## **Statement of Trustees's Responsibilities** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of  the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) . 

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :- 

- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

- select suitable accounting policies and 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 business; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. 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. 

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity on pages 10 to 26 for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and  with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations,  as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2015 (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 16. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner** 

As described on page 6, the charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of  the accounts. 

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of  Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in  the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, theTrustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under any legal provision, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:- 

a) examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act; 

b) follow the procedures in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and; 

- c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion** 

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above , in connection with my examination, I can confirm that :- 

This  is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act  and in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable; 

and that  no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination  which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :- 

to keep accounting records in accordance with   with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011; 

when preparing accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts; 

have been prepared in accordance with The Charities Act 2011. and with the methods and principles set out in the FRS102 Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2016) 

have not been met or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached;

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_ 

## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW)  ,effective January 2016, (The SORP), and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016)  in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. 

## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_ 

## **Nature of income** 

Donations represent contributions from individuals and other donors. 

## **Categories of Income** 

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income. 

**Income from exchange transactions** is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. There was no such income during the year. 

**Income from a non-exchange transaction** is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange. 

## **Income recognition** 

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably. 

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met. 

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs. 

## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_ 

## **Volunteers** 

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. 

However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note4. 

## _**Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.**_ 

## _**Tangible fixed assets**_ 

There were no fixed assets or movement of fixed assets during the year. 

## **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions for liabilities and charges are recognised and measured according to the usual conventions applicable to accruals accounting.

## **ALIVE FOODBANK** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **Liability to taxation** 

## **2** 

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity** 

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023** 

## **4 The contribution of volunteers** 

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that  no contract  of employment  is created  by these arrangements. 

No employees received emoluments (excluding pension costs) in excess of £60,000 per annum. 

## **5 Remuneration and payments to Trustees and persons connected with them** 

During the year, no trustee received payment under a contract of employment.
