## **Age UK Gateshead Limited Message from our Chair Year ended 31 March 2021**
I am delighted to present my fifth Annual Report as Chair of Age UK Gateshead.
It has been an extraordinary year on many levels, most of which has been positive as we have taken great strides forward with the objectives laid out in our plan. However, we produce this report at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic is still causing uncertainty. Despite significant challenges, Age UK Gateshead has been central to the co-ordinated response to the coronavirus outbreak working closely with our partners and Gateshead Council, which has reinforced our role as the leading provider of charitable services for older adults in the borough, at a time when we are needed the most.
Our vision is simple – to deliver lasting change in later life, whether that be through our services or strategies to secure long term financial security to allow us to grow and evolve the services and activities that are wanted and needed. As the only older persons charity operating within the borough of Gateshead demand creates its own pressures but in partnership with over 2,000 newly recruited volunteers, a raft of private companies and statutory providers we collectively made a tangible difference to over 14,000 people across Gateshead and Newcastle.
2,438 volunteers are part of the Age UK Gateshead family, 1,984 hot meals were delivered and 38,000 welfare calls were made and 12,432 hours of respite hours were provided. This is just a small snapshot of our work that is making a big difference.
Be under no illusion, the impact of COVID continues to shape people’s lives and the services we provide, but we can proudly say as a charity we were there to support our members, deliver food when it was most needed, listen to their experiences, have socially distanced chats but also a hug when words are simply not enough. These may seem like small acts, but they make a huge difference.
I would also like to pay tribute to our funders, partners and the many charitable trusts that recognise there is a need for providing excellent value for money services and that the culture of people at the centre of provision is how we as communities, charities and individuals get things done. It’s how we do it here at Age UK Gateshead.
We will continue to deliver lasting change, our heart continues beating in every community of Gateshead and we will always remain focused on our main priority – ensuring people in Gateshead love later life, no matter the challenges they may face.
Finally, thank you to our ‘Angels of the North’ – that being our staff, volunteers and trustees. Their dedication is second to none and without them, Age UK Gateshead would not be the charity it is. Thank you to all our friends, your support is needed as much this year as it was last year’.
Best wishes
Scott Duffy Chair

## **Financial review**
The accounts show a surplus for the year amounting to £222,480. (2020 – £103,753). The reserves will enable the charity to maintain services in the expected difficult times ahead. The charity now has a level of funding to assist in continuing activities which the trustees benefit the community when funding ceases. As growth takes place the costs are not often covered in full so again the reserve will help in these areas. Current funding lines are holding up which is encouraging.
The year was dominated by Covid. The charity was assisted with being able to furlough staff under the Job Retention Scheme. Grants were received to provide financial assistance under Government guidelines. As well as support for the charity grants were given to fund the work carried out to help people in Gateshead cope with the difficulties they faced in the Pandemic.
## **Risk Management**
Risks to the charity have been identified and reviewed on an ongoing basis, and appropriate action taken. This has included ensuring appropriate insurance cover, identifying physical risks such as uneven surfaces, reviewing fire safety systems and training staff, ensuring staff have first aid training, and undertaking a general health and safety risk assessment throughout our premises.
## **Reserves policy and going concern**
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of total charitable expenditure. It is estimated that this expenditure currently equates to £250,000 (2020 - £175,000). At this level of unrestricted reserves, the charity could maintain all operations for more than three months even if no income was being generated. Current unrestricted reserves after adjusting for fixed assets amount to £420,400 (2020 - £204,794).
The charity enjoys good liquidity and has no issue on meeting its liabilities when they are due. The trustees are confident for the next twelve months.

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 14 November 1984. It registered with the Charity Commission on 23 February 1990. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for three years.
All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the Charity.
All new trustees receive a trustee welcome pack, which contains key policies, strategic plans, code of conduct etc. They also receive induction time with the Chief Executive and opportunities to visit services and activities as well as access to any relevant training.
The Management Committee at 31[st] March 2021 was made up of 7 trustees. The Management Committee meet on a quarterly basis and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.
A line management system is in place with day to day responsibility for the management of the organisation resting with the Chief Executive.

## **Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Management Committee and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law 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 charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors 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; and
- prepare the financial statements 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 accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees of Age UK Gateshead Limited**
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company 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 your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the ‘2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s report**
I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.
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:
- 1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- 2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
- 3) the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.
