Target Housing Limited (Limited by Guarantee) Board Report For the year ended 31 March 2024 The Board of Truslees presents their report, which incorporates the strategic report, together with the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 and confirm that these financial statements comply wilh current statutory requirements and wilh those of the governing instrument. Chair's introduction Annual Re ort 2023- 2024 I began my last report by suggesting it had been a year of change with key personnel moving on to retirement or stepping down from the Board. 2023124 has seen further change in this area. Two Board members have stood down and I would like to thank Fran and Hannah for their valued contribution to Target, the effect of which has helped Target to achieve the position it is in today. Four new Board members have also joined, bringing with them a range of valuable expertise in a variety of backgrounds. With our newer Board members, it was therefore timely and welcomed that we arranged a professionally facilitated away day to reevaluate and cement the organisation we strive to be; Agile, Innovative, Resilient and People Focussed. This was highlighted at a March staff conference, held to underline and provide clarity to all staff on where we are, where we want to go and the challenges we need to overcome to get Ihere. Our new CEO has hit the ground running and we have seen a flurry of acttvity. not only in successful tenders and new business but also in re-shaping of some departments. The financial challenges of the cost-of-living crisis continues to have an impact. Despite this we proudly remain a Joseph Rowntree Living Wage accredited employer. The Board, and l as Chair, are particularly keen to ensure we reward our statt as well as possible. A salary benchmarking paper from the CEO will lead to the Board awarding a pay rise significantly above inflation for all staff for 2024125. Our partnerships with Social And Sustainable Capital (SASC} and Charity Bank remain strong and are very much part of our long term strategy. Wilh the continued support and understanding of these two organisations, together with a talented and dedicated property procurement team the Target Housing property portfolio stood at 127 in March 2024. Doncaster Local Authority asked Target to be part of their Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme ISHAP} bid; the bid wwth Doncaster was SUCssful wilh Target gelling 45 % grant funding via Homes England, to purchase 18 properties to house rough sleepers in Doncaster. In Sheffield a similar bid was submitted for 10 properties and was also successful, however Target will also receive the revenue funding for the provision of support. Both projecls are initially for 3 years. A successful tender in Barnsley has resulled in the capital funding for four properties, specifically for those people affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence. Additional strong bids saw Target; Retain our existing project in Sheffield for a further 5 years. Partner with IDAS in a successful bid to Doncaster council for 25 properties. Win a five year contract for a 30 bed hostel with Rotherham local authority Receive grant funding for a Cosl-of-Living Crisis advisor for 3 years Receive 700/. funding through Skills Bank to aid the bespoke training and coaching of our staff. Receive a 12K activities grant from SYHA

It is a Registered Social Landlord with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA registration No 4679) ~~.~~
Board of Trustees

New Trustees are recruited via the existing Board of Trustees and by advertising appropriately, e ~~.~~ g ~~.~~
Sheffield’s Voluntary Action Newsletter and Sheffield Volunteer Bureau. Potential new Trustees are invited to attend one or more Board of Trustees meetings as an observer, before they confirm a commitment to becoming a Trustee. Appointment of new Trustees is confirmed by the members annually at the AGM ~~.~~
Trustees bring a range of skills and expertise to their role ~~.~~ There is an induction process for new Trustees which includes the specific work of Target Housing, how it functions and is managed, and its values, ethos and objectives ~~.~~ This process begins with the Chair and is followed through by the CEO, each in turn ensuring
that there is an understanding of the work of the organisation and the new Trustee’s role in the governance
of Target Housing, and ensuring the delivery of its stated aims and objectives.
New Trustees will have the opportunity to meet with staff and to clarify their roles and responsibilities. They can request to see our accommodation and meet with service users. All Trustees provide information about their background, skills, experience and expertise ~~.~~ A Trustee Handbook is provided and the Board undertake periodic Training opportunities singly and together ~~.~~
Organisational Structure
In addition to its financial accounting responsibilities as outlined on page 12, the Board of Trustees takes decisions alongside its CEO about staff conduct ~~.~~ Decisions around the development of new projects, budgetary considerations such as the purchase of one off items of capital expenditure and the appointment of Board of Trustees also fall within its duties ~~.~~ Organisational policies are validated by the Board ~~.~~ Strategic steer is also provided by the Board of Trustees ~~.~~ The responsibility for overall daily operational decision making, including policy and procedural adherence and wider strategic involvement is devolved to the CEO.

Board Report
For the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Structure, governance and management (Continued)
Risk management
The major risks to which Target is subject are recorded in a Risk Register, which also records the systems and controls established to mitigate against those risks ~~.~~ The Register is reviewed regularly by senior management and Trustees ~~.~~
The principal risks are related to the health and safety of both service users and employees, given the challenging character of service users as a group ~~.~~ Appropriate safeguards are in place to minimise these risks as far as possible.
The second major area of risk is a loss of income arising from the failure to retain contracts when retendering, to win new contracts when tendering and from changes to social services funding for service users in relation to accommodation provision. Again, processes are in place to anticipate and respond as necessary to such events ~~.~~
Pension Liabilities
Target’s pension scheme arrangements are detailed in Note 19 to the financial statements. Its share of the deficit is recorded as a long ~~-~~ term liability in the Balance Sheet ~~.~~ This is a very long ~~-~~ term liability only payable over a period of many years. The annual contributions payable to the scheme in relation to both current
service and the deficit are allowed for in each year’s financial projections. These demonstrate that the charity is able to fund the ongoing contribution commitments as they arise.
The trustees also record that, after allowing for the long ~~-~~ term liability, there is still an adequate level of reserves to facilitate ongoing operations ~~.~~
Going Concern
After due consideration of all relevant factors, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future ~~.~~ Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
In forming this view, The Trustees have taken into account recent and projected financial performance, the level of reserves and the amount of cash balances held ~~.~~ These provide sufficient assurance that the charity is a going concern ~~.~~

Albania and Pakistan Maintenance Team Processed 11021 repair orders Completed 10409 maintenance jobs 1538 maintenance jobs were completed by either landlords or contractors Value for Money The Regulator of Social Housing requires the Association, in common with all private registered providers of social housing, to publish evidence within its annual report to facilitate an understanding of its performance against certain key metrics set out by the Regulator, as follows= 1. Reinvestment: 21.90A {2023: 21.10A) Measures investment in properties (existing stock as well as new supply) as a percentage of the value of tolal properties held. 2a. New supply delivered [social housing]: 12.6•A (2023: 17.0%) 2b. New supply delivered [non-social housing]: NIL•A {2023: NIL•A) Sets out the number of new social housing and non-social housing units that have been acquired or developed in the year as a proporlion of tolal social housing unils and non-social housing units owned at year end. 3. Gearing: 76.O•A {2023: 73.70A) Measures how much of the adjusted assets are made up of debt and the degree of dependence on debl finance. It is often a key indicator of a registered provider's appetite for growth. The Association's gearing percentage arises from its significant cash balances- these are actively managed lo optimise returns consistent with its twin priorities of capital preservation and ensuring sufficient liquidity is available to meet operational requirements. 4. EBITDA MRI interesl cover: 268.3 /0 {2023: 541.4"A) Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisation, major repairs included (EBITDA MRI) interest cover.

Measures the level of surplus that a registered provider generates compared to interest payable, but in a way that avoids distortions stemming from the depreciation charge. 5. Headline social housing cost per unit: £1.206 (2023: £913) Self-explanatory unit cost metric- the Association has calculated this metric based on 986 {2023= 940) social housing units owned andlor managed at year end. 6a. Operating margin (social housing only): 0.5% (20Z3: 0.7%) 6b. Operating margin (overall): 0.50A (2023: 0.vA) Measures the profitability of operaling assels before exceptional items are taken into account. The Association specialises in providing supported housing, which means its margin will lend to be lower than average. 7. Relurn on capital employed: 0.6% (2023: 0.99A) This metric compares the operating surplus lo total assets less current liabilities, a measure commonly employed in the commercial sector lo assess Ihe efficient investment of capilal resources.

For the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
Financial review
The Chair’s Introduction and the General Statements on Objectives and Activities and Performance set the context for this review of the results for the financial year 2023 ~~-2~~ 4.
Income and charitable expenditure have again increased significantly as we have continued to grow our core activities. Income has increased by 10 ~~.~~ 5% and expenditure by 10.8%. For 31 March 2024 interest payable and similar charges totalled £261,399 representing a 115% increase compared to 31 March 2023. As in recent years, the income increase results principally from continuing growth in the levels of activity on most contracts ~~.~~ Expenditure increases mirror increased activity levels ~~.~~ These are principally staffing (the average number increased by 5 in the year) and property (with 15 acquisitions in the year in addition to the 19 in the previous year, as well as increased numbers of rental properties) related costs. In addition, these continuing property acquisitions and utilising mortgage finance, impact on both our interest payments and depreciation charges.
Whilst Target is a not ~~-f~~ or ~~-p~~ rofit entity, generating surpluses enables us to sustain and enhance the services provided to our service users, by investing in properties and people, and to cover our substantial loan repayment commitments ~~.~~
The year ~~-~~ end financial position as shown in the Balance Sheet remains healthy, and whilst free reserves are below our target at the year end, the shortfall is due to timing which is remedied post year end ~~.~~ One important factor behind the reduction is our continuing acquisition of properties. Most of the property acquisitions are financed by mortgage borrowings but we do have to utilise part of our cash resources as well. At the 31 March 2024 our cash at bank had increased by £316,985 to £1,075,301 compared to £758,316 as at 31 March 2023 ~~.~~ Our mortgage borrowings have increased significantly as we continued the major programme of property acquisitions utilising mortgage finance facilities with Charity Bank and with SASC, the specialist provider of funding to the not ~~-f~~ or ~~-p~~ rofit sector ~~.~~ This has enabled us to maintain our property acquisition programme in certain geographical areas and respond to increasing demand for our services to the most vulnerable in our society ~~.~~
The year under review as not been without its challenges, the cost of living crisis and high inflation have contributed to a negative financial outturn for the year to 31 March 2024 ~~.~~ Continued challenges including the on ~~-~~ going requirement to re ~~-~~ tender for the contract services we provide require our management team to explore and pursue the generation of income from other diversified sources that complement our existing services to our vulnerable client groups.
