2
WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2023
-
Sensory loss awareness, lip-reading and (non-examined) British Sign Language training
-
Not for profit room hire for organisations working in the field of sensory loss; and
-
A permanent base and recording studio for Stockport Talking Newspaper Association; and courses and services in partnership with other organisations.
Walthew House relies on the support of over 80 trained volunteers who support the charity in a wide range of ways including: staffing the resource centre and information help desk, co-ordinating groups and activities, providing refreshments, assisting with communication support for British Sign Language users, acting as sighted guides for people with sight loss, and helping with fundraising.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
During 2022/3 Walthew House provided one or more kind of support to over 400 individuals every week, with a total of more than 600 attendances or interventions. This included:
-
An average of over 200 attendances at the centre and community based social and sporting groups and activities. Around 175 people regularly joined weekly, fortnightly or monthly sessions, all of which are tailored to the support needs of each client group. Activities are fully inclusive for people who might struggle to attend mainstream groups because of their sight or hearing loss, providing entertainment, information and peer support. The youngest member of youth club is five and our oldest member, who comes Deaf Club is 90. 14 new people started to attend regularly in 2022/3 and our longest standing member has been coming for over 50 years.
-
Providing information in different ways, most often face to face, (including Facetime for Deaf sign language users), but also through Braille, large print, audio and simplified English formats so that people with sight or hearing loss can have equity of access to health and social care support and up to date information on other services and support. Barriers to communication include digital exclusion, inaccessible websites, lack of information in accessible formats and lack of understanding of the need for information in the service user’s preferred format. Over 125 individuals have been supported on average each week through the provision of accessible information and Walthew House has worked regularly with other organisations to effect change, including Stockport Council Sensory Service, Stepping Hill Hospital and Stockport Healthwatch, as well as healthcare providers in the community and care homes, schools, other voluntary organisations and local businesses
-
Independent advocacy services for British Sign Language users, supporting an average of eight people each week with an average number of three interventions for each person. An out-ofhours service has been piloted this year for people who work office hours.
-
60 people accessing equipment and technology support through the not-for-profit resource centre, Technology Support Group and Tech one-to-one. We reach over 4,000 people each week through our social media channels
-
80 people accessing other services, including specialist sight loss counselling; information and other events; and British Sign Language, lipreading and sensory loss awareness training, and one to one support through ‘check in and chat calls’. Walthew House has partnered with other voluntary agencies to help distribute grants to individuals through the council’s Household Support Fund.
Raising awareness of the needs of people with sensory loss continues to be an important part of the work of the charity, ensuring lasting relationships are maintained with local communities, reaching more people directly and supporting early intervention. This is achieved through:
3
WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2023
-
Talks and presentations to local companies and organisations as diverse as Wigan Athletic Rugby Club and Poynton High School, as well as community groups, local philanthropic organisations and care homes.
-
Attendance at more community events – including the local Rotary Club Duck Race where the Walthew House Steel Band performed
-
A blind/blindfold 10 pin bowling competition involved 17 teams drawn from local companies and community groups and Walthew House’s own bowling team helped to raise awareness of the challenges of sight loss
-
Working collaboratively with other organisations, including: Stockport Council Community Champions – promoting public health information messages; Healthwatch Stockport – identifying gaps in service, promoting accessibility and supporting complaints made by people with sensory loss; and participation in the Children’s Hearing and Vision Services Working Group with – Stockport Council’s Sensory Education Service, Seashell Trust, Stepping Hill Hospital and the wider voluntary sector – encouraging information sharing and good practice.
Walthew House, as a specialist charity, focuses on provision for people and sight loss, but is also part of the wider community, taking part in the local ‘Safe Spaces’ and ‘Warm Spaces’ initiatives, welcoming local people into Walthew House, as well as providing low-cost room hire for local groups.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Overview
Income decreased from £388k in 2022 to £277k in 2023. This reflects the unpredictable pattern of shortterm grant support and donation and legacy income.
Principal funding sources
Walthew House was funded principally through charitable grants:
Charitable activities (including grants from trusts) – 24% Donations/memberships/subscriptions/revenue grants/legacies – 65% Income generation (room hire/resource centre) – 9% Investment income – 2%
Investment policy and review
The trustees shall retain sufficient funds on deposit to satisfy short term (next 10 months) needs. The trustees shall take investment advice from an appropriate qualified and experienced investment adviser. The trustees have considered their attitude to risk and have chosen a risk level of 3-4 (*see below for definition) on a scale of 1 –10 where 1 is secure and 10 is aggressive. The trustees will avoid any investments that conflict with the aim of the charity. Any underperformance is accepted by the trustees. The charity will only invest in markets that are closely regulated and compensation schemes are in place; will have a suitably diversified investment portfolio and be particularly wary of making speculative investments. The trustees to decide what yearly income they wish their investment to produce. The trustees review the charities investments at least every 6 months.
Walthew House recognises its responsibility to comply with all relevant legislation. Trustees will regularly review policies in the light of changes to legislation and amend the charity’s practices accordingly.
4
WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 TRUSTEES’ AND DIRECTORS’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2023
*Definition of 3-4 - A level of risk in an investment in which the return should be better than that available from a high street deposit account but where the value of the investment will fall as well as rise. The investor would feel uncomfortable if the investments were likely to rise and fall in value rapidly.
Reserves
The Charity aims to hold up to twelve months expenditure in free reserves (unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets or otherwise designated) because of the uncertainty over income in future periods. The charity’s free reserves at the year-end were £296,096. The core budget for 2023/24 is for £300,000 of expenditure, leaving a free reserves of just under 12 months.
FUTURE PLANS
Looking ahead, Walthew House is continuing to focus on projects which will facilitate early intervention, outreach and improving accessibility. Walthew House will continue to promote its ‘no wrong door’ approach to ensuring access to the full range of support provided by Walthew House, facilitating a coordinated service which is comprehensive, dynamic, and actively inclusive, in line with the charity’s core values:
-
Responsive:
-
Providing a ‘safety net’ of accessible information and advocacy support, helping to prevent challenges becoming crises
-
Responding flexibly to evolving need
-
Effective:
-
Early intervention - including support for children and young people and their families through regular social opportunities and accessible information and advocacy support, and through continued partnership with other local service providers, and in particular healthcare providers
-
Outreach - including sight and hearing loss awareness training, and, following the charity’s comprehensive equity, diversity and inclusivity review, a more targeted approach to difficult to reach groups and individuals, and an approach that doesn’t marginalise others
-
Supportive:
-
Ongoing support to empower people, and sustain initiatives and groups both at the centre and in the community
-
One-to-one support – including ‘check in and chat’ and other befriending services, specialist sight loss counselling and specialist advocacy services for British Sign Language users
-
Trusted:
-
Understanding that the quality of the service provided must be exemplary in order to maintain the charity’s reputation as a ‘one stop shop’ for anyone needing specialist help with sight or hearing loss
-
Being recognised both locally and across Greater Manchester as a reliable source of trusted information on sensory loss.
-
Publishing annual impact reports which transparently demonstrate the impact of our services and how funds have been effectively utilised.
To underpin this work, ensuring the continuity and consistency of support has been key over the long history of Walthew House. The Charity continues to strengthen governance practices and ensure both paid and voluntary staff members are supported to develop in their roles to maintain/improve its performance.

WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2023
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items, which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared: under the historic cost convention; in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) effective January 1 2019 (second edition – October 2019); FRS102; and the Companies Act 2006. The accounts are prepared in £ sterling, which is the functional currency.
All the activities, income, expenditure, net assets and funds included in these accounts are those of the linked charity Walthew House and in accordance with the Charity SoRP one set of accounts is presented including the activities and funds of the linked charity.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
Income
Total Incoming Resources as shown in the Statement of Financial Activities represents the net amounts from all sources.
Income is recognised in the accounting period in which it is receivable, except in the following circumstances, when the income is deferred and included in creditors:
-
The income relates to a future accounting period
-
A sales invoice has been raised ahead of the work being carried out and the charity is not contractually entitled to the income until the work has been done
-
Not all the terms and conditions of the grant have been met, including the incurring of expenditure and the grant conditions are such that unspent grant must be refunded.
Income includes grants in respect of revenue and capital items.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following applies to particular types of income:
Grants , whether of a capital or revenue nature, are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions have been met and it is probable that the income will be received.
General donations from individuals and other bodies (not being of the nature of a grant) are recognised when receivable.
Deferred income
Income is only deferred and included in creditors when:
-
The income relates to a future accounting period
-
A sales invoice has been raised ahead of the work being carried out and there is no contractual entitlement to the income until the work has been done
-
Not all the terms and conditions of the grant have been met, including the incurring of expenditure and the grant conditions are such that unspent grant must be refunded
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
Costs of raising funds
including those associated with fundraising activities and investment management cost.
Charitable activities costs of undertaking the work of the charity.
The charity is not registered for VAT and cannot recover any input tax charged. Costs are stated inclusive of VAT were charged.
11
WALTHEW HOUSE 2017 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED MARCH 31 2023
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Pension Fund
The charity makes employer's contributions of 5% of gross pay to the individual pension funds of employees, provided these are matched by 5% of gross pay contributions by the employees. These are all money purchase schemes.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Single asset purchases, not forming part of a related serious of transactions, costing less than £1,000 are not capitalised, but are written off as a revenue expense in the year of acquisition. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:
Buildings - 1% Fixtures - 6.67% or 10% Equipment - 20% Furniture - 10% Restricted project assets - over the life of the project
Investments, gains and losses
Fixed asset investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recorded at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The SoFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and on disposals throughout the year.
The investments are identified within the portfolio as specific holdings of shares, unit trusts and bonds (as well as cash). However Pennine Wealth Solutions (with who the portfolio is invested) makes trading decisions for a range of clients and the sales and purchases attributable to the charity are part of much larger transactions. Subsequently there are many more sales and disposals than would normally be expected for this size of holding and the trustees do not consider it to be practical or cost effective to calculate the individual realised gains and losses on transactions, or the carrying cost of disposals. Therefore disposals are shown at net sale proceeds rather than at carrying value.
The net gain or loss on valuation is calculated on the difference between the opening market value as adjusted for disposals at net proceed value and additions at cost compared to the closing market value. The resulting gain or loss is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year.
Stocks
Stocks of goods for resale are valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value. The cost of handicraft goods made by members for resale and held at the balance sheet date are not included in the balance sheet.
Financial instruments
The charity has only basic financial instruments which are initially recorded at cost, and with the exception of investments (as set out above) subsequently measured at their settlement value.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Cashflow Statement
Advantage is taken of the exemptions allowed in the SoRP for small charities not to prepare a cashflow statement.

18 TAXATION
The company is a registered charity and is entitled to claim annual exemption from UK Corporation Tax.
19 CAPITAL COMMITMENTS
There were no capital commitments authorised and contracted for at the end of the year (2022 £Nil).
20 PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT
In the 2021/22 accounts the total value of investments was overstated by £25,396 due to human error. The cash element of the investment portfolio was double counted. This led to the overstatment of the net gain on the value of investments and therefore the overstatement of profits and reserves. Below is the effect of the error/misstatement on note 12 to the accounts.
