Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
Harbour Place's core objectives remain unchanged from previous years: focussed upon improving health,
well-being and employabilty skills of the homeless and disadvantaged people of North East Lincolnshire (NEL). As
is set OLrt in greater detail in thts rewrt. the activities of our chanty include a full time Night Shelter facility, Street
Outreach teams and other SUPFM)rt services.
Public benefit
The Trustees have had due regard to guidan￿ pubiished by the Chatty Commission (CC) on public benefrt.
Trustees believe that the Objectives and activtttes identified below. along with the outcomes achieved through the
activities and support provided by staff and volunteers. demonstrate how Ihe charity brings benefit to the public.
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 Charty Commission for England and Wales.
Geographical Profile of the Project
Harbour pla￿ operates in North East Lincolnshire (NEL). situated on the east coast of England at the mouth of the
Humber Estuary, covering an area of 74 square miles (192 sq. km). It is an area that not only presents challenges,
but also potential. It includes the port towns of Grimsby and Immingham. the seaside resort of Cleelhorpes, a range
of villages of varying sÈze and composition. and the attractive landsGape of Ihe Lincolnshire Wolds. According to the
draft 2021 Census, the populats'on of NEL was 156.900. Results around ethnicity and detailed age ranges are yet to
be finalised for 2021. but the previous census indi(2ted that approx. 77% of the population of NEL live in the
Grimsbylcleethorpes conurbation, wtlh approx. 1.50A from ethnic minority communrties. Previous results have also
indicated that the proportion of the local population wrthin the 20-34 age range is lower than the national average.
indicating the difficulty of retaining younger adults and graduates within the area.

Volunteering
Our Volunteer Co-ordinator has responsibilty for volunteer recrurtment. support and development. This role
enables us to bring new volunteers into Harbour Pla￿ and to develop more specific roles for some volunteers.
In July 2023, the Volunteer Co-ordinator role became full-time. fijrther increasing our commitment to volunteef
support and development.
In addition to the 'traditional" volunteer, HP o)ntsnues to encouiage SeNtce Users to volunteer and will support
them as they develop their skills. Training opportunitses are prowded to all volunteers by HP whenever possible and
we remain very focussed on providing kK)sitive and enriching experiences for our volunteers.
Our volunteers work alongside our staff team and this "bleThJed" team is essential in providing the right environment
for our service users.
Everyone at Harbour Place greatly appreciates the bme that our volunteets give and the value that they bring to our
seNice.
Staff Team
2023 provided further challenges for our Staff Team as we fvrther developed flexible working arrangements and
undertook a programme of building alterations at the Hope Centre vthilst ensuring c£)ntinuity of services. We also
intrOdU￿d a new CRM software system in the last quarter 2023. with significant staff training for the new system.
Robin Barr retired from the role of Project Diredor at the erKI of Decemt*r 2023 and the Trustees unanimously
approved the promotion of Denny Batty to that role. This was a succession that had been planned for some time.
Denny led the development and introduction of our new CRM sofiware and had been involved in strategic
discussions for some time leading up to Robin's retirement from the role of Project Director. The Trustees believe
that Denny has all the skills, qualities and experience to be an ex￿lIent Project Director and wish him every
suc¢ess in this role.
Robin has been an outstanding Project Director. He has been the public face of Hafbour Place since 2016 and was
instrumental in the establishment of our Night Shelter, our move to the Hope Centre and our involvement in the
Rough Sleeper Initiative. The Trustees would like to thank Robin for his incredible passion and commitment in that
role and are delighted that he will remain at Harbour Pla￿ in a part-time capacity in the role of Grants and
Development Lead. working dosely with Denny and our Chair of Trustees.
Dennys promotion ueated a vacancy for a Project Manager and this resulted in another intemal promotion. with
James Clayton taking up this role. James has been with Harbour Place Sin￿ 2018. working in Support and
Outreach and he has also worked intensively with entrenched rough sleepers. He has developed an eX￿lIent
range of skills and was an outstanding candidate for the role and Ihe Trustees also wish James every success.
In January 2023 we increased our support team hours. with Andrew Carlile progressing into a full-time role and
former volunteer Hayley Laird also joining the staff team as a full-time suppK)rt worker.
Long-term employees Dave Carlile and Sue Davidson-Lamb retired in October 2023 and December 2023
respectively. The Trustees would like to thank them both for their considerable Servi￿ and wish them happy
retirements.
Elliott Jennings and Paul Gardener joined our Night Team in May 2023 and July 2023 respectively. Stacey Brown

Grant Funding
During 2023, Harbour Place received £341,558 under the Rough Sleeper Initiative (RSI). These fvjnds are re￿IVed
as part of a joint proposal with North East Lincolnshire Council (NELC) to bid for funding made available via the
Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communibes (DLUHC) to specifically tackle rough sleeping.
The structure of this bKI is such that NELC submits the bid to DLUHC. viith Hafbour Place nominated as their
designated key seNice wovider. NELC also secured additional fur)ding wrthin their RSI bids to meet the cost of
mental health and addiclion supw)rt Workers. based at The Hope Centre but employed by third party agencies.
The current RSI funding is a three year award until 31 st March 2025. Harbour Place will receive £1.096m of RSI
funding during that 3 year period. Whilst this funding does not cover the full cost of providing the services agreed
under RSI. this 3 year award gives a good foundation around vthich we can build our financial model. Our Senior
Management Team are very mindful that it is now only just over 6 months unts'l this funding expires and we will be
making representations to our corttacts at NELC and DLUCH very soon.
In December 2022, Hart)our Place was Su￿ssful in a significant bid to DLUHC'S Transformation Fund. The
Transformalion Fund has wovided funding in ex￿SS of £140k across 2023124 to cover the c05t of significant
adaptations to the Hope Centre in order to improve Servi￿ prowsion and facilitate 24 hour opening of our Night
Shelter facilities. The Transformation Fund has also provided revenue funding ex￿edIng £200k for the period lo
January 2023 to March 2025 to meet additional staff costs as services aTe adapted. These changes lo the physical
environment and service offering have enabled us to generate new additvjnal income streams for supported room
occupancy as from July 2024.
The income recognised for the year ended 31st December 2023 from the Transformation Fund is £72.089 in
respect ol adaptation costs and £78.506 in respect of revenue funding.
Other grant funds re￿iVed during 2023 indude-
- £30,000 from Lloyds Bank Foundation
- £20,000 from Tudor Trust
- £10,000 from National Lottery
- £6,000 from NELC {as a contribution to the new CRM software)
- £5.000 from Sisters of St Josephs of Peace
As mentioned earlier in this report. Harbour Place has also submitted a successful bid for significant capital funding
for the proposed new accommodation building which is cu￿entlY in Tender evaluation stage. This project will
present a significant enhancement to our service offering arld long-term financial stabilty.
Harbour Place has submitted strong bids for further grant funding during 2024, with some bids already successful.
The Trustees would like to acknowledge that funding from these organisatsons is vilal to us being able to continue
to provide support to so many vulnerable people. It should also be acknowledged that the success of these bids
can be attributed the to diligence of our Senior Management Team in preparing the bids and also the ex￿lIent

Fundraising and Donations
The Trustees are acutely aware that Hart)our Place canrK)t rely on grant funding alone and we are fortunate to
enjoy incredible supwrt from local businesses and the wider [￿MmUn￿. The generosity of everyone who supports
our organisation is greatly appreciated.
Income from donations was up 2.7% to £38.364 in 2023. This modest increase represents sustained support from
a community which continues to fa￿ its own financial challerwJes in the face of significant Cost of Living increases
in recent years.
There were some incredibly generous donations during the year and many individuals within our local communily
raised funds for us through their own aclivities, such as runs and other greal inttiab'ves. Income from general
fundraising aclivities was up 8Q/o to £6,111 in 2023.
In addition to the above, there was a significant addilional boost to our donations and fundraising income in the
form of our Annual Dinner plus the inaugural Great Gnmsby Sleep Out.
The Great Grimsby Sleep Out (GGSO) took place on 17th Febnjary 2023. WFth over 80 people spending the night
in Freshney place Car Park lo raise funds and awareness. We re￿iVed some excellent coverage in the local media
and there were over 750 donations. generating a gross in(x)me of £16.155. The evenl incurred costs of £2,409,
giving a net amount ratsed of £13.746.
Not only did GGSO raise a fantastic sum of money. it is now established as a flagship event for Harbour Place.
reaching many new supporters. GGS02024 was held in February 2024 and raised over £3,000 more than
GGS02023.
Our Annual Fundraising Dinner was held in November 2023 and was well supported once again. The evening
generated incomes of £18.272. with a net ¢ontributicJn of £13,266 after costs of £5,006.
The total income generated from all donations and fundraising {exduding legacies) was £78.902, compared to
£68,950 in 2022. Event costs were £7.412. compared to £5.846. Overall. the contribution to reserves for 2023 was
£71.490 - an increase of 13.20/0 on the previous year.
Income from legacies was £1.000 in 2023 wmpared to £18.122 in 2022.
We are extremely thankful to our local communty for such outstanding SUPFX)rt - especially when so many people
and businesses face their own financial challenges.
The Trustees believe that it is essential for Hart)(MJr Pla￿ to maintain a strorvJ profile in the local communty - both
to enhan￿ fundraising revenue and to further develop strong, positsve awareness of Harbour Place and the
difference that we make to so many lives.

Achievements and Perfom)ance
2023 saw a continuab'on of the Cost of Lmng crisis that has increased pressure on people at risk of Homelessness
and people already experiencing Homelessness.
Published data has shown that we are experiencing the UK'S highest homeless rate, with 16 people in every
100,000 people living on the streets and 410 per 100.WO living in temporary accommodation or shelters.
At Harbour Pla￿ we have s￿n sustained demand for the fvll range of our services - both the provision of praclical
assistance (such as hot meals, showers, change of clothing) and also the dedicaled supFort, advice and advocacy
which enables service users to address issues relating to benefits. housing, and health.
Added to this, North East Lincolnshire Ès experiencing senous shortages of available accommodation suitable for
people that have suffered the trauma of being homeless. This has particularly affected the average length of stay in
our Night Shelter and the number of individuals who have been able to benefit from the Night Shelter facility.
Over the 12 months of the year. 154 individuals used the Night Shelter which operated with an occupancy level of
92°/o. During the year we worked dosely with partner agencies and directly assisted 48 individuals lo find
accommodation. Finding suitable move-on accommc)dation remains extremely challenging and Ihis significantly
impacts those using or wishing to use our Night Shelter facility.
We have continued to develop our assertNe Outreach Service. undertaking Outreach early moming, late night and
over the weekend in an effort to engage with more individuals who were rough sleeping.
We registered 151 new service users each month for our servI￿s. We worked with 340 service users in total,
including 53 who were 'new to the streets..
Partnership working remains a key objective of ours and during 2023 we continued to Co-work with agencies that
offer support to our service users. These included.. -
. NEL'S Homelessness Prevention Service
. We Are With You
. NAVIGO
. MIND
• A range of local Housing and Hostel providers induding YMCA and Salvation Amiy
. The Cikn'zens Advice Bureau
Grimsby Job Centre Plus
Focus AduEt Social Care
NEL Anti-social Behaviour Team
• NEL Community Safety Partnership
East Marsh United
Foresight
Humberside Poli
Our successful bid for Transfomiation Funding from DLUCH in 2022 has seen fijrther signtficant developments at
the Hope Centre during 2023 and into Sprtng 2024. improving the facilities available to service users and enabling
us to provide 24-hour accommodab'on for up to 8 Night Shelter rooms from July 2024 onwards. This is a further
step towards our primary ambrtion to reduce and ulb'mately end rough sleeping in our community.

Harbour Place Grimsby
Trustees. Report
Financial review
The Trustees are pleased to report a surplus of £31,590 for the year ended 31st December 2023.
The surplus for this year is a result of Hatt()ur Place securing strong levels of grant funding ￿Mbined wilh some
outstanding financial support from our local communty.
Total revenue grant fvnding in the year totalled £495,115. ￿rnPared to £419,908 in 2022.
We also secured additional grant income of £78,809 relating to direct wsts inCu￿ed for the Hope Centre
Adaptations and the IT upgrades. This income relates to reciprocal eX￿ptIOnal costs within running costs tolals for
2023.
Thus, revenue grants in 2023 represented 91.8% of running costs (excluding exceptional costs) compared to
83.6 % of running costs in 2022.
Fundraising, donations, legacies and trading aclivitres in 2023 generated a gross income of £80.775. This
compares to a gross Income of £90,458 in 2022.
Bank interest re￿iVed totslled £606 (2022. £100). Deposit interest has improved in FY2024 and the Trustees
remain mindful that current reserves must remain liquid given the Prq￿ property project.
staff costs for the year totalted £467,276 - an in(xease of 9.￿0 on the 2022 figure of £425,174. This increase
reflecls some growih to the slaff team and a modest general pay increase.
Other expenditure remained comparable to levels in previous years.
The resultant surplus for 2023 has had a positive impact upon reserves, which remain at a sustainable level.
although we shall continue our efforts to strengthen them further over future years in order to meet our Reserves
Policy
Policy on reserves
Our aim is to build up income and expenditure reserves representing 6 months of expenditure to afford the charity
contingency funds to continue with planned activittes in the event of a major unforeseen interruption to income.
Reserves as at 31st December 2023 were £234.205. This represents 43% of annual expenditure levels at the
Balance Sheet date.
Given the thallenges of recent years and the increased demand for servI￿s. it is clear]y difficult to achieve
signfficant growth to Reserves. but the Twstees are satisfied with current levels and continue to look for
opportunities to strengthen HP'S financial p)sition in the future.

Plans for future periods
The Year Ahead
2024 has remained very challenging for everyone within our ￿mrnunty as Cost of Living pressures affect both our
seNice users and our supporteFS. Demand for our servi￿$ remains very hEgh and fundraising remains challenging.
That said, support from our communty remains strong and we have s￿n increased revenue from GGS02024 and
other fundraising within the community.
The adaptations to the Hope Centre were completed in Spring 2024 and as from July 2024 we have been able to
offer 24_7 access to 8 Night Shelter rooms. offering Servi￿ users a real break from lrfe on the streets. This has also
enabled us to generate a new income stream via supported housing benefit. reducing our future relian￿ on grant
income.
Finding suitable move-on accommcKlation for some of our Servi￿ users remains very challenging and we are
looking to make prcMJress on our own project for SuptK)rted Housing so that we can provide supported
accommodation latcr in 2025.
As a Board of Trustees. we remain very fctussed on strengthening the chariws abilty to generate more funds r(self
and these projects are key to making real prrsress on that fronl
In financial temis. we are currentty forecasting a significant surplus for 2024, primarily as a result of a large legacy
re￿iVed in January 2024. but the final resu￿ is obviously dependent uw>n financial outcomes for the later months
of the year.
The combined ongoing economic and social conditions in our area are likely lo present challenges for some time to
come. However. the Trustees are confident that our committed team will wntinue to find opportunities to adapt and
fund setvices to meet the needs of our service users.
We would once again like to thank everyone who has supported us through these challenging times, including
businesses and individuals within our local community, NELC'S Homelessness Preven￿'on Team and other partner
agencies.
Finally. we would like to extend our most sincere thanks to our fellow Trustees. our Staff and our Volunteers for
their hard work and commttment during the year.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been rK•tified in knffiting of both the amount and settlement date. In
the event that a donation is subject to ex)nditions that require a level of perfomiance by the charity before the
charity is entitled to the funds, the In￿Me is deferred and not recognised until either those cx)ndits'ons are fully met,
or the fuifilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it ￿ probable that these conditions
11 be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Legacy grfls are rec￿jniSed on a case by case basis followiThJ the grant of probate vthen Ihe administraiorlexecutor
for the estate has communicated in wriknng both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the grft is in the
form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange. recognition is subject
to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset
having been transferred to the charity.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts recetved for future periods and ts released to incoming resources in the
period for which. it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specffjies that the grant or donation must only be used in fLrture accounting pertods: or
- The donor has imposed conditions which tnust be met before the chartty has unconditional entttlement.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised on(t there ts a legal or constructive obligatKJn to that expenditure. il is probable
settlemenl is required and the amount can be measured reliably. AJI (x)sts are allocated to the applicable
expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of reSoUr￿s. wilh ￿ntral staff
costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are all￿ated based on Ihe spread of staff costs.
I resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

These are costs incurred in attracting vduntary income. the management of investments and those incurred in
trading activities that raise funds.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure compnses those costs incuTred by Ihe charity in the de57very of its activities and services for
its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be all￿ated directly to such activrtEs and those costs of an indirect
nature necessary to suppryt them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent
with the use of resources, for example, allocating propety costs by flwr areas, or per capita. staff costs by the time
spent and other costs by their usage.
Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resourGes expended for which it was incurred.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragtaph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the definition of a charitsble company for UK co￿oration tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is
potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories oivered by
Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, 10
