Chairman’s Report

This report covers the year ended 31 March 2022 while the UK was in varying degrees of lockdown due to COVID-19. Nonetheless we were able to continue our programmes and start implementing the 2021 – 2026 Strategy.

Programmes

We recognise the impact that COVID-19 has had on the work of our staff, our volunteers and our clients.

Our clients may be those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and find housing through our Two Step programme (Homeless Services). They may be those who are suffering from drug or alcohol addiction and get space to turn their lives around through our quasi-residential, peerguided recovery programme, One Day at a Time – ODAAT (Recovery Services). They may be among the hundreds of children or thousands of adults who are educated and gain skills through the programmes we support in Zambia, Lebanon, Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as well as Zimbabwe, Cambodia and Croatia. All of them have been affected by COVID-19. It is a testament to the work done by staff and volunteers in the UK and elsewhere before the crisis hit that we were able to continue our work during it. We continued to support those in our recovery houses, we supported the homeless, including helping house people as they left the temporary hotel accommodation provided by local authorities. Programmes we support overseas continued to educate children and support families.

In the year covered by this annual report:

Governance

After the significant board renewal of 2020-21 this year was a year of consolidation of the new Board of Trustees.

Barry Edwards stepped down after 9 years as a Trustee and we will be forever grateful for his years of service. Happily, Barry stayed in our Advisory Groups and we will continue benefitting from his insights and experience.

Thank You

I want to end by thanking our CEO Michael Farrell, the management team and all staff, supporters, volunteers (including fellow Trustees) and partners for the contribution they have made to our work, particularly during these times of COVID . As we start entering into the new normal I look forward to seeing what the future will bring.

Trustees Report

Who we are

HOPE worldwide was started by members of the London International Church of Christ (now ICC Missions) in 1991 to help people in need and to involve members of the supporting churches in doing this. It is now an independent charity which maintains a close relationship with its founding congregations. Its main charitable objective is the relief of poverty. We are inspired by Christian principles and seek to put them into practice in our work.

The Strategy set for 2021 – 2026, in collaboration with our supporters is as follows:

HOPE worldwide’s VISION is

Is of a world where everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their God-given potential.

HOPE worldwide’s Mission is

To empower people to overcome poverty, homelessness and addiction through our compassionate service.

Our work is rooted in the Christian faith and is inspired by the example and love of Jesus Christ.

Our CORE VALUES as:

Objectives and Activities

HOPE worldwide works in 4 main areas:

Strategic Objectives for Homeless Services

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

Strategic Objectives for Recovery Services

Strategic Objectives for International Activities

Volunteering

HOPE worldwide depends on the effort of volunteers. Our volunteers raise money to support our work and also work within our programmes and those of our partner organisations overseas. We encourage our supporters to volunteer for other charities in the UK too.

Strategic Objectives for Volunteering

Public Benefit

The Trustees have complied with the duty set out in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission, particularly Public benefit: running a charity (PB2) . All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the Charity. Trustees continue to choose to pay their own travel costs rather than make a claim from the Charity, even though they would be entitled to do so.

The main focus of our work in the UK is currently London, where our core programmes operate. We have teams of volunteers from supporting churches that fundraise for the Charity in a number of cities around the UK including Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Leicester, London, Manchester and Reading. We are grateful for the enduring, generous support of all our volunteers.

Outside the UK we support work to help those in need in Zambia, Lebanon, Nepal, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan as well as Zimbabwe, Cambodia and Croatia. We do this by funding programmes which are managed by partner organisations in those countries. We also provide support and advice to these organisations and promote and organise trips by volunteers.

Achievements and Performance

Homeless Services (Two Step)

Description of Programme

The Two Step programme provides a specialised housing service for single people in London who are experiencing or threatened with homelessness.

We work in partnership with local authorities, night shelters, day centres and other charities that refer people to the programme. Staff and volunteers strive to treat each person using the service with respect, dignity and compassion. We evaluate the needs of those referred to help them access appropriate accommodation in the private rented sector or supported housing.

Over the past 29 years Two Step has built up a large network of accommodation providers which enables us to help around 200 people per year to find suitable accommodation.

What we planned to do in 2021/22

What we did in 2021/22

Improve and increase partnerships and collaboration

We will engage with all existing partners to establish how needs have changed and how we can creatively develop the way we work together.

We will also seek to establish new referral partnerships with other charities and also with new local authority partners - particularly in the areas we are offered housing. Since current funding for the charity referral service ends in March 2022, we will apply for new grant funding for April 2022 onwards.

We began new partnerships with Shelter, Restart Lives, Housing for Women, Queen Victoria Seaman’s Rest, Mildmay Hospital and Marylebone Day Centre as part of our Charity Housing Service.

After consulting with the Centre for Homeless Impact regarding tenancy sustainment for our Charity Housing Service, we decided to measure tenancy sustainment at 6, 12 and 18 months and also record Education, Training and Employment outcomes 12 months after people were housed. LHF provided funding for an extra 12 months.

Page 7 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

What weplanned to do in 2021/22 What we did in 2021/22
Empower supporters for effective
compassionate service
We will continue to harness the “power of Social
Media” to equip everybody to make a difference
with those experiencing homelessness, such as
producing a YouTube video that explains how to
speak to people on the street who appear to be
homeless and encourage supporting churches to
show it. We will monitor which congregations
show the video, the response to the video and
encourage supporters to call us for advice
regarding people that they speak to.		 Two versions of a video entitled“How to talk to
someone on the street who appears homeless”
were produced and are on YouTube.
The videos were shown in several supporting
congregations and some supporters called for
advice regarding specific situations. In addition,
the video was used as part of a training session
by London City Mission.
Help people reach their potential
We will review our assessment and tenancy
sustainment practices to work in a more person-
centred and strength-based way. We also plan to
review and improve the way we measure
impact. To encourage people to pursue their
desired goals we will incorporate related
questions in our assessment and tenancy
sustainment processes.		 Our assessment forms were revised to
incorporate a more strength-based approach by
noting strengths and past experiences and
recording hopes, dreams or plans for the future.
We trialled extended tenancy sustainment
conversations and decided to record Education
Training and Employment status at the start of
tenancies and after 12 monthsgoingforward.

How volunteers were involved in our work

We took a placement student from Brunel University in September 2021 who remained with us until July 2022. Since the number of appointments at the office was much lower due to COVID restrictions, there was not the need for other volunteers this year. We expect this to change for 2022-23.

Impact of COVID-19:

Staff and volunteers

Staff worked from home for a significant part of 2021-22 due to COVID. Staff returned the office on a rotation basis from September 2021 and from Spring 2022 all gradually returned to the office on a hybrid basis.

Risks

Page 8 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

To help mitigate against these risks, we will continue to collaborate with other organisations in the sector regarding how to support the people we work with. We will also provide information and guidance to help people claiming benefits to move into employment so that they are exempt from the benefit cap.

What we plan to do next year (2022/23)

Improve and increase partnerships and collaboration

Empower supporters for effective compassionate service

We will continue to educate our supporters on the causes and responses to homelessness by using social media to tell stories of people we have helped. We will use our relationships with night shelters to connect supporters with opportunities to volunteer.

Help people reach their potential

Our main focus is to improve and extend the scope of our Charity Housing service. We will aim to have tenancy sustainment rates of greater than 90% for 6 months, 85% for 12 months and 80% for 18 months for this service by the end of March 2023. However, the cost of living crisis may make achieving those goals very challenging.

Recovery Services (One Day at a Time - ODAAT)

Description of Programme

ODAAT is quasi-residential men only, abstinence based, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programme and is based on peer support. We are located in south London and we help men from 18 years upwards to have the time and safe space to stop their harmful routines and instead, spend time working on themselves to enable lasting recovery.

Our daytime activities are situated at St. Mark’s Church at the Oval and our recovery houses are in Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth. We provide a range of support and therapies to aid long-term recovery. The first and second stages each last 12 weeks and there is then the option of third stage supported housing either provided by ODAAT or other organisations with which we work. We do not have 24/7 staff at the houses, and it is this that makes us quasi-residential. However, we do have a rota of experienced volunteers who stay overnight to provide additional cover.

We use a holistic approach to treatment which includes psychotherapy, group therapy, one to one counselling, life skills and education workshops as well as leisure activities, housing related support including help with eventual resettlement.

Our programme is based on peer support. When someone starts the programme, they have support from a senior peer who has been on the programme for a longer period. The new starter does not travel anywhere outside the house without being accompanied, and they do not have their phone or a key to the house. This helps us keep them safe from negative outside influences but empowers them compared to other types of recovery programmes where they are locked down for a period. It also strengthens the peer relationships which are key throughout the programme. We also ensure that we have independent, on-going risk assessments of each person to help us to know when to vary the degree of support.

We accept self and agency referrals, such as from local authority substance misuse teams, as well as from probation services/courts. As we do not provide detoxification, clients need to be drug and alcohol free before admission. The programme is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) with the next audit to be in June/July 2022.

We provide a male only rehab for two main reasons. Firstly, the demand for men to be treated is over twice that of women. Secondly, romantic relationships between men and women are a major cause of relapse. Therefore, to give our clients the best chance of recovery, we have chosen not to have mixed households.

What we experienced at ODAAT in 2021-22

COVID-19 restrictions since March 2020, has made 2021-22 one of the most challenging years in the programme’s history. We are aware that several rehabs closed their doors over this difficult period. We are grateful for the tremendous support we have received enabling us to continue the transformative service we provide.

Due to COVID restrictions, we had no entrants for the period April to June 2021 and only seven new admissions during the remaining nine months. The main factor behind the lower admission

Page 10 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

numbers was the closure of medically controlled detoxification centres within the Greater London area. More recently, the Equinox “Brook Drive” Detox Centre ceased operating in July 2021 and the “City Road” Detox Centre, Islington closed in June 2019. Historically, those detox centres were the main pathway into the ODAAT rehab programme.

Those closures prompted local authorities to use detoxification facilities outside London. This had a double effect on London based rehab services, like ODAAT, because local authorities prioritised dual purpose “detox plus rehab” centres. The reasoning was that a dual purpose centre eliminated the need for clients to self-isolate due to COVID when transferring from a detox centre to a rehab centre.

New Detoxification Unit for London

As a response to the closure of Brook Drive, the last NHS funded detox in London, a pan-London funded detox unit was set up in July 2021 at Guy’s & St. Thomas’ hospital from which we received two clients. This service is increasingly being used by London local authorities and is beginning to restore the traditional pathway of clients to our service.

The above table shows that an average of 68% of programme graduates over the past 5 years are not using at the time of writing. Research shows that the longer someone remains free from addiction, the greater the likelihood of them not returning to these harmful behaviours.

What weplanned to do in 21/22 What we did in 21/22
Expand the service to deal with more
complex mental health needs.		 Carried out specific training in anticipation of
the increased demand for our services by
clients with more complex needs.
Contacted new organisations to establish
fresh referralpathways.
Develop our training programme for staff
and volunteers involved in key work.		 Set up a weekly training group to work
together to improve the clinical interventions
that we employto each keyworker’s clients.
Contact all London local authorities that we
don’t currently collaborate with to establish
newpathways into the ODAATprogramme.		 All the authorities were contacted with
steady, ongoing progress being made in
developingrelationships.

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

What weplanned to do in 21/22 What we did in 21/22
Establishing an Alumni Programme. A team of Georgetown University Masters’
students carried out research on alumni
programmes for rehabs in the UK. Their
research indicated that ODAAT would be the
first to have an Alumni programme and
provided guidance on what graduates
wanted. Most popular were reunions,
networking and job training. Raklet, a
specialist alumni software, was identified as
the platform to best engage ODAAT with the
alumni community. This software is being
trialled in quarter two 2022-23, before
rollingit out to the larger community.

COVID impact

We practiced good infection and prevention control measures and maintained our routine testing and reporting procedures in line with NHS guidelines. No staff, volunteers or clients were infected during the year.

As the COVID pandemic continued, local authorities prioritised dual purpose “detox plus rehab” centres. This meant that once a client has completed their detox treatment, they remained within the same facility rather than having to self-isolate for one week before transferring to a separate rehab centre, like ODAAT.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of our programme. For the first part of the year, we had 3 of our graduates acting as volunteer support workers and they also helped us provide out of hours cover during evenings and weekends. From early November 2021, those volunteers provided 7 days per week overnight support at our First Stage house.

We also had the help of 1 new trainee counsellor who is getting the experience hours required by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

What we plan to do next year (2022/23)

In 2022/23 we plan to enlarge the service, both in the number of beneficiaries and the breadth of the service we offer, for example, treating those with more complex mental health needs. This is part of the five year strategy (2021-2026). Important elements of this focus will be closer collaboration with local authorities, expanding the number of partnerships and implementing feedback to continually improve the service we offer.

Ongoing development of our staff & volunteer training programme to enhance the quality of our care.

Develop the ODAAT alumni program to offer an environment that supports and encourages strong, healthy relationships toward long term recovery. This will include opportunities for networking, learning recovery skills, advocacy, training, volunteering and more.

Financial Review

Sources of Funds

We received funding from public bodies including local government grants and central government funded programmes, and other charities. These funds made up 34% of total income (48% 2020/21) and went towards our Homeless Services (Two Step) and Recovery Services (ODAAT) programmes.

Recovery Services (ODAAT) received Housing Benefit amounting to 12% of total income (14% 2020/21) which went towards funding our Stage 1-3 Recovery Houses.

We are grateful for the generosity of so many shown by their Individual Donations and associated Gift Aid. We also want to express a huge “Thank You” to our supporting churches and those participating in sponsored events. In total, this made up 35% of total income (31% 2019/20). Much of this was unrestricted, which allowed us to be flexible in how we used it to meet the needs of beneficiaries.

Corporate donations and funding accounted for 16% of total income (5% 2019/20). The near fourfold year on year increase was primarily due to a change in accounting treatment in the prior year.

We would like to give special thanks to the companies and organisations that supported our International Programs. George, the clothing arm of ASDA, funds the largest of the HOPE worldwide schools in Bangladesh under a 3 year agreement, Pepco funds the Ashulia Primary School in Bangladesh, also under a 3 year agreement, PDS Multinational Holding (Soham for All) supports a school in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and Sevenhill supports the Village of Hope in India.

Page 20 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

Uses of funds

88% of total income was spent on services to beneficiaries (89% 2020/21).

Of this, Homeless Services made up 31% (37% 2020/21), Recovery Services and Supported Housing (ODAAT) 29% (31% 2020/21), and International support 27% (21% 2020/21). The bulk of our expenditure on International programmes was grants to overseas partner organisations.

The remaining 12% (11% 2020/21) of income was spent on fundraising and support costs, including the overall management of the Charity.

Reserves

The Charity’s Reserves policy balances the need to protect charitable activities and the desire to allow most of the funds raised to be used to support our beneficiaries. As we work in 3 different areas with separate income and expenditure profiles, this protection requires different levels of reserves for the different programmes.

Page 21 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

The Policy set by the Trustees aims to even out these differing needs, stating that our unrestricted funds should be 50% of the highest annual expenditure within the last 3 years, including the carrying amount of functional assets, mainly the ODAAT Stage 1 and Stage 2 houses. These are included in the figure because the Trustees consider that value can be released during the 6-month period.

The table below shows the expenditure and resulting target funds level under this Policy as well as the corresponding free reserves figure, excluding the value of the functional assets.

2021-22 2020-21
Expenditure this year £1,296,053 £1,185,452
Expenditure, max. of past 3 years £1,296,053 £1,185,452
Unrestricted funds £577,495 £612,782
Months of expenditure in unrestricted funds 5.3 6.2
Free reserves
(Unrestricted funds less unencumbered fixed assets) £327,284 £401,500
Months of expenditure in free reserves 3.0 4.1

Whilst the level of unrestricted funds remains below the target level, the Trustees consider that we have sufficient available funds. Our free reserves represent 3 months of expenditure. The Board will continue to review the Reserves Policy during 2022/23 to ensure we continue to maintain a desirable balance.

Fundraising Practices

The Charity undertakes fundraising activity to its supporters through appeals made directly via email, and announcements and presentations at supporting churches. It also benefits from fundraising events organised by its staff and supporters.

HOPE worldwide is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the standards of the Fundraising Code. As far as the Trustees are aware, the Code has been complied with during the year. There is a complaints policy to deal with any issues that may arise. No complaints have been received about fundraising activity in the year.

We employed a part-time fundraiser focussed on making grant applications to support programmes overseas. We did not employ third-party fundraising organisations.

Risk Management

The Charity reviews its risk register at least quarterly, and where reasonably possible systems, policies and procedures have been established to mitigate the risks. Outside of COVID-19 (addressed below), the principal risks are sustainability of income and the safety of staff, volunteers and beneficiaries. A summary of these risks and the key mitigations is given below:

Sustainability of Income

A proportion of the charity’s funding comes from local authority funding and this is vulnerable to decisions beyond our control. All the Senior Management team are tasked with seeking alternative funding sources and developing funding strategies for their areas. A part time fundraiser assists this work.

We continue to monitor the economic backdrop of high inflation and the “cost of living crisis” and the potential impact on donor income. We are grateful to our supporters and have invested more resources in donor relations in communicating the impact and outcomes of all HOPE programmes.

Safety of Staff, Volunteers and Beneficiaries

All staff and volunteers who work with beneficiaries are screened, which includes a police check, and they are provided with training for their roles. In 2021, the Charity achieved the Investors in People Gold Standard. ODAAT is regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and has been successfully audited by them. The Charity has designated Health & Safety officers and a designated Safeguarding Officer.

The Trustees are conscious that the programmes we fund overseas constitute an area of risk for the Charity, even though we are not running these programmes directly. We work with our partner charities to ensure their safeguarding and whistleblowing policies are suitable and robust. We are currently working with our partners and other members of the HOPE worldwide Global Network to improve these policies further. This work takes into account the “Safeguarding for External Partners” Standards produced by DFID when it was stand alone.

COVID-19

Moving forward into a “post COVID world”, HOPE worldwide continues to review and monitor for any resurgence of the virus and respond robustly in caring for our beneficiaries. This is formally done through our Risk Register and fortnightly Senior Management Team meetings.

Since March 2020, varying degrees of government COVID lockdown restrictions have been in place. In February 2022, all Covid rules were scrapped in England as part of the country’s plan to “live with the virus”. Wales and Scotland followed suit.

The following is a summary of the impact of living in a “COVID world” and a “post COVID world”.

Homeless Services (Two Step): Since September 2021, hybrid working practices have been in place. Staff participated in a third party funded 12 week research project on the impact of resilience training. We continue to collaborate strongly with partners to continually adapt to best meet the needs of those experiencing homelessness.

Page 23 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

Recovery Services (ODAAT): Post government lockdown restrictions, the programme continued to operate with agility, energy and creativity in supporting our clients and also complying with government guidelines.

Feedback from staff and clients indicated a sense of “isolation” and “loss of community” due to the prolonged nature of COVID lockdown restrictions. During 2021/22, we moved to working under a Central Office Hub model with face to face contact in one to one counselling and volunteers fully engaged with clients. Meals for clients, staff and volunteers were hosted most days at St. Marks church and HVTs stayed overnight at the Stage 1 property 7 days week.

International: With the sustained and often devastating impact of the COVID pandemic across the globe, we continued to allocate funds to purchase & distribute essential food items for some of the poorest families whose children were attending HOPE worldwide schools and also to those not able to work during lockdowns. Funding was also used to purchase oxygen concentrators to support the local emergency response efforts. A portion of the funding was allocated to the creation of small businesses through grants or interest free loans.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document

The name of the Charity is HOPE worldwide , a company limited by guarantee. It was formed on 22 October 1991. On 26 November 2020 the Memorandum and Articles of Association was amended to reflect current charity best practices. The Trustees are also directors and members of the company with liability limited by guarantee to £1. There are no other members. None of the Directors had any other interest in the Charity. The Directors are also Trustees for the purposes of charity law and in this report they are referred to as Trustees.

Appointment of Trustees

The number of Trustees normally varies between 6 and 12, in order to keep a broad mix of skills ensuring the Board’s effectiveness. Skills gaps on the board are regularly reviewed and the Board seeks volunteers with appropriate competencies to fill these. The power to appoint Trustees rests with the existing Board. It is expected that all Trustees have demonstrated their interest through acting as volunteers with the Charity before being considered for appointment.

The Trustees’ skills and experience are broad and include business, public service, medical, voluntary sector and international development. Before joining the Board, all prospective new Trustees are interviewed by the existing Board and also attend Board meetings as observers. New Trustees are provided with an induction and training.

Barry Edwards stepped down after nine years as a Trustee, however, remains active within a Trustee Advisory Group. We continue to be grateful for his service.

The board currently consists of nine members.

Organisation

The Board met 7 times between April 2021 and March 2022 to review reports from the Management Team and to discuss the direction and policies of the Charity.

Additionally, the full Board met 6 times between December 2020 and June 2021 to develop the updated Strategy.

Trustees visited the programmes, though this was limited due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Day to day operational decisions were delegated to the Chief Executive who reported to the Board at board meetings and regularly met with the Chair.

Page 25 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

Staff Remuneration Policy and Performance Management

HOPE worldwide is committed to ensuring that it pays its staff a fair and appropriate salary. This is to enable us to attract and retain people with the right skills and therefore have the greatest impact in delivering our objectives.

To manage this process, HOPE worldwide grades roles using the National Joint Council (NJC) process and then uses the NJC pay scales to establish a pay point for the role. The Charity then pays the employee within a range +/- 10% of this pay point, depending on performance and development within the role. This process is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees in co-operation with the Chief Executive. For the setting of pay for the Chief Executive the same process is followed to establish a pay point, but the decision is made wholly by the Board.

Staff and Volunteers

Staffing averaged 15.2 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees. Of these 7.6 FTE worked in Homeless Services and 4.0 FTE in Recovery Services.

Approximately 75 people also provided an estimated 1,950 volunteer hours. These volunteers ranged from Trustees to Ambassadors to Fundraisers to Mentors and Support for international partners. Without the commitment of these volunteers the Charity would not be able to accomplish its objectives and we are deeply grateful for their service.

The Charity is a supporter of and pays at least the Living Wage and maintained the Investors In People Gold Standard (awarded 2021 and previously in 2017 and 2014).

Related parties and cooperation with other organisations - UK

HOPE worldwide works operationally with many agencies including the North London Housing Partnership, The Refugee Council, City of London, Glass Door Homelessness Charity , NEWway Project, Shelter , St. Thomas’ detox; as well as local authorities, probation services, prisons, drug intervention project teams, substance misuse teams, detox units and others .

HOPE worldwide maintains close links with church groups linked to the International Churches of Christ, which originally founded HOPE worldwide . These are ICC Missions, Thames Valley Churches of Christ and Avon Valley Churches of Christ. These churches regularly collect donations from their congregations on behalf of HOPE worldwide . They also sometimes make restricted donations for the benefit of various HOPE worldwide programmes.

The Charity partners with St Mark’s Kennington, which hosts the ‘One Day At A Time’ day programme for our addiction recovery services (ODAAT).

The Charity is a member of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO), Homeless Link and Housing Justice.

Related parties and co-operation with other organisations – Overseas

The Charity is a member of the HOPE worldwide Global Network. The organisations which are members of this network all have their roots in the charitable work of the International Churches of

Page 26 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22 Trustees Report

Christ (ICOC). All of the members, like HOPE worldwide , are independent charities that maintain close links with their local ICOC congregations. The HOPE worldwide Global Network has a membership structure and all members share a common set of values, agree to meet a set of standards and have the objective of helping the poor or disadvantaged.

HOPE worldwide makes to and receives grants of funds from other members of the network for specific programmes and unrestricted charitable purposes. The Charity receives funds from UK based donors to fund programmes undertaken by other members of the network. Where grants are received by the Charity they are reported as restricted or unrestricted income. Where grants are made to HOPE worldwide network members they are reported under grant making or overseas support. These relationships do not have any other impact on the policies of the Charity.

HOPE worldwide

Independent auditor’s report to the members of HOPE worldwide

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of HOPE worldwide for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s 's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 30 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22

HOPE worldwide

Independent auditor’s report to the members of HOPE worldwide

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees’ Annual Report (which incorporates the directors’ report).

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 29, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to

Page 31 of 50

Hope worldwide Annual Report 2021/22

HOPE worldwide

Independent auditor’s report to the members of HOPE worldwide

liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the charitable company and the sector in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to regulatory requirements of company and charity law applicable in England and Wales and the regulatory requirements of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), and we considered the extent to which noncompliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006 and payroll taxes.

We evaluated management’s opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in certain accounting estimates and judgements such as the income recognition policy applied to grant income. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Charity are prepared in accordance with 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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. They are drawn up on the historical cost accounting basis. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in Pounds Sterling rounded to the nearest Pound.

1.2 Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees are satisfied that there is no material uncertainty and the preparation of accounts on the going concern basis is supported by financial plans. In particular, a detailed cashflow forecast has been prepared on reasonable assumptions of income and expenditure such as key funding contracts, housing benefit and funded client income, and staff levels.

1.3 Fund accounting

The Charity maintained a number of funds during the reporting period. The unrestricted fund is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment. The restricted funds are held to sustain HOPE worldwide programmes both in the UK and overseas. Details of the restricted funds are set out in Note 12.

1.4 Income

All income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when the conditions of receipt have been met and receipt is probable. The following accounting policies are applied to income:

Donations

Donations and all other receipts from fundraising are reported gross and related fundraising costs are reported in costs of raising funds where appropriate.

Tax reclaimed on money donated under the Gift Aid scheme

Income under this category is recognised in the financial statements on the date that the underlying donation is received by the Charity.

Income from Charitable Activities

We receive funding from public bodies such as Local Government grants and Housing Benefit, and programmes funded by Central Government and other Charities. These funds go towards our Homeless Services (Two Step) and Recovery Services (ODAAT) programmes.

1.5 Costs of raising funds

Costs of raising funds are those incurred in seeking voluntary income.

Report & Accounts , 31[st] March 2022

HOPE worldwide

Notes to the Financial Statements

1 Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Costs of charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities includes all expenditure directly related to the objectives of the Charity and comprises the following:

Grants payable

Grants payable are accounted for when the Trustees have accepted a legal or moral obligation to make the grant. This will usually be when the commitment is communicated to the recipient.

Other expenditure on charitable activities

Other expenditure on charitable activities comprises the costs of staff salaries, travel and subsistence, facility costs, communication and programme costs.

Support Costs

Support costs have been allocated to the costs of raising funds and charitable activities on the basis of staff time. Prior year figures have been restated to show governance costs as a component of support costs.

1.7 Governance costs

Governance costs include costs of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of the Charity. These activities provide the governance infrastructure which allows the Charity to operate and to generate the information required for public accountability.

1.8 Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided on cost in equal annual instalments over the estimated useful lives of the assets – or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the life of the lease. The rates of depreciation for non-lease related assets are as follows:

Buildings: 2% per annum Fixtures & Fittings: 10-25% per annum Office Equipment: 20-33% per annum

Items held by the Charity are recognised as assets where they have a useful life (likely to bring future economic benefit) of more than one financial year and where the initial cost is over £300, or at the discretion of management, any single pieces of equipment costing less, such as computers.

1.9 Foreign currency translation

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the local currency at actual exchange rates at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are reported at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date. Any gain or loss arising from a change in the exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the statement of financial activities.

Notes to the Financial Statements
