Risk Management
The Directors actively review the major risks that the Trust faces on a regular basis and believe that the establishment of a reserve fund combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Directors have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Trust and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the risks.
Organisational Structure
The Trust is organised so that the Directors meet regularly to manage its affairs. Meetings take place nine times a year. The Directors delegate day to day running of the Trust and its medium term strategic development to the Chief Executive Officer.

We currently have 23 volunteers working each week for the Trust.

Public Benefit Statement
In addition to more than 150 people who are supported each week, the wider benefits to the general public are very apparent. Our services and products are sold on the ability to pay and assessment of need. This means that many local people are receiving very low-cost services and assistance while the volunteers gain wide ranging, invaluable work experience in return.
From a financial point of view, a person who doesn’t work and claims benefits, costs the government £20,000 p.a. With that in mind, the 28 people that have been helped into employment, are saving the country over £560,000 per annum.
Responsibilities of the Management Committee
Company law requires the management committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the Trust as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and the application of resources, including income and expenditure for the financial year.
In preparing those financial statements the management committee should follow best practice and:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to consider that the organisation will continue on that basis
The management committee is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the organisation and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The management committee is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and any other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities (March 2005) and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006, relating to small entities.
