Our main income is from rents. We have two flats, two offices, and Car Park spaces. We use Young and Gilling, Estate Agents as our agents and they arrange all lettings, investigations and repairs to the property. Due in main to Covid-19 limitations no rent was received from the Club prior to its closure in September however, we did receive £6,495 on closure of the Club accounts. Also as a result of Covid-19 there is an outstanding amount from tenants managed by Young and Gilling totalling £3,143 which should be cleared during early 2022.

Our other regular annual income is from our rebate from Membership fees from HQ RAFA for 2021 which totalled £1,226.

Our regular expenditure is for Utilities, Cleaners, Security Alarms, Building Insurance, Auditor fees and general repairs and maintenance. The utilities costs increased from September as the Branch assumed responsibility for the basement area due to the vacation by the Club.

Our major expenditure in 2021 has been the internal and external refurbishment projects totalling £79,842. The regular annual expenses concerning National and Area Conferences delegate fees and training were minimal this year as a result of the continued Covid-19 restrictions. Treasurer expenses totalled £67 which included transport, stationery, IT and postage.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For The Year Ended 31 December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, 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 accounts 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 Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance

The freehold property is shown in the balance sheet at cost which is so far below any market value that the trustees have not revalued it or sought to depreciate it on an annual basis.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
