REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024


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 31st March 2024. 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).

New Directions (Rugby) Limited (New Directions) provides housing and support to vulnerable people, including adults with learning disabilities. The Charity provides residential and respite support in the Charity's own bespoke homes, support to people living in their own homes and also through day opportunities and sessional services.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The Charity's objectives are set out in the Articles of Association but have been summarised for the benefit of the Inspection Service under the Care Standards Act and the Essential Standards of Quality and Safety, as follows:

1. The provision and facilitation of housing, social housing, supported housing and specialised supported housing to vulnerable members of society;

2. The provision of residential and day care facilities for vulnerable and learning disabled people, either on a long-term basis or on a short-term basis, and to provide respite for those who are normally cared for by their families, carers or guardians;

3. The provision of transition skills training/facilities for vulnerable and learning disabled people to enable them to learn how to live in their own homes now and in the future;

4. The provision of facilities, in the interests of social welfare, for education, volunteering, employment and for the recreation of such persons and generally such facilities and services as shall be calculated to alleviate their needs.

Our Mission and Vision is: To make a positive difference to the lives of vulnerable people, including those with learning disabilities, by promoting their rights, independence, choices, inclusion and by providing support and opportunities for them to lead fulfilling lives.

To provide a range of quality accommodation, as well as support at home and supported living support, and services to people with learning disabilities and their families/carers to promote their self-respect, individuality, dignity and to ensure they are safe and able to achieve their goals and wishes.

We Believe:
- Everyone is equal and should have the same chances and choices in life

- People with learning disabilities should be listened to and supported to make choices that are right for them

- That the views of families, friends, carers and staff are very important and should be heard

- People should be supported and encouraged to be as independent as their potential allows

- That we should always strive to improve our services and adapt them to the changing needs of the people we support whilst ensuring value for money services

We will do that:
- By putting the interests of vulnerable people, including those with learning disabilities, and their families at the heart of everything we do, listening to their wishes, hopes and aspirations of their futures.

- By adopting a person centred approach, promoting individual choice, independence and by valuing and treating everyone with dignity and respect.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

- By providing high quality accommodation and support through a range of residential, supported living, short stay/respite, home care options, day, leisure, social activities and support towards volunteering or employment opportunities.

- By ensuring our staff are well supported, trained, highly motivated, able to deliver the highest quality individually tailored support services to each person we are responsible for.

- By striving to improve services, to continually raise local awareness, promoting the positive contribution and potential of people with a learning disability within their community.

- New Directions is committed to enhance the rights, independence, choice and inclusion of people with disabilities and to provide opportunities for them to lead full and purposeful lives and to be involved in the community they live in.

Public benefit
The Charity exists to support vulnerable people, including those with learning disabilities, their families and carers; their choices and wishes are at the very heart of everything we do, through our person - centred services. Our links with families, friends and carers are very important to the Charity and we aim to maintain these and offer support as far as we are able. The Charity regularly reviews the ways in which it engages with people who use the services, families, friends and carers. Current engagement methods include newsletters, emails, social media and meetings with individuals.

In setting the Charity's objectives and strategies we have given due consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

The Charity currently supports over 130 people with a disability and employs over 170 people from Rugby and the surrounding areas.

We also work with local schools, colleges and businesses to improve their understanding of disability issues, facilitate opportunities for joint partnership working and more inclusion for people with disabilities, both in the community and within social networks. We work in partnership with local groups and charities to share our resources wherever we can including offering room hire within our buildings at affordable rates.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Charity continues to consolidate its financial reserves enabling it to invest in innovative new developments and services to meet the needs of its existing and future customers.

Poppy Place and Vicarage Road remain our two residential homes for the majority of 2023/4 supporting a total of 12 people with disabilities during the year with Poppy Place achieving full occupancy by the end of the financial year. In January 2024 we successfully opened Daisy Court, our newly built 10 bed care home which replaced Vicarage Road, to ensure a fully accessible care home for those we support.

Milner House, our residential respite service has seen a great increase in the number of referrals, especially from the Transitions Team of Warwickshire County Council with occupancy rates hitting an all-time high of 91%. We continue to work with our funders to meet the increasing level of demand, identifying new people to support and to maximise the income of the property to ensure that we can secure the long-term future for the service as it is so vital for so many families across Rugby and Warwickshire.

Community Choices Network (CCN) our day opportunities facility at The Exchange has also recovered well from the longer-term effects of the pandemic with attendance levels returning to near capacity.

Richmond Court, Gateway Court, Kings Court, Lennon Court and Queens Court continue to offer supported housing for up to 75 people living in their own flats, enabling them to live as independently as possible. 1 other individual is supported within their own home in Rugby.

Training compliance levels reached above 95% across the organisation and staff surveys carried out in May 2023 demonstrated a 10% increase in staff feeling valued.


NEW DIRECTIONS (RUGBY) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02647131)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

We have received a number of donations during the year including several from the families of the people we support and our thanks go to these families. One local family very generously donated a new accessible bath which has been installed at Milner House to replace an obsolete model.

We also received donations from local charities and businesses. The Inner Wheel of Rugby donated a further £3,700 having donated £2,300 in the previous financial year and 'Iforce' donated £1,000 towards the installation of the new bath at Milner House.

We received generous donations from Sir Edward Boughton Long Lawford Charity, and received funds raised by the Gateway Club which was dissolved during the year and also from 'Pantomaniacs' who resolved that each year funds raised from their seasonal Panto performances would be donated to New Directions Rugby.

Quality Assessments and Achievements
Care Quality Commission Assessments
All our homes and services have received a "Good" rating, under the new assessment regime, with very positive inspection reports with no actions to follow up.

Disability Confident Employer
New Directions maintains its status as a Disability Confident Employer; this is the successor to "Positive about Disability".

Feedback and Involvement by the People we Support
Customer and Stakeholder Satisfaction Feedback
The views of everyone involved with the Charity are very important to us. We obtain regular feedback through user-friendly questionnaires and also through group meetings. These enable customers and stakeholders to tell us what we do well and what they would like us to change. Our electronic feedback forms enabled even more people to give feedback this year with higher levels of satisfaction being expressed and 96.8% of 115 respondents categorising our service delivery as either 'Good' or 'Very Good' giving detailed feedback each being able to submit it anonymously should they choose to.

Person Centred Plans
Everyone we support has a person - centred plan, which involves placing the individual at the centre of the plan, their family and friends and support staff. These plans are reviewed annually and are a key part of our organisational philosophy. We look at what is important to the individual and how they can be supported to achieve their needs and desires.

Voices and Choices and Tenants meetings
The people we support meet on a regular basis, supported by invited staff members, in a Voices and Choices meeting. Tenants are also invited to quarterly meetings to discuss their homes and where they live. The people we support have the opportunity to make suggestions and to tell us about their ideas at these meetings. These groups continue to be involved in shaping future services and to play an active part in governance.


Developing our Communications
We continue to produce regular communications, which are formatted in an accessible, easy to read and understandable format. This newsletter highlights the achievements and adventures of our customers and staff along with future developments. We also send out email news updates, and information through our Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Instagram social media pages and through updates on our website.

The "Star of the Month" award which recognizes the hard work and commitment of individual staff members continues to be well received and valued alongside the Teamwork and CEO's Outstanding Contribution awards to recognise our staff in greater numbers for their contributions.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Developing our Staff
New Directions is committed to and invests in a comprehensive staff training and development programme for all its staff team, so they are knowledgeable, skilled, continually updated and to ensure they can offer the highest quality of services to people with learning disabilities. The improvements put in place and felt over the last year in terms of learning and development has seen near 100% compliance in training achieved across the organisation and satisfaction and feedback from staff on their development rise accordingly

The Board would like to thank all the staff and volunteers for their hard work and dedication over the last year.

Future Developments

During 2022-25 our strategic objectives are:

- To establish a purpose-built modern residential care home within Rugby during 2023 so that we can meet our
commitment to those we currently support and develop fully wheelchair accessible living options.

- Continue to maintain and increase our occupancy levels within residential, respite and supported living services,
actively working with commissioners, social workers and families to fill vacancies across the organisation within
the shortest timescales possible.

- To maintain full cost recovery when tendering for all new or existing work in order that the organisation remains
secure and pay rates for staff can remain competitive. We are committed to working with Warwickshire County
Council to inform the Government's Fair Cost of Care exercise.

- To maintain each of our existing 'good' ratings from our regulator; the Care Quality Commission and actively
aspire to achieve outstanding ratings for all of our services.

- To continue to invest in the recruitment, retention and development of our existing and new staff members who
are essential in delivering caring, compassionate and high-quality person-centred support - actively celebrating
the diversity and dedication of our workforce.

- Work in partnership with commissioners alongside other providers to help shape and deliver more flexible and
personalised models of support that give greater choice and control to the individuals we support.

- Having established a Learning and Development Manager role within the organisation we are now delivering our
staff induction, development and training programmes more flexibly within the organisation to better meet the
needs of our own staff and will continue to work towards developing and delivering training in-house and in
partnership with others. Most importantly we will continue to thank, reward and develop all of our staff across
the organisation who have worked tirelessly through an incredibly difficult year.

The Board is happy to report that the Charity is progressing well against all strategic objectives set. A realistic timeline and targets for filling voids held within supported living has been set for 2024/5.




FINANCIAL REVIEW
Review of past financial year
The Charity has had another successful year and continues to build its reserves to ensure the future security for those people it supports.

2023/24 saw Daisy Court, our latest residential 10 bed care home development, officially opened by the Mayor of Rugby on the 5th March 2024. Daisy Court helps safeguard the ability of the charity to continue to support and provide accessible accommodation for as long as anyone we support needs it.


NEW DIRECTIONS (RUGBY) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02647131)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

During a highly aspirational year with much energy and time focused upon the build, registration and opening of Daisy Court, it was particularly pleasing to see that our respite service Milner House and our Day opportunities service each significantly increased their occupancy and attendance levels.

Through a tender process held during the Spring of 2023, we secured our place on the framework jointly operated by Warwickshire County Council and the Integrated Commissioning Board (ICB). This in turn enabled new fee rates to be put in place from 1st August 2023 enabling the Charity to fulfil its strategic objective of ensuring a full cost recovery approach to all contracting arrangements.

The investment in growth seen in recent years means that we are in a strong financial position going forward and the budgets for 2025 indicate that all services will make a positive financial contribution to the Charity. Managers are required to report directly to the Board on their service and are held to account if budgets are not maintained.

The Board, CEO and management team recognise that while 2023/4 has been a very busy and challenging year, the hard work undertaken across the organisation has laid the foundations needed to continue to drive forward the high quality support and accommodation provided. All are committed to keeping the running costs of the Charity as low as possible, whilst maintaining our high quality, responsive services.

Going Concern basis
The National Living Wage increased again during the year, which places a significant burden on the social care sector at a time when cost of living rises and inflation rates place additional pressures on those working in the sector. Our funders announced a 10% funding increase for the year of 2023/4, yet with careful planning the Board of Trustees was able to put in place an 11% increase for our frontline staff in recognition of the cost of living crisis. The Charity has achieved planned growth in the last few years and the Trustees are confident the Charity will continue to operate as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Reserves policy
The trustees of New Directions believe that the Charity should hold financial reserves because:

1. It has no endowment funding and is dependent for income upon fees received from the local government. Under present circumstances this may be expected to reduce significantly and/or at short notice
2. It requires protection against and the ability to continue operating despite any unforeseen events or temporary shortfalls
3. It is necessary to provide funds which can be designated to specific projects in line with our strategic objectives
4. To cover administration, fundraising and support costs without which the Charity could not function.

The trustees consider it prudent that free reserves, defined as net current assets less amounts that are designated or restricted for a specific purpose, should be sufficient to cover 3-6 months' administration, fundraising and support costs, and to provide a pool from which funds can be designated.

The trustees also consider it prudent to ensure that it retains sufficient cash to cover 3 months' cashflow.

The required level of free reserves and cash held, along with the position at the end of each quarter, is reported to the trustees at each board meeting.

The reserves policy is reviewed by the trustees every three years.

The Board of Trustees presently consists of ten members and meets a minimum of four times per annum. The maximum number of Trustees is twelve and shall be not less than five. The powers of the Board are defined in the Articles of Association dated 7th January 2014. The Board is made up of members who have a range of experience in areas such as special needs education, finance, psychology, business development, housing and local authority, legal matters and family members of the people we support, who can give an insight into living with people with learning disabilities. The board members provide complimentary skills, experience and knowledge ensuring an objective view in any management discussion.

The Board has two sub-groups being Finance and Development and Quality Assurance and Policy: both made up of Trustees and are supported by the management team. The Sub-Groups have delegated powers and agreed Terms of Reference and report to the Full Board of Trustees. Following a Governance review held in October 2023, each trustee is also allocated to the development of one of the following 8 areas of good governance as defined by NCVO; Foundation principle, Organisational purpose, Leadership, Integrity, Decision making, risk and control, Board effectiveness, Equality, diversity and inclusion and Open & accountable.

Regulation, Compliance and Funders
As a provider of supported living, respite, supported housing and residential care services the Charity is subject to regulations set out by the Care Quality Commission. The Charity is subject to planned and unplanned inspections to ensure that all regulations are complied with. The Chief Executive reports the findings of all inspection reports to the Board and any action taken or needed. In complying with the Essential Standards of Quality and Safety from the Care Quality Commission, the Trustees are of the opinion that all risks relating to the activities of the Charity have been identified and robust systems and procedures are in place to manage those risks.

The Charity works closely with the Local Authority, Warwickshire County Council and the National Health Service in the form of the Integrated Care Board (ICB). Most customers are financed by fees paid by either Warwickshire County Council or the ICB. The Charity has developed good working relationships with Warwickshire County Council and the ICB and has developed innovative services and accommodation in line with the needs of the people it supports and commissioning intentions. Some customers also pay out of their own personal budgets.

The Chief Executive is responsible for ensuring that all the financial controls are in place. The Finance Manager carries out the day-to-day functions and is responsible to the Chief Executive.

Major financial decisions are made by the Board of Trustees.

The Board has confirmed its compliance with the Good Governance Code of Practice as recommended by the Charity Commission. This includes internal controls, financial, governance and risk management, whistle-blowing, equality and diversity, performance appraisal, clarity of roles and measures to avoid personal benefit or conflicts of interest.

Risk management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The Charity has a risk strategy in place along with a detailed risk register ensuring that the risks are identified, assessed and managed. Significant risks to the charity are reviewed by the Trustees at every Board meeting.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of New Directions (Rugby) Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

-there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Atkinson Finch & Co, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 19th November 2024 and signed on its behalf by:





J Jarman - Secretary

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NEW DIRECTIONS (RUGBY) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02647131)

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of New Directions (Rugby) Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31st March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31st March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NEW DIRECTIONS (RUGBY) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02647131)


Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP (FRS102).

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company's ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud.

Our procedures to respond to the various risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessments of risk, including reviewing the charitable company's own risk register, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. This risk increases the more that compliance with the law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
NEW DIRECTIONS (RUGBY) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 02647131)


Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024

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.

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.

Grants
Income from grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds. The income is matched to the associated expenditure and any element of the grant that relates to future costs is deferred and carried forward in an appropriate restricted fund.

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.

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


Freehold property - not provided
Short leasehold - period of the lease
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost
Motor vehicles - 25% on cost

The trustees consider that the freehold buildings are maintained in such a state of repair that their residual value is at least equal to their net book value. As a result the corresponding depreciation would not be material and therefore is not charged in the Statement of Financial Activities.

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.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the charity for a specific purpose,

Restricted funds can only be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes.Where funds have been given for the benefit of residents or customers they are allocated to a specific restricted fund. These may be transferred at a later date to another restricted fund that provides a different benefit for the same group of people provided it is in accordance with the specific restrictions on the original donation.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
