TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note | to the accounts and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, issued in March 2005.

Objectives and activities

Purposes and aims

The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at the achievements and outcomes the charity has made through this reporting period. The Trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the Trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

About Crawley Open House

Crawley Open House started its journey in 1982 when doors first opened on a project in Spencers Road known as the Crawley Community Resources Centre. In the winter of 1990 we delivered our first overnight accommodation providing emergency cold weather beds to those that were sleeping rough. In 1994 we launch a permanent hostel instead of a temporary cold weather shelter. Portakabins once used to house construction workers building the channel tunnel were converted to provide twelve single and four double rooms plus an office, a shower, a toilet and a laundry block. In 1996, the hostel and resource centre merge to form Crawley Open House.

Since these early days we have grown to provide accommodation, support and services for those in the Crawley area suffering the effects of homelessness, unemployment, loneliness, discrimination, or other forms of social exclusion. This hasn’t changed and our support is available to anyone in need, and can sometimes be as little as a meal or feeling listened to.

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

The last year has again been challenging for everyone and none more so than the homeless community and the growing pressures the local community faced in the midst of the continued effects of the global pandemic as well as the events in Ukraine, and in particular the cost of living crisis which has affected all sectors of society and has implications for Crawley Open House in terms of donations of all kinds. On top of our normal services we have continued to adapt to new ways of working so that we best serve our clients and protect our staff.

CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 ae

Riverside House

The hostel at Riverside House is the heart of Crawley Open House where we have our 24 bed hostel that is staffed 24/7. In addition to residential services, it offers general advice, housing and resettlement support, mental health and substance misuse support and counselling, as well as access to a doctor, chiropodist and hairdresser.

The occupancy of the hostel again exceeded 99% and it is sad that we have to turn away requests for a room every day because we are full. Over the year we provided hostel accommodation for 110 people who would otherwise have been homeless.

We attach great importance to helping clients find more permanent accommodation suitable to their needs, and during the year we were able to resettle 62 in this way. It was encouraging to see 56.2% of the hostel residents successfully moved on to longer term accommodation. This is higher than last year and a sign people are beginning to move-on in a shorter time after the pandemic.

Resource Centre

The official opening of the Resource Centre took place on 6" July 2022 and was opened by the Mayor of Crawley and attended by a group of staff, volunteers, friends and supporters. The Resource Centre benefits from workshop, multi-use space, kitchen, hot desks in all offices, as well as a new laundry, shower facilities and donation station.

The Resource Centre is the new home for the Day Centre services and includes a schedule of regular classes that take place including cycle repairs, baking, CSCS card training and IT lessons.

The overall the separation of accommodation and day services has been successful and the staff have seen many new successes from having this facility and continue to lea about what is needed to best service our clients with one such example leading to the sponsorship from Sainsbury’s for the purchase of a professional coffee machine that is used for barista training for clients, It has also become the home for focal service partners to base themselves on a regular basis and provide a closer service for the clients.

Move-On

Providing move-on accommodation is a key part of our work to help people move successfully into long-term, secure rented accommodation.

The new Laing rooms are in their 3" year of service, providing on-site first stage move-on accommodation. The eight individual bedrooms, with shared living areas, continue to allow people to build on the progress they’ve made in our hostel. With support in place to encourage people to live more independently we are able to offer increased freedom and privileges to our Laing residents. They have proved successful with the right residents and the team have learnt how to integrate these clients within the residential team and managed them according to their individual needs. As previously mentioned, it has been a worthwhile investment and clearly a key part of the charity going forward.

Across our five Move-On houses we offer twenty-three rooms at an affordable rent to people looking to move forward into long-term, secure, independent living and work. This is shortly to become six, adding an additional five beds.

At this point, Move-On accommodation and giving people the skills they need to prevent them returning to homelessness in the future is a cornerstone to our work. We now have almost as many move-on beds as we do hostel beds which is a remarkable achievement and represents our commitment to both long-term and short-term solutions for people in need.

Outreach Team

Outreach, i.e., actively going out into the community to find, identify and support those who are sleeping rough, continues to be an important part of our work. . We were delighted to secure renewed funding from Crawley Borough Council for our Outreach Team which will allow us to continue to deliver this valuable work to the most vulnerable in our community.

CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Resettlement Outreach

This team works with people who are in accommodation but who are at risk of losing their housing for whatever reason. Clients might have a short-term crisis, or a longer-term issue, and need help with issues such as food poverty, financial insecurity, antisocial behavior and a lack of independent living skills. Many of these situations would deteriorate quickly and end in homelessness without support to keep things on track. This team have a proven track record of early interventions that have prevented someone vulnerable from becoming homeless in the first place and, as is commonly said, prevention is undoubtedly better than cure.

Fundraising Activities

What a relief to get back to some sort of post-COVID normality with a resumption of community, networking and fundraising events, along with the return of volunteers and visitors to Crawley Open House. However, as one challenge passed another cropped up, and this time it was the personal finance crisis brought about by surging energy prices and economic uncertainty. We have seen, and continue to see, a marked drop in community and individual giving, in line with most smaller charities, as people literally don’t have the disposable income to give away. Fortunately, other income streams have held up well, and we managed to end the financial year just about where we wanted to be in terms of funds in.

We were again humbled by the breadth of support we received from so many in the community, in so many different ways. From people like 8 year old Jacob running a mile a day for a month in Forge Wood and raising over £500 in the process, to huge support from places of worship, community groups and schools. From generous donations from individuals and families to major investments in our work from many companies and Trusts. We are thankful to each and every one of you.

Our 1 in 1000 regular giving scheme has also suffered this year falling around 10% in the monthly contributions.. We are still so grateful for this regular, stable income which has allowed us to plan and budget effectively, particularly in these unpredictable economic times.

Major Gifts

In July 2022 we opened our new Resource Centre opposite the hostel, and we welcomed large grants from the National Lottery Community Fund and St Christopher’s Trust towards its running costs for the next three years.

In many ways it is more difficult to bring in core funding than to raise money for specific capital projects, and we were grateful to several Trusts for their support in this area, including Lord Barnby’s Foundation, the Wates Foundation, the Cragwood Fund at Sussex Community Foundation, Albert Van den Burgh Charitable Trust, John Laing Charitable Trust and long-term supporters Three Oaks Trust. A number of business partners put us in touch with their corporate foundations and we were successful with bids to the Sainsburys Community Fund, the Amazon Community Foundation, Co Op Community Fund and Thales Charitable Trust.

One area of growth this year has been with local corporate donors, including Thakeham Homes, Boeing, Waitrose, Hall & Woodhouse, Irwin Mitchell, Portland Vets, Chemigraphic, Benchmark Reprographics, Total Gas & Power, Metro Bank, CGG, EVM, Nestle and many others. We are grateful for their interest in our work and generosity.

Many places of worship continue to support us faithfully and wonderfully, and this year they included St Margaret’s Warnham, St Swithun’s East Grinstead, Holy Trinity Cuckfield, St John’s Felbridge, Trinity Methodist East Grinstead, Worth Abbey, Crawley URC and Haywards Heath Methodist. Long standing supporters Whittington College and St Vincent de Paul were once again very active and generous, We were again a charity of choice for several local schools including Ardingly College, Hazelwick, St Wilfrid’s, Felbridge Primary, Thomas Bennett and Copthorne Prep.

Due to the cost-of-living crisis there were understandably some reluctant withdrawals from our [ in 1000 monthly giving scheme, We are so grateful to all past and present donors through this scheme, and we still have around 370 people giving in this way. Thank you to all of them.

a

Many of the valuable donations we receive are not financial, Numerous people give of their time and expertise to volunteer in a host of different ways — in our kitchens, Resource Centre, move-on house gardens and food warehouse. We have seen an explosion of people willing to take over our hostel kitchen and bring all the ingredients for lunch or dinner, which they then cook and serve to everybody. Special thanks to teams from Thales, Atlas Copco, Richard Place Dobson and People’s Partnership.

We were brought food, clothing, toiletries, dog food, bedding, sleeping bags and many other essential items by literally hundreds of people and organisations. Special thanks to Morrisons Oxted, Sainsburys Crawley, Co Op Pound Hill, Nandos Crawley, Greggs Three Bridges, Master Fryer Pound Hill, Hygiene Bank, Nestle, Bridgeham Clinic, Metro Bank, Rapid ReliefTeam, OnSite Support and Sub Cool FM for their consistent and wonderful help.

Events There were lots of fundraising events organised by others including 3 Peaks Challenges by trustee Anne Marie Roberts and our friends at EMW Law, choir performances ftom Songbirds and Phoenix Choirs, a Virgin Atlantic curry evening, charity feasts in East Grinstead, open gardens in Shipley, a Go Ape sponsored walk, bucket collections at the Hawth and a ‘Rowathon’ at Ardingly College, amongst others.

We were pleased to once again be a charity partner of Run Gatwick, which in 2022 contracted to a 10k event in Charlwood. Our small but wonderful team of runners raised over £4,000 which was brilliant. The first Crawley Open House-arranged charity feast for many years took place at Tamashah in Crawley, and sold out. We had a delicious meal, a profitable raffle and a fun evening, whilst raising over £1,200.

Our second annual Big Quiz took place at St Wilfrid’s School, and saw 24 teams battle it out for the Karen Kelso trophy, in memory of our dear departed staff colleague. In part thanks to another very well-supported raffle we raised nearly £2,500. We were delighted to support Crawley Pride again. Whilst not a major fundraiser it’s an important community event, and a vital part of being an inclusive Charity to work for and to be involved with in any capacity.

Summary

With uncertainty and austerity prevalent it remains a difficult environment in which to fundraise, and we have to be ever-more creative, proactive and tenacious. We continue to be active on social media to communicate the work of the Charity, and we have invested in software to be able to send out more frequent and more professional newsletters. We are grateful for long-standing relationships with so many across our community, and we continue to encourage the curious to visit and see our work first hand. We work hard prospecting for new sources of income from individuals, companies and Trusts to try and keep a robust pipeline of incoming funds. We are grateful to all those who have helped us get to this point by giving in so many ways — we never take for granted your immense kindness and generosity

Financial position During the year the charity had net incoming resources of £429,615, (2022: £956,375). This high level of net income partly reflects the good level of donations and grants we received. Less positively, it also reflects the difficulties we have had recruiting staff to fill vacancies as we restored services curtailed or stopped because ofCOVID-19.

Reserves policy The charity’s reserves policy takes account of its expanding operations, the way they are funded and the forward-looking risks to that funding. The reserves policy is to hold unrestricted reserves of between three and six months’ projected core expenditure.

As at 31st March 2023, unrestricted funds were £663,000 and projected core expenditure for the financial year 2023-24 is £1,580,000. Reserves are therefore in the middle of the Trustees’ target range. The Trustees consider this to be an appropriate level of reserves given the financial pressures everywhere in the UK economy which are likely to impact both the charity’s income and expenses.

CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

It is the policy of the charity to hald a designated fund to a level representing the value of the occupied property.

As at 31 March 2023, the charity created a new designated fund of £700,000 for the purchase of additional move-on properties. It released most of the designated fund created at 31 March 2022 because of the increase in gas and electricity prices, following the partial reduction in fuel prices during the year. It made smaller adjustments to its other designated funds.

Covid-19

The Trustees have given consideration to the Charities SORP (‘Statement of Recommended Practice’) Committee's advice in its publication ‘Implications of COVID-19 Control Measures and Charity Financial Reporting’ and to the risks arising as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The Charity is actively monitoring and managing the situation as it develops. We have adapted our operations and consider that the Charity has adequate reserves and committed future grants from supportive and solvent funders.

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems are established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

Plans for the Future

Following the success of the Move-On houses it is a key aim to continue to fund the growth of our own houses in the community.

In addition, we will continue to endeavour to reinstate the services that were halted during the Covid-19 pandemic and as always adapt to the “new normal” that we now find ourselves living with.

Structure, governance and management The charity is a company limited by guarantee, does not have share capital and was incorporated on 21 April 1995. The Trustees / Directors are appointed at the annual general meeting or during the year at Trustees' meetings.

Crawley Open House has charitable status and its charity registration number is 1048919.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE

a

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Crawley Open House (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 ofIreland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 28 to the financial statements, 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 Trustees’ 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 charity’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 Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the Trustees’ report; or - sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concem, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to 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

We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit.

In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatements due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit.

However it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud,

In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team made enquiries of management, and those charged with governance, regarding the procedures relating to identifying, evaluating and complying with;

  1. laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance,

  2. detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;

3. the internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;

As a result of these procedures we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements are FRS 102, General Data Protection Regulations, Companies Act, Charities Act 2011, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice and employment law and regulations. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliance, which may have a material impact on the financial statements. These included reviewing financial statement disclosures and evaluating advice received from external advisors. There were no significant laws and regulations we deemed as having an indirect impact on the financial statements.

page 10

CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF CRAWLEY OPEN HOUSE pe

The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls and revenue recognition as the areas where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed in regards to management override included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments and evaluating the rationale in relation to any significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside of the normal course of business. Audit procedures in relation to revenue recognition included but were not limited to a proof in total test on grant income and substantive testing for rental income.

Revenue recognition was also identified as a significant risk which could lead to a material mis-statement due to fraud or error. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to performing walk through tests to identify the control procedures in place and once an understanding of the sales process was gained, a substantive test was carried out using a sample basis to ensure all sales existed and were complete in the accounts. Cut off testing was also performed to ensure sales were recorded in the correct period.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's Trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

a, 1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.5 Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probably that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charitable company’s activities. These costs have been allocated between the different charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 9.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the external auditors fees and legal and professional costs.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold Land is not depreciated.

It has been decided by the Trustees that only items of a value of £1,000 and over will be capitalised as anything smaller is not deemed material.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the Liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a matket rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Oe 1 Accounting policies (Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities ifpayment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

The Charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources, The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Critical judgements

The main judgement and accounting estimates inluded in the accounts are:

Deferral of grant income

Income is recognised when the charity is entitled to the income and this will be based on the work being completed and there is no requirement to repay the grant.

Donated stock

Donated items such as food are recognised in income and expenditure based on their fair value.

Volunteer time

Time given freely to the charity by volunteers is recognised in income and expenditure based on an estimated average hourly rate and total number of hours given by volunteers.
