Claire Andrew Sean Earley Patrick Fox David Hickey Peter Henry Brian Irwin Dermot Kelly Sean Maguire Sean Stafford (resigned 25 May 2023)
## Number and Appointment of Trustees
As set out in the Articles of Association, the number of voluntary trustees is not subject to any maximum but shall not be less than three. One third of the elected members retire each year, with those longest serving retiring first. A retiring trustee shall be eligible for re-appointment. Trustees, other than those retiring by rotation, can only be appointed at a general meeting if (1) they are recommended by existing trustees or (2) the required notice has been given by a member entitled to vote of the intention to propose that person as a trustee and the required notice has been given to those entitled to receive notice of the meeting.
## **Our purpose, objectives and activities**
The charity exists to provide relief or benefit for persons in need, hardship or distress who are or have been formerly employed in the bakery industry or in any similar or allied industry on the island of Ireland and to the family and immediate dependents of any such person by the provision of financial or other charitable assistance as the directors may decide.
During 2023 the IBBS held 3 fundraising functions as is our normal practice, 2 Golf Days one in Northern Ireland and one In Republic of Ireland, and a charity ball in Dublin. Each were successful and a net total of €39,498 (2022: €34,806) was raised.
Of this total raised €30,000 (2002: €20,007) was provided as donations to recipients.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONT’D)**
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity is governed by directors drawn from Bakery Organizations in Ireland namely, The Irish Bakery Association (IBA), the Irish Bread Bakers Association (ROI) (the IBBA) and the Northern Ireland Bakery Council, (the NIBC). During the year persons in need identified themselves or were identified to one of these three organizations who in turn forwarded that persons need and situation to the charity Board for consideration. The Board seek to consider and reply quickly to these needs. Email is used to speedily gain consensus approval for a financial award to be made where the case is simple. More complex cases requiring more assistance are considered and approved at the next Board Meeting.
A total of 10 (2022: 9) awards amounting to €30,000 (2022: €20,007) were made during the year covering hardship and/or distress. These situations are brought about by a number of factors amongst them being; accident, illness prolonged or sudden, death of a family member, loss of a partner, loss of earnings or family tragedy **.** The members (ie Bakeries and Bakery Associations) of the charity are alert and sensitive to cases of hardship or distress amongst their employees or former employees or their Bakeries supplying trades.
A particular difficulty for the Associations is being aware of the situation of former employees or their dependents, particularly those of pensionable age and the very old who may have left employment many years previously.
The awards were all well received and appreciated. A second award is also possible where the hardship or distress continues and the proposing Association considers that it would be appropriate.
. The Trustees are all aware of their responsibilities under Public Benefit Guidance of the Charity Commissioners and confirm that Public Benefit requirement has informed the activities of the IBBS for year to 31 December 2023.
## **Financial Review**
The financial results for the year are set out in the statement of financial activities on page 6. Total incoming resources for the year were €88,177 (2022; €80,671) being income from the Charity Gala Ball and donations from two golf days, one held in Northern Ireland and one held in the Republic of Ireland.
Total resources expended amounts to €85,693 (2022; €81,060). In both years 100% of this cost was expended on direct charitable activities.
The charitable company generated an overall surplus for the year of €2,484 (2022; deficit €389). At the year end total charitable company funds were €378,985 (2022; €376,501) and are all held in an unrestricted fund.
The trustees consider the results for the year and the financial position of the charity at the year end to be satisfactory. All monies received supported the key objectives of the charitable company and funded charitable activity and support costs. The trustees are satisfied that the charity is in a strong financial position and can continue to provide relief in line with its purpose and objectives.
## **Reserves Policy**
The charity has a reserves policy in place to ensure it is in a position to continue to make assistance payments at a level consistent with or above those which have been maintained in recent years and to cover any contingencies which may arise. The trustees consider it is essential to maintain a substantial level of reserves to ensure funds are always available to meet their charitable and other commitments.
## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have prepared the charitable company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law, the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONT’D)**
income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions, 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 current statutory requirements including the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008 and subsequent amendments, The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015, Companies Act 2006, the charity’s Trust Deed, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102 (issued in October 2019) applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 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 charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Small companies’ exemption**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner**
As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company 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. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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.
4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified to reflect the use of resources. Expenditure is recognised inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
## **1.4 Taxation**

## **1.5 Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
## **1.6 Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held on call with banks.
## **1.7 Creditors**

**THE IRISH BAKERS BENEVOLENT SOCIETY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS (CONT’D)**
## **Unrestricted funds**
General funds are unrestricted funds which 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**
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided, at their discretion, to set aside to use for a specific purpose. These relate to donations received where the donor has expressed a preference that the funds be used for a specific project or purpose, which the trustees intend to honour.
## **1.10 Preparation of accounts on the going concern basis**
Having considered the financial performance of the charity and its financial position at year-end and on the date of signing the accounts, and considered expected financial performance in the future, the trustees are satisfied that the charity has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements.
## **2 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
Estimates and judgements are required when applying accounting policies. These are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future, which can involve a high degree of judgement or complexity. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. Given the limited activity of the charitable company, the trustees consider any judgements, estimates and assumptions as outlined above to be of a nature which has no material impact on the reported assets, liabilities income and expenditure.
