Comment from the Chair of the Board of Trustees As we come to the end of the financiaLyear. we reflect on a vast body of work, challenges and successes for the people of our community and for the Booth Centre. With the milestone of our 30th anniversary around the corner in 2025, we continue to grow, to thrive and to demonstrate our strategic relevance. It is a sorry refLection on the problems life throws at us that demand for our service continues to grow, with increased footfalL of more than 53% year on year. The Local Authority has had to introduce further cutbacks in spending. as imposed by Central Government, set against a national backdrop of strikes. a continued cost-of- living crisis and fluctuating infLation. Amidst all these challenges, the people of the Booth Centre continue to achieve and to make a real difference to ourwider community. Coproduction remains one of our founding principles. driving our approach to partnership working. A significant piece of coproduced work carried out this past year is the renewing of our Strategic Aims. This strategy was developed by aLI the people accessing the service. volunteers. team members and trustees, working together. resulting in a genuinely coproduced document. which is both ambitious and inclusive. We enter new territory here, with lobbying & campaigning as an agreed strategic aim for the Booth Centre. This has historicaLly been an area we have worked in collaboratively: however, we now have a clear mandate to amplify the voice of the Booth Centre community. seeking policy and systems change. After 8 years as both a serving member ofthe Board and as Chair of the Board ofTrustees, it is time for me to leave the Board and pass the mantle to my successor. Robin Lawler, wishing him every success. l am sad to leave the Centre but I'm very proud to have led the Board of Trustees. working cLoselywith PauL Newcombe (CEO) and Kate Mcsweeney (Deputy CEO) and an organisation that works tirelessly in pursuit of equality, inclusion and for the betterment of anyone marginalised by poverty.
THE BOOTH CENTRE I feel passionately about human rights, and this passion is reflected in the work of the Booth Centre and in the spirit of the Booth Centre community. I remain committed to the Booth Centre and will continue to offer my support in any way I can goingforward, as we face another year of challenges ahead. Sincerely Elena Fowler Chair of the B08rd of Trustees, March 2024

As part of their governance function. our Management Committee considers the effectiveness of our objectives and activities and the positive impact they have on the people we support. trate Introduction.. We have developed our new strategy over the past 2 years. collaboratively with people who come to the Centre, the team and our Trustees. This strategy aims to provide us with a road map for our work from April 2024-April 2026. Our experience over the past three years tells us that the cause, effects and impact of homelessness, poverty and social exclusion evolve quickly, often driven by things out of our sphere of direct influence and control. To better respond to this. we are guided by two key principles: isio ion&
THE BOOTH CENTRE A dynamic approach which allows us to fully review progress at 2 years or to extend by a year (+1). Sufficient flex to respond to emerging opportunities and problems, with the requisite capacity to allow for delivery and development of the plan. The strategy covers a 2-year period initialLy, with the option to comprehensively review at the end of that period orto extend it by a year, if the delivery plan and demand require it. Some elements of the delivery plan are yet unknown as emerging opportunities and problems WILI arise during the lifetime of the strategy; new financial years and budget setting for funders are obvious factors. National Context." 2023 saw homelessness at its highest. The number of homeless people in England hit record leveLs. with 104,510 people in England in temporary accommodation (Richardson, 2023). An estimated 3,898 people sLept rough in England in 2023, over doubLe the estimated figure from 2010 (Department.. for Levelling Up,. yuSIng and Cominunities, 2023). Recent research from Shelter (2023) provides a picture of increasing numbers of people at risk of experiencing homelessness. with 279,000 in temporary accommodation (TA) with 47 % of those housed in TA having been there for overtwo years. Nationallythere are over 20,000 in supported housing with often limited or reduced move on to more permanent accommodation opportunities. The increasing demand for support is pushing many councils to breaking point, with a further 87.510 reported to have approached their local council for support: 42,690 of these were found to be already homeless while 35.760 were found to be at risk of becoming homeless within the next 8 weeks. The new Labour government has promised to scrap no-fault evictions immediately and reform the private rented sector. Labour have said they WILI reinstate compulsory house buildingtargets for local councils. as part of plans to build 1.5 milLion new homes within five years {ITUL24). These are positive commitments to make. and we hope they have impact on the Lives of individuals experiencing homelessness. Local Context." Outside of London, Luton is the locaL authority with the highest rates of homelessness with 1 in 64 people homeless. foLlowed by Birmingham and Manchester. where 1 In 71 are homeless and Hastings where 1 in 79 are homeless (l2Q23>. In February 2024, Salford Council said it had 291 people waiting to access A Bed Every Night emergency accommodation. The scheme expanded its provision to almost 800, but the demand is stiLI higher than what is available. The leader of Manchester City CounciL reported to the BBC that they wrote to the government requesting an urgent meeting to deal with the growing crisis" during that time (&RQ24). Both nationally and locally we have seen an increase in homeless presentations: those considered to be statutory homeless and those having to sleep outside on a sofa or a floor.
THE BOOTH CENTRE In Greater Manchester. approximately 5000 peopLe in TA which is an increase of 13.9% on the previous year, this has risen each quarter over the Last 12 months for all boroughs ofthe city region. The numberof households at risk of imminent homelessness or already homeless, across Greater Manchester. sits at 6.046. Strategic Aims 2024- 2026 +1..

Our Strategic Aims will be our focus from 2024 to 2026. with the opportunity to extend another year before we review. throughout this period we aim for initiatives to be implemented in a measured way. This approach requires us to be flexible and dynamic but will also allow us to respond to an everchanging environment. ffe tth Boo in Our Unique Offer: For 30 years, we have served our community in Manchester with respect, integrity and dedication, appLying our knowledge and skills in areas including homelessness and housing, employment and financial inclusion. trauma-informed Practice, mental and physical weLlbeing. social connections. coproduction and supporting migrants. This work takes place in our community within the structure of our dynamic, ever-evolving service offer. Throughout our existence as an open-door service, we have provided a
THE BOOTH CENTRE place where people who are marginalised in society. can be seen and valued, can contribute and thrive. We have been able to create a unique space in Manchester, offering an environment where people can access specialist support in a pLace where they feel safe. welcome and included. We are particularly proud of the unique offer we provide. where migrants can access both immigration and homelessness support at one drop-in Location. aLongside British Citizens. This has enabled us to build a respectful and diverse community space. We pride ourselves on and are committed to coproduction in all we do and continue to spearhead this approach - making sure the voice of actual experience is heard this is what makes us unique. Homelessness Prevention Focus: We have redoubled our efforts in delivering homelessness prevention work at the Booth Centre. through our newlyformed 'Community Hub,. with the recruitment of an inhouse Prevention Coordinator. alongwith an Employment & Financial Inclusion Projectworker, a Restricted EligibiLity Floating Support Worker, a ResettLement Worker and an Inclusion Coordinator. This means that we are collectively providing over 200 hours a week on prevention focused work. Our newly established external referral process means we can provide support to people who may not be accessing the Booth Centre. extending our scope and reach. Job Centres, Hospital Discharge Teams. other day services and support seNices, can refer directLy in. We will be continuingwith the embedding of our comprehensive offer to alL stakeholders across the city. With the aim of tackling homelessness in the city head on, complimenting statutory services and in partnership with other VCSE senrfices, to create a more joined up, network approach to working. More recently we have started to actively engage other key Local Authorities, notable Salford to better understand and work with what can be a transient population across boundaries and ensure theirteams can refer into and access our wider offer. This work has senior political and Executive support and is progressing well and at pace. The monies we receive from the Manchester City Council Homelessness Prevention Grant are aligned with our other resources, funding streams. charitable income and reserves, so that we can deliver a robust and rounded prevention service to the citizens of Manchester and beyond. We work under the commitment to refer and recognise that the statutoryfunction of Homelessness Prevention lies with the local authority. Community Hub: The support delivered is person-led. asset-based and has no fixed time limit. To reduce the impact of homelessness on the individuaL. services and the wider community, we believe a variety of opportunities to prevent homelessness should be widely accessible and offered in a dignified way. The aim is to establish and grow upstream pathways into the community to significantly reduce sofa surfing, street homeLessness. faiLed
10 THE BOOTH CENTRE tenancies and repeat presentations. The dedicated, specialist team who deliver the Community Hub homelessness prevention support at the Booth Centre aims to support each person faced with any threat to their housing security. Areas of focus through the Community Hub are: Preventlon Coordination The Community Hub support offer is accessible via an online referralform which can be completed as a seLf-referral or by a supporting agency. The Prevention Coordinator's role includes the triage of the external referrals as well as the communication to partners across Manchester as to what the Community Hub aims to provide. The role is also responsible for the triage of internal referrals into the project through the Signposting Hub and other aspects of the Booth Centre's offer. Referrals to the project results in the offer of specific support from the appropriate part of the project to achieve the best outcome for the individual and aims to prevent their homelessness. The role also offers support to individuals who are presenting with an immediate need to prevent homelessness, which can be resolved with Little delay. Employment & Financial Inclusion Alongside our Employment and SkilLs activities, the Employment and FinanciaL Inclusion role focuses on homelessness prevention interventions. A main area of the support offered through this aspect ofthe Community Hub is to workwith individuals to maximise their income. This might be through gaining employment. building skills with the aim to gain employment. the management of benefits. support with managing debt and budgeting. Individuals referred to the Community Hub who have identified Employment and FinanciaL Inclusion as an area of support they require will be offered 1-1 support tailored to their needs as well as ongoing access to the Activities Programme and specialist visiting agencies. We work cLosely with partner agencies to ensure we offer a variety of opportunities for learning, employment and financial maximisation. This may be through referraLs to special agencies. through an activity session or directly via the Signposting Hub. We relaunched our Job Club and Skills Sessions this year. with new recording mechanisms for outcomes and taiLored support for the individual. We have also made additions to our visiting agencies. with Standing Tall now offering support on- site each week and Support to Succeed visiting monthly. Resettlement People accessing the Community Hub may be looking to move to a permanent home as a move-on option from temporary or supported accommodation. without these move-on options people regularly find themselves faced with eviction. Our resettlement support offers opportunities for people to source long term homes in social housing and the private rented sector. The Resettlement role aLso offers ongoing support for the person to settle into their new home. ensuring utiLities are set-up, benefits are in order and support for the person to become integrated into their new area. all of which helps to maintain their tenancy and prevent a return to homelessness. 10
11 THE BOOTH CENTRE Inclusion The Inclusion project is a package of support delivered by our Inclusion Coordinator. From our experience we regularly see people who struggle to maintain their accommodation and access to serrfices due to behaviours. mental ill heaLth. and substance misuse. The Inclusion Project is designed to support people to prevent their homelessness through addressing the issues they face. This is delivered through group work. co-design, links with specialist services, chalLenging and addressing aggressive behaviour and 1-1 support sessions. This is a new, innovative. coproduced project and is being shared with seniices across the country as a guide to best practice. This year we have developed a training programme with people who come to the Centre for local poLice off icers in how to best protect and seNe people experiencing homelessness in the community. This session has been delivered twice with an excellent response. Restricted Eliglbility Floating Support The Restricted Eligibility Support Senlice (RESS} is a project delivered in partnership between Booth Centre, Boaz Trust and Greater Manchester Immigration Aid Unit. The floating support is offered by Boaz Trust and Booth Centre. with our Restricted Eligibility Floating Support Worker focusing on supporting European Nationals with restricted eligibiLity. This role offers bespoke support to individuals who are experiencing homelessness or are at risk of it due to their immigration status. offering direct links to immigration support as well as everything else the Booth Centre offers. The homelessness prevention support eLement offered by the Booth Centre's RESS Floating Support can, for example, to help European nationals find and maintain employment (if their immigration statusallows). access support around substance misuse and discover any eligibility they may have through specialist advice. Year 2 funding for the project has now been confirmed. Quality Signposting & VisitingAgencies: Our work demonstrates the importance of quality signposting and customer seNice, we have a group of dedicated voLunteers from the community and student social workers. Each year we host 10 Social Work and master's students from Manchester Met and Salford Uni. all on 12 weeks pLacements. We induct our Community Volunteers and Students thoroughly, enabling them to have person centred. strengths-based conversations with people who come to the Booth Centre. These conversations enable us to help people empower themselves by providing up-to date information and a safe environment in which to tackle the issues they may be facing. This team also supports people to access any support they feel necessary and if a person makes the decision to leave Manchester. works to reconnect people to friends and family in the UK or Europe. We are also able to directly link people into our Community Hub homeLessness prevention support team.

Community Cafe: Our Community Cafe is a welcoming place to be. to thrive & connect with others. It provides a relaxed social eating environment, which goes a long way to combating loneliness, allowing friendships and memories to be made. Poor nutrition is a common factor of poverty.

We regularly provide a space for a variety of organisations to hold discussion groups. people who come to the Centre are involved in these meetings and contribute directly towards strategic change. We also initiate sessions with people who come to the Centre ourselves. either to discuss and evaluate the seniice we offer at the Centre or to share ideas and evaluate projects across Manchester and Greater Manchester. The staff team and people at the Centre are key partners in a range of action groups, including that of the Manchester Homelessness Partnership. reguLarLy contributing within meetings and regarded as a place of best practice for coproduction and seNice delivery.

Manchester's Homelessness Partnership Advisory Financial review The Trustees prepare and plan financial forecasts for the following two years to ensure adequate funding is availabLe to achieve the aims of the organisation. Our total income for the year end 31st March 2024 was £945,396 compared to £767,151 in 2023. This was an increase of £178.245 (23.2%). Total expenditure amounted to £1.044,663, a decrease of £148,009 (12.40/0) on 2023 expenditure of £1.192.672 Our total unrestricted reserves at 31 st March 2024 stand 8t £199.305 which equates to 2 months of total running costs in 2023-24. Investment powers and policy Our Reserves policy sets out the parameters for any investment powers. These have never been initiated and its unlikelytheywill. We Reviewour Reserves Policy and re adopt it at each AGM. We invest considerable time workingwith trustees to ensure the policy is central to our financial viability assessments. 14
15 THE BOOTH CENTRE Reserves policy and going concern The balance held in unrestricted reseNes at 31" March 2024 was £199.305 of which £184,247 are free reserves. after aLlowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets. The Trustees consider that the unrestricted funds adequately meet the policy of maintaining suff icient reserves to arrange an orderly run down of the service if a decision is made to close the charity. Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure. The policy of the Trustees is that suff icient of the charity's reserves shall be retained so that. in the event of a decision to close the Centre. funds are available to meet redundancy costs and to arrange an orderly run down of the sep4ice over a period of twelve months. We aim to maintain our reserves at this leveL because less than 10% of our income is confirmed at the start of the financiaL year. The vast majority of our income comes from one-off donations and one-off grants (including from the Local authority) and, as such, our funding is at significant risk each year. Risk management The Trustees have a risk management strategy which is reviewed quarterly by the Strategic Subgroup and includes a review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity faces; the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. This work has identified that financial sustainability is always going to be a priority to avoid any financial risk to the charity. This is managed by regular review of the charity's management accounts by our Finance Sub-committee together with regular review of our Fundraising Strategy against pre-determined targets by our Fundraising Sub- Committee. We manage risk through formal mechanisms and also through a more dynamic process. Primarily risk is the managed via aLI subgroups with clear escalation protocols around thresholds e.g. financial and income not meeting budget projections by 10%. The Strategy Risk and Audit subcommittee has a more focused responsibility detailed in the terms of reference which includes oversight of the organizational Risk Matrix. Other key mechanisms incLude: Risk and mitigation as a heading on all internal and trustee reports. Monthly management accounts (and projections) with narrative from the CEO distributed monthly. Bottom-up budget management and budget development processes. 6-month budget review. Annual budget stress testing workshop with exec and trustees. Internal audit framework of key areas. Safeguarding reassurance report annually to Trustees
16 THE BOOTH CENTRE A suite of policies, procedures and protocoLs with a review framework agreed by Trustees to ensure compliance. FRA with oversight by CEO and The Facilities Manager. Project Management framework with initial scoping and sign off phases so that there's oversight on all activities that could present financial and or risk reputation impact. Plans for Future Periods We recognise thatthe financial environment continues to be challengingfor all, incLuding our statutory partners. We have a refreshed strategy that clearly identifies actions and activities. We have developed a proportionate review and monitoring framework that incLudes aLI key stakeholders with center visitors, trustees and staff sitting central. Through controls on expenditure and focus on income we will continue to deLiver on our Reserrfes Policy commitment of investing back into reserves over the next three years by generating operating surpLuses. We will continue to engage and work in close partnership with Manchester City Council (MCC) and Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA)whilst focusing on developing reLationships with Salford City Council, Rochdale CounciL and Oldham. We will further develop our expertise and service offer in three areas. Prevention - be seen as best in class in relation to homeless prevention activities in community settings. Asylum, Immigration and Restricted eligibiLity (NRPF). win the upcoming GMCA contract and further develop services in this area. Build on being awarded Living Well Funds and look at more opportunities for hosting or delivering community mental health services. We WILI review our activity plans and look at a fundamental shift in both delivery and impact. Carry out two Lobbying and influencing Campaigns with impact. Structure, governance and management The Booth Centre was established as a charitabLe trust, constituted by a trust deed, on 181h April 1997 and on 1" June 1997 the Trust took over the running of The Boot Centre.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit. and consequently no opinion is given &s to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out below.
