Geographlcal Profile of the Project
Harbour Place operates in North East Uncolnshire (NEL). stiuated on Ihe easl 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 indudes the port towns of Grimsby and Immingham, the seaslde resort of Cleethorpes, a range
of villages of varwng size and composltion. and the attractive landscape of the Lincolnshire Wolds. Accordlng to the
draft 2021 Census, the population of NEL vtas 156.900. Results around ethnicty and detsiled age ranges are yet to
be finalised for 2021, but the prevlous ￿n$US indicated that approx. 77% of the popula￿on of NEL live In the
Grimsbylcleethorpes conurbation, approx. 1.5% from ethnic minority ￿mmunI￿es. Previous results have also
indicated that the proporbon of the local population wilhin the 21>34 age range is lower than the national average,

Pr8mls•s
Harbour Place Is based at The Hope Centre. Hope Street Grfmsby. These premises are secured by a long-tenn

A plannlng appIl￿tion was approved In November 2023 for a proposed separate buildlng in the grounds of the
Hope Centre, to provlde a medium to long tenn home for 5 vulnerable adults. A Tender process was completed
during Summer 2024 and the Board then decided to Investigate an altemative potential opportunlty which may
have presented greatsr potential. After a lengthy and complex negotiation process, it was apparent by Summer
2025 that thls altemative project VK>uld not be ￿able and the Board are now committed to arrfvlng at the most o)st
effectlve solution to deliver up move-on accommodation wlthln the grounds of the Hope Centre and expect to have

Havlng overseen the Implementatlon to our new CRM system durlng 2023, Denny has led the migration to a 24
Night Shelter facility and the agreements for Supported Housing Benefft for the occupation of those rooms durfng

Grnnt Fundlng
During 2024. 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 ￿n￿InShire 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 add￿onal fundlng within their RSI bids to meet the cost of
mental health and addlction supp(xt W0￿erS. 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 eX￿edIng £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.

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) t￿k 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.

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 a￿0MM(x18Il0n have been in that sltuats'on for over two years.
Publlc dlscourse around these Issu8s in the media vlll often frKus on cities. but these issues are lust as prevalent

At Harbour Place we have seen increased demand for the full range of our services - from the provision of practlcal
asslstsnce (such as hot meals. showers. change of dothing) to the dedicated support. advice and advocacy which
enables service users to address Issues relating to benefits. housing, and heallh.
During 2024. we supported over 400 different people who were either homeless or vulnerably housed, prov]dlng
over 12,000 individual acts of supporL
Included within this number are 208 drfferent Ind￿￿lUalS vh)0 have been seen sleeping on the streets of our area at
some point during the year by our OLrtrea¢h Team. who have been out In all weathers earfy momlngs, late nlghts
and over weekends during the yBar delivering 1,944 acts of support to those on our streets.
From July 2024. our Impn)ved Night Shelter block at Ihe Hope Centre provlded short tem a￿0MmI￿1at10n that W8$

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 IndI￿dual$ 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 v￿th partne￿. We have had many
agencies VKj￿ng alongside us and this has fostered opportunlties for engagement that have In the past been lost
to those sleeping on the streets.

Plans for future perlods
The Year Ahead
2025 has remained very challenglng for everyone within our communty as financlal pressures affect both our
servlce users and our supporters. Demand for our seNlces remains very hlgh and fundraising remalns challenglng.
That sald. support from our commun6ty remains strong. as evldenced during GGS02025 and other fvndralslng
events during 2025.
The supported houslng benefit revenue is making a very s￿nIficant u)ntributlon to revenue streams and is helping
us reduce our reliance on grant fundlng. but given the strong demand for our services and the challenges of
fundraising, granl fundlng wlll remain vilal to us maintslnlng our current levds of supporL
Finding sultsble move-on accornmodation for some of our seNice users remains very challenging and we are often
unable to find an￿here suitsble for those vho are ready to make Ihe next step from our Nlght Shelter. Thls be
incredibly disheartening for the indwiduals affected and Ilmlts the level of support we can provide to others In need
of a place. 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.
The comblned ongoing e(x>nomic and soclal conditions in our area are Ilkety to present challenges for some tlme to
come. However. the Trustees are confident that our committed team will o)nt]nue to find opportunlties to adapt and
fund sepilces to meet the needs of our serdice users.
We would once agaln Ilke to Ihank everyone N*l)o has supported us through these chaI￿ngIng Imes. Including
buslnesses and Individuals withln our local communty, NELC'S Homelessness Prevenlbn Team and other partner
agenries.
Finally, we would like to extend our most sin￿re thanks to our fellow Trustees. our Staff and our Volunteers for
