TRUSTEES' REPORT

REVIEW OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR

Our 2021/22 year has seen us continue our growth and the range of support we offer to our members.

The charity continued to support over 1,000 young adults through our free and immediate support offers. Bazaar: A Market for the Mind continues to be the main provider of this support. On average helping to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression in our members by more than 60%. 92% of our members say that they would be worse off without the help of Open Door. We have also continued to support families struggling with stress through our colours programme.

Due to highly positive feedback from both the children we look after and the local council, we have renewed our OOMOO proposition for a third year. This ground-breaking service has been nationally recognised for its ability to support children who are looked after through physical and creative activities.

As planned, this year has seen us take great strides forward to creating our vision of a mental health and wellbeing centre for the Wirral through the Joy programme. We have completed extensive engagement sessions with the local community and relevant organisations and have received overwhelming positive feedback which has helped us shape our plans.

Another exciting development has been our agreement with Oxford university to build a bespoke offer to support both staff and students’ wellbeing. We will also be using this fantastic opportunity to enhance what we offer to the higher education sector.

To ensure we are best prepared for the next stage in our development we have completed a full strategic review and 3 year financial plan focusing on all areas of the charity. We have also fully refreshed our Bazaar: A marketplace for the mind proposition and refurbished our main site the Bloom building.

FUTURE PLANS

For the upcoming year and beyond we will be working tirelessly to both enhance what we do for our members, and reach a much wider audience by focusing on the following:

THE OPEN DOOR CHARITY ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2022

TRUSTEES' REPORT

In summary, the 2022/23 year will see the Open Door continue to enhance our offer to our members, old and new, whilst investing in our infrastructure to ensure we are fit to grow profitably over the next 3 years whilst minimizing risk.

GOING CONCERN

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the twelve months from authorising these financial statements, including taking into account the risks of inflation and economic downturn. The trustees assess the charity to be a going concern based on review of financial performance of the current year to date, the management accounts forecast for the remainder of the current financial year, and longerterm plans and forecasts for 2024 and beyond. As a result, the trustees are satisfied that these accounts can be prepared on a going concern basis.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

As at 31 October 2022, the charity had reserves of £340,453 (2021: £265,466). Included within these reserves are £56,704 (2021: £Nil) of restricted funds (see note 18). Included within unrestricted funds are fixed assets totaling £45,324 (2021: £57,865) (see note 10 and note 11). These funds can only be realised upon the sale of these assets. The charity had free reserves of £238,425 as at 31 October 2022 (2021: £207,601).

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to cover three month’s expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

I report to the trustees on our examination of the accounts for the year ended 31[st] October 2022.

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’). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  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.

THE OPEN DOOR CHARITY ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2022

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution adopted 21 November 2011 as amended 26 February 2013, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements 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 Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts and as detailed in the Trustees’ report the Trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

THE OPEN DOOR CHARITY ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] OCTOBER 2022

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for an an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.

Expenditure on charitable activities related to the operation of the charity comprising of direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company. Support and governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report. These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charity.

1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Website Development 25% straight line

1.7 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements 20% straight line Venue equipment 20% straight line Fixtures and fittings 20% straight line Computers 33.33% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

1.9 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
