Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021

Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To preserve and protect the physical and mental health of those suffering Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, their families, carers and support workers by providing a respite holiday in specifically adapted caravans and monthly support sessions.

The charity's main activities

We provide respite breaks for people living with Alxheimer's and other forms of dementia in order to reduce isolation and loneliness and improve the quality of life.

Our vision is to purchase more than one retreat by 2025 and provide up to 60 holidays per year.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance

Gwennie's Getaways have had a very successful year. With the money raised and donated we have been able to offer both the memory cafe service and the respite holidays to a very high standard. We were unsure how things would go since coming back after the pandemic but we are doing extremely well and hope to continue this success into 2023.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £14,031, including net income of £2,974 on unrestricted funds and net income of £11,057 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

Using the strict definition of reserves - unrestricted net assets of the charity less the value of fixed assets (ie sums which are not readily realisable), this means that the charity had liabilities of £20,927. However, this is after accounting for long term liabilities in the form of a hire purchase agreement, repayable over 7 years and also the value of a loan made to the charity by Ruddi's Retreat which is repayable as and when the charity is in a position to repay.

The budget for the year ending 31 December 2022 shows a surplus of approximately £7,500 after accounting for hire purchase servicing. This should enable the charity to pay off part of the loan from Ruddi's Retreat.

In terms of going concern, given the positive future cash flows anticipated, the trustees do not consider that there are any uncertainties so significant to cast doubt over the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.

Approved by the board of trustees on 5/10/2022

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Gwennie's Getaways

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3 the accounts do 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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

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 financial statements 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) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year.

The accounts for the previous year have been restated in respect of a caravan purchase and hire purchase agreement, neither of which were included in the previous year's accounts. The effect of the change has been to increase the previous year's fixed assets by £25,694 and to increase the current liabilities by £21,614 and to increase the long term liabilities by £9,159.

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, 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 charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.

Expenditure and liabilities

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

Taxation

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives. Caravans: over 7 years

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.
