Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2025

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025. 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.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE Background

The Charity had another year of successful activities across all services. It came out of the period with a deficit of £3,847 set against a predicted deficit of £58,435.

The Board of Trustees remained constant with four trustees.

In December 2024 Richard Holmes resigned his position as CEO, Richard has worked tirelessly for the charity for many years and will be missed. Our Deputy CEO, Jez Chalmers, stepped up into the position of CEO for a probationary period of six months. Jex has been with the charity for 3 years and we look forward to the future under his leadership.

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.

This year provided another busy year for the charity, again we faced challenges with funding our Emergency Referral Furniture Scheme, this was however resolved during the year and this enabled us to reduce our deficit significantly.

Services in Brief

Furniture Project

The furniture project continued to have a significant impact in the local community with 225 household referrals via the Emergency Assistance program. This was down from 316 in the previous year but this was mainly due to a gap in LA funding at the start of the year. There was a reduction in the number of referrals using our 30% discounted option this was due to the Emergency Assistance Program being more inclusive.

St Paul's Foodbank

As the cost-of-living crisis continued, so too did the need for emergency food provision. The financial year 2024-2025 saw an decrease of the number of people referred to the charity's foodbank with 2,786 referrals compared with 3,197 of the previous financial year. Additional support came via the household support fund who provided food vouchers.

Support for our Foodbank has continued to be generous. For the year 2024/25 we received 25825 kg's of donated food, this was a slight drop on 2023/824 of 28131 kg's. Again we saw generous financial donations from businesses as well as individuals for our Foodbank, these totalled £22,646.

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 rose by 8% during this financial year.

SALS Shoes

This very small but incredibly impacting project saw 374 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 down on the previous financial year.

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.

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 despite the reduced opening hours was no longer viable so the café as it is closed on 31 March 2025. The charity has great plans for the space which will be in line with our charitable objectives.

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.

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.
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 100 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 providesa 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. The volunteers are 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's trading activities 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 2025

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial position Donations

The charity received £69,725 of donations during the period most allocated for the Foodbank. This was a decrease of £78,306 compared to 2024.

Grants Grants to the value of £158,610 were secured from the Local Authority (School Meals, Sunday Lunches)

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 £122,553 compared to £83,350 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 2024-2025 the centre's eBay shop brought in a revenue of £33,174.

Bulky Waste

St Paul's continues to make a 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 2024-2025 was £108,250 which compares to a turnover of £91,9876 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 2025 is £557,022.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of St Paul's Centre

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of St Paul's Centre I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of St Paul's Centre (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

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:

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

----- End of picture text -----

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.
