## **Strategic Objectives**
During the reporting period One Knowsley remained committed to strategic objectives to advance a resilient and thriving VCFSE sector in Knowsley able to adapt and respond to deepening and emergent economic and societal challenges. Our priorities focused on:
**Strengthening VCFSE resilience** : in the face of ongoing economic uncertainties and the Cost-of-Living Crisis we continued to expand access to funding, capacity-building programmes, and advancing a culture of collaboration and peer support across the sector.
**Deepening partnerships for greater impact** : building strong relationships with public sector bodies, the NHS, and key stakeholders like VS6 to amplify the voice and influence of the VCFSE sector in shaping local policies. Our focus remained on co-producing solutions that address the pressing needs of Knowsley’s communities, from tackling health inequalities to improving social cohesion.
**Championing equality and inclusion** : through our work with Phoenix Way and the Michael Causer Foundation we continued to strive to dismantle barriers to funding, representation, and opportunity to foster an inclusive and equitable VCFSE sector.
**Building sustainable VCFSE assets** : through continued development of The Courtyard, Court Hey Park we placed focus on expanding its role as a space for VCFSE innovation, Workforce development, training, and community engagement, ensuring it remains a cornerstone of our strategy to strengthen VCFSE presence and impact in Knowsley and the region.
**Securing long-term funding:** in recognition that sustainable financial resources are essential for the VCFSE sector's stability. Our efforts focused on diversifying funding streams and advocating for strategic investments.
We continued to frame our core work against the four functions of local infrastructure as defined by our national body NAVCA.
- Leadership, Advocacy, System Change
- Support and Development VCFSE
- Partnerships and Collaborations
- Volunteering
## **Leadership, Advocacy, and System Change**
A considerable element of the organisation’s work has focus on voice, influencing and representation on behalf of VCFSE in Knowsley at a local, regional, and national level. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has continued to elevate this aspect of our activity. Our role in Strategic Partnerships in Knowsley continued to amplify the voice of VCFSE and communities across key boards: Knowsley Better Together, Knowsley Healthier Together, Community Safety Partnership Executive, Domestic Abuse Partnership Board, Adult Safeguarding, Health and Wellbeing Board, Stronger Communities Steering Group. We established a VCFSE Leadership Group and Health and Social Care Leadership group to proactively inform the work of One Knowsley.
Through the ENIC (Enhanced National Insurance Campaign), One Knowsley stood as a powerful advocate for the VCFSE sector, ensuring that Knowsley’s voice resonated at every level, from Knowsley Council to national government. We made direct representations to key decision-makers including the Chancellor, Metro Mayor, MPs, and Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council, to highlight and advocate for the impact to local organisations and their beneficiaries. We convened the VCFSE Knowsley Leadership Roundtable with MP Ian

Byrne, creating a space where grassroots insights could further information and influence national representation.
During the reporting period, One Knowsley played a central role in advancing health equity and system integration across Cheshire and Merseyside through its active participation in the VCFSE Health and Care Transformation Programme. The organisation’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) served as the Liverpool City Region representative, providing strategic leadership and sector insight at a regional level. This programme, led by Voluntary Sector Northwest (VSNW), aimed to improve health outcomes by embedding VCFSE organisations into NHS delivery structures. Under the CEO’s leadership, One Knowsley ensured that the sector’s voice was not only heard but actively shaped the design and implementation of health initiatives. Key achievements included strengthening VCFSE representation within the Integrated Care System (ICS), positioning community organisations as core partners in NHS workstreams, and facilitating joined up working across nine local areas. The CEO’s role was instrumental in driving place-based collaboration and ensuring that community-led solutions were integrated into mainstream health pathways. The power of this approach being acknowledged by a prestigious HSJ award for CVS and Cancer Alliance Community Partnerships in Cheshire and Merseyside.
We continued to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the sector as a VS6 partner, leading engagement on the Combined Authority’s OPSI agenda and Race Equality Hub. Our global outlook was reflected in hosting the Global Social Economy Forum (GSEF) membership for VS6 and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority.
We led with pride, our CEO represented the Michael Causer Foundation at LCR Pride, addressing the muster of over 20,000, we were honoured to lead the march with Michael’s family and loved ones. Our CEO convened key partners and allies and with their support we delivered the inaugural Knowsley Pride at Court Hey Park, a landmark celebration of inclusion and community spirit.
Our leadership work was grounded in VCFSE evidence and insight, informing policy and partnership through the EHNIC campaign, Multi Agency Safeguarding Roundtable, Neurodiversity Voices, and regional campaigns including VS6 Child Poverty. We contributed to major regional and local strategies including the ICS VCFSE Health Transformation Plan, Local Economic Growth Plan, Healthier Weight programme, and the Serious Violence Summit.
This year, One Knowsley has joined and delivered a wide range of campaigns that directly support and amplify our strategic objectives:
**Volunteering** – We celebrated National Volunteering Week, promoted the Volunteering Hub through, and highlighted the benefits of volunteering across the borough. As a result, we recruited new volunteers, supported organisations to sign up, and promoted a wide variety of local volunteering opportunities.
**Social Prescribing Day** – We showcased the impact of our social prescribing service, sharing strong outcomes for patients and clear data on referrals. This campaign helped increase awareness of the value of communitybased health and wellbeing interventions and the invaluable role of VCFSE in Knowsley to deliver community led support.
**Small Charities Week** – Using insights from the State of the Sector report, we spotlighted the unique challenges and strengths of Knowsley’s small charities, ensuring their voices and contributions were recognised.

## **Report of the Trustees (including Directors’ Report) (continued) for the year ended 31st March 2025**
**Pride Month** – Through engagement with the sector, underpinned by the legacy of Michael Causer, we encouraged support and participation in the inaugural Knowsley Pride. This led to increased activity and delivery from Knowsley’s Voluntary, Community, Faith, and Social Enterprise sector during Pride month.
We actively supported and shared partner initiatives, including: Knowsley Council’s “Spotting the Signs of ‘Domestic Abuse’ campaign, the NHS ‘Super Bodies’ campaign, and VS6’s ‘Tackling Child Poverty’ campaign.
## **Support and Development to VCFSE**
The Courtyard at Court Hey Park continued to evolve as a vibrant hub of community life, VCFSE connection, innovation and transformation. We delivered 24 VCFSE capacity building sessions, 22 sessions taking place through The Courtyard supporting the development of 534 VCFSE workforce. Each session was co-produced with VCFSE based on a prior training needs analysis and acted as a catalyst for growth and transformation. One participant told us, “The bid-writing support helped us unlock funding we would not have gone for. But more than that, it gave us confidence to think bigger.” From start-ups to scale-ups, we provided the scaffolding for sustainable growth. These sessions provided vital skills, confidence, and collaboration opportunities. 43 VCFSE groups received specialist 1:1 financial and non-financial support to help them start up, scale up, and grow sustainably.
The Courtyard also welcomed the wider community through 16 community events with 5,199 Knowsley residents participating. These gatherings ranged from reflective moments to joyful celebrations, including the 17[th] Vigil for Michael Causer, which honoured resilience and remembrance, and the One Knowsley Winter Social, which brought together VCFSE organisations and partners in a spirit of unity and warmth. A major highlight during the reporting period was the Flagship Inaugural Knowsley Pride, a landmark event that celebrated inclusion and visibility. Through partnership the event marked a transformative moment for the borough. Beyond large-scale events, The Courtyard strengthened its role as a consistent and welcoming space for everyday connection. The local offer continued to expand through the café and Friends Room with regular weekly activities and engagement events.
We created opportunities for collaboration by facilitating 10 VCFSE networks, creating vibrant communities of practice where ideas sparked, partnerships formed, and innovation thrived. “One Knowsley helps us feel less alone. Whether it is safeguarding, fundraising, or building connections—they are there.” (Volunteer Coordinator)
## **Partnerships and Collaborations**
One Knowsley deepened its role as a strategic enabler by cultivating strategic partnerships that delivered real, measurable impact across the borough and beyond.
We co-developed a local NHS Transformation VCFSE Capacity Building Plan with ICB Knowsley, ensuring the sector’s voice was embedded in system-wide change. This was complemented by the establishment of the Knowsley Health and Social Care Leaders Group, a key part of the Cheshire and Merseyside VCFSE Alliance.
As a sub-regional partner for the national Phoenix Way network, we established Phoenix Way Cheshire and Merseyside connecting black led and racially minoritised groups across the sub-region, led by our CEO for and on behalf of the CVS network in the area. Through 13 dedicated events, we linked 172 network members with partners, funders, and academic institutions. In response to the LCR riots, we created four safe spaces, offering solidarity, healing, and support to affected communities.
Innovation was also at the forefront of our work. We secured and now lead a transformative partnership with the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, through the ReCITE programme, tackling health inequalities

through community led research and action in partnership with Knowsley Public Health Team and Knowsley ICB partners with focus on Lung Cancer and Childhood Nutrition.
We continued to lead a dynamic Provider Collaborative to deliver the Holiday Activity Food (HAF) programme across the borough. This initiative, designed to support children and young people eligible for free school meals during school holidays, One Knowsley facilitated enhanced coordination and resource sharing, capacity building and support ensuring smaller organisations could participate in the programme. Data driven planning and evaluation enabled continuous improvement and evidence of impact ensuring high quality delivery across a boroughwide footprint. This year we actively increased the SEND offer within the programme. Following a critical incident in Southport, we led a crisis support response to delivery across HAF provider settings, reviewing safeguarding and lockdown procedures. Through our established partnership with police, we facilitated attendance in provisions reinforcing safety. It was a testament to providers to deliver activity whilst ensuring children and families felt safe.
In the reporting period One Knowsley’s commitment to tackling health inequalities translated into meaningful, measurable impact across the borough. Our social prescribing service with Kirkby Primary Care Network received 1,110 referrals resulting in 3,502 patient contacts, each one representing a person seeking support for challenges such as mental health, isolation, and low self-esteem. Through a network of 329 VCFSE organisations, 982 social prescriptions where delivered, reducing GP attendance by 50% and saving the NHS an estimated £44K. This shift not only alleviated pressure on primary care but also demonstrated the power of community-led interventions. To further support patient wellbeing, 188 Health and Wellbeing Coaching sessions offered personalised guidance and empowerment.
We further tackled health inequalities, as part of the Cheshire and Merseyside Cancer Alliance (CMCA) Community Engagement Programme, leading the programme for Cheshire and Merseyside. We supported the mobilisation of local organisations to raise awareness of cancer symptoms, promote early detection, and reduce barriers to care. We continued to establish the Mental Health Care Navigator programme within the borough delivered in partnership with Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust as part of the Community Mental Health Transformation programme, which aims to redefine mental health support by integrating clinical expertise with community-based, person-centred care. This collaborative model, shaped through coproduction and lived experience, is creating local joined-up pathways with VCFSE settings.
## **Volunteering**
One Knowsley proudly secured the NAVCA Volunteer Centre Accreditation (VCQA), national recognition of excellence that validates the quality, consistency, and strategic impact of our volunteering infrastructure. The accreditation, awarded for three years, is provided following independent assessment of a portfolio of evidence provided against a set of criteria based around the Five Functions of Volunteer Centre’s:

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Report of the Trustees (including Directors’ Report) (continued) for the year ended 31st March 2025**
In achieving the VCQA, One Knowsley has demonstrated it delivers each of these functions to a high-quality standard, responsive to, and embedded within the needs of the local VCFSE, and is committed to working in partnership. Strengths identified through the assessment where across the Strategic development of volunteering. The accreditation process also provided the opportunity to gain invaluable insights into our strengths and areas for development.
We actively contributed to Knowsley Council Scrutiny Committee on Volunteering, providing evidence to inform the committee’s findings. This was important to ensure that the voice of the sector was heard in shaping local policy and practice and principles of volunteering developed locally were amplified.
We directly provided 143 VCFSE organisations with specialist support to strengthen capacity to recruit, retain, and develop volunteers. This tailored support helped embed volunteering as a core part of community delivery and identity within volunteer involving organisations. Our digital volunteering platform matured significantly this year. Owned and operated by One Knowsley, it now serves as a central hub for volunteering brokerage across the borough as part of a wider LCR partnership with CVS organisations supported by the Metro Mayor and Combined Authority. With 86 VCFSE organisations registered in the reporting period, the platform realised an increase in volunteer registrations, making it easier than ever for residents to connect with local opportunities. During national Volunteers Week we launched a borough-wide campaign to recognise volunteers, celebrating the time, energy, and commitment they dedicate to Knowsley.

## **Looking Ahead: Our Strategic Priorities**
In recognition of the challenging economic and societal operating environment, we will continue to prioritise activity that enables resilience in VCFSE settings and Knowsley communities. We have developed a Theory of Change to inform and enable our work and priorities for the next operating period.
## **Financial Review**
The financial performance for the year is detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities.
The Statement of Financial Activities shows net income for the year of £86,811 (2024: £401,190).
The total reserves at the year-end are £1,095,699 (2024: £1,008,888). Restricted reserves at the year-end are £314,436 (2024: £251,116), designated reserves are £729,290 (2024: £664,964) and unrestricted general reserves are £51,973 (2024: £92,808).
## **Going Concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for the twelve months from authorising these financial statements. The trustees assess the charity to be a going concern based on review of financial performance of the current financial year to date, the management accounts forecast for the remainder of the year, the rolling cash flow forecast, existing commitments from funders, and longer-term plans and forecasts for 2025-26 and beyond. As a result, the trustees are confident about the financial future of the charity and satisfied that these accounts are prepared on a going concern basis.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Report of the Trustees (including Directors’ Report) (continued) for the year ended 31st March 2025**
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees regularly review the reserves policy of the charity and consider that an amount of free reserves equivalent to 3 months of normal core operating expenses plus an amount to cover redundancies in the event of a cessation is the acceptable level. Whilst the trustees are aware that the current level of free reserves falls short of this target, the trustees monitor and review the reserves policy on a regular, ongoing, basis.
The free reserves of the organisation, excluding designated funds, are currently £51,973 (2024: £50,457).
At 31[st] March 2025 £314,436 (2024: £251,116) was held in restricted funds, relating to grant monies received against projects which were not fully completed at the end of the year.
Through regular Board Meetings and continued review of the financial standing of the organisation via monthly management accounts, the trustees will continue to ensure that full cost recovery takes place on each restricted fund. In addition, continued focus on generating unrestricted income from the Court Hey Venue via marketing, word of mouth and repeat business will help to improve the free reserves position going forward.
## **Investment policy**
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the organisation has the power to make any investment which the trustees consider appropriate. Funds are invested in cash-based deposits to produce reasonable income and/or capital appreciation over time.
## **Grants policy**
The organisation often receives grants from external funders which require distribution to other sector institutions or local community organisations as prescribed by terms within the grant. In such circumstances the organisation will collaborate with the funder and sector organisations in order to establish the most effective and impactful distribution spread of the grants which meets the purposes of the funding.
## **Related Parties and Co-operation with other organisations**
No Trustees receive remuneration for their work with the charity. Details of transactions with the Trustees and key management personnel are set out in Note 8 and details of transactions with Related Parties are set out in Note 19. All trustees are covered by the charity’s trustees and officers insurance.
## **Remuneration of key management personnel**
The remuneration of key management personnel is determined by the board of trustees. The trustees consider the seniority of the post, the expertise and experience of the post holder, the local market conditions and sector market conditions for remuneration, and benchmarking information from similar organisations in determining the remuneration of key management personnel.

## **Report of the Trustees (including Directors’ Report) (continued) for the year ended 31st March 2025**
## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

- 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;
- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
- charitable company 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 charitable company and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Trustees’ statement of disclosure of information to the auditors**

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Independent auditors’ report to the members of One Knowsley**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of One Knowsley (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion, the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Independent auditors’ report to the members of One Knowsley (continued)**
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
- the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the directors’ report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
**Independent auditors’ report to the members of One Knowsley (cont’d)**
## **Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
## **Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud**
Based on our discussions with the charity’s management and the Trustees, we identified that the following laws and regulations are significant to the entity:
- Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards and Charity Law.
- Those laws and regulations for which non-compliance may be fundamental to the operating aspects of the charity and therefore may have a material effect on the financial statements include compliance with charitable objectives, public benefit, fundraising regulations, safeguarding and health and safety legislation.
These matters were discussed amongst the engagement team at the planning stage and the team remained alert to non-compliance throughout the audit.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and the Trustees as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of Trustee meeting minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instance of material non-compliance was identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st March 2025**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies**
## **(a) General information and basis of preparation**
One Knowsley is a private company by guarantee and a registered charity in the United Kingdom. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity’s operations and principal activities are set out in the Trustees’ Report.
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 financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
## **(b) Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **(c) Income recognition**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the 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. Donated assets are included in the accounts at fair value and recognised in a designated Donated Assets Fund and depreciated in line with the charity’s depreciation policy.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). Further detail is given in the Trustees’ Annual Report.
Income received under a service level agreement or contract is recognised in the period to which the agreement relates.

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st March 2025**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**
## **(c) Income recognition (continued)**
The charity receives government and other grants in respect of specific projects and to support general revenue requirements. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are deferred.
Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Income from short-term room hire is recognised in the period to which the hire relates.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as bank deposits and is primarily in the form of interest. It is included when the amount can be measured reliably using the effective interest method.
## **(d) Expenditure recognition**
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 headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **(e) Support costs allocation**
- Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at the charity’s premises. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.
- The analysis of these costs is included in note 7.
## **(f) Intangible Fixed assets**
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
## **(g) Tangible Fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost (or valuation for donated assets) 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:
Leasehold Property Over the lease term of 27 years
Fixtures and Fittings 20% reducing balance
Computers 25% on cost
Caravan 15% on cost

## **ONE KNOWSLEY**
## **Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st March 2025**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**
## **(g) Tangible Fixed assets (continued)**
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.
## **(h) Impairment loss**
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).
## **(i) 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 payments 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.
## **(j) 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**
## **Notes to the Accounts Year ended 31st March 2025**
## **1. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)**
## **(k) Loans and borrowings**
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
## **(l) Concessionary loans**
Concessionary loans include those payable to a third party which are interest free or below market interest rates and are made to advance charitable purposes. Where the loan is repayable on demand within one year, the loan is measured at cost, less impairment. Where the loan is repayable more than one year, the loan is initially measured at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.
## **(m) Provisions**
Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount can be reliably estimated.
## **(n) 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.
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
## **(o) Tax**
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
## **(p) Going concern**
The financial statements show a net asset position of £1,405,593 (2024: £1,008,888). The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The forecast income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. Having regard to this matter, the trustees consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
## ( **q) Expenditure**
Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
## **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.
