Sl Paul's Hostel - Annual Report and Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2024
Chair's Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
This year, our 47th year, has flown by a5 we continue our mission of helping people tive through homelessness.
We have and continue to work with mainly slngle adults who experience a multitude of challenges.
The Hostel has remained fulL often with a long wailing list. It is difficult to have lo turn people away.
We had the opening of the front garden In memory of one of our founding Irustees, Robin Sykes. Thank you
to everyone that attended the opening.
We continued lo deliver a county wlde Housing First seNice working with a cohort of people with complex
needs. Our ongoing analysis shows thal Housing Fir51 works.
The outlook into 2024 and beyond looks challenging. wilh fundraising becoming more competitive combined
with a general downlurn In people making donations, The support of charitable funds and organisation5 such
as the National Lottery, remain very important.
Central Government funding, especially around Housing First. remains unclear. Funding for Housing First after
March 2025 is yel to be approved or indeed may not carry on.
The team at St Paul's remain dedicated and hard working in what is sometimes a strèssful environmenL
A big thank you lo my fellow Trustees for their work and also a Ihank you to everyone that supports Sl Paul's.
Fundraising
Although we have been successful in secuilng some multi.year funding. the fundraising Landscape is a
challengin9 one, We see the impact of the current economic climate. The number of donor5 and the amounts
being donated has redvced and the number of fundraising activities done on our behalf have decreased as
has the income generated from such events.
That said. we wwe humbled by the response for our Christmas Campaign. For people experlencing
homelessness, Chri51mas for most, is not the joyous, family filled occasion often seen depicted in adverts.
Chrislmas can be the most challenging and lonetiest lime of the year.11 can also be a trigger of past trauma.
Through the generosity of the community, we were able to provide every resident with a gift box and loiletry
hamper, themed supper evenings Ihroughout Oecember building social interaction and tNsted relalion5hips,
a hearty Chiislmas Luncheon sponsored by local businesses. single bedding sets for new residentsand ample
chocolates and treats.
We weie successful in securing funding from several granl-givin9 organisations includin9 Core Costs,
somethin9 that can be challenging when compared lo a specific project related funding.
National Lottery Community Fund, We were delighted to have been successful in securing funding
from Ihe National Lottery Community Fund. The grant award of £480,656 over the next S years helps
us lo continue to support people who are experiencing homelessness in our communities. Although
the funding does not cover all our expected costs. il helps us to secvre essential roles and expand
service delivery to enable us to al continue to deliver the trauma informed elements of our work and
bl build on the successes to dale and further develop the support and services that enable our
beneficiaries to recover.
PutAic Health England ar￿ Worcester City Council have both been instrumental in enabling us to
continue lo deliver essenllal counselling setvices to our resKlents. Combined. these grants lolalled in
excess of £70.000 with £52.000 comlng from the Rough Sl*per Drug & Alcohol Tralnlng granl
Garfield Weston Foundation. £25.000 per year for 2 years. 2023-24 sees Ihe final tranche of thi5 Core
Cost grant award,.
Sanctuary Housing Group - Community Investment Fund. Funding through this programme has
supported our Peer Menlor Programme,

Along with funds raised at the 8ig Worcester Quiz. all funds were dlslribuled belween St Paul's Hostel,

Sl Paul's Hostel
st Paul's hostel is central lo our service. It has facilities for 42 people plus two self-contained resettlement flats
on the same site. The charity provides single room accommodation, nutritious food and tenancy support. The
Project Workers undertake tasks to help people manage their accommodation and build self-efficacy to
establish themselves as able to live an inter-dependent life.
st Paul's Resettlement Servlc•
St Paul'5 own5 2 propertie5 and rents i House of Mulllple Occupation IHMOI that are known as resettlement
properties. These 13 beds provide the next step from the hosteL using the Housing Reody philosophy. From
this stage, staff offer Housing Management serwces to help a person retain the tenancy, building resilience
and self- efficacy. In 2024. the i rented HMO will be handed back to its owner, due to low occupancy.
st Paul's Counselllng Sorvlc¢
The in-house C8T counselling service provides almost Immediate access to an accredited counseLLor for crfsis
intervention or therapy. Service utilization is al)ove 94% and we have further reduced the waiting time for
appointments.
NoU￿n9 Flrst ProJoCt
The Worcestershire Housing First Pilot, funded by the Business Rates Retention funding from WOr￿StershIre
County Council and 5 distr¢ct councils continues until 31 March 2025. During the 4 years of operation. il has
rehomed 56 people. who had previously been deemed very difficult to house by Local Authorities.
Unfortunately. 3 people in that service have died. The University of Worcester ha5 completed an evaluation
using a similar Iramework to the national Housing First pilots in Manchester. Liverpool and Birmingham. The
Worcestershire Housing First pilot is not part of the 3 national pilots,. however. the tenancy sustainment rale5
compare more than favourably to these pilots.
Flnanclal Revlew
High levels of occupancy and a higher level of grants. legacies and donations have helped to reduce Ihe
budgeted deficit for this financial year, which was welcome news. The key financial risk for the coming year
continues to be the funding of Ihose services not funded by Housing Benefit Income. namely Counselling and
Therapeulic Seryice5 and the Kitchen Service Project. However, we have been fortunate in already securing
some part fundbng for ihese aclivitse5 for the next financial year.
Plans for future perlods
Our future plans will focus on,.
Creating a work force of people who have the rlghl skills, compelencies. and attitude of mind
lo work in a Trauma Informed way.
Deliver Trauma-lnlormed services that meet the needs of the homeless person and prevent
the need lo re-access homeless services in the fulure.
Change public attitudes towards homelessness at the local and regtonal level. so that the
public want change and homelessne55 is less tskely.
Have sustalnable income and a ca￿taL Investmenl programme, so we can help homeless
people until homelessness is ended.

There is an inherent risk that our audit will not delect all iNeguiarilies. including those resulling in material
misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with reguialion. This risk is greater in respect of
fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intenlional conceairnent.. forgery. collusion. omission or

scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting
