Team Domenica[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Introduction

Introduction

It has been another year of growth and opportunity, balanced by the inevitable challenges associated with nationwide changes resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Inflation has impacted the day-to-day costs in our cafés, and the trend for working from home means that we have seen reduced footfall. We have therefore developed our external catering business, which means lower costs, and new work experience opportunities for our candidates. This has got off to a terrific start.

After six years we decided that the time was right to become a Specialist Further Education College, recognised by the Department of Education. After an inspection visit in March, we were notified in May that we had successfully completed the final stage of the due diligence process. This is an exciting moment for us, and is testament to all the work that Lisa Campbell-Squires, our Programme and Strategy Director and her team, have done to bring us to this point. It will also mean a significant increase in running costs, as new core staffing positions will be needed to comply with the statutory legislation.

I am delighted to welcome Tim Drew to the team as Chief Operating Officer. Tim has a wealth of experience in the charitable sector and is bringing much needed rigour, as well as putting new systems in place to ensure that we operate as efficiently as possible.

Our Supported Internship Programme is successful and expanding, therefore we have recruited new employer partners and Job Coaches to ensure that we give our candidates the best chance of getting into paid work. We have also broadened our range of employer partners beyond the hospitality industry to better reflect the needs of our candidates.

Some of our candidates are still struggling with changes to the work environment, and a few have ongoing mental health problems as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns. This means that the growing number of candidates in paid employment need our exclusive Wrap Around Programme more than ever before. This regular check-in on candidates and employers is crucial to job retention.

We also recognise that our candidates need to have fun, and have organised more social events for them, including very popular discos in our Preston Road café. These events, including various outdoor activities, aim to combat the isolation that is so often felt by people with learning disabilities, and which was exacerbated by lockdowns.

We were delighted to be invited to be keynote speakers at the Times Educational Supplement (Tes) SEND Show in London this year. Listening to Lisa’s presentation made me realise and appreciate quite how far we have come in six years.

But, as ever, there is much more to do, and many more families and people who need our help. In the year ahead we will be preparing a strategic plan to map out the way forward.

I am enormously grateful to our Board of Trustees for all their expertise and support, to every single member of staff for their endless dedication, and – of course – to our candidates, without whom our lives would be much the poorer.

Baroness Monckton

Founder and Chair

Annual Report of the Trustees

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their Annual Report and accounts for the year ending 31 July 2023. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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) published in October 2019.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee having been incorporated on 9 November 2015. It is also a registered charity (number 1165494) and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 9 November 2015.

The Trustees – who are also the directors for the purpose of company law – who served during the year, and since year-end:

– Baroness Monckton

The charity is run by the board of Trustees, which sets and monitors strategy and policy. The board receives monthly financial reports as well as quarterly reports of all the activities of the charity. A minimum of three board meetings are held each year. All Trustees are encouraged to visit the charity to familiarise themselves with its work and the context within which it operates.

The board of Trustees comprises a mixture of individuals from a wide range of backgrounds with extensive business expertise. The board considers the mix of skills and experience needed to run the charity effectively and will recruit new Trustees to fill any gaps. New Trustees are recommendations of the board and elected in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the charity.

Additionally, new Trustees are involved and encouraged to attend an induction to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates, covering:

The responsibilities of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity, including the Memorandum and Articles

Resourcing and the current financial

position as set out in the latest published accounts

Safeguarding

None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Details of directors’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed to the accounts in notes 10 and 21.

The Trustees are responsible for the high-level strategic development and direction of the charity. They delegate authority to deliver the strategy and day-to-day management responsibility to the key Senior Leadership Team (SLT).

During the reporting period the Trustees determined that the SLT comprises the Programme & Strategy Director – Lisa Campbell-Squires, and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Drew. Executive Director, Jo Gracie, was on maternity leave throughout the reporting period.

The pay relating to the Senior Leadership Team is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with average earnings. The Trustees benchmark against pay levels in other charities of a similar size.

During the reporting period we were in partnership with a specialist SEN provider, St John’s College and School, who provide valuable expertise and support to our operation. After the reporting period, the charity registered with the Department for Education as a stand-alone specialist SEN provider.

Café Domenica Ltd is the charity’s sole subsidiary company.

What we do[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Team Domenica

Team Domenica[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Why we do it

What we do

At Team Domenica, we create bright futures for people with learning disabilities through education, personalised employment programmes and community partnerships that increase independence and create pathways to work.

Based in Brighton & Hove, and working across Sussex, we support 90 young people with learning disabilities – our candidates – preparing them for the workplace and developing their capacity to lead happy, fulfilled lives.

Our proudest achievement since opening in 2016 is that 81% of candidates have now achieved paid employment through our Supported Internship Programme, and over 95% of candidates who have secured a paid role remain in employment for at least one year, thanks to our ongoing support.

81%

This success is the result of the dedication and hard work of our young people, our rich and varied programmes, our transformative partnerships; and, of course, our keystone: the inspiring team who support our candidates in their journeys.

Why we do it

There are 1.5 million people with a learning disability in the UK (Mencap 2022) . Just 5.1% of adults with a learning disability in England are in paid employment (NHS Digital, 2021) . Far too many are missing out on the basic right to work, as well as the wider social networks, better emotional and physical health, and increased independence that employment can provide.

In Brighton & Hove, it is estimated that there are around 5,000 working age adults with a learning disability, of 18% whom just 8.8% are in paid employment (Brighton & Hove Adult Learning Disability Strategy 2021-2026).

People with learning disabilities are seven times more likely to suffer from chronic loneliness and isolation

from their community. They are twice as likely to be vulnerable to mental health issues (Learning Disability Today, 2019).

Values, Vision & Mission[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Team Domenica

Our vision and values

After seven years of work in our growing community, we have established ourselves as a leading provider of support and employment opportunities for people with learning disabilities in Sussex. We felt that the time had come to revisit our vision and values. Drawing on the spirit of our name, we knew that teamwork would be key to uncovering our lived values.

Beginning with our candidates, we then approached all of our beneficiaries, partners and staff to find out what they considered our values to be based on their experiences. After several exercises we are delighted to say that our revised vision and values are…

VISION

HOW WE GET THERE

Our vision is for all people with learning disabilities to be valued in the workplace, to thrive in life and feel included as members of society.

We create bright futures for people with learning disabilities through education, personalised employment programmes and community partnerships that increase independence and create pathways to work.

Our organisational values are the common threads that everyone involved with Team Domenica experiences day-to-day. They are also our strengths, helping us to fulfil transformative objectives (see pages 10-11).

WE VALUE

Positive relationships

We know that friendships, mutual support and a sense of belonging are important for everyone, be that our candidates, their families, our team, employer partners or wider community.

Building confidence

We experience increased independence and a boost in confidence by being able to try new things and being trusted to apply our learnings.

Feeling happy

We have fun while learning and feel happy to be part of Team Domenica as well as the opportunities that we create together in the workplace and beyond.

Growing skills

We enjoy a variety of training and interactions that build our work and social skills. Most importantly, we don’t give up when things are hard – we just find another way.

An inclusive community

We should feel safe to be ourselves. Our collective actions shape an inclusive environment at Team Domenica and within the community. We celebrate differences and show that, with the right support, all of us can contribute and succeed.

A bright future

Team Domenica is a journey towards a bright future, where we all have the chance to feel welcomed and lead happy, fulfilled lives.

The candidate journey

----- Start of picture text -----

----- End of picture text -----

In life, the path to reaching your potential is rarely a straight line from A to B. At Team Domenica, we view every young person’s journey as unique to them, shaping and reshaping our programmes around their needs and ability. As a result, it’s not always easy to define a standard journey to paid employment, but universally, all candidates travel through extensive and tailored programmes of education, training and mentoring; wellbeing support, work experience, and internships. When they find paid work, both candidate and employer receive ongoing support from our team, ensuring long-term success.

Supported Supported Employment Internship Programme (SEP) Programme (SIP)

Wrap Around Programme (WAP)

When a candidate progresses into employment, we continue to offer tailored support to both the candidate and partnered employer. We are committed to sustaining meaningful employment and remain available for the long term.

This is the first year in a candidate’s journey towards employment and includes: education in the classroom, training in our cafés, Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE), enrichment activities and work experience.

This is the second stage of a young person’s journey with us. Candidates move onto a supported internship in the workplace of their choosing with a view to gaining paid work with one of our partnered employers.

Day Service

Our Day Service is open to any person with learning disabilities who is over the age of 19 and wants to increase their skills, gain confidence and make connections in a supported work-based setting. The programme develops employability skills through supported work experience and enrichment activities. Some candidates join our Day Service for a year’s experience before progressing onto Team Domenica’s employment programmes and paid work. For others, it is an inspiring and fun way to be at the heart of our community, building friendships and learning valuable skills.

Challenges in 2022-23[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Team Domenica

Team Domenica[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Challenges in 2022-23

Challenges in 2022-23

The backdrop of this year can be characterised by the lasting echoes of COVID-19 and the cost of living crisis which has surreptitiously been undermining recovery from the pandemic. The effects of these two forces have been significant; on our candidates, our organisation, our staff, our employer partners, and the wider setting of education and statutory support for people with learning disabilities.

For our alumni already in paid work, some have continued to struggle with mental health issues instigated by the pandemic. Some have been challenged by the new ways of working, particularly in the ever-squeezed hospitality industry.

Our Wrap Around and Day Service Programmes have supported these candidates, helping them to stay connected to their community, feel valued and look for new employment opportunities where they want it.

For a few candidates looking to find paid work in a threatening economic climate, the rug has been pulled from under their feet. Whilst there is a UK-wide labour shortage, we are finding that there is also some trepidation

around offering paid positions. Where a year ago, a job might have been easily guaranteed, financial positions have quickly changed thanks to inflation, and that job no longer exists.

This trend has meant that our Employment Team has been faced with the most challenging year they’ve ever had. Not only have they had these external pressures, but the number of candidates seeking paid work more than doubled in size (20 vs 9 last year) after COVID-19 caused a whole year group to repeat their first year.

The team worked relentlessly to find all of these candidates suitable internships that would result in paid work. It wasn’t easy, but by the end of the year all 20 candidates completed their internships and 15 have been offered paid work (at time of writing). They won’t stop there and are working to get the rest into employment.

Finally, our cafés continue to struggle in this threatening climate as consumer confidence remains low in the areas that we operate. We have been taking measures to increase profitability and popularity, whist remembering that they are training facilities first and foremost.

Supported Employment Programme

Becoming a Specialist Further Education College

Our most significant development this year has been our move to becoming an Specialist Further Education College – an independent education provider in our own right.

This move has required a great deal of effort and new resources, to both manage the process and begin the initiatives that demonstrate our suitability. Following an inspection visit from the Department for Education, Team Domenica has successfully completed the final stage of the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) HNS Special Post-16 Institutions Due Diligence process.

From September 2023, Team Domenica is operating as an independent Specialist Further Education College.

Team Domenica’s education provision will be inspected by Ofsted under the Education and Inspection Framework.

This transition has encouraged us to re-evaluate the importance of our culture being at the heart of what we do, resulting in a large piece of stakeholder engagement to update our vision and values.

After identifying areas for improvement, we have carefully reworked and introduced a number of new policies and procedures that better reflect our culture and values. These have all been written to suit the focus of our work, putting the young adults we support at the centre.

We have recognised skills gaps in our organisation and our structure, investing

heavily to bring in more experience and expertise into Team Domenica. This will allow us to do our best work and make the greatest impact in our community.

Team Domenica is operating as an independent Specialist Further Education College.

Training centre

Candidates spend one day a week in the classroom working towards their employment, numeracy and literacy qualifications. They learn key skills such as money-handling, communication, and customer service which complements their training across the rest of our programmes.

This year candidates spent 190 hours in the classroom and 100% of first year candidates passed their employment qualifications. Not only does the classroom support a candidate’s learning, but it also improves their social skills.

How have your lessons in the classroom helped you?

Café Domenica

A first year candidate completes over 400 hours of training in our enterprises. Our training cafés and coffee roastery are where candidates have the space, time and support to gain practical and transferable workplace skills. Not only that, but these training enterprises also showcase our candidates’ talents, challenging society’s misconceptions about learning disabilities – something we feel very proud of.

We are always on the look out for new learning and business opportunities that demonstrate the ability of people with learning disabilities, and we have been expanding our catering business. This year, our catering arm delivered over 100 functions or events.

95% of our candidates feel that this training is preparing them for work.

Enrichment

Work experience

Our enrichment programme utilises team-based activities to build a candidate’s softer employability skills such as confidence, wellbeing, resilience and communication. Many candidates find enrichment useful in exploring their passions and building friendships. It’s also a great way for them to connect to their wider community.

With the support of a mentor, candidates participate in three, seven-week placements with our employer partners, based across different industries. This helps candidates to develop their technical abilities and experience, whilst also discovering what roles are right for them.

92% of our candidates feel that their work experience helped them decide what they wanted to do in the future.

In 2022, our enrichment provision moved into its own dedicated space at All Saints Hove. We introduced a host of new activities, such as pottery and martial arts. Our candidates have been able to get outside, spending a day at Blackland Farm and have even helping with plans for our own functioning allotment.

Supported Internship Programme

Candidates build on their learning from year one through a supported internship with one of our partnered employers.

Our Employer Partnerships Manager works to understand a candidate’s interests and ambitions, to help find the right employer and role for them. Each young person is supported by an experienced and dedicated Job Coach who works on-site with both the candidate and the employer to ensure their mutual success. We also support our employers and their wider teams with advice and training about learning disabilities. Meanwhile, our Training Mentors and Teachers continue to offer wellbeing support outside of work. Through regular work reviews and collaboration, a lot of time and energy goes into making things work for the candidate, their families and the employer.

2022-23 has been the biggest ever year for supported internships at Team Domenica, with 20 candidates passing their employment, numeracy and literacy qualifications and 15 have been offered paid work at the time of writing this report, making our employment rate 81%.

We asked our candidates how they felt about their time on this programme. Since opening 94% of candidates felt supported by their employer partner and 100% felt supported 81% by their job coach and their mentor. of candidates have achieved paid employment through this programme 17

Wrap Around Programme

party. In 2022 we introduced a new role to help manage this programme effectively, delivering over 500 1-1s and 28 workplace visits

One of the reasons Team Domenica exists is to remove the cliff edge that many people with learning disabilities face when they finish formal education.

No one in our area offers this level of support. It is because of this commitment to our candidates and employers that over 95% of our candidates retain their position for at least one year. In fact, two thirds of candidates stay in their job for three years or longer.

Just one in four special educational needs students remain in employment a year after their supported internship has ended (FE Week, 2023).

Unlike most supported internship programmes, we continue to offer a high level of support to the candidate and the employer after a job is offered and accepted. In the early stages of employment, our Job Coaches continue to support candidates in work.

We have recently seen some candidates leave our registers. Some young people have moved out of our area, but several others have become wholly independent to the point of no longer needing the involvement of Team Domenica – something to really celebrate! As a result, our Wrap Around Programme this year had 24 candidates actively receiving support, increasing to 39 next year.

Candidates then access 1-1 mentoring and a drop-in service to stay connected with Team Domenica. We are always on hand to navigate any challenges for either the employer or the candidate. This could be help with an appraisal, advocating for a candidate’s needs or supplying extra training for either

Our Day Service provision offers work-based skills and an enrichment programme which provides unique opportunities for young adults with learning disabilities in Brighton and Hove.

Some candidates come to Day Service for a year’s experience before

Through our Day Service provision, in 2022-23 we supported 32 young adults with learning disabilities. When asked how the programme had helped them they said:

Team Domenica is rapidly becoming a significant part of the Brighton & Hove community in a way that reaches beyond employment.

We have appointed our first Chief Operating Officer, Timothy Drew, to join our Senior Leadership Team. He is responsible for the operational running of Team Domenica and, as a qualified Chartered Accountant, his financial acumen is an asset as we establish ourselves as a college.

In May 2023, we welcomed some of our Employer Partners to an evening in our Preston Road café to celebrate and thank them for their commitment. It was an affirming evening not just for our partners, but also for our team.

We were local charity partners at the 2023’s Brighton Marathon Weekend, with over 30 people signing up to raise funds for our work. We’ve had people from all over Sussex, inside and outside the learning disability community, taking on challenges to support us – even as far as Toronto!

Thank you to the Blagrave Trust and the Listening Fund for providing new insight in this area.

We have appointed two new trustees, Jane Smith and Nick Johnson to bring finance and legal experience to our board. Charles Noel retired from the board in January 2024 and the board wish to thank him for his work in helping build Team Domenica. We will be recruiting new Trustees to bolster our Board as we grow, and as of June 2023, all Trustees will serve no more than two three-year terms.

We have re-designed our organisationwide internal evaluation processes so that they are more robust, providing stronger data, and from 2023 onwards we will be able to judge the impact of our programmes and the progress of our candidates more effectively.

Our candidates have delivered awareness-raising events, like our coffee morning in Plus X Innovation, and have worked at numerous community events like Ditchling Ball and Ceilidh.

Alex’s story

Alex, Team Domenica candidate

Alex has always dreamed of getting a job. However, due to his physical and learning disabilities, he felt that the workplace wasn’t accessible to him. He didn’t know where to turn, or how to achieve his potential, but then he joined Team Domenica…

Here, Alex found people who understood him and his needs. He was able to show off his upbeat and sociable nature, whilst also learning new skills in the classroom and on his work placements. His favourite part of the programme was when he got to work in Café Domenica, speaking to customers and working on the coffee machine.

“[I feel really good about ] Team Domenica. I liked working in the café, going to my internship, making coffee and making friends. ”

Alex, Team Domenica candidate

Despite enjoying a variety of roles, Alex found that many positions involved standing or reading for long periods of time – something that he finds difficult. Knowing this, and his love of people, Team Domenica found him work experience weighing and packing stock with the friendly team at Hoogly Tea.

Alex and his colleagues enjoyed working together so much that their partnership transitioned into a supported internship the following year. Then, this September, Alex was offered a paid position within their ranks. He is a fantastic addition to the Hoogly team, attending all their social events, be that playing board games or taking part in their quiz night.

Our next year will be characterised by both consolidation and preparation to make our next big steps beyond Sussex.

In the early stages of the year our Board of Trustees will be determining our latest 3-5 year strategy. Throughout 2023-24 we will be working towards passing our initial monitoring visit from Ofsted. To do so we will be:

Recruiting a new Trustee with post-16 SEND experience

Continuing to improve and introduce new policies and procedures

Encouraging a culture shift that treats our candidates as the young independent adults they are

Enhancing our baseline and on-going evaluation techniques

Alongside this we will continue our work on enhancing Candidate Voice and co-production in the organisation.

Website

In December 2023, we launched a new website that fits the needs of our organisation and better suits the audiences that use it. The central themes driving the design are accessibility and functionality. We will be working with our friends at Grace Eyre to make our website and organisation more accessible through Easy Read literature.

Programme development

Our Wrap Around Programme continues to expand, doubling in size in the last year thanks to so many candidates successfully moving into paid work. As a result, we will also be doubling our provision to help keep pace with the number of alumni needing support in paid work. We are currently working collaboratively with those candidates to design the structure of support they will want and need.

Some of our candidates have been in their roles for over six years and naturally want the opportunity to find new paid work. Our Wrap Around Programme will be expanding to include a job club where alumni candidates can

come together, and with our support, explore new job opportunities.

We will also be introducing employability sessions for Day Service candidates to support with CV writing, applying for jobs and interviews.

We have been extremely conscious of the impact of the cost of living crisis on our staff and we are pleased to say that we now pay a real living wage (at time of writing).

Future plans

Business model

We expect to streamline our café training model and reduce some of our operating costs; as well as increasing the number of weeks in a year that candidates can access our Day Service. To increase income generation opportunities we have launched our first ever fundraising challenge event: Great Lengths. This inclusive, accessible event sees swimmers from across our community, challenging themselves and fundraising at Sea Lanes Brighton – the national open water swimming centre.

Wider influence

As part of a wider three-year evaluation the Department for Education (DfE) has commissioned a feasibility study around the costs of delivering a Supported Internship (SI). We will be taking part in focus group workshops to inform this study and will be engaging with further research. We will also be working with the Tizard Centre of the University of Kent who will be performing an independent evaluation of our impact.

A new centre

Finally, we are formally starting our capital appeal for a new centre in Brighton & Hove – the need for which has been long apparent and outlined in earlier reports. We welcome contact from any interested parties and will be releasing details on request.

Finally, 26% of our income £467,477 (2022: £372,835) was generated through café sales. Post year end, on 1 August 2023, the work of Café Domenica Limited was transferred to Team Domenica and as such from this date all income will be through Team Domenica.

Financial review

The charity continues to grow, and the Trustees are pleased at how the business is developing and maturing. Our increased spend, and subsequent deficit have arisen from a deliberate effort to make the charity’s operations more systematic and sustainable. Much of this was in preparation for becoming a Specialist Post 16 Institution (SPI), regulated by OFSTED, which required a lot of new work on systems and policies. We are proud that we became a standalone SPI in time for the new school year in September 2023.

resulting in a deficit of

£171,809 (2022 surplus £165,493)

Fundraising

The support we receive through fundraising provides a vital income source to the charity, enabling us to make a transformational difference to the lives of young people with learning disabilities. Team Domenica conducts its own fundraising activities without the involvement of a commercial fundraiser.

We are a people-based business and payroll will always constitute our major cost. We have been affected by the tight local labour market, but have managed to provide all services and fill all posts. We have also seen food and drink costs rise in our training cafés. Overall, due to the extra costs outlined above, we budgeted for a deficit and the Trustees are pleased that the deficit was lower than planned and that our strategic goal for the year was achieved.

Team Domenica is respectful in any approach for donation and does not place any pressure on a person or persons to donate money or property. Team Domenica has received no complaints about any fundraising activities and respects the privacy and details of donors in accordance with UK GDPR.

In the short term, we plan to continue to develop the business and build strong institutional foundations, investing in growth to facilitate the long-term success of the organisation.

Income

Public benefit

Team Domenica raised a total of £625,787 (2022: £550,578) through fundraising activities accounting for 35% of total income in the period.

The Board has ongoing regard for the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity’s activities and future plans.

38% of our income £692,257 came from statutory sources (2022: £765,833)

Team Domenica continues to make a significant impact in the education and work prospects of our beneficiaries. We regularly measure our impact via beneficiary surveys and employer partner feedback.

Reserves

At 31 July 2023, the total funds held by Team Domenica were £1,312,389 (2022 – £1,484,198) of which £102,311 (2022 – £108,691) were restricted funds.

At the balance sheet date, the charitable group’s free reserves were £1,115,275 (2022 £1,342,589).

The Trustees determine the level of reserves needed by:

forecasting the level of income anticipated over the short and medium term

forecasting the level of expenditure in the short-to-medium term, based on planned activities

analysing future needs, opportunities, contingencies, or risks which cannot be met out of income, including an assessment of the likelihood of those needs arising, and the potential consequences of the charity not being able to meet them.

The Board aims to hold six months of forecast operating costs.

Based on the 2023/24 budget, this is estimated to be £950,000. The current free reserves of the charity are slightly above this.

Excess free reserves have been built through unrestricted fundraising activity. In the current financial year (2023-24), a significant amount of these excess funds will be designated with the express purpose of the acquisition and refurbishment of a new centre, including the associated professional fees.

Risk management

The Trustees have a detailed Risk Register showing the significant risks to the charity. Each significant risk has been carefully considered with controls put in place to mitigate the risk and contingency plans set out. The register is reviewed and updated at each board meeting.

Trustees’ responsibilities

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

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Team Domenica for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial

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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

Small company special provisions

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 report of the directors has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption in the Companies Act 2006.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

This report was approved by the Board on 26/3/24.

there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditor is unaware; and

Independent Auditor’s Report[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Team Domenica

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members and Trustees of Team Domenica

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Team Domenica (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 July 2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, consolidated statement of financial position, charity statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and parent charitable company’s affairs as at 31 July 2023, and of the group’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;

have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

the information given in the Trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

the directors’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

the parent charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 29, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of

company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the group and parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Team Domenica[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Independent Auditor’s Report

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members and Trustees of Team Domenica (continued)

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Discussion with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;

Review of minutes of Trustees’ meetings for discussion of instances of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations;

Review of legal expenses for evidences of fees related to non-compliance;

Review of journal entries for indicators of fraud; and

Substantive testing of income, including consideration of recognition in according with grant conditions.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the FRC’s website at:

www.frc.org.uk/auditors/auditassurance/auditor-s-responsibilitiesfor-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-of-theauditor%E2%80%99s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and its Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Team Domenica

Team Domenica[|] Annual Report 2023[|] Notes to the Financial Statements

Notes to the Financial Statements Year ended 31 July 2023

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

Team Domenica is a private limited by guarantee charitable company registered in England and Wales. The registered office of the charity is 5-7 Preston Road, Brighton, East Sussex BN1 4QE. The nature of the charitable group’s operations and principal activities are the provision of employment training for young people with learning disabilities and the operation of cafés to provide a training environment.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling and rounded to the nearest £1.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.

These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the charitable company and its group undertaking. These are adjusted, where appropriate, to conform to group accounting policies. As a consolidated group statement of financial activities is published, a separate income and expenditure account for the parent company is omitted from the group financial statements by virtue of section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

1.3 Going concern

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties regarding Team Domenica’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

1.4 Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the group for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.5 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Donations and legacies

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

Income from fundraising events includes monies raised from various events throughout the year. This income is included in the accounts when the charity becomes aware of its entitlement to this income.

Charitable activities

Income from service contracts is recognised at the point the service takes place.

Ancillary trading income includes the income raised through the group’s cafés. This is considered to be primary purpose trading, as the cafés are staffed by Training Centre candidates and provides them with hands-on experience in many areas. The café income is generally

received by cash or card and this is recognised when received.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/ (expenditure) for the year.

1.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.

1.8 Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

Expenditure on raising funds is that incurred in seeking voluntary income.

Expenditure on charitable activities includes costs incurred to operate the training programmes and the cafés, along with associated support costs.

1.9 Stocks

Stocks are consistently valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to sell. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

Support costs, such as general management, governance and financial management, are allocated across the categories of charitable activities and costs of raising funds. The basis of the cost allocation is explained in the notes.

1.10 Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the statement of financial position when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially

measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

----- Start of picture text -----
Leasehold property improvements 10 years straight line
Plant and machinery 4 years straight line
Fixtures and equipment 5 years straight line
Computers 4 years straight line
----- End of picture text -----

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include

trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade

and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

The trading subsidiary is liable to corporation tax. Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated statement of financial activities. Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Leases

Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

2. Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The group has no areas of critical accounting estimates and judgements.

The charge to the consolidated statement of financial activities in respect of defined contribution schemes was £33,468 (2022: £27,604).
