Objectives and activities

Isleworth Explorers Club is a purpose built youth centre which provides a range of activities for young people within the age range of 4 to 24 years. The club provides youth sessions for juniors (5-12} and seniors(12-16),and children with special needs and disabilities (5-14).We also run a childcare project for ages 4 to 11 incorporating a breakfast club, an after school club and a holiday play scheme. There is also a transition club for ages 14 to 24. Additionally, we have an out of club programme offering day trips to all groups.

The aim of the club is to promote the social wellbeing of members who are residents in or near the London Borough of Hounslow, and to encourage their physical, mental and moral development so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

The club also aims to provide activities to the young that promote a healthy lifestyle. The club has designed programmes to develop health and fitness in a safe environment.

Achievements and performance

The whole of the financial year was subject to Covid 19 restrictions, which makes it difficult to compare with previous periods. The club was opened for After School and Breakfast Clubs for 10 months and Summer Playscheme for 1 month.

Finances were buoyant with the main contributions from - Grants £68,958, Day Nursery £48,528, After School Club £32,426, Breakfast Club £9,521, Playscheme £12,234, and Furlough Payments £54,928.

During the period of closure the opportunity was taken to ensure that housekeeping work was up to date, repairs and renewals were carried out as necessary and the minibuses were serviced and kept road ready

The club enjoys membership of London Youth, the county association, and The National Association of Clubs for Young People.

Financial review

The club is reliant on donations and grants, the incomes from which were £68,958 (2020: £36,945). Incoming resources from activities for generating funds were £159,055 (2018: £182,034). For the year ended 31 August 2021, a surplus of £12,949 has been achieved (2020: deficit of £3,912). At the end of the financial year net current assets were £1151,242 (2020: £125,936).

Plans for future periods

The club is totally self funded and heavily reliant on grants and donations from charitable trusts and others. The trustees and the club leader will continue to play a leading role in the ongoing search for funds to enable the club to continue its vital work for the community. A professional fund-raiser is employed.

The Club Leader has kept on top of the maintenance work and statutory requirements at the club and has continued to ensure that the vehicles are fully ready for use : He has also produced a handbook to act as a guide for new members of staff and volunteers and as a point of reference for established staff.

Plans are being made to appoint a coordinator for the Mixed Ability and Transition Clubs

The club has opened most areas now and the Mixed Ability Club is expected to open soon and complete the picture. Numbers of members attending Junior and Senior Clubs are very promising.

We are facing rising costs and have taken robust measures to counter this by increasing our prices in selected areas. We have received 3 grants totalling £45000 so far this year with more in the pipeline.

Reserves Policy

The club has in place a reserves policy to meet unexpected demands on its finances and to provide for unforeseen opportunities. The level of reserves is reviewed and set by the management committee at the AGM, but is also monitored during the year at our quarterly meetings. The amount of reserves is based on history and forecasts of future income and expenditure. £35,000 was allocated as reserves for the financial year based on 2-3 months expected running costs. The reserves are unrestricted funds held in the CAF 60 Day Notice Account.

The trustees' annual report was approved on 1 June 2022 and signed on behalf of the board of trustees by:

Year ended 31 August 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Isleworth Explorers Club ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 August 2021

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Twickenham Road, Isleworth, Middlesex, TW7 7EU.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or

commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

Isleworth Explorers Club

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Leasehold property - Over period of lease Motor vehicles - 25% straight line Fixtures & equipment - 25% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Stocks

Stocks which consist mainly of snacks and soft drinks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
