NEPHRA GOOD NEIGHBOURS CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our activities are carried out primarily at Nephra HQ which is a premises rented at 27 Parkfield Rd North, New Moston, Manchester, M40 3TB. In addition activities are carried at our allotment on Northfield Road, New Moston, and within the wider local community.
In normal circumstances income is generated from day to day activities, ad hoc fundraising events, and from grants received. This would usually entail delivery of community based educational classes (typical class subjects include computer skills, arts/crafts, local history, music and language skills) and conducted social activities (e.g. luncheon club, film clubs), throughout the year. Also we have a befriending scheme which helps to develop our presence in the wider community, our allotment provides a focus for our public outdoor and environmental activities, and our periodic outings/holidays provide for popular social interaction.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we were required to curtail our usual activities significantly during the year to 31 March 2021. Our services were adjusted to take account of the fact that our residents were unable to attend the Nephra centre for much of the year. Where possible our services were therefore taken out into the community, including a 'Meals on Wheels' service replacing our luncheon club. Toward the end of the financial year, once the Nephra centre reopened, we were able to make and sell small food items (at the centre and in the wider community) in order to boost our day to day income.
Each of these activities is not otherwise available to local residents in any equivalent form; and hence we believe Nephra plays an important role in helping to bring together and educate people from all parts of the local community.
No specific fundraising events were held in the year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, we were unable to proceed with any planned periodic outings or holidays, for the same reason.
Grants were received from a number of sources, including the National Lottery, Manchester City Council (MCC), the Opens fund, NHS Manchester CCG, Forever Manchester, and TSB. A number of these grants were to support or Meals on Wheels community travel, befriending and other community efforts during the pandemic.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
At 31 March 2021 there remain unrestricted cash reserves available to Nephra of £14,306. This is a total sum held in Nephra's main bank account, plus a smaller amount of cash on hand. This is available to assist with the future day to day activities of Nephra, should this be required.
Annual Review
Our financial statements show net incoming resources for the year of £98,170 which includes:
- Grant income £77,606
The whole (£77,706) of these funds were spent on delivering services to the community, in accordance with the terms of the grants. There are no remaining 'restricted' funds
- Income from other day to day activities was £20,249.
These included income from Meals on Wheels, sales of food as well as other small ad hoc income receipts.Expenses incurred on these items were £15,501.
In addition an amount of £315 rental income was received in the year.
Total outgoings for the year were £93,107; consisting of grant expenditure £77,606, expenses of day to day activities £1,818. other regular outgoings £6,285 for utilities telephone, travel costs, repairs, postage and stationery plus depreciation on computer and other equipment of £7,398.
The difference between total income £98,170 and expenditure £93,107 represents a profit of £5,063 for the year. These profits (along with other reserves) are intended to be retained for future use as the trustees determine appropriate.
All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year for their work as acting as trustees. Professional fees are however sometimes paid to tutors to prepare and deliver certain educational classes under terms agreed and
authorised by the trustees, and in accord with grants provided by Manchester City Council. All such fees are paid by agreement of the trustees. Other classes and activities are delivered on a voluntary basis.
We enjoy tax exemption on all our regular activities as these are applied for our charitable aims along with exemption from business rates on the property we occupy for our charitable purposes. Nephra is not currently registered with HM Revenue and Customs for VAT or Gift Aid purposes.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational structure
The trustees are responsible for setting Nephra's strategy, the primary focus of which is on the education and development of our community, through the pursuit of Nephra's stated aims.
We welcome people from all backgrounds, and work as an equal opportunity organisation which is free from any form of discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability.
We also make reasonable adjustments to meet the needs of those who are or become disabled and we re committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all parties and at all locations within the community where Nephra operates. For example any staff member, service provider, volunteer, or other worker, potentially coming into contact with vulnerable persons (of any age) will be subject Disclosure Notice and Barring (DNB) checks as well as being trained in our policies and principles.
The trustees determine the general policy and activities of the charity, along with input from other volunteers who are asked to contribute to our management committee. The trustees, along with any management committee members, meet on a regular basis (at least six times a year) to discuss and agree the overall management and control of the charity, along with any upcoming future events and requirements.
The trustees and Nephra centre management maintain an effective and necessary control on the finances of the charity relative to its size and level of operation. This includes recording and countersigning of cash income and obtaining receipts for expenditure. Payments to and from the bank account are also cross checked, with each cheque requiring two signatories.
Related party transactions

These services are supplied under terms as agreed to be open and objective, as authorised by other trustees, and funds are expended in accord with terms of grants provided by Manchester City Council. The trustee has received the following sums during the year consisting of professional tutoring fees plus reimbursement of actual day to day expenses incurred: Iris Cooper £1,200..
