Achievements and performance

Parker Trust has continued to deliver projects and services for young people in the community. Parker Trust has delivered additional supporting particularly to those most vulnerable, offering after school and holiday provision including facilitating holiday activities for 30 young people a day 3 times a week during school holidays and each person received a hot meal including dessert and healthy snacks.

We have been able to continue to offer pyrography and bush craft skills to young people and their parents who are not engaging in school and are struggling with issues such as anxiety, high functioning autism and social exclusion.

We have also welcomed visits from funders and donors who have wanted to see first hand the services and projects we are delivering. We have continued and strengthened our partnerships across the City and we are planning to work with other local organisations in the area to help support those most vulnerable including opening our doors as a "Welcoming Space" which offers a safe and warm space to those in the community who are struggling with the cost of living.

We worked with 68 young people who were at risk of engaging in criminality or becoming NEET with support around personal presentation, CV writing, Job Searching and access to training. We also facilitated environmental projects using recyclable materials these are going to be used to create a festive garden at Christmas. We have also encouraged community cohesion and organised litter picks and family learning.

We have worked in partnership with:

Active Families North East CIC, Sunderland West Advice Project, Together for Children, Virtual School & Youth Almighty, Hope4All, Love Amelia, Connor Brown Trust, Creative Minds, Rain and Shine Counselling, Northumbria Police, Pallion Action Group, Pennywell CA, Sunderland Training & Education Farm, Pallion Clean and Green Team, Groundworks UK Sunderland City Council Enforcement team,

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Parker Trust CIO

Year ended 31 March 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Parker Trust CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Parker Trust, 25 Kayll Road, Pallion, Sunderland, SR4 7TW.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

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.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

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.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2024

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:

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.

10

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Parker Trust CIO

Year ended 31 March 2024

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

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:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line Property Improvements - 10% straight line

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 cashgenerating 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.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

The charity is connected with Parker Memorial Home, charity registration number 229350.

Parker Memorial Home is a building located at 25 Kayll Road Sunderland - a resource for young people up to age 25 to provide assistance, organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals; advancing education; and relieving unemployment.

The restricted funds of the charity have been managed by Parker Trust CIO throughout the current year, with the exception of the freehold property of £124,852 which remains in the name of Parker Memorial Home and therefore does not form part of these accounts.

In order to assist the readers of the accounts only the current asset and current liabilities figures have been included as comparative figures for information purposes only.
