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 SUC￿ssful 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

Board Report
For the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued)
The addition of two key posts within Ihe senior leadership team has seen a significanl impacl. Amanda
Fields as Head of Care and Maria Halliwell as Head of HR have provided immediate value to Target and
their expertise is already evident.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to pul il into record our heartfelt thanks to the entire staff team for the
amazing professionalism and dedication they have shown Ihis year.
The Board and Senior Management Team have continued to work together to identity possible development
opportunities as well as any risks and threats ensuring Target continues to develop as an organisation.
I cannot end without thanking my fellow Board members who like our staff continue to rise to the challenge of
providing support and guidance to myself as Chair as well as the senior management and wider staff teams.
Karen Rick
Chair of Board

## Target Housing Limited (Limited by Guarantee) 

## Board Report 

## For the year ended 31 March 2024 (continued) 

## Structure, governance and management 

## Constitution of the charity 

Target Housing Limited is a company limited by guarantee (company number: 2787689) and is a registered charity (charity number: 1017481), working within its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It is a Registered Social Landlord with the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA registration No 4679) ~~.~~ 

## Board of Trustees 

The Board of Trustees is elected by the members of the company and one third of them retire by rotation every year. The present members of the Board of Trustees who are directors of the company for the purposes of company law are listed on page 1 ~~.~~ 

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. 

The number of Trustees was seven during the year ~~.~~ Target Housing considers itself very fortunate to have such a dedicated, skilled and motivated Board of Trustees. 

## Public benefit 

The trustees have complied with the duty in s.4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

## Target Housing Limited (Limited by Guarantee) 

## 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 ~~.~~

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.
A key indicator of liquidity and investment capacity. 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.

## Board Report 

## 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.

## Target Housing Limited (Limited by Guarantee) 

## Accounting policies 

## For the year ended 31 March 2024 

The Registered Provider is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 (registered number 2787689) and the Charities Act 2011 (registered number 1017481) and is a Registered Social Housing Provider (Home and Communities Agency number 4679) ~~.~~ The association constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102 ~~.~~ 

## Basis of accounting 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom financial reporting standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Statement of Recommended Practice for Social Housing Providers 2018 (SORP) and with the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019 ~~.~~ The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Companies Act 2006 ~~.~~ The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention ~~.~~ 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below ~~.~~ These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated ~~.~~ 

The company participates in the Social Housing Pension Scheme (SHPS) ~~.~~ This is a defined benefit multiemployer scheme ~~.~~ Historically insufficient information was produced by the scheme administrator to enable defined benefit accounting to be applied ~~.~~ Accordingly, the company accounted for the SHPS as a defined contribution scheme and recognised a liability for the present value of the company’s deficit funding agreement ~~.~~ However, in the prior year sufficient information was produced to enable the move to defined benefit accounting in accordance with FRS102 ~~.~~ 

## 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 annual report and accounts. 

## Incoming resources 

All incoming resources are included in the Income and Expenditure Account when the association is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

Rental turnover represents rental and service charges income receivable in the year. 

Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Income and Expenditure Account when receivable ~~.~~ Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the association, are recognised when the association becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

Investment income is included when receivable. 

Incoming resources from charitable activity are accounted for when earned. 

Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the association earns the right to consideration by its performance.

## Target Housing Limited (Limited by Guarantee) 

## Accounting policies (continued) 

## For the year ended 31 March 2024 

## Resources expended 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis whena liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is included as part of the expenditure to which it relates ~~.~~ 

## Operating leases 

Rentals payable under operating leases, where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership remains with the lessor, are charged to the Income and Expenditure Account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Tangible fixed assets (including social housing properties) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended such as the cost of acquiring land and buildings, developments costs, interest charges on loans during the development period and expenditure on improvements. Expenditure on improvements will only be capitalised when it results in incremental future benefits such as increasing rental income, reducing maintenance costs or resulting in a significant extension of the useful economic life of the property ~~.~~ 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows: 

Housing properties 2% straight line Motor vans 25% straight line Computer equipment 25% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line 

## Pension costs 

The association is part of a mult ~~i-~~ employer defined benefit plan for the benefit of its employees ~~.~~ A liability for the association’s obligations under the plan is recognised net of plan assets. The net change in the net defined benefit liability is recognised as the cost of the defined benefit plan during the period ~~.~~ Pension plan assets are measured at fair value and the defined benefit obligation is measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit method ~~.~~ 

## Restricted reserves 

Restricted reserves are those reserves which are only expendable in accordance with the wishes of the funder or regulatory body ~~.~~ Restricted reserves include funds raised in response to a specific appeal. Expenditure cannot be directly set against restricted reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account ~~.~~ A transfer from restricted reserves is then made as appropriate ~~.~~ 

## Taxation 

No taxation is payable by the Registered Provider, since it has charitable status its charitable activities are exempt from tax ~~.~~

value of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date minus the fair value of plan assels. Actuarial
gains and losses are charged or credited to other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise.

19. Defined benef it pension scheme
The Registered Provider participates in the Social Housing Pension Scheme, a multi-employer
scheme which provides benefits to some 500 non-associated employers. The scheme is a defined
benefit scheme in the UK. The pension plan is funded by the payment of contributions and assets of
the plan are held in a separately administered fund.
The scheme is subject to the funding legislation outlined in the Pensions Act 2004 which came into
force on 30 December 2005. This, together with documents issued by the Pensions Regulator and
Technical Actuarial Standards issued by the Financial Reporting Council. set out the framework for
funding defined benefit occupational pension schemes in the UK.
The scheme is classified as a'last-man standing arrangement.. Therefore the company is potentially
liable for other participaling employers. obligations if those employers are unable to meel their share
of the scheme deficit following withdrawal from the scheme. Participating employers are legally
required lo meet their share of the scheme deficit on an annuity purchase basis on withdrawal from
Ihe scheme.

as a result is as follows:
