## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31st December 2020** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. 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** 

## **Significant activities** 

The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of promoting any charitable purpose or purposes for the benefit of the inhabitants of Telford and the surrounding districts of the County of Shropshire. 

## **Public benefit** 

The main activity is undertaken to further our charitable objective for the public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Having made significant improvements to the performance of the charity in 2019, the financial plan for 2020 was to return a surplus that could then start to be re-invested in the asset that is Meeting Point House. 

During the first two months of trading the income generated from Meeting Room hire was 4% higher than that of 2019 and at the end of February 2020 the trust had generated a surplus of £3,185. 

By 24th March 2020 due to the national lockdown because of Covid-19, all services delivered at Meeting Point House were suspended, 12 members of the team were Furloughed, and Licensees were given restricted access to offices. The result of which meant a dramatic reduction in income, whilst still having to cover fixed costs. This way of operating continued until July 2020, when some of the restrictions were lifted. 

With a second national lockdown in November 2020, in summary from March - December 2020, the services on offer by the trust restricted in some way. 

Meeting Point Trust was still making a valuable contribution to the community during this period of uncertainty as follows: 

- 352 activity packs and lunches were provided for children during the holiday periods. 

- Calm Café continued to run when permitted to do so under the restrictions. This is a facility running twice per week providing support to adults suffering with mental health problems. 

- MENCAP, St Johns, JTL College and Job Change, provided educational support for adults, delivery both mandatory and developmental training programmes. 

- Christmas lunches were provided for clients from Yellow Ribbon, Care Leavers Hub and Calm Café. This was a provision that was truly appreciated at a time of social isolation.- 

- Funding was secured through National Lottery - Tackling Inequalities Fund to deliver and Mindfulness based programme to young people to support with anxiety brought about by change and social isolation.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31st December 2020** 

In addition to the above, several developmental activities took place to improve the on-going performance of the charity:, 

- A computerised booking system was procured and is now embedded. This enables all meeting rooms to be booked electronically. 

- All outstanding debtors were contacted resulting in the value of debt at the end of 2020 reducing to just £12,254 compared to £57,961 of the previous year. 

- Funding was secured through Power to Change to provide professional support to undertake a full diagnostic assessment of the charity. The outcome of which will inform our business plan in 2021/2022. 

- Prime Resolution, a CIC specialising in mediation services took up residency in Meeting Point House. 

- Rebranding and refurbishment of the Cafe commenced. The Café, now known as the Hummingbird Café will source produce from local suppliers. The ethos of sourcing and supporting local will be a USP that will be further promoted. 

- The Chapel of Christ the King stopped functioning as a Chapel in December 2020, this space is now being developed as a Well-being hub and will host all related activities. 

On 11th November 2020, the first-floor extension of Meeting Point House, was legally acquired from Telford and Wrekin Council. Work has now commenced in fitting out this space. This work is being undertaken by the Lichfield Diocese who have taken on a long-term rental of the space. The space once completed will be the home of the Telford Minster. 

At the close of 2020 the net income of the Charity prior to gains and losses was £2,285. In addition to the work and activity as detailed above this was achieved by financial support received in grant income. A total of £24,835 was made up of grants awarded by the local authority. Additional Covid Recovery Grant applications were made to the National Lottery and Julia and Hans Rausing Trust who awarded the Charity £25,225 and £8,755 respectively for 2020. A further £65,000 was provided by the Job Retention Scheme, contributing the salary costs of those who were Furloughed. 

During the year monies were also expended on remedial repairs to the roof and the replacement of the intruder alarm. 

Whilst the year has proved to be an extremely challenging one, there are many opportunities for further development of the charity going forward. The overriding focus of the Meeting Point Trust will be to continue to focus upon improving financial sustainability, whilst continuing to develop the services and activities that we offer to our local community. This will be achieved through continued partnership development and a focus on realising the opportunities that exist for us.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MEETING POINT TRUST LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Meeting Point Trust Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2020. 

## **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 

3. 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 

4. 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)). 

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.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. 

## **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. 

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance 

## **Investment property** 

In the Trustees opinion, the Investment Properties carrying value does not differ materially from its fair value at the balance sheet date. No independent valuation has been obtained at the balance sheet date to confirm this. 

The Trustees recognise the requirement to obtain an independent valuation with sufficient regularity to confirm the Investment Properties carrying amount in the balance sheet does not differ materially from its fair value. 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. 

## **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. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
