THE PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06297341)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objects of the charitable company are:

a) Develop the capacities and skills of socially and economically excluded and disadvantaged groups and individuals in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and participate more fully in society; and
b) Promote for the public benefit urban regeneration in areas of social and economic deprivation.

The areas of benefit are the local authority areas of Portsmouth, Havant, Gosport and Fareham

Significant activities
During the Autumn and Winter of 2022/23, the trustees became increasingly concerned about the impact of rising interest rates, energy bills and increasing cost of food on poorer communities in Portsmouth. This urgent concern about the rapidly rising cost of living led the board of the Foundation to approve £50,000 of its funds to help all 22 food banks and food pantries across the area. The Foundation works with and through partners, like The Hive in Portsmouth, who have close relations with the many active voluntary organisations that support communities throughout the year. The Hive distributed these funds equally to all the food banks and pantries for essential food, cleaning products and toiletries.

For the Partnership Foundation to achieve its objectives of helping people, families and communities suffering social and economic deprivation, it depends on the valuable work of grassroots voluntary organisations who provide a support network across the city and its surrounding areas. The past year's investment, of £171,000, has built on existing partnerships with these organisations (who support disadvantaged groups across SE Hants). The Foundation sees a number of them as 'trusted partners', who can deliver its charitable objectives, cost-effectively. During this year these 'trusted partners' have included the Roberts Centre (£17,500), Aspex (£20,000), Motiv8 (£23,000) and Jacobs Well in Gosport (£10,000). This approach has helped direct the Foundation's focus toward more sustained grant giving over a two to three year period sustaining longer term projects and helping to extend their reach and capacity. One-off grants also went to Hope into Action (£10,000) and Portsmouth Community Housing Trust (£25,000) who are developing affordable housing for homeless individuals and families.

The Foundation continued with its Community Projects Fund which offers small grants of £500. The fifteen recipients over this year included voluntary organisations like Sparks Community Space, Portsea Carnival, the Havelock Centre, and the Andrew Simpson Foundation (a full list can be found on page 9 of these accounts).

The Partnership Foundation also continued its support of Two Saints' work with the homeless and those at risk of homelessness with an ongoing donation of £2,500 for their personal funds programme. This money pays for small essential items (generally less than £50), to solve an immediate need or help the person progress towards independence.

Through the Partnership Foundation we will continue to provide flexible funding that is responsive to the changing needs of our communities.

Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The trustees refer to public benefit throughout this report.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The trustees can also report an deficit of incoming resources over resources expended of £102,532 for the year.

Reserves policy
The Partnership Foundation is a small charity that receives donations annually from the Portsmouth and SE Hampshire Partnership (PSEHP). PSEHP is a local not for profit regeneration company that owns commercial property and distributes its surpluses. These annual donations vary around £75,000 per annum. The Partnership Foundation's current, sole activity is to make grants to projects in line with its charitable objectives. The Foundation rents an office in Portsmouth Guildhall on a monthly licence and has no other contractual obligations. Staff costs are paid hourly for management and administration as and when needed.

The trustees agreed to keep reserves of £10,000 on the understanding this amount would easily cover any unforeseen costs. This reserves policy is reviewed annually when the accounts are prepared.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The Partnership Foundation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incorporated on 29 June 2007 and registered with the Charity Commission on 11 December 2007.

The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 8 May 2007.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Partnership Foundation ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

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 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:

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 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.

THE PARTNERSHIP FOUNDATION

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The trustees consider that there are material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure
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 the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Office equipment - 33.33% on cost

Individual fixed assets costing £250 or more are capitalised at cost.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Financial instruments
The charity only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable and investments in stocks and shares. The measurement basis used for these instruments is detailed below.
