## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011 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).
## **PUBLIC BENEFIT**
South Birmingham Young Homeless Project (The Project) was founded in 1991 in order to provide a range of services to the target group in an area where previously none had been available. It is an independent advice, information and resource centre located in Longbridge, South West Birmingham which is 8 miles outside Birmingham City Centre with good access by public transport. The Project seeks to provide an innovative and integrated approach to meeting the needs of socially excluded and isolated groups of people within the local community particularly young homeless people, young lone parents and families on low incomes. The Project continues to provide homeless prevention services alongside financial inclusion services which ensure that citizens are maximising income that they are entitled to through benefits and managing debts.
The Project is one of 7 Advice Quality Standard accredited organisations in Birmingham providing access to a wide range of quality assured advice, information and related support services. All advice and support is given free at the point of contact. The Project provides advice and case work relating to housing, welfare rights, debt and money advice and is the only charity to do so in the local area.
The Project adds value to existing and other initiatives, that are taking place in the area and supports increased equality of opportunity for individuals who encounter structural oppression and face social injustice when trying to access services.
It recognises that there are no easy solutions to overcoming the difficulties that many individuals face such as longterm unemployment, debt, barriers to educational achievement, poor housing, limited access to good quality advice and information services and the inevitable cycle of benefit dependency. The Project is concerned that the social exclusion many people experience is reinforced by placing them in environments which are de-motivating, isolating and provide limited, if any, access to the services they require.
The Project has a Board of Trustees and then the operational team consists of a Project Manager, Housing Manager, Financial Inclusion Manager, Office Coordinator, Welfare Benefits Advisor and Debt Advisor.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Risk Management**
The Project carries out an annual risk assessment to ensure that staff, people, and committee members are protected from harm and any detriment. Where appropriate staff, committee members, volunteers and student placements will have an enhanced DBS check to further minimise risk.
The Project conducts an annual risk assessment that seeks to clarify the level of known financial liability carried by the organisation, in order that other policy and organisation actions (including internal control procedures) may be instigated.
The risk assessment requires detailed examination of the organisation's financial liabilities in relation to:
- Property and leases
- Staff and redundancy costs
- Contract relations
- Insurable risks - Public liability, employer's liability, property contents, building and trustee liability, professional indemnity.
- Fraud
- Security of assets and financial data
Policies and procedures are reviewed annually, and any alterations are made if deemed necessary. The annual risk assessment is the responsibility of Manager, Chair, Treasurer and where appropriate by the organisation's Accountants.
## **Objectives and activities**
The organisation's objectives are to relieve the need of young persons who are homeless, in housing need, poverty, hardship or distress by providing advice, access to accommodation, education, training and employment opportunities, health and recreational resources and activities, and other means as is thought fit primarily in South Birmingham.
The Project provides a wide range of advice, information and support activities and services for young people who are homeless or in housing need and all resources are expended in pursuit of these aims. The Project also administers grants on behalf of individuals to alleviate poverty and distress.
## **Volunteers**
The Project is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers both at The Project and from the local communities, churches and schools who are involved in supporting the delivery of services.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Chairperson report**
As Chairperson, I would firstly like to extend my thanks to the team and Trustees at The Project for their unwavering commitment and dedication to our communities.
2022/2023 has brought several changes to The Project and despite this the impact of The Project has been significant in improving lives and alleviating poverty. In 2022, we were still experiencing and recovering from the impact of Covid including financially and in regard to community members being nervous to attend communitybased activities or face to face appointments and therefore continued to adapt services to meet individual needs. In 2022/23, new funding grants were sourced to diversify our funding streams. Grant funding included:
- Reaching communities (ending July 2023)
- Futureproof (subcontracted by NCP - Prevention and Communities – ending September 2023)
- Integrated Care Board (ending November 2023)
- B30 Foodbank (started December 2022)
- Shelter (gained March 2023)
- Warm Spaces (gained March 2023)
The Shelter funding allowed us to deliver homeless advice outreach in new geographical areas such as Erdington and Handsworth whilst other funding enabled our delivery to be focussed in the South of the city. Significant work has been undertaken to manage contracts, build relationships with commissioners and partners and to identify and apply for further grant funding.
In this year, we have:
- Worked with 1493 people
- 1292 people received advice and case work in regards to income maximisation
- 201 people received housing advice and case work relating to housing
- We achieved actual financial gains of £727,928.70 and had £37,004.77 debt written off for those that we work with
We worked in close partnership with Northfield Community Partnership (NCP) and continued the ongoing arrangement to lease the building space in Northfield with a view that this would make us further accessible to citizens being in a centrally located space. This also benefited the FutureProof contract held with NCP as we shared the same building space. The welfare benefits team continued to positively impact citizens through achieving high financial gains and increased access to grants for items such as clothing, uniforms, food, white goods etc. The Project supported the delivery of the Household Support Fund and also expanded the use of grants to Norton foundation, W.E.Dunn and others.
During the year, we have had a change to our team, the Debt advisor left The Project in October 2022 and there was a change in leadership at The Project. The existing Project Manager handed notice in July 2022 however remained working on behalf of the charity until November 2022. Recruitment took place to the leadership role of The Project and Caroline Berry was recruited to the role of Chief Executive with an official start date in March 2023.
In March 2023, we were due for the review of our Advice Quality Standard accreditation which was extremely successful. The Project moved from having 3 standards in advice and case work to having 6. The standards in advice and case work in young people, housing, welfare benefits, debt, older people, and people with disabilities. This is an incredible testimony to the team.
The Project gained a small amount of funding to open as a warm space supporting our Covid recovery aspirations to reopen the building to the community.
We are excited for the year ahead and believe that The Project will continue to deliver vital services in housing and welfare benefits advice to our communities.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **Statement of Trustees (management committee) responsibilities**
In accordance with applicable law and regulations the trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the organisation and of the surplus or deficit of the organisation for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- State that applicable accounting standards, in accordance with United Kingdom generally accepted accounting policies, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate that the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the organisation has appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. They are also responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the organisation and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Reporting Accountants**
A resolution proposing that CK Accounting Services be re-appointed as independent examiner of the charity will be put to the Annual General Meeting.

## **SOUTH BIRMINGHAM YOUNG HOMELESS PROJECT**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF SOUTH BIRMINGHAM YOUNG HOMELESS PROJECT**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of South Birmingham Young Homeless Project (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of 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 and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.
I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.
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 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

**SOUTH BIRMINGHAM YOUNG HOMELESS PROJECT**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The project is a charity (No. 1015436) and is governed by a trust deed approved by The Charity Commission.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Charities Act 2011, 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 have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.
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, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity.
## **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.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
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.

## **SOUTH BIRMINGHAM YOUNG HOMELESS PROJECT**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **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.
## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment 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 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
## **1.8 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.
## _**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.

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.9 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.
