Chair’s introduction

Chair’s Introduction 2022-2023 Accounts

This has been a very positive year for Emmaus UK. The previous year’s strategic review and consultation across the federation has led to clarity, decisions, and action. There is now a much stronger foundation for the ambitious plans for the next few years. We are pleased to report that:

Raising enough income is never going to be easy. This year we started to see some fluctuations in income due to the impact of the cost-of-living crisis. However, crucially, we are pleased that we have been able to increase grants to local communities and groups. This has included:

Looking forward to next year, an updated delivery plan has been prepared and the exciting plans contained within this are set out in the Trustees report. There is more to do and an ever-increasing need for the services and support that Emmaus delivers. We are confident that with the changes we are making at Emmaus UK we will be better placed now and, in the future, to meet that demand.

Finally, I have been Chair since April and want to end by paying tribute to those who have gone before and the many who have welcomed and embraced change. Thanks too to those who have recently joined. It is invidious to name names, but I will. Thank you, Sue, Katrina and Charlotte, and the many more.

Best wishes

Jill Garner, Chair of Trustees, Emmaus UK

Trustees Report

About Emmaus

Emmaus is an international movement of grassroots organisations set up to fight poverty. There are over 400 local Emmaus groups located in over 40 different countries. All groups run income generating activities with people who have experienced social exclusion. There are education centres, women’s rights groups, farming, agricultural and much more.

In the UK, Emmaus is a homelessness charity with a difference. We don’t just offer a bed for the night, we offer a home for as long as someone needs it, as well as meaningful work in our social enterprises and a sense of belonging.

About Emmaus UK

Emmaus in the UK is a federation which means each local Emmaus group is its own registered charity with its own staff team and trustees. Emmaus UK was set up to unify and support the UK federation and make our impact more than the sum of our individual parts.

At Emmaus UK (EUK), we work alongside the 33 local Emmaus groups to help them support companions and their local communities. We help them to realise their ambitions by providing national, strategic support that amplifies their local impact and supports their staff and trustees. We do this by offering specialist expertise, services, guidance, and financial support. Emmaus UK also acts as the UK representative of Emmaus International.

The EUK team is currently split into three functions:

Emmaus UK also provides financial support to member organisations, through a range of loan and grant funds. These were categorised in the financial year to 30 June 2023 as follows:

Like any federal body, most of Emmaus UK’s work is focused on supporting the federation of Emmaus charities in the UK to realise their potential. This year much of our work has been focused on planning for the future, ensuring Emmaus is in the strongest possible position to handle the challenges that lie ahead.

Fundraised Income

Gifts from individual donors continue to be the largest source of income for Emmaus UK, through donations in response to direct marketing, regular giving via direct debit and gifts in wills. We saw some fluctuations in response to individual appeals as a result of the cost-of-living crisis and competing demands on donor resources, however we are heartened by our supporters commitment to the Emmaus mission and have seen an increase in digital giving. We continue to receive generous support from Trusts and Foundations which enable specific areas of Federation development work, and this year has also seen an increase in corporate giving, thanks to a number of successful multilevel corporate partnerships who have in particular funded a wide range of sustainability and environmental efficiency initiatives at communities through the Environment fund.

The Coming Year

We know the coming year is going to be tough for so many people and Emmaus will not be immune to the continued impact of the cost-of-living crisis, which will not only increase our own costs but is also likely to place increased demand on our services and potentially reduce the donations our

generous supporters are able to give. As ever, our priority will be to do everything we can to support those who need it most and we will aim to deliver this through our new strategic plan.

We have prepared a comprehensive delivery plan which sets out our ambitions for 2023/24 and beyond. This has been developed with the intention that this build on the progress and achievements being made by Emmaus UK and the Federation. The Key strategic objectives of that plan are:

• Becoming a best practice national body and employer of choice

We will deliver a People and EDI strategy in consultation with colleagues and the Board ensuring our approach reflects best practice and colleagues feel valued and empowered to deliver high quality services across the Federation.

We will remain focused on working with the Board, Committees and colleagues to improve standards, reporting, risk management, financial planning and reserves management, to ensure the support and services provided by Emmaus UK to members are of the highest quality and achieve impact.

• Diversifying our fundraising sources and increase fundraised income.

Developing our cross functional Fundraising and Communications strategy for 2023-2027 to identify key opportunities for improvement and growth across fundraising streams, phased over the strategic cycle and closely linked with digital and communications strategies. This will include tactical plans for new business development in Trusts, Foundations and Corporates, a Federation wide Legacy strategy, a supporter acquisition review and plan and more to be determined through the strategy development process.

• Helping more people

We will continue to explore, test and evaluate new activities/models of delivery to enhance the work of Emmaus, developing new approaches and activities in response to identified needs. There will be an increased focus on external partnership development including ongoing development of potential partnerships identified during 2022/23.

• Working smarter

Continuing to develop a quality framework and assurance process for full roll-out across the Federation along with the Theory of Change, Client Management Systems and Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning systems.

Working with charity retail and social enterprises to develop alternative enterprises.

• Shouting louder

Focusing on the development of Development of National and Regional communications strategy, reflective of federation priorities and raising the profile of Emmaus across the UK.

Evolving the Emmaus Brand including the tone and visuals and developing brand consistency alongside a review of regional communications services.

The trustees who are also directors of Emmaus UK (The Charity) for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2023. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document, the requirements of a directors’ report as required under company law, and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

Financial review

The total income for the year was £2,647,251 (2022: £2,911,596), including restricted income of £286,855 (2022: £294,528). The principal funding sources for the year were donations from direct marketing, legacies, grants from trusts and foundations and funds raised through corporate partnerships.

Total expenditure was £2,980,835 (2022: £2,627,572). This was higher than last year with additional grants to communities following the ending of the various covid support funds.

The community and enterprise investment loan fund received loan repayments from members of £9,400 (2022: £53,200). No new loans were issued (2022: £310,000).

Reserves policy and going concern.

The present level of funding is adequate to support the Charity’s activities, and the trustees consider the financial position of the Charity to be satisfactory. As set out below, there are no concerns about the charity’s ability to continue on a going concern basis with no deficit on unrestricted funds.

Restricted funds are only used for the purposes of expenditure set out by the donor and any reclassifications can only be made with the express permission of the donor.

The trustees consider that three months operating costs should be held as ‘free reserves’ as a contingency measure in case of unforeseen emergency situations such as disaster recovery or any other large scale adverse events. The target level set is £583,122 (2022: £648,577) which is calculated from 3 months of the operating costs included within the 2023/24 budget. It is our policy that the amount provided in ‘general funds’ within Note 18 reflects this target.

The actual level of free reserves is £571,642 (2022: £640,097) as shown in Note 17. This level of free reserves is consistent with the target level held within general funds.

After providing for our required level of free reserves, the Charity allocates funds to cover amounts paid and committed to the Community and Enterprise Investment Loan Fund (formerly Emmaus Fund) as well as funds in direct support of members of the federation. On 30 June 2023 the Community and Enterprise Investment Loan Fund stood at £997,740 (2022: £1,112,470) of which £669,470 (2022: £678,869) is on loan to communities.

The remainder is available for allocation in the form of financial support to members, subject to receipt of qualifying applications and any future developments of Emmaus UK. The Federation funds are noted above in this report and the funds balance is £1,121,104. Funds made available for future developments across the Federation total £878,211.

Full information on the funds is provided in Note 18 of the accounts.

Investments policy and returns

Under the Articles of Association, the Charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that savings and deposit accounts meet their requirements that the investments are secure and at the competitive market rates. The trustees consider the return on investments achieved during the year to be satisfactory in the current economic climate and that chosen banks have a good reputation and rating.

The Community and Enterprise Investment loan fund is established to support Emmaus communities to grow, implement change or develop, with a clear focus on reaching financial sustainability.

For the year ended 30 June 2023

The Investment Committee, replaced by the Funds Allocation Committee in July 2023, is responsible for the governance of the major loan and grant-making funds held by Emmaus UK (‘EUK Funds’), ensuring that decision-making around the distribution of funds and subsequent monitoring is appropriately independent, consistent and transparent. This committee is also responsible for the governance of loans made by Emmaus UK’s social investment partners, providing independent due diligence and appropriate monitoring on their behalf .

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and Public Benefit’.

Trustees and individual liability insurance covers up to £500,000 of liability.

Fundraising

The majority of Emmaus UK’s fundraising income is generated via individual giving. Emmaus UK primarily uses media inserts and direct mail to recruit and maintain a database of individual donors, as well as generating income from sponsored challenge events, regular giving (via direct debits and standing orders) and from gifts left as legacies.

Mutually beneficial and multi-dimensional corporate partnerships provide significant revenue for key projects, but also deliver strategically through non-financial support from corporates for Emmaus UK and federation members. Grants from Trusts and Foundations continue be an important part of Emmaus UK’s income profile.

Third parties including copywriters and commercial printers are used to produce and distribute materials by the most efficient and cost-effective means. Any third parties working with Emmaus UK on its fundraising activities are subject to due diligence before they begin delivering work. This includes ensuring data protection controls are in place, seeking references and conducting tender processes.

Emmaus UK is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to the Code of Fundraising Practice which the regulator maintains. Emmaus UK also maintains and publishes an Ethical Fundraising Policy which sets out the approach to transparent and honest fundraising practice, including how donors are contacted, how donor data is protected, how vulnerable people are protected and how to feed back or make a complaint. Alongside the Ethical Fundraising Policy, the Vulnerable Persons Policy also details the approach to protecting vulnerable people within Emmaus UK’s fundraising activities.

Emmaus UK received no fundraising-related complaints for year ending 30 June 2023.

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20 August 1997 and registered as a charity on 18 September 1997.

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 8 to the accounts.

The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity in England and Wales. Its governing documents are its Articles of Association, Rules and Byelaws. The Board and Emmaus UK act as a focus for members of the federation to enable them to work together in pursuit of the movement’s stated aims and objectives, whilst at the same time functioning as independent, selfsupporting and sustaining communities.

The Charity’s principal objectives, as set out in its Articles of Association, are the alleviation and relief of poverty, hardship and distress for those in need, without distinction, by:

The Charity supports the federation, the full members of which elect its Board of Trustees. The Board may co-opt up to four additional trustees. Most of the Charity's elected trustees must be trustees or employees of full members, and, prior to the AGM, all members are invited to make nominations

for new trustees. When choosing trustees for co-option, the Board considers the need for any specialist skills. New trustees are provided with an induction pack, the contents of which include the governing documents, the current federation and Emmaus UK plans, recent financial information and other relevant policies. They are also invited to attend an induction day where they are briefed on their obligations under company and charity law as well as the activities of Emmaus UK. Those who have not already done so are encouraged to visit several members of the federation - both communities and groups. Ongoing training is given to trustees in line with the requirements of the Charities SORP.

The trustees are responsible for providing direction, strategy and governance to the charity. Responsibility for the implementation of this guidance is delegated to the Chief Executive. Following a thorough governance review a newly implemented committee structure helps to increase the Board's effectiveness.

Appointment of trustees

The board has, and regularly considers, the mix of skills, knowledge and experience it needs to govern, lead and deliver the charity’s purposes effectively. It reflects this mix in its trustee appointments, balancing the need for continuity with the need to refresh the board. The constitution allows for regular refreshing of the board but also enables the board to retain needed skills. There is a formal, rigorous and transparent procedure to appoint new trustees to the board, which includes advertising vacancies widely. Trustees are appointed for fixed 3 years term and may serve no more than 9 years in total.

Membership of Board and committees (as at 30 June 2023)

In January 2022, the EUK Board commissioned an external governance review. Over the summer of 2022, the EUK Board was provided with several recommendations to ensure our governance arrangements provide maximum benefit. The first set of recommendations looked at strengthening our board with external trustee recruitment, including a new Chair, Treasurer and committee chairs. The next step of recommendations was around developing the governance structure to be more effective and increasing companion and federation member representation. Both these of these recommendations were explored with new arrangements agreed and in place in June 2023.

Emmaus UK Board

The Board of Trustees governs Emmaus UK and is the ambassador for the federation and its members, safeguarding and promoting, both internally and externally, the values, mission, vision and strategic aims of Emmaus in the UK. The Emmaus UK Board is made up of trustees elected by the federation members and those independent to the UK Emmaus Federation, elected by trustees.

The new committee structure took effect from 01 July 2023 and consists of an Audit & Risk Committee, a Companion Committee, a Funds Allocation Committee, a Federation Committee, a

Finance & Fundraising Committee and a People & EDI Committee. The new structure increases delegated authority and remit and strengthens federation and companion representation.

For the year under review, the following governance structure was in place.

Operations Committee

The role of the Operations Committee was to oversee and review the work of the federation of Emmaus communities and groups in the UK, on behalf of the Emmaus UK Board, to ensure that its members demonstrated strength, quality, operated in line with good practice and were working together to achieve the federation’s strategic objectives. Committee membership consisted of members from the UK Emmaus Federation.

Investment Committee

The role of the Investment Committee was to govern the Emmaus Funds and to ensure that decisionmaking around the distribution of funds and subsequent monitoring was appropriately independent, consistent and transparent. Committee membership consisted of members from the UK Emmaus Federation and those with relevant skills independent to the UK Emmaus Federation.

Resources Committee

The Resources Committee existed to manage and oversee the financial and human resources of Emmaus UK, the Charity, on behalf of the Emmaus UK Board. Within this remit it ensured that the Charity: adopted appropriate and effective human resource policies in the employment of its staff; effectively managed and monitored its financial resources and adopted appropriate strategies in relation to fundraising and finance; and had the capacity to deliver the annual office plan that delivers the federation strategic plan. It also recommended to the board the annual budgets (including the staff and remuneration budgets) and reviewed the annual objectives and performance of the CE. Committee membership consists of members from the Emmaus UK Board.

Audit, Risk and Governance Committee

The main role of the Audit, Risk and Governance Committee was to ensure that the charity adopted appropriate and effective frameworks for robust internal control, audit and risk management, as well as maintaining high levels of good governance and scrutinising performance in these key areas. Committee membership consisted of members from the UK Emmaus Federation and those with relevant skills independent to the UK Emmaus Federation.

Related parties and relationships with other organisations

As listed above and as stated in articles many Emmaus UK’s Trustees are also members of staff or Trustees of Emmaus communities or groups. There are no additional relationships between the charity and related parties including its subsidiary undertakings, and with any other charities and organisations with which it cooperates in the pursuit of its charitable objectives.

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 significant doubt on Emmaus UK'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 trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for

To the members of

Emmaus UK

the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

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 trustees’ annual report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees’ responsibilities set out in the trustees’ annual report, 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 from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

19

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2D76DE76-9CC2-4E34-8984-EBAFD52E779D

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Emmaus UK

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 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

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.

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 of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below.

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities

In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following:

20

DocuSign Envelope ID: 2D76DE76-9CC2-4E34-8984-EBAFD52E779D

Independent auditor’s report

To the members of

Emmaus UK

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.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: 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 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 auditor’s 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.

Emmaus UK

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2023

Emmaus UK is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office address (and principal place of business) is Unit 302 Scott House, The Custard Factory, Gibb Street, Birmingham, B9 4AA.

b) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP FRS 102), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy or note.

In applying the financial reporting framework, the trustees have made a number of subjective judgements, for example in respect of significant accounting estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The nature of the estimation means the actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Any significant estimates and judgements affecting these financial statements are detailed within the relevant accounting policy below.

The accounts are prepared as full values however are presented to the nearest £1. This may cause small discrepancies in the financial statements.

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

d) Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. This is discussed in the trustees' annual report.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Solidarity grant income is the repayment of grants given to groups and communities when they are in the process of developing. The income is paid into the Emmaus Fund to be re- distributed to groups and communities as a grant or loan.

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised so refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated gifts, professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

g) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank. In exceptional circumstances when a loan is converted to a grant, any outstanding interest will be written of at conversion date.

Emmaus UK

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2023

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

The designated Emmaus Fund is held for payments to be made in the future to Emmaus groups and communities, to support Emmaus International movement and development projects at Emmaus UK. The trustees have the power to reallocate such funds within unrestricted funds. Note 18 provides detail on the balances of the designated funds.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

j) Grants payable

Grants payable are made to third parties in furtherance of the charity's objects. Single or multi-year grants are accounted for when either the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and the trustees have agreed to pay the grant without condition, or the recipient has a reasonable expectation that they will receive a grant and that any condition attaching to the grant is outside of the control of the charity. Emmaus UK operates three grants funds: Companion room expansion grants, formerly known as 25th Anniversary Grants, used to increase number of bed spaces across Emmaus communities. Capacity Development Grant, former Legacy fund, used to expand business opportunities. Grants may be funded over varying periods of time, therefore cost and progress is monitored on continuous bases by the Investment Committee. The companion training fund is direct support for companions request for learning and necessary tools to move on.

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.

All support and governance costs are allocated to the charitable activity.

Governance costs are the costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity. These costs are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements and include any costs associated with the strategic management of the charity’s activities.

Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Items of equipment are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £500. Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities. Assets are reviewed for impairment if circumstances indicate their carrying value may exceed their net realisable value and value in use. Major components are treated as a separate asset where they have significantly different patterns of consumption of economic benefits and are depreciated separately over its useful life.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows:

 Leasehold improvements 4 years straight line

 Office furniture and equipment 4/5 years straight line

 Computers 3 years straight line  Motor vehicles 4 years straight line

Notes to the financial statements

For the year ended 30 June 2023

n) Social investments

The Community Investment and Enterprise Loan fund, previously called The Emmaus Fund, is a loan-making fund with the intention of providing funds to support communities to change, grow or survive. Priority is given to communities that are expressly working towards financial self-sustainability. The Investment Committee ensures that decision-making around the distribution of funds and subsequent monitoring is appropriately independent, consistent and transparent. The committee overseas that the governance of loans made by Emmaus UK's social investment partners, providing independent due diligence and appropriate monitoring including quarterly risk review for each investment. In exceptional circumstances The Emmaus Board could convert loans to grants.

o) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

p) Short term deposits

Short term deposits includes cash balances that are invested in accounts with a maturity date of between 3 and 24 months.

q) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at the current bank account, PayPal account and cash in hand are included as cash at bank and in hand.

r) Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

s) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

t) Pensions

The company operates a money purchase pension scheme under which the amount charged to the statement of financial activities is the contributions payable in the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and the contributions paid are shown as either creditors, accruals or prepayments in the balance sheet.

u) Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the statement of financial activities.
