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 31 July 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

Charitable objectives

It is the objective of S W Durham Training Limited to provide a high quality training service and promote a lifetime of learning culture to meet the ongoing needs of individuals and the business community, to maximise potential, to secure jobs and create wealth for the region.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

The charitable company continues to develop and deliver full time training for young people and adults in the engineering sector, apprentice frameworks and bespoke/commercial training programmes to local and regional organisations, providing lifelong learning opportunities within manufacturing, engineering and commercial sectors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Personnel

The average number of employees throughout the period 2019/20 was 19 (2018/19: 21).

Reserves policy

The Council of Management consider the charitable company requires reserves to:

In order to be prepared for these eventualities target reserves equating to 6 months of cash expenditure, excluding Group recharges, are deemed appropriate; £500k. The Reserves Policy will be reviewed and approved annually by the Council.

The Council has reviewed the level of free reserves held, which currently stand at £813,520 (2019: £758,413), and considers this is adequate to ensure the continued operation of the charitable company.

Monthly management accounts are prepared to enable the Council to monitor the level of reserves on a timely basis.

FINANCIAL REVIEW Going concern

It is considered appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements, on the basis that the company has the ability to continue to operate for a significantly longer period than the statutory twelve months from the date of approval.

During 2020 the world was hit by a global pandemic and at the time of preparing these financial statements, the world remains in the grips of the global pandemic. As a result, there is much about the future that is uncertain. There is general agreement that the country will suffer a recession the likes of which has not been seen since the Second World War. It is also generally accepted that in periods of financial pressure the training budget is one of the first things to be cut by businesses. Consequently, it is anticipated that apprenticeship recruitment will be severely impacted by the recession.

The 19/20 financial statements see the company move into a loss position, where previously a surplus was projected although the final position is improved from the forecast prepared during the most significant period of lockdown. Government schemes have been accessed where possible for the year 19/20, but the impact of the global pandemic has been unprecedented and has affected some in year income streams significantly, it remains to be seen what the ongoing impact will be. The 19/20 year was manageable but the greater impact is expected to be on the 20/21 year.

A cautious approach has been taken to the preparation of the 20/21 financial plan showing reduction in income streams that will certainly be affected by the impact of Covid-19, particularly apprenticeship income and commercial income. 2020/21 apprenticeship income assumptions are based on the following factor; The value of 'carry in' funding (funding for apprentices already in learning) for the company is calculated at £500k. Also, a detailed assessment has been made of the current apprentices to calculate the risk of their being made redundant. A cautious approach has been taken to predicting the number of new apprenticeship enrolments in 2020/21, taking into account the current employer base that the College and SWDT work with. There has been careful planning of staffing and non pay budget, taking account of the additional costs likely to be incurred by the measure required to fulfil the government requirements on social distancing and getting learners back into the education. The 20/21 plan shows SWDT to be in a deficit position, work will continue to reduce the deficit position and bring the organisation back to a surplus position for the year 21/22. The quarter 2 reforecast prepared in Jan-21 shows a small reduction in income, with an increase in apprenticeship income countered by a reduction in commercial income. Apprentices remain on target and a number of additional sign ups have been made in year between lock down periods. SWDT remain in a deficit position but this has improved from budget (-£66k) to quarter 2 (-£27k).

Detailed cash flow forecasts have been prepared which show that SWDT is expected to have a positive cash position for at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements

Financial Year

Early in 2020 the world was hit by a global pandemic which escalated to the point that was unimagined. At the time of preparing the financial statements, the threat of Covid-19 remained. Whilst the focus of S W Durham Training remains the same, the impact of Covid-19 led the company to reassess some of the income assumptions in year. The impact of Covid_19 is reflected in the financial performance for the charitable company over the last year. The company finished the year in a deficit position; this was predominantly due to a shortfall in Apprenticeship and commercial income as a result of Covid-19. Staffing came in higher than forecast.

The Council of Management are proposing for approval at the annual general meeting that the fee structure for the training period commencing 1 August 2020 be as follows:

(a) that a company sending a learner to the centre and having that learner with S W Durham Training Limited will, providing the learner is eligible for full funding, not be charged whilst full funding is still available for that learner and they are aged 16-18 at the start of their framework. If the learner is not eligible for full funding, the sponsoring company will pay the difference between full funding and that received;

(b) that companies will pay fees for their learner to attend work based learning and further education subsequent to completion of apprenticeships framework.

COUNCIL OF MANAGEMENT

No fees have been paid to any Member of the Council of Management nor does any such member have any beneficial interest in, or a contract with, the charitable company.

CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

On behalf of the Council of Management, may I take this opportunity to thank all members of staff of S W Durham Training Limited for their continued support and dedication to the success of the charitable company. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all our Member Companies for their high level of support during the year. This has been a challenging year for S W Durham Training with the impact of COVID-19; despite the challenges we have seen, maintenance of study programme learners. The organisation and the country face an uncertain future. But study programme numbers continue to increase, apprenticeship numbers continue to grow and the introduction of the new HNC

Changes to the current curriculum have proved beneficial as study programme numbers are in line with current funding values and in some areas are slightly above target. HE numbers are encouraging and are in above target this year with new companies requesting to take up this provision with SWDT. Apprenticeship numbers are very encouraging and are bucking the current trend seen across other parts of the country. New and existing employers are increasing their investment in training and have selected SWDT as their provider of choice. Work carried out during lockdown by the BD and SMT at SWDT has resulted in new and innovative ways of delivery via online platforms, this has allowed us to develop new route ways and establish working partnerships countrywide.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 July 2020

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, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

The charitable company has availed itself of Paragraph 3(3) of Schedule 4 of the Companies Act and adapted the Companies Act formats to reflect the special nature of the charitable company's activities.

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue to operate. Further detail on going concern is given on page 2 of the Trustees’ report.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£).

Going Concern

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the charitable company will continue to operate.

The charity had total funds of £3,129,794 as at 31 July 2020 (decrease of £195,076 from 31 July 2019). As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the budgets and cash flow forecasts have been updated to factor in the expected reduction in income and a worst case scenario has been used to confirm that the charity has sufficient cash for the organisation to continue for at least 12 months from the date these financial statements are signed. At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements

Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland':

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 costs 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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
