REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The main aim of the charity is to provide training and recreation for members of the Ipswich scout districts. The site is also available to all members of the scouting movement and other organisations and schools, including the disabled.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Covid 19 still affected the earlier part of last year, although Hallowtree income did increase by £22,077 to £40,750. We also received a grant of £24,657 compared with £28,400 in the previous year. Although there was no gang show in 2021, we did receive a donation of £15,582 from the Friends of Ipswich Gang Show. Our total expenses, including depreciation, were £56,141 compared with £96,525 in the previous year. The previous year included the new windows in the main building of £33,435.

The net result was therefore a surplus of £25,329 compared with a deficit of £48,559 in the previous year. Our bank balances have also increased by £46,544.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The principal funding is from hire charges for the use of the site and facilities.

Reserves policy

The trustees will maintain sufficient reserves on general fund to maintain the site for at least one year in case of difficulties.

Other funds are set up to provide finance for the continuing improvement to site buildings and amenities.

FUTURE PLANS

The trustees are always looking for new ways to improve the site and raise the necessary funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF IPSWICH SCOUT DISTRICT LIASON COMMITTEE

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Ipswich Scout District Liason Committee

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ipswich Scout District Liason Committee (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2021.

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 DECEMBER 2021

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.

Improvements to property - 5% on cost, 4% on cost and 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance

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.

Government grants

Grants are accounted for using the accrual model.

Grants relating to revenue are recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings in the same period as the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Where there are no related costs the grant is recognised in the period in which it becomes receivable.
