## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objects of the Trust are the advancement of the Christian faith, the relief of persons who are in condition of need, hardship or distress or who are aged or sick and the advancement of education. The Trust has wide powers relating to the use of the property and funds passing through its hands. The Trustees consider that they have complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 with regard to the guidance given on public benefit published by the Charities Commission.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Background** 

The Charity had another year of successful activities across all services. It came out of the period with a deficit of £22,593 set against a predicted deficit of £17,503. 

The year saw some significant changes in Senior Management which included the departure of the Charity's Finance Coordinator, who had faithfully served St Paul's Centre for many years. The Trustees welcomed a new member to  serve on the Board, making a total of 4 Trustees covering a range of skills needed to exercise effective governance. 

The period saw the recently appointed Deputy CEO (Jez Chalmers) becoming more embedded into the life of the charity, which continued to enable more efficient management of the increasing load of a growing Charity, as well as seeing him deputies for the CEO and allowing the CEO to reduce his hours. The Trustees also decided that the role of Finance Manager needed to be re-evaluated to match the increasing level and complexity of the financial management  in the Charity. Accordingly, Janet Warrington was appointed in August with the added responsibility of managing HR  and Administration. After settling into her new role, Janet continued to make real progress in developing Cost Centres and enabling the Senior Team to better understand the costs involved with the charitable projects we were running and see where finance/productivity needs to be increased or controlled accordingly. 

The Charity also continued to process a change from being a Charitable Trust to being a Community Interest Organisation, with support from appointed solicitors in the field. 

2023/24 has possibly been the busiest year in leading the Charity. The services have been successful, but there have been many changes to manage. As the year closed, we were made aware of possible cuts in local funding which threatened 25% of our annual income on the Furniture Scheme, which would, if left unaddressed have very significant impacts on people in need and the ability of the Charity to continue to deliver its core activity to the community. Until the announcement was made on 1st April 2024 it was almost impossible to make any firm plans. By March, Trustees approved a budget for 24/25 that showed a large deficit but agreed that work would be done by the team to address  these concerns. As such the senior team set about devising other ways to secure income streams as well as hold out hope that some funding would become available from the local authority for these pressing household needs and keep a very careful eye on progress with a budget review in September 2024. 

Throughout the period the Charity has met its objectives and in comparison, with 2022-2023 saw an increase in  turnover of £28,407. 

## **Services in Brief** 

## **Furniture Project** 

The furniture project continued to have a significant impact in the local community with 316 household referrals via the Emergency Assistance program and 163 household referrals that utilised our 30% discounted option. This meant that during this financial year the charity was able to support 676 people with essential furniture and household items. This is an overall reduction on total number of people supported as the previous financial year saw 1,020 individuals supported. 

The charity decided to purchase a new van from financial reserves to ensure the service continued with trustworthy vehicles on the road. 

## **St Paul's Foodbank** 

As the cost-of-living crisis continued, so too did the need for emergency food provision. The financial year 2023-2024 saw an increase of the number of households referred to the charity's foodbank with 1,462 referrals compared with  1,433 of the previous financial year. 

Encouragingly whilst the need for emergency food provision increased during this year, so too in general terms did financial support of the foodbank. In the previous financial year, the charity saw an income of £24,000 that came in  from local businesses (such as Enterprise), faith groups and individuals, whereas this financial year saw donations totalling just under £31,000.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Futures** 

This significant work continues to make profound changes in the lives of the Young Adults who access it. They continue to be integrated into the work of the whole charity creating a sense of meaningful activity where they feel the value of making their contribution to others as well as having a broad programme of bespoke activities. The income from this service has remained steady during this financial year. 

## **SALS Shoes** 

This very small but incredibly impacting project saw 481 children receiving shoes free of charge, removing the need  for them to rely solely on "hand-downs" from friends and family members, thus restoring a sense of dignity to the parents. This total number was up on the previous financial year where 351 children were supported. 

## **Extra Miles Hospital Discharge** 

This service has been active for a few years and continued in the period to meet the essential needs of isolated patients as they transitioned back home after being in hospital for a period of time. 

Patients with little support can find this transition very challenging with the result being an increase in readmission numbers. 

During this financial year Extra Miles saw a total of approximately 340 referrals come through which was an increase from approximately 132 referrals of the previous year. 

## **Café on the Corner** 

Despite all the positives that the café brings to the premises and to the charity as a whole, it became very clear that, much like other catering businesses, the café was struggling. 

The trustees decided that keeping the café open 5 days a week was unsustainable so decided to reduce its opening hours to just Thursdays and Fridays. It seemed that this was the best next step to keep things more financial stable without completely losing the benefit of the café at the centre. 

## **Resurrection Cycles** 

This service represents an activity that has been present since the inception of the Charity in the mid-eighties. It has  two main functions. 

1. Provide a programme for people with low mental health problems, isolation, or addiction issues. As they work on cycles soft skills are developed, s sense of community and belonging fostered. 

2. Work on Cycles making them ready to donate or sell mainly at low cost to the community. 

## **Other Services** 

## **Sunday lunches for the isolated** 

The Charity has continued to provide (free of charge) more than 80 meals per week to families in the area who pick up their children from the local primary school. This service is low cost and high impact. Families are provided with  chilled meals a piece of fruit and a sweet, with the plan being to offset some of the food and energy pressures families face  and allow the charity to make a small but important difference to people living near the centre in an area of multiple deprivation. The service is funded by the Town Council Grant fund. 

Every month the charity hosts a Sunday Lunch Club for local elderly residents facing social isolation. Each guest is provided a full Sunday Dinner free of charge but are welcome to make a small contribution if they wish. This service provides a real sense of 'treat' for beneficiaries reducing loneliness and increasing mental wellbeing.

## **Other Areas of work and impact** 

## **Volunteering** 

The charity continues to be supported by an incredible team of volunteers who are involved in almost all aspects of work at the centre. These team is coordinated in partnership between the various team leads at the centre and the centre's volunteer coordinator who sits under the line management of the service manager. 

## **Policy** 

The deputy CEO has been working through the charity's policy review procedure to ensure all policies and subsequent procedures are kept up to date, relevant and effective. 

Rhino Health and Safety have completed an assessment of the charity and provided an excellent result albeit with some minor amendments in procedure being recommended. 

## **Trading** 

The Charity has three main trading activities that provide an income and thus support the work of the charity, reducing dependency on contracts and grants which aren't always very predictable. 

The Friday Sale and the eBay platform work by using surplus furniture and goods that have been donated by the public but deemed as not needed for the charity's furniture provision to vulnerable households. 

St Paul's Centre has now signed up to Charity Suite which is a new POS system enabling a more sensible method of stock taking, logistics, selling and importantly enables the charity to capitalise on gift aid that comes from the sale of stock. 

## **Conclusion and looking forward** 

As the financial year closed, work began on the development of a delayed 3-5 year strategic plan as it was becoming very clear that St Paul's Centre was effectively at capacity as a working Centre and new approaches to growth and sustainability would be needed in the years ahead.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Donations** 

The charity received £78,306 of donations during the period most allocated for the Foodbank. This was a decrease of £15,236  compared to 2023. 

## **Grants** 

Grants to the value of £124,808 were secured from the Local Authority (School Meals, Sunday Lunches) 

## **Service Contracts** 

Emergency assistance -  £94,589 Futures - £68,342 

## **Income Generation** 

The Charity continued to Trade in the following areas: 

## **Friday Sales** 

This is a weekly three-hour sales window each Friday where approximately 200 members of the public can view and buy affordable furniture. In addition, there are occasional purchases throughout the week. This activity has grown to  £83,530 compared to £77,962 in the previous years. 

## **eBay Platform** 

St Paul's eBay platform continues to bring in a steady income for the charity. This online platform was first set up during lockdown and has continued to become an opportunity for the charity to sell higher value items that are donated by  the public, items that might struggle to bring in their due worth during the Friday Sale. 

During the financial year for 2023-2024 the centre's eBay shop brought in a revenue of £40,346. 

## **Bulky Waste** 

St Paul's continues to make a healthy surplus from this Contract with Cheshire East which involves the collection and disposal of redundant larger furniture and white goods from across Cheshire East. Turnover for the financial year of 2023-2024 was £91,986 which compares to a turnover of £87,987 for the previous year. 

## **Investment policy** 

The Trust Deed authorises the Trustees to make and hold investments with regard to the furtherance of the charity's objectives, at their discretion. 

## **Reserves policy** 

In addition to the funds already committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, the trustees have established a policy whereby an amount of £40,000 of unrestricted funds is held in a savings account to be used as an operational contingency. The decision to use this fund can only be taken at a board meeting. 

The level of reserves as at 31 March 2024 is £560,869.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. 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. 

## **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. In particular the charity's operational costs (wages, premises etc) have been apportioned between expenditure on raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful estimated economic life of that asset: 

|Fixtures, Fittings & Equipment|- 20% reducing balance|
|---|---|
|Motor Vehicles|- 20% reducing balance|
|Property Renovation|-   5% reducing balance|



## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from 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. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Value added tax** 

The charity is registered for VAT. Income and expenditure is shown net of VAT where applicable. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resource expended for which it was incurred.
