K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association , the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016) .
Objectives and activities for the public benefit
The Charity was incorporated as a private company number 0 2108184, limited by guarantee, on 9 March 1987 and is ruled by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, although the Charity has existed since 1975.
Its principal object is to provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation and other leisure time occupations of children and young persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress by the provision of breaks or outings with the object of educating and assisting them to develop their physical, mental and spiritual well being in a caring, but structured and disciplined environment.
The charity depends significantly on the service of volunteers and on donations for its day to day running.
The major areas of activity each year are, broadly, the Residential Project, KIND SEED Centre, the Christmas Appeal and the provision of year round assistance to children and their families.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
2021 has been another year of uncertainty and change. Again, our team has risen to the demands and adjusted our services to carry on supporting and meeting the needs of our children and families.
The Centre
We didn’t have children visit the Centre until Easter and then we were fully booked until the Christmas break. The team again followed all Covid advice to keep our children, staff and families as safe as possible. Thanks again to Don, Paul Dixon and Martin Swift our beekeeper for ensuring that our garden and pond areas looked wonderful.
Programmes
We ran our Easter Club and then were fortunate enough to run all of our Out of School programme. We were also able to run our education schools programme for the majority of the year after Easter. The staff team, led by Stephen and including Trish, Kayleigh, Dave, Don, Indi, Leanne, Roisin, Amie and Erin have worked extremely hard in very difficult circumstances to ensure that our children and families have had the best services from the Charity to meet their needs. Please keep updated with everything on our website and Facebook – these are constantly updated.
Crisis Food Programme
We again undertook our Crisis Food Programme from February to March in order to support children and families who were really struggling during the lockdown. As in 2020, we also included education packs for the children. We again provided support for between 150-200 families each week, providing them with wonderful food packs which included fresh fruit and veg, a meat pack, free range eggs, bread, cheese and over 50 other items. The project again reached out to over 9,000 disadvantaged children and adults from across our Merseyside community. We worked through a variety of other organisations to ensure that we reached those families most in need.

K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Christmas Appeal
This year we packed and distributed 1500 family sized Christmas food hampers and over 400 toy and clothing packs. Working through a variety of organisations and individuals who referred families in need, we were able to make Christmas a very special and happy time for thousands of children and adults from across our community.
Practical Help
2021 has seen an increased demand for this form of support and again as a charity we have risen to that demand.
The Welsh Church
Plans are still progressing for the rescue and renovation of the derelict Welsh Church in Liverpool 8. We are still working closely with Merseyside Buildings Preservation Trust and Heritage Lottery. However, we are experiencing difficulties with Liverpool City Council, who have been very hard to work with and do not share our vision or optimism for the building. The negativity and lack of response has been very disheartening.
Conclusion
The Board and myself have gone through some very difficult times this year and we can only imagine what some of the families that KIND supports have been going through. However, our staff team need to be applauded and their efforts recognised by all in our city for their continuing commitment, dedication and hard work in supporting children and families in need from within our community. They are a real credit and we are proud to be a part of the same team.
Financial review
The charity's income for the year amounted to £490,756 (2020: £776,913). Total expenditure amounted to £763,935 (2020: £438,008). This has resulted in a deficit of £273,179 for the year (2020: surplus of £338,905).
Unrestricted funds (including designated funds) of the charity totalled £890,351 at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: £876,533). Restricted funds of the charity totalled £nil at 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: £286,997).
Although the balance sheet shows that there were total unrestricted funds (excluding designated funds) of £505,351 at 31 December 2021, £195,691 of this represents fixed assets, none of which is available to the trustees to defray ongoing running costs. This leaves £309,660 free spendable reserves. The Designated Fund of £385,000 represents funds set aside out of unrestricted funds for spending on building maintenance, school activities, salaries and future projects.
KIND is a traditional charity which relies solely on the generosity of its friends and supporters in order to provide its much needed services. In order to ensure that these services would continue in a downturn in donations the Charity is aiming to have a minimum of six months' of unrestricted running costs in free reserves. The charity receives no central or local government funding and is still one of the few remaining charities that does not charge for its services and programmes.
Risk management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage exposure to those risks.
For a small charity risk management is an essential part of planning. KIND is very fortunate because it has a solicitor and numerous Trustees on its board who are used to dealing with large companies. Financially the charity is extremely well regulated and the monthly reconciliation of accounts ensures that any financial difficulties are brought to the attention of the Board very quickly. KIND staff have regular training to ensure that they are aware of the latest safeguarding issues and other health and safety issues that may impinge upon our work. As a small charity I feel that we are doing our best to ensure that any risk is kept to a minimum.

K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee . The liability in respect of the guarantee as set out in the memorandum, is limited to £1 per member of the company .
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Dr C P Arthur
C C Davies
P Scanlon
M Wafer
S Green
Appointment of trustees
Trustee recruitment remains a priority for the Board, who are keen to recruit new trustees with skills and qualities that will enhance the performance of the charity. The Board are also intending that there is a more inclusive trustee base. Like all smaller charities, KIND is constantly striving to strengthen its Trustee board. We have a very good core of trustees who have been with the organisation for a long time. But we are constantly looking to recruit new trustees to help strengthen the board.
The Charity is registered by the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, registration number 518985. The number of trustees of the Board shall not be less than 5 and not more than 12. The Board may from time to time appoint any member of the Association as a trustee to fill a casual vacancy or by way of addition to the Board. Any member so appointed shall retain this office only until the next Annual General Meeting, but he shall then be eligible for re-election. He shall not be taken into account in determining the members of the Board who are to retire by rotation at such meetings. The trustees met on a regular basis throughout the year.
Trustee induction and training
All potential trustees are offered the opportunity to have a face-to-face discussion with both Stephen our CEO and Peter our Chair of Trustees before they make the final decision to join or not. Once they have agreed to become Trustees there is an induction process and all Trustees will be required to have a DBS certificate.
Organisation
Day-to-day decision-making is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer , Stephen Yip . Decisions regarding the long term strategy of the charity are approved by the board of trustees.
The remuneration arrangements for all staff are reviewed annually by t he Trustees. The Trustees have historically looked at wages paid within our sector and have decided that our wage scales , because of the nature of our work , are both competitive and fair. They have always increased wages in line with inflation and as a charity we feel that we offer salaries that are commensurate with duties and responsibilities.
Asset cover for funds
Notes 3 to 11 set out income and expenditure attributable to the various funds and a description of the trusts. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity's obligations on a fund by fund basis.
Small company provisions
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The trustees, who are also the directors of K.I.N.D. for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF K.I.N.D.
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of K.I.N.D. (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity 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 the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) . In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the ICAEW , 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 that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

K.I.N.D. A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Company information
K.I.N.D. is a UK Registered Charity and a Company Limited by Guarantee. The registered office address can be found on the Legal and Administration Information page to the accounts.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts and as detailed in the Trustees’ report the Trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 on the charity and the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees continue to adopt the ‘going concern’ basis of accounting in preparing the accounts .
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by trustees for a particular purpose. The aim and use of the designated fund s are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable .

1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure reflects all amounts paid and accrued during the year. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, support costs are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
Raising funds include the costs associated with printing the charity's annual calendar.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include staff salaries, premises and other costs and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities.
1.6 Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill
Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Website costs 20% straight line
1.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold land | Nil |
|---|---|
| Health & Wellbeing Centre | 2% straight line |
| K.I.N.D. SEED Centre & Outdoor classroom 2% straight line | |
| Computers | 25% straight line |
| Fixtures, fittings & equipment | 15% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | 25% reducing balance |
| Sports area | 10% straight line |
Any gain arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income for the year.

(Continued)
1.8 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any ).
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
1.10 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity 's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future p aymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity ’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.13 Taxation
The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions. The charity is not able to recover Value Added Tax. Expenditure is recorded in the accounts inclusive of VAT.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The Children's breaks and other project fund which includes an 11 week out of school programme and environmental and social educational programmes represents monies set aside that if in the event of a decrease in funding, the charity would still be able to offer these projects for the next year. Funds have been transferred from general unrestricted reserves so that the amount set aside should be enough to cover the next years worth of projects..
K.I.N.D. was successful with their application to the Heritage Lottery, to renovate the 157 year-old former Welsh Presbyterian Church on Princes Road that is now completely derelict, into a vibrant, sustainable and environmentally friendly centre for the whole community. Up until 2021, any available funds had been set aside for this project. As mentioned in the Trustees' report and note 8, this project has run into some difficulties and the designated funds have been released back to unrestricted funds for future projects.
