Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)

Year ended 31 August 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2022.

Chair's report

I am pleased to present to you our annual accounts in my capacity as Interim Chair.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow Trustees and express my gratitude for their support and collaborative work commitment. I would also like to place on record my appreciation for all the work our staff and volunteers do; their commitment is exemplary and without them, Age Concern Tyneside South would not be able to offer the incredible services that they do; this has been doubly so during the second year of the Covid-19 pandemic.

It has been a very busy year for our organisation, to manage the constantly changing landscape within society and the changing needs of old people during the aftermath of the pandemic, in particular, but thanks to the direction of the senior management team and trustees the organisation continues progress with an excellent year and with a positive forecast for the future.

The charity's financial position is outlined in this report. Our senior management team have worked hard to manage a number of difficult challenges during another difficult year. Their energy and skills, with the dedication of the board, have ensured we continue to have strong governance and we continue to deliver exceptional value for money and a number of services that are fit for purpose that reflects the charity’s values. This has allowed us to rebuild reserves this year to a more sustainable level going forward.

We continue to develop our understanding of the local population and their needs. This continues to aid us in progressing our strategic objective of making South Tyneside the most age friendly borough in the country. We will not be able to do this alone and we will continue to forge strong links with the community, and our statutory and charity partners over the next three years to deliver our goal.

During the year covered by this annual report we are pleased to welcome new Trustees: Norman Kaier; Jude Puech; Margaret Adams; and Ian Brimer who will help us as an organisation as we progress going forward, this takes our board to 8 with 75% living within the borough across all 3 PCNs and Locality areas, with most being aged over 50 making them representative.

The organisation is continuing to establish itself in its sixth year as a new charity within the Borough of South Tyneside. Taking into account the challenges faced by all new charities accessing funding streams, alongside the recovery from the Global Pandemic brought about from the Covid-19 virus, the organisation has had a good year. The contracts with Statutory Partners have been increased and this assisted in the increase in the projected surplus.

This can be demonstrated within the accounts by the increase in turnover of £573,219 and the increase in the average headcount of 20 to undertake this work resulting in an increase in the surplus of £175,335.

A continuing cost review with a programme of achievable reduction is now in place for the financial year 2022-23 across the whole organisation, with a regular review of Senior Management Team costs. The organisation is also starting to achieve new grant and contract income

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Board to express to all our partners and stakeholders who contribute to the work of the charity. Without you we would not be as dynamic, flexible and responsive as we have been over the past ever-changing year and you all, collectively and individually, ensure we maintain our values as we provide the services required to enhance the lives of all who use our services.

We all look forward to continuing to serve the older people who use our services across South Tyneside.

Best Wishes

Cameron Ward Interim Chair

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2022

Structure, governance and management

Governing documents

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.

Recruitment, appointment and training new trustees

Charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected for three years.

All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.

The Management Committee meet on a bi-monthly basis and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.

Policies for the induction and training of new trustees

Age Concern Tyneside South recognises that an effective board of trustees is essential if the charity is to be effective in achieving its objects. The board must seek to be representative of the people with whom the charity works and must have available to it, all of the knowledge and skills required to run the charity. Individual trustees must have sufficient knowledge, both of trusteeship in general and of the charity's activities, to enable them to carry out their role and to represent the charity at meetings and other events.

The Chief Officer and Chair of Trustees are responsible for the ensuring that the induction process is arranged and completed.

A training programme is in place to ensure that any newly appointed trustee will receive training on all matters necessary to enable them to perform their duties effectively. This will be tailored to their specific needs but, unless the appointee is already sufficiently experienced, should cover as a minimum:- governance and management; equal opportunities; a thorough induction to the history and current activities of the organisation; sufficient explanation of the charity’s financial accounts and reporting procedures to enable them to exercise fiscal oversight.

Explanation of all charity policies includes those relating to trustee expenses and how they can be claimed. If a new trustee is to take on any specific duties, all needs in relation to this will be assessed. It is acknowledged that trustees have a wide range of other commitments and every effort will be made to make this training accessible to the individual by arranging it to be conducted at times convenient to them.

Organisational structure and decision making

A line management system is in place with day-to-day responsibility for the management of the organisation resting with the Chief Officer. The Chief Officer is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. Day-to-day operational management is headed by individual team members using the reporting structures and line management to finally report to the Chief Officer and Trustees.

The Chief Officer implements the pay policy on an ongoing basis and is responsible for pay review and setting salaries for senior staff. The Board reviews the Chief Officer's salary annually and is responsible for making any decisions about remuneration of the Chief Officer.

Employment policies

The charity operates a number of key employment policies including Equality and Diversity and Health and Safety.

Risk management

The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable assurance against material misstatement or loss. Internal control processes implemented by the Trustees include:

Trustees have in place a formal risk management framework and policy to assess risk and implement management strategies. A risk register is in place which is scrutinised weekly by the senior management team. This process reports to the board on a quarterly basis reporting exception.

The process identifies the types of risk the charity faces, prioritises them in terms of the likelihood of occurrence and potential impact, and identifies the means of mitigating these risks.

Investment Policy

The Articles of Association state that in the furtherance of Age Concern Tyneside South's objectives the charity shall have the power to invest monies not immediately required of its purpose. As of August 2022, no such investments were held.

Principal funding sources

Reserves Policy

As a minimum ACTS will aim to hold in reserve enough money to cover its known financial commitments (e.g. rental of office space, rental of equipment such as photocopiers), the core functions of the organisation (i.e. those functions not directed to service delivery) for 3 months and enough money to cover its redundancy commitments to employees. Free reserves at 31 August 2022 were £383,576.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Age Concern Tyneside South

31 August 2022

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Age Concern Tyneside South (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 auditor's 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 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 company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 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 other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Age Concern Tyneside South

31 August 2022

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they 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.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 an auditor’s report 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 design 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 irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

11

Age Concern Tyneside South

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Age Concern Tyneside South

31 August 2022

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements ( continued )

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to both the company itself and the sector in which it operates. We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our sector experience and through discussion with the Key Management Personnel. The most significant identified that directly affect the financial statements include safeguarding, financial reporting legislation (including related companies’ legislation), the Charities Act 2011 and UK taxation legislation. The company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: Health and Safety, Employment Law and Data Protection regulations, recognising the nature of the company’s activities.

We considered the extent of compliance with those laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements. Our audit procedures included:

Our audit did not identify any key audit matters relating to the detection of irregularities including fraud. However, despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularity likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's 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 members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

Donations, grants and gifts are recognised when receivable. In the event that a donation is subject to fulfilling performance conditions before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. Income from Gift Aid tax reclaims is recognised for any donations with relevant Gift Aid certificates recognised in income for the year. Any amounts of Gift Aid not received by the year-end are accounted for in income and accrued income in debtors.

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

Income from NHS contracts, government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Investment income relates to interest earned through holding assets on deposit.

Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset.

Donated goods and services

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably.

Voluntary assistance

Time is expended on the charity’s activities and governance which is donated free of charge. It is impractical to quantify the value of the time given, and accordingly it is neither recorded as donated income nor as an expense in the financial statements.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 15% reducing balance
Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results.

There are no critical judgements, significant assumptions concerning the future and key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
