**BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT REPORT FROM THE CHAIR FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **REPORT FROM THE CHAIR** 

This year we continued to recover from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, both in support for our members and students, and as an organisation. 

With the relaxation of pandemic restrictions, many of our activities cautiously returned to normal, with the majority of group activities back to their usual numbers. It has been a joy to see the building once again full of members, students and local people, and buzzing with activity. The simplest of things had been missed so much and are appreciated even more now they have resumed: singing groups for Positive Ageing members, Mental Health & Wellbeing members using their art space, members meetings, students being able to mix, and the free-use computers and internet being back in the Atrium space. 

Once again we have had another year with fantastic support from our wonderful volunteers and from local companies. Our regular volunteers continue to give their time and energy to make a huge difference to the amount and type of activities we can deliver. They cook, wash up, teach, support and befriend. Volunteers are key to both the Positive Ageing and Mental Health & Wellbeing services and are hugely valued by both staff and members. Corporate volunteers have returned as a regular feature, particularly in the Positive by members. 

Supporting digital inclusion has remained high on our agenda this year. Staff in all services have invested time in providing IT support for members. This has increased the number who are online and able to access support and stay in touch with friends and family in ways many of us take for granted. This work continues and we have strengthened our ties with London Borough of Southwark as a Digital Hub. 

Within the organisation we have worked hard to increase our financial security and sustainability, with an ongoing focus on fundraising. We ran our first Crowdfunder, raising over £8,000 for the delivery of activities. We have also begun work on a new website. This is being built by our in-house graphic design service, Create Space (formerly Art2Print), with support from our friends at The Plant (theplant.co.uk), and was launched in autumn 2022. 

We would like to extend our thanks to our funders, many of whom we have worked with over a number of years, and without whom, little of what we do would be possible. In particular, we would like to thank those funders who have supported our core work, making so much else possible. 

We are also indebted to our volunteers, referrers, partner organisations of all shapes and sizes, our members and local people who make the Blackfriars Settlement community what it is.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **KEY ACHIEVEMENTS** 

## **Positive Ageing** 

The Ageing Well Southwark contract serving older people across the borough, has continued this year. The delivery ai closely with the other members of the COPSINS Consortium to ensure the services have continued to develop and evolve. 

There has been a steady flow of new referrals over the year. We have worked very hard to meet the needs of isolated and anxious existing members as well as new contacts in the community. 

Needs have become more complex, with the team dealing with safeguarding issues, many referrals which do not meet the existing threshold for social care intervention, and an increasing number of members and referrals with early dementia. 

Befriending continues to be a highly valued part of the Positive Ageing service, matching very isolated members of the local community with trained volunteers. The continued long waiting times highlights our need to increase capacity in this area in order to meet need and this is something we will continue to prioritise. 

There is significant interest amongst members in getting online or improving their IT skills. We are committed to meeting both of these needs over the coming year. 

## **Adult Education** 

We are pleased to provide learning and development classes on behalf of Southwark Adult Education as well as via Mary Ward Centre. This year we have seen students returning to the building in greater numbers. We have offered a wider range of courses and have also established some online courses and hybrid courses as ongoing delivery methods. Adult Education continues to work with Positive Ageing and Mental Health & Wellbeing, enabling us to deliver some courses specifically for these particular groups. This has worked well, and is something we will continue to deliver. 

## **Mental Health and Wellbeing** 

The service continues to see a steady stream of referrals from a wide variety of agencies and services. During the year, the service has implemented induction courses for newly referred people, enabling them to get to know the service and feel at home, and for the team to make sure they are accessing the sessions most useful for them.

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** (continued) 

## **KEY ACHIEVEMENTS** (continued) 

## **Mental Health and Wellbeing** (continued) 

This year the Lottery funded Thinking Ahead Project has gathered momentum. It focuses on building skills and confidence amongst members, enabling access to educational opportunities, promoting and enabling volunteering and enabling members to contribute to their community. 

The service delivers a broad range of high quality services: 

- In partnership with professional design studio, the Plant, our Social Enterprise Design Studio Art2Print, has rebranded as Create Space, and has continued to provide high quality design to internal services and external clients 

- The service is hosting Art Therapy students on placement with us from the University of Roehampton, which has boosted our capacity by working directly with members. 

- We have successfully run 3 courses for our education funders: Spring Back from Covid, Music Appreciation and Mindful Movements. 

- provided sessions to build and develop tech skills in smart phone, online, tablets, peer support, sharing skills and building confidence. 

- Day trips and events including visits to Horniman museum and Hampton Court, Mental health awareness week music event and Black history month creative project and Art exhibition 

- A healthy eating on a budget programme funded by Southwark Council. the 4 x6 week programme helps people plan, shop, cook and eat together and gain skills and knowledge of resources and food pantry's/co-ops to help with cost-of-living crisis and food insecurity as well as reducing isolation and maintaining mental health 

## **The Orb Space** 

This year we have offered workshops and courses, and have particularly focussed on building up a community of new parents. We have offered Baby Massage and Baby Dance courses, and used the space in our Atrium to allow participants to spend time together and build friendships and mutual support. This is something we will be continuing and developing further. 

## **Legal Clinic** 

At the beginning of the year the legal clinic ran using telephone appointments but then switched back to face to face in the building. We continue to work closely with City University of London Law School and our partner lawyers to deliver free housing and employment legal advice. There is a high demand for this service. 

## **PERFORMANCE INDICATORS** 

The actual performance of services is set out in the table below. Year on year comparison where data is available, demonstrates the impact of covid on our different services this period.  Comparative data is not provided where measurement was introduced for the first time during 2021-22.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The period ended 31[st] July 2022 continued to be challenging for the Settlement as the Senior Management Team focused on rebuilding key activities impacted by the longer term effects of Covid-19. Building and maintaining relationships with existing funders continued to be a priority, along with seeking new and/or renewed sources of funding as the Settlement seeks to build a more secure future for its clients and other partners. 

The Settlement has sought to maintain activities with older people and with people suffering from mental healt good quality administrative and back office support. Following the merger in May 2018, a significant part of the responsibility for administrative, back office and senior management support was taken on by Mary Ward Settlement. This has continued to develop over the year under review, with the now established, dedicated Settlement Director and the Senior Management Team bringing much needed stability, strategic direction and support during a challenging time. 

While Covid-19 continued to have a significant impact on both income and service, 2021-22 saw a significant shift back towards the type of face to face activities our members and other vulnerable people in the community rely on and enjoy. While the Covid-19 funding streams largely ceased, the return to a fuller range of activity meant that membership funding increased, which, alongside generous funding and donations from corporate sponsors and trust funders, helped to facilitate the delivery of our essential services. 

The financial environment continues to be challenging, with a reported deficit of £9,174 for the period ended 31[st] July 2022 (2021: deficit £29,624). This is an improvement from the previous year, and reflects 

Page 7 



**BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** (continued) 

both the strong level of support from regular funders noted above, and continued tight control over the cost base. The Settlement is continuing its plans to re-build the income stream and to control costs whilst continuing to deliver the activities of the Settlement. 

## **Income** 

Income for the Settlement's charitable purposes was £673,702 for the period (2021: £624,865), reflecting the continued support from existing funders at similar levels including the London Borough of Southwark through ce and a strong contribution from Learning and Development Funding, which has continued to grow. 

## **Income in kind** 

The value of the services for the purposes of our accounts for the period was £nil (2020-21: £ nil). Local traders have contributed with generous discounts. Teams have appeared from corporate partners offering their time for tasks ranging from serving dinners to befriending isolated older people. Although not valued in the financial statements we are very grateful to those who have donated their time and service. 

## **Expenditure** 

Our cost base has increased modestly, in response to the increase in activity during 2021-22 compared with the previous year which was significantly affected by Covid-19. For the period under review, expenditure on charitable activities was £682,584 an increase of approximately 3% on the previous period (2021: £658,771). 

## **TREASURY MANAGEMENT** 

The Board maintained a policy of holding the majority of funds on cash deposit. Together with the portfolio of shares and unit trusts, this policy resulted in bank and investment income of £2,302 in the period under review (2021: £3,552). 

## **RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN** 

The Settlement aims to hold reserves equivalent to between 1 and 3 continue to provide a service in the event of unexpected financial crisis. At 31[st] July 2022 reserves totalled £2,830,434 (2020-21: £2,857,941). The principal reserve represents the value of the leasehold premises in Rushworth Street and is therefore not currently available as a source of funds for use in our charitable activities. At the period end, it amounted to £2,813,683 (2021: £2,881,185) and is held as a reserve for future 

The Settlement also held two further unrestricted, but designated, funds as part of the reserves during the period under review: a reserve for future depreciation of fixed assets of £32,388 (2021: £41,875) and a designated bursary fund to support ESOL students of £1,457 (2020-21: £1,457). It also held a general unrestricted fund which, at 31[st] July 2022, had a surplus of £1,239 (2021: deficit £66,576). 

Good progress had been made, since the merger with the Mary Ward Settlement group, on 1[st] May 2018, with the annual operating deficit until the Covid-19 pandemic took hold. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the grow income has been slower than hoped. However, the operating deficit for 2021-22 was ultimately lower than expected, reflecting a steady movement towards financial stability, including a controlled growth in essential services following a return to more normal activity after the pandemic lockdowns it is encouraging to see this has been steadily reducing over recent years and it is expected these will turn positive within the next financial year or two. 

The Settlement has developed detailed financial projections, which include modelling its plans for growth financial impact of the challenges and uncertainties created by the Covid-19 pandemic and of other key risks. As such, it considers that the Settlement has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and until at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

## **CURRENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **STRATEGIC PLAN** 

The -24, of which the most important element is the Property Strategy which will have seen the purchase and redevelopment of a new, purpose built, Centre for the Mary The Property Strategy was originally scheduled for completion by the end of 2021-22. However, delays arising from planning and funding decisions primarily caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have set back the schedule for completion until April 2023. Consequently, taking into account the importance of the Property Strategy to the -22 Strategic Plan until the end of the 2023-24 financial year. 

Looking forward, the Settlement expects to be able to achieve the following, as part of the current Strategic Plan: 

- To maintain and develop the range of activities currently offered to the local community by the Settlement primarily for older people and for people experiencing mental health issues 

- To partner Mary Ward Adult Education Centre in hosting adult education classes at the Rushworth Street premises 

- To partner Mary Ward Legal Centre in hosting Legal Advice clinics and drop-in services at the Rushworth Street premises 

The Strategic Plan of Mary Ward Settlement includes the relocation of Mary Ward Settlement to a new site in Stratford in the London Borough of Newham, which is likely to happen in April 2023. It is envisaged that the Settlement will continue to operate from its property at Rushworth Street but will be able to extend the range of its community services to the new site, operating a variety of activities in both the Boroughs of Newham and Southwark, alongside the wider offering of Mary Ward Settlement. 

## **FUNDRAISING** 

The Settlement aims to achieve best practice in the way in which it communicates with donors and other supporters. It takes care with both the tone of its communications and the accuracy of its data to minimise the pressures on supporters. ensures that communication preferences can be changed at any time. The Settlement manages its own fundraising activities and, during the period under review, have employed the services of a professional fundraising organisation who has made one of their employees available to provide hands-on expertise and operational input. The Settlement undertakes to react to and investigate any complaints regarding its fundraising activities and to learn from them and improve its service. 

During 2021-22, the Settlement received no complaints about its fundraising activities. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

The following statement is provided to enable readers of the Annual Report and Financial Statements of the Settlement to obtain a better understanding of its governance and legal structure. The statement covers the period from 1[st] August 2021 to 31[st] July 2022 and up to the date of the approval of the Annual Report and Financial Statements. 

The Settlement is a registered charity. The Board confirms that it has had due regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and that the required statements appear elsewhere in these Financial Statements.

Company Secretary: Suzanna Jackson Ms B Campbell acts as clerk to the Board. 

## **APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD** 

The Settlement operates selection criteria for recruitment of trustees to the Board so as to ensure that their skills and experience reflect the governance and operational needs of the Settlement. Prospective trustees are interviewed by the Mary Ward Settlement Governance and Nominations Committee, which includes at least one trustee from the Settlement. On selection, references will be taken up as to their suitability to be a trustee 

## **TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING** 

Each new trustee will have an induction programme designed to meet their needs as a trustee. The content of the programme will vary depending on their level of experience as a charity trustee and their knowledge and understanding of the Settlement.

Page 10 



**BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **RELATED PARTIES AND CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS** 

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Settlement, unless they are separately employed by the Settlement as a member of staff. For the year under review, no trustee received remuneration in the year for their role as a trustee. There were no expenses and no related party transactions for the year ended 31[st] July 2022 (2020-21: none). 

Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the Settlement and any organisation associated with the Settlement must be disclosed to the Board in the same way as any contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported. 

The Settlement has built up strong relationships over many years with a range of agencies in the public, private and charity sectors. The Settlement continues its delivery of activities to the local community, primarily aimed at the elderly and people experiencing mental health issues, helping people to improve their lives through a range of activities, educational classes and projects and by hosting legal advice clinics. As such, the Settlement enjoys good co-operative working relations with an ever-growing number of partners and stakeholders in relation to a range of borough-based projects and activities that meet core charitable objectives. 

## **PAY POLICY FOR KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL** 

The trustees and the Senior Management Team comprise the key management personnel of the Settlement in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Settlement on a day to day basis. 

The pay of the Senior Management Team is reviewed annually by the Remuneration Committee, which then makes recommendations to the full Board. The employment costs of the Senior Management Team for their work in relation to the Settlement are allocated to the Settlement. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Board has a risk management strategy which comprises the following: 

- Regular reviews by the Audit and Risk Committee of Mary Ward Settlement of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Settlement; 

- Regular reviews of the policies, systems and procedures in place to mitigate those risks and uncertainties; 

- An annual request that trustees identify their own view of what the key risks are; 

- An annual report on risk by the Audit and Risk Committee, for the Board; and 

- The implementation of systems and procedures designed to mitigate any potential impact should the risk actually arise. 

The major risks facing the Settlement are: 

- Sustainability following recent reduction in funding levels, and the continued reliance on short term contracts. In mitigation the Settlement is continuing to make applications for new funding with Senior Management Team support. The Settlement has reduced expenditure by integrating administrative functions, sharing resources across the Mary Ward Settlement group, where feasible, and will continued to monitor costs closely; 

- Increasing demands being placed on staff and a consequent failure to deliver quality services to users. In mitigation, the successful recruitment of a Director of Services for the Settlement, now well established in post, has boosted capacity within the Settlement and provides dedicated leadership and direction for Settlement staff. 

Other operational risks are considered to be at a low level and are monitored by management.

## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records or returns; 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies the requirement to prepare a strategic report. 

## **Responsibilities of trustees** 

As explained more (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial st to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. 

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: 

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; 

- we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charitable company and determined that the most significant frameworks which are directly relevant to specific assertions in the financial statements are those that relate to the reporting framework (Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011), those that relate to data protection (General Data Protection Regulation), safeguarding, employment and health and safety; and

**INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT** 

(continued) 

identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. 

obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: 

- making enquiries of management as to their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: 

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; 

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; 

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; 

- used data analytics to investigate the rationale behind any significant or unusual transactions; 

- tested authorisation controls on expenditure items, ensuring all expenditure was approved in line with the and 

- Performed substantive testing on grant income to ensure the income recognised complied with the funding agreements. 

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: 

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; and 

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims. 

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of noncompliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. 

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part

## **BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Financial Statements are laid out below. 

## **(a) Basis of preparation** 

The Financial Statements have been prepared for the year to 31[st] July 2022. They have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the accounting policies below or the Notes to these Financial Statements. They have been prepared 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 to the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Blackfriars Settlement meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. 

The Financial Statements are presented in sterling and are rounded to the nearest pound. 

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

Having considered future plans and cash flows, the trustees confirm that they are not aware of any material uncertainties with regard to the Settlement future and therefore have prepared the accounts on a going concern basis. its merger with the Mary Ward Settlement group, to improve its financial position by reducing costs and increasing new sources of income, focusing on its key activities was effective until the impact of the Covid19 pandemic took hold. The Mary Ward Settlement group continues to support the Settlement in its long term strategy, with a long term goal of addressing the negative free reserves. It is expected that, postCovid- 

## **(c) Estimation uncertainty** 

Preparation of the financial statements requires the trustees to make significant judgements and estimates. 

The item in the financial statements where these judgements and estimates have been made consist of: 

Determining the useful economic life of tangible fixed assets for the purposes of determining the annual depreciation charge; and 

Estimating the value of donated goods and services. 

## **(d) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

All assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: 

Furniture and fittings - Computer equipment - Leasehold building at 1 Rushworth Street - 

Over 10 years on a straight line basis Over 4 years on a straight line basis Over 50 years on a straight line basis;

## **BLACKFRIARS SETTLEMENT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued) 

## **(e) Investments** 

Investments are a form of basic financial instrument. They are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently valued at their fair value 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. 

## **(f) Financial instruments** 

The Settlement only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basis financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **(g) 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. 

## **(h) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes bank accounts, 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. 

## **(i) Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Settlement 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. 

## **(j) Income** 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Settlement has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. The following specific policies apply to categories of income: 

Donations & Grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the Settlement earns the right to consideration by its performance. Where income is received in advance of its recognition, it is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income being received, the income is accrued. 

Income from Public Authorities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities during the period to which it relates except where the income is conditional upon meeting identified targets. Such income is only credited once the targets are expected to be achieved. 

Investment income is credited to income when it is receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Settlement. For interest income, this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** (continued) 

## **(k) Donated services** 

Donated professional services are recognised as income when the Settlement has control over them, any conditions associated with the donated service having been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the Settlement of the item is probable and that the economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102), the time of general volunteers is not recognised. 

On receipt, donated professional services are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Settlement which is the amount that the Settlement would have been willing to pay to obtain those services on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the same period as the receipt. 

In the period to July 2022, the following donated goods or services were included in the accounts: 

Cash donations £125,174 (2021: £53,567) Gifts in kind £ nil (2021: £ nil) Total £125,174 (2021: £53,567) 

## **(l) Operating Lease Commitments** 

Annual rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 

## **(m) Expenditure** 

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

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred, inclusive of VAT, where it cannot be recovered. 

## **(n) Allocation of Expenditure** 

Charitable expenditure, including governance expenditure, is generally apportioned between the funds on the basis of direct costs plus a percentage of indirect costs Support costs are identified as the costs of strategic and financial management, accounting and project monitoring, IT procurement and maintenance, publicity and general administration. 

## **(o) Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Board in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.  Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Board for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the Financial Statements.  Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Settlement for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the Financial Statements.

## **21. CONTINGENT LIABILITY** 

In August 2017, the Settlement was contacted by requesting payment of £36,000 in relation to outstanding pension obligations for a former staff member. This staff member was employed by the Settlement for an approximate 2 year period between February 2014 and March 2016 following a TUPE transfer from a previous employer, the London Borough of The sum requested had apparently arisen on the actuarial revaluation carried out in March 2017, nine months after the Settlement had left the LGPS. 

Having reviewed the original agreements and associated correspondence with both LB Lambeth and the LGPS, the trustees at the time, took the view that the sum demanded is not payable because, on joining the LPGS, the Admission Agreement clearly stated that all starting and terminating liabilities would be borne by LB Lambeth. This view remains unchanged and on this basis, no accrual has been made.
