MEMBERS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Members present their annual report together with the financial statements of the The Rahere Association for the 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The Members confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the Association qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2005 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
The Executive Committee consider that all the work carried out by the Association is for charitable purposes and consider that they have complied with the Charities Act requirement to have had due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission.
The objects of the charity remain unchanged, being the provision of help to patients and staff at St Bartholomew's Hospital and to generally improve its facilities.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
The Association has during the year given help to patients and staff of St Bartholomew's Hospital and this has included:
-
Grants made directly to patients such as: Transport costs for patients to attend appointments; expenses payments to visiting relatives; equipment such as stair lifts, white goods and furniture to enable patients to go home from hospital; wigs and bras for cancer patients; the purchase of tablets for inpatients for entertainment, keeping in touch with family, and conducting personal affairs; contributions towards short breaks for patient convalescence and spending quality time with family; and assistance with the cost of childcare for patients where no other support is available.
-
Grants made towards the purchase of equipment in the hospital or to enhance hospital services, such as; A quarterly contribution towards the purchase of bereavement resources for children and young people; grants to wards to ensure the availability of snacks and drinks for staff and patients during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
-
Grants made towards staff education and training such as; CPD training courses for members of Barts staff.
The Association did not receive the usual number of requests for grants towards staff education, training and conference attendance during the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It hopes to see a resurgence of these requests in the next year.
The Association intends to continue its activities in providing help to patients and staff of St Bartholomew's Hospital and to generally improve its facilities.
The income and expenditure and the financial position of the Association are shown in the financial statements.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Association 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.
b. Review of the Year
Total income for the year amounted to £172,576 with total expenditure amounting to £183,101 and gains on realisation on investments of £1,072,959, leaving a profit of £1,062,434. Accumulated reserves amounted to £5,133,691 and these funds will be used for future activities. Our investments have performed well in total since acquisition giving us not only substantial capital appreciation for the future but also an increased annual income. Funds available are sufficient to permit the Association to continue to operate at least into the medium term.
c. Reserves Policy
The members are of the opinion that the present level of funding together with the current level of unrestricted reserves is adequate to support the continuation of the activities of the Association in the medium term. The members also consider the financial position of the Association to be satisfactory.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
The Rahere Association is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 24 July 1950 and is a registered charity; Charity number 221171.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Members
The management of the Association is the responsibility of the Members who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
c. Risk Management
The members have assessed the major risks to which the Association is exposed, in particular theose related to the operations and finances of the Association, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks.
Plans for future periods
In the forthcoming year the Association intends to continue its policy of making small grants to patients to enhance their wellbeing and to enable early return home and return to work where possible.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Statement of Members' responsibilities
The Members (who are also the directors of the Association for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Members' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Under company law, the Members must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Association and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Members are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
Independent examiner's report to the Members of The Rahere Association ('the Association')
I report to the charity Members on my examination of the accounts of the Association for the year ended 31 March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Members of the Association (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Association are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Association's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Association as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
This report is made solely to the Association's Members, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Association's Members those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Association and the Association's Members as a body, for my work or for this report.

THE RAHERE ASSOCIATION (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Rahere Association 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.
1.2 Company status
The Association is a private company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the Members named on page 1. The address of the registered office is disclosed on the company information page. In the event of the Association being wound up, the liability in respect of the gurantee is limited to £10 per member of the Association.
1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Association has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
1.4 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 is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Association 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 Association'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.
1.5 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.

THE RAHERE ASSOCIATION (A company limited by guarantee)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.6 Liabilities
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 Association 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.
1.7 Financial instruments
The Association 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.
1.8 Taxation
The Association is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Association is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
1.9 Pensions
The Association operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Association to the fund in respect of the year.
1.10 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Members in furtherance of the general objectives of the Association and which have not been designated for other purposes.
