REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and "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 OF THE CHARITY
The charity's purposes are to benefit the residents of Scholes and the neighbourhood of Wigan by :-
Bringing together these residents with local authority, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education.
Providing facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
Continuous improvement in the quality of service by regular evaluation and investment in the professional development of staff and volunteers.
Providing a secure, well established service for the future.
All activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
Public benefit
The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning and delivering services at Sunshine House. As can be seen from the Trustee's report, activities and developments at the Centre are guided by the wishes and needs of the service users, working in collaboration with partners to ensure our service networks effectively with the statutory and voluntary sector.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities COMMUNITY CAFE
Sunshine Café:
As well as providing facilities within Sunshine House we continue to deliver meals to people who are lonely and isolated and those who can no longer leave the comfort of their own homes. We are now serving between 80 - 100 meals pre day
CARE IN THE COMMUNITY
SMILE : Our adults social care project returned during 2021 and has gained momentum this year and we have sessions running on 4 days each week.
Community Functions: We had our first Christmas party in December 2022 and this was a roaring success. This will be repeated next year and we are also planning a Christmas market. We also hold Zumba and keep fit sessions and a computer club.
Community Payback : We have sessions on a Wednesday and a Sunday. The Sunday team do the litter picking and clearing of places around the centre whilst the Wednesday team is a workshop. These people are currently making raised beds for the garden next to the Bowling Green. The plan is to plant both vegetables and flowers and also provide a space for people in the community to sit and relax.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Trading activities
Mother Babies & Tots Shop & Charity Shop
The volunteers that run these shops are local residents but this year we have also had work-experience people from the Dean Trust High School. This worked very well and we are speaking to the Trust about increasing the number of work experience placements throughout the various projects within Sunshine House.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The trustees are very grateful to the external funders, who supplement the income generated by the hard working team of volunteers.
This year we have not made any significant funding applications but have been 'self-sustaining'. We note how difficult it can be to 'get it right' but we try to price our services at a cost which allows us to pay our bills whilst keeping everything affordable in what is one of the most deprived areas of the country.
Reserves policy
The trustees have established a policy whereby the free reserves held by the charity should be at a level sufficient to cover up to four months running costs.
This has been achieved in this period and will be reviewed each year in order to reflect any change in circumstances or commitments.
FUTURE PLANS
We believe that the new management team has brought new ideas to the table which can only enhance the service that Sunshine House provides.
It is our ultimate aim to have the centre open from 8.30am till 10pm throughout the week, but this is a long-term goal and will only be achieved with the help of existing volunteers (to whom we remain very grateful) and the recruitment of new trustees and volunteers.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Constitutional policies

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SUNSHINE HOUSE WIGAN
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Sunshine House Wigan ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
