REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
As per the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Objects for which the Company was established are:
'The relief of poverty and sickness amongst people who are homeless, or have no permanent accommodation, by the provision, according to Christian principles and faith, of healthcare, counselling and other support services'.
The work at Beacon House started in August 1996 and a team of paid and volunteer workers carry out the functions of the Charity. All staff are committed to the principles of the Christian faith in accordance with the Charity policy. At the end of the year there were 15 employed staff and 25 regular volunteers working at Beacon House. The work was also supported by student placements from Colchester Institute and Essex, Suffolk, and Anglia Ruskin Universities.
The Day Centre and Primary Health Centre are conveniently located on Crouch Street and offer a very wide range of services, tailored to each individual. Healthcare services include two drop-in clinics, vaccinations, nurse consultations, sexual health services, cervical screening and needle exchange. Welfare services include breakfast and hot lunch, tea and coffee throughout the day, a barber, foot care, postal services, a computer suite, showers, laundry facilities, recycled clothing and help with alcoholism and smoking cessation.
Given that our aim is to walk with and empower our Guests on the journey towards self-fulfilled and independent lives, through our Occupational Therapy team (two qualified OT's plus an OT Assistant) we provide help with their personal development which includes life skill training and occupational therapy (both internal and external activities). Full health and wellbeing assessments are also provided using the nationally recognised Outcomes Star programme and this enables our Guests to move forward into healthier and more stable lives.
Beacon House also works very closely with a number of other organisations including Colchester Emergency Night Shelter, Emmaus, NACRO, Sanctuary Housing, Essex Law Clinic, Colchester Food Bank, Phoenix Futures, Alcoholics Anonymous, Colchester Borough Homes, Open Door, Open Road, STaRS and Job CentrePlus. We also interact, as appropriate, with the Police and Probation Service, with whom we enjoy a very good working relationship.
Through our own properties, and those we manage on behalf of the Colin Bennett Housing Trust, we provide 'Move-on' accommodation for up to 21 people.
Public benefit
The directors have regard to the public benefit general guidance issued by the Charity Commission. They believe that the description of the Company's activities in this annual report evidences that those activities carry out the Company's objects for the public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
Developments in the Current Year
Having finished off last year's report by saying it would be incomplete without a comment on Covid, never in our wildest dreams did we believe that Covid would completely dominate the whole of the following year (April 2020 - March 2021).
Although Covid fundamentally changed the way in which we delivered our services, we are delighted to report that, in contrast to many organisations, we were able to continue offering all of our existing services through the year - which meant we could maintain the support for our Guests, whatever their particular needs may have been.
For much of the year we were unable to have Guests inside, but instead became both a take-away and delivery service. Fortunately, we have large windows that open on to a wide pavement, so we were able to serve food and drink through one window, deal with medical issues through another and handle applications (Universal Credit etc) through the third. Many of the rough sleepers were temporarily housed, but often without adequate facilities, so we provided food/drink, medical assistance, TV's, radios, games etc in order to make it possible for them to comply with the 'stay at home' rules.
Although Covid brought with it a whole raft of challenges, there were a number of silver linings within that dark cloud. One of these was the gift of extra time - time which we put to very good use in two key areas.
The first area we explored was the practical layout of, and equipment portfolio within, Beacon House, and asked the question 'Is it fit for purpose, both now and for what we expect the future to bring?'. Following discussions with the relevant staff, and a very positive discussion with a generous funder, we made the required changes in a way that simply would not have been possible if we still had Guests inside the building.
Secondly, we considered our staffing structure - essentially using the same two questions. The outcome was that we made some changes to make us a) more efficient and b) better able to help those in need. Our Occupational Therapy Team was strengthened by redeploying one of our Project Workers as an OT Assistant (and replacing with a new Project Worker) and we employed a Clinic Manager to relieve the pressure from our two nurses and leave them free to concentrate on face to face interaction with patients rather than dealing with administrative tasks. We also added a second Housing Officer as the need, and therefore the job, had simply become too much for one person to deal with.
We also engaged the services of a locum GP (1 hour per week on average), to support the nurses and also to provide general guidance on medical matters.
The changes referred to above made a very positive improvement to the service we offer but, nevertheless, we will continually re-evaluate what we do, and how we do it, in order to ensure the services we offer are relevant to the need as it presents itself at any given time.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The financial performance of Beacon House continues to be strong. Income from grants and donations increased in the year as a result of a wide range of initiatives and this enabled expenditure on important services to be further expanded to vulnerable people in the Colchester area.
A surplus of £130,733 was made in the year which included £30,236 from gains on investments. Beacon House held reserves of £501,434 in Unrestricted Funds and £397,602 in Restricted Funds at 31st March 2021. Our policy is to retain free reserves equivalent to six months total operating costs.
The Trustees are mindful that there could be a significant surge in the number and the needs of homeless people in Colchester as the Government temporary assistance provided in the Covid period unwinds resulting in Beacon House using its resources and reserves to provide considerably more help. Plans to develop and widen the services of Beacon House will be further developed after meeting this expected surge.
The accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 are set out in pages 6 to 19.
Investment policy and objectives
There are no long-term investment policies due to the uncertainty of our funding income. There is an aspiration to grow income and to continue to grow our services, and this policy will continue to be reviewed.
FUTURE PLANS
We live in times that are both challenging and changing. No-one really knows what the homeless landscape is going to look like once things settle down post Covid but one thing we can sadly be sure about is - homelessness has not gone away and shows no signs of doing so in the foreseeable future despite all the government rhetoric and good intentions.
In recognition of the fact that housing people is only part of the story, as well as utilising our Occupational Therapy to work with our Tenant Guests, we have recently introduced afternoon training sessions covering a number of relevant topics, e.g. budgeting, cooking and managing a tenancy.
We are also in the process of expanding our medical team to cope with the increasing demands being made on our services.
Going forward, we will continue to review the need and, where necessary, adapt, our services to meet that changing need and again, where necessary, we will introduce new services where appropriate.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Beacon House is a registered charity and is a company limited by guarantee. As set out in our Memorandum and Articles of Association the Company is managed by its Directors, who determine its functions and policy and act as charity Trustees. Management and direction of routine operations, external relations and income generation is undertaken by the Chief Executive Officer, Steve Brown.
The trustees regularly review the skills, aptitudes and experiences that are required to ensure there is good governance. When vacancies occur, or skill gaps are identified the trustees approach individuals from the community who are known to meet the necessary criteria. There is an application and assessment process, after which new trustees are invited to join the board.
The trustees meet bi-monthly with the CEO to manage the strategic and operational aspects of the charity. Sub-committees, who report back to the main board, are formed where more in depth consideration of specific subjects is required. Trustees are required to visit the charity regularly in order to maintain strong and meaningful relationships with team members.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The directors regularly review the major risks which the Charity faces and confirm that systems are in place to mitigate such risks, supported by regular reporting.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of Investments, which are valued at market value.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants and donations and is included in full when receivable. Gift Aid recoveries on donations from individuals are recognised in the same period as the donation.
Unrestricted grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Restricted grants are recognised on receipt except to the extent where the grant is time related to the delivery of a service in a future period it is carried forward as deferred income.
Government grants received in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic to cover furloughed employees (Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme) are recognised in donations under the normal recognition criteria.
Donated goods are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified, and relates to food etc donated from supermarkets. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these financial statements.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is 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.
Expenditure includes non-recoverable VAT, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company; this includes the preparation and examination of this annual report and financial statements, and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
Support costs are allocated to charitable activities based on floor space and estimated resources used.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - not provided Leasehold property - Period of lease Plant and machinery - 20% on cost Computer equipment
-
Period of lease
-
Straight line over 3 years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Tangible fixed assets
Freehold property consists of residential properties that have been converted by the charity from commercial use and are included at valuation at the time of the conversion. Depreciation is not provided on the freehold buildings as they are required to be maintained to a high standard, resulting in a residual value which would make any depreciation charges immaterial.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
The pension cost is allocated between activities and between restricted and unrestricted funds based on the analysis of the employee cost to which it relates.
Investments
Investments are treated as current asset investments where they are held in readily accessible funds.
Listed investments are stated at market value less provision for any permanent diminution in value.The market value of listed investments is based on the closing middle market price on the London Stock Exchange.The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals throughout the year.
