**MEETING POINT TRUST LIMITED** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

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 2022. 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** 

Total gross income shows encouraging signs of growth - and even surpasses pre-covid trading, however, this increase is accounted for by rental income from Telford Minster.  Total expenditure is in-line with pre-covid trading. 

The Hummingbird café, whilst running at high costs due to our commitment to support the local community with lower selling prices shows signs of moving forward which is extremely encouraging. The café's new look and rebranding as 'The Hummingbird Café' has been well received. The aspiration to engage more with local suppliers has been challenging as those (all) suppliers look to recover their costs from COVID shutdowns and increased prices across the board. 

Meeting room hire has been strong and the building continues to attract new users, in particular 2 large events in September and October are of note. The October event has been secured from a local competitor venue and was the largest show of its kind for 100 years with over 850 exhibits. The event organisers booked the whole of Meeting Point House. This is a clear example of the potential commerciality of the building. 

Following investment in 2021 The Octagon Well-being programme was developed with the addition of regular weekly Yoga classes, crafting, mindfulness, and music for dementia. 

Meeting Point House continues its work with MIND and hosts Calm Café twice weekly. It is used as a hub to support adults suffering from social isolation, or any mental health issues, diagnosed or otherwise. Throughout August two funded holiday programmes took place, one catering for 6 - 9-year-olds accompanied by parents and carers, the other 10 -13-year-olds. The activities on offer included chocolate making, science experiments, Bhangra dancing, Box fit, paper crafting, mindful crafting, self-care and many more. A total of 147 attendances were recorded. 

Throughout 2022 further investment continued in our asset with new fire doors, smoke detectors and upgrades to our CCTV. Lighting throughout the building was upgraded to LED with the aid of grant funding. Further improvements have also been made to our meeting rooms with new flooring and redecoration and new flooring throughout most of the first floor corridors. 

Grant funding this year was down. In a changing and challenging environment more emphasis has been required on being self sufficient and concentrating on core activities. Grant income, moving forward, needs to provide services/activities which are both suitable and required for the local community without incurring costs for the Trust. 

The team has not lost sight of the overriding ethos of the charity, and we have worked hard to continue to provide activities and services that support our community. We are flexible with our approach to doing so and have forged great relationship with local partners. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

## **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 2022. 

## **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** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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.

**MEETING POINT TRUST LIMITED** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. 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** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
