## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
The VCFSE sector in Knowsley has over 500 grassroots groups and a further 300+ charities and social enterprises. The faith network in the borough plays a significant role in social action, with a network of community assets that are well used by communities.
A range of registered, specialist charity service providers operate locally (totalling 115), the majority relying on grant funding or commissioned by public sector partners. The majority have income levels under 250K. We have very few large, national charities with a local presence.
We have 23 socially trading organisations/enterprises, providing traded services. 46 community Interest Companies (CICs) are registered in the borough (very high ratio of CICs to registered charities - a ratio of 2.5:1 in comparison to national ratio of 8:1).
The vast majority of social action is delivered by unregistered, micro community-led organisations with an annual turnover of less than £5k - driven by the passion of volunteers. This part of the sector rely heavily on One Knowsley for support, guidance and to connect with peers and decision makers to strengthen their local offer.
Collectively, the sector prioritises:
- children’s welfare (53%)
- older people (32%)
- people with disabilities (35%)
The sector supports people primarily through encouraging:
- education and learning (47%)
- health (26%)
- wider community development (23%)
- specific services to those with a disability (23%)
- 20% also focussed on alleviating impact of poverty on people, children, and families
Formerly known as Knowsley CVS we continue to be the sole independent infrastructure support, development, and representative body for the VCFSE in the borough.
Our objectives are to assist voluntary sector with advancement of education, promoting health, relieving poverty and sickness. Our activities are focused on:
- enhancing quality of life within communities and neighbourhoods by supporting and developing voluntary action in Knowsley
- supporting and developing the work of voluntary and community organisations
- provision of information relevant to the work of the voluntary and community groups
- being a focal point and resource for voluntary and community groups

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
During the reporting period the UK Government placed the country into three lockdowns in response to the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. The demands placed on the organisation were unprecedented and resonate with the unprecedented demands encountered by sector colleagues and the public sector to support the most vulnerable within Knowsley communities.
One Knowsley responded to the Covid-19 crisis with a reduced workforce placing a full time and part-time member of staff on furlough and utilising reserves to fulfil charitable objectives to respond to the pandemic.
The trustees of the organisation supported a full pivot of organisational activity to directly focus on the coordination of the humanitarian crisis.
Demand for One Knowsley support was exponential and unprecedented.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
The organisation undertook significant work to lead, co-ordinate and practically support VCFSE organisations addressing complex and challenging considerations including but not limited to sector governance and the financial and social impact of various size and scale that Covid-19 created.
**Response** – supporting voluntary, community, faith, and social enterprise in Knowsley with practical resources, advice, information, and guidance to navigate and address the complexity of governance issues within and across the sector to respond to the Covid-19 crisis. Building sector capacity whilst identifying and addressing sector capacity issues. Ultimately the mobilisation and interventions to respond to the Covid-19 crisis had a positive impact on the reduction in the scale and ask from individuals within communities on public services.
**Re-design** – supporting organisations to re-design community and support services, sustaining existing support for Knowsley communities and mobilising support services specific to the Covid-19 crisis. Identifying, enabling, and supporting collaborations and partnerships, reducing duplication in efforts, and unlocking capacity within the Sector including keeping organisations active, existing beneficiaries supported and experienced volunteers mobilised. This work has also enabled organisations to expand their service offer to new beneficiaries.
**Resilience** - As the leadership support and representation body in Knowsley, the organisational priorities were to remain active and responsive to our sector organisations’ challenges and the diversity of organisations and sector voice; to ensure Knowsley organisations continue to receive the practical sector specific support they require and representation, to meet needs of the communities they support.
Alongside the rapid implementation of the One Knowsley Business Continuity Plan, adherence to governance requirements and our resilience strategy, as a charity we continued to operate within the crisis. One Knowsley immediately, at the point of lockdown, established a Hub and Spoke model to mobilise VCFSE in Knowsley, co-ordinating activity, addressing capacity shortfalls and enabling VCFSE response to Covid-19. This model operated throughout the Covid-19 period at varying scale and focus, in response to the external environment.
The VCFSE response in Knowsley to the COVID-19 emergency had strength, depth, speed and agility, to identify and respond to the emergency support communities required. However, this had a significant impact on available capacity and resource as many VCFSE organisations increased frontline services such as providing emergency food, welfare support, advice, advocacy, and support with mental health.
One Knowsley have been key in supporting this frontline response with a plethora of activities, including, but not limited to:
- Funding – practical support and mentoring for the sector, lobbying funders, supporting the establishment of LCR Cares
- Enabling the volunteer response and emergency response
- Communications to and with the sector
- Data and insight gathering
- Providing leadership and strategic input
- Sector specific advice and guidance

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
A VCFSE response forum was established within one week of the lockdown, One Knowsley had not previously used digital platforms, and this was a steep learning curve for the organisation.
“One Knowsley have been key to bringing the sector together and providing guidance and advice”
One Knowsley put out an open call to all local organisations and as a result many self-identified Community Responders joined the first One Knowsley Zoom call. This approach consolidated the 13 active networks One Knowsley had in the borough, to develop a Covid-19 facing response.
With most groups on a steep digital learning curve, digital inclusion and building digital literacy was key, with a real commitment to learn and guide others in how best to do this on-line. This is one example of the real, honest, supportive partnership working and exchange that happened through the forums – to share insight, knowledge, and resources. The forums enabled VCFSE liaison and partnership working.
The forum also enabled the exchange of insight, knowledge, and resources within the Sector. Increasing capacity and resource available and was a vital tool in the Hub and spoke delivery model established by One Knowsley, to mobilise and co-ordinate VCFSE activity.
56 organisations worked with One Knowsley through this vehicle.
Alongside the one-to-one organisational support, the One Knowsley website was populated with VCFSE specific practical resources within the first week of the crisis, a further funding specific area of the site and safeguarding page where then added. This area of the site attracted 1,011 users within the first week with 547 users accessing Covid-19 support resources and 446 users accessing funding information.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
51% of sector organisations delivered a Covid-19 response through adapting to digital for service provision and developed additional support offers relating to:
- Social isolation 47%
- Food poverty 43%
- Mental health 37%
- Care and activity packs 20%
- Befriending schemes 3%
- Supplying PPE 3%
- Providing IT equipment to residents to ensure they could access on-line support 1%
As part of this individual contact support, One Knowsley also researched and drafted a number of guides for the VCFSE sector to better understand the risks of the pandemic and be best able to continue to support their local communities.
- x5 guidance notes on keeping volunteers and the community safe
- x3 guides on keeping premises safe
- x1 guide on funding
During the period support areas accessed by VCFSE from One Knowsley included;
- Groups attending forums facilitated by One Knowsley - 62%
- Groups supported with connecting/collaborating - 57%
- Groups offered support with funding - 50% (with an average amount of £5,641 awarded to each subsequently)
As the crisis unfolded in March 2020, One Knowsley recognised that access to resource, to enable capacity within the sector, would be key. Increased contact with One Knowsley identified that all local sector organisations were experiencing one or more of the following:
- an immediate loss of earnings and income: through cancellation of many community fundraising activities and events
- direct loss of income (space hire income; halt of chargeable activities such as fitness classes/ workshops/lunch clubs)
- continued outgoings related to office/community/retail space rentals
- postponement of charitable grant funded activities
- in the early weeks, costs related to immediate and direct purchase and provision of emergency support they were providing to residents: food, PPE, household provisions, access to baby basics
- the drawing down of organisational reserves in response to these sudden emergency cash-flow situations – the ‘rainy day’ had arrived as a tsunami
One Knowsley identified and secured funding to provide some small-scale emergency specialist bid-writing support in the form of a part-time experienced VCFSE sector bid writer.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
Organisations participating in One Knowsley’s weekly zoom calls were triaged to the bid-writer, who provided rapid guidance and support to a range of small and micro sector organisations. This crisis response, through bid writing, secured £69,538 within the first month for 16 organisations, supporting 10,523 vulnerable residents. The final amount secured was £150,772 for 21 VCFSE organisations.
During the crisis response, in addition to the above, One Knowsley was instrumental in securing £361,019 into front line delivery response of VCFSE in the borough.
In late April, One Knowsley put out a call for sector organisations to drill deeper and to sense check the key challenges we were identifying through our engagement to date – and the emergency responses we were coordinating.
At an early stage, One Knowsley identified the following sector experiences and challenges, through survey
and partnership engagement of various types:
- Substantial and intensive levels of collaborative and supportive working within and between the VCFSE sector groups and organisations of Knowsley, across a wide range of needs: mental health; food; wellbeing; education/learning; counselling; companionship; children’s activities; leisure activities; digital inclusion.
- Massive community needs were recognised and responded to by many organisations (health/social/ economic) which were already supporting highly vulnerable beneficiaries in the borough, one of the 3 most excluded in England
- The rapid and continued engagement of existing and new volunteers locally has, since March, been central to the support offer of groups and organisations. Many local organisations are volunteer led and run or highly dependent on them, with only a single or small staff team.
- Despite substantial levels of local emergency responses from the off, many local organisations and groups articulated immediate concerns around uncertainty, in relation to access to core funding of suitable scale.
- Many organisations – even at the early stages of the pandemic - reported they were highly exposed in the shorter- term, as they held no reserves or only enough to cover three months’ core costs – this was particularly the case for small/medium sized organisations, most at risk due to them losing income while holding fewer reserves.
## VCFSE organisations told us:
Nearly 80% of organisations had adapted their service to meet the current needs of their user group or community as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
15% of organisations were not delivering their service at the time they responded to the survey.
“Our staff and volunteers have been fantastic through this period. The charitable sector is known for its solution focused approach, and this has been evident through the period”
Just over 40% of groups had experienced a financial loss as a result of the Covid -19 crisis.
Reasons for financial loss included:
- Cessation of donations, user subscriptions and membership fees
- Loss of trading via shops and community cafes
- Loss of income generation via community business activities such as recycling and gardening
- • Disruption to hall/room hire & related income for community centres/bases

“We have lost the trading Income” “Previously we received regular donations” “We can’t trade directly, nor deliver our workshops – so no income – and we still have to pay bills and rent.”
Over 88% of respondents believed that their beneficiaries were becoming more vulnerable due to the following issues:
- mental health issues and emotional wellbeing – 59%
- general health & wellbeing issues – 47%
- money or debt issues – 18%
- long term health conditions – 21%
- isolation & loneliness – 68%
- access to fresh food and shopping 26%
When asked what their current organisational support needs were, respondents told us:
- 40% told us they needed funding to cover gaps in income due to closure or fall in activities/income
- 12% told us they required funding to cover the COVID emergency response they were delivering in the community currently
- 9% wanted support in developing relationships in the sector to deliver new forms of community support
- 3% wanted support to deliver organisation change
- Other support needs (12%) included: an on-line IT infrastructure to provide virtual education support for home-schooling; immediate resilience funding to survive; and collaborative working with other organisations to meet the challenge of Covid-19 with regard to food poverty and related issues.
When asked what type of support organisations/ groups needed moving forward:
- 61% told us they needed funding advice/support to cover COVID-19 response activities
- 9% wanted support with developing new partnerships to respond to changing environment
- 9% identified need for support in recovery & resilience process - reshaping their plans based on the new environment since start of COVID-19
- 12% wanted support with social impact reporting to stakeholders
“We need a continued voice at the table to support a new way of doing things to create resilience and a better more just society post covid”
“The sector needs to be strong, independent and have the ability to be flexible to meet needs/demand”
“Our main concern as an organisation is the potential longer-term impact on our service delivery and on our financial resilience”
‘Society can't rely on the VCFSE to solve the many issues that have been exposed without resource and monetary support. Also, we are experts in this field - ask us for the answers - don't reinvent the wheel!’

## **Knowsley Kitchen**
The Knowsley Kitchen model was quickly developed and launched through One Knowsley Covid-19 response forums with local community leaders. Concerns over the local food offer (including duplication and sustainability of the local offer) was core to developing the approach. Knowsley Kitchen was established in March-April 2020. With huge levels of poverty & poor well-being locally, access to fresh food, especially fruit and veg, is an issue for many Knowsley residents even in ‘normal’ times.
Through a hub and spoke model co-ordinated by One Knowsley, fresh produce is bought wholesale from local producers, the fresh food/pantry boxes are assembled & then delivered to satellite community centres for collection by a team of volunteers who deliver to these households. This approach has provided families with a reliable weekly source of healthy fruit and veg, developed healthy cookery skills and a shared family activity.
One Knowsley built upon the appetite identified in the One Knowsley weekly response forums to build a sustainable food network and respond to communities during Covid-19 and beyond.
Families are identified through existing links with a growing network of 26 community partners to ensure the programme reaches the most vulnerable and “below the radar” families in our communities.
The model is based on trust, support and building a network of VCFSE organisations that can support individuals who have multiple and complex social needs. Dignity and a “hand up” not a “hand out” are core to this enterprise model that aims to become a sustainable enterprise that is not grant reliant. Knowsley Kitchen has already created a surplus that has been re-invested in Knowsley Kitchen from the Pay it Forward model.
Knowsley Kitchen has delivered the following to vulnerable and shielding households across Knowsley from March to end of November 2020
- fresh food boxes: 2194
- Home baked pies: 1200
- Friday Feasts: 370
- slow cookers: 75
- Pantry Boxes: 50
- Kids healthy packed lunches: 2210
- recipe cards: 370
Knowsley Kitchen is now a member of the Food Power Alliance. Through One Knowsley, Knowsley Kitchen is playing a key leadership role in the city region to re-frame the narrative and local offer around food insecurity including a VS6 regional discussion with existing community providers of food on an ongoing basis.

## **Sport, Nutrition and Active Play (SNAP)**
One Knowsley led a collaborative VCFSE led programme of Sport, Nutrition and Active Play (SNAP) across the borough of Knowsley throughout the six-week school holiday period in 2020.
The programme was based on four pillars of:
Pillar 1 and 2 - Home/venue-based provision – supplemented by a food offer as part of the activity. Pillar 3 - Online provision with a plethora of resources made available and promoted through Knowsley News Pillar 4 – Cross cutting Direct Food Provision theme – this was an important element of the programme. Offering meals that could be taken home at the end of an activity or delivered to the family’s homes. this was not an extension of emergency food support (Foodbank) and was planned to support those most vulnerable families.
One Knowsley secured a total programme value of £221,860 with 33 VCFSE partners through a Hub and spoke model.
One Kn o wsley provided leadership across the cross-sector partnership in relation to:

- Facilitated access to a packed lunch food offer for all participants through Knowsley Kitchen – (ensuring safety, supply, nutritional value for all)
- Fundraising support – identification and support to VCFSE to maximise their local offer in terms of access to funding sources
A wide range of activities took place during the reporting period to represent, lobby and support the VCFSE within the borough of Knowsley, through the extensive VCFSE partnerships and public and private sector partnerships of the organisation, to support local resilience and represent the sectors interests in recovery planning from the pandemic.
Throughout the reporting period the organisation provided extensive support, encouraging, supporting, and developing VCFSE with tools, information, and practical expertise, so they can be the best they can be in their own organisational response to the Covid-19 crisis including:
- Intensive capacity building to re-design services, including targeted fundraising and bid-writing support

At the point of reporting, the Covid-19 pandemic continues to impact on daily life within society and influence the focus of Voluntary Sector responses and the work of One Knowsley.
We continue to operate, moving into recovery through the following activity strands: **Response** – supporting VCFSE with practical resources, advice, information, and guidance to continue to respond and build resilience to recover from the Covid-19 crisis.
**Re-design** – support to organisations to sustain the re-design of services, sustaining existing support and those specific to Covid-19 crisis. We are identifying, enabling and supporting collaborations and partnerships to reduce duplication in efforts and unlock capacity within Sector.
**Recovery** – two-way dialogue with charitable funders, investors and strategic partners to facilitate innovation, new models of delivery and new collaborations.
**Resilience** - through direct work with sector and leadership within Knowsley and regional bodies, we will continue to ensure that the Knowsley sector is part of local, regional and national dialogue around support needs.
Informing the recovery blueprint for One Knowsley is the immediate support VCFSE have identified for recovery:
- A sector thinking about the longer-term future, and most priortising the need for planning and development support, to better operate in post C-19 environment (25.9%)
- Needing to enhance ability to report social impact (14.8%)
- Support with necessary organisational changes (11.1%)
However, concerns expressed by VCFSE for residents and community, relate to worsening conditions for their beneficiaries:
- 67.9% more people struggling with isolation and loneliness
- 57.1% more people struggling with emotional and mental health
- 53.6% more people struggling with health and well-being
And these are especially prevalent amongst children and young people, older people, women, and people with a disability.
The organisation has, at the point of reporting, submitted a full business case for the asset transfer of Court Hey Park CourtYard to KMBC, with a clear vision to mobilise support and growth of the VCFSE in the borough through a dedicated community hub. The organisation has been successful in securing investment for the business case.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
There is no upper limit on the number of trustees but there should be a minimum of three. At each Annual General Meeting, 1/3 of the trustees retire based on those who have served the longest in office. These trustees are eligible for re-election. All new trustees are vetted through a robust values-based recruitment process.
## **Introduction and training of new trustees**
New trustees receive an induction which includes a full day briefing on strategy and operations from the board and senior management team. They are fully briefed on their legal responsibilities under charity and company law, the content of the Articles of Association, the committee and decision-making process, the business plan and recent financial performance. They then shadow a board meeting, which is followed with a one to one briefing and information meeting with the Chair. All trustees are expected to attend trustee training events and, where possible, organisational training events and away days.
None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The Trustees' r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.

**ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ONE KNOWSLEY**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of One Knowsley (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **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 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.

**ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
One Knowsley is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Griffiths Road, Huyton, Merseyside, L36 6NA.
## **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, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
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 financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
## **1.2 Going concern**
The trustees consider that it is appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis as the charity will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of the Coronavirus which is prevalent at the time of approval of these accounts and are confident that they have adequate resources to continue to operate having taken account of current and future income streams and expenditure commitments.
## **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 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 or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Income received under a service level agreement is recognised in the period to which the agreement relates.

**ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **1.5 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 that 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.
## **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.
Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.
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
3 years 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:
Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Computers 25% on cost
The gain or loss 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 the statement of financial activities .
## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

**ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
**(Continued)**
## **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.
- 22 -
**ONE KNOWSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**_
## **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.
