TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OUR PURPOSE AND ACTIVITIES

The company’s objective and principal activities are:

The Relief of Need, which arises as a result of poverty, age, disability or illness;
The advancement of Education;
The provision of Recreation & Leisure;
In the interests of the social welfare of the inhabitants of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and surrounding areas in particular, but not exclusively, of the Weavers Ward and in order to improve the conditions of life for those in need of such Facilities.

The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus on implementation of these objectives, through a combination of community programmes and community based social care services. However, due to the unexpected COVID pandemic and its significant impact in the Financial Year 2021 – 2022, an alternative approach to Service Delivery was required for part of the year but once restrictions had lifted in July 2021, we re-opened the centres at Club Row and Sonali Gardens and started to deliver our Activities normally.

The role and contribution of volunteers

During the year a total of 67 volunteers helped support the work of the paid staff in Programme Delivery.

Achievements and Performance

St Hilda’s East has successfully worked towards meeting its charitable objects during the last year, although the COVID pandemic has altered our ways of working and we streamlined our operations by focusing on 3 key Thematic areas i.e., Children & Young People, Community/Adults, and integrating our Older People’s Service:

Service delivery of all projects was affected by the COVID pandemic restrictions, with most projects starting the year paused, with the majority of staff on furlough/flexi-furlough and operating remotely but moving back to face-to-face operations as restrictions reduced.

Children & Young People:

St Hilda's Youth Projects adapted the model of delivery to continue working with young people aged 13-19 in a virtual space and providing outreach support in person with the continued aims of developing life skills, widening horizons and raising aspirations in a safe and welcoming environment to young people throughout Tower Hamlets.

St Hilda's Unity Girls Project continued to provide a focal point for girls and young women aged 10-19, providing those who use it with a chance to take part in activities. These activities expanded as the group transitioned back to face-toface delivery, with the recruitment of a part-time activity organiser.

Delivery of the Surjamuki project, aimed at young people with disabilities age 11 to 24 living throughout the Tower Hamlets area via an outreach mode, was suspended due to COVID restrictions and the potential vulnerability of the users. The project, unfortunately, remained closed during this year.

St Hilda's Under 5's Project ran a vital stay and play service which was open to the local community to provide much needed and welcomed support for parents and carers. St Hilda's also played a key role in Children's Centre delivery in the northwest area of Tower Hamlets borough, providing a setting for Tower Hamlets Council commissioned Active Play sessions within our community centre premises.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Cont/d)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Community/Adults:

St Hilda's East enabled people living in the local community to access welfare benefits and legal rights through a combination of its community centre Advice Service and evening Legal Advice Clinics. With the limited resources of one part time Advice Worker and one sessional advisor the community centre Advice Service delivered a very high level of advice to members of the local community, helping many to improve their quality of life and move out of poverty. The service offers telephone or in-person consultations on an appointment basis, four days per week.

The service has been very busy: in the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, 299 appointments were given to 88 clients. Of these appointments 231 involved welfare rights matters, 25 debt and 20 housing. £67,586 was raised in new benefits being awarded to clients and £18,538 in backdated benefits. The feedback from users was very positive with no formal complaints received. The service operates with limited resources and signposting is used when appropriate.

Legal Advice clinics were, unfortunately, suspended during this year as a result of the COVID crisis, but plans to reopen them for the 2022-23 year were put in place; continuing our long-standing partnerships with our corporate pro bono advice donors.

The Boundary Women’s Project was suspended during the pandemic as users were not able to meet, and digital exclusion made online activities difficult. The project was planned to reopen in the 2022-23 financial year.

The City Bridge Trust and WEN supported Community Food and Advice Project provided fresh and affordable fruit and vegetables to the local community through its Food Co-op during 2021/2022. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a Food ‘Shop and Drop’ was established Delivery of Food parcels to those in need and unable to access shopping services. The Food Coop continued to operate it’s Thursday shop, serving an average of 90 people used this facility each week. Run with the involvement of volunteers, the project is an inspiring example of social cohesion, a popular 'hub' bringing together people from surrounding area.

Older People:

St Hilda's East ensured that beneficiaries, particularly the elderly and vulnerable, were not socially isolated, with a focus on their physical and mental wellbeing during the coronavirus pandemic and continued to provide a wide range of care support services as part of an integrated model at Sonali Gardens acting as a Community Support Hub both locally and borough wide across Tower Hamlets. These combined services made a significant difference to the lives of people in the community, notably older people and other adults experiencing isolation during COVID.

The Feeling Good Project continued to operate though it was not able to deliver in person activities for a large part of the year. However, it pivoted to provide ongoing support to users and later took on ‘Shop and Drop’ duties, delivering groceries to those in the community who were forced to social isolate because of COVID. Link Age Plus continued operating throughout the year, with online and in-person activities as circumstances allowed, providing outreach and social inclusion for its user.

New business plan and strategy :

St Hilda’s East was able to develop its Business Model, focused on rebuilding our Reserves by achieving a Budget ‘Surplus’ position that would also allow the Charity to invest in its Facilities and Staff in future years, if successful, to better meet the needs of the local community. Supported by consultancy work in Funding i.e. Charity Fundraising, and Marketing i.e. Ingenious Group, using the 3-year Strategy, as a starting point, St Hilda’s has undertaken a ‘Why?’ Programme and Needs Analysis that will determine the direction of travel, focus and activities that the Charity will provide in the coming years, with the right amount of resource and staffing allocated to achieve it. The Staffing Structure has been streamlined to include a Head of Funding, Head of Programme Development and Head of Operations to ensure key areas of the organisation are functioning effectively, with a suitable Management structure in place, whilst we prepare the Charity for growth and development.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Cont/d)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Public benefit statement

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PD2). The achievements and activities above demonstrate the public benefit arising through the Charity’s activities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The statement of Financial Activities showed a net deficit for the year of £87,615 (2021 – net surplus £101,736) and total reserves stand at £1,965,448 (2021 – £2,053,063). This includes the book value of the Community Centre property and the capitalisation of grants for the premises and vehicles.

St. Hilda’s East endeavours to run a balanced budget, with a projected Surplus, in delivering the various activities carried out at the community centre. The principal funding sources are shown under notes 2 and 3 and comprise a mix of statutory funding, grants from charitable trusts and commercial organisations. The charity also raises funds through a number of sponsored initiatives.

Risk management

The Directors/Trustees have identified the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, which are contained in the Risk Register, and believe that the systems in place are adequate to mitigate those risks. The Charity’s Organisational Risk Assessment has been regularly reviewed and is a standing item on the main Board Agenda. The charity makes little use of financial instruments other than an operational bank account and an investment in a common investment fund so its exposure to price risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow risk is not material for the assessment of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the charity.

Principal funding sources

The charity aims to develop a diverse funding base for its activities. While the London Borough of Tower Hamlets remains its largest source of funding due to a number of contracts and Service Agreements, St. Hilda’s East continues to attract funding for its various projects from a wide range of other sources – charitable trusts, livery companies, private companies, donations and the community centre’s own income generating activities.

Investment powers and policy

Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to invest in any way the Trustees see fit. It endeavours to maximise interest income from use of free financial reserves.

Reserves policy

The Directors and Trustees consider it prudent to maintain an adequate level of unrestricted reserves to cover the community centre’s contractual commitments and provide sufficient working capital and have set this at a minimum of between three and six months expenditure. As at the year end, financial statements showed reserves of £1,965,448 (2021 - £2,053,063), of which £1,336,700 (2021 - £1,366,373) was restricted. In addition, the Trustees have set aside Designated Funds totalling £158,968 (2021 - £218,715) for specific purposes including staff contingency, building work and maintenance. The unrestricted funds not designated or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity are £442,292 (2021 - £429,788).

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

FUTURE PLANS AND DEVELOPMENTS

St Hilda’s East will continue to deliver Programmes, in line with its charitable objectives, and will continue to develop and transform its services to meet the needs of the local community, and provide a strong, stable and sustainable organisation.

A Strategic Framework has been developed for the organisation via the WHY Programme and captures the essential elements of the Charity and provides an overview of the Vision, Mission and Values, Strategic Objectives, Operational Action Plans including monitoring and reporting, so that Trustees, SLT, MT and Staff have a clear understanding of the direction and focus of St Hilda’s and are working together.

A Strategic Action Plan has been created to ensure that strategy is translated into action and cascaded to all levels of the organisation, with a focus on development in key areas i.e. Governance, Partnerships, Facilities, Marketing, Funding, Impact Framework, as well as reshaping Programme Delivery so that it meets the needs of the local community in Tower Hamlets.

These actions have been supported by improvements in systems and processes in the back office functions i.e. Finance, HR, Admin and IT, including a new CRM system, Beacon, so that information and documentation is communicated, handled and stored correctly and is easily accessible to staff. Additionally, Governance and Finance Working Groups have been setup in these key areas to ensure that progress is being made.

Funding and Marketing are two key strategic areas for development at St Hilda’s and as such the Charity has engaged with two excellent Consultancies i.e. Ingenious Group (Marketing) and Charity Fundraising (Funding) to support the growth in these areas, bring in the requisite skills, knowledge and expertise to the organisation, which will result in a full Marketing & Communications Strategy, Funding Strategy, and Facility Options Appraisal, as well as an overall Business Plan in 2022 - 2023.

A Programme Review has taken place, by the new Head of Programme Dev which assessed the purpose and quality of current St Hilda’s Programme Delivery and provides the foundation for future Programme Development, based on the Needs Analysis, ‘Why’ Programme and Map & Survey of Tower Hamlets. A co-production approach will be used, so that the Services and Provision that St Hilda’s is delivering to the community is evidenced, up to date and of the right quality. This will be supported by the development and implementation of an Impact Framework to ensure that St Hilda’s is capturing the right data, measuring its Project outputs & outcomes, is focused on the right KPIs and, hence, is in a position to assess its impact on the community, adjust its Projects and Programmes, accordingly, and continue to support its beneficiaries in the coming years.

Asset Development of the Club Row facility is an important focus for St Hilda’s, so that it is a fit for purpose, modern and engaging workplace for Staff Members and Tenants, whilst also providing activity space for Project Delivery, Casual Lettings and Ad Hoc meetings. The aim is to provide a vibrant Community Hub, which serves the needs of the local community, through Learning, Social Action and having FUN, whilst generating sustainable revenue. Phase 1 Development is underway i.e. new Paint, Carpets, and Repairs throughout the Facility, which will be followed by a potential Phase 2 Re-design, based on the findings of the ‘Why’ Programme and Needs Analysis, so that the space within the building is optimised and fit for purpose to deliver St Hilda’s mission. The Business Plan will be written by Charity Fundraising, supported by Architect Tenants, Whittaker Parsons, with initial Market Research carried out by Ingenious Group

Resources will be allocated, efficiently and effectively, to meet the strategic priorities of the Charity, as outlined above, and the Staff Structure will be shaped so that it is streamlined, efficient and fit for purpose, with a Senior Leadership Team, reporting through to the Board, and a Management Team, overseeing operations.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (Cont/d)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Trustees’ responsibility statement

The Trustees (who are also directors of St. Hilda’s East for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland"

Company 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the 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 in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards 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 charitable company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

The trustees are responsible for maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

AUDITORS

The auditors, SKS Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 21 December 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF

ST. HILDA’S EAST

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of St. Hilda’s East for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (Summary Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you were:

The trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
The trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least 12 months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

The information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the director’s report prepared for the purpose of company law for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements: and
The directors’ report included in the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF

ST. HILDA’S EAST

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 and returns;
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made;
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit;
trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the directors’ report and take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare the strategic report.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (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 statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our 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:

Discussions were held with, and enquiries made of, management and those charged with governance with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements. During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, Charities Act, Tax and Pensions legislation, and distributable profits legislation.
It is considered that there are no laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the charity.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF

ST. HILDA’S EAST

Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the charitable company complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of entries in the nominal ledger, including journal entries; reviewing transactions around the end of the reporting period; and the performance of analytical procedures to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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 financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these financial statements.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2 Preparation of financial statements on a going concern basis

The Charity’s Financial Statements show a net deficit of £87,615 for the year (2021 – net surplus £101,736) and free reserves £442,292 (2021 - £429,788) as at the year end. The Trustees are of the view that these results have secured the immediate future of the Charity for the next 12 to 18 months and on this basis, the Charity is a going concern.

1.3 Income recognition

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to it, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grant income

Grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the funds. Income is only deferred where there are time constraints imposed by the donor or if the funding is performance related.

Where entitlement to grants receivable is dependent upon fulfilment of conditions within the charity’s control, the income is recognised when there is sufficient evidence that conditions will be met.

Grants supporting the core activities of the charity and with no specific restrictions placed upon their use are included within donations and legacies. Grants that have specific restrictions placed upon their use are included within income from charitable activities.

Capital grants for the purchase of fixed assets are credited to restricted incoming resources on the earlier date of when they are received or receivable. Deprecation on the related fixed assets is charged against the restricted fund.

Donations and legacies

Donations are recognised in the period in which they are received. Legacy income is recognised when the charity’s entitlement is judged to be probable and where the amount can be reliably measured.

Contract income

Income from charitable activities include income recognised as earned (as the related goods and services are provided) under contract.

Room hire and service change income

Room hire and service charge income are credited to income in the year in which they are receivable.

Investment income

Investment income is included when receivable.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1.4 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), the general volunteer time is not recognised and refers 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.

1.5 Expenditure recognition 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:

(a) Cost of raising funds comprises costs of seeking donations and legacies, costs related to property rentals and their associated support costs.
(b) Expenditure on charitable activities include expenditure associated with the main objectives of the charity and include both directs costs and their associated support costs.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

1.6 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 basis on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8.

1.7 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.

1.8 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost.

A part of building owned and occupied by St. Hilda’s East is rented out to charitable organisations, which carry out activities, compatible with St. Hilda’s East charitable objectives, therefore, as required by SORP 2015 (FRS 102) the rented proportion of the building is identified separately in note 12, under Freehold property (mixed motive investment).

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful life on the following basis:

Freehold property	-	2% per annum on cost
Leasehold property improvements	-	Length on the lease
Furniture and equipment	-	25% per annum on cost
Motor vehicles	-	20% per annum on cost

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1.9 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 the property market due to wider economic conditions.

1.10 Realised / unrealised gains and losses

All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value if acquired subsequent to the first day of the financial year. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value. Realised and unrealised investment gains and losses are combined in the Statement of Financial Activities.

1.11 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.

1.12 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term cash deposits.

1.13 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.

1.14 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.

1.15 Judgement and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the charity is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1.16 Pension costs

Until 30 September 2013 the charity participated in a defined benefit pension scheme on behalf of its employees. From October 2013 these employees were transferred to a defined contribution arrangement. Additionally (from 1st May 2016) all other eligible employees were auto enrolled into the government’s defined contribution scheme.

Contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they are payable. The assets of the defined contribution schemes are held separately from those of the company in independently administered funds. The pension cost charge (note 10) represents contributions payable by the charity to the fund and amounted to £18,668 (2021 - £19,657). Contributions totalling £Nil (2021 - £1,234 payable) were payable from the fund at the year end and are included in creditors.

1.17 Operating leases

All leases are operating leases, and rentals are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straightline basis over the lease duration. No assets are held under hire purchase agreements.

1.18 Taxation

The charity is a registered charity and, therefore, is not liable for Income Tax or Corporation Tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.
