Harbour Place recEived £369,034 under the Rough Sleeper Inlb'ative (RSI). These funds are received as part of a joint proposal with North East nInShire Council (NELC) to bid for funding made avallable via the Ministy of Housing, Communities and Local Govemment (MHCLG) to spedfically tsckle rough sleeplng. The stwcture of this bld Is such that NELC submits the bid to MHCLG. wlth Harbour Place nomlnated as thelr deslgnated key service provider. NELC also secured addonal fundlng within their RSI bids to meet the cost of mental health and addlction supp(xt W0erS. based at The Hope Centre but employed by thlrd paty agencles. The RSI fvnding during 2024 was part of a Ihree-yEar award unfjl 31st March 2025. Harbour Place received £1.096m of RSI funding during that three-5Ear pericMJ. Whilst this funding does not cover the full cost of providing the services agreed under RSI, this award gives a good foundation around which we can build our financial model. Since the year end, RSI funding for 2025126 was secured on similar temL8 for one year. with a more extensive revlew of RSI anticipated before March 2026. In December 2022. Harbour Place was successful In a slgnfficant bid to MHCLG'S Transfomiation Fund. The Transfomiation Fund has provided fundlng in excess of £140k auoss 2023124 to cover the cost of slgnificant adaptatlons to the Hope Centre in order to Improve service provislon and facilitate 24 hour openlng of our Night Shelter facilitles. The Transfonnation Fund has also provlded revenue funding eXedIng £200k for the pertod to January 2023 to March 2025 to meet addltional staff as servicEs are adapted. These changes to the physical envlronment and seprfice offerlng have enabled us to generate new addlllonal income streams for supported room occupancy 8s from July 2024. Page 5
Harbour Place Grfmsby Trustees. Report The Income recognlsed for the year ended 31st December 2024 from the Transfom8tlon Fund Is £69.911 In respect of adaptation )sts and £110.596 in respect of revenue funding. Other grant funds recelved during 2024 indude £25.IYX) from Uoyds Bank Foundation as part of a three-year avmrd ending in 2025. Harbour Place has submitted strong blds for fijrther grant fundlng during 2025. with some bids already successful. The Trustees would Ilke to ad(nowledge that fundlng from these organisatlons Is vitsl to us belng able to cnrrtinue to provlde supFM)rt 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 excellent outcomes for our service users which can be demonstrated over a number of years. Fundralslng and Donatlons The Trustees are acutely aware that HartK>ur P18ce cannot rely on grant fundlng alone and we are fortunate to enjoy incredlble support from local buslnesses and the V•ider c<x7)munlty- The generosity of everyone who supports our organlsatton Is gready appreciated. Inc¥Jme from donations was up 34.4tyk to £51,549 in 2024. Thls signfficant increase was largely driven by some very generous and sustsined support from local busln&sses. However. a signlficant element of this wlll fall away in 2025 due to a corporate supporter now experiencing financial difficulties. There were also some incredlbly generous donatlons from individuals during the year, but we very much appreciate every donatlon we recelve. Irrespectlve of the amount donated. Many indrvlduals and organisations withln our local communty also raised funds for us through their own activitles. such as runs and other great inilatlves. Income from general fundraising activibes increased significantly to £21.314 in 2024. There were many fantsstic initiatrrfes and events that (x)ntributed to this. induding support from Grimsby Town Football Club. Triton Knoll. contractors at Pr8x. The Grimsby Waler Rats and participants In The Grimsby 10k. Tough Mudder and other wnning events. In addillon to the above. our iwo major annual events - our Annud Dlnner and The Great Grlmsby Sleep Out - contributed a further £28.000. net of costs. The sewnd Great Grfmsby Sleep Oui (GGSO) tk place on 16th FebnJ8ry 2024. with over 90 people spending the night in Freshney Place Car Park to raise funds and awareness. We received some excellent coverage in the local medla and there were 790 donatlons, generating a gross Income of £19.618. The event incurred costs of £2.245, glving a net amount raised of £17.373. GGSO Is now flnnly established as a flagship event for Harbour Pla, reaching so many people in our Cx)mmunlty. Not only does It generate a fantsstic amount of money, but it also is vitsl in raising awareness and attracts excellent media coverage. Our Annual Fundraising Dlnner was held In November 2024 and was well supported m again. The evenlng generated incomes of £16.628. with a net conlribution of £10.631 after (x)sts of £5.997. The total Income generated from all donations and fundraising (exdudlng legacles) during 2024 was £109.109, compared to £78.902 in 2023. Event costs were £8,242. (xjmpared to £7,412. Overall. the Contribution to reseples for 2024 was £100.867 - an Increase of 41.1 % on the prevlous year. In<x)me from legacies was £50.OIX) in 2024 compared to £1.OIXI In 2023. The amount recelved In 2024 was a single amount recelved from the estate of one of the founders of Harbour Place and the Trustees have agreed that thls sum 111 be invested In the new accomm(Klation p@ect. Page 6
Harbour Place Grimsby Trustses. Report We are extremely Ihanldul to our local mmUnIty for such outsLgndlng support - esped811y when so many people and buslnesses fa their own finandal challenges. The Trustees believe that It Is essential for Harbour Place to maintain a strong profile in the local community- both to enhance fundraising revenue and to further develop strong. positi've awareness of Harbour Place and the difference that we make to so many lives. Achlovements and Performance Across the UK. 2024 was a yEar where homelessness continued to Increase at an 818rmlng rate, refiectlng record Private rents, rising evictions and a lack of genuinely affordable social housing. Nalonally, homelessness Increased by 14%. wlth over 350.000 people belng In temporary accommodalon or without any kind of accommodation at all. Furthennore, rough sleeping has increased by 27% over the past 2 years, vlhllst almost half of the people in temporary a0MM(x18Il0n have been in that sltuats'on for over two years.

From July 2024. our Impn)ved Night Shelter block at Ihe Hope Centre provlded short tem a0MmI1at10n that W8$ available 2417 with 8 bedrooms plus shared bathroom. kitthen and laundry facillties. We continued to provide two emergency crash rooms in addition to the maln Night Shelter rooms whlth were only a(x£sslble at night During the year. 74 Indlviduals used the Night Shelter which operated wlth an occupancy level of 98%. This Is the lowest totsl number of IndIdual$ accessing the Night Shelter for many years and is desplte demand for places being as high as ever. North East LinLY)Inshire is experiencing serlous shortages of avallable accommodatlon suitable for people that have suffered the trauma of being homeless and this is seriously impacting the 8verage length of stay In our Night Shelter (and thus redudng the number of individuals who have been able to benefit from the Nlght Shelter facilty). During 2024. we registered 220 new people to our seThice. We are contlnulng to dellver more support than ever and have made slgnlficant improvements In the way we work. but we do not do this alone and VR have continued to build relatlonships vth partne. We have had many agencies VKjng alongside us and this has fostered opportunlties for engagement that have In the past been lost to those sleeping on the streets. Page 7

After 8 year of evaluating different projects. our Board now have a very clear vision for our preferred Supported Housing project and are looking to make tangible progress with the build in the very near future. As a Board of Trustees. we remain very focussed on strengthening the ch8rWs abilty to generate more funds itself and supported housing projects are key to making real progress on that front. In flnancial tems. we are currenty forecasting a surplus for 2025, but the final result is obwously dependent upon financlal outcomes for the later months of the year.
