Trustees Annual Report

Structure, governance and management

Spoons is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Registration Number 1167043. The governing document of Spoons is a constitution dated 11 May 2016, amended on 10 January 2022.

Trustees are appointed for a three-year period by resolution passed at a Trustee meeting. Trustees meet at least three times per year.

Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit

The objectives of the charity are to relieve the needs of parents and families of babies who experience neonatal care in Greater Manchester by the provision of support and information, and to advance awareness and education of neonatal care, and its implications for families, to health professionals and the general public.

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the period.

Review of Activities and Achievements

A message from our chair, Sarah Moxon

Spoons is committed to serving the neonatal community of Greater Manchester and this year we have expanded our services across the locality , setting up more community support groups in a bid to reach and connect with families new to us. We have continued to support families from marginalised groups and are seeing increased engagement from within our diverse communities.

While our direct support services for neonatal families will always be a focus, at Spoons, we absolutely recognise the importance of our work to influence NHS policy and provision to effect positive change. We are proud to have played a key role in the roll out of the NHS’ Family Integrated Care model across the North-West. It is clinically proven that there are better outcomes for babies when parents and families are directly involved in their medical care and the Family Integrated Care model puts parents and families absolutely at the heart of the medical team caring for a neonatal baby. We have been working closely with Greater Manchester’s neonatal unity to ensure they achieve the standards required for their Family Integrated Care accreditations.

The cost of living crisis, has, however, brought real, practical challenges for Family Integrated Care. The costs of having a baby on a neonatal unit are high and there is no doubt that extended hospital stays do negatively impact family incomes. It is nothing short of heart-breaking to know that the current cost of travel is stopping parents being able to be with their baby at such a critical time and we are supporting more families with covering these, and other essential costs, while their baby is in hospital.

The recent MBRRACE “State of the Nation” report highlights that inequalities and variation in the rate of stillbirth and neonatal deaths remain. Babies of black ethnicity have the highest rate of still born and neonatal deaths and those of Asian ethnicity remain higher than for babies of white ethnicity. Our communities are built upon a diverse background, and we are actively engaging with our families to build upon these relationships through our dedicated BAME family support coordinator.

An added challenge we have had to navigate this year is we are now starting to see the true impact of the pandemic. Parents who had a baby on a neonatal unit during this time had to manage all the ‘usual’ stresses that come with having a neonatal baby, but with the added fear Covid-19 brought and the additional isolation of stringent hospital visiting restrictions. We are encouraged that parents are referring themselves to our trauma therapy service, flagging they need support and feel unable to cope with the lengthy NHS waiting time. This has put the trauma service under strain, however, we know the positive impact it has.

3

In such a testing climate, it feels as though our charity has never been needed more and, this year, we set aside dedicated time to work with our various stakeholders to develop a theory of change model. This model has helped us clarify our vision and mission and identify key areas for improvement. Evaluation has always proved a challenge for the holistic and highly personalised services that Spoons offers, however, as part of this work we have also developed an evaluation framework that will help us evidence we are achieving our core outcomes. Alongside the individual, qualitative case studies this will hopefully, support us to achieve the increased confidence of funders.

As the landscape changes, the thing that does not is our charities commitment toto supporting families who experience neonatal care in Greater Manchester. We strive to ensure our families have access to support when they need it the most. Our team, of staff and volunteers, continue to provide a dedicated and accessible service in these very challenging times. And, finally, but perhaps most importantly, on behalf of everyone at Spoons, I would like to offer heartfelt thanks to all the individuals, businesses and organisations that have chosen to support us with donations over the past 12 months. Thank you for recognising the critical work we do.

Current position and future plans

Spoons is the only charity in Greater Manchester dedicated to supporting families who experience neonatal care. Our charity has never been needed more and, therefore, sustainability remains the number one focus for our board of trustees.

Over the last year we have seen a drop in our income, however this was expected and accounted for given that we had drawn down on pots of funding specifically associated with Covid support which are now no longer available.

In October 2022 we were awarded a first multi-year grant from the National Lottery Reaching Communities to fund our some of our core costs and develop our plans to ensure Spoons’ sustainability. This multi-year funding has secured some of our staff posts for three years. We are now working with an experienced fundraiser who will help us maximise both individual and community giving. We have a warm community of supporters and the implementation of systems and processes and approved fundraising techniques will help us grow our income. We are also continuing to seek other multi-year funding pots to secure staff positions.

We will continue to create more volunteer opportunities for parents with lived experience of neonatal care and continue to invest in training and developmental opportunities – this remains Spoons’ core offer.

We will continue to work in partnership with NHS trusts, perinatal and parent infant mental health and other statutory organisations to ensure our families receive the best support available and that their voices are included in the development of neonatal services. We will also continue to work with voluntary groups and organisations to support the VCSE sector across Greater Manchester.

Financial review

During the year our income was £103,465 this was a decrease of £158,020 from the prior year. This decrease was due to a reduction in restricted grant income. This income was for non-recurrent funding opportunities that we were able to utilise at that time and we expected to see a decrease. Donations and gifts are on a par with the previous year.

Looking ahead, we are planning for a reduction in our annual income and expenditure budget to levels more akin to 2019/20

Subsequently our expenditure decreased by £50,132 from the prior year with overall expenditure totalling £202,251. The majority of this reduction was in administration costs and charitable expenditure on restricted funds.

This means that the total funds at the end of the year were £47,957 comprising of £26,447 of unrestricted funds and £21,510 restricted funds. Restricted funds will be spent over the following 12 months as per the grant agreements.

5

Reserves Policy

Our Reserves are important to ensuring continued operations to our beneficiaries and to meet the objectives set out in our current strategy. In order to do this the board has agreed to hold an amount of unrestricted Reserves to cover obligations to staff and our contracted suppliers.

As at the end of the financial year Spoons held £26,447 in unrestricted funds.

The Reserves of the charity are currently treated as liabilities to cover in the event of Spoons ceasing operations. This figure has been calculated at £7,567 and is a mixture of one month’s staffing and other contractual services received. As at 30 April 2023 Spoons had met this obligation and held it in the bank current account. In the event of the unrestricted funds being lower than the agreed value, plans will be made to bring it back in line.

A full review of the reserves policy will be made during the budgeting process for 2023/24 to ensure the policy remains reflective of the changing demands of the charity.

Notes to the accounts

Note 1: Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)),the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2016.

The charity has applied the exemption available to small charities in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and does not include a Statement of Cash Flows in these Financial Statements.

Spoons meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting notes.

b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be reliably measured.

Income for government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received the account can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Donations are recognised when the charity receives the funds.

11

d) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are funds which the donor has specified are solely to be used for particular activities.

e) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

f) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be recognised reliability.

All expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT.

g) Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

h) Operating Leases

The charity currently has no operating leases.

i) Tangible Fixed Assets

Individual assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated evenly over their estimated useful economic lives, as follows:

Equipment

25% straight-line

j) Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

12

j) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probable result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provision re normally recognised at their settle met amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

k) Corporation Tax

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.

l) Key estimates and accounting judgements

In applying the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Trustees’ judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made, and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates ad assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ.

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