aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## **Annual Review** 

The year started out with great optimism with a number of events planned up to Christmas 2019.  The new year brought the first news of a pandemic in China and quickly events changed with a full lockdown on the 23rd March 2020.  This meant the building was closed and we furloughed our staff until June 30th 2020. We re-opened with a takeaway and Meals on Wheels service which proved a great success. 

## **Salix Community Day** 

On 20th August 2019, Salix Homes held a free Community event at The Tatton in an effort to bring the community together.  There was a number of stalls where people could make a floral display, design a t-shirt, discuss youth activities in the area and even win a prize on the tombola.  The Tatton also used this opportunity to fundraise by selling some of donated school bags, stationary and childrens unbrellas.  Children could learn about farm animals at the local petting zoo came as well a having fun on the bouncy castle and having their face painted.  The event was a success and was well attended by the community.  We very much hope to run something similar in the future. 

## **Manchester and Warrington Quaker Worker Fund** 

The Trustees, staff and volunteers of The Tatton firstly would like to express their sincere thanks for the extremely generous grant which was provided to us by Manchester and Warrington Quaker Work Fund. The grant came at a time when we have been sadly let down by a professional fundraiser who had promised a great deal of assistance in funding application and ideas to enable the continuation of the project. Unfortunately we lost touch due to other committements on her part.  Her absence led to us to refocus on the strengths of the Trustees for future bids. Receiving the funding gave the trustees the opportunity to refocus, come up with a plan and indeed apply for further funding.

## **Incubation Hub** 

The Tatton prides itself in helping small local businesses develop and provides rooms to hire on a long term basis.  Last year we welcomed a new tenant, Paul Houghton Mosaics, a Salford lad whom creates mosaics and wall art based on local well known stars.  Paul has been a great addition to The Tatton and hopes to create some artwork for us once we have refurbished our cafe area. 

## **Halloween Party and Haunted Walk** 

Halloween is a popular event within our community.  This year we held a community party whereby families came together to enjoy party food, games followed by a spooky walk around the “Crowther’s Halloween Haunt”.  This event was thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. 

## **Bonfire Night** 

This year our staff asked if they could stay open for Bonfire Night and sell Potato Hash, Hotdogs, Toffee Apples and Hot Drinks.  The idea was to hopefully bring the community together whilst they were out and about viewing the local fireworks.  The event was a great success.  Our Toffee Apples were sold out before the evening had started.  Historically the community have always got together on Bonfire Night within the New Barracks estate so it was great to see this brought back. 

## **5* Food Hygiene Rating Scheme** 

The Tatton works to the highest standards of Food Hygiene and cleanliness.  We were delighted to have this reaffirmed again this year.  This is testiment to our team as a whole as they work continuously to maintain our high standard. 

## _**Christmas Lunches**_ 

The Tatton enjoyed a full run on Christmas lunches from our close neighbours and supporters including: 

HCC Solicitors (16) 

Queen Alexandra Close (22) 

Ordsall Health Surgery (12)

## **Breakfast with Santa** 

Due to the popularity of our Breakfast with Santa events last year we decided to run this again over two sittings during December.  This event again helped create lovely memories for the families that booked on.  All who attended enjoyed a delicious breakfast, played party games, had the opportunity to write a last-minute letter to Santa, sing Christmas songs as well as meet Santa Claus. 

## **Christmas Markets** 

Our Christmas Markets are an event created to bring the community together at Christmas time.  A time when people can feel isolated but also a time where resident have the desire to come together; to be creative, have fun and celebrate which we believe will help strengthen community cohesion. 

We aim to engage with local residents, schools, community groups, local business and agencies to encourage them to participate in both the planning and delivery of the Christmas Markets.  We wanted to inspire interaction and offer an opportunity for residents to get to know each other as well as having fun. 

Leading up to the event we held a number of workshops to help residents get creative and make festive items to sell at our crafts stall. 

We offered an opportunity for local agencies to showcase what they have to offer and promote their services. 

Children from the local school St Josephs’ sang beautiful Christmas Hymns and we also had a visit from Santa, who provided every child with a small gift.  There were lots of stalls selling festive items, tombola’s, games and a number of hands on stalls allowing the customers to try their hand at arts and crafts. 

Customers had the opportunity to get in the festive spirit and tuck into a delicious turkey and stuffing barm and a hot drink whilst browsing through our stalls. 

Having run the Christmas Markets for a number of years we have decided that we would like to plan for a new, different event for our next year Christmas Activity and we will canvas our community for ideas. 

## **Project Leader** 

The Project Leader resigned in February 2020, just before Lockdown.  Due to the financial constraints at the time the committee decided not to reappoint for the position of Project Leader at this time.  It was then decided that as a collective the Trustees would each become more hands on and support each other to deliver our aims and objectives whilst not having to fund an additional post.

This was to avoid placing any further financial pressure at a time which was so uncertain.  We will review this in the future when our financial position allows us to sustain this post. 

## **COVID - 19** 

On 23rd March 2020 we had to close the building and furlough our staff.  As Trustees we were unable to meet in our usual manner and soon learnt how to Zoom.  We completed our first years annual accounts as a charity, virtually and completed several funding bids, all but one were successful.  Trading ceased completely for just over three months with the attendant loss of income during this period. 

During our closure we did however provide the volunteer to enable The Bread and Butter Scheme to continue during what was a very difficult period for many families.  We witnessed and increase in numbers and saw a wider range of customer demographics some from the professions which due to COVID had unfortunately lost their jobs or furloughed. 

In June the Government announced that we could re-open provided we adhered to the guidelines.  We had to do a deep clean of the premises with restrictive seating and remove anything that was unnecessary.  We had to provide clear signage for entry and exit and maintain an effective track and trace.  All staff and volunteers were provided with PPE and the necessary updated COVID training. 

We received funding from Forever Manchester and The Strong Foundation which enabled us to provide a Meals on Wheels (delivered on foot) service for the elderly and vulnerable in our community who were shielding.  We quickly adapted and found out that this service was highly needed and would be essential for some time. 

## _**The Bread and Butter Thing**_ 

The Bread and Butter Thing (TBBT) is a charity that makes life more affordable for people on a low income.  Their mission is to create a fair solution for people in poverty and their long-term aim is to address the premiums that people in poverty pay for food, loans, energy and other everyday essentials simply because of their personal circumstances. 

The Tatton helps to facilitate this scheme to ensure that as many members of our community can benefit as possible.  Each Tuesday members receive a text

asking if they would like to order shopping for that week (Thursday).  Pre covid the shopping would be packed in our cafe area, however things had to quickly change to adapt to restrictions.  The shopping is now packed in a warehouse and delivered direct to the cafe on a van where our volunteers distribute to the participants ensuring strict covid guidelines are adhered to.  The food supplied can often include items they might not have been able to afford, or betterquality option than they would usually buy.  We found that members enjoyed trying new projects and enjoyed sharing recipes with each other each week.  We also found that by paying a small amount for their shopping, member retained a sense of dignity and independence rather that feeling that they were using a “food bank”.  We love that the scheme also uses food that may have short dates or otherwise would have gone to landfill. 

TBBT helps to add support and strength to the fantastic work we already do to improve the general wellbeing and confidence of our community. 

## _How has this scheme helped our community?_ 

We saw an increase in membership since March 2020 following the onset of the pandemic.  Ordsall is already recognised as a socially deprived area, with low income and high unemployment.  Covid 19 has exacerbated all of these issues. 

## _**Our Community Café**_ 

The heart of our community centre is our café.  For 16 years our community café has provided meals for the people of Ordsall.  We aim to: 

- Fight Food Poverty and Encouraging Healthy Eating– We try to make food available to people who couldn’t afford to eat at a regular restaurant.  No matter how little money you have you can always find a meal suitable. Obtaining food from Fareshare helps us to make our menu more affordable. 

- Reduce Food Waste – Nearly five million tonnes of food goes to waste each year.  Although we can’t stop this on our own we can encourage our community to do their bit.  The goals to fighting hunger and reducing food waste go hand in hand.  We are members of the Fareshare community and regularly use perfectly good produce that would otherwise go to Landfill.   We often hold cookery courses teaching people the differences between best before and use by and showing that there is nothing wrong with wonky fruit and veg.  Feedback from our courses has shown that participants are now more thrifty with their food and less likely to waste.

- Promote Community – we are more than just a café.  We are a place where people from all walks of life can meet and talk over a meal.  Share live experiences.  Feel safe and above all feel part of our community. 

Once we had ascertained that the cafe would be closed for some time after the announcement of the first lockdown in an effort to avoid food waste and to help local families, we produced several small food parcels.  These parcels contained a variety of fresh, frozen and cupboard items which were greatly appreciated by those who received them. 

## _**Volunteers**_ 

Our Community Café and the events that we run at The Tatton require support from volunteers.  Our volunteers come in all shapes and sizes.  Our oldest volunteer is over 80 and our youngest volunteer is just 5 years old.   After picking up valuable skills and work experience at The Tatton many of volunteers have gone on to paid employment.  Full training and support are given to all our volunteers. 

_Why do people volunteer for at The Tatton?_ 

- _To increase confidence_ 

- _To try something new_ 

- _To get out of the house, meet new people and make friends_ 

- _To help the community_ 

- _To gain experience to allow them to apply for paid work_ 

_What volunteering opportunities do we have?_ 

- _Helping in the café – serving customers, preparing food and cleaning our café area._ 

- _Helping in our office with administration_ 

- _Helping to back The Bread and Butter Food bags_ 

_Our volunteers have advised us that they love being a part of team café and that they now feel by volunteering and helping us to help the community they feel that they have accomplished something and now have a sense of pride and identity.  Our staff and volunteers have met targets and worked together to_

_reach an end goal with great teamwork and having fun, which in turn has created lasting friendships._ 

Volunteering from March onwards was a very different process.  Our Volunteers had to adapt very quickly to ensure that they kept themselves safe as well as ensuring that they kept our customers safe.  All volunteers received Covid training and maintained a positive attitude to the challenges they faced trying to help our community through the pandemic.

## **Financial review** 

This year has resulted in a defecit for the year of £827.00.  In view of the past year in which The Tatton was closed from 23rd March 2020 until 1st July 2020 we consider this as a satisfactory outcome during a very testing time due to the pandemic. We also applied for a number of grants and were succesful and these will be reflected in the accounts for year ended 31st July 2021. 

## _**Investment Policy**_ 

We do not currently have an investment policy. 

## **Reserves policy** 

We have no restricted funds at present, but it is our intention to open a reserve account to cover any future funding which requires this.  We aim to have the Reserve account open by the end of the year and we will call a meeting to draw up and ratify a reserves policy.

## **Plans for the future** 

## **Activities** 

At the time of reporting, the government has started to ease the restrictions allowing us to re-open the cafe but with limited numbers.  The facility has been opened as a takeaway and meals on wheels service from 1st July 2020.  It is very uncertain at this stage what facilities we will be able to open up in the next few months. 

Current government guidelines are constantly altering and it is unlikely that we will be able to provide the type of activities we provided to the year end 31st December 2019.  However if circumstances allow we hope to hold our annual Halloween party and Christmas meals and fundraising activities. 

## **Fundraising** 

During the covid pandemic The Tatton was unable to generate the normal levels of income and this is likely to continue until year end 31st July 2021.  Our trustees have had to concentrate the efforts on grant applications these include:- 

- Salford Council Community Fund 

- Forever Manchester 

- Strong Foundation 

- Booths Charities 

- Central Goverment Job Retention Scheme 

During these austere times we have recognised the need to look more closely and monitor all our regular outgoings and intend to contact our main suppliers to review tariffs and charges to ensure The Tatton is receiving the most cost efficient packages in particular our utilities. 

Our continued aspirations include: 

- To bridge the gap between grants and income generated.  We want to be in a strong position in case the grants don't come in.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2020 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The charity has applied the exemption available to small charities in the Charities SORP (FRS 102) and does not include a Statement of Cash Flows in these Financial Statements. 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view' and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following 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), second edition - October 2019, rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The Tatton meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. No Key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

## **c Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is 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. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## **d Donated services and facilities** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income 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 by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## **e Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

## **f Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## **g 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 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 comprise of café expenses and their associated support costs. 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **h Operating leases** 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

## **i Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **j Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **k Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **l Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
