Keynsham & District MENCAP Society 

## Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. The trustees continue to adopt the provisions of 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). 

## RESERVES 

The board of Trustees has agreed to amend our Reserves Policy so that we aspire to maintain a general level of funding at or near 70% of annual running costs. 

The Property Reserve should stand as we still hope that the Society will be able to acquire property both for HQ/office space as well as an area from which to run some weekly clubs. 

## REPORT ON THE YEAR 

The year ending March 2025 has been challenging once again, with a continual need to find imaginative ways to raise funds whilst monitoring and controlling our running costs. Despite our efforts, this year’s challenges have resulted in a cash deficit. 

We have also struggled to recruit the number of individuals required to run our various clubs and we continue to advertise for paid roles, and more volunteers who do an outstanding job of keeping our clubs going and making them a fun place to be for all. 

The Society has seen the arrival of 3 new Trustees this year. However, we are always hoping to expand our knowledge base further and would welcome any additional candidates to join the board. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of 

Keynsham & District MENCAP Society 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Keynsham & District MENCAP Society** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Keynsham & District MENCAP Society (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024 

## **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. 

## **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. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

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

## **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.
