FINANCIAL REVIEW
Council of Management (COMI and Executive Committee Activities in 2024
There were four full Com meetings. At all Com meetings Conflict of Interests, Safeguarding and
Financial Risks were considered. In addition, the monthly Management accounts were prepared,
together with updates regarding Bank and Reserve Holdings.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Financial Statements show a significant increase in Fixed Assets, representing the Freehold of the
Barn building and land, which was very generously gifted as part of the Will of Christopher Robinson,
the original founder of the Bam. The £472,278 is shown as a Fixed Asset in the Balance Sheet and as
'Gift in Kind. in the Income & Expenditure account. since it does not represent actual cash income.
At the 2024 Year End, afterexcluding the Gift in Kind. the operational loss was £76.309, with an overall
Net Loss of£69,485 after the net gains on investments were applied. The Balance Sheet Total Funds
at the year end stood at £759,021, reduced by the £76,309 operational loss but boosted by the
£472,278 Freehold, resulting in a net increase of £395, 969.
Incoming Resources
In 2024 Total Income (excluding the Gift in Kind) increased to £196.608 {2023-. £168, 2341. Donations
at £57,288 (2023.. £31,601} were higherthan last year. Day Centre Fees at £98,76312023= £84,892)
reflected the continued strong Member numbers and attendances. Income from Fundraising events
continued to be strong. Investment InGome fell slightiy to £8,188 (2023.. £8,874).
Resources Expended
The Total Resources Expended were £272,917 (2023.. £200,412). Staff costs increased byjust under
230/0. Staff pay levels are kept in line wilh, but slightly above, those of the National Living Wage levels
and are set by the Executive Committee before being agreed at Council of Management meetings. The

£5,662}. £31,185 (2023.- £12,022) was spent on repairs.
Net Resour￿$ IncominglExpended - This resulted in a £76,309 net loss as against £32,178 net loss in
2024.
Reserves
The Year End value of the Reserves held in the CCLA portfolio was £251,673 (2023.. £302,849). The
policy continues to be to retain this Reserve as CCLA Investment Units as far as possible at a level
which enables the Council of Management to make changes to the day to day operations at the Barn
as considered necessary and to retain sufficient easily accessible reserves to allow the Barn to operate
for up to 12 months in the event of an emergency.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
I report on the accounls of Ferriers Bam Limited for the year ended 31 December 2024 which
are set out on pages 6 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's
Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2} of the
Charities Act 2011 (The Act) but that an independent examination is needed. The charities
gross income exceeded £250,000 and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being a
qualified member of Association of Accounting Technicians.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners {under section 14515)(bl of the Charities Act, and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's Statement
My examination was carried OLrt in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept
by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes considerations of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking
explanations from you as trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examine￿8 statement
In the course of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which
gives me cause to believe that in. any material respect..
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act., or
the accounts did not accord wilh Ihe accounting records., or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements conceming the
form and content of the 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 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.
