REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Activities

Following the extraordinary General meeting held on 31st March 2021 it was decided unanimously by the board that the scope of the charity needed to be broadened and the following change to the objects of the charity was proposed:

"To promote the positive mental health, wellbeing and development of children and young people through all and any means both preventative and restorative; to include, but not limited to, education, therapy/counselling, physical activity, social skills, linguistic and communication enrichment, emotional support, parental engagement and support."

At the same meeting on 31st March 2021 it was also unanimously decided by the board to change the name of the charity to better reflect the new scope of the Charity's objects. The new name settled on was "Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd".

Nicol Thomas undertook the complex process with the Charity Commission and Companies House with the following result:

Objects Change: Formal consent was given by the Charity Commission to change the objects of the charity on 11th September 2021 and an EGM was held on 10th December 2021 at which the board voted unanimously for a special resolution to change the Charity's objects. Once the resolution had been passed and the charity's articles had been amended these were sent to Companies House to be registered. All documents related to the goal change were accepted by Companies House on 19th January 2022.

Name Change: The Charity is also a company so registration of the new charity name had initially to be agreed by Companies House. The Certificate of Incorporation on Change of Name was received by Companies House on 19th July 2021.

The Charity Commission agreed to the name change on 1st October 2021.

Donations

Donations are given both generally to support the work of charities such as Parenting Mental Health and Place2Be, but also targeted at specific projects which are run by the charities; The Forest School and South Kent Mind. It is envisaged that donations will be increasingly targeted at specific projects but this will not be to the exclusion of continuing to support the excellent work that many charities undertake in supporting the growing number of children and young people who are experiencing mental health issues.

The following donations were given:

The Forest School (a CIC) was given a donation for the provision of outdoor therapeutic education for 3 specific projects:

1) Families focusing on communication, attachment and cohesion,

2) Young people who have fallen through the cracks and no longer attend school,

3) Young people who are asylum seekers. Place2be (Charity) - provision of counselling in schools for children and young people.

South Kent Mind (Charity) - wellbeing courses delivered to children and young people in local secondary and primary schools with an further project for young people who have attended courses becoming wellbeing ambassadors. Parenting Mental Health (Charity) - charity supporting parents with their children/YPs experiencing mental health issues.

Planning Permission for Charity Land, Area 3

Historically this Charity was set up in 1979 to provide an Outward Bound Centre for disadvantaged children. Land and the officer's mess (part of the Hawkinge Airfield) was purchased to provide this facility. The Centre ran successfully for a few years however financially it became untenable. The Charity Commission agreed that Hawkinge Activity and Adventure Centre (as the charity was known historically) would become a dispensing charity. Hawkinge was being developed at that stage so with planning permission for housing the land could provide valuable funds for the Charity. The land was divided into 3 tranches and Area 1 and 2 have been sold. All debts were repaid and the charity was left with a significant boost to funds which were invested to provide a regular income.

Blueberry Wellbeing has an ongoing promotion agreement with Dean Lewis Estates to obtain planning permission for the final Area. Once planning permission is obtained the land will be sold to provide further funds for the charity. However the process is slow and there are many hurdles likely to occur before final planning permission is agreed and the land can be sold. We are hopeful that the process will be completed and the land sold in the next 2-3 years though we are fully aware that national and international events may affect both the sale and value of the land.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Accounts and Investment update

The charity accounts remain healthy. Regular income is provided through investments enabling a significant level of donations to be made. A contingency fund is maintained in current and savings accounts both for unexpected costs that may occur through the process of obtaining planning permission and the subsequent sale of the Area 3 but also with a view to funding larger projects in the future.

Monies invested at Barratt and Cooke increased significantly prior to the war in Ukraine with a gain of circa £250,000 (January 2022) on the initial capital investment however this gain had fallen by 31st March 2022. The gain is likely to fall further given the ongoing volatile geopolitical situation and it's inevitable effects on the markets. However a healthy income has been maintained throughout the financial year which has enabled donations to continue. Agreement was made with Barratt and Cooke that the regular income would continue irrespective of market volatility and the effect on the value of the capital.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy and objectives

Following research of investment options in order to produce an income for the charity, investments have been made through a nationally recognised reputable company established in 1880 and registered with the FSA and The London Stock Exchange. Income from these investments will enhance the scope of donations to be made as a dispensing charity as approved by the Charity Commission.

As at the year end, listed fixed investments held by the charity were valued at £2,089,134 and current asset investments at £24,380 .

Reserves policy

The charity had total reserves of £3,115,093 (2021 - £2,928,366), of which £401,230 (2021 - £401,230) relates to the property revaluation fund which is not distributable until realised. There are no restricted or designated reserves held by the charity.

Members' liability

The Members of the company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the company in the event of winding up.

FUTURE PLANS

The Charity will look to focus more on specific targeted projects working with organisations and individuals focusing on;

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BLUEBERRY WELLBEING LTD

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  3. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Blueberry Wellbeing Ltd is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Reference and Administrative Details page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency and is rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and there are no material uncertainties that cast significant doubt on the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attached are fulfilled. 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.

Office equipment - 25% on cost

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation 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.
