**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

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 2022. 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 14 employed staff and 18 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. Through our association with the Essex Law Clinic we are also able to offer our Guests a degree of legal guidance. 

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. 

By utilising our own properties, and those we manage on behalf of the Colin Bennett Housing Trust, we provide 'Move-on' accommodation for a significant number of 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 

Given that Covid dominated virtually everything we did in 2020/2021, it is pleasing to report that although Covid continued to impact us throughout 2021/2022, that impact was significantly less than in the previous year. 

By and large, we were able to carry on as normal, other than the times when staff absences due to Covid made it either unsafe or impractical to operate some of our services. 

Having carefully reviewed, and amended, our staffing structure last year, this year was one of consolidation. Unfortunately, one of nurses retired at the end of the year and with her went many, many years of experience working with our homeless cohort. Replacing her with someone suitable has proved more difficult than anticipated but as I write this introduction to the accounts, I am pleased to say we now have a new nurse in place. 

We continue engage the services of a locum GP (1 or 2 hours per week), to support the nurses and also to provide general guidance on medical matters. 

Because we constantly strive to improve the ministry and services provided by Beacon House, we 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.

Beacon House is by no means an island and we could not achieve all we currently do without the help of our volunteers, the partner organisations we work with and those who support us financially - individuals, churches, groups, companies and grant making bodies . I would like to record our grateful thanks to each and every one who has played their part in helping us seek to transform lives through the work of Beacon House. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The financial performance of Beacon House continues to be strong. Income from grants was good during the year but, as expected, individual and group donations were depressed due to the economic situation. 

A surplus of £52,603 was made in the year which included £15,451 from gains on investments. Our policy is to retain free reserves equivalent to six months total operating costs. 

The accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 are set out in pages 6 to 19.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **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 are in the process of reviewing how we use our own accommodation. It has been become very clear, and accepted by all parties, that there is a significant gap in Colchester for homeless people with complex needs (alcohol misuse, drug misuse, mental health) and we are looking at how we can best play our part in rectifying that situation. It is too early to say what the outcome will be but it is likely to include some kind of 24/7 supported accommodation with significant intervention from drug, alcohol and mental health professionals. 

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. 

As planned, we have increased our medical team to cope with the increasing demands being made on our services - and to provide a wider range of medical services than we have done in the past. 

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.

**BEACON HOUSE MINISTRIES** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **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 

- Straight line over 3 years 

Page 9 



**BEACON HOUSE MINISTRIES** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **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.
