## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Trustees' Report**
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Objectives and activities**
## _**Objects and aims**_
The principal objectives of the charity are:
1. To promote the education of persons residing in the parish of Arnside and surrounding areas.
2. The land may be used as a village hall for use by the inhabitants of the area of benefit without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for:
a. meetings, lectures and classes;
b. other forms of recreation and leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants.
## _**Public benefit**_
The institute awarded educational grants amounting to £1,881 (2023 - £1,982) in the year.
Other activities have continued as in previous years, with the hire of the Institute for activities such as Badminton & Table Tennis, Computer Club, embroidery classes, Scrabble, Pilates, dance classes, Archive Group as well as Snooker facilities and the Bridge Club.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
## _**Grant making policies**_
The scheme has allowed the charity to make educational grants, which are made to college and university students from the village and to community associations which could show an educational element in their projects. Details of how to apply for grants may be obtained from the Office Manager.
A bequest of £40,000 was left by Dr Margaret Jackson for disadvantaged children of Arnside, to be administered by the Trustees. At present £32,582 is invested with Nucleus Financial Services Ltd and funds are drawn from this investment as required to make grants. Enquiries about grants may be made through the Office Manager or through Arnside National C.E. School.
## _**Use of volunteers**_
The Trustees are grateful for the efforts of volunteers who were involved in service provision and fundraising.
## **Achievements and performance**
The Institute provided facilities for the activities listed above to take place. Numbers attending continues to be strong. The Institute also achieved Hallmark 2 during the year (run byACTion in Cumbria).
## **Financial review**
The trustees consider the financial position of the Institute to be very healthy thanks to the bequest by Joyce Nicholson.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## _**Policy on reserves**_
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which approximates to about six months unrestricted expenditure. This does not include the Margaret Jackson bequest which the trustees have set aside in accordance with the benefactor's wishes. Free reserves as at the end of the year end were £8,417 (2023 - £16,991) which equates to around two months unrestricted expenditure. The charity will be aiming to increase free reserves now that significant works have been completed.
## _**Investment policy and objectives**_
Joyce Nicholson left the Institute an investment portfolio which is managed by Nucleus Financial Services Ltd under the guidance of an Independent Financial Advisor, RDBIFS Ltd. The investments are in a mixture of Equities, Property and Fixed Interest Funds. The value of the investments rose in the year.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _**Nature of governing document**_
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The Arnside Educational Institute was founded in 1873, to promote social activities and educational and cultural interests. The original trust deed (which envisaged a school) was out of date and the Trustees agreed a new Constitution or 'Scheme' with the Charity Commissioners dated 13 October 2003.
## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_
The Institute is managed by the Officers and the Committee of Trustees. Various sub-committees also exist to manage different aspects of the Institute's activities, and all report to the Committee of Trustees.
The Committee of Trustees consists of six appointed committee members who represent user organisations and who are elected at a meeting of representatives prior to the AGM and six committee members who are elected at the AGM. From these twelve members the four officers are elected at the AGM. All committee members are elected for a term of one year. Up to two additional committee members may be co-opted during the year at a special meeting.
Most members join to take part in one or more of the activities at the Institute. There are over 200 members and many other regular users of the Institute facilities.
The Trustees meet eight times a year, or thereabouts, to receive reports of progress and make plans for the future. The day to day work is carried out by the sub-committees, namely Finance and House & Gardens committees.
The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to keep these risks acceptably small.
## **Financial instruments**
## _**Objectives and policies**_
The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Page 3
## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Trustees' Report (continued)**
## _**Cash flow risk**_
The charity’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swap contracts to hedge these exposures.
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
## _**Credit risk**_
The charity’s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. The charity’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk, with exposure spread over a large number of counterparties and customers.
## _**Liquidity risk**_
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance.
Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.
The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 1 April 2025 and signed on its behalf by:

## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements 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 of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, 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 accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Arnside Educational Institute**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Arnside Educational Institute for the year ended 31 December 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of Arnside Educational Institute 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 Arnside Educational Institute's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 Arnside Educational Institute 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 accounting 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.

The financial statements on pages 7 to 21 were approved by the trustees, and authorised for issue on 1 April 2025 and signed on their behalf by:
......................................... Johnathan Race Trustee
The notes on pages 10 to 21 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9
## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **Basis of preparation**
Arnside Educational Institute meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Income and endowments**
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## _**Donations and legacies**_
Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.
## _**Grants receivable**_
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
## _**Investment income**_
Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## _**Raising funds**_
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Page 10
## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## _**Charitable activities**_
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.
## _**Grant provisions**_
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £0.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Research and development**
Research and development expenditure is written off as incurred.
## **Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments, other than programme related investments, are included at market value at the balance sheet date. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their market value at the start of the year, or their subsequent cost, and are charged or credited to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period of disposal.
Unrealised gains and losses represent the movement in market values during the year and are credited or charged to the Statement of Financial Activities based on the market value at the year end.
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 11
## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Trade creditors**
are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
## **Financial instruments**
## _**Classification**_
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Page 12
## **Arnside Educational Institute**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 (continued)**
## _**Recognition and measurement**_
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
## _**Investments**_
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any premium is ignored.
## _**Fair value measurement**_
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices are unavailable, the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
