## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

Principle objectives and activities for the public benefit 

The principal activities of the business are: - 

(1) To act as a resource for young people living in Tees Valley by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical education and other activities as a means of: 

• Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals. 

• Advancing education. 

• Relieving unemployment. 

• Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons. 

(2) To advance the education by such means as the trustees deem fit, in particular but not exclusively by assisting the provision of facilities not required by the local education authority and promoting learning for pleasure by people no longer in full time employment through the continued development of their individual capabilities, competences, skills and understanding in subjects of educational value. 

(3) To promote the capacity and skills of the members of socially and economically disadvantaged communities in the Tees Valley in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate more fully in society. 

The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## _**Fundraising disclosures**_ 

The charity is required to report how it deals with fundraising from the public. The charity does not use a professional fundraiser or commercial participator to raise funds. Any monies raised direct from the public follows all guidelines set out by the Charity Commission and UK law in every respect. We respect the privacy and contact preferences of all public donors. 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

## **Trustees Report** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

• Received Holiday activity funding from both Stockton Council and Middlesbrough Council to deliver activities for children and a hot meal during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holiday’s. During the summer alone we provided 2,900 meals for children from areas of disadvantage. 

- Received Holiday Enrichment Program funding from Stockton Council for May and February half term. 

- Received award from ASDA green token scheme. 

- Delivered food hampers to local families in need funded by the Food Power Network. 

- Provided each child that attended our HAF provision at Christmas with a hamper. 

- Provided each family that attended our HAF provision with a winter warmer hamper. 

- Held our annual fundraising evening. 

- Joined Easy Fundraising to increase funding. 

## **Financial review** 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

The trustees believe that the charity should hold financial reserves because it has no endowment funding and is entirely dependent upon donor funding from year to year which is inevitably subject to fluctuation and it needs to ensure that it can meet its contractual liabilities as they fall due. 

In light of the above, the Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted reserves should be no less than three months of wages and salaries expenditure. This would equate to unrestricted reserves of approximately £10,000. The Trustees have taken steps to ensure the current level of reserves meets the reserves policy. 

Free reserves at the year end are £10,309 (2022: £3,495). 

## **Key Management Personnel** 

The board, who give their time freely and no trustees received remuneration in the year, have considered who the Key Management Personnel (KMP) of the charity, as noted in the Reference and Administration section. Together with the board, these KMP are those in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the activities of the charity on a day to day basis. The pay of the KMP is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The trustees benchmark against pay levels of other charities and similar organisations within the sector and the region. Pay levels are set using this information together with the budget and forecast information, ensuring that the charity can afford any proposed increases. The board then agree any uplift to remuneration.

## **Plans for future periods** 

The trustees believe that the following opportunities will come to fruition in future trading periods. 

- Relaunch Children’s University to schools and the community. 

- Increase funding. 

- Organise additional fund-raising events. 

- Deliver Crucial Crew at Middlesbrough Teesside University for Middlesbrough Primary Schools. 

- Continue to provide opportunities to children, young people and the wider community. 

- Continue to apply for funding through the Holiday Activity Fund in Stockton. 

- Continue to apply for funding to deliver activities and meals during the summer to the Middlesbrough 

- Holiday Activity Fund.

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes the charity will continue in operational existence for the forseeable future. 

The charity meets its day to day working capital requirements through cash generated from operations. 

The charity’s forecasts and projections for the next twelve months show that the charity should be able to continue in operational existence for that period, taking into account reasonable possible changes in trading performance.

## **Iron Guidance Limited** 

## **Trustees Report** 

## **Statement of Responsibilities (within Trustees Report)** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Iron Guidance Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Reappointment of independent examiner** 

In accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, a resolution for the re-appointment of Azets Audit Services as independent examiners of the charity is to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. 

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 21/12/2023.................... and signed on its behalf by:

## **Iron Guidance Limited** 

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Iron Guidance Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Iron Guidance Limited as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

## **Iron Guidance Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Estimation uncertainty and judgements** 

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. 

Accruals 

Accruals are calculated where a service has been provided but the charity has not yet been invoiced. 

## Prepayments 

Prepayments are calculated where an invoice has been provided in advance of the service taking place. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Other trading activities**_ 

Income from trading activities is recognised when goods or services are sold. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Raising funds**_ 

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of activities and consumables. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

## **Iron Guidance Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

## **Governance costs** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Furniture and equipment 25% straight line 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

## **Iron Guidance Limited** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
