Trustees' Report incorporating the strategic report

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The trustees present their annual report together with the examined financial statements of Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the charity's governing document, and 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 (FRS102) (effective January 2015).

Structure, governance and management

Structure of the charity

Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee is a registered charity and the Trustees are listed on the Charity Commission Site.

The trustees are the trustees of Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. The Committee is made up of voluntary individuals with relevant corporate skills and an interest in our work.

Method of recruitment and appointment

Committee members are recruited through open advertisement in our facilities and word of mouth. Selection is carried out by the current committee members who evaluate the skills and experience of applicants against relevant criteria using assessments and interviews.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of Trustees

All trustees, upon appointment, are introduced to the trust by the chair and other committee members. A short briefing on charitable, statutory and fiduciary duties; the role of committee members; and business planning and strategy is included. The committee intend to introduce a more formal induction training during the following year.

Organisational structure and decision making

Strategy and business objectives are agreed by the committee annually and, where necessary, during the year. The Committee meets four times a year to review progress and to make decisions accordingly. There is also a regular operations meeting attended by representatives for trustees, management and volunteers. During this year a funding committee was introduced to deal more effectively with the lack of funds in the charity. All Health and Safety, staff policies and other legal/legislative matters are dealt with by the managers with support from the Committee.

Day-to-day management of the organisation is delegated to the two managers and the service support officers.

Risk management

The Trustees currently consider the possible risks associated with the operation of the Charity and the actions required to mitigate those risks during their committee meetings. The trustees will make a more formal approach to review of risks during the next business year.

Trustees' Report incorporating the strategic report (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Objectives and Activities

The trust’s principal objects are to provide a preventative day care service and other support services as appropriate in order to improve and maintain the welfare and wellbeing of older people within the local community supported by a significant band of volunteers.

The works of the trust include day centre activities including, provision of a hot meal; the provision of the Borough’s meals on wheels service and provision of a mobile library service for those who are house bound. The Lodge is also a strategic building to be utilised in need of a major emergency and is always on call.

The staffing structure consists of a manager, one part time support officer and a caretaker/cleaner. There are a further 3 paid part time staff with the Meals on Wheels service. All other roles are filled by volunteers. With a band of approximately 90 essential volunteers care is given to their recruitment and retention.

Strategic report

Achievements and performance

The results for the year are set out in the annexed financial statements.

Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee has met its planned revised targets by continuing to work within funding means as far as possible. During 2021/2022 the charity began to return to pre Covid openings although numbers are down and the Lodge is still not open on Monday or Wednesday. This, together with income from various grants has resulted in a deficit of £9,055 (2020/21 loss£22,121). Numbers are climbing and it is hoped to open for the further day during 2022/23, which together with an increase in revenue from hire of the building will close the deficit further.

The team at the Lodge have continued to spend time on applying for grants, both from the government and from other funders. This has achieved a massive figure of £29,670 to help continue to run the charity until such time as the income comes back from its activities. It is by no means certain that this level of grant income can be retained but every effort will be made to get help for the deficit which needs funding.

The Lodge has also benefitted from a reduction in the rent creditor during the period as the lease for the premises was finally agreed and invoices issued for outstanding amounts. This coupled with some reduction in rent during the Covid period has seen a return to reserves of some £52,916. All outstanding amounts have been agreed and paid.

Public benefit

No private benefit is derived from the activities of the charity. The Trustees believe that the work of the Committee demonstrates a real public benefit in both preventative works and to the wider community.

Principal risks and uncertainties

Trustees' Report incorporating the strategic report (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2022

The Committee have continued to work on filling the funding gap left by the withdrawal of the grant from The London Borough of Sutton (Please see above achievements and performance report). These results show the effort so far achieved and the ability of the trust to continue to close this gap.

As noted above, the pandemic has not aided this situation in the current year but all work continues to give the charity full funding. The trustees continue to apply for all government and other support during the current months, post year end, including the rates rebates, rent holidays and any specific grant applicable to the Lodge.

Financial management and reserves policies

The charity’s business plan and associated financial budget is prepared by the treasurer and management staff and approved by the Board of Trustees; the charity’s risks and reserves policy are updated as part of this process and are incorporated into any plans.

Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee retains at least three months expenditure as “free” reserves to meet the shortfalls in income or unexpected expenses.

The Trustees keep under review the need for free reserves, which are those unrestricted funds not otherwise designated. There are currently no restricted funds and those reserved accounts are able to be used were this to become appropriate.

Related parties and co-operating with other organisations

None of our trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager of the charity must be disclosed to the full board of trustees in the same way as any contractual relationship with a related party. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.

Employee involvement and employment of the disabled

All employees and were appropriate volunteers have the opportunity for training, career development and promotion in accordance with their skills and ability.

The charity recognised its responsibility to disabilities and equal opportunities as required and has continued to ensure that all employees are considered on an equal basis in respect of all areas of employment, including recruitment, training, career development and promotion. We endeavour to promote continuing employment and, where necessary, arrange appropriate training for employees who have become disabled or need other help during their employment.

The charity has implemented a number of detailed policies in relation to all aspects of personnel matters including:

Trustees' Report incorporating the strategic report (continued)

For the year ended 31 March 2022

Full details of these policies are available from the charity's offices.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees have done additional work and held extra meetings during the pandemic and are presently of the opinion that this charity is a going concern.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Members and Trustees of Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee

For the year ended 31 March 2022

We have audited the financial statements of Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the balance sheet, the statement of financial activities, the statement of cash flows, and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102. The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

This report is made solely to the charity's members and trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. Our examination has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members and trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner’s 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 charity and its members and trustees as a body, for our work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view. We have been appointed auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with this Act. Our responsibility is to examine and express an opinion on the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors.

Scope of the audit of the financial statements

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanation from the trustees concerning any such matter. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in audit, and consequently we do not express an opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination no matter has come to my attention, which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

Have not been met or to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1. Accounting Policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes(s) to these accounts.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.

These financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 comply with FRS102 and Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

1.2 Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the charity will continue to have sufficient resources available to it to continue as a going concern.

Management prepares, and the trustees review, regular financial information which summarises financial performance to date and that forecast for future periods. That financial information also includes cash flow projections. The trustees have considered the future trading forecasts of the charity, together with its levels of forecast capital expenditure and cash reserves. Accordingly, they have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis at present.

Additional work has continued to be done during the continual Covid lockdowns including extra meetings and figures for cash flow forecasts on various bases. All relevant grants and donations have been sought and the Charity has taken some advantage of the government grant for furlough during the second lockdown. The trustees are still of the opinion that cash resources are adequate for a further period of eighteen months without any improvement of funds or situation.

1.3 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. There are currently no restricted funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2022

1.4 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has entitlement to the funds, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants receivable in respect of specified period relating to the general activities of the charity are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate or cover.

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular activities they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Motor Vehicles - Over 5 years Equipment - Over 3 to 5 years

1.7 Liabilities

Liabilities are recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay cash or other assets, and are carried at the present value of the obligation until the obligation is extinguished.

Sutton Council are now raising rent invoices quarterly and the large creditor has therefore been settled. This has shown an improvement in the 2021-22 accounts as the rent foregone by Sutton Council and rent foregone by the Council due to Covid reductions has been written back into reserves.

1.8 Taxation

Sutton Old People’s Welfare Committee is a registered charity and is subject to neither corporation tax nor income tax on its charitable activities.

2. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

There are no material judgements or estimates applied in the preparation of these accounts.

Direct costs are allocated to the charitable activities on the basis of headcount or on the estimated service delivered by the support service or other bases if these are more appropriate.

In previous years the costs of running the meals on wheels have been netted off against the grant from Sutton Council. This should be shown separately in the costs and this has now been done. No adjustment has been done to the prior year, if this had been done a transfer of £3,860 of costs would have been the amount.

Direct costs are stated after charging depreciation of tangible fixed assets of £1,017 (2021 £1,263)
