Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

Objectives and activities

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

The objectives of the charity is to advance the education of its members, to give them the opportunity of working together through the organisation to develop their skills, and to put into practice those ideals for which the organisation stands.

The Trustees organise events which are publicised to the membership for their benefit and to generate funds towards the running of the Federation.

Our Charitable status requires us to organise events of benefit to the General public.

The following has enabled us to meet these requirements:

Members support of ACWW (Associated Country Women Worldwide). An annual sponsored walk with all funds going to the Charity direct. Also, WI's organise their own events to support ACWW - again with all proceeds going direct to ACWW.

One Institutes teaches cookery (with support from local Council grants) to disadvantaged members of the public.

A couple of WI's are involved with their local mountain rescue teams by both raising funds and providing ongoing support.

Achievements and performance

We had so much planned for 2020 to celebrate the Centenary of the Federation, but unfortunately the global pandemic took hold and we were all thrown into the unknown. However we did manage to hold a very successful coffee morning at Dalston in late February. Membership Support also managed to squeeze in their training Workshop in early March.

Unfortunately our Annual Council Meeting had to be cancelled which was very disappointing as the National Chairman, Lynne Stubbings, was coming to address the Federation. At the meeting we were also going to unveil the wall hanging which you all contributed to, depicting places of interest from your own area. The newly designed table cloth was also going to be on display.

The ACWW walk took on a new format this year. Instead of being held in April it went ahead in October where individual WI's did a socially distanced walk in their own area on a day in October that suited them. Laying the remembrance wreath was also affected however our Vice Chairman did lay it on the Saturday before Remembrance Sunday.

The only face to face invitation which the Trustees attended in 2020 was Lancashire Federation's Annual Meeting which was held in Southport a few days before lockdown commenced. From March 2020 the Trustees only held one face to face Board Meeting - this was at Morton Manor as the room in Earl Street is too small to keep socially distanced. Like a lot of people we embraced zoom and as well as allowing us to holding Board and Membership Support Meetings it also meant that we could join other Federations for their Annual Meetings and link into the NFWI AGM.

Unfortunately the Pandemic meant that we could not go ahead with Calendars, WI Diaries, 200 Club, bulb orders and Federation raffle tickets - all of which are fund raisers for the Federation.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

Financial review

At the year end the charity had funds of £225,308 of these £218,918 were unrestricted funds. The charity made a deficit this year of £5,474 (2019: surplus of £20,286).

Reserves Policy

The charity aims to have free reserves equivalent to 6 months of overheads. For 2021 this equates to approximately £14,000. The trustees monitor the level of reserves held to ensure they are sufficient. Free reserves are the proportion of the unrestricted reserves which are freely available to spend on any charitable purposes. They exclude tangible fixed assets and programme related investments. At the year end the level of reserves were £199,320 (2019: £203,233). This figure includes investments as these are deemed to be free reserves. Excluding investments, the reserves at the year-end were £3,883 (2019: £17,081).

Plans for future periods

As the restrictive rules are slowly being released the Board have dared to think of holding some events, for example Afternoon tea with a speaker, coffee mornings around the County, Quiz evening to be held in 2 locations and the Carol Service which this year will be held in the Cathedral to mark our Centenary.

Along with Membership Support we look forward to continuing to support our WI's. Unfortunately we have lost a few over the past year for differing reasons. We are doing a Calendar for 2022 and we have also placed orders for the NFWI 2022 Diary so we are slowly getting back to normality.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 14 December 2021 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Cumbria - Cumberland Federation of Women's Institutes

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Cumbria - Cumberland Federation of Women's Institutes ('the charity') for the period ended 31 March 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

Cumbria - Cumberland Federation of Women's Institutes

Notes to the Financial Statements

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Womens Institute, 12a Clifford Court, Parkhouse Business Park, Carlisle, CA3 0JG.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

The financial statements have been prepared for a 15 month period therefore the comparative 12 month figures are not entirely comparable. The accounting period was extended at the request of the National Federation of Women’s Institutes.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Disclosure exemptions

The entity satisfies the criteria of being a small qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Therefore no cash flow statement has been presented for the charity.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Significant judgements

The trustees consider there were no significant judgements made in preparing the financial statements.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The trustees consider there are no key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that would have a material effect to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor.

Income arising on the endowment fund from the investments can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is therefore included within unrestricted funds. The endowment fund is an expendable endowment fund and therefore can be used to fund the charitable activities of the WI as authorised by the Trustees.

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity.

Leases

Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Cumbria - Cumberland Federation of Women's Institutes

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Plant & Machinery - 25% reducing balance
Fixtures & Fittings - 25% reducing balance
Computer Equipment - 33% reducing balance

Investments

Unlisted equity investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently measured at fair value. If fair value cannot be reliably measured, assets are measured at cost less impairment.

Listed investments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value being recognised in income or expenditure.

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which charity is entitled to receipt.

Investments are stated at market value. Income from investment is recognised on an accruals basis. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Programme related investments

Programme related investments are made exclusively to further the charity's aims by funding specific activities. Equity instruments are measured at their fair value at the reporting date if this can be measured reliably, or at cost less impairment. Concessionary loans are either initially measured at the amount received and paid and then adjusted in subsequent years to reflect repayments, interest and any impairment, or they are initially measured at the fair value and subsequently at their amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Programme related investments that are measured at cost or amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Any impairment losses are recognised immediately as a cost within 'expenditure on charitable activities' in the statement of financial activities.

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

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.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account (other than those held for investment purposes).

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.

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the charity will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.

Where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
