## **UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)**
**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 September 2021**
## **CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY VOLUNTEERS**
The charity enjoys the services of various volunteers, who contribute enormously in various areas of service provision, development and implementation of the Church vision. The volunteers are encouraged to attend various training and development programmes organised by the charity and other organisations. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.
## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
Scope and Basis of the financial statements:
The Trustees have adopted the provision of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) Accounting and Reporting by charities issued in March 2005
The charity has taken advantage of the concession which allows it to publish only a statement of financial activities. The charity generated a total income of £149,713.00 (Compared to £272,930.00 in 2020) and had a net Surplus of £75,810.00 during the year (compared to £181,580.00 Surplus in 2020).
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RISK MANAGEMENT**
The financial support (mainly from member donation) continues to enable the church to be self-sustaining in meeting its day-to-day operational needs and in fulfilling a myriad of public benefit and charitable services.
The charity also intends to help improve our members and volunteers by sending them on training that can add value to their life or help gain necessary skills to succeed in their chosen field and to intensify effort in searching for a permanent church venue to meet the need of the growing church and its local community.
The charity is looking out to partner with more organisations in our local community positively.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT AND THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in its activities.

## **UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)**

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that its financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993 as amended. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charitable company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. **UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE**
## **DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO EXAMINER**
The trustees who held office at the date of approval of this trustees’ report confirm that, so far as they are each aware, there is no relevant information of which the Charity’s examiner is unaware; and each trustee has taken all the steps that he/she ought to have taken as a trustee to make himself/ herself aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Charity’s examiner is aware of that information.
## **EXAMINER**

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE Trust for the year ended 30 September 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 13.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. The accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**UNIVERSAL FAMILY CENTRE NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 September 2021**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (2005), the Charity Act 1993 and applicable UK accounting standards.
## **Cash flow statement**
Under FRS 1 the Charity is exempt from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charity is below the threshold specified in Appendix 2 of the FRS1.
## **Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in Note 2.
Investment income and gains are allocated to the appropriate fund.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The grant income where related to performance and specific deliverables are accounted for as the Charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income being received, the income is accrued.
## **Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs 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. Premises overheads have been allocated on a floor basis and other overheads have been allocated on the basis of the head count.
Community project costs are those costs incurred directly in support of the objects of the Charity. The community project cost includes other support costs incurred in support of the objects of the Charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with governance arrangement of the Charity, which relate to the general running of the Charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. The basis of allocation for support costs and governance costs has been explained in Note 3.
