York Cares Golden Moments

Financial review

Total income during the year was £295,851 (2023: £248,166) compared to total expenditure of £340,344 (2023: £278,573) providing a deficit of £44,493 (2023: deficit £30,407). The unrestricted deficit was £48,675 compared with a surplus of £556 last year.

Donations in the year include office and accommodation costs in kind from the University of York of £161,394 (2023: £132,494). Membership fees form the basis of the charity’s main source of income and totalled £75,876 (2023: £73,083). The majority of the costs of the charity relate to staffing requirements totalling £153,766 (2023: £118,194).

Reserves policy

The trustees are very much aware of the need to develop a strong financial position for the charity. An objective had been set of building adequate reserves over time to cover six months forward operating costs plus redundancy costs for the current staff team, this has now been achieved. In January 2024, trustees placed some of the remainder of the reserves in a fixed-term high interest account.

Free reserves at 31 July 2024 were £170,762 (2023: £219,437).

 

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Trustee selection methods

Under the Articles of Association, the members of the Council of Management are empowered at any time to appoint any person to be a member of the council.

Additional governance issues

 

The trustees detailed below constitute directors of the company for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006. None of the trustees held an interest in the charity during the year. The trustees who served during the year were employees or representatives of members of local employers who supported York Cares during the period. The manager of York Cares is Holly Hennell.

The board of trustees shall not be less than three, but is not subject to any maximum number, and meets at least quarterly to administer the charity. The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to act as a trustee to fill a vacancy or as an additional trustee.

Trustees are given an appropriate period of induction and training, depending on the individual’s requirements and knowledge of the Charity’s activities. All trustees are reminded of their statutory obligations and given appropriate guidance and training on their responsibilities as trustees.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of York Cares for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

 

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; and

 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF YORK CARES
- 7 -

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of York Cares (the charity) for the year ended 31 July 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 2006 Act 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 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 2006 Act; or

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 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 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 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 financial statements to be reached.

Accounting policies
Charity information

York Cares is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales.

The Charity's registered office and the nature of the charity's principle activities are as stated in Legal and Administrative Information.

 

1.1
Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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 the historical cost convention. 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.

1.4
Income

This is included in the statement of financial activities when:

- the charity becomes entitled to the income

- the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the income; and

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 11 -

Donations in kind

These are only included in income (with an equivalent amount in expenditure) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Donations include donated services of £161,394 (2023: £132,494) from the University of York for office accommodation and related costs. The value of this donation in kind has been calculated using 50% of the TRAC Full Economic Costing rate used by the University of York, on the basis that York Cares does not use some elements of the University’s infrastructure. Other donations in kind total £4,093 (2023: £6,483).

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind used by the charity are included in the accounts as income when receivable.

 

Grants and donations

Grants and donations are only included in the accounts when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
1.5
Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

 

Expenditure is included in the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis. Wages and salaries of £153,766 are in respect of a recharge of employment costs seconded from the University of York. £161,394 has been included as office accommodation and related costs provided in kind by the University of York.

 

Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. These are included within charitable activities.

 

Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report.

1.6
Tangible fixed assets

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £250.

 

They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt, less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates to write off the costs less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows:-

Fixtures and fittings
10% straight line
Computers
33% straight line

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
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8
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.
