Public benefit statement
The trustees understand that public benefit reporting is fundamental to our responsibilities in governance of the charity. For Luminary Ltd the public benefit focuses on the women, described in our objects, for whom the charity was established and who continue to be central to everything we do.
Following referral from one of our partner organisations, Luminary provides women with a four-part development programme. First, women enrol on a six month Employability Training Programme where they learn technical baking skills and other transferable life and employability skills, whilst building relationships and growing their network. Then women move onto the second phase, which is a six month Progression Support Programme, where there is further face-to-face training with a focus on employability skills. Following these two stages the women graduate from the baking course and employability programme. The third stage is being paired with a volunteer mentor for a further six months, and the final six months includes continued one-to-one support with an allocated progression support worker, taking part in work experience and being able to apply for paid work within the Luminary Bakery business or with our partner organisations.
Our aim for each woman is that she reaches a specified ‘threshold’ of Independence and Employment outcomes before the end of our full programme. Focussing on the areas of: Money, Relationships, Work, Housing & Wellbeing, we assist women to grow in managing situations independently, and identify where they need specialist support.

Main achievements in period to 31 October 2022
-
We were delighted to launch our Involvement strategy this year, a new area of work designed to place the voices of our trainees and graduates at the heart of our structure and decision making. We hired a graduate as our ‘Involvement Champion’ to lead on this area of work. Our Involvement Champion launched our Advisory Panel - a membership panel of ten trainees, graduates and alumni who advise our staff, leadership and governing boards on key areas of our work. Our work is richer and more attuned to the needs of women as a result of their insights.
-
We welcomed a Luminary milestone: the highest attendance and retention rate in Luminary history. In preparation for the working world, a key feature of our training is helping women to nurture their capacity to keep to time and attend consistently. All of the trainees work incredibly hard to improve in this area. This year, four cohorts demonstrated remarkable dedication - exceeding their target of 80% with a combined attendance rate of 97% in Phase One and 95% in Phase Two.
-
Across the 16 cohorts Luminary supported this year, independence measurements increased dramatically, and on average each cohort saw a progression of 29% during their time with us.
-
We published a briefing paper entitled ‘Employability Essentials: what women really need to learn to develop readiness for work and maximise their employability.’ Written as an offering to the employability sector, detailing the core pillars that uphold our work on employability and shape our training curriculum. We make recommendations for the essential content that should be included in an employability curriculum for organisations and education providers who are training adults who have experienced trauma and consistent unemployment.
-
We began a new area of progression support for Luminary women: The Lifelong Learning Fund. Set up in memory of our beloved late chair Dr Sally Beckwith, this fund provides support for Luminary graduates and alumni who are keen to continue their learning beyond the Luminary programme, providing women with funding to access training opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach.

Trustees’ Annual Report
Year Ended 31 October 2022
Financial review (including reserves policy)
It has been a stable financial year for Luminary, with total funds remaining positive at the year end despite a drop in annual income and increase in expenditure. In the prior year there was a lower level of expenditure due to the ongoing impacts of Covid-19 on the ability to run the training programmes, but this year has seen a return to our standard delivery model and more usual patterns of expenditure. Total income for the year decreased by 9% to £288,915 (2021: £316,950) and total expenditure for the year increased by 28% to £435,468 (2021: £340,621). This resulted in a net outflow in the year of £146,533 (2021:£23,671). Net outflow from restricted funds was £29,951 (2021: £42,216) and from unrestricted funds there was a net outflow of £116,602 (2021: net income of £18,545). There has been a concerted effort in the year to generate more unrestricted funds, as these give greater financial autonomy, allowing us to utilize the funds for optimal functioning of the charity.
Funding comes from a variety of sources, including grants, one-off donations and loans. The most significant single source of funding is from the National Lottery, who gave grants totalling £76,586 (2021: £153,172) in the year.
Reserves policy:
Luminary defines reserves as “an allotment of unrestricted funds which can be spent on any purposes of the charity”. It is the policy of the charity that reserves should be maintained at a level equivalent to three months’ core expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that Luminary can continue the charity’s current activities in the event of a drop in funding whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds can be raised. There was a reduction in the reserves in the year as expenditure exceeded income, but Luminary remains committed to building up its reserves, and achieving and then maintaining the level of reserves is a key objective of the charity. When funds are available, monthly transfers are made to the reserves, and based on current projections it is expected that the reserves level will be achieved in 2027.
Future plans
In the coming year Luminary aims to build on the current success of our programmes and to welcome a new cohort of women onto the first stage of our programme. We intend to utilise this year to continue to work positively and meaningfully with the women we support, consolidate our learning, invest in staff, systems and structures, and increase our impact.

Year Ended 31 October 2022
Structure of the Trustee Board
During the year the role of Chair of Trustees was rotated through the current Trustees whilst a process was undertaken to recruit a new Chair of Trustees, following the loss of the previous Chair, Dr Sally Beckwith in February 2021. The Chair and Trustee opportunities were advertised on our website and on Social Media. All applications were screened and then a number shortlisted. All potential candidates received feedback or notification of the outcome of their application. Those shortlisted were interviewed in person and a minimum of two trustees discussed and agreed their appointment. Following this process Louise Quy was appointed as Chair of Trustees on 28 October 2022.
Following the year-end there has been recruitment of additional Trustees to the Board to further enhance the skill set and knowledge of the Board of Trustees. 7 new trustees were appointed on 20 June 2023, following a recruitment and selection process which involved input from our newly established Advisory Panel of graduates of our programmes.
Arrangements for setting remuneration of key management
The remuneration for key management staff is reviewed each autumn by a staffing subgroup of the Trustee Board but agreed at a Board meeting.
Relationships with related parties with which the charity co-operates in pursuit of its charitable objectives
Luminary Limited has an intercompany agreement with a separate but linked business enterprise, Luminary Bakery Ltd.
Luminary Limited (Charity) and Luminary Bakery Ltd (the Company) have a close relationship that goes beyond the Charity’s shareholding in the Company, and extends to include, for example, sharing of staff, premises, social media and certain costs and expenses. Operationally the two entities have separate Boards, but one Luminary Limited trustee represents the interests of the Charity on the Board of Luminary Bakery. Additionally, a second Luminary Limited trustee acts as an observer to Luminary Bakery Board meetings.
Major Risks
An operational risks group of three trustees is in place to review the risk register and other operational matters. We have been guided by the Charity Commission guidance with regard to risk.
Where we have identified a risk, we have assessed it to enable us to decide the level of priority that should be applied, action taken to prevent the risk and mitigating actions we should take in responding to it. This assessment takes account of the following:
-
the impact of the risk (the harm)
-
the likelihood of the risk materialising
In assessing the impact, we focus on the type and level of harm that may result if the risk materialises. This includes taking into account the resources and experience of Luminary Limited. We have also recorded timescales for the risks to be reviewed on a regular basis in order that this register becomes truly a working document.

Trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees (who are also directors of Luminary Limited for the purposes of company law) 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).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 (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 charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 October 2022
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) General information and basis of preparation
Luminary Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities is the provision of bakery programmes to disadvantaged women.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
(c) Income recognition
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Donations are recognised when receivable. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Donations relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the donation relates. The deferred element of donations is included in creditors as deferred income.
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.

Luminary Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 October 2022
(d) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Costs of raising funds includes all expenditure associated with raising funds for the charity. This includes the costs of fundraising events, staff costs associated with fundraising and support costs;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs associated with furthering the charitable purposes of the charity through the provision of its charitable activities. This includes staff costs and support costs; and
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include premises costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out by the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
The analysis of these costs is included in note 5.
(e) Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a straight line basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Leasehold property – over the life of the lease
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
(f) Investments in associates
Investments in associates are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
(g) Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 October 2022
(h) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short term maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening the deposit or similar account.
(i) Creditors
Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as the result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reasonably.
Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash payment where such discounting is material.
(j) Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
(k) Pensions
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the SoFA when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in other creditors as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in an independently administered fund.
(l) Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
(m) Government grants
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102. Grants relating to expenditure on tangible fixed assets are credited to profit or loss at the same rate as the depreciation on the assets to which the grant relates. The deferred element of grants is included in creditors as deferred income.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the same period as the related expenditure.
(n) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Year Ended 31 October 2022
(o) Going concern
Finding new sources of funding and income remains a key challenge for the charity, noting that the existing National Lottery funding ends in 2022. However, with the appointment of a dedicated fundraiser to the staff team, Luminary has secured numerous new grants and the pipeline of funding for the 2023 and 2024 financial years is very positive. The trustees have considered the levels of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient for the charity to be able to continue its operations for the next 12 months. On the basis of the above, the accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis.

Dear Sirs
The following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience such as we consider necessary in connection with your independent examination of the charitable company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2022. These enquiries have included inspection of supporting documentation where appropriate and are sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can make each of the following representations. All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.
General
-
1 We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.

-
3 We confirm that the charitable company was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 31 October 2022 audited. We also confirm that the members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the financial year in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
4 We have fulfilled our responsibilities as directors / trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter dated 5 December 2018, under the Companies Act 2006 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you.
-
5 All the transactions undertaken by the charitable company have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.
-
6 All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination. We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the charitable company, and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission.
-
7 The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.
-
8 The effects of uncorrected misstatements (as set out in the appendix to this letter) are immaterial both individually and in total.
Assets and liabilities
-
9 The charitable company has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charitable company’s assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.
-
10 All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate.
-
11 We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and where relevant the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.
-
12 We confirm that an amount due from Luminary Bakery Limited as at 31 October 2022 amounting to £11,560 is fully recoverable and correctly stated as being due within one year.
Accounting estimates
- 13 Significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, including those measured at fair value, are reasonable.
Loans and arrangements
- 14 The charitable company has not granted any advances or credits to, or made guarantees on behalf of, directors other than those disclosed in the financial statements.

Subsequent events
- 18 All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
Going concern
- 19 We believe that the charitable company’s financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charitable company’s needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
Grants and donations

Yours faithfully
