TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees who are Directors of the charitable company present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 (October 2019), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES

The overall objective of the charity is to relieve and prevent suffering caused by mental or physical ill health, especially by supporting children and young people and their families. These are set out in our Vision Statement, Mission Statement and our Values.

Vision Statement

Our ambition is for a future full of equal choices and opportunities for disabled children, young people and their families, empowering them to live as ordinary lives as possible and aspiring for the extraordinary.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to deliver a quality service that values the views and enables the voice of disabled children, young people and their families in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to be heard. We aim to provide a range of holistic, impartial, empowering specialist services both through our own resources and in partnership with the statutory authorities and other voluntary sector groups.

Within the framework of everything we do, we aim to identify unmet needs and offer effective support, which is in line with current legislation and concepts of good practice.

We value diversity and believe that every child or young person, whatever their needs, has the equal right to take part fully in their community and to have the same choices, opportunities and experiences as other children. Our ambition is to help families live as ordinary lives as possible.

Values

Menphys aims to work effectively and efficiently with regards to the law and the following values:

MENPHYS LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Menphys continues to focus on the development of the Charity’s management and operational structures and resources, with the aim of building a sustainable funding model whilst continuing to provide high quality care and services.

The delivery of services is aligned around 4 core service pillars: Clubs & Groups; Family Support; Individual Support; Employability and Work Experience.

The growth, expansion and development of services has now been set out in the Charity’s 3 year strategy which aligns with the key aims of the Charity. These aims are to:

Whilst these aims are underpinned by the significant investment that Menphys continues to make in its core facilities the immediate and future growth and expansion of services has been enabled through key partnerships and the development of services in a number of locations across the City and County.

The Hub continues to be the Head Office for the Charity and a focus for the delivery, development and expansion of services as well as core event fundraising, community activities and commercial trading.

The Donation Centre, along with Latimer St, provides valuable income to the charity, incorporating both a coffee shop and shops for selling donated goods.

The ‘out-base’ model developed at Barley Croft some years ago has been extended to Parent & Toddler Groups and After School Clubs. Menphys now operates in multiple locations across the City and County.

Collaboration with key partners, such as the Leicester Riders, Leicestershire County Cricket and CEL Sports Ltd, is a key enabler of the growth and expansion elements of the strategy and is set to continue.

Menphys remain committed to providing and developing a range of holistic services for families with children and young people with disabilities from across Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland. This will continue to be founded on research and understanding of their broader needs.

The charity measures the impact of its aims and objectives by monitoring participation levels of service users in the various services and activities the charity provides. This is measured in numbers of participants and in the number of hours of participation.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Activities

1) Menphys Activity Clubs and Groups

The Menphys Saturday and After School Clubs operate during term time offering children and young people with a range of disabilities the opportunity to meet within a friendly, supportive and needs-led environment. Here they can enjoy social engagement with other children, develop social confidence and new skills and build friendships and have fun. These Clubs also support Club Member’s parents, carers and siblings, providing them with much needed respite.

The Parent & Toddler Groups provide opportunities for parents of young children to come together in a supported play environment where they benefit from the interaction and companionship of other parents whilst their children benefit from greater social inclusion through play in the very early years of their lives.

2) Family Support

The Family Support pilot has continued to deliver significant support and secure much needed benefits for families assisting them to complete applications for Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and Personal Independence Payments (PIP) allowances, school provisions and Education Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).

3) Individual Support

Menphys provides tailored opportunities and support. These are aimed at meeting the particular needs of individuals and groups of children, young people and their families. Support is delivered directly by Menphys staff, volunteers or through specialist and trusted third party providers.

This enables children and young people to enjoy life enriching experiences with their families. It also provides them with life-enhancing skills and personal development opportunities.

4) Experience and Employability Programme

Prior to COVID Menphys operated 2 employability and life skills programmes for young adults with a disability, the Work Ready Crew (WRC) and Volunteer Development Programmes (VDP) offering high quality work experience to support the transition into adulthood.

Evidence from the two pilots and further research in 2022-23 has shown that young people with a disability often need extra help to build key life skills and confidence, particularly in the context of work. They also need access to employers who are in tune with their needs.

Using this research, Menphys will now look to develop a single Employability Programme that will support young people as they transition into adulthood.

5) The Menphys Nurseries

Menphys Limited is associated with the two Leicestershire County Council run and maintained Nursery Schools at Launceston Road, Wigston, Leicester LE18 2FR and Sketchley Hill, Burbage, LE10 2DY. Funding for the construction of both these Nurseries was provided by Menphys Limited, and the charity continues to provide adhoc additional financial support when required.

To maintain the link, two representatives from the Menphys Charity sit on the Governing Body of both Maintained Nursery Schools.

MENPHYS LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aim and objectives. The charity provides public benefit through the services provided to all disabled children, young people and their families in Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland.

Menphys volunteers continued to play a key role in the delivery of services and events during the year. Whilst the number of volunteers supporting the charity has increased in all locations throughout the year this is a key area of focus for further growth in 2024.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Throughout the year, the number of children and families registered with Menphys for support continued to grow. This growth enabled Menphys to extend its reach and enhance its impact by offering more immediate and long-term social benefits. These benefits were provided to the children, young people, families, and wider communities we support through increased participation, as well as the expansion and development of new services.

These achievements include:

1) Menphys Activity Clubs and Groups

Menphys operate a range of clubs to provide children and young people, with a range of disabilities, with the opportunity to meet within a friendly, supportive and needs-led environment where they can enjoy social engagement with other children, develop social confidence and new skills and build friendships and have fun.

In total, members took part in 968 hours of regular club activity whilst providing 2,904 hours of respite for Parent/Carers and siblings.

5) Community Support

The Menphys Hub and The Donation Centre continue to provide support to the local community through the provision of volunteering opportunities for members of the local community in the Coffee Shop, Shops and Library.

The Menphys Hub, especially the Library, is a valuable community resource in South Wigston. In addition to providing meeting rooms and disability friendly facilities it is also a place for people to meet and to access library services.

In addition to the conventional services, the Library also has a ‘community table’ which is available to local community groups on a free of charge basis to come together and to support members.

Groups regularly using the Community Table during the year had a total of approximately 40 members:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The results for the year ended 31 March 2024 are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities. This, together with the accompanying Balance Sheet, should be read in conjunction with the related notes which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102).

Total income for the year amounted to £509,290 (2023 - £777,639). The principal funding source was trading activity and donations including the sale of donated goods. Total expenditure for the year amounted to £977,833 (2023 - £838,103). A breakdown of expenditure is set out in notes to the Financial Statements.

After transfers between funds, there was a net decrease in restricted funds for the year totalling £6,918 and a net decrease in unrestricted funds totalling £461,540. This has resulted in a total decrease in funds for the year of £468,458. The funds for the charity at the year-end totalled £1,059,993 which comprise restricted funds of £207,957 and unrestricted funds of £852,036, of which £413,314 has been designated (for the purposes stated in note 22), leaving £438,722 as general funds. In October 2024 Menphys employed a new CEO, Robert Martin. At this time the charity began a restructure of staff and expenses to ensure that Menphys is financially sustainable and can meet our liabilities and our charitable purpose. The restructure has significantly reduced Menphys’ costs and the board of trustees deem that it is financially secure for the future.

Reserves Policy

Reserves are needed to provide financial resilience to cope with periods of adverse financial conditions, most notably an unforeseeable reduction in income or inflationary pressures on the Charity’s operating costs. The Charity’s reserves policy is to maintain free reserves (unrestricted general funds less tangible and intangible fixed assets) to a level of 9 months of expenditure, being approximately £725,000.

This will allow the Charity’s core activities to be maintained in the short to medium term due. As at 31 March 2024 the Charity currently has free reserves of £374,598 (see note 23), made up of its Investments and Current Assets/(Liabilities), this is the equivalent of 4-5 months of expenditure.

MENPHYS LIMITED

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Fundraising

Expenditure on raising funds totalled £449,328 (2023 - £424,601) which helped generate income from donations of £126,268 (2023 - £130,293) and income from other trading activities of £278,438 (2023 - £272,063).

Fundraising was bolstered by the receipt of a legacy of £47,000 (being Menphys estimated share of an estate). This was very welcome news given the very challenging fundraising environment.

A full events programme was delivered during the year anchored by the annual Menphys Carol Concert and the Menphys Sports Club events. Whilst receipts for the Carol Concert were improved on the previous year overall event income decrease by £20,608 versus the previous year.

Grant Funding continued to disappoint with only £9,192 secured in the year (2023 - £16,336). Feedback from Grant Funders indicated that the continued increased demand for support and the challenging economic environment meant that funders were unable to meet all requests regardless of the merits of the work Menphys does.

The sales environment for the Menphys retails and coffee shops remained challenging against the very difficult cost of living issues. Despite this sales of donated goods remained on par with the previous whilst Cafe Income increased by £28,417.

The investment in the Hub has been a key enabler for the redevelopment of Menphys enabling additional income to be generated through a range of community events, in supporting the fundraising programme and delivering services. However, the loss of an anchor room hire client at the start of 2023 proved impossible to replace immediately, and whilst steady progress has been made in bringing in new clients, net income from investments fell by £50,483.

All fundraising undertaken during the year was carried out directly by the charity and in line with the charity’s objectives. In order to protect vulnerable people from unreasonably, intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches and pressure to donate, the charity does not make direct approaches to individual members of the public. No complaints about its fundraising activities were received by the charity during the year.

Risk Management

The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Procedures have been established to mitigate these risks and are regularly addressed at the Board meetings. The principal risks identified for the year ahead is our cost base and our ability to access sufficient funding to sustain the charity.

Whilst inflation has eased the Charity’s cost base has increased substantially over the past 3 years. Mitigating these costs is very challenging whilst demand from the families we support continues to grow.

Fundraising has been particularly challenging over the past 3 years, initially as a consequence of what was a healthy Reserve, meaning Menphys were much less likely to qualify for support from grant giving organisations, Trusts and Foundations.

This situation has been compounded more generally by a significant focus of these organisation towards supporting projects that ease cost of living pressures and related issues within the community.

With a substantially reduce Reserve it is vitally important that Menphys improves income levels through grant funding, donations and its own trading whilst realigning its cost base accordingly.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper adequate 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.

MENPHYS LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENPHYS LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Menphys Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, 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 FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 charitable 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

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustee's Report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustee's Report. 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.

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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

MENPHYS LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENPHYS LIMITED

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement set out on page 10, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose 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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.

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.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. However, responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud ultimately rests with both those charged with governance and management of the charitable company.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

MENPHYS LIMITED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF MENPHYS LIMITED

Audit response to risks identified

Our procedures to respond to risks identified included the following:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' 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 charitable company's trustees 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 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Menphys Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and place of business is given in the legal and administrative information page of these financial statements.

1.1 Basis of preparation

The charitable company is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with: the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), Accounting and Reporting by Charities: the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 (2019), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

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

These financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention modified to include the revaluation of investments. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity that the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for specific purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income recognition

Income is recognised when the charitable company has legal entitlement to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised at the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Donated facilities and donated services are recognised as income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

Government grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with reliability. If entitlement is not met, then the amounts are deferred.

Income from charitable activities primarily includes grant income and subscription fees for Saturday Clubs, Family Events and the Work Ready Crew. Such income is recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with reliability. If entitlement is not met, then the amounts are deferred.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from the retail shop and café, fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred. Donated items of stock for resale are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold because the trustees consider it is impractical to fair value the items due to the large volume of low value items.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes. It comprises bank interest, dividends and room hire income, which are recognised on an accruals basis.

1.5 Expenditure recognition

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 are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Expenditure is recognised when 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. It is recognised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expensed for which it was incurred.

1.6 Support costs

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and costs of raising funds and include office costs, governance costs, and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Support costs are allocated to costs of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

The analysis of these costs is included in note 11.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.7 Intangible fixed assets

Intangible assets are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Website 33% per annum of cost

1.8 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold land and buildings 2% per annum of cost Short leasehold improvements Straight line over the duration of the lease Fixtures, fittings & equipment 15%, 20% and 33% per annum of cost

1.9 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset’s cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.

1.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.11 Financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are measured at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the SOFA.

Investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in the SOFA.

1.12 Employee benefits

When employees have rendered service to the charity, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

1.13 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

(Continued)

1.14 Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

1.15 Taxation

Menphys Limited is a registered charity and no taxation provision is required as its income from charitable activities falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, 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.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

Allocation of support costs

The allocation of support costs is sensitive to changes in the level of work undertaken on each activity by the charity. The allocation is reassessed annually and amended when necessary to reflect current estimates.

The Wigston Nursery fund represents the net book value of the Menphys Nursery Building, Wigston, which was purchased out of grants and donations specifically given for this purpose.

The Building fund represents grants and donations specifically given towards the costs of building projects.

The Menphys Activity Clubs and Groups fund includes Saturday Clubs, After School Clubs, Mini Menphys parent and toddler activities and Holiday provision. These Clubs and groups offer the opportunity for children and young people with a range of disabilities to meet within a friendly, supportive and needs-led environment to socialise and have fun. The Clubs operate at a loss each year and are therefore supported by general reserves (hence the transfer of £161,079 from general reserves).

The Volunteer Development Programme fund represents amounts set aside to provide structured volunteering experiences for disabled young people.

The Therapy and Sensory Rooms fund - Grants were received to contribute to the construction and equipment of the new Sensory and Therapy Rooms in The Menphys Hub.

The Family Support Service fund represents grants and donations received for enriching and engaging support direct to the families at home. The current year includes donations through the Christmas gift appeal, and a grant from Cash for Kids to provide essential items for the return to school year. This fund has been supported by a transfer of £170,756 from general reserves.

Menphys received funding from Happy Days Children's Charity to support a Pantomime trip (£1,340).

The District Partner Initiative fund - includes amounts received from Leicestershire County Council SHIRE Community Grants (£7,890), Oakland Foundation (£1,656) and Charnwood Borough Council (£1,000) to support the Mini Menphys parent and toddler activities in the prior year. From 2023/24 this fund is shown under Menphys Activity Clubs and Groups.

The Hub Development fund - We received £2,075 from Blaby District Council's Community Grants Scheme towards a PA system which was purchased in 2022/23. This fund has been supported by a transfer of £2,704 from general reserves.

Screwfix Foundation fund - £1,145 was received in the prior year from the Screwfix Foundation to upgrade lighting at the Menphys Hub to efficient LEDs.
