700 CLUB REPORT tor the Year OFEndedTHE31stTRUSTEESMarch 2025

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 31st March 2025. 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 | January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims The objectives of the Charity are the relief of those persons in Darlington and the surrounding area who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress, including but not limited to the provision of temporary accommodation and social housing. The change in objects into more succinct form was agreed by the Charity Commission in Feb 25.

The overall strategy of the Charity is shaped by its charitable objects and exemplified in the Annual Review.

The primary measure of success within the work of the charity is that individuals make progress towards living independently, without support, in accommodation of their choice. Overcoming the barriers to this includes addressing issues like addiction, anti-social behaviour, and skills deficit. Projects are all presented in the Annual Review.

The Trustees! short-term objective is to maintain and sustain current business by ensuring that funding is in place and that new funding streams are identified. Longer term objectives are set out in the 5-year business plan. Following the success of the Church View Apartments Project, the Trustees are progressing a plan to provide family accommodation that is suitable for those currently in temporary accommodation. They are also exploring expanding the emergency housing provision.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance Charitable activities Please see Annual Review.

Funding is in place to secure all projects in the designated timescale.

No material expenditure was incurred in the work of fundraising. Charitable income is gained using the charity's existing resources.

The charicy has responsibility tor approximately 150 people each day.

Improved housing status translates into improvements in other areas. For example, lower levels of drug/alcohol consumption. greater uptake of treatment services. lower levels of drug related crime, higher levels of public safety, less long-term use of medical services. The organisation has developed specialist skills in working with those experiencing addiction. It is also building a general needs housing provider - hence the change in the Objects Clause referred to above.

All projects have different performance indicators that align with the interests ofthe funder.

Investment performance The charity does not hold any investments.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance Internal and external factors Change of political administration is a risk factor - as change risks adjusting funding priorities. The charity is strongly supported by the current Labour administration and by the Local Authority. Its work is aligned and shaped by the _ priorities laid out in the local Housing Strategy, and has also actively contributed to the national strategy. Its work aligns to the 2021-26 'Community Safety Plan’.

The acquisition of funding, and budgets everywhere, are being squeezed by the ongoing cost-of-living rises. The organisation has managed to negotiate though this, lifting contract levels and, as a result, lifting staff salaries. This has helped to retain staff and maintain all services.

The country is currently experiencing a housing crisis. The number of homeless people has risen significantly, there are high numbers in temporary accommodation, and the private rental sector is shrinking because of increased government legislation and the failure of the buy to let market. Finding accommodation for service users to move to is extremely hard.

Financial review Financial position The charity had a overall surplus of £561,626 for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024 - £335,784). This consisted of a deficit on unrestricted funds of £241,044 (2024 - surplus £200,584) and a surplus of £803,270 (2024 - £135,200) on restricted funds. The total funds available to the charity at the year ended 31 March 2025 was £2.899,813 (2024 - £2,338.187) consisting of £524,493 (2024 - £766,137) ofunresiricied funds and £2.375,320 (2024 - £1.572,050) of restricted funds. The charity is financially strong and is operating with a surplus. The development of Church View Apartments and the revenue it provides give the charity a strong foundation.

Principal funding sources The financial position of the charity has remained stable. Where funding streams have come to an end, new money has been found. Local Authority funding is acquired through public tender. Risk of loss of contract income is minimised by high emphasis on quality ofdelivery. The Board ofTrustees review the company risk register on a regular basis.

Investment policy and objectives The Charity does not have a policy for the selection of investments or for the selection of those who might receive monetary grants out of the assets of the charity.

Reserves policy The 700 Club has a reserves policy. The Board consider that it is prudent to set aside, in reserves, an amount equivalent to three months operating costs calculated and reviewed annually. Only some of the company’s reserves are liquid. Funds in deficit The Charity does not have any funds materially in deficit.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Future plans The Trustees intend to maintain and build upon the current project portfolio, In the current financial year, the charity has progressed the development of 12 units of family accommodation in partnership with Homes England as a way of responding to the needs of those in temporary accommodation. It is also negotiating the potential acquisition of twelve apartments in a single block to use as emergency accommodation.

The charity is moving towards a situation where it is sustainable in the long term. Local Authority contracts have been assigned for the next five years.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

GoverningThe charitydocumentis controlled by its governing document, a deed: of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The 700 Club is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 26 April 1996 and registered as a charity on 17 June 1996. The charitable company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Memorandum and Articles of Association were both amended by Special Resolutions dated 8 January 1998, 10 September 1998, 22 November 2005, 19 February 2015, 14 June 2019 and 2 December 2024.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The 700 Club always welcomes approaches from people interested in joining the Board. The Board members themselves take a proactive approach to recruitment, speaking with people they feel would have something to contribute to the Charity at the Board level. Prospective Board members receive a welcome pack including a full explanation as to how the 700 Club operates and what would be expected of them as a member of the Board. The explanation includes their responsibilities under both the Companies Acts and the Charities Acts.

Prospective Board members start with the 700 Club as formal attendees/co-opted members until the Annual General Meeting takes place and they either become Directors/Trustees or they remain formal attendees/co-opted members because that fits in with their other role(s) and the demands on their time.

700 CLUB Opinion We have audited the financial statements of 700 Club (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities. the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary ofsignificant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements: - give a tue and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, tor 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, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers ofsocial housing in England 2022,

Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Internationa! Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company 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 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 signiticant doubt on the charitable company'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 deseribed 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 Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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.

Tn connection with our audit of the financial statements. our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, comssdes wehecdes ere acres Cerdocnelian fs eatecially facausistent WUh the Lnaacial statements or bur 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 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF 700 CLUB

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 Report of the Trustees. We have nothing to report in respect ofthe following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept or revurns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not Visited by us: or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made: or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. In addition, we have nothing to report in respect of the following matter where the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, 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 trom 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 cither intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our 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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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 trom 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 ofdetecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Assessing and responding to risks of material misstatement due to non -compliance with laws and regulations: We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, and through discussion with key management in their identification and policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.

The identified laws and regulations were shared with the audit team and the team remained alert to indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The charitable company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation. We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant; Employment Rights , Health and Safety at Work, Safeguarding and Pensions legislation, Whilst the charitable company is subject to other laws and regulations. we did not identify any others where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, including going concern.

Page 8

700 CLUB

We undertook a thorough review of the board minutes with a View to identifying any instances of non-compliance. Assessing and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud:

We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur, We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud, we also considered the impact of any business targets, the personal financial circumstances of management and staff to create a driver for fraud. .We identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas; posting of fraudulent journal entries, authorisation, processing, payment of fraudulent expenses and revenue recognition.

Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: - Enquiring of key management as to the procedures and policies to prevent and detect fraud. - Reading board minutes. - Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations. - Testing income, in particular cut off testing, to establish if income has been recorded in the correct period.

The identified fraud risks were shared with the audit team and the team remained alert to indications of fraud throughout the audit. 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.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.lic.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body. in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31st March 2025

  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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’, the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting for Registered Social Housing Providers 2018 (Housing SORP), the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2022, the Companies Act 2006 and 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) (cifective 1 January 2019). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charitable company is private limited by guarantee, incorporated in England. Registration numbers and registered office are listed in the Report of the Trustees, reference and administrative details.

The 700 Club is both a registered charity and a registered social housing landlord and sees both of these areas represented significantly in its activities. In particular, i receives a large amount ofcharitable income.

The charity have departed from the Housing SORP by opting to produce a Statement of Financial Activities under the Charities SORP because it judged this treatment more appropriate in presenting detailed information to the members. To comply with the Housing SORP, in addition to inclusions of a Statement of Financial Activities, a separate Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement of Changes in Funds have been presented in notes 25 and 26. Income Income is generally 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. Exceptions are as follows:Grants Grants relating to revenue are recognised as income on a systematic basis over the period in which the costs associated with the grant are recognised. Grants that are receivable for expenses already incurred are recognised in the period receivable.

Grants for fixed assets are recognised as income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset.

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. 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. 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 - 5% on cost Improvements to property - 15% on cost and 5% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost Page 15 continued...

Healthy Lifestyle Coach - this was funded by Healthwatch Darlington and County Durham Community Foundation.

Begging/Street Outreach Initiative - alongside meeting the needs of those who beg, we are also seeking to ask members of the public to think before giving money; and act of generosity can be very destructive if the money is used to buy drugs or causes people to stay out on the street in sub-zero temperatures, putting their health at risk, in anticipation ofgetting easy money. New Project Development Fund - funds from the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities for acquiring properties to house clients with specific difficulties.

Household Support Fund - government funding was given to 700 Club as a holding organisation. Funding paid to people in need and crisis in Darlington either by ourselves or partner organisations - assistance given in the form of vouchers. Darlington Connect - funds trom NHS to set up a central hub to sign post those in need to services. In this respect 700 Club is a holding organisation only.

The charity offers a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The total employers contribution paid and due in the year to 31 March 2025 was £1 6.740 (2024 - £14.807).

  1. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES During the year one trustee was an employee of a related Local Authority. another trustee was employed by a related building society and another was employed by a company that provided professional services during the year. All transactions were made at arm's length on commercial terms and the individuals are not able to use their position to their commercial advantage.
