Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.
Para 1.17 and
1.19
We are Carterton Family Centre a local charity
which opened in March 2017 following the
closure of our Local Authority run Children’s
Centre.
The need we are addressing is to provide a
‘hub’ for families, we need this because
Carterton is a transient town with a high
number of service families and several parents
who suffer with social isolation often leading to
low mood and depression. We also have a
number of mums, in particular, who suffer with
social anxiety.
We provide sessions throughout the week for
children aged 0 to 5yrs and their parents or
carers and a session for local childminders.
Work continued on the building refurbishment
which was delayed due to the impact of Covid.
Covid also impacted upon delivery and both
staff members were furloughed during this
period of time.
Our work with Airplay, which is the youth
provision in the town has continued offering
sessions for children and young people aged 5
to 18yrs, but again in different premises.
During periods of lockdown online sessions
have been offered via Airplay Connect.
In Oct 20 a grant was secured for a street based
youth work project for 3 years and we
employed two youth workers to deliver the
project. With Covid restrictions in place the
youth workers worked with young people in
Carterton Community College delivering group
work and one to one mentoring, specifically
targeting young people identified by the
college and the police as being the most
vulnerable. Once restrictions were lifted the
workers provided group work sessions for
vulnerable girls, walking & talking sessions for
teenagers, and detached youth work sessions.
We know that the sessions we provide make a
difference to people’s lives. We are privileged
to see people’s lives change as a result of
coming to the centre. A key issue that we try to
address is to see a reduction in social isolation.
Following consultation with families in
Carterton our aim is to be able to develop our
work in the areas of:
• Supporting and improving mental health
• Supporting and improving physical health

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.
Para 1.20 Completion of the building refurbishment.
Recruitment of youth workers.
Development of the youth project for
teenagers.
The difference we have made with the youth
work project has been identified through the
Anti-Social Behaviour meetings where
Carterton now has no young people of concern
to the police because youth workers have
engaged with those young people.
The YP say:
They have a sense of belonging to their town.
Having somewhere to go with activities is really
helpful to them.
Having youth workers to talk to has helped
them.
Parents of the YP have also reported being very
impressed with the quality of the youth work
and grateful that their teenagers have
somewhere to go and workers to talk to.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Carterton Family Centre

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31[st] March 2021 which are set out below.

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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 which would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

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 of a) to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, have not been met.

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

Notes to the financial statements

For the period ending 31[st] March 2021

1. Accounting policies

a. Basis of accounting.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16[th] July 2014 and the Charities Act 2011. The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.

b. Going concern.

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Trust’s ability to continue as a going concern.

c. Change of accounting policy.

The previous year’s accounts were prepared on a receipts and payments basis. Due to the level of income received the current accounts has been prepared on an income and expenditure accrual basis.

d. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

e. Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Income resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.

Page 8 of 10

Carterton Family Centre Charity number: 1175596

f. Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy and legal fees. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Carterton Family Centre

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 31[st] March 2021 which are set out below.

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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 which would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.

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 of a) to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the Act, have not been met.

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

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

e. Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.

Investment income is included when receivable.

Income resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.

f. Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:

Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include accountancy and legal fees. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
