-
1 The relief of persons who are in conditions of need hardship or distress or who are sick in particular to aid and assist persons suffering from addiction or compulsion to be freed from such addiction or compulsion particularly from drugs or alcohol, in particular but not exclusively by demonstrating active Christian faith (doctrinally stated by the Evangelical Alliance) through countless acts of kindness.

The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus on:
-
x providing high quality residential care for women with serious drug and alcohol SUREOHPV�LQ�D�ZD\�WKDW�SURPRWHV�HDFK�ZRPDQ¶V�UHFRYHU\�
-
x providing a resettlement service for women completing their stay at Hebron House and relocating those who wish to resettle into the Norwich community. Notably, we co�operate with Norwich Central Baptist Church in this�
-
x supporting ex�residents who have settled in the Norwich community�
-
x supporting ex�residents who settle elsewhere.
Our residential service users come from across the UK and are usually funded by Social Services and Primary Care Trusts in the areas from which they come. A small proportion of service users are self�funded. The service is available only to women aged 18 and over irrespective of race, religion, faith and sexual orientation� our building imposes constraints on our ability to accommodate some kinds of disability, and we operate only in the English language.
Resettlement is a key part of our residential care programme provided to all residents and this aftercare support is funded primarily through charitable donations.

2 Risk Management in practice � The Covid�19 Pandemic
The Trustees closed Hebron House on 27 March 2020 and residents returned after Lockdown 1 in late July 2020. LDVW�\HDU¶V�UHSRUW covered the Trustees¶�UHVSRQVH�WR�WKH�ILUVW�VL[�PRQWKV� of the pandemic, the way decisions were taken and implemented, and the reaction of our residents, staff team, and customers.
This section of the 2021 UHSRUW�FRYHUV�WKH�7UXVW¶V�UHVSRQVH�WR�WKH�SDQGHPLF between mid� September 2020 and mid�September 2021.
Hebron House has operated continuously as a residential therapeutic community since the first residents returned on 27 July 2020. The Roadmap the management team developed before reopening has formed the foundation of our risk management since then. There have been occasions when a member of staff has tested positive for Covid�19, and it is a tribute to the soundness of the Roadmap and the way it was implemented that none of the residents or other members of the staff team contracted Covid.
Our risk management practices have to date been equally effective at Chapel House, our move�on accommodation. The women living there are independent, and have followed our guidance as well as WKH�JRYHUQPHQW�DQG�&4&¶V, and avoided infection.
The Trustees monitor the risk landscape at each meeting, and include the latest Covid�19 data in their review.

3 Why we do what we do
The need ± D�VHUYLFH�XVHU¶V�SHUVSHFWLYH
How some current residents saw the need for the services Hebron Trust provides
[I needed effective rehab] not merely because I was so unhappy, drinking, frightened, alone, in debt, suffering, selfish and lost � but because I would be dead. [Before I chose rehab] everyday was an endurance test between myself and addiction and every day I lost. I lost the moment I awoke and hated myself for waking and that the pain was unbearable. >,�KRSHG�DIWHU�UHKDE�,�ZRXOG�EH�GLIIHUHQW«@�I now have hope which is incredible and a guide for living that is moral, sober and truthful. A faith that brings me inner peace and a desire to share this recovery with others.
The need � the substance misuse context
The data in this section is based on the Home Office Drugs Misuse report .[1] Covid�19 has delayed publication of the annual substance misuse data. At writing, no overall figures are available for 2020�2021 (These are published after September). Please see our 2018/19 report for a fuller discussion of the prevalence and damage of alcohol abuse among women.
Home Office estimates are that one in eleven adults[2] (3.2 million people, 9.4%) used an illegal drug in 2019�20, unchanged from 2018�19. The proportion of these using class A drugs (a third) has remained statistically similar over the past few years.
Amongst 16�24 year olds, the proportion is 21% (2019�20: 20.3%� 2018�19: 19.8%), which is approximately 1.3 million people. Of these, a third used class A drugs.
Cannabis remains the most common drug used. The report states ³There were no changes in last�year drug use for the majority of individual drug types including cannabis, ecstasy, powder cocaine, new psychoactive substances and nitrous oxide.´�7KHre was less use of amphetamines and the frequent use of cocaine powder fell.
The ONS report makes few references to the impact of the pandemic on drug misuse. It observes a correlation between nightclub visits and drug use, particularly powder cocaine and

more frequent users than social renters or homeowners.
The ONS is clear that drug use was higher amongst those who consume alcohol more
cocaine usage is highest amongst households with incomes over £52,000.

Matthew Project suggested in September 2020 that the pandemic was driving increased problem drinking.
How our work delivers public benefit ± and how we ensure it delivers our aims
The fundamental benefit to the public arises
continuing abstinence, as shown in Table 1.
In 2018 Public Health England estimated that every £1 spent on treating drug and alcohol addiction has a social return of £4 (drug treatment) and £3 (alcohol treatment) on costs to society[3] .
Hebron Trust believes this to be a very prudent estimate. Our high success rate (measuring completion, continued postresidential support, sustainable abstinence and taking a full part in society) suggests a £15+ return for each £1 spent might be a low figure for our work: an estimate consistent with the PHE ten year figure of between £21 and £26.
Public Health England classes successful completion as x no longer requiring structured treatment x abstinent x not dependent on other substances Hebron extends this to include
x support and/or involved in a 12-step group x taking a full part in society (volunteering or paid employment, for example)
The 2017-18 England rate for alcohol only treatment was 61%.
successful completion rate is significantly 2017-18 was 48%. above the national average and partly because Hebron Trust is a not-for-profit England figures charitable operation, committed to the 2018” published 1 highest possible quality outcomes consistent with the funds it can generate. Our governance arrangements are designed to sustain this performance.

4 Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Hebron Trust is a charitable company limited by guarantee, registered as a charity and incorporated in 1993, primarily to provide care and treatment to people who have life threatening drug or alcohol dependency. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Management
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and XQGHU�WKH�FRPSDQ\¶V�$UWLFOHV�DUH�NQRZQ�DV�PHPEHUV�RI�WKH�%RDUG�RI�0DQDJHPHQW��8QGHU�WKH� requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, at the Annual General Meeting, one third of the members of the Board who have been longest in office since their last election shall retire from office. Retiring members are eligible for re�election.
Every two years, the Board carries out a strategic review and planning exercise, which includes an audit of the skills mix of the Board. This knowledge/skills matrix has been used to inform our Trustee recruitment and maintain an appropriate spectrum of Trustee skills and specialist expertise.
Hebron Trust is founded upon and operates from a Christian ethos. All the trustees are Christians who come from a variety of backgrounds and church traditions and see their involvement as a practical expression of their faith. The Trust does not promote or represent any one church or denomination and works with people irrespective of their backgrounds or beliefs. Non�Christians are welcome as Trustees.
Trustee Identification, Induction and Training
The Board is always open to further recruitment to broaden its skills and diversity. The Board LV�FRQVFLRXV�RI�WKH�ULVN�RI�7UXVWHH�VWDOHQHVV�DQG�RI�WKH�YDOXH�RI�IUHVK�WKLQNLQJ��7KH�7UXVW¶V� governing documents set no limit on the number of Trustees.
The Board and the Chief Executive identify potential new recruits, who are approached personally. The candidate learns more about the work of the Trust through an initial discussion, usually with a Trustee or the Chief Executive, and a tour of Hebron House.
Prospective Trustees are provided with a pack of the following documents:
-
x Memorandum and Articles of Association
-
x Latest Audited Accounts and Management Accounts
-
x Copies of recent Board Meeting Minutes
-
x &KDULW\�&RPPLVVLRQ¶V�JXLGH�µ7KH�(VVHQWLDO�7UXVWHH¶
-
x &KDULW\�&RPPLVVLRQ¶V�JXLGH�µ5HVSRQVLELOLWLHV�RI�&KDULW\�7UXVWHHV��$�6XPPDU\¶
-
x Hebron Trust Information Packs, which include a Trustee Code of Conduct and the 7UXVW¶V�%ULEHU\�DQG�&RUUXSWLRQ�SROLF\
Candidates are invited to attend Board meetings to meet the other Trustees and help familiarise themselves more with the work and culture of the Trust as the basis for an informed decision.
Each Trustee signs documents confirming their understanding of their responsibilities and their agreement to abide by the Code of Conduct.

Trustees are encouraged to attend local Trustee training provided by Voluntary Norfolk and other organisations.
Payment to Trustees
The Trustees received no payment of any sort during the year.
| Payments made to Trustees | 2021 FY | 2020 FY |
|---|---|---|
| Expenses | £0 | £0 |
| Other payments | £0 | £0 |
Management
The Trustees met seven times as the Management Committee, with the senior managers joining the discussion, and once as a Trustee�only Board.
Emma Pawsey is CEO of Hebron Trust. Emma leads the staff team, and has regular 1:1 meetings with the chairman. She is supported by two Deputy Managers, Alex and Sophie. These three take it in turns to join the Management Committee.
5 Risk Management
Every Management Committee opens with a report on Health and Safety incidents, Safeguarding, and Complaints and/or Compliments.
The major risks to which the charity is exposed, as identified by the trustees, are reviewed at each Board meeting. Systems and processes, with appropriate review intervals, are in place to manage those risks. The Board maintains a risk register� this is reviewed and updated at each Management Committee meeting in an annual rolling programme.
Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of financial transactions. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, residents and visitors to the House.
The continuing implementation of the relevant set of Essential Care Standards under the jurisdiction of the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the adoption of QuADS (Quality in Alcohol and Drug Services) underpin the approach to quality for operational aspects of the charity. Statutory agencies and valuative systems help us ensure that we stay focussed on providing high quality services and utilise our resources efficiently.

7 Achievements and Performance
The main activity of the Trust continued to be residential treatment and care for women with serious drug and alcohol problems. Hebron House accommodates up to 10 women.
The number of ex�Hebron residents settling in Norwich has now reached 53 (up from 47 in 2018). The support group for them continued throughout the reporting period. Ex�residents continue to help new residents on their recovery journey and influence the development of service user involvement groups in related agencies.
The unique approach to our programme of recovery at Hebron House has allowed us to remain an attractive option for referring agencies.
Our achievement of successful outcomes for our residents is evidenced by:
-
x our 80% completion rate, 80%, firmly in the top quartile for UK rehabs.
-
x our access to housing services and
-
x our service in aftercare which enables our clients to move successfully into education or voluntary or paid employment.

Early in 2021, the Trustees committed to paying everyone who works for HT at least the Living :DJH�)RXQGDWLRQ¶V�³5HDO�/LYLQJ�:DJH´��At writing, this is £9.50/hour outside London[4] . The UK Government minimum wage at writing is £8.91.
8 Bursary Scheme
The Trust has developed a Bursary Scheme to assist those who need the services HT offers and who have difficulty securing the necessary funding. The Trustees and Staff Team worked together to develop the rules of the Scheme, and are grateful to all who contribute to fund the scheme.
In the period September 2018 to September 2019, the Scheme assisted three women. In the twelve months to September 2020, which included over four months of lockdown, three women benefited from the Scheme.
9 Volunteers
We continue to benefit from the excellent support of committed volunteers in a wide variety of roles including administration, support to the therapeutic care team, and as members of the Board of Management.

The average number of volunteers, including the Board, is 15 In 2019�20 this was 14.
The Trustees thank each volunteer for their contribution.
Volunteers contribute in a number of different ways. These include providing general evening support, weekend outings, DIY, leisure and recreation, sports (including sailing), art group, fitness group, music group, transport to external meetings, help with lunch preparation, appointments, optional exploring spirituality workshops, providing speakers for recovery groups, NA and AA, help with web site design.
10 Financial Review
The climate continues to be difficult for the Residential Rehabilitation sector, and providers continued to go out of business.
The trading environment remained the same until lockdown (and looks likely to resume after):
-
x the level of substance abuse in society and amongst women increased again. Although ³OHJDO�KLJKV´�tailed off, ³FRXQW\�OLQHV´ continued to spread�
-
x budgets available to place women (and men) in rehab fell�
-
x the costs of compliance and service delivery increased (although we received grants towards the costs of PPE).

11 Plans for the coming year
We will continue to provide residential care for women, and continue to support those who have left us to live in Norwich. Chapel House will continue to be a key part of our work with women choosing to stay in Norwich when they leave Hebron. We will continue to work on building links with women returning from other rehabs to live in Norwich.
We will continue to develop our remote therapy approach. We believe we can develop marketable processes and assets based on our experience during lockdown. As Public Health England, Government, Clinical Commissioning Groups and Local Authorities continue to evolve service delivery models, we will build innovative ways of helping women recover from addiction, and work with a variety of partners to do this.
Although the Trust has overcome previous financial challenges, the commissioners of our services face greater demands. Greater general life expectancy, a rising population driving KLJKHU�GHPDQG��PRUH�H[SHQVLYH�WUHDWPHQWV��DQG�SROLWLFDO�SUHVVXUH�IRU�³TXLFNHU�IL[HV´�DOO� undermine the willingness to fund residential care irrespective of its greater effectiveness.
The Trustees will actively discharge their responsibility to ensure the business remains a going concern through diligent and regular cash flow reviews and stringent cost control.

-
d) continue to develop and operate our bursary scheme, particularly those for complex diagnosis cases�
-
e) secure a detox capability. This could be achieved through co�operation with another provider�
-
f) explore how we might exploit our Intellectual Property and capabilities in non� residential rehab opportunities. We will build on our lockdown experiences to do this�
-
g) publicise the work of the Trust amongst the local Christian community. A social media campaign was rolled�out in pilot form in late 2019. Lockdown prevented this development, and it will be resumed this year. Some similar rehabs receive more significant financial support from local church networks than does HT: this is something we aim to redress�
-
h) reduce its environmental impact. In 2021�22 we will be considering all +7¶V�sourcing activity with these dimensions:
-
x need and availability of alternatives
-
x packaging, end of use / disposal: volume� recyclability, environmental impact of disposal
-
x water and carbon used in getting the product to HT and disposing of it.
-
i) Develop a plan for becoming Carbon Neutral by 2030. This will include a focus for each year, like Transport, Energy, Sourcing (2021�22).

HEBRON TRUST
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. General information
The company is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the gurantee is limited to £1 per member of the company. The address of the registered office is Hebron House, 10-12 Stanley Avenue, Thorpe Hamlet, Norwich, NR7 0BE.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Hebron Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. It is very likely that new or different operational requirements will appear over the coming 12 months as a result of COVID-19 but these changes are not anticipated to threaten the Trust as a going concern. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
2.4 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 allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure (continued)
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Fixtures and fittings - 25%
2.6 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
2.7 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.8 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
2.9 Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Company for particular purposes.

In February 2013 (subsequently amplifed) a partner of a firm of large local estate agents, with 10 years experience, considered a figure of £750,000 was reasonable as an open market valuation of the freehold property in its present condition. The Trustees consider that this valuation has not changed significantly and is still appropriate.
The residual value of the building at the end of its useful life, taken as 50 years hence, is not expected to be substantially less than the value reflected in the accounts at the year end. Therefore depreciation, taken as 2% of any such reduction, has not been provided for this year as it would not be material.
