Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document
Para 1.17 To provide facilities for the daily care,
recreation, and education of children during
out of school hours and school holidays and to
advance education, promote the preservation
and protection of good health and relieve the
effects of poverty amongst residents of
Carterton, Oxfordshire and the surrounding
areas.
To relieve the needs of children, young people
and their families by the provision of services
particularly those aimed at promoting good
health, relieving poverty and helping people
meet their own needs in society.
To promote for the benefit of the inhabitants
of Carterton, Oxfordshire and the surrounding
area the provision of facilities for recreation or
other leisure time occupation of individuals
who have need of such facilities by reason of
their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial
hardship or social circumstances with the
object of improving their condition of life.
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
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. Including new mums’ group, baby
sensory group and toddler drop-in’s. We have a
community café which runs alongside our
sessionsprovidingaffordable snacks for
families.
We also provide a tea time club for single
parents or families with a parent working away
from home.
We recently changed the layout of a portion of
our hall to include seating for the café, a pool
table and table football. We did this to support
our work with Airplay who run sessions for 5 to
18yr olds. This change of space also supports
our own youth workers who are now running a
youth café after school one afternoon a week.
Our own youth workers are also offering
various targeted groups for young people and
some street based youth work.
We are now also working alongside APCAM a
local charity offering services to children with
mental health issues and their parents. They
offer a weekly drop-in day for parents and one
day a week they offer individual counselling
sessions to young people referred to them.
They also offer a monthly evening group for
parents and a monthly afternoon drop in for
young people.
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.

had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit

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 2022 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.

d. 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.

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:

Notes to the financial statements

For the period ending 31[st] March 2022

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. 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.

d. 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.

e. 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.

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.
