## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Structure, Governance and Appointment of Trustees:**
Any responsible person from the local community is entitled to nominate new Trustees. Trustees are elected by annual vote. The Treasurer is elected at the Annual General Meeting. The other Trustees are elected at the first committee meeting which is held immediately after the Annual General Meeting.
## **Organisational Structure**
The Charity is controlled by the Trustees. Trustees during the year are detailed on page 1. The Trustees and Treasurer are non-paid volunteers.
The day-to-day operation of the Charity is delegated to the Business Development Manager Mrs Jessica Wells. There is a quarterly meeting of the Trustees where management and financial matters together with charity issues are discussed. The Chairman, Treasurer and certain other Trustees are regularly available to assist the Charity.
## **Objectives and Activities**
In setting objectives and planning for activities the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance given by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit.
The main objective of the Charity is to benefit the older residents of Farnham and the surrounding area by the organisation and management of a day centre and provision of necessary services.
The Charity offers a meeting place and provides a range of services for senior citizens including recreational activities, therapeutic services, lunch and bathing facilities. However during the year and because of the coronavirus pandemic the Day Centre has been closed although the Community Meals Service continues to operate.
## **Achievements and performance**
The trustees report in the financial year 2019-20 ended by stating that a great deal of uncertainty lay ahead as a consequence of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic. That was indeed the case and further lockdowns during the year. In January 2021, the Government introduced a further lockdown with a road map for coming out of it over a 5 month period by the easing of restrictions. Also, what has proven to be a successful vaccination programme, has meant that the trustees and staff have been able to constructively plan for the re-opening of the Day Centre with pilot events scheduled for May, leading to full re-opening in June 2021.
As mentioned in our report last year and to mitigate our financial losses, the redundancy of existing Day Centre staff was completed in the second half of 2020. This included the loss of our long serving Centre Manager – Maggie Groves. We owe Maggie a huge thank you for all she has done for Brightwells over many years and once we are “back to normal” we hope to mark her contribution in a special way. Our transport was either sold or returned to the leasing company, again, to conserve our finances.
Trustees have either met in person or virtually throughout the year to develop a strategy for re-opening the Day Centre. Mrs Jessica Wells was appointed as the Business Development Manager to undertake this task. She has done an excellent job in helping to reset our business. We have had to develop new ways of operating in a Covid secure environment and learnt the importance of networking with other like-minded organisations in the Farnham community. The appointment of an external company to advise us on Human Resources and Policies and the appointment of an external book-keeper to manage our day to day finances and payroll, has also proven to be invaluable and cost effective. Our Treasurer has been instrumental in providing the trustees with sound financial forecasts to ensure the correct decisions are taken for the long term benefit of the charity.
That all said – as we begin to re-open the Day Centre we will undoubtedly be operating very differently. More focused on how we deliver our services and who we deliver it to.
Throughout the pandemic the delivery of our Community Meals Service has continued. Approaching 4.500 meals have been delivered in the year to date. Providing this home delivery service has been crucial to the well-being to some the most vulnerable and isolated in our community. Not only in the nourishing meals we provide but also in reducing their isolation by having a friendly conversation and checking on their general welfare. This has been achieved in a Covid secure environment – which has meant we have had to radically change the way we operated both within the kitchen and the delivery of the meals by our volunteers. The trustees give a huge thank you to Jessica, all the kitchen staff, the CMS co-ordinator and volunteers who have made this possible.
We are extremely grateful to Waverley Borough Council and Farnham Town Council for their continued support financially to help us continue to deliver the Community Meals and working in partnership with us to develop our plans for re-opening the Day Centre.
During the year some trustees have resigned – regrettably all for Covid related reasons. We have welcomed new trustees to the Board. This year, more than any other year perhaps, as Chairman may I say how particularly grateful and proud of the way trustees, staff and volunteers have supported Brightwells Gostrey during the most difficult time in our history.

## **BRIGHTWELLS GOSTREY CENTRE**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- •select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- •observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102).
- •make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
•state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
•prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **BRIGHTWELLS GOSTREY CENTRE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **Basis of preparation:**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The accounts 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 July 2014
and with the Charities Act 2011.
The CIO constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102
## **Changes to accounting estimates**
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period
## _**Material prior period errors**_
No material prior year error have been identified in the reporting period
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **INCOME**
## _**Recognition of Income**_
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
- the CIO becomes entitled to the income;
- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Grants and Donations**_
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
## _**Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts**_
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
## _**Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants**_
This is only included in the SoFA once the CIO has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
## _**Government Grants**_
The CIO has received government grants in the reporting period
## _**Volunteer Help**_
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Trustees' annual report.
## _**Income from interest, royalties and dividends**_
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
## _**Investment Gains and Losses**_
This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
The CIO has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories.
## _**Liability Recognition**_
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the CIO to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## _**Governance and Support Costs**_
Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.

## **BRIGHTWELLS GOSTREY CENTRE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## _**Grants Payable without Performance Conditions**_
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor CIO to realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be recognised.
## _**Employee benefits**_
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
## _**Redundancy cost**_
The CIO made nine redundancy payments during the reporting period.
## _**Deferred income**_
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
## _**Creditors**_
The CIO has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.
## _**Provisions for liabilities**_
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date
## _**Fixed Assets**_
These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the CIO on receipt.
## _**Depreciation Expense**_
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on a straight line basis over 3 years from the month they are purchased.
## _**Stocks and work in progress**_
Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value.
## _**Debtors**_
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the CIO. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

## **13. RISK ASSESSMENT**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the CIO faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
## **14. RESERVES POLICY**
The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.
## **15. PUBLIC BENEFIT**
The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the CIO Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above Charitable Incorporated Organisation ("the CIO") for the year ended 31 March 2021
As the CIO's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts 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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- · the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did 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.
