Mission, Objectives and Strategy

Objectives

To promote for public benefit, the protection, preservation and improvement of the physical environment in Northern Ireland through our five main categories; Best Kept Towns, Villages, Housing Areas, Healthcare Facilities and Schools.

To encourage civic pride in all the communities within the five categories , thus improving their local area. They are impartially judged using set criteria with the aim of being awarded the "Best Kept" title each year. The awards create great local interest in all the participating communities creating extensive coverage in all weekly and daily press.

Working with the support of local councils, the awards recognise and reward Northern Ireland's best community environmental projects including the promotion of recycling and conservation of resources. Civic pride is encouraged and communities are motivated to make the most of their outdoor spaces and built environment.

The competition encourages voluntary participation to encourage cleanliness of streets including the absence of litter, fly posting, graffiti, vandalism and dog fouling, care and presentation of natural environment and open spaces including new ideas to promote conservation. The unique nature of the Best Kept Awards is to challenges local communities to co-operate with councils in improving their environment, thus offering savings to councils and rate payers.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

‘Strategy

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

Achievements and performance

The Best Kept Awards are a much respected and established brand throughout Northern Ireland. By councils affiliating and supporting the programme, it encourages everyone within the categories to participate in raising the profile of the town/village/school/housing area/healthcare facility that they represent.

A wider economic benefit to Northern treland's economy is through attracting tourists to towns and villages that are extremely attractive, well maintained and nicely presented.

The Best Kept Awards programme continues to offer a long term positive impact for the environment. It is an organisation that delivers an important community based environmental message throughout the year and across the province, it plays a major role in the lives of the residents of many communities. Children from a very young age get involved, it is important that children who are our citizens of today, and more especially, of the future become more aware of the environment and its needs in which they live. It also offers opportunity for healthy exercise in fresh air and provides activity suitable for the less able.

Northern Ireland Amenity Council

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Northern Ireland Amenity Council isa company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office of the charity is DNTCA Limited, Chartered Accountants and Statutory Auditor, Ormeau House, 91-97 Ormeau Road, Belfast, Antrim, BT7 1SH which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.

  1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity's financial statements.

;

Basis of preparation The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard. As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.

Statement of compliance

The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2023 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.

Fund accounting

The following are the categories of funds maintained:

Restricted funds

Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.

Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.

= General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. ,

w Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.

Income

‘Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.

income from charitable activities

Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors. Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions: = Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as The supplementary information does not form part of the financial statements 11

income.

aTime based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.

In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.

Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.

Expenditure

Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment

Debtors

.

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.

Taxation and deferred taxation

No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable valued added tax is expensed as incurred.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the charity's taxable income and its results as stated in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

  1. GOING CONCERN

The Trustees have not identified any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
