PHOENIX COMMUNITY CARE LIMITED Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Purpose
a) The relief of those in need, hardship, or distress especially those that are vulnerable, young people, asylum seekers and refugees by the provision of supported housing for their benefit.
b) To advance in life and relieve the needs of young people by the operation of a foster care agency and by providing care and support for their benefit.
c) To advance the education of the public by delivering training and education for young people (between the ages of 14-19), asylum seekers and refugees who are not in education or employment.
d) The relief of poverty but not exclusively in Sri Lanka, Romania and Kenya by funding and providing support to orphanages, schools and to feeding programs that affect members of deprived communities; and by the provision of volunteers to further this work.
Supported Housing
We started our supported housing programme back in 2001. This service takes young vulnerable adults, the majority being 16yrs - 18yrs old and are refugees or asylum seekers. We provide semi-independent accommodation; help enrol them into college or training programmes and support their legal and medical needs. During their stay with us, their allocated keyworker will help them develop their independent living skills. A recognised qualification that all our service users can obtained while with us. During 2018 PCC registered with OCR (Oxford Cambridge Royal Society of Art) to be able to deliver courses in life skills, and to certificate them up to level 3. Also working with Met Police and ‘You Vs You’ in training courses / life skills.
We have always been in this financial year at high occupancy with a 98% capacity for the year of our 27 possible placements.
Foster Care Agency
Our foster care agency opened in 2005. We went from 20 households on April 1[st] 2022, to 19 households (also 2 respite carers) on March 31[st] 2023 with 1new families approved / 2 respite carers approved / 2 families left the agency in this period. Our occupancy is still high within the agency with 26 in placement (plus another 3 on ‘Staying Put’) on 31[st] March 2023, with 4 classed as long-term placements.
Monitoring continues to evolve to meet the needs of the service with CHARMS audits done monthly and always looking at ways of improving our monitoring.
1
We continue to aspire to sustainable growth at our current pace with a strong focus on the approval of a mature and diverse pool of foster carers that reflect the community that we occupy and the needs of the children we foster.
PCC also continue to pursue working in the Northeast of England but have struggled to grow since the first household joined in 2019. This is something we continue to investigate with a planned recruitment strategy for implementation during the next financial year.
Short Term Aims
During the next financial year, build up to 22 households that can accommodate 30 placements.
Long Term Aims
A long-term business goal would be to establish more of a presence in the North of England. Also we hope raise households in Clacton from 2 to at least 5 in next two years. We are promoting PCC nationally via our online presence and by attending regional promotional events, conferences, and festivals.
Continuous Professional Development
Foster Carers are expected to participate in a minimum amount of training and this is delivered by PCC’s team. Topics this year have included safeguarding, child development, communication, education and ACEs. This is delivered regularly through Zoom across the year as well as in person training being delivered annually to the carers.
All PCC staff undertake scheduled training through the Atlas system which gives us access to specific training topics that are relevant to our roles as employees as well as to our individual roles. For example, fire safety, health and safety, safeguarding and conflict management. In relation to our social work staff as part of their ongoing registration they need to maintain a level of CPD and this year it had to include peer reflection. The social workers in staff have been undertaking regular meetings to facilitate peer reflection and this has been evidenced and submitted, along with additional CPD.
Strategies
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit and to its supplementary public benefit guidance on grant making charity. We also seek the advice and guidance of parties we are affiliated to and registered with, such as NAFP & Foster Talk. We are also governed by OFSTED and our practice is closely scrutinised. We have obtained recognition from Investors in People and have held onto this award for 13 years.
We employ qualified personnel to facilitate the following roles within the organisation:
-
Key working
-
Administration & Accounts including DBS
-
Placements
-
Maintenance
-
Data control & IT
-
Social work - Foster care management & governance - Training OCR and CPD
-
Practice Educators / training and monitoring student social workers.
We offer student social workers 70- and 100-day placements to the University of Hertfordshire, Sussex University and Middlesex University using our service and practice educators. This is providing work experience and valuable training to those who seek to become effective and influential in the field of social work.
Measuring
Examining and measuring success seems improper when dealing with looked after children's lives and young people but for the purpose of this report we do the following: -
2
Foster Care: We monitor placement availability and referrals from local authorities by use of the CHARMS system. OFSTED carry out three-year inspections (last one was in 2022) and make recommendations of how we can improve our service.
Unaccompanied children (UAM's) - Supported Housing: We monitor the number of referrals being received as well as the ethnicity and country of origin of the service user. Our team meet monthly to review all cases and individual needs of service users. We also use CHARMS for all our record keeping. This part of our service will be governed / inspected by OFSTED in 2024.
Charity Income:
We have seen a steady and stable increase in the amount of regular donations being received into PCC. Various projects here and overseas are being supported. This information is compiled into a monthly report and reviewed by the Trustees. PCC is a specialist in handling finance for special projects in Romania, Kenya and Sri Lanka and other organisations have asked us to help them in the transfer of funds to their non-UK projects. We are particularly helping our partner charity in South London who regularly contribute to Rain Edge in Kenya, to Dare to Dream in Romania and to the Tumaini Project also in Kenya. We charge no admin fees for this service. We do incur bank charges. This we will keep under review by the trustees.
Friends of PCC: We occasionally have people wanting to donate to the local work we are doing with our unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. We also have individuals regularly sponsoring our work here in the UK and they are considered ‘Friends of PCC’.
Significant activities
To run all our programmes and the following, we have 17 staff members , facilitate 4 or 5 student social worker placements, & various volunteers. We have also added our first apprentice social worker to our team.
Phoenix Community Care actively promotes and raises funds for the work of the following projects as well as our own projects here in the UK.
All being successful we are supporting work in:
-
Rainedge International, Nakuru, Kenya.
-
Paalam Project, Wattala, Sri Lanka
-
Dare to Dream, Romania
Grantmaking
We collect regular donations from individuals for the work in Kenya and pass these on to the various projects.
In March 2023 we were awarded a grant worth £38,760.25 from an organisation called Beyond Sport. This is to deliver to 40 young people, mindfulness workshops, mental health self-care and NFL training. We have until March 2024 to complete the contract and we will partner with You vs You to do this.
We receive small grants for facilitating student social work placements and for helping new social work graduates complete their AYSE.
Public benefit
We provide services to support some of the most vulnerable people within our community. Looked after children, asylum seekers and refugees need consistent support, reliable advocacy and to have a voice. Our provision helps bring stability and make a difference to those in need. It also seeks to educate everyone to understand the complex needs that the most vulnerable have. Our services have been effective in helping to reduce homelessness, youth offending, teenage pregnancy, loneliness and improve mental health. It helps encourage a greater understanding of cultural diversity thus reducing fear and misunderstanding. We want our local community to grow peacefully, addressing the needs of those less fortunate and be a place of safety and empathy.
3
Social investments
We continue to put investment into Football United working with various charities to bring weekly training and activities for young refugees/asylum seekers. A project initially funded through Model City London.
Volunteers
Unfortunately, we did have any volunteers this financial year.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance Charitable activities
Foster Care – Less Carers but more placements. Provided different methods of support to our carers helping them to keep children safe.
UASC Supported Housing – Even higher occupancy and even more training activities (using ‘You Vs You and the Met Police).
Charity - managed to secure a substantial number of sponsors for Sure 24, Nakuru, Kenya, a project which funds children’s care and educational needs. We continued our ‘sponsor a child’ scheme with a Norwegian charity.
Financial review
Financial position.
Our overarching financial income is generated through the services we provide through our supported housing and our fostering agency as these services are paid for at time of referral. Our income this year was £1,749,684.00 which is a 11.62% increase on last year. Our contracts with the placing authorities are open ended as they are based on spot purchasing. Out of these funds we are endeavouring to build up a reserve large enough to cover the business activities for a further three months should any disaster occur. None of our current activities make a loss.
The charity receives various donations that are used for the projects they have been designated to. In the past year the total donations have been £159,716.00.
We have various policies in place explaining financial procedures and accountability. Our payroll and pension liabilities are calculated for us by JMH Partnership.
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined Phoenix Community Care Charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation and has determined that a reserve of three months expenditure be held. The present level of reserve available to the Charity is £186,423.00 and PCC are looking to increase this over the next 12 months.

Mrs P Hawkes - Trustee
Trustees Responsibility Statement for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
The trustees (who are also the directors of PHOENIX COMMUNITY CARE LIMITED for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
