## **Filwood Hope Ltd** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 30th December 1997, registered under the Companies Acts (registration number 03487393) and its governing document is a Memorandum and Articles of Association. It was granted charitable status by the Charity Commission under number 1067441. 

By operation of law all trustees are directors under the Companies Act 2006 and all directors are trustees under Charities legislation and have responsibilities, as such, under both company and charity legislation. 

## **Trustees** 

The directors of the charitable company (“the charity”) are its trustees for the purposes of the charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the trustees. 

The Trustees who served during the year and since the year end are listed on page 1. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The objects for which the charity is established are: 

(1) the prevention or relief of emotional, spiritual or financial hardship in filwood ward and surrounding area by providing access to advice and services which might not otherwise be accessed through lack of means. 

(2) to promote social inclusion* for the public benefit through 

developing the capacity and skills of individuals in filwood ward and surrounding area to enable people to identify and help meet their own needs and to participate more fully in society. 

*i.e. feel part of; where all people feel valued, their differences are respected, and their basic needs are met so they can live in dignity. these relate to the importance of the links between the individual members of our society and the role of each person as a member of this group. 

These are achieved by: 

• Providing a drop-in advice centre, offering a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where clients can talk through their issues in a safe and confidential setting. We handle any 

enquiry, seeking to help the client resolve their difficulty. To support clients our activities include making telephone calls, writing letters, filling forms, contacting local and statutory bodies. 

• Specialist advisors being available during the week to give confidential advice. 

This is made possible by employing 3 part-time members of staff, and having a team of 8 volunteers. 

In planning our objectives and activities we have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## **Strategic report** 

The following sections for achievements and performance and financial review form the strategic report of the charity.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The financial year started with depleted reserves and uncertainty about the source of finance to fund the work of the charity, at a time where both our running costs and the need for our service were increasing due to the cost-of-living crisis hitting England. 

Through a public appeal for donations coordinated by chair of trustees Ed Palairet and centre manager Pearl Aitken, generously amplified by the local press (Bristol 24/7, BBC Online, BBC Radio Bristol, and Bristol Live), the charity benefited from new visibility across the city, and 100 new donors who gave one-off donations to cover the running costs until grant funding could be secured again. During this time, we received overwhelming messages of support – many confirming that Filwood Hope Advice Centre fulfils an essential role locally, and that it has had a long-lasting impact in the lives of individuals and families. 

Partial funding having been secured from a range of trusts and grants, the charity was able to retain a full team of passionate and knowledgeable staff – who are as busy as ever. The bespoke one-toone advice sessions include advice information, signposting, form-filling, letter-writing, referrals (debt services, foodbanks, mental health agencies, occupational therapists), support with welfare benefit applications and appeals, and offering emotional support. Filwood Hope Advice Workers also submit grant applications on behalf of clients, they help with budgeting skills, and energy bills. They are also able to hand out food aid, fuel aid, toiletries and sanitary items at their discretion (from restricted funds). About half of their work on welfare benefits is supporting clients through the PIP application process (formerly Disability Living Allowance). 65.8% of clients are aged 55 and over. 

The board is grateful to all who agreed to fund Filwood Hope, and relieved that the level of service to the people of Bristol was maintained throughout the financial year. During the reporting period, our free advice service has helped over 400 individuals during the deepening cost-of-living crisis, and for every £1 we spend on our running costs, our team raised at least £5 in previously unclaimed benefits for our clients. We also expanded our reach across South Bristol, with more and more people coming from neighbouring wards, which like Filwood, include housing estates that rank very highly on multiple indicators of deprivation. 

We are grateful to our team, partners, supporters, volunteers and pro bono professionals who have helped us: 

- Work from additional locations in Filwood and Redcliffe for a fixed term, 

- Develop a more diversified fundraising strategy, 

- Develop our theory of change, 

- Develop new case studies to communicate our value to a wider audience, 

- Develop more reliable measurements of the impact of our work, 

- Develop, launch, and run a new money management course (guidance, tools and skills) 47 appointments held at a time when everyone is facing rising costs. 

A local church kindly hosted our 25th anniversary celebration where the Lord Bishop of Bristol expressed her gratitude for the work of Filwood Hope. The level of trust and respect that our team has earned cannot be replicated: we know that local residents value our 25 years of continuity and distrust short-term funded projects that disappear after 3 years; it is also culturally not acceptable to go into people’s homes, which limits the reach of some other organisations trying to help.  Many will not leave the housing estate for months at a time - which is why having our service so local is so

important. We work collaboratively with other community organisations, and we partner with expert service providers: we know our niche and we ensure there is no duplication. This means we must continue to play our part. 

## **Financial review and reserves** 

Income for the year was £89,023 (2022: £36,396), expenses were £58,304 (2022: £49,725), bringing total funds carried forwards to £39,242 (2022: £8,523) of which £35,341 were freely available unrestricted reserves. 

This means a surplus of £30,719 (2022: £13,329 deficit). 

These summary figures do not account for outstanding liabilities of £2,271 at year end, which represent disputed invoices for services not received to an adequate standard. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales 

## **Funds received as agent or funds held as custodian trustee** 

There are no assets, classes of assets or categories of assets held on behalf of other entities. 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the Management Committee** 

The trustees who are also the charity trustees have prepared financial statements for the financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the net income or expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company, and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and any other irregularities. 

The trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the independent examination of which the examiners are unaware.  The trustees also confirm that they

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4.  the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1 Basis of Preparation** 

- a) These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

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) (issued on 16 July 2014), as amended by Update Bulletin 2 published in October 2018, effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

- b) The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charitable company is able to continue as a going concern, which the trustees consider appropriate having regard to the current level of unrestricted reserves. There are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

- c) The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

- a) Income from donations/grants is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows: 

i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. 

ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition have been met. 

- b) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

- c) Most expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities, and has been included in those cost categories. Support cost have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity. 

- d) Rentals applicable to operating lease agreements where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

- e) Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

- f) 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. 

- g) Individual assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Equipment - 25% straight line

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

- g) 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 recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

- h) The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
