The names of the present Trustees and Secretary are set out on page 1. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** 

Trustees are recruited from those with an interest in and knowledge of health and social care. The charity advertises its Trustee positions both online and through contacting existing referrers to the charity. 

Trustees are appointed for a term of 3 years after which time they can be reappointed for two further three-year terms. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice applicable to smaller charities. 

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 Incoming resources and applications of the resources of the Charity during the year and of Its state of affairs at the end of the period. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is Inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation. 

The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Charity, and which enable them to ascertain its financial position and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the Trust Deed. 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.

## **Objectives and Activities for the Public Benefit** 

The objects of the Trust are wide, as defined in the constitution and are for: 

- The prevention or relief of poverty in the city of Manchester by providing grants and items to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. 

- The prevention or relief of poverty of persons in the city of Manchester, city of Salford and borough of Trafford who are sick, convalescent, disabled or infirm by providing grants and items to individuals in need and/or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty. 

This is achieved through the giving of grants to both individuals and organisations. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant-making policy for the period. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

This was the first full year of operation of the CIO. In the financial year, 251 applications were received, of these 213 were considered by the Trustees, the remainder being ineligible.  149 grants were awarded to individuals with £41,505 distributed, the majority of these being white goods. £25,168 was distributed in group grants to 8 organisations. 

In addition, the Trustees have undertaken a program of 9 visits to key organisations, who received group funds in 2021/2 and 2022/3. Two Trustees visited each of the organisations and a formal report was written and shared with the full Board of Trustees. 

## **Future Plans** 

The Trustees remain committed to strengthening the Board of Trustees and have successfully recruited 2 new Trustees who will take up their positions in the next financial year. 

A skills audit will be completed during the next 12 months to ensure the Board identifies any further areas that will need to be strengthened. 

The Trustees have identified that the Charity’s work needs to be expanded across the range of frontline services helping people in poverty in Manchester. In the next 6 months a comprehensive piece of work will be completed to identify and promote the Charity’s work with as many statutory and voluntary organisations across the region, to ensure as many support workers as possible can refer their clients to Manchester Relief In Need for help.

## **Independent Examiners’ Report to the Trustees of Manchester Relief in Need** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 September 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 17. 

This report is made solely to the Charity’s Trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My Independent Examiner’s 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 Independent Examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to 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 accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Manchester Relief in Need** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2023** 

## **Note 1: Accounting Policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a) Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2016. 

Manchester Relief in Need CIO 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 notes. 

## **b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

Having considered projections for income and expenditure in the next 12 months the trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties to allow the charity to continue as a going concern. 

## **c) Income** 

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

Donations are recognised when the charity receives the funds. 

## **d) Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. 

Endowment funds represent donations and legacies received whereby the capital must be retained but an income arising from these investment may be used for the objects of Manchester Relief in Need. 

## **e) Expenditure** 

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 recognised reliability. 

All expenditure is shown inclusive of VAT. 

## **f) Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back-office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs. Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

## **g) Investments** 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date of the market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the period. 

## **h) Debtors** 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. 

8 



Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **h) Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probable 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 provision re normally recognised at their settle met amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **i) Corporation Tax** 

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. 

## **j) Key estimates and accounting judgements** 

In applying the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The Trustees’ judgements, estimates and assumptions are based on the best and most reliable evidence available at the time when the decisions are made and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be applicable. Due to the inherent subjectivity involved in making such judgements, estimates ad assumptions, the actual results and outcomes may differ. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to the 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 revision and future periods, if the revision affects both current and future periods."
