## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2023**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Background**
Malachi Trust was founded in 1992 to offer support and give advocacy to children affected by family breakdown and the Trustees remain committed and dedicated not only to working on behalf of its clients, but also to continuing to build on its reputation of being at the forefront of innovation and service improvement.
The founders of the Trust Gordon and Lyn Lee, having learned from their community work background that in a growing number of schools there were growing numbers of children whose life chances were being affected by a disturbed family experience, committed themselves to acting on their behalf. The Trustees continue to uphold that commitment and dedication.
## **Objectives**
The objects of the charity are
1. The relief of children and young people who are suffering from conditions of poverty, deprivation, hardship and distress, particularly but not exclusively through the provision of workshops, counselling, information, teaching and advice and to provide support services to their families as the Trustees think fit
2. To advance and promote the spiritual and moral development of children and young people an development of family life values and to stimulate public awareness in the areas of social concern particularly using teachings, drama, music and the performing arts
## **Public benefit**
The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission including public benefit guidance.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Significant activities and Charitable Activities**
I am pleased to be able to report continued positive progress in this, the thirty-first year of the life of Malachi Community Trust.
We are pleased that our vision for multi-agency partnership working is now being promoted by central government. As in previous years, our multi-agency HUB model continues to be recognised as visionary and highly relevant to both central and local government strategy.
In this reporting period, services and activities from our first Community Hub, 'Billesley ARK' have continued to grow and develop. In line with our commitment to 'helping users of service to become providers of service', I am pleased to be able to report the continued growth and development of our volunteer workforce which is staffed entirely by local people.
Our representation on the Lords & Commons Family & Child Protection Group led to us being invited to present our work and achievements to a panel of MP's & Lords in the House of Commons. The task of the LCFCPG was to look into the underlying causes of youth involvement in knife crime and to make recommendations. Our work confirmed that in almost all cases, both victims and perpetrators shared an unstable childhood family experience.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Trust currently holds reserves of £541,194 comprising restricted fund reserves of £186,227 and general funds of £354,967. Of these general funds, £70,376 is currently invested in fixed assets, leaving free reserves of £284,591.
These funds will be utilised to invest wherever necessary to protect and develop services. Consideration will be given to use funds to carry out feasibility studies and research in circumstances where the Trustees are unable to secure funds from other sources either grant aid or loan.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
MCT CIO remains committed to developing its vision and continues to seek further opportunities to develop the model in schools and communities in our reach area.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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 charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

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.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Malachi Community Trust**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Malachi Community Trust (the 'charity') for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 5 April 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of 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 Auditors' 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 15 to the financial statements, 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

## **Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Malachi Community Trust**
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which 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 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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
We have been appointed as auditors 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 included audit 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 such irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the charity and the sector in which it operates, and considered the risk of acts by the charity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. We designed audit procedures to respond to these risks, recognising that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
We focussed on laws and regulations which could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Charities Act 2011 and relevant UK tax legislation. Our tests included agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, enquiries with management, trustees and enquiries of third parties, where appropriate.
As in all our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and checking the authorisation of expenditure as part of our substantive testing, using analytical review to identify any significant or unusual transactions and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the trustees that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and, the further removed noncompliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

## **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.

**Malachi Community Trust**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 5 April 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
The charity receives grants in respect of its direct charitable activities. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.
Contractual income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as bank deposits and property. It includes interest and rent. Interest income is recognised on receipt and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes staff costs, premises and depreciation costs directly attributable to the furtherance of the charities objects.
Support costs include all other indirect costs, incurred in the management and administration of the charity in pursuing its charitable objectives. Also included in support costs are governance costs, being those costs attributable to the administration of the charity as a whole.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - Straight line over 25 years Plant and machinery - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost
Page 10
**Malachi Community Trust**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 5 April 2023**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual assets or groups of assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised unless the expected useful life is less than two years.
## **Investments**
Investments in ordinary, unlisted shares are measured at cost less impairment.
## **Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year**
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
## **Taxation**
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.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for twelve months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

**Unrestricted funds** comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use in accordance with charitable objectives. Although certain grants are received in order to enable the charity to meet its objectives, these funds are considered to be unrestricted as they form part of the ongoing, fundamental activities of the charity.
**Designated funds** comprise those unrestricted funds which the trustees have set aside for a specific future purpose and therefore do not form part of the currently available free reserves.
**Restricted funds** are funds which have been given for particular purposes and projects. Grants made by The Big Lottery Fund for the Reaching Community Buildings Grant have been expended on items of a capital nature and the balance on the fund represents their net book value in the accounts at the balance sheet date.
