It has been an honour to be President in the 275[th] Year of the Dolphin Society. I started the year full of trepidation, not wanting to let down those in the community we support and members with a passion for our heritage; while also keen to extend our reach by securing funding for current and future projects. An old mentor used to preach that money gives you choices and never neglect your past while looking to the future. With this in mind, Sean Hollinswaite and I worked to build on the foundations of my predecessors and the consistent delivery our Society has achieved over recent centuries. The last year’s achievements would not have been possible without the support of the Management Committee who gave their time so freely, and the membership who attended the AGM with a passion for the Society that was inspiring. The support of our donors of all sizes, old and new, is what secures the future of the Dolphin Society. Engaging with a number of them throughout the year, sharing the aspirations for “seed philanthropy” and delivered projects has, I believe, been the reason our 275[th] year has been a success in building reserves to deliver projects and driving an ambition for greater impact over the years ahead. These accounts and the appeal that follows them are testament to the fact that the Society is as relevant today as it was to our founders. We have garnered support from previously untapped quarters and appealed to philanthropists of all ages as individuals and those working in trusts. During the year we have continued to support our legacy projects while exploring and funding new initiatives. The continuity of leadership we have attracted will undoubtedly drive the Dolphin Society with gusto into the next phase of positive impact for the older people living independently in Bristol and beyond. I will be forever grateful for the support of the Management Committee, our donors and particularly Sean Hollinswaite whose help to keep the presidency and Society on track was invaluable; Thank you all. Paul W Brown President 2023/2024 Date: 12 March 2025 Page 2 ## **THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024** The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 September 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and the relevant version of the 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 (FRS102). ## **Objectives and activities** ## **Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit** The objects of the Society are to apply the income and capital of the Charity for the following charitable purposes: - (a) The relief of elderly or disabled persons who are resident in Bristol and its adjoining local authority areas and who are in need, hardship or distress to maintain a high quality of life and independence by such means as are appropriate, including assisting and supporting them to live in their own homes; - (b) The provision of support for the elderly and disabled in need, hardship or distress in such other charitable ways as shall be proposed by the President for the time being in any appeal made on behalf of the Society. The Society has complied with the duty in Section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit in carrying out the above objectives by: - (a) providing or paying for goods, services or facilities, for example provision of pendant alarms to older and disabled people in financial need; and - (b) making grants of money to other persons or bodies who provide goods, services or facilities to those in need, for example funding WE Care & Repair to provide adaptations to the homes of older and disabled people in financial need. ## **Achievements and performance** ## **Financial review** ## **a. Going concern** After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies. Page 3 **THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024** ## **b. Financial review** Donations received during the year, together with Gift Aid repayments amounted to £158,811 (2023: £102,032). Investment income for the year totalled £3,137 (2023: £3,513). Direct charitable expenditure amounted to £98,571 (2023: £106,615). Support costs of the Annual Appeal and of administration were £23,842 (2023: £27,566). The surplus for the year after unrealised gains on investments was £46,635 (2023: deficit of £25,641). The unrestricted funds at the year end were £132,540 (2023: £85,905). The Society had a very successful year’s fundraising which has increased our surplus funds over and above our planned designated reserve to £62,540. The Society continues to have a deliberate policy of increasing its charitable expenditure to utilise its surplus reserves. Given the success of this year, more projects can now be supported to enable us to use these funds to meet our charitable objectives. The planned designated reserves at the end of this year were £70,000 (2023: £70,000). The result for the year was a surplus £39,015 before adding the unplanned unrealised gains on investments of £7,620 producing an overall surplus of £46,635 (2023: deficit of £25,641). This increased unrestricted reserves to £132,540 (2023: £85,905). ## **c. Reserves policy** The Society is working towards reducing its Reserves to its agreed level of approximately £70,000 and its future policy will be to match its charitable expenditure and overheads to its annual income. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## **a. Constitution** The Dolphin Society is a registered Charity which was established in 1749. The Charity works to enable the elderly to live independently and with peace of mind in their own homes, which is a continuing and growing need. These accounts incorporate the activities of the Edith Gardner Charity, L B Welchman and Emma Howell Trusts. ## **Members (in addition to Trustees)** Mimi Avery Laura Marshall Roger Baird (died 11 May 2024) Dayrell McArthur Keith Bonham MBE (died 28 January 2025) Bob McKinlay Hon.

Management** The Trustees formulate the broad strategy and areas of activity for the Society, following consultation with the Members. New members are appointed by the continuing Members. The day to day administration is delegated to an Administrator. ## **c. Risk management** The Trustees have considered the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and have taken appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. ## **Independent examiner** The Trustees have decided that under the terms of Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) the Society was not obliged to submit its accounts for audit and further that an independent examination of the accounts would satisfy the requirements of the Act. Joseph Scaife DChA, FCA of Bishop Fleming LLP was appointed Independent Examiner. ## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, 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 of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) 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 business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of 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. Approved by order of the members of the board of Trustees and signed on their behalf by: **Paul Brown** (Trustee) Date: 12 March 2025 Page 5 ## **THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY ('the charity')** I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024. ## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared the accounts 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 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. 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 2011 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.

Treasurer) ## Date: 12 March 2025 The notes on pages 9 to 15 form part of these financial statements. Page 8 **THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024** ## **1. GENERAL INFORMATION** The Dolphin Society is an unincorporated Charity and is registered at the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The principal office is care of Evelyn Partners, Portwall Place, Portwall Lane, Bristol, BS1 6NA. ## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 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 Charities SORP (FRS 102) published 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. The Dolphin Society 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 policy. ## **2.2 GOING CONCERN** The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. ## **2.3 INCOME** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. ## **2.4 EXPENDITURE** Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. Page 9 **THE DOLPHIN SOCIETY** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024** ## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)** ## **2.5 INVESTMENTS** Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date, unless the value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities. ## **2.6 LIABILITIES AND PROVISIONS** Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. ## **2.7 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. ## **2.8 FUND ACCOUNTING** General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
