Achievements and Performance
Review of Activities
During the period Mentor Link has faced some challenges in delivering the service during the pandemic due to the face-to-face nature of the mentoring. However, at the end of this financial year the charities services was returning to near normal with more face to face mentoring sessions being delivered although covid 19 was still very disruptive to the mentoring service.
This year the charity has been kindly supported with grant funding from Worcestershire and Herefordshire Community Foundation, Baron Davenport, Harry Payne, Masonic Charitable Trust, The Gosling Trust, The Donald Forrester Trust, The Swire Charitable Trust, Awards for All, Geoff Hill Charitable Trust, Eveson Charitable Trust and St James Place.
To provide a safe working environment for staff and volunteers, the following changes have been implemented. An online database so staff can work from home; interviews for new mentors have been conducted on the telephone; the number of new mentors attending induction training has been cut to reduce the risks of possible infection transmission.
Due to the pandemic the Trustees decided to postpone the AGM for our previous year end to be held in October (normally the meeting is held in March) to follow the Government guidance at the time.
Investment and Performance
The constitution authorises the Executive Committee to make and hold investments at their discretion.
Factors Relevant to Achieve Objectives
It is important to maintain relationships with sources of funding and donors as well as maintaining Mentor Link's good reputation and standing in the wider community.
Financial Review
The charity has had a positive year with a surplus of £12,760. Despite the negative impact of Coronavirus, with a concerted effort to raise funds, the trustees have been actively asking for support with income being generated of £5,520, with donations and grants increasing resulting in income to £111,913.
Tight controls have been kept on expenditure to keep the losses as low as possible and to allow the trustees to direct as much income as possible to our one to one mentoring service.
Reserves Policy
The Executive Committee maintains a deposit account with HSBC and Nationwide, in order to cover any unforeseen expenditure and part of the expenditure anticipated for the forthcoming year. At 30 November 2021, £70,472 (2020: £70,917) was held on deposit. The Executive Committee has introduced a policy of holding reserves that equate to a minimum of three months overheads.

3. Accounting Policies

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

3. Accounting Policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
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:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
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.
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:
Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 25% reducing balance

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.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
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.
4. Charitable Incorporated Organisation
The Company is a Limited Liability Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is registered as a Charity (Registered Number 1169026). The members of the company are the Directors.
