The Hub-Yeovil Community Support Charity Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees (who are also the Directors for the purpose of Company Law) have pleasure in presenting their annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (SORP FRS 102implemented 1 January 2019) have been adopted in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Public benefit
The trustees report that the charitable activities, described in the “Mission statement”, “Activities” and “Achievements and performance” paragraphs, are for the public benefit. The trustees also confirm that they have complied with section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity was established as a company limited by guarantee (incorporated 26 August 2010) and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (registered 29 October 2014). The affairs of the charity are governed by its memorandum and articles under which the members of the company are its trustees and control of the charity and its property and funds.
The Trustees serving during the year and since the year end are as follows:
-
N A Downton
-
L Eveleigh (appointed 16 June 2022)
-
J A Matthews
-
J S McCabe
-
D Scarratt (appointed 10 March 2022)
-
• I Raby (resigned 7 December 2021) • I A W Robinson (resigned 10 March 2022)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
A robust process is in place for the recruitment and appointment of trustees. Trustees carry out a skills gap analysis before recruiting and now advertise widely to find people with the required skills and experience.
Induction and training of trustees
Newly appointed trustees are provided with a comprehensive induction process including the provision of appropriate documentation re roles and responsibilities, a tour of the organisation and mentoring by established trustees.
Arrangements for setting key management personnel remuneration
The trustees employ staff to run the day to day activities of the charity, with strategic decisions being taken at a trustee level.
The two Joint Chief Executive Officers and the Operations Manager are considered to be key management personnel.
The Trustees meet at least quarterly and delegate all operational decisions and running of the Hub to the CEOs. The trustee board is independent from the management team. The day-to-day management is then delegated onto the Operations Manager.
The Chair carries out an annual appraisal of the Chief Executive Officers and agrees their salary with the other trustees. This review will include benchmarking of salaries with other CEOs of local charities or similar organisations.

Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The objects of the Charity, as set out in the governing document, are:
"restricted specifically, only for the public benefit to relieve the needs of young people and adults with learning disabilities / difficulties, physical disabilities, and emotional and social difficulties, in particular by providing training, skills and support that will enable them to lead meaningful and independent lives, fulfil their aspirations to work and make positive contributions to society.”
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help.
The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes.
In the Summer of 2022 the Board are carrying out a review of the Charity’s Vision, Mission and Values and updating them, where required, to reflect the future direction of the Hub.
Our overall vision of for adults with learning disabilities and autism to live an independent life as possible. Everything we do is aligned to that vision. There is increasing demand for the services we provide, demonstrated by significant increases in referrals from Social Services, local colleges, schools, care homes, etc particularly, as a result of traditional Council run day services no longer being provided.
The coronavirus pandemic was of great concern for the Hub. The financial viability of the Hub was a major concern along with the health and wellbeing of trainees and staff. The Hub was closed for long periods but It also provided a time for the Trustees and senior management to reflect on the direction of the Hub. As a consequence the following took place:
-
Trustees refocused the business strategy back to its original charitable objectives with greater emphasis on the trainees and less on financial outcomes
-
A new financial model has been introduced whereby the charity is now financially viable and sustainable in the long term, with minimal reliance on grants and donations.
-
An independent governance review has been carried out and improvements made
-
New trustees have been appointed, filling the skills gap
-
The café and scrapstore have been re-launched and re-invigorated
-
The organisational structure has changed to meet the new needs of the charity. This includes a reduction in staff numbers and recruitment of new staff with the required skillset going forward
-
We have created a safe environment where our trainees can be stretched to achieve their full potential
-
We are now more flexible in the offer to our trainees, they have more choice in when they attend and what they attend. They never have to attend sessions they do not want to.
We have increased the quality and variety of the sessions we provide for our trainees. Link to our website https://www.thehubyeovil.co.uk and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/HubYeovil
Those trainees who want to, get the opportunity to work in the Hub café serving customers or in the kitchen helping to prepare meals and make cakes etc. There is also the opportunity to work in the Hub’s scrapstore, again learning customer service skills etc. Other activities that trainees can get involved in include:

Fundraising disclosures
The Charity did not have any fundraising events in 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Use of volunteers
The Charity has a small number of dedicated and much valued volunteers. The volunteers support the running of the scrapstore and organising events but due to the coronavirus pandemic their involvement in 2021 was minimal.
Achievements and performance
Key financial performance indicators
Trainee numbers are measured and compared on a monthly basis. The Charity had a very challenging year in 2021 with the service closed for periods due to the pandemic. During these periods the staff continued to regularly engage with our trainees via phone calls and Zoom meetings. This included activities, social chats, weekly quizzes' etc. Despite the pandemic the trainee numbers have increased to 60, the highest number the Hub has ever supported. This figure is even more pleasing because during the year some trainees have left, having learnt new skills and grown in confidence, they were ready to move on to volunteering or other opportunities.
A detailed monthly Profit & Loss account is prepared with commentary on activities and this is sent to the Trustees. Cashflow is monitored on a daily basis.
Key non-financial performance indicators
Trainees are set goals and their performance against goals measured. Those working in the cafe get the opportunity to attain bronze, silver and gold certificates re catering and food hygiene and barista training.
We have also introduced a parent/carer forum for feedback on the service provided, share any concerns and to discuss future initiatives

Financial review
During the year ended 31 December 2021, the Charity had total income of £502,586 (2020: £611,160) and total expenditure of £473,354 (2020: £550,176). The income and expenditure relating to restricted funds was £6,000 (2020: £32,443) and £21,414 (2020: £34,628). The Charity was in receipt of Government grant income in relation to Coronavirus of £59,797 (2020: £117,294).
Total funds at 31 December 2021 were £116,162 (2020: £88,930). This is split between unrestricted £116,162 and restricted £nil. Total funds at 31 December 2021 were £88,930. This was split between unrestricted (£113,822) and restricted £202,752. Total free reserves as at 31 December 2021 were £26,207 (2020: deficit £127,251).
Some years ago, the charity received income ringfenced for a property purchase. When this property was sold, the money was put back into a restricted fund. We have now received confirmation that this money can be derestricted and accordingly a transfer has been made back unto unrestricted funds, to restore the positive position of those funds.
Plans for the future
Our plans for the future are to continue to provide a much-needed service where demand is growing. We have no plans to diversify or significantly change the services we provide. We have a robust financial model where we are making small surpluses. We just want to help adults with learning disabilities live an independent life as possible. We want to stretch our trainees in a safe environment, helping them to reach their potential and thrive in life.
We would also like to be more inclusive and provide changing facilities so that we can offer our services to more wheelchair users.
We are also keen to work in partnership with other local community organisations and charities.
Policy on reserves
The Charity has improved its financial control systems over the last twelve months. Monthly detailed Profit and Loss statements are provided for the Trustees and bank reconciliations and cashflow projections are carried out on a daily basis. A robust financial model is now in place with a target of retaining three months operating costs as reserves. This was not achieved in 2021, mainly due to the café and scrapstore being closed for long periods, due to the pandemic.
The Hub does not want to have reserves in excess of three months as any surpluses will be used for the benefit of the trainees, i.e purchasing new equipment, paying for trainee trips out, paying providers for completely new sessions for the trainees, etc

The Hub-Yeovil Community Support Charity Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Principal funding sources
The principal funding sources for the Charity are currently by way of skills development training paid via direct payments, commissioned services by the Local Authority or self-funders. This is supplemented by income from the Hub’s café and scrapstore.
In addition, the Charity receives funding via grants and donations.
Major risks and management of those risks
The Charity's main source of income is fees from trainees. The Local Authorities set up a daily rate for day services and this amount is charged to the individual dependent upon how many days they attend the Hub each month. If the Local Authority reduces the daily rate for day services or changes it policy/methodology, this is a risk to the Charity.
To mitigate this risk the Charity wants to become less reliant on Local Authority income and plans to increase other sources of income such as fund raising and cafe and scrapstore income.
Reputational risk
The Charity works with vulnerable adults with learning disabilities and autism. It is essential that the Charity provides professional services in a safe and secure environment.
The Charity has comprehensive safeguarding, whistle-blowing and other policies in place and staff are appropriately vetted and trained.
Government Policy
The Government could change their policies in how they see services for vulnerable adults delivered.
The Charity keeps up to date with any Government press releases, changes in legislation and maintains effective relationships with key stakeholders.
Financial instruments
Objectives and policies
The Charity's activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk.
Cash flow risk
The Charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates. The Charity does not currently hold any interest bearing assets or liabilities.
Credit risk
The Charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables.
The Charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
Page 9
The Hub-Yeovil Community Support Charity Trustee Directors’ Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2021
The Charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
Liquidity risk
The Charity's liquidity risk is attributable to it's level of cash and credit lines available.
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Hub-Yeovil Community Support Charity for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departure 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and 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 in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

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
-
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.

Where funds are received in advance, for a specified period, these funds are deferred and recognised in the period to which they relate. Where funds have not been received in a specified period, these funds will be accrued in debtors and recognised in the period to which they relate. Not all grants received have conditions and performance indicators attached, where this is the case, the income is included within donations. Performance related grants are included within Charitable Activities income.

1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. All expenditure is gross of VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Raising funds expenditure comprises of costs incurred by the charity in relation to the running of the café and scrapstore.
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.
Governance costs include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.
1.5 Fixed assets
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives at the following rate:- Leasehold improvements – depreciated over the life of the lease
Furniture and equipment – 25% per annum straight line basis Motor vehicles- 25% reducing balance
Fixed assets are valued at cost less depreciation. No assets are capitalised under £50. Fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment.
1.6 Stocks
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO).
1.7 Debtors
Accrued income comprises amounts due from funders and is recognised when the charity is entitled to the grant, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
- 1.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand 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.
1.9 Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.
1.10 Taxation
The company is a registered charity and is therefore not liable to corporation tax to the extent that income and gains are applied to the charitable objectives of the charity.
Page 17
The Hub-Yeovil Community Support Charity Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2021
1.11 Pension contributions
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The scheme and its assets are held by independent managers. Contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
1.12 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds receivable or generated for the objects of the Bureau without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criterion is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
1.13 Operating leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred over the term of the lease. The charity has an operating lease for the premises in which they operate, as well as photocopier and telephone leases. The title of the leased premises and equipment remains with the lessor.
1.14 VAT
The charity is not VAT registered and therefore all costs are inclusive of VAT.
1.15 Financial instruments
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements are as follows:
Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
1.16 Covid-19
The Trustees have considered the implication of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of the charity. The charity has been able to continue to deliver the majority of its services and has attracted additional funding to enable a response to any restrictions and closures of the Hub. Taking into account all reasonable circumstances, the Trustees believe that the charity remains a going concern and no adjustments to the accounts are necessary.

The unrestricted funds are available to be used at the trustees discretion to further the objects of the charity.
The LPR Consulting LLP fund was donated to purchase a residential property for a trustee to live in to enable them to fulfil their role within the charity. Rental income was receivable during the period of occupancy. The property was subsequently sold and the funds remained restricted to spend on the repayment of debts and/or expand the operations of the charity.
The charity has now obtained confirmation from the funder that the funds were only ever restricted for the purpose of the property purchased, and that following sale of the property, the funds could be derestricted. This transfer to unrestricted funds has now been applied.
The Yarlington Housing Community Fund represents the net book value of assets purchased from the money donated for the purchase of a fridge and freezer. In 2021, the net book value of the asset has been transferred to unrestricted.
The Schuh Foundation Fund represents the net book value of assets purchased from the money donated for the purchase of a dishwasher. In 2021, the net book value of the asset has been transferred to unrestricted.
Battens Grant Fund was donated to enable the charity to carry out first aid training.

Screwfix Grant relates to money donated to be spent towards renovation works. The balance represents the net book value of the assets purchased for renovation works. In 2021, the net book value of the asset has been transferred to unrestricted.
The Yarlington Housing Enterprise Investment Fund was for improvements to the building where the charity installed an internal roof on the warehouse and made other improvements in the kitchen and warehouse area. This balance represents the net book value of the assets purchased for renovation works. In 2021, the net book value of the asset has been transferred to unrestricted.
