Trustees' annual report (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

Objectives and activities

The charity shall pursue such charitable purpose or purposes according to the law of England and Wales in and within the beneficial area as the club shall in its absolute discretion determine and select.

The charity aims to raise as much money as possible through fund raising activities and the charity shop to enable us to serve the community and those less fortunate than ourselves by charitable donations.

Public benefit

The Trustees confirm that due regard has been paid to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. It is considered a public benefit will be provided through the donations made by the Trust to other charities towards their charitable objectives and to those less fortunate.

Achievements and performance

The Club began to trade on 1st August 2020 when all charitable activities were transferred from Wroxham and Hoveton Lions Club Charity Trust Fund.

During the period the shop has had to temporarily close as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Club furloughed shop staff during this period and received income from Government job retention schemes.

Financial review

The Club began to trade on 1st August 2020, before which point all transactions passed through Wroxham and Hoveton Lions Club Trust Fund, charity number 280331.

Despite the unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees are satisfied with the current financial position at the end of the year with sufficient cash reserves to continue to operate at current levels of charitable activities for a period of around 12 months.

Reserves policy

At the year-end the charity's reserves were £98,748 (2020: £nil).

The Trustees aim to maintain adequate cash reserves to cover a full year's worth of expenditure in the event of a difficult period thereby ensuring funds are readily available for the charity's needs. The Trustees consider the Trust to be in a strong financial position with sufficient cash balances to ensure work within the community to continue satisfactorily.

Plans for future periods

The trustees consider all objectives were met in the last financial year and the plan for the future is to continue on the same basis.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wroxham & Hoveton Lions Club CIO

Year ended 30 June 2021

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and 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 Act; or

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

  3. the financial statements 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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wroxham & Hoveton Lions

Club CIO (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

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.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has since been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

Notes to the financial statements

Year ended 30 June 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 26 Parkland Road, Norwich, NR6 7RG, Norfolk.

2. Statement of compliance

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 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the 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 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

3. Accounting policies

(a) Grants

Grants are recognised in the year in which they are authorised, communicated and become unconditionally payable.

(b) 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.

(c) Going concern

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

(d) 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.

(e) Fund accounting

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

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

(f) 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:

(g) 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.

(h) Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

There is no value below which assets are not capitalised.

(i) 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:

Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance Motor vehicles - 25% reducing balance

Notes to the financial statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

(j) Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity 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, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

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