Report of the trustees

St Anne's House operations

Community Resilience Fund

We secured £75,000 for improvements to SAH from BCCs community resilience fund, chosen by the communities in Area 5. This will be put towards improving our access, fire doors and preparing the ground floor kitchen space for a community cafe tenant.

New tenants and enterprise

St Annes House lease

A five year lease agreement was entered in to for St Anne's House from Bristol City Council, starting December 2024, with no break on the main building and rear car park, but a three month break on the front and side car park after nine months.

We pushed multiple times to have our proposal for a long term Community Asset Transfer go to BCC CAT panel before the local elections and change of local government (from mayoral to committee system), but due to the complexities of the case, including the ownership sitting with the Housing Revenue Account, this did not happen.

Discussions are ongoing to secure the long term of the site.

St Anne's House long term

Architecture 00 commissioned to produce a viability study on various uses of St Anne's House, to aid ongoing conversations with BCC on long term use.

Risks

A risk and finance committee has been formed as a subcommittee of the board of trustees.

This group will meet three times a year and includes the CEO, Head of Operations, Head of Finance, Treasurer, and two other trustees. The meeting reviews three risk registers for Finance, the Organisation and Operations. The risk reviews and meeting minutes are then reported to the entire board.

The most recent meeting of this committee identified the highest risk was the charity’s failure to raise adequate reserves according to its reserves policy.

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

Financial review

Total income for 2024 was £307,705 (2023: £183,113). Total expenditure for 2024 was £235,308 (2023: £191,320).

Total reserves have therefore increased to £66,515 (2023: -£5,882), of which £66,002 is restricted (2023: £13,471), and £513 is unrestricted (2023: -£19,353).

Reserves policy

Bricks aim to raise three months' employment costs and three months' overheads in reserves which is calculated at approximately £80,000. Bricks is planning to raise this amount over the next three years. For the reasons set out in note 1b to the accounts, the trustees consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Structure, governance and management

During this period we carried out a strategic board review, including a skills and experience audit, then used that as a basis to run an open recruitment process (launched 25 March 2024), which culminated in 7 new board members officially joining just after this period in June 2024.

We also agreed the setting up of the following subcommittees, to strengthen our governance:

Appointment and retirement of trustees

In accordance with Bricks Constitution we followed the following procedure:

Report of the trustees

For the year ended 31 March 2024

The law applicable to charities in England and 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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charity for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Members of the charity are not required to contribute any amounts to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

Independent examiners

Godfrey Wilson Limited were appointed as independent examiners to the charity during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the CIO’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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

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

For the year ended 31 March 2024

1. Accounting policies

a) General information and basis of preparation

Bricks is an charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales. The registered office address is St. Anne's House, St. Anne's Road, St. Anne's Park, Bristol, BS4 4AB.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Bricks meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b) Going concern basis of accounting

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. Bricks CIO continues to raise income for its charitable aims post year end.

In February 2024 a new Head of Finance role was created which has focused on regular management accounts which project a break-even position for the charity’s activities, and have modelled a reserves building strategy over the coming three years. Head of Operations and Head of Programme (St Anne's House) roles were also filled in the year which have focused on cost efficiencies and fundraising and have been working closely with the Head of Finance role and CEO.

A Finance and Risk Subcommittee of the board of trustees was formed which looks in detail at thrice yearly forecasts and budget risks.

Post year end, rental income at St Anne’s House has continued to be robust, with new tenants.

A Fundraising and Income Subcommittee has also been convened bringing together SMT with trustees with funding and income generating expertise. This subcommittee takes a strategic and oversight role to Bricks fundraising plans and are commissioning an external fundraising consultant to support revenue fundraising plan and bids in early 2025.

The charity’s trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from the government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Bricks

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

c) Income (continued)

Income received in advance of provision of contracted services is deferred until criteria for income recognition are met.

d) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

e) Funds accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

g) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity, including the costs of complying with constitutional and statutory requirements and any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities based on the proportion of staff time as follows: 2024 2023 Raising funds 31.0% 29.2% Charitable activities 69.0% 70.8%

h) Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Computer equipment

3 years

i) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

j) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Bricks

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 31 March 2024

k) Creditors

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

l) Financial instruments

The trust 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 bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

m) Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. There are no further liabilities other than that already recognised in the SOFA.

n) Accounting estimates and key judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are depreciation as described in note h above.
