## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To provide, maintain and develop facilities at Meriden Adventure Playground for children, young people and families resident in Chelmsley Wood and its’ surrounding areas, through the provision of safe and stimulating play opportunities so as to develop their physical, social and mental skills. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

## _Strategic sessions with Colebridge Trust_ 

Sue and Jeanette came and facilitated some sessions with the board of trustees in early March 2020 to help us do the groundwork for a 5-year strategic plan.  Lockdown did interrupt this work, but as things have eased we have continued to work on this with the great start they gave us and are about to produce a spanking new business plan. 

## _First Lockdown_ 

There were some highlights for us during lockdown.  We furloughed nearly all the staff, but those who stayed on, worked in partnership with local volunteers (now called the Rainbow Alliance) to pick up food from supermarkets and deliver food parcels and play packs to those families in real need locally, which also helped us stay in touch with them. It also gave the opportunity to get lots of development and maintenance work done on site and together with the help of several volunteers who were desperate to get out of the house, we managed to build a stage, extend and revamp the garden, install a real donated boat and completely clear out and reorganise all our storage containers – all much-needed tasks. 

## _Summer 2020_ 

We reopened the playground in the first week of July and had to use an online booking system to ensure that numbers were limited in a specific number of daily sessions with lots of disinfectant spraying and hand sanitising everywhere.  This worked well considering the limitations (and frustrations with the booking system!) and we continued to use it for several months but we are looking forward to reverting to normal open access as soon as we can – especially to rebuild relationships and communication with those children who regularly turned up unaccompanied. 

We were thrilled to set up and build a growing partnership with child psychologists from Barnardo’s who over the summer brought groups of children on site twice a week for ‘therapeutic play sessions’.  We all know that play is nature’s therapy for kids and it helps them face and conquer their fears, play out their worries and start to build the confidence and resilience they so need – it was wonderful to see this happening in front of us and also continuing into the autumn term.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

Sadly with the second lockdown in October this ceased but we look forward to growing this partnership once restrictions finally ease. 

## _Autumn and Spring lockdowns_ 

We were able to stay open after discussions with both Public Health and with the police,  albeit for much smaller numbers – initially only 15 per session, which was very tough when so many wanted to come.  We had to keep the online booking system going for months in order to try and manage things as fairly as possible. 

In order to therefore increase local access, we expanded our daytime targeted sessions for home educated children, disabled children and those under five, as well as offering extra sessions for visiting pupil referral units.  Play sessions after school and on Saturdays continue although in order to ensure that local children who would find it difficult or impossible to attend open access sessions, we are now having ‘closed’ sessions for particular groups once or twice a week. 

## _Youth Nights_ 

Twice-weekly Youth Nights continued after the first lockdown and we also set up a detached youth work project in Kingshurst with funding from the Police Violence Reduction Unit.  Many of these young people now come over to the playground each week. Lots of individual young people have been supported on a range of mostly mental health issues and there have been plenty of conversations about these and the effects of the pandemic.  We look forward to picking up and starting projects and trips off site that were all cancelled due to lockdowns. 

## _Site Development_ 

The wonderful B37 Project managed to complete their community environmental project on and around the site which has revolutionised our garden area and given us loads of growing flowers, fruit, vegetable and newly planted trees, as well as new habitats for hedgehogs, insects, butterflies and bats, all of which has excited and involved children. 

## _Training_ 

We don’t have a big training budget, but the pandemic has enabled plenty of free online training for charities and we have been able to take advantage of many of these.  Staff have therefore taken workshops in Trauma-informed practice, safeguarding with particular groups, food hygiene, Team Teach and various other subjects which has been really useful. 

## _Lease_ 

We finally signed the lease with Solihull MBC for use of the land and kitchen/toilets building, which has enabled us to draw down the funding from HS2 for installation of the converted shipping containers on site and to date, the concrete foundations for these have been completed and we look forward to the containers arriving in early summer 2021.

## _Feedback_ 

Feedback continues to be extremely positive in our comments book, on the periodic questionnaires or surveys we send out, and on our Facebook page as well as in the regular and spontaneous conversations had with both adults and children/young people.  We continue to be amazed at the power of play to build confidence, resilience and to make all our lives much better all round, especially after this stressful and difficult year. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial Overview** 

As shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8, the Charity's total income rose to £249,446 for the year, representing an increase of 18% from 2019-20. The Charity's total expenditure fell from £186,867 to £144,791,  resulting in a surplus of £104,655. At 31 March 2021 total funds were £220,621, of this £145,827 was unrestricted and £74,794 restricted. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

A charity’s free reserves are its general unrestricted funds (excluding any element represented by fixed assets) less any funds which have been designated for specific future projects by the Trustees. Details of designated funds are given in note 15 of these financial statements. 

The charity's reserves policy is to hold a minimum level of free reserves equivalent to approximately six months' expenditure, in order to ensure that any delay in the receipt of income by the charity, caused by the actions of third parties, does not affect the ability of the charity to meet its obligations to its beneficiaries. 

As indicated on page 15, note 14, the level of unallocated reserves as at 31 March 2021 was £53,083 which represents 6 months expenditure. The Trustees regularly review the appropriateness of the reserves policy with regard to the current environment in which the Charity operates and believe the level of reserves to be appropriate.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages' 8 to 16. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Charity are not required to be audited 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** 

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: 

1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3) 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 

4) 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 (FRS102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no 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.

## **Meriden Adventure Playground Association** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Company Status** 

The charity was entered onto the Register of Charities of the Charity Commission of England and Wales on 27 January 2017, with registered charity number 1171350. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 ' The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. 

The financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis using the historic cost concept. 

## **Going Concern assumption** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the charity will continue to operate. The charity's business plan shows that the charity will be able to operate in the foreseeable future. Based on this understanding the director trustees believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments, which would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate. 

## **Charitable Status** 

Meriden Adventure Playground Association (MAPA) is a registered charity and is exempt from corporation tax and capital gains tax provided its income and gains are applied for charitable purposes. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled. 

Income from grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

## **Meriden Adventure Playground Association** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

Income from trading activities includes income earned from the sale of food and drinks. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods, in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement occurs. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to a particular heading they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Expenditure is classified under the following heading: 

Expenditure on charitable activities comprise the direct costs of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity, including grants payable and all associated support costs. 

Cost of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading. 

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

## **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. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event where it is probable that there will be an outflow of economic resources to settle the obligation and where creditors can be estimated or measured reliably. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets** 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of each asset, less its residual value, over its estimated useful economic life. The depreciation charge recognised each year relates to the class of the asset, the rates and classes are as follows: 

Equipment - _5 years straight line_ Container Structure - _15 years straight line_

## **12 RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES** 

There were no transactions with related parties in this reporting period. 

## **13 PROVISIONS FOR LIABILITIES** 

At the date that these accounts were approved there was a liability arising in relation to water and electricity usage at the site of Meriden Adventure Playground Association. 

The liability is expected to result in an outflow of resources (expenditure) within 12 months of the approval of the accounts and is a present obligation as a result of past events. 

These financial statements do not include a provision since the amount owing cannot be reliably measured. At the time of approving the accounts early discussions with the lessor suggest that the liability may be in the region of £10,000 for the year ended 31st March 2021.
