TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and performance

The following brief summary of our work during the year highlights the number of enquiries, contacts, attendances and so on. Our aim is always to respond to the individual and their unique circumstances, taking a person-centred approach in all we do.

The year was difficult for all of society but particularly older people, who were one of the groups most vulnerable to Covid and also, in many cases, had their lines of communication and support suddenly withdrawn. By providing information, social connection opportunities, in revised ways during the pandemic, and offering practical support we strive to improve or maintain a standard of life for local older people in ways which best meet individual needs.

Reliable and timely information is required in order to make informed choices and during the year the Information Services, including welfare assistance, provided support and guidance with over 11,000 enquiries. We estimate that we helped older people claim more than £1.4 million in welfare benefits, supporting access to services, reducing poverty and also supporting the local economy.

Our Visiting Support Service supported a total of 365 open cases at any one time during the year and received 378 new referrals, helping older people who found themselves in unexpected and difficult situations to access longer term support and solutions. The Girton Older Residents’ Co-ordinator has continued to make connections with local older people supporting those who needed help to access assistance during the pandemic, a temporary shift in focus from planning events, information sessions and social connecting.

Providing the opportunity for social contacts and activities the day centres saw less attendances due to having to suspend sessions, however 70 service users received weekly phone calls and Covid Secure doorstep visits and encouragement to do light exercise to reduce the risk to physical and mental health.

The Friendship Clubs were also suspended but the connection meant that community support and recognition of need was already established so a great number of welfare and friendship calls took place.

Community Wardens provided daily contact and help with small tasks and the number of schemes rose from 13 to 19 during the year. These provided regular, often daily help to an average of 207 older people in their own homes. Over 500 volunteers supported older people through our Sharing Time service, Covid Telephone Befriending and essential shopping and prescription deliveries.

The Homes Cleaning Service was suspended for a period due to the pandemic restrictions, however 10,003 hours of service were still delivered to 315 households.

AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Our Cambridgeshire Handyperson Service and Home Checks, in Peterborough, provided support to 1044 households, which includes 116 individuals supported to be safely discharged from hospital with practical measures such as the installation of key safes. 29 households have benefited from Home Energy Checks.

In the second year of our Winter Pressures/Hospital Discharge Admission Avoidance service almost 400 older people recently discharged from hospital, received around 3,300 hours of direct support.

The pandemic continues to put restrictions on the delivery of services and we maintain strict Covid Secure processes to protect older people, their carers and our staff and volunteers. The complexity of support provided is exacerbated by the Coronavirus and we will continue to shape and adapt our services to ensure older people have access to the help they need.

We work hard to ensure that older people know who we are, what we do and how to get in touch. Much of our media participation was focussed again on accessing help and guidance during the pandemic. With that in mind we carried out 13 talks and presentations, and took part in 23 radio and 4 TV interviews and increased our presence on Facebook and Twitter to 2,952 followers. Our average reach on social media is around 28,404 per month. We continually review our marketing materials and website content.

Our campaigns during the year aimed to primarily promote wellbeing and health and reduce isolation and loneliness, whilst also raising awareness of the support services we offer. Campaigns highlighted the importance of completing the Census, reducing and awareness preventing scams, plus focusing on health and wellbeing, volunteering, fundraising and access to services and support.

In the coming year we will continue to focus our efforts on working with older people to shape and provide support and services, which make a real and positive difference to the lives of individuals and communities. We will also focus on how digital technology can reduce isolation and encourage individuals to remain part of their local communities.

Age UKCAP is a very successful organisation. The charitable work which we carry out is very varied and necessary steps are taken to ensure these are always meeting the changing needs of older people and their families and carers.

Financial review

The accounts for Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough have been prepared in line with the relevant regulations and guidance (as set out in note 1.1 to the accounts).

Total group incoming resources of Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for the year were £2,319,604. Total incoming resources consisted of £672,390 unrestricted funds, £7,235 designated funds and £1,639,979 restricted funds.

Total group resources expended before reallocation of support costs were £1,904,385 of which £299,789 was unrestricted funds, £9,763 designated funds and £1,594,833 was restricted funds.

A gain on revaluation of investments of £10,029 was recorded in the year.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised or costs reduced. Based on the current level of expenditure this would require unrestricted reserves to be in the range of £476,000 to £952,000. The current level of unrestricted funds at £826,778 is within the range set by the policy. In addition to the unrestricted funds there are restricted funds that were previously unrestricted in the former charities but are now restricted by geographical area following the merger. The Trustees recognise the external uncertainties that still exist for the Charity and its service users following the pandemic and consider that the current level of unrestricted reserves provides both a strong base for the Charity, as it begins to rebuild and recommence its services and activities, and provides opportunities for positive developments within the charity’s structure and offerings.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees, who are also the directors of Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity 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:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the 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 FRS 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:

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's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve 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 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 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.

AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees , who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 directors 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 charity’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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http s :// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF AGE UK CAMBRIDGESHIRE AND PETERBOROUGH

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

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 noncompliance. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity’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 charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough is a charitable incorporated organisation registered on 3 March 2016 in England and Wales. The principal address is South Fens Business Centre, Fenton Way, Chatteris PE16 6TT.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. In arriving at this conclusion the trustees have considered the impact of the coronavirus and, whilst the full impact remains uncertain, they believe that all appropriate steps have been taken to ensure the future viability of the charity.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 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.

D onations are recognised on receipt. 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.

Grants are recognised once the charity has been notified of the grant unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is included on an accruals basis. Expenditure includes irrecoverable VAT. Resources expended on charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services.

1.6 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.

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:

Freehold land and buildings Over 50 years on a straight line basis on buildings Leasehold land and buildings Over 25 years on a straight line basis Office equipment Over 3 years on a straight line basis

No depreciation has been charged on the freehold buildings in the year due to significant periodic maintenance and net realisable value is considered to be at least equal to net book value.

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.

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year . Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ) .

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors 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 creditors 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 p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

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.

1.12 Retirement benefits

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

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’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.

Some restricted donations are received in respect of the invoiced services included within unrestricted funds, and therefore part of the overall income and expenditure for those activities appears in the restricted funds note and part in the unrestricted funds. Any subsidy by the charity for these activities, is treated as restricted expenditure against those restricted funds, and then allocated via transfer against the Peterborough and Cambridgeshire general restricted funds, or another restricted fund that can be used against that activity.

The Peterborough and Cambridgeshire general restricted funds relate to unrestricted funds held by predecessor charities, but have been received by this charity restricted to the geographical area represented by the original charity. The transfers represent the use of these funds to cover deficits on other restricted funds within those geographical areas.

Included in the overall transfer between restricted funds and unrestricted funds is an amount of support costs initially included in unrestricted expenditure that has been allocated against the Peterborough and Cambridge general restricted funds. There was also a balance on the I & A funds and Visiting Support Service for Older People Fund at the end of the project which has been released to unrestricted funds on the basis that all requirements that came with the funding have been dealt with and therefore the restrictions no longer apply.

The funds relate to the following activities:

23 Related party transactions

(Continued)

Owing to the charity's board of trustees being involved in local public and private sector organisations, it is inevitable that transactions will take place with organisations in which a member of the board of trustees may have an interest. The board of trustees includes a councillor of Peterborough City Council. Transactions involving Peterborough City Council are conducted at arm's length and in accordance with the charity's normal procurement procedures. The individual trustees have no beneficial interest in the arrangement.

Included in creditors is a loan of £8,000 (2020: £10,000) due to Michael Bond, a trustee.

No individual has a controlling interest in Age UK Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
