The Trustees confirm that the financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities, which is applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Our Mission

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark aims to empower and enable older people to lead fulfilled lives by:

We seek to be a dynamic, credible, trusted and sustainable organisation. All of our services are designed to support and empower older people.

The charity's legal objects are : to promote the following purposes for the benefit of the public and/or older people in and around Lewisham and Southwark: -

4

Ensuring our work delivers our purposes and aims

The charity continues to develop effective ways of serving older people, including preventive activities and services to support healthy ageing. It supports the local voluntary sector, and engages in joint planning for, and influencing of, local services with both statutory and voluntary organisations. In reviewing our alms and objectives, and in planning our future activities, the Trustees refer to theCharity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities can contribute to our aims and objectives.

To ensure that our services can benefit those older people with the greatest need, we accept referrals from a variety of sources. We also take every available opportunity to publicise our programmes and to provide holistic support for older people through collaboration with other organisations.

Key Achievements

The year 2020-21 started with the first Covid19 lockdowns, with uncertainty and fear being key features of life for many older people in our boroughs. Much of our face-to-face work was suspended during the lockdowns and we worked hard to move our services online or make them accessible by telephone as well as developing a range of new socially-distanced working models. Staff were supported to work from home where possible, using new technology to enable internet-based telephone calls as well as video calling etc. We temporarily closed our two Southwark day centres and redeployed the staff to deliver thousands of freshly cooked meals and activity packs to the former attendees (and many other isolated and vulnerable older people). We redesigned much of our work, including making over 5,000 proactive phone calls to check on the welfare of vulnerable older people in Southwark and providing Lewisham’s front line Covid support line (taking 12,000 calls in 5 months for residents wanting to access food, befriending and other vital support services). We continued to deliver face-to-face Food2You shopping services and opened our other services for in-person support whenever this was considered safe. Against this backdrop we also launched our new Ageing Well Southwark service, and the newly configured Community Connections Lewisham services.

January 2021 due to lockdown restrictions.

Handyperson Service:

The Handyperson service adapted to cope with the social-distancing requirements of Covid. Essential jobs only were delivered from April 2020 to September 2020 and then again from January 2021 to I think it was March 2021.

Shop and Drop:

This temporary Covid response provided a shopping service for older people temporarily unable to leave their homes due to Covid, lockdown or quarantine restrictions.

Structure. Governance and Management

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark (AUKLS) is an independent Registered Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee, responsible for its own policy, direction, and funding. AUKLS is a Charity formed from a merger of Age Concern Southwark and Age Concern Lewisham in 2006.

In April 2021 the Constitution was changed, to enact those parts of the changes that had been agreed at the November 2019 AGM which had been accepted by the Charity Commission. The changes were to bring the charity in line with best practice in relation to the length of time that Trustees can serve, and to amend the membership criteria to reflect our current membership more appropriately. These new/amended clauses are:

12.2. Further membership is open to anyone who is interested in advancing the charity’s purposes, and who, by applying for membership has indicated his, her or its agreement to become a member and acceptance of the duty of members set out in sub-clause 12.3. A member may be an individual or a voluntary organisation.

12.3 It is the duty of each member of the charity to exercise his or her powers as a member of the organisation in the way he or she decides in good faith would be most likely to further the purposes of the organisation.

12.4 The charity trustees may require applications for membership to be made in any reasonable way that they decide

20.3 Any person who retires as a charity trustee by rotation or by giving notice to the charity is eligible for reappointment, unless they are at the end of their third term or have served for the maximum of 9 years – whichever amounts to the greatest number of total years served as a trustee since the adoption of these articles in 2014.

The Board of Trustees of the Charity governs its affairs. Trustees are also Directors of the Company. The Trustees have a broad range of skills, experience, and backgrounds. The Articles of Association allow for Organisational Members as well as individual Trustees, and as at 31 March 2019 there were 10 individual Trustees and 14 Organisational Members.

The Board takes overall responsibility for ensuring that the financial, legal and contractual responsibilities of the charity are met, and that there are satisfactory systems of controls and of risk management. It decides on policy and strategy, and ensures that the organisation fulfils its objectives. The Board meets at least quarterly. There are also Finance and Operational subcommittees of the Board that meet quarterly.

The day-to-day management of the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, who works with a team of managers to fulfil the charity's objectives. The Chief Executive Officer reports to the Chair and Board.

AUKLS is a Brand Partner of Age UK England, which allows AUKLS to ensure that the issues and concerns of older adults in Lewisham and Southwark are brought to the attention of policy makers, at national, regional and local levels.

We are proud holders of the Age UK Organisational Quality Standard which certifies that we are a well-governed and effective organisation committed to the wellbeing of older people, our staff, volunteers and partners. We re-secured this certification in 2021 and will seek its renewal when

8

this is next required (subject to notice from Age UK).

Our Information and Advice Service holds the Age UK Information and Advice Quality Mark. This is a quality assurance for organisations which provide to the public advice on social welfare issues. It recognises the high standard of advice we provide for older people locally.

We continue to be accredited for the NHS Data Security & Protection Toolkit Standard in relation to our information governance.

AUKLS remains an independent local charity, run by local people, for local people. It continues to provide high-quality services at local level, supporting older adults to maintain their independence, dignity and well-being. It is also a member of The Age England Association, and Age UK London.

Risk Management

Trustees regularly assess and review the most important strategic and operational risks to the charity, and ensure that systems and procedures are in place to monitor and mitigate these. A risk register is maintained outlining the likelihood of any potentially damaging outcome, the potential impact of such an outcome, and detailing who is responsible within the organisation for monitoring the risks and for taking relevant steps to mitigate these. These steps include ways of reducing both likelihood and impact.

The key risks and mitigations identified for the year were: -

9

implemented; Data protection covered in all operational risk registers; Business Continuity Plan developed;"

Pay Policy for Senior Staff

Key Management Personnel are considered to be the Trustees and the Chief Executive. The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually by the Trustees, and is benchmarked against pay levels in similar charities. All Trustees give their time freely, and none have received any remuneration or expenses during the year.

Responsibilities of the Board of Trustees

Company law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date, and of its incoming resources, and application of resources, including income and expenditure. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees should follow best practice, and:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charitable Company, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Account and

Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charitable Company, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

10

Financial Review

Our work is funded by a mixture of income earned from services delivered, grants from local authorities, other statutory bodies, charitable trusts and foundations, and donations from individuals and corporate bodies. The main funding sources for year were from Southwark and Lewisham Councils.

This year saw the start of our Ageing Well Southwark (Older People and Carers Hub) contract with Southwark Council (which deliver in partnership with our COPSINS partners) and major changes to our Community Connections and SAIL projects in Lewisham in response to lessons learned from the Covid pandemic response.

During the year a number of organisations funded us to support our members that were impacted by the pandemic and we are very grateful for their flexibility and consideration.

Our insurance policy allowed us to make a claim for income that was otherwise lost due to the closure of our Stones End Day Centre.

Drawing monies from the Government’s furlough scheme allowed us to support our staff and minimise the financial impact to the organisation.

Reserves Policy

As at 31 March 2021, total reserves were £904,589 of which none were restricted. The reserves policy aims to ensure we can:

The Trustees consider that 3 to 4 months' future expenditure is the target range for these purposes. This gives a target range for free reserves of between £530k and £710k. The actual amount of £904,589 was above this range as at 31 March 2021. The impact of COVID19 which could start to be felt at the end of the financial year would demonstrate the importance of having healthy reserves.

Going Concern

The Trustees believe that that there are no material uncertainties that call into doubt the charity's ability to continue Its activities. The accounts have therefore been prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern.

11

Investment Policy

The Investment Policy seeks to strike a balance between holding sufficient cash levels to meet working capital requirements, and investing that part of the reserves held for longer periods in assets that are likely to keep pace with rising costs.

The policy is to hold the majority of funds in liquid assets to deal with short-term requirements and guard against volatility, and a smaller portion in assets likely to achieve some capital growth.

Cash is invested in a variety of UK banks that are covered by Financial Services Compensation Scheme [FSCS]. A balance is struck between instant access, notice accounts and fixed term deposits, dependent on cash flow requirements.

Non-cash investments are in collective schemes to achieve the required diversity

Disclosure of information to Auditors

So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware, and the Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditors are aware of that information.

Auditors

Goldwins Limited have indicated their willingness to continue in office, and in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 a resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting that they be appointed as auditors to the company for the ensuing year.

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Age UK Lewisham and Southwark for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, 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, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Opinion on financial statements

In our opinion the financial statements:

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 Auditorʼs responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRCʼs 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 charity'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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditorʼs report thereon. 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.

13

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of the trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

14

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charityʼs 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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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 auditorʼs 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 are set out below.

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures 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. 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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Councilʼs website at: [www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities]. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

15

Independent Auditor’s Report

To the members of

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’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 the charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies

a) Basis of preparation

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 (FRS 102 - effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are recognised at historical cost or transaction value.

b) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Income received in advance for the performance of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

d) Donations of gifts, services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

e) Interest receivable

f) Fund accounting

g) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once 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. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services and small grants undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support and governance costs. Charitable activities are analysed into the three main activity areas undertaken by the charity.

VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred as Age Uk Lewisham and Southwark is not VAT registered

20

Age UK Lewisham and Southwark Notes to the Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting policies (continued)

h) Allocation of support and governance costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the services for older people. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. Governance costs are those involving the public accountability of the charity (including audit costs.) Support and governance costs have been allocated according to staff numbers and resource plans.

i) Operating leases

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

j) Tangible fixed assets

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

Leasehold improvements Over 10 yrs or the life of the lease if less than 10 yrs Motor vehicles 25% straight line Fixtures and fittings 33.3% straight line Computer and office equipment 33.3% straight line Intangible Assets 33.3% straight line

k) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

l) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

p) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

q) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

r) Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme operated by NEST. Contributions are to the Statement of Financial Activities when they are payable to the scheme.
