TRUSTEES’ REPORT

Trustees’ Report 2024
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Objectives and Activities
Trinity Winchester is a charity which addresses the effects of homelessness and vulnerability through specialist practical and emotional support and proactive prevention, empowering positive change. We help people who are suffering from and are vulnerable to the effects of homelessness, addiction, physical and mental illhealth, poverty, social isolation and domestic abuse. We offer solutions, hope, choice and control.
Achievement and Performance
Trinity Winchester is a strategic organisation partner of Winchester City Council in addressing homelessness locally. Our holistic programme of direct access services alongside supported accommodation provides life-changing benefits for our homeless and other vulnerable clients.
Key achievements in year
Demand for day services delivered from Bradbury House showed a steady increase throughout the year. Our central drop-in features were all fully reinstated following the Covid pandemic, with vital healthcare services fully available. Counselling activities expanded well beyond pre-Covid provision and other wellbeing activities were put in place. Trinity’s outreach team, funded by Winchester City Council, intervened rapidly to provide help to any new rough sleepers in the city, including working at weekends. The Women’s Service continued to thrive.
In June 2023 we reached the second anniversary of the opening of Bradbury View, our accommodation project adjoining the drop-in centre. The Trustees are pleased to report that Bradbury View continues to demonstrate that changing lives for the better by providing housing with support services under one roof is an achievable long-term ambition. Since opening Alleyne House in 2019 and Bradbury View in 2021, we have confirmed our belief that once a person settles into safe, secure housing and begins to feel looked after, they experience a sense of belonging and start to regain a sense of purpose and direction.
We are tremendously grateful to our loyal and most established funders and partners, Winchester City Council, major grant-making trusts and all who have again committed significant funding to Trinity. We would like to extend our thanks to all our supporters, including many local organisations and individuals who have been so generous.

TRINITY WINCHESTER
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
for the year ended 31 March 2024
Trinity successfully retained the NCVO’s Trusted Charity status, an organisationwide quality assurance kitemark, for a further three years.
Trinity's Direct Access Services (Drop-in)
We offer support and interventions, from the basics of food and shelter to advice and information about benefits, housing, alcohol and drug use and harm minimisation; signposting to key services; healthcare; learning and skills development; confidencebuilding recreational activities; preparing for employment; counselling and domestic abuse programmes; hot nutritious meals and bathing and laundry facilities.
We worked with 642 individuals in 2023/24 (2023: 539), 238 of whom were new to Trinity (2023: 176). Of those accessing our services, 122 presented as homeless (sleeping rough or sofa-surfing) (2023: 136) and 420 were in temporary housing (2023: 252).
Outreach
The Trinity outreach team navigators, in partnership with Winchester City Council, supported any new rough sleepers in the community through morning outreach visits within the city centre area of Winchester, reaching 106 individuals during 2023/24 (2023: 49). Rough sleepers received hot drinks, advice and signposting to key agencies and were encouraged to engage with our services. We are then able to assist them to a triage appointment with Winchester City Council to determine their immediate housing needs. All agencies involved continue to collaborate in a preventative strategy aimed at swift intervention and the minimisation of rough sleeping. In 2023/4 we were commissioned by the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Safer Communities Fund to provide an additional anti-social behaviour outreach service in the city centre, which was a success both for the individuals given assistance and the wider business community.
Homelessness prevention
Trinity helps people to retain successful tenancies, resulting in fewer evictions. We support people who are in temporary or permanent accommodation, helping them with budgeting and paying bills, liaising with landlords, and supporting them to feel safe in their own homes and within their communities. During 2023/24 we continued to work with private landlords and housing associations to seek to increase the supply of rented properties available for former rough sleepers, providing support to landlords hesitant to let to this client group and to the clients themselves, for as long as it takes for them to move on to living independently. Trinity continued in its capacity as a landlord supporting residents with the transition to permanent accommodation.
Skills development
A crucial part of our work is the provision of a range of structured and informal learning opportunities for our clients. Courses provided include IT, Life Skills, Debt

for the year ended 31 March 2024
Management and Budgeting, Art and Craft, Gardening and Volunteering programmes. These help to develop lifelong skills and build confidence and selfesteem, making real changes to people’s lives. Numbers of learners increased again in 2023/24 as day services in Bradbury House continued to be rebuilt. This year 446 learners (2023: 345) took part in a variety of Zoom and virtual learning groups and classes. Job Club and Employment Preparedness sessions offered help with searching for jobs, writing CVs, interview skills and mock interviews. We offered opportunities to gain nationally recognised qualifications and provide access to work experience. We are indebted to Lane Clark & Peacock and Capsticks for facilitating interview skills practice and to Selwood and Lainston House for providing work placement and employment opportunities for Trinity clients. We also thank our peer mentors who, through their own lived experience, are able to pass on their newly acquired skills whilst supporting others. Despite the continuing challenges, 46 people found paid or voluntary employment in 2023/24 (2023: 36).
Healthcare
As part of our commitment to providing proactive and preventative healthcare services in-house, we deliver a programme of health promotion and therapies, supported by other NHS healthcare providers. This includes primary healthcare and mental health interventions, delivered by St Clements Surgery at our in-house surgery at Bradbury House. Overall the St Clements practice delivered an average of 30 (2023: 30) GP and nurse appointments per week. Dental clinics, funded by Simply Health, were provided monthly by dental charity Dentaid’s bus; optician appointments were provided by NHS England. The number of people accessing healthcare services across 2023/24 was 430 (2023: 267). Advice was offered throughout the year on mental health issues, substance use and harm minimisation, smoking cessation, sexual health, domestic abuse, eating well and nutrition. Access to emotional first aid, such as mindfulness, homeopathy, meditation and other problem-solving therapies which help people develop strategies to manage life events and challenges, was also available throughout the year. Trinity continued to work with the Royal Hampshire County Hospital, including its mental health unit, Melbury Lodge, in multi-agency intervention, to prevent patients being discharged back on to the streets.
Trinity's counselling services continued to expand throughout 2023/24 to meet the increasing demand and more complex needs of socially isolated individuals wanting to develop coping mechanisms and changed patterns of behaviour. Challenging deep-set beliefs and negative thought patterns, participants reported that counselling helped with anger management, depression and anxiety. We also continued to offer Dual Diagnosis counselling for clients suffering from both addiction and mental illhealth. In total 293 individuals were engaged in therapy during the year (2023: 224).
Trinity’s accommodation
Wrap-around support was provided to residents of Bradbury View, who have complex and high support needs. The accommodation comprises 12 self-contained

flatlets adjacent to Bradbury House day centre and bordering the Winnall Moors nature reserve. The psychologically informed design with a communal lounge and kitchen helps to reduce feelings of isolation and promotes positive relationship building. All of Trinity’s day services were available to residents throughout the week. Night workers provided overnight security and weekend workers ensured that needs could be met seven days a week. Residents received regular tenancy support, including managing finances, shopping, cooking and gardening groups and a recovery group. A particular highlight of the year was again putting on a real family Christmas. The holistic approach taken by Trinity enabled residents to take the first steps in establishing themselves in a safe and therapeutic environment.
Alleyne House, generously leased on a peppercorn rent by the former High Sheriff of Hampshire, Mark Thistlethwayte, provides 8 self-contained accommodation units of transitional accommodation for people leaving the criminal justice system with lower support needs. Alleyne House has embedded into the local community and has established itself as a good neighbour.
In 2023/24, Trinity offered 7,078 bednights at Bradbury View and Alleyne House, with a 97.75% occupancy rate (2023: 6,995, 96%). We housed 19 people at the start of the year. 11 moved out during the year; of those, 6 moved on to more independent accommodation with reduced or no support and 5 into more appropriate supported accommodation (2023: 11, 6, 5). In addition, one room was abandoned by the resident and sadly one resident died. New residents moved in and there were again 19 people housed at the year end.
Trinity Women's Service
Women’s homelessness is often under-reported and frequently linked to experiences of abuse. Our thriving Women's Service provides specialised interventions for women facing often complex co-existing difficulties such as mental ill-health, substance use and domestic abuse. We offer individually tailored programmes of counselling, peer group support, complementary therapies, empowerment classes, outings and social get-togethers. Our clients can also access the nationally recognised Freedom Programme for people experiencing domestic abuse. Our client-centred interventions and signposting helped individuals both emotionally and practically to come to terms with, manage and move on from abusive and at times life-threatening situations. Participants consistently reported increased wellbeing and confidence. We continued to offer Equine Therapy in partnership with Tower House Horses. This gives our clients quiet reflective time around nature and horses. A total of 179 women engaged with the Women’s Service in 2023/24 (2023: 127).
Other Partnerships
Partnership working plays a key part in the delivery of our services. As well as our closest partner, Winchester City Council, we also worked with STOP Domestic Abuse, Winchester City Council’s outreach team, A2, Hampshire Probation, Catch22, the Domestic Abuse Forum, MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment

Conference) and The Winchester Beacon. Multi-agency working included Children’s Services, the Community Mental Health Team, Inclusion Winchester, housing providers, GPs, health visitors, HM Prison Winchester and the Royal Hampshire County Hospital to ensure a seamless pathway of intervention and support. Our productive partnership with Winchester University continued with Trinity delivering bespoke lectures at the University for psychology and social work students covering domestic abuse, poverty and homelessness, and opening multiple placements to Social Work students.
Fundraising
Fundraising activities in 2023/24 again exceeded challenging objectives set by the Trustees. Trinity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and adheres to charity sector regulations and guidelines including the Fundraising Code of Practice. We are committed to protecting privacy and only use personal data that we collect in line with applicable laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR): data is not shared, sold, swapped or rented to third parties for marketing purposes; communication is only sent to those who want it in the method they have agreed to.
Financial review
Income targets for 2023/24 were met and exceeded as a result of exceptional fundraising efforts. Expenditure was controlled as prices rose, but additional costs compared to budget were incurred in all categories except salaries. The organisation had a surplus of £195,331. £176,625 was received in the year towards a new capital appeal, leaving an underlying surplus of £18,346 compared with the previous year’s underlying deficit of £31,404. The depreciation charge for the year was £79,476, which is fully funded by appeal funds represented by the depreciation fund. No other call was made in 2023/24 on the organisation’s designated funds.
Unrestricted funds, excluding our depreciation reserve of £2.3m and other designated funds, were £344,375 at the year-end (2023: £305,141), while restricted reserves increased to £450,266 (2023: £234,693). Details of funds are included in the notes to the accounts.
Income and expenditure
The Trustees are pleased to report that their objective of delivering stability and sustainable financial performance was met again in 2023/24 despite the challenges of increasing costs. During the year revenue income was £1,149,142 (including £176,625 for the new capital appeal) compared with £1,037,485 (including £160,054 capital appeal) in 2022/23. The underlying income figure was therefore £972,517 as against £877,431 in 2022/23.
We are particularly grateful to the National Lottery for £83,007 in the year, the third year of a 5-year funding commitment which provides a bedrock of support for the residents of Bradbury View and enables security and long-term planning for this

project. Strong support continued from Winchester City Council, including an additional housing support grant, and significant grant income was also received from Garfield Weston Foundation, Horlock Educational Trust, Thomas Roberts Trust, the Community Organisations Cost of Living Fund, Simply Health, Places Foundation, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner and Beatrice Laing Charitable Trust. Generous donations were received from other grant-making charities, corporate, personal and other local donors.
Revenue expenditure for the year was £953,811, compared with £908,835 in 2022/23. This increase was the result of a higher than usual increase in salaries across the board to reflect inflation pressures, increased premises costs due to rising utility bills, increased food costs and higher interest rates on our outstanding loan.
Reserves
The Trustees consider it prudent regularly to review Trinity's reserves policy having regard to the need to:
-
provide basic services for our users
-
meet contractual obligations
-
meet the organisation’s obligations as a good employer
-
build up funds for specific purposes when required or deemed good financial practice
-
protect and maintain the organisation’s assets.
Free Reserves
The charity’s free reserves represent unrestricted reserves, excluding designated funds, fixed assets and long-term liabilities. These stood at £352,138 (2023: £331,874), between 4 and 5 months’ running costs.
Plans for Future Periods
The Trustees continue to monitor carefully both income generation and expenditure. Increases in staffing and energy costs mean that annual expenditure across the charity will grow again in 2024/25, by an estimated 3.5%. We seek further multi-year funding to ensure the long-term viability of the provision of the additional support that is fundamental to the success of Bradbury View. The success of the capital appeal launched in 2022/23 looks set to enable us in the coming financial year to purchase 5 units of move-on accommodation for those individuals who are ready for more independent living than is on offer at Bradbury View, but who still require some support. We also plan to convert the existing building to incorporate 3 emergency housing rooms for victims of domestic abuse and ‘night stop’ emergency bed use.
The budget for 2024/25 is for a £30,000 operational surplus against revenue funds. The Trustees consider that Trinity is in a strong financial position and can continue to deliver high quality services while maintaining cash balances sufficient to cover 3 to 6 months’ operating costs.

Structure, Governance and Management
The Trustees, who are also directors of the charity, control the organisation’s longterm direction and focus.
At the Annual General Meeting each year Trustees who were elected three or more years ago automatically retire from office but are eligible for re-election up to a maximum of three terms. The Board has the power to appoint new trustees at any time and to fill vacancies arising through the resignation or death of a trustee. Any appointment is governed by the articles of association of the charity. Paul Murray continued as chair throughout the year.
Members of the charity have voting rights at the Annual General Meeting. During the year to 31 March 2024 there were 35 members (2023: 35). If the charity is dissolved, any member who has held office within 12 months of dissolution will be liable to pay an amount up to £1 towards the cost of dissolution and the liabilities incurred by the charity while they were a member.
Day-to-day decision-making is delegated to senior staff. During 2023/24 Sue McKenna continued as Chief Executive, and Hannah Scott as Operations Director with responsibility for management of service delivery. The Trustees acknowledge the tremendous commitment shown throughout the year by Sue, Hannah and the rest of the staff team and the immense contribution of our many volunteers.
The remuneration of the Chief Executive is determined by the Trustees. Remuneration levels of all other staff are the responsibility of the Chief Executive; these are measured against benchmarking tools including the Trustees’ annual salary review and local comparators.
The Charity has up-to-date policies and procedures for the recruitment, induction and training of trustees to ensure that individuals are fully aware of their roles within the organisation and their responsibilities both internally and within the wider field of charity law. The Trustees regularly review the risks facing the charity through the maintenance of a Risk Register. Where major risks are identified, systems are put in place to mitigate their effect.
Trinity Winchester Supported Housing, Trinity’s wholly owned subsidiary company, was dormant in 2023/24.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

They 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 other irregularities.
In so far as the Trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
-
the Trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF TRINITY WINCHESTER
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Trinity Winchester (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
-
the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
-
the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the Charity’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF TRINITY WINCHESTER
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Charity 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:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
13
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF TRINITY WINCHESTER
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees 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.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’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 Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our 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.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Extent to which the audit was capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities even though the audit has been properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the charity, and the sector in which it operates. These include but are not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006, UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, The Charity SORP for statutory accounting compliance and Care Quality Commission, health and safety and food hygiene standards for operational compliance for the sector.
14
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS OF TRINITY WINCHESTER
-
We obtained an understanding of how the charity is complying with these frameworks through discussions with management.
-
We enquired with management whether there were any instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations or whether they had knowledge of actual or suspected fraud. These enquiries are corroborated through follow-up audit procedures including but not limited to a review of legal and professional costs, correspondence and a review of board .
-
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including the risk of fraud and management override of controls. We designed our audit procedures to respond to this assessment, including the identification and testing of any related party transactions and the testing of journal transactions that arise from management estimates, that are determined to be of significant value or unusual in their nature .
-
We assessed the appropriateness of the collective competence and capabilities of the engagement team, including consideration of the engagement team’s knowledge and understanding of the sector in which the charity operates in, and their practical experience through training and participation with audit engagements of a similar nature.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Charity'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 Charity'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 Charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Year ended 31 March 2024
1 General information
Trinity Winchester is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and is registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is: Bradbury House, Durngate Place, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 8DX.
2 Accounting policies
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with the exception of investments which are included at market value.
Trinity Winchester meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at the transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The financial statements are presented in sterling (£), which is also the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
The Trustees, in accordance with The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Chapter 3 paragraph 19, have taken advantage of the exemption relating to the requirement to prepare group accounts on the basis that the inclusion of the subsidiary undertaking is not material for the purposes of giving a true and fair view.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. Included within unrestricted funds are designated funds which the Trustees have set aside for future specific purposes or projects. Funds that have been designated for specific purposes do not form part of the free reserves of the charity.
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, together with an appropriate allocation of management and support costs.
Incoming resources
Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which they are receivable. Donated assets are included in the accounts when received. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
Investment income
Investment income consists of bank interest and 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.
Donated goods
Donated goods are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item 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; for more information about their contribution refer to the Trustees’ Annual Report.
Housing income
Housing benefit and rent received direct from residents are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Expenditure
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. They include attributable VAT which is not recovered. For day to day purposes, resources expended may be allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity or allocated across activities as follows: staff costs according to time spent on each activity, premises and office costs on the basis of funding allocated for the purpose. However, as Trinity's day service model is one of integrated services, expenditure across the services provided is not separated out by activity in Note 8.

2 Accounting Policies (continued)
Operating leases
Operating lease rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the period of the lease.
Pension costs
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the Charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The charge for the year represents contributions payable in the year to defined contribution schemes.
Governance costs
Governance costs are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, exclusive of VAT.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from Corporation Tax on its charitable activities.
Buildings
Leasehold land has been made available at a peppercorn rent from Winchester City Council. Buildings are shown at cost, inclusive of fees.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets over £5,000 are capitalised, increased from £2,000 by the Trustees in April 2020, and are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost, less estimated residual values, of all fixed assets except land, over their expected useful lives. It is calculated at the following rates:
| Buildings and pipework | 2% Straight line method |
|---|---|
| Roofing and flooring | 3.33% Straight line method |
| Lighting and toilets | 4% Straight line method |
| Fencing | 5% Straight line method |
| Equipment | 33% Straight line method |
| Furniture & fittings | 33% Straight line method |
For tangible fixed asset purchases from 1 April 2019, components of purchases, buildings in this case, are assessed separately for their useful economic life for depreciation purposes. Components that are required to be depreciated separately are those that have a cost that is significant in relation to the cost of an asset.
Investment assets
Investment assets are initially recognised at cost on acquisition and are disclosed at market value at the balance sheet date.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Year ended 31 March 2024
2 Accounting Policies (continued)
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.
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 discounts due.
Deferred income
Income is deferred where the charity is not yet entitled to the use of the resources. When the pre-conditions for use are met then the income is released.
Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are recognised at transaction value.
Significant judgements and estimation uncertainty
Preparation of the financial statements may require management to make significant judgements and estimates. There are no items in the financial statements where judgements and estimates would have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
