Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities

The objectives of the charity are the relief of unemployment or financial hardship for the benefit of the public in such ways as may be thought fit including: (a) the facilitation and provision of services to deliver economic and employment opportunities; (b) to provide the necessary support for individuals to be self-sufficient and able to generate a sustainable income, either through assisting them to find employment or supporting them in self-employment.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.

Strategic report

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

The charity’s key achievements were supporting 464 people over the year, with employment, training and business support.

Employment

We had a significant increase in the demands for our employment services with many individuals being impacted by Covid19. Substantial advice was provided to individuals about the Government’s Covid19 support packages available to them.

Our employment support includes comprehensive individual careers advice and a psychometric aptitude skills test, helping people identify their unique skills sets and career potential. Additionally, we provide support with CV writing, job applications and interview skills and provide follow up advice and guidance once a beneficiary has found a job.

Training

As soon as the effect of Covid19 and lockdowns was realised we identified a range of online courses with a focus on office skills such as Microsoft Office package including Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. We also identified an online bookkeeping course, computerised accounting for business. We were able to offer this at no cost due to Covid19 support from the Local Authority and National Government schemes.

A number of courses in Photoshop and Web building were delivered over zoom and we have recently completed a carers’ course for 20 individuals to help them move into the adult social care sector.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

We also provided a substantial amount of digital support for individuals with limited computer skills and received a grant of 20 tablet devices and a small number of laptops which we were able to distribute to participants who didn’t have computers or internet access in their homes.

196 people enrolled on our training courses and all were supported throughout to ensure they received the maximum benefit from them.

Business Support

52 local businesses were supported with mentoring and advice. We have developed a wide range of business training courses to help businesses with sales, marketing and accounting. We also ran a number of business support workshops and networking events to help business owners share tips and insights.

General Overview

The charity has maintained strong partnerships with Local Authorities and statutory services to ensure the local Community had access to mainstream support and that these services understood the specific needs and requirements of our clients. The charity is proud of how these relationships have flourished over the year and has added real value to the work of the organisation.

We have also partnered with organisations which deliver similar services to learn best practice, share resources and minimise duplication.

As a result of the charity’s work, families are able to be self-sufficient, have the confidence and self-esteem that they are providing for their families and not have to rely on Government welfare support for daily living expenses. This as a whole enhances the general community spirit with residents having increased motivation and aspirations and are able themselves to give back through volunteering and mentoring to the more disadvantaged in the community

Financial review

During the period the charity received £8,582 in donations, £113,843 in grants and income of £1,730 from the provision of services. There was a surplus for the period of £43,050 which has been earmarked for the refurbishment of the charity’s premises.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting grant making policy for the year.

Plans for future periods

In order to promote our objectives and activities in the coming year, we plan to undertake a major refurbishment of our premises which will enable us to offer an enhanced service to the community.

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors' Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

Our premises are situated in the heart of the local Community and we have plans to split the building into 2 parts, one part for the community to use for communal activities and one part specifically for economic support. This will include workspace for people starting out in business but don’t want the overheads of offices, a computer suite for people who need internet access for job searching and online training and a training area for classroom based learning and group sessions.

We have been very fortunate to have received extensive support for this project and have already secured significant funding for us to proceed.

Having a purpose built centre will improve the resources and services we are able to offer the community and provide a focal point in the community for those looking for work, training and business support.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE JEWEL FOUNDATION

Year ended 31 March 2021

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of THE JEWEL FOUNDATION ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Sedgley Community Hub, Bishops Road, Prestwich, Manchester, M25 0HT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

THE JEWEL FOUNDATION

Registered Charity - Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 33% straight line
Portacabin - 15% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

THE JEWEL FOUNDATION

Registered Charity - Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The Company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. In the event of winding up, the members are liable to an amount not exceeding £10.
