## _**Recruitment and appointment of trustees**_ 

We operate a skills based recruitment process. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## _**Objects and aims**_ 

To promote the welfare of the aged in any manner which now is or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable within the area bounded by the Gedling Borough boundary with the City of Nottingham in the west and south and bounded by Mapperley Plains in the north and the boundary with Newark & Sherwood District Council in the east. 

## _**Objectives, strategies and activities**_

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Our aim is to daily strive to support our ethos of celebrating later life and reducing the feelings of isolation and loneliness. We achieve this by offering a number of services including the Mayfield Centre, Luncheon Club and our Drop in Tearoom. 

Our Mayfield Centre which operates four days a week, Tuesday to Friday from 10:00-2:30, continues to serve members from the local area. The centre offers a variety of activities and a three course lunch. We have many long-standing members, some of whom attend every day, however overall attendance remains low, whilst costs continue to rise. 

The Lunch-on Club which operates within the Mayfield Centre complements our day service. A freshly prepared three course meal is available to book on an ad hoc basis and regularly has five people upwards who join the members of the Mayfield Centre. Additionally, we offer a monthly lunch-on club to a local group of older people. Attendance at this event is usually between twenty to twenty-four people. 

Afternoon Teas can be booked through our tearoom, again we have a regular group of approximately twenty people who come monthly but also cater for ad-hoc bookings. Interest in afternoon teas is increasing. 

During the next 12 months we are hoping to increase the occupation of our Day Centre room by hiring out the room on a Monday and after the centre is closed to our day centre members. 

Our small Tea Room is open Monday to Saturday and can accommodate up to sixteen people. It offers very reasonably priced refreshments including light lunches, snacks and a variety of drinks, a listening ear and companionship and a warm space in the colder months. This year two more volunteers have undertaken the Food Hygiene certificate and are able to run the café when staff are absent. Recently, we have also started to offer home-made soups and pies, which has been well received by our customers. We are hoping to continue to grow the menu and the number of customers over the coming year. 

Our main source of income is generated through our charity shop which is run by a manager and a team of thirty-five dedicated volunteers. Sales have again remained stable despite a drop in the price of rags and competition from Vinted, EBay and many other on-line sites used by individuals to sell items. We continue to receive a steady flow of high-quality second-hand items, including electricals. We took the decision this year to cease our furniture collection service and no longer operate a van, as the operation was proving unprofitable. We continue to sell small pieces of furniture, able to be carried by one person, enabling our customers to take the furniture away with them. We regularly sell higher priced items, which do not sell through the shop, at auction; this is proving successful. Sales of jewellery have also increased as we now have a volunteer with a background in jewellery who has helped us identify and sell the jewellery. 

This year has seen a significant change on the Board of Trustees, four new Trustees joined us from a background of social care, community nursing and business. They replaced three long serving Trustees, who whilst they have stepped away from the Board, continue to support us. The Board is concentrating on assessing both the short- and long-term strategy of the charity, with the view to securing the charity’s future but recognise that there are difficult decisions to be made. 

The buildings which the charity occupy have not received the necessary investment, resulting in serious financial implications. We have secured a grant to carry out some of the works but need to raise further funds to ensure the buildings fully comply with current legislation. This is going to be a challenge for the coming year. 

We continue to be very grateful for the support we receive from a dedicated team of volunteers who support the shop, the Mayfield Centre and the Tea Room, between them they give over 11,000 hours to the charity enabling us to offer our services, we could not survive without them.

## **Trustees' Report (continued)** 

## **Financial review** 

Third sector charity shops have faced difficulties in recent years. Age Concern Carlton and District is no exception. Expenditure was above income for this reporting period of almost £20,000. Trustees have taken steps to increase income and reduce expenditure to tackle the issue. Work is in hand and is progressing. The situation is being carefully monitored. 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

Our income and expenditure has remained consistent over the years with the majority of income being generated through our charity shop; this year our income has also been supplemented by grants. We recognise that our reserves are still low but are trying hard to build these up, the aim being to have reserves equivalent to 26 weeks.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Age Concern Carlton and District** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Age Concern Carlton and District** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Age Concern Carlton and District (the Charity) for the year ended 30 September 2025. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Age Concern Carlton and District** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Age Concern Carlton and District meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. 

## **Income and endowments** 

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

Page 10 



## **Age Concern Carlton and District** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 (continued)** 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Furniture & equipment|15% reducing balance|
|Motor vehicles|25% reducing balance|
|Computer equipment|33% reducing balance|



## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

Page 11 



## **Age Concern Carlton and District** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2025 (continued)** 

## **Borrowings** 

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the over the period of the relevant borrowing. 

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges. 

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
