Strategies for achieving aims and objectives

Strategy

 

Our short term strategy was reviewed during 2020/21, particularly in the light of the March 2020 Coronavirus restrictions;

 

Improve facilities within the whole Wardens Trust estate, Avocet flat, main Hall and camping in order to increase footfall from our target population.

Continue to offer services and facilities both within our Hall and within the community for lonely and socially isolated individuals.

 

To maintain adequate reserves (general and restricted) to finance administration costs and infrastructure.

 

To respond to changes in local needs for our target population as they develop, by involvement in local authority Community Partnership schemes.

 

These aims were reviewed again in light of the Coronavirus pandemic and compliance with government restrictions was adhered to at all times.

 

Evidence of need

 

Wardens Trust aims to deliver services and facilities to persons of any age who are or might be suffering from mental or physical disability, illness or disorder, and to assist them in their mental and spiritual welfare.

 

The facilities include a 4.5 acre seaside site in Suffolk, with a main Hall and kitchen, 4 bedroom 12 bed annexe and the Avocet holiday flat for disabled users. There is a large cliff-top camping area outside.

 

The amenities are only available on a pre-booking basis and are fully described further on the Trust website www.wardenstrust.org

 

During the year, demand for the facility and the services was high. Our email mailing list of over 200 names and over 60 user organisations is healthy.

Public benefit

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives

 

Wardens Trust continued to deliver services to young and old, and anyone with mental and physical disabilities.

 

Visitor numbers in 2023-24 continue to increase after the pandemic. Bath Day and Lunch Clubs restarted in 2023-24 and their activities continue to increase. The Charity's other activities including a future dog show and Ness Fest are scheduled for mid-2024.

 

The Trust's infrastructure funding objective in 2023-24 was the provision of an outside toilet block with disabled access. This will be built and commissioned in 2024-25.

 

Donations and grants received during the year continue to be a crucial source of income.

Investment performance

Investment income is derived from a portfolio managed by Brewin Dolphin on behalf of Wardens Trust.

Financial review

The accounts show a net deficit for the year of £(7,278) (2023: a surplus of £34,398). The closing fund balances total £104,583 as at 30 April 2024.

Reserves policy

 

The Trust’s Reserves Policy is reviewed annually. This is set at approximately one year’s turnover (excluding new developments) plus an amount set aside for business continuity should there be a major issue with the Hall not covered by our Buildings Insurance Policy. The Reserves Policy considers the major risks, financial and reputational to the Trust and considers mitigations for those. The Trustees assessed the major risks during 2022/23 and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Income is mainly derived from fees and grants, but it remains the longer term financial strategy to slowly increase the former so as not to be so reliant on the latter.

Factors likely to affect future financial performance

Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic and since restrictions have lifted, the Trustees have produced a revised budget which has been regularly reviewed and this has continued to date. The Trust obtained grants in 2022/23 to deliver services in the community and to fund core costs. The trustees are confident that the Trust remains financially viable with its plans for the future and the stability provided by its reserves in hand.

 

Plans for future periods

The Trust's major funding objective previously planned for 2023/24 was the provision of an outside toilet block with disabled access, Building work on this planned project has been delayed and is now planned to commence in 2024-25.

 

The next funding objectives are:-

a) to improve the UK Power Networks electricity supply of the hall;and

b) to develop a plan for long term sustainability of the roof of the hall.

Structure, governance and management

 

Wardens Trust is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales. The maximum liability of each member is limited to £1.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF WARDENS TRUST
- 5 -

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wardens Trust (the charity) for the year ended 30 April 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

 

As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.

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 386 of the Companies Act 2006.

2

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3

the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4

the financial statements 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 financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2024

1
Accounting policies
Charity information

Wardens Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Beeches, Littlethorpe, Ripon, HG4 3LW.

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Trust Deed, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under historic cost convention, modified to include the fixed asset investments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

 

Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3
Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Designated funds have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific charitable activities.

1.4
Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Donations received for the general purposes of the Trust are included as unrestricted funds. Donations for activities restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to ‘restricted funds’ where their wishes are legally binding on the Trustees.

 

Income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.

Income from charitable activities received represents amounts received for services provided.

1.5
Expenditure

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis. Most expenditure is directly appointed to cost categories based on the amount attributable to that activity in the year. Charitable activities costs included costs of preparation of the statutory accounts.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 10 -
1.6
Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Leasehold improvements
10 years straight line basis
Motor vehicles
25% reducing balance

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7
Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.8
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks.

1.9
Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

 

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 11 -
Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10
Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2
Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
