|Summary of the purposes of<br>the charity as set out in its<br>governing document|Para 1.17|To promote the relief of elderly people in<br>any manner which now is or hereafter may<br>be deemed by law to be charitable in and<br>around Merstham, Redhill and Reigate<br>within the County of Surrey (“the area of<br>benefit”)|
|Summary of the main<br>activities in relation to those<br>purposes for the public<br>benefit, in particular, the<br>activities, projects or<br>services identified in the<br>accounts.|Para 1.17 and<br>1.19|The primary activities undertaken by the<br>charity are the provision of a day centre for<br>older people living the area of benefit. The<br>day centre provides a variety of activities,<br>designed for mental and physical<br>stimulation, as well as ancillary services to<br>support well-being e.g. hairdresser, and<br>audiology maintenance. The charity owns<br>two minibuses which are used to transport<br>people to the centre, and a cook is<br>employed to provide a hot meal or snack<br>option. There is a Men’s Shed in the<br>garden of the centre for older men who<br>would be at risk of social isolation. A<br>Befriending Service available for older<br>people who are less mobile and unable to<br>attend the day centre. The charity<br>signposts information and advice where<br>appropriate and is a reference point for<br>older people and their carers.|
|Statement confirming<br>whether the trustees have<br>had regard to the guidance<br>issued by the Charity<br>Commission on public<br>benefit|Para 1.18|Any decision relating to the overall<br>business development of the charity,<br>including but not limited to service delivery,<br>fundraising and external events, is made<br>with full consideration of all relevant<br>factors. The Trustees will consider how any<br>decision will fit within the core mission and<br>purpose of the charity, whilst taking into<br>consideration the Charity Commission<br>guidance on public benefit.|

|Contribution made by<br>volunteers.|Para 1.38|The charity relies heavily on the<br>contribution of volunteers in all areas of<br>service delivery, administration, and<br>Governance, and many of the services<br>simply would not happen without their<br>input. Volunteers help in the day centre,<br>with activities, refreshments, cleaning,<br>driving and escorting members on the<br>minibus. The Befriending service<br>comprises of a team of volunteers carefully<br>matched with a lonely older person, the<br>coordinator ensures people with similar<br>interests and personalities are matched<br>and we often see genuine, long-lasting<br>friendships develop.<br>We have noticed an increase in corporate<br>volunteering and have benefitted from<br>individual team members using their<br>Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)<br>days to help with bespoke projects as well<br>as corporate teams helping with major<br>projects. It is a real bonus to be nominated<br>as the recognised charity of choice for<br>corporate organisations and apart from the<br>financial benefits incurred the charity can<br>benefit in many other ways from the<br>intellectual property the corporate<br>organisation can offer.|

This is achieved through<br>all areas of service delivery by bringing<br>people together, cultivating friendships and<br>helping people to remain living<br>independently in their own homes for as<br>long as is practical and they so wish.<br>The trustees are responsible for reacting to<br>the changing needs of the community and<br>ensuring any new services offered meet<br>the demand whilst maintaining the integrity<br>and core values of the charity. An example<br>of this is the Men’s Shed which was<br>established to offer an alternative to the<br>growing number of socially isolated older<br>men who were desperate for company but<br>reluctant to attend a traditional day centre.|

This change brings uncertainty with<br>any core funding going forward. In addition,<br>we rely on core and project funding to<br>operate, due to increased competition and<br>demand, grant applications have surged by<br>an estimated 30-50%, while overall funding<br>from local government has seen sharp<br>declines in recent years, creating intense<br>competition for available funds|

## **ANNUAL ACCOUNTS** 

**For the year ended 31[st] March 2025** 



## Constitution and Objectives 

Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by rules set out in its constitution. Its objectives are established in its constitution as being the pursuit of any charitable activity for the benefit of the aged, particularly in or near Merstham, Redhill and Reigate. 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in establishing the aims and activities of the Charity and are satisfied that the aims and activities described in their Annual Report meet the expectations of that guidance. All the Charity's services are provided free of charge or at a cost which is affordable to substantially all potential beneficiaries or otherwise funded by public and private donors at no cost to the beneficiaries. Eligibility to access services is not restricted in any way other than appropriate age and proximity to the Charity's area of operation. Whilst many of the activities benefit the broader community of the Borough and beyond, these benefits are additional and incidental to the Charity's aims. 

The Trustees are the General Committee set out at the beginning of the report. The General Committee delegates day to day decision making to the Finance and General Purposes Committee, consisting of the Officers.

## **Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly** 

Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Financial review for the year ended 31 March 2025 

The Accounts and Annual Report have been updated and presented in line with the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) issued by the Charity Commission, to the extent applicable to smaller charities. 

An overview of the accounts is set out in the Treasurers' report earlier in this document. 

The Trustees continue to acknowledge the significant cost pressures on our commissioned funder, the Borough Council. 

We remain determined to continue to bring the Charity to a position of financial sustainability by seeking support from a broader range of sponsors and our own fundraising efforts. 

Corporate partnerships allow us to develop and grow the Charity in key areas and further increase our outreach into the community. 

The Trustees maintain a risk register and consider risk as part of the decision-making process and management. The Charity is not required to make a statement regarding risk management. The Trustees also take assurance of the procedures and policies in place, their review thereof and from Trustees' direct involvement in the financial management and operations of the Charity. 

On behalf of the Charity, I would like to say a sincere thank you to Judita Rogers for acting in a voluntary capacity as the Independent Examiner and to Vista Partners LLP for dealing with the Charity's payroll on a pro bono basis. 

This review, together with the reports contained elsewhere in this document and the legal and administrative information on page one, is the Annual Report of the Trustees for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011.

Merstham, Redhill and Reigate 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of the Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate** 

I report on the accounts for the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 12. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

* Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act: 

* To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

* To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

* To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

* To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## Note 1 - Accounting policies Basis of preparation. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) 

## Income and Endowments 

Income is recognised as it falls due and receipt is probable or more likely than not to be received. Income received wholly in respect of future periods is carried forward in the balance sheet as deferred income. Legacies: These are included as income in the SoFA when they fulfil the criteria of entitlement, measurement and their receipt is probable. Volunteer time is not recognised in the accounts, although it is included in the trustees’ annual report. 

## Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual’s basis. Expenditure has been analysed over the charity's main areas of activity. Support Costs: These do not, in themselves, constitute an activity, instead they enable output-creating activities to be undertaken. Support costs are therefore allocated to the relevant activity cost category they support. This enables the total cost of an activity to be disclosed in the SoFA. Support costs do not appear as a heading in the SoFA. 

Governance Costs: These are included as a sub-category of support costs. Governance costs are allocated to activities along with the other support costs. 

Allocation of Costs: Where appropriate, expenditure is allocated directly to an activity cost category. When items of expenditure contribute directly to the output of more than one activity cost category the cost is apportioned on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. The same principle is followed for depreciation, amotisation, impairments, revaluations and support costs. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets are recognised at cost on acquisition and depreciated in equal annual instalments over their anticipated useful life, taking account of any expected residual value on disposal. The charity's freehold property has not been depreciated as its residual value greatly exceeds its cost and therefore no depreciation cost arises. The carrying value of properties is reviewed annually for indications of impairment and provision will be made if any arises. 

Assets have been depreciated at the following rates: Improvements to property - Over ten years Minibuses - Over seven years Other equipment - Over four years 

## Fund accounting 

Where resources have been received to fund specified expenditure, it gives rise to restricted income in the statement of financial activities. Relevant expenditure incurred is applied against the income and any unexpended balance is shown as restricted funds at the balance sheet date. Where restricted funds are received for the acquisition of fixed assets, the funds are held as restricted until the asset is purchased. On purchase an amount equal to the cost of the asset is transferred to the fund representing tangible fixed assets. Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees at their discretion for specific future purposes. The balance of funds representing tangible fixed assets is shown as a designated fund as such funds are unavailable for other purposes without disposing of the assets concerned. 

Trustee remuneration, benefits and expenses 

Trustees have not received remuneration or benefits from the charity. Expenses have been paid exclusively as reimbursement and classified by nature of cost in the accounts. Staff remuneration 

No employees received employer benefits exceeding £60,000. Cash Flow 

The Charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement.

**AGE CONCERN VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION FOR THE ELDERLY MERSTHAM, REDHILL & REIGATE** 

## **CHARITY N0: 1173649** 

**-------------------------** 

## **ANNUAL ACCOUNTS** 

**For the year ended 31[st] March 2025** 



## Constitution and Objectives 

Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by rules set out in its constitution. Its objectives are established in its constitution as being the pursuit of any charitable activity for the benefit of the aged, particularly in or near Merstham, Redhill and Reigate. 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in establishing the aims and activities of the Charity and are satisfied that the aims and activities described in their Annual Report meet the expectations of that guidance. All the Charity's services are provided free of charge or at a cost which is affordable to substantially all potential beneficiaries or otherwise funded by public and private donors at no cost to the beneficiaries. Eligibility to access services is not restricted in any way other than appropriate age and proximity to the Charity's area of operation. Whilst many of the activities benefit the broader community of the Borough and beyond, these benefits are additional and incidental to the Charity's aims. 

The Trustees are the General Committee set out at the beginning of the report. The General Committee delegates day to day decision making to the Finance and General Purposes Committee, consisting of the Officers.

## **Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly** 

Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Financial review for the year ended 31 March 2025 

The Accounts and Annual Report have been updated and presented in line with the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) issued by the Charity Commission, to the extent applicable to smaller charities. 

An overview of the accounts is set out in the Treasurers' report earlier in this document. 

The Trustees continue to acknowledge the significant cost pressures on our commissioned funder, the Borough Council. 

We remain determined to continue to bring the Charity to a position of financial sustainability by seeking support from a broader range of sponsors and our own fundraising efforts. 

Corporate partnerships allow us to develop and grow the Charity in key areas and further increase our outreach into the community. 

The Trustees maintain a risk register and consider risk as part of the decision-making process and management. The Charity is not required to make a statement regarding risk management. The Trustees also take assurance of the procedures and policies in place, their review thereof and from Trustees' direct involvement in the financial management and operations of the Charity. 

On behalf of the Charity, I would like to say a sincere thank you to Judita Rogers for acting in a voluntary capacity as the Independent Examiner and to Vista Partners LLP for dealing with the Charity's payroll on a pro bono basis. 

This review, together with the reports contained elsewhere in this document and the legal and administrative information on page one, is the Annual Report of the Trustees for the purposes of the Charities Act 2011. 

Signed on behalf of the General Committee 

Alison Dadswell

Merstham, Redhill and Reigate 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of the Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate** 

I report on the accounts for the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 12. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

* Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act: 

* To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

* To state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

* To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

* To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Age Concern Voluntary Association for the Elderly Merstham, Redhill and Reigate Statement of Financial Activities for the year ended 31 March 2025 

## Note 1 - Accounting policies Basis of preparation. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) 

## Income and Endowments 

Income is recognised as it falls due and receipt is probable or more likely than not to be received. Income received wholly in respect of future periods is carried forward in the balance sheet as deferred income. Legacies: These are included as income in the SoFA when they fulfil the criteria of entitlement, measurement and their receipt is probable. Volunteer time is not recognised in the accounts, although it is included in the trustees’ annual report. 

## Expenditure 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual’s basis. Expenditure has been analysed over the charity's main areas of activity. Support Costs: These do not, in themselves, constitute an activity, instead they enable output-creating activities to be undertaken. Support costs are therefore allocated to the relevant activity cost category they support. This enables the total cost of an activity to be disclosed in the SoFA. Support costs do not appear as a heading in the SoFA. 

Governance Costs: These are included as a sub-category of support costs. Governance costs are allocated to activities along with the other support costs. 

Allocation of Costs: Where appropriate, expenditure is allocated directly to an activity cost category. When items of expenditure contribute directly to the output of more than one activity cost category the cost is apportioned on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis. The same principle is followed for depreciation, amotisation, impairments, revaluations and support costs. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets are recognised at cost on acquisition and depreciated in equal annual instalments over their anticipated useful life, taking account of any expected residual value on disposal. The charity's freehold property has not been depreciated as its residual value greatly exceeds its cost and therefore no depreciation cost arises. The carrying value of properties is reviewed annually for indications of impairment and provision will be made if any arises. 

Assets have been depreciated at the following rates: Improvements to property - Over ten years Minibuses - Over seven years Other equipment - Over four years 

## Fund accounting 

Where resources have been received to fund specified expenditure, it gives rise to restricted income in the statement of financial activities. Relevant expenditure incurred is applied against the income and any unexpended balance is shown as restricted funds at the balance sheet date. Where restricted funds are received for the acquisition of fixed assets, the funds are held as restricted until the asset is purchased. On purchase an amount equal to the cost of the asset is transferred to the fund representing tangible fixed assets. Designated funds are funds set aside by the trustees at their discretion for specific future purposes. The balance of funds representing tangible fixed assets is shown as a designated fund as such funds are unavailable for other purposes without disposing of the assets concerned. 

Trustee remuneration, benefits and expenses 

Trustees have not received remuneration or benefits from the charity. Expenses have been paid exclusively as reimbursement and classified by nature of cost in the accounts. Staff remuneration 

No employees received employer benefits exceeding £60,000. Cash Flow 

The Charity is exempt from preparing a cash flow statement.
