SECOND TIME AROUND CHARITIES

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 31 March 2021.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's constitution and the Charities Act 2011.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Second Time Around Charities is constituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation registered with the Charity Commission on the 19 May 2016 under charity number 1167212. It is governed by Constitution.

Organisational Structure

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity, The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits.

The trustees meet together as a body and are responsible for all decisions taken to its running and the activities and facilities provided by the charity.

To assist in the day to day smooth running of our facility Second Time Around the trustees have set up a small sub committee to oversee management of the building and facilities and to report back to the full meetings of the trustees.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of the new trustees but in so doing the trustees seek the views and recommendations of other friends. The trustees believe this approach ensures that any new trustees are respected members of the community.

In selecting new trustees, we seek to identify people who regularly attend events and functions of the charity. This process allows due consideration of the persons eligibility, personal competence, special knowledge and skills.

Induction and Training of Trustees

Following appointment, new trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the constitution and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by our charity. A number of publications from the Charity Commission are also provided including on charities and the public benefit. This ensures that new trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act. Initially new trustees work with existing trustees assisting on the various projects run by the charity.

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

Risk Management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks. We have drawn up a risk matrix which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks happening and the measures taken to manage them. The trustees and sub-committee review this matrix regularly. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to manage the risks that have been identified. In particular insurance cover is in place and the finances of Second Time Around Charities are kept under review. Appropriate Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, supported by regularly reviewed policies, are made for all those that work with children and other vulnerable groups.

Achievements and Performance

Over the last year during the COVID Pandemic the majority of our efforts have been to the continued support of Second Time Around our Furniture Restoration Project based in Banbury. We had to cease trading with our in house coffee shop during lockdown, and have decided not to reinstate this for the foreseeable future.

Our staff were able to access the Government Furlough Scheme and contributions from both County Council and Local Government enabled us to continue to trade during the periods left available.

Because of this the project has remained self-financing and continues to support and benefit both the social inclusion and independence for those with disabilities. Our community has benefited by being able to have more options with recycling and are building stronger social links and equality.

Financial Review

Principal funding sources

The charities main source of income is by Second Time Around revenue, donations, from the holding of charitable functions and any grants that are obtained from interested parties.

Reserves Policy

The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. Their policy is to hold enough funds to meet One quarters operating costs of Second Time Around and any small grants.

Investment Policy and Objectives

The charity has no long-term investments, and our reserves are held in Cash and Current Account.

Plans for the Future Periods

We have plans to ensure wider community inclusion and reach out to our partners: schools, employment specialists, local companies and charities. The project is very community focused and for us social inclusion is paramount. We provide this in many different ways:

The shop is the perfect way to showcase the projects undertaken by the service users and for the community to have the opportunity to purchase, commission or donate items.

Social networking, is a valuable way of gaining a new and wider audience and receiving direct Feedback. We advertise, communicate and regularly update information about the project. Local markets- Another valuable way of accessing the community and to build upon promoting Second Time Around. With the people we support and their desire to grow, we are looking at the possibilities of expanding, and have visited other model projects

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
