Objectives and activities

Purpose and Aims

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

In setting plans and priorities for areas of work, the trustees have referred to the guidance from the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit in accordance with section 17 of the Charities Act 2011. In particular the trustees consider how activities will continue to meet the objectives they have set and focus on the services which will deliver the greatest benefit to the most vulnerable of the potential service users. In delivering these services we clearly identify, and measure where possible, the benefits that have been delivered.

We monitor progress to ensure that benefits are accruing as planned, and to learn any lessons that can be fed back into the planning and delivery cycle. Throughout this report, and particularly in the Headline Outcomes and Achievements sections, we note the numbers and categories of service users who have benefitted.

Our work benefits society as a whole as well as the direct service users by our activities in support of families and groups which assist the reintegration of service users into wider society. In doing so the trustees believe that they are meeting the public benefit requirement as set out in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011.

She was feeling very isolated and alone in dealing with both organisations and was struggling fln&ncially to cover the bills she was still paying for both sets of accornmodation.

Trustees’ annual report

Strategic and Operational Success

In our third year since the strategic objective and operational business plan review, Project 6 has made significant strides. Our plan undergoes quarterly reviews with target assessments, where we address any exceptions or issues. In this financial year, we made remarkable progress towards all five strategic objectives. Our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) operates with individual work plans that align with these objectives, ensuring successful operations and target achievement. We attribute this success to our rigorous use of the Framework and quarterly Performance Management Meetings. This was a remarkable achievement, given the challenges posed by the post-COVID external environment. Our unwavering commitment to our beneficiaries and the organization's goals remained steadfast.

Financial

Our financial results for the year are detailed on page 47. The year saw an increase in total income from £1.9 million to £2.6 million, while expenditure increased from £2.2 million to £2.6 million, resulting in a total surplus of £43k. The board approved a small deficit budget of £50k at the start of the year to allow the organisation to implement key strategic groundwork for future years, and £80k of restricted income has been accrued for activities in 2023-24. Our income grew by 35% with main factors being the successful tender with Humankind in the New Vision Bradford Project. We are also excited about the Likewise project that is being started in the 23/24 financial year.

We are currently reviewing our financial controls to ensure financial reporting is accurate which will allow us to control core costs in the foreseeable future. For the upcoming years we have a strong income generation pipeline that continues to expand, and our outcomes provide excellent value for money. We are closely monitoring the political situation and the subsequent financial implications affecting local health and care partnerships /systems and the funding grants from the Office of Health Improvements and Disparities.

Staff costs remain our largest expense, accounting for 62% of our total expenditure. Our total expenditure on staff costs for this year was £1.6 million.

During this financial period, we achieved a surplus of £42,595, compared to a deficit of £225,879 in 2022.

Our principal funding sources include Office of Health improvements and disparities, partnerships, Bradford and Craven Clinical Commissioning Group, Bradford Metropolitan District Council, and the National Lottery Community Fund.

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31st March 2023

We are committed to generating earned income through training services, which have been redesigned for the current financial year. Our diverse funding streams across various services provide us with financial stability and a foundation for growth. Throughout the year, we have continued our efforts to build a sustainable and flexible funding structure through diversified income streams. Further details can be found in our Income Generation Plan and Training Business Plan.

We have taken note of the directive from the Fundraising Regulator and ensured our compliance. Our charity has no contracts with professional fund-raisers or commercial participators, and no complaints have been received regarding fundraisers acting on our behalf.

Reserves:

As of the end of this reporting period, our reserves stand at:

Reserves policy

Given our service nature and staff-related responsibilities, our Trustees consider it prudent to maintain reserves equal to three months' unrestricted expenditure which gives a target of £91,000. This level ensures we can meet our legal and moral commitments for a defined period. We will also review our policy to adopt a risk-based approach over the next year, maintaining a healthy level of reserves. Our unrestricted reserves are just below three months' expenditure. Trustees have reviewed current forecasts including increased activity and contribution to core costs, and are confident that the level of reserves will be recovered in the coming year. We have designated £75,000 to support a new premises in Doncaster for the upcoming financial year.

Investment Policy

Our Trustees invest surplus liquid funds in short-term interest-bearing accounts to maximize liquidity. An investment review is planned for the upcoming year.

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31st March 2023

Income Policy

Project 6 recognises income from donations or government grants when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.

The Future

Every year it seems when I comment on the future, I note the challenging situation we continue to operate in. This year is no exception. The cost-of-living crisis, the turmoil of health and care services, and the new drive to see improvements as part of the drug strategy investment. All these factors laid on top of an ongoing recruitment crisis have created another perfect storm for the sector.

However, we are delighted that this year we will be developing six new projects and partnerships, including working with Humankind across two of our areas, developing a new partnership with Together Women and Sheffield Teaching Hospitals Trust. We are in a period of significant growth and, while this is welcomed, it creates challenges around our internal structures as, like most organisations, we have struggled with recruitment. Our next job is to onboard a significant number of staff to the organisation while ensuring our culture remains vibrant and our values continue to shine through. Our focus this year is on the quality of the services we develop and to deliver and create and deliver a robust workforce development plan.

We have internal plans to develop a strong methodology of co-design and production across Project 6, as well as continuing our journey to become a more inclusive organisation. Through our communications, podcasting and another conference scheduled for June 2024, we hope to continue to challenge stigma and create hope for people who need our services.

The political environment remains beyond turbulent. It is likely that in the run up to a general election it well become even more unpleasant. Project 6 stands ready to challenge any stigma experienced by the people who use our services, and we will stand shoulder to shoulder with those who are receiving the most hatred nationally, people who are seeking asylum and transpeople. We are an organisation rooted in social justice and believe that it’s our responsibility, as well as a value, to stand up for people’s rights.

Going Concern

The Trustees have reviewed the forecasts covering the period to March 2025 based upon known project income and forecast costs supported by project budgets for each restricted fund and a payroll budget.

36

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31st March 2023

The charity has achieved income growth this year and has been successful with tenders including the Humankind in the New Vision Bradford project and the Likewise project that is being started in the 23/24 financial year. The Trustees recognise there are challenges with the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and uncertainties regarding possible changes in the Government. To mitigate these challenges, the charity has performed a sensitivity analysis on forecasts and considered its free reserves level. While free reserves, have reduced to £74,921 in the current year, the forecasts indicate an increase as these new projects are delivered.

It is for these reasons that the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity has adequate resources to meet its financial obligations, and to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements and has prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis.

Structure, Governance, and Management

Project 6 operates as a charitable company limited by guarantee, established on September 3, 1997, and registered as a charity on June 23, 1989. Our Board of Trustees oversees the organization's strategic direction, planning, and risk management. Key roles are divided between the Chair of Trustees and the Chief Executive. Trustees volunteer their time and do not receive benefits from the charity. Staff manage direct services to beneficiaries.

Recruitment and Induction of Trustees

We are committed to recruiting trustees who align with our values and Code of Conduct, promoting diversity and equal opportunities. Trustees undertake an induction process, reviewing the organization's key documents and engaging with the wider organization.

Partnerships and Collaboration

We actively engage in ethical collaboration and partnership working, which is central to our approach. In the past year, we have partnered with various organizations in Keighley, Sheffield, and Doncaster to develop new services and enhance service delivery.

We extend our gratitude to the organizations and individuals who have supported us. These include Fare Share, volunteers, and grant funders who believe in our mission.

Risk management

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Members of

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees' annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Independent Auditor’s Report

to the Members of

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited is a charitable company in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are on page 4 of these financial statements.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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) published October 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated

1.2 Company status

The company is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 2. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

1.3 Going concern

The Trustees have reviewed the forecasts covering the period to March 2025 based upon known project income and forecast costs supported by project budgets for each restricted fund and a payroll budget.

50

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

The charity has achieved income growth this year and has been successful with tenders including the Humankind in the New Vision Bradford project and the Likewise project that is being started in the 23/24 financial year. The Trustees recognise there are challenges with the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and uncertainties regarding possible changes in the Government. To mitigate these challenges, the charity has performed a sensitivity analysis on forecasts and considered its free reserves level. While free reserves, have reduced to £74,921 in the current year, the forecasts indicate an increase as these new projects are delivered.

It is for these reasons that the Trustees are of the opinion that the charity has adequate resources to meet its financial obligations, and to continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months from approval of these financial statements and has prepared these financial statements on the going concern basis.

1.4 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either the company is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the company 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 company has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.

Where legacies have been notified to the company, or the company is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Donated services or facilities are recognised when the company has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the company of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

general volunteer time is not recognised. Refer to the Trustees' 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 company which is the amount the company 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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Costs of raising funds are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.

52

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

Charitable activities are costs incurred on the company's operations, including support costs and costs relating to the governance of the company apportioned to charitable activities.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure account.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements 10% straight line or length of lease
Freehold improvements 10% straight line
Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line
Freehold property 2% straight line

Investments in shares are included at fair value.

1.8 Debtors

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

1.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges.

1.11 Financial instruments

The company 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.

1.12 Pensions

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

1.13 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 institution with whom the funds are deposited.

1.14 Leases

Operating lease rentals are charged to the income and expenditure account as incurred.

54

Airedale Voluntary Drug and Alcohol Agency Limited operating as Project 6

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023

1. Accounting Policies (continued)

1.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.16 Accounting estimates and areas of judgment

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

1.17 Employee benefits

The cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received.

1.18 Redundancy

The Redundancy policy of the charity is to comply with the statutory redundancy obligations set out by Law.

1.17 Tax exemption

The company is considered to pass the tests set out in Sch. 6, para. 1 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the company is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Pt. 11, Ch. 3 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or s. 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
