**playing, building relationships and accessing all support needed in a central and welcoming ‘third place’.**
## **Charitable Status**
Hidden Treasure had been operating as a CIC under the name Hidden Treasure Discovery Centre CIC and was first registered in May 2017. We began operating in April 2018 with the opening of The Hideaway in Partington Shopping Centre. Over the years that followed, the operations, community support and wraparound services delivered developed as we responded to the changing needs of our community -particularly through the covid pandemic and Cost of Living crisis.
In September 2022 we formerly registered Hidden Treasure Trust CIO as a charity with the charities commission in England and Wales, and started the process of transferring all assets and undertakings that were charitable to the charity, and maintaining the CIC as a trading subsidiary under the sole ownership of the charity. This process and transition took a number of months during the previous financial year, and the year ending June 2023 is the first full financial year in which all the charities accounts are reflected in the same set of financial statements.
## **A developing Model for Change**
Hidden Treasure Trust have created a unique model for change with an overall aim of ‘Strength for today, hope for tomorrow’. The model for change is about creating a large central resource – a community hub in which we can work together with partners and stakeholders to maximise our resources for the benefit of those in need. The model has been tried and tested, and is constantly growing, evolving and adapting to the needs of the world and community around us.
Built on a framework of love, joy, hope and equity, each hub and partners must adhere to a core belief that every person has infinite value, potential for good and equal worth.
The Hideaway play space, Hope Centre community hub and community Café/Restaurant is our front door to welcoming all people in.
From there people are encouraged to access all relevant services, groups, courses, training, resources, support and information available.
**Learning and education** – This aspect is core and begins right at our primary front door – The Hideaway. Our unique play area will be central to every hub and focusses on a huge range of early years development areas with an aim to grow children in both fine and

gross motor skills, improve speech, language and communication, help them develop social skills and enhance school readiness. Beyond Early years the addition of After school clubs, special sessions for targeted groups and in supporting the mental health of older children and teens both in-house and in local schools is a key element of our Learning and Education focus. This focus continues right through to adults and will increasingly include volunteer training and back-to-work programmes, parenting classes and groups, life skills classes and a vast range of other workshops and classes. The model offers a rolling programme of classes and courses through the family team, the Hope community team, through partners in specialist areas and through individuals offering less formal learning opportunities.
**Live Well** – This is all about helping people to make healthier choices, both practically and from a mental health perspective. It could cover support groups, life skills, basic health services, supporting local health campaigns, providing healthy food and meals, cooking and nutritional education and much more. This is a project which has been established during this financial year and is already seeing success and potential for significant growth.
**Practical provision –** This currently includes a Food Pantry which provides basic essentials which are free or affordable, and an information and advice signposting service. It also includes school uniform for all families and a free book exchange. A Household Support Fund provides immediate help and assist in emergency situations. Practical provision could also include new toys, free children’s meals during the holidays, hot meals in an emergency, co-ordination and sourcing of second-hand goods, a baby or family bank, gardening support and DIY help.
**Strengthening relationships** – Strong relationships are vital to our personal wellbeing and growth, particularly those between children and their families. We offer a range of fully accessible leisure facilities to enable families to spend fun, quality time together. In addition, we offer themed play or activity sessions, trips or weekends away, social groups and activities, family 1-1 support, prayer and social courses for fun rather than education.
**Growing resilience** – This category covers many of the areas already mentioned, but is a key focus of many of our activities. Both the Hope and Family teams at all hubs will have growing resilience as a priority, whether that’s to help families become stronger together, to increase positive health outcomes, to provide financial or budgeting support along with practical help and improve financial resilience or helping children (and in some cases adults) to grow in emotional resilience through play activities, children’s support services or parental education.

## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended June 2024
The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
## **Objectives and Activities**
Through 2023-2024 our charitable objectives have been met through the delivery and development of 4 primary projects in Partington:
- The Hideaway
- Hope Centre Partington
- Family team
- Live Well team
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on children, families and those in hardship in Greater Manchester and are undertaken to further Hidden Treasure Trust CIO’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.
The primary goals set for the year were:
- To see at least 75,000 visitors to our centre during the year
- To see 250 parents access support groups, classes or courses to improve their skills, confidence, welfare or family life
- To provide immediate practical help in the form of food or essential items to everyone in genuine need who approached us
- To develop a new ‘Live Well’ team focussed on addressing health inequalities and improving health outcomes for the local community
- To develop plans and secure funding for our second community hub located in Stockport in the heart of the 3 most deprived areas of North-West England.

## **The Hideaway**
## **Activities**
The Hideaway supports the welfare of children in Greater Manchester through the provision of a unique, educational play centre. In January 2023 to fulfil our objects of supporting the welfare of children in Greater Manchester and provide leisure and recreational facilities we became the first Pay What You Can (donation based) play centre in the UK.
All families regardless of their financial status are welcome to visit our centre and use all of our facilities free of charge. Donations where possible are welcome.
The Hideaway fulfilled our charitable objects this year through:
- Retaining our donation-based policy for all visitors to the centre. All children can visit regardless of financial status.
- Providing a large range of educational play facilities, all designed in line with the EYFS syllabus
- Running additional learning activities each day, including song time, story time, crafts and messy play.
- Hosting free parenting groups and support groups and classes for new parents, young parents, grandparents, carers, weaning groups, pre-school groups, dads wellbeing course, new dads course.
- Developing a programme of new children’s sessions including educational after-school clubs, HAF funded sessions and a home-education group.
- Creating a diverse dedicated space for older children to learn and play.
Through this year the Hideaway saw over 33,500 unique children visit the centre and benefit from all that’s on offer.
Over the coming year the Hideaway aims to:
- See a further 35,000 unique children visit the centre
- Continue providing a Pay What You Can entrance policy
- Grow our range of parenting groups and hosted groups for children, particularly for dads and kids and encouraging healthy living (such as ‘green tots’).
- Continue delivering daily activity sessions on a weekly theme to help children learn
- Pursue opportunities to expand the Hideaway, opening a second hub in another Greater Manchester area of high deprivation

## Hidden Treasure Trust CIO
- Utilise our café space better in order to benefit the wider community through social activities and access to the café.
- Develop our offer of children’s resources for families to use outside of the Hideaway. This may be through social media or practical provision.
## **Finances**
Over the coming year we anticipate maintaining similar staffing levels to continue running the additional services and wraparound care on offer at The Hideaway. We are looking for sponsors and social value investors to support the on-going maintenance costs and development of the Hideaway play space.
We have invested this year through existing staff in additional marketing and fundraising, but we recognise there is much more potential for growth which can lead to greater financial stability. Our CEO is currently partaking in an entrepreneurial training programme and will be pitching for financial investment and support in marketing during the next year.
The running of the Hideaway can at present support itself, however it does not generate enough income to cover all of the additional non-income generating services which form part of our charitable offer. Additional income generating opportunities will be considered over the next year including utilising take-away food delivery services and opening our restaurant in the evening.
## **Long term objectives**
Long term, our core objective is to take the model for change we have created and replicate this in other areas of Greater Manchester which are struggling against high levels of deprivation. Initially, this will be done under our name and charity however if the second hub is successful, we will look to develop a franchise model in which the core elements remain the same, but the model can be adapted to help other organisations in their context.
This plan for growth supports our objects in that it enables us to reach far more than the number of children who currently visit the centre. In time we hope that all children across Greater Manchester will have access to a Hideaway and all of the facilities and support available through it.

## **Hope Centre Partington**
## **Activities**
The Hope Centre is a community hub which incorporates a food pantry, a household support fund, information and advice service and second-hand school uniform for those living in high levels of deprivation and need. It supports our core objectives of relieving financial hardship both by providing immediate practical relief, and by long-term relationships addressing a holistic range of barriers which may prevent people from improving their circumstances.
In January 2024 following a 12 month trial, we made the decision to move The Hope Centre back out of the Hideaway and to its former home at the heart of the estate on Wood Lane. The original move was a cost saving exercise, but the landlord (Your Housing Group) offered to give us the building rent-free and cover bills.
Moving the Hope Centre back to its original home proved to be a good move. We were able to re-arrange the space creating a small, open café and seating area as well as a private booth for conversations. Membership to the pantry immediately increased following the move, and the new layout has provided better space for partnerships, drop-ins and community support.
In 2023/24 The Hope Centre provided:
- Memberships for 454 households representing 1400 residents
- 5178 food shops/parcels
- Over £147,000 worth of food
- 240 food bank vouchers
- £9467 of energy and vouchers
- 973 came in to ask for specific help.
When asked where they would go without the Hope Centre, 227 would have to borrow or steal, 105 would skip meals, 22 would harm themselves or see a doctor.
## **Membership**
Access to the food pantry is via annual membership. Membership is available to all Trafford residents. During the membership and renewal process, all potential members are required to have a 1-1 triage with one of our team members. During this process the applicant must explain their circumstances, and go through a formal questioning process to ensure that they have genuine need and are facing long term hardship. We work hard to balance dignity, compassion and care whilst ensuring that those in receipt of the Hope

Centre support are genuinely in need of it. This process also gives us a good opportunity to identify other areas that we may be able to support with – either internally or through referrals to partner organisations.
All who request other types of help such as energy top ups or face a range of personal issues undergo a similar triage process before help is given. This enables us to ensure that the beneficiaries are both in genuine need, that we are the most suitable organisation to provide help and that relevant referrals can also be made.
## **Finances**
The basic funding for the running of Hope Centre is secure for the next financial year, however, this, along with support from Your Housing Group covers the most basic services which are covered by the MOU agreement between ourselves, L&Q Housing and Trafford Council – our building, a centre Manager and some administrative costs. The additional staff required for the triages, running the pantry and deliveries are not covered.
Currently we receive £20,000PA from the government Household Support Fund towards the costs of emergency help provided. This is due to end on 31[st] March 2025. Further support will be dependent upon government announcements.
The Hope Centre self-generates around £20,000 per year from membership fees (£5 per year) and contributions towards food bags (pay it forward scheme available for anyone unable to contribute). The short-fall is funded through grants, business support and fundraising efforts. We have recently grown supply of regular food donations which in turn reduces our running costs.
## **Long term objectives**
The lease on the Hope Centre building was due for renewal in June 2024. Although the lease renewal details have yet to be agreed and formalised, the landlord (Your Housing Group) have agreed that we are able to keep the building rent-free while they agree the details internally. We have requested a 10 year lease with a 5 year break from the landlord and a peppercorn rent. We will seek additional partners to help fund the running of the centre, and provide finances to assist with the purchasing of food that is not donated.
As we look to grow to other sites around the city, the inclusion of practical help will be a key part of the plans for new hubs. Working closely with families and those who are vulnerable or living in poverty, it’s almost impossible to provide long-term, holistic support without first meeting the immediate practical needs you’re faced with. We will look at other provision available in an area, and ensure that future Hope Centre’s are

complimenting existing services and meeting genuine needs and not simply replicating the demand in Partington.
## **Family Team**
## **Activities**
The Family Team covers a range of services which meet our object of advancing education and strengthening family relationships. They work across both sites with all teams, ensuring that those we meet in both The Hideaway and Hope Centre have additional support available and somewhere to go in order to improve their life.
Financing the team has been a challenge this year due to council and school cuts and the challenge in accessing grant funding in the current climate. This has led to a small and hopefully temporary reduction in 1-1 support and an end to supporting the local High School in July 2024.
The Family team enable much of the groups within the Hideaway to take place and this year includes:
- Our Club SEND play session for children
- After school clubs inc. Lego Club and Minecraft club
- Who Let the Dad’s Out? Dad & kid play session
- Volunteer co-ordinator for placements and employment support
- 1-1 support sessions for struggling referred families
- Carer support group
- High school transition support
- Parenting classes
- First aid
- Life skills group
- Delivery of HAF funded sessions for the whole family
## **Finances**
Finances for this team are largely coming to an end and will impact on service delivery next year. Groups and classes and donation based which will allow most of them to continue. Additional funding will need to be found for the SEND support delivered and 1-1 help will temporarily need to halt for new case-finding.
We will continue to deliver as many groups and courses as possible ourselves as well as partner with others for them to deliver funded courses in our space. We will continue to work alongside the council who are pro-actively seeking new funding opportunities and

have requested that we become an official ‘Family Hub’ as part of the Trafford-wide family hubs network. We are hopeful that funding provision can be found over the next year, but must look to reduce services and reduce costs in the meantime.
## **Long term objectives**
The long-term objectives for this team in Partington are as follows:
- to secure additional funding and continue providing the existing services (subject to review)
- To grow our volunteer support – recruiting potential new volunteers, providing coaching and training and supporting local residents into suitable employment.
- To link in with the developing family hubs network and ensure that we are suitably placed with all stakeholders for maximum impact and partnership.
## **Live Well team**
## **Activities**
The new Live Well team focusses on delivering objectives around health and wellbeing. It recognises that health inequalities have a significant impact on quality of life and life expectancy, and aims to provide complimentary support to our local NHS services in reducing health inequalities. The long-term conditions support is NHS funded and we have been specifically approached to both deliver and co-ordinate this project on their behalf, recognising that we are in the strongest position in our community to successfully deliver this. Beginning in this financial year, the project is funded to and will initially address:
- Long-term health conditions, 1-1 support to remove barriers to addressing these
- Creating a community growing space to teach people how to grow food, and improve health and mental health
- Smoking cessation support service
- Healthy cooking classes
Looking into the next financial year we hope to incorporate addiction support services, fitness classes, increase social activities to address social isolation and provide additional 1-1 support for those who need it.
## **Beneficiaries of our services**
During the year 2023/24 the target beneficiaries of the Hope Centre services and Family Team services included families and households in poverty across Trafford borough and Greater Manchester.

## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended June 2024
At the Hope Centre, all beneficiaries of the food pantry and practical support services must be members. To become a member, individuals must undergo an application process and interview which includes checking the ID and address of the individual, and confirming the financial and employment status of the individual and evidence of any other extenuating circumstances. In this way we ensure that those in receipt of support from the Hope Centre are genuinely in need of charitable services.
At the Hideaway, families from across Greater Manchester visit the centre, with the majority of families local or from the Trafford area. Children from the region benefit from the educational play space which surveys show helps to develop the confidence, skills, social development and school readiness of visiting children. The Hideaway also provides recreational activities for children who could not otherwise afford such activities using a unique ‘Pay What You Can’ optional donation-based entrance charge.
In reviewing the performance of the charity, trustees consider the number of people who have accessed the range of services, support and activities, and compare these to the target numbers and total potential capacity. The trustees also consider feedback forms gathered, comments and surveys, case studies and a range of statistical data which is maintained as part of feeding back to grant funders.
## **Financial review**
## **The charity acquired the CIC subsidiary Hidden Treasure Discovery Centre CIC on 1 January 2023 and is exempt from preparing group consolidated accounts for the period ended 30 June 2024 as the parent and group below it qualify as small under FRS 102.**
The total income for the charity for the year was £830,792 which was made up of £767,973 from the Partington CIO, and £62,819 for the CIC trading subsidiary. The total cost of sales and expenditure for the year was £861,460 (CIO expenditure) and £55,813 (CIC) totalling £917,273. This shows a loss for the year of £93,487 in the CIO which was covered by £130,010 brought forward from the previous year.
The loss for the year includes an accrual for £34,416 for additional landlord service charges for previous years that was received in October 2024. These service charges relate to an actual meter reading by the landlord's energy provider who had previously been relying on estimates. The CIO has been making provisional payments by instalments but the final amount of the settlement is still in negotiation.

## Hidden Treasure Trust CIO
## Trustees’ annual report for the year ended June 2024
Aware of the challenging previous financial year for the charity and financial challenges facing the charity, by March 2024 the Trustees carefully considered whether the charity was still a going concern and on 2[nd] April 2024 called an extraordinary meeting to discuss the situation. The Trustees concluded that the charity was still a going concern, but that all options must be considered in relation to necessary cuts, loans and investment. A charity loan was declined with a note to re-visit once the Stockport project was underway and the charity was more financially stable.
Within a few months funding for several new projects had been secured, and that combined with savings and a rainy year (driving more families indoors and higher visitor and income levels) by the end of the financial year although the figures for the year were not as strong as hoped, there were a number of funding sources secured and expected in addition to new projects which would take effect during the next financial year.
The CIO and CIC currently raises roughly half of its funds from self-generated activity – primarily donations to the Hideaway, use of the café, Hope Pantry donations and children’s parties (through the CIC). The other half consists of regular grant funding from Statutory services and Housing Providers through an on-going MOU, commissioned service contracts, personal and business donations, sponsorship and grant funding.
Over the next 12 months whilst the new secured contracts and commissioned services will provide a lifeline for the charity, they can’t be guaranteed as long-term stable sources of funding and should be viewed as a bonus, but do enable capacity to focus on building longer-term stability. This will be done through investing in a new marketing and fundraising strategy and seeking out new local, stable income generating-opportunities in-line with our aims. The aim is to:
- Increase the number of regular donors – both individual and businesses
- Improve marketing to reach new regular visitors
- Grow business relationships and social value support/sponsorship
- Maximise our restaurant to increase sales
Long-term, although this project has faced significant delays due to circumstances outside our control, the charity is looking to grow by adding a 2[nd] site in Greater Manchester which can both have a significant impact on the local community and meet our charitable objectives and create additional income generating opportunities which will bring longer term stability to the charity. The trustees anticipate that over the next 12 months finances may remain tight and financial caution will be required. Long-term, the outlook for the charity is more positive with a financial forecast that shows in 3 years’ time a strong financial situation and minimum 3 months of operational reserves in the bank.

## **Reserves policy**
The aim of the reserves policy is to ensure that the charity’s ongoing and future activities are reasonably protected from unexpected fluctuations in its income and expenditure. The board reviewed the reserves policy and agreed that a minimum level of unrestricted general funds, also known as free reserves, of £100,000 is appropriate given the risks faced by the charity and the sustainability of its different income streams. As at 30 June 2024 unrestricted funds were deficit £38,489.
Due to the global financial challenges of the last few years through the Cost-of-Living Crisis, this has gradually drained the financial reserves of the organisation. A priority for the charity over the next 2 years is to rebuild the financial reserves and ensure that the future sustainability of the charity is secure. This will primarily be done by investing in areas the charity is currently weak for its size – marketing and fundraising. The Trustees believe that by investing in these areas along with growing a number of potential trading income streams, this will secure the financial shortfalls currently experienced by the charity. In addition to this, the Trust is progressing with plans to open a second, much larger site in 2025 which has significantly greater income generating potential as well as social impact potential. Cash flow projections show that within 3 years the charity should have substantial operational reserves and growth potential for the future. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity is a going concern.
The trustees view is that the amount of reserves required should be less than 3 months’ operating costs (£100,000 rather than £165,000) as commissioned projects with reserved income should be excluded from the calculations as without this income, we would also not incur the related costs of those projects. This will be reviewed if the plans for growth progress as hoped.
## **Plans for the future**
The trustees believe that the charity should consider significant growth as part of its long-term future. During the next 3 years the charity aims to:
- _Build a second, larger centre in another highly deprived area of Greater Manchester_
- _Identify an outdoor area in Partington to act as an extension of The Hideaway, removing the ‘seasonality’ element of the Hideaway._
- _Begin to develop a suitable franchise model which will allow other organisations to partner with us, use the model for change and resources we have developed to build similar centres in other areas_

- _Triple the number of children, families and vulnerable people helped_
- _Build up unrestricted reserves as a priority_
## **Structure, governance and management**
The charity operates with 5 trustees and is run on a day to day basis by a CEO, team of managers, staff and volunteers who are accountable to the trustees.
Hidden Treasure Discovery Centre CIC is owned by the charity, and operated by 3 Directors; 1 trustee, the CEO and a senior manager of Hidden Treasure Trust. It is run for the sole benefit of the CIO as a trading subsidiary through which children’s parties are provided. In the event that a second site is built, that site will operate it’s own CIC in the same way in order to keep the organisation separate and financial information clear.
Day to day decisions on behalf of the charity are taken by the CEO, Ruth Lancey, with the help of the management team. All significant financial decisions including changes to the charging model, staff pay rates, loans, lease or legal information or significant grant applications are referred to the trustees beforehand. All new projects, new staff roles, important policy changes are referred to the trustees for input and sign-off. The trustees from time to time refuse such requests if it is not felt to be core to the objects, inline with the aims or in the best interests of beneficiaries. The CEO is responsible for presenting new projects, and ensuring the trustees have access to all the information they require or request in a timely manner.
## **New trustees**
If the trustees believe the appointment of a new trustee is necessary, the trustees and CEO will discuss the specific areas of expertise or requirements for such a trustee. Trustees, managers and senior directors may propose suitable candidates and, with permission, approach such candidates to ascertain interest. If 1 or more candidates are found to be suitable, they will be interviewed by the other trustees and the chosen candidate appointed.
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered as a charity in England and Wales on 2[nd] September 2022.
In the event of winding-up, members of the charity have no liability to contribute to its assets and no personal responsibility for settling its debts and liabilities. The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The Trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity.

The charity is working towards paying all staff as a minimum the real living wage, with managers receiving an equivalent pay rate for a commercial enterprise outside of London, taking into account the charitable nature and financial limitations of the charity.
## **Risk management**
The trustees review risk, threats, systems and procedures at each quarterly meeting. The trustees work to identify solutions and systems in order to effectively manage and reduce any risks.
## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation

## Independent examiner’s report to the trustees for the period ended 30 June 2024
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 June 2024 set out on pages 19 to 40.
## **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 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS).
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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.
## **Other matters**
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts (financial statements) in accordance with 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) 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 been withdrawn.
We 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.
## **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:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.

Hidden Treasure Trust CIO
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024
## 1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
## a Basis of preparation
The accounts (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) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The accounts (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 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) 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.
Hidden Treasure Trust CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.
Hidden Treasure Trust CIO was registered as a charity with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on the 2nd September 2022. Hidden Treasure Trust CIO acquired the subsidiary on 1 January 2023 becoming the sole member and person of significant control.
Hidden Treasure Trust CIO is exempt from preparing group consolidated accounts for the period ended June 2024 as the parent and group below it qualify as small under FRS 102.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 (continued)
## b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are some uncertainty about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The charity is currently experiencing funding challenges. To address this the charity has reduced expenditure, put in applications for new funding opportunities and looked to create new income streams. The Trustees are confident with these interventions the charity will be able 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 measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## d Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## e Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 (continued)
## f Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
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 measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise staff costs and the costs of fundraising events and promotion.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of running the Hideaway centre and purchasing consumables for and running costs of the Hope Centre which are activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## h 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 which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 9.
## i Operating leases
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## j Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Leasehold improvements 15 years being remaining life of the lease Equipment 5 years

Hidden Treasure Trust CIO
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2024 (continued)
## k Fixed asset 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 using the closing quoted market price. The statement of financial activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
The Charity does not acquire put options, derivatives or other complex financial instruments.
The main form of financial risk faced by the charity is that of volatility in equity markets and investment markets due to wider economic conditions, the attitude of investors to investment risk, and changes in sentiment concerning equities and within particular sectors or sub sectors.
## l Stock
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving, and defective stocks. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## m Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## n Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## o Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably 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 provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## p Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Loans that are not on commercial terms are treated as public benefit entity concessionary loans, in accordance with FRS 102. This means the carrying value in the accounts is the amount originally received for the loan, less any repayments. The loans are not discounted.
