## **Foreword by the Trustees of Favell Day Services**
Welcome to our seventh formal Annual Report which I trust is both helpful and informative.
We would specifically like to thank both our employees and volunteers who have worked in such a committed way to continue the work of the Charity during the past year, so that it was able to return to providing day care support for our members following the significant constraints that the Covid 19 pandemic had caused in the previous year.
The year has seen us continue to adapt our working arrangements to reflect continued social distancing best practice guidance. As the year progressed we have been able to return to offering three sessions per week including making use of facilities at the Blackthorn community facilities.
Finally, I extend thanks to my fellow trustees for their active contribution to the management of the Charity during the year.

## **Who We Are and what we aim to do**
Favell Day Services was registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation under registration number 1162011 on the 4th June 2015, having operated from January 2014 with oversight from Northamptonshire Health Charity whilst the formal charity registration process was progressed.
The Charity objective is to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation for persons over the age of 18, who have need thereof by reason of a physical disability, with the object of improving their life experience and living conditions.
It's current area of operation is Northampton, but its longer term ambition remains to extend its service provision to other parts of Northamptonshire.
Members of the Charity are asked to pay for the service they receive while the charity seeks to augment this income with grants, donations, legacies and community fund raising activities.
The care service specifically seeks to provide an enjoyable care environment for its members while also providing a break for carers and family members.
We would like you to support us in our crucial work, so please read on, and let us tell you more about ourselves, what we do, what we have achieved and how we go about spending the money given to us.
In setting its objectives and making its plans for the year, the trustees gave consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to the public benefit of providing support for the relief of ill-health.

## **Introducing our Trustees**
## **Keith Brooks**
My initial involvement with FDS was during the period when the local NHS charity acted as fund custodian, and I offered advice in progressing charity registration. I was asked to continue as a trustee and have continued my involvement seeing the value of the service provided to its service user members. I bring a variety of experience gained from both the NHS and faith charity sectors.
## **Jean Howell**
I am the mother of 3 grownup children. I worked as PA/Secretary before having my children. More recently I have studied with OU and gained a BA Hons in Humanities. I am a volunteer with FDS on Wednesdays and was nominated as a Trustee in this capacity. I have considerable voluntary work experience including at Cynthia Spencer Hospice and being County Secretary for Girl Guides.
## **Maureen Jennings**
I was a service user of Favell House from 2007 and became a founder member of Favell Day Services. I have three grown up children and four grandchildren, one boy and three girls. I became a trustee to seek to represent the views of our service members.
## **Liz Johnstone**
I was actively involved with encouraging the formation of the charity and continue as a service user. I have been a governor for NHFT along with being an active member of a number of local groups seeking to support those with particular neurological conditions.
## **Tina Rivett**
I started as a volunteer in September 2021 when my granddaughter started school. I became a trustee in December 2021 following the Charity AGM having been nominated to represent the other volunteers and also the members.
## **Michaela Twigg**
I joined FDS as a service user in 2018 and have enjoyed myself immensely. As a nominated service user representative, I seek to represent their views and as a relative newbie to the trust seek to offer a different perspective. I am an older person and wheelchair user, my hobbies include knitting, cooking and card making.
## **Giles West**
As Business Development Manager for NHFT, the founder members of the Charity asked me to provide support with the initial service planning and asked me to continue as a trustee.

## **Jenny Wright**
I worked as a teacher prior to my illness and particularly enjoyed working with dyslexic children towards the end. I was diagnosed over twenty years ago with Cerebellar Ataxia. This causes balance problems and my particular strain is genetic. I attended Favell House for a few years until the closure and have been a member of FDS since its formation. As a service user I am in a good position to observe problems and needs as they arise and seek to bring this understanding to trustee discussions.

## **Operational review**
We recommenced provision of day care sessions at St Lukes in April 2021 with revised working arrangements, taking full account of social distancing and best practice guidance. As of the start of June 2021 we had moved to three day opening, but with reduced numbers in each session to comply with continued social distancing requirements.
During the year we have been able to gradually increase numbers in each session as social distancing guidance has been relaxed.
One of the sad effects of the pandemic on our membership has been the deterioration in the physical health of many of our members, meaning a need to increase staffing levels to respond to increased levels of care required.
As of August 2021, we moved our Friday sessions to the Blackthorn Local Centre so providing an alternative site in the eastern part of Northampton as previously.
The level of grant support received during the year significantly helped towards funding our running costs thanks to the services of our fundraising consultant.

## **Member support**
A key to the effective financing of the service is the support individual members receive through the funding they receive in their individual care budgets. To this end the care team seek to give effective support to our members with regard to the ongoing conversations with the funding agencies to ensure the appropriate financial support is received.
## **Charity plans for 2022/23**
The plans for the current year are focused on consolidating our current service provision, particularly seeking to further respond to the increased care needs of our members.

## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Charity's unrestricted fund was established using the model declaration of trust and all funds held on trust as at the date of registration were all part of this unrestricted fund. Subsequent donations and gifts received by the Charity are attributable to the original fund or have been recorded against designated funds which identify planned usage.
Newly appointed Trustees are provided with information about the Charity, including the Charity constitution, Trustees' annual report and accounts, access to the Charity’s policies and procedures, and information about trusteeship and are provided with any specific training that their role may require.
Acting for the Trustees, the Operations group, is responsible for the day to day management of the Charity. The Committee is required to:
- Monitor the current operational arrangements for sessions held to ensure service, safeguarding and safety standards are fully complied with
- Consider and approve requests from potential new service users as to their suitability to attend the day services provided.
- Ensure maintenance of member records to meet basic duty of care requirements.
## **Public Benefit Test**
In accordance with the 2011 Charities Act the Trustees have ensured that due regard has been taken to ensure that all expenditure incurred has met the Public Benefit test taking due regard to the fact that it is a member organisation.
## **Fundraising activities**
The charity utilised a consultant to support the submission of grant applications to both support both running costs and purchase of further equipment as required. The cost of fundraising for the grants obtained was 12% for initial year results.

## **Risk Management**
The major risks to which the Charity is exposed have been identified and considered.
They have been reviewed and systems established, including a formal risk register, which has been subject to review and includes reference to mitigating actions.
The most significant risks relate to care of service users and detailed care plans are maintained to mitigate against this, along with specific risk assessments for all high risk activities.
Income and Expenditure is being monitored in total and is compared with the approved plan on a quarterly basis, to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves.
## **Reserves Policy**
The charity seeks to maintain a cash reserve equivalent to at least four months operating expenditure.

## **Statement of Trustee responsibilities in respect of the Trustee annual report and the financial statements**
Under charity law, the Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements for each financial year which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of expenditure over income for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, generally accepted accounting practice entails that the trustee:
• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• state whether the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• state whether the financial statements comply with the trust deed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.
The Trustees are required to act in accordance with the trust deed of the Charity, within the framework of trust law. The Trustee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records, sufficient to disclose at any time, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity at that time, and to enable the trustee to ensure that, where any statements of accounts are prepared by the Trustee under section 132(1) of the Charities Act 2011, those statements of accounts comply with the requirements of regulations under that provision. The Trustee has general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to the Trustee to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The charity currently has no Restricted funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor.
Unrestricted funds include designated funds, where the donor has made known their nonbinding wishes or where the trustees, at their discretion, have created a fund for a specific purpose.
## **(c) Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **(d) Incoming resources from legacies**
Legacies are accounted for as incoming resources either upon receipt or where the receipt of funds in relation to the legacy is probable; this will be once confirmation has been received from the representatives of the estate(s) that probate has been granted, and that the executors have established that there is sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy and once all conditions attached to the legacy have been fulfilled.
## **(e) Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to each category of expense shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. Expenditure is recognised when the following criteria are met:
- There is a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event
- It is more likely than not that a transfer of benefits (usually a cash payment) will be required in settlement
- The amount of the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was Contractual arrangements are recognised as goods or services supplied.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FAVELL HOUSE DAY SERVICES**
This report is on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31st May 2022 which are set out on pages 13 - 21 of this report.
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is 'limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 1 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect the requirements:
- That proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- accounts are prepared which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- 2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
