Aims, objectives and activities
Aims, objectives and intended impacts
Objects:
The Olton Project CIO (TOP) is established to promote benefit to the inhabitants of Solihull and the surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, race or of political or other opinions, by associating together the residents and the local authorities, voluntary or other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.
The TOP aims to advance the religion of Islam in Solihull and the surrounding areas for the benefit of the public to enlighten others about the Muslim religion.
In furtherance of these objects but not otherwise, the trustees shall have the power:
-
To establish or secure the establishment of a community centre and to maintain or manage or cooperate with any statutory authority in the maintenance and management of such a centre for activities promoted by the charity in furtherance of the above objects;
-
To develop an inter-agency approach for the community by encouraging joint use of TOP and by initiating inter-agency cooperation and facilities in the provision of services
-

-
To arrange and provide for or join in arranging and providing for the holding of exhibitions, meetings, lectures and classes

-
That the aims of the Charity continue to be charitable;
-
That the aims and work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need;

_______________
Review of achievements and performance for the year
The Olton Project has seen another year of successful community provision. There has been a development of infrastructure both from an employment standpoint, as well as a volunteer group. The TOP now has a Site Manager employed on a part time basis who looks after the site as well as the day-to-day running on a practical basis. The trustees also agreed upon part time employment for a manager to help with the TOP Academy from September 2022. This has allowed a greater focus on activities and there has been consistency in terms of offering a place of prayer both individual and congregational, as well as supportive activities such as; coffee mornings, leisure activities, tai chi etc.
There have been meetings with regards to additional adult education as this was an initial focus of the TOP which has been lacking over the last two years whilst concentrating on the new building site. There are ongoing works in the mid-section of the property, however, there have been disruptions with regards to swapping over of construction companies etc and this will now be given over to the Site Manager who will liaise with individual workmen and contractors to finish the job. Also, we have emphasised this year the need for regular updates of policies and each trustee has taken one policy on in order to keep regularly updated.
The TOP continues to offer a food bank service and is a place of contact for the Council and mental health services, if there are any particularly vulnerable individuals or families that need food packages or additional support. TOP was also able to financially support a local resident who was unable to afford cost of heating and utility bills for his property.
The Olton Project Academy continues to be running well and recent meetings focused on a cessation of expansion at this point and an increased focus on maintaining the quality of teaching. This included a continuing professional Development Coach who will meet with the teachers and employees on a yearly basis to look at development.
The sale of the investment land has allowed us to pay back most of the loans, the rest of which we hope to pay off in the next financial year. This has provided us much needed financial stability going into the future and to help us finish the much needed refurbishment work on the building.

Financial review
Principal sources of funding
The principal source of funding for the Charity is from individual donors within the UK, mostly locally. Financially, the Charity began operating from October 2021 onwards after the previous entity moved its operations and assets/liabilities over to this CIO. Voluntary donations and Academy fees received specifically to this CIO in the period amounted to £866,460 (2021: £829,404) including net assets transferred from the old TOP charity and net proceeds from the sale of investment land.
Costs were kept under rigid control during the year and monitored regularly.
Capital expenditure on fixed assets after the transfer of assets during the year amounted to £142,779 (2021: £27,612). Fixed assets are used for charitable purposes and enable staff and volunteers to provide an optimum service to the public.
Reserves Policy
The Charity holds unrestricted funds which have been provided to the charity via donations. The Trustees maintain sufficient cash reserves to meet on-going commitments.
The unrestricted funds represent income earned but not yet utilised in supporting charitable activities and amounted to £1,555,317 at the end of the year (2021: £787,781). At 31 March 2022, the charity held £619,449 (2021: £246,124) at the bank and in cash which represents approximately 15 years’ worth of normal running costs of the charity.
Going concern
The Charity reported a cash inflow of £373,325 (2020-21: £246,124 net inflow) for the year and expects to make an outflow in the year to 31 March 2023 due to construction work on the TOP Building expected in 2022-23 but this is expected and a planned budgeted use of funds. After making further appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.

Future plans
Also, we developed policies around behaviour and expectations between teachers and parents.
It is hoped that the curriculum will be developed and finalised over the coming academic year. It is hoped that there will be an employee who will be able to shadow the current volunteers and administration staff so that they are able to do this role fully the following academic year.
Future planning was considered with regards to the tree top hall and the use as a conference centre and flexible space. It is hoped that in the new financial year we are able to have architectural planning for this and attempt fundraising to reach this goal.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
_______________
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 and expenditure for the year. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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 all other applicable law. They 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.
Accounts preparation
The Trustees confirm that the accounts comply with current statutory requirements, and with those of the governing instrument.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 31 January 2023 and signed on their behalf, by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
_______________
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of THE OLTON PROJECT CIO
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which is set out on pages 11 to 23.
This report is made solely to the charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 and the regulations made under section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under charity law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeks explanations from the Trustees, concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
_______________
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:-
-
1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with accounting requirements of the Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- 2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

- Investment land donated on 23 December 2020 was sold to a commercial developer in the year and funds used to pay off loans owed to creditors who loaned monies when the charity was purchasing the new TOP building. The land was originally donated to the Charity by a Charity that was winding down called, The Right Start Foundation International. The revenue from the asset donated to TOP CIO from RSFI (whether by sale of the property or otherwise) was shared with two other Solihull based education charities (20% of net income) as per the terms of the donation (SIEA – paid in year and SHEP – paid after the year end). TOP CIO was entitled to 80% of the sale income (80% of £850k – leaving £680k. As the investment land was already a recognised asset valued at £100k, there was a £580k profit on sale of investment – See Note 4). Included as part of the sale of the investment land is an Overture of £10,000 per dwelling if ever constructed by the developer, of which TOP CIO would be entitled to 80% and 20% distributed to the other charities. No value has been added as this is currently not valuable for accounting purposes.
RSFI also donated all of its intellectual property rights to TOP CIO as well as a charge on a house brought about through a past legal case on a former Consultant. As the real potential of recovering any funds from this avenue is unknown, there has been no actual value attached to the assets of TOP CIO in relation to these two other transfers.
WIP Property consists of the new TOP Building that is being refurbished and undergoing significant investment in construction and redesign. It is hoped that the work will be complete by the end of 2023.

Restricted funds descriptions
RSFI Fund
The donation from RSFI was donated as restricted in its use for activities compatible to RSFI’s objectives around education. In keeping with the restricted donation guidelines, the Trustees of The Olton Project CIO, have concluded that the costs related to the Academy and Education building refurbishment, including the refurbishment costs to the Education building made in the current period, are acceptable uses of such restricted funds. This totalled £69,635 in Academy running costs and a further £140,392 spent in the current year on refurbishment costs to the Education building. The balance of the fund is expected to be used on similar costs in the forthcoming years.
