CHAIRPERSON'S AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Due to the extended absence of our CEO because of ill health and with the Charity Commission's agreement and appropriate governance, I have been undertaking an Interim CEO role. This ended in September 2023 when an external interim CEO was appointed. I am therefore completing this report as both Chairperson and CEO for the year under review.

It is hard to believe that at the beginning of the 2022/23 year we were still routinely testing for Covid and were wearing masks in our work and around our building. Confidence amongst our beneficiaries remained very low and there was still reluctance and caution about social proximity.

What a difference a year has made. We are delighted to see people returning to our Resource Centre. We have extended our range of activities and people have returned to their groups, lunch clubs and the café and through the opening of our Warm Hub we have seen many more people meeting socially for coffee and cake or our soup lunches.

Our outreach work in the more rural areas of North Northumberland has continued to expand, with new partnerships being developed and exciting opportunities on the horizon. Our 'Bringo' community transport scheme continues to provide an invaluable service and underpins all of our activities.

I am pleased to report how well our two trading arms are operating. Our Help at Home service provides high quality domiciliary care services to people in their own homes and our Day Centre is thriving, offering social engagement for beneficiaries and respite for family carers.

This year has also been a year of transition for the charity. We have said fond farewells to a number of long serving employees and I want to record my thanks for all they have done to make Bell View what it is today.

We have said a big welcome and hello to those whose responsibility it is to carry the torch forward and to build on what Bell View is and represents in our local communities. Our new staff bring with them a wealth of knowledge and experience and we are delighted to have them on board.

I cannot end without saying thank you to everyone, employees, volunteers, trustees and helpers who make Bell View the success that it is.

A very big thank you!

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Bell View (Belford) is a community charity, based in Belford North Northumberland, providing support and services to scattered rural and coastal towns and villages covering an extensive area up to the border with Scotland.

Bell View exists to support and enable older, vulnerable, disabled or disadvantaged people and those who care for them to "live well".

"Living Well" includes the whole person, the environment within which they live and the social engagement and participation they have access to.

We aim to:

The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

CHARITY ACTIVITIES

We continued to support our beneficiaries during the year and welcomed a number of new faces: Juliet Short our Services Manager, Joanne Leightley and Katie Walker at reception, Kat Lee a Finance Assistant, Beth Asquith an additional Social Activities Co-ordinator and Brian Cafferty our new Facilities Manager. Since the year-end Jerry Mitchinson joined us as Outdoors Co-ordinator and in August 2023 we welcomed Ann Gibbons as our Interim CEO. We have also welcomed many new volunteers.

Resource Centre

After the challenges of recent years we are delighted to see people returning to the Resource Centre and we have been working closely with the community to reinstate some activities and introduce new ones.

We have introduced a Warm Hub and Warm Space to ease the pressure of escalating fuel costs by providing coffee, biscuits and soup lunches. We have welcomed the Belford Book Group and reinstated a digital support service 'Tea, Talk & Tech' as well as extending our Mini Gym provision.

Longstanding groups and activities continue to flourish including exercise, arts and craft, music, history, quiz and game nights and social events.

During 2023, we have hosted a Summer Holiday Children's Craft Group, launched a Green Woodworking Group and begun a Gardening Group. These activities have helped to reinvigorate both the indoor and outdoor spaces in Bell View and continue to support the health and wellbeing of the local community.

Whilst there continues to be demand for room hire, the demand for space for face-to-face training has decreased significantly. This is a trend which is echoed across the country following the use of online training platforms during the height of the pandemic and is unlikely to be reversed in the near future. Nevertheless, we continue to work with businesses, groups, individuals and voluntary groups enabling training, pop-up and fundraising events and the development of new programmes.

Our position as the local Community Resilience /Emergency Hub was further strengthened by the addition of a secondary generator and we continue to work with the Community Resilience Team at Northumberland County Council and stakeholders within the local community to ensure a co-ordinated response in the event of an emergency.

Outreach Services

We have continued to provide support in sparsely populated rural areas, providing a range of regular activities in partnership with local communities and village hall committees. We have extended these activities to Beadnell, Bowsden, Cornhill, Glanton and Seahouses.

During 2022-23, we enjoyed live music at our outreach venues. This was very well received with over 70 people attending a coffee morning in Seahouses on one occasion.

Outreach activity included special events throughout the year - from Christmas to the Coronation. We enjoyed an exceptional Saturday Christmas Lunch in Cornhill with approximately 60 residents in attendance for a festive lunch, music, games and a glass of bubbly. We plan to support more celebrations in the coming years.

Quotes:

"Dear all, a huge thank you for the lovely Coronation party you gave us and the way you look after us the year round. You are all amazing."

"The helpers and organisers did a great job. The hall was so "Christmassy" and filled with chatter just what you want. Please pass our thanks to all concerned"

"What truly wonderful staff Bell View had running the event…they really do care. O my word it was amazing, I cannot thank you, your staff and volunteers. My mum loved it and well, it made me cry! You really do care up North, bringing the community together and helping reduce isolation. Keep up the amazing work"

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

"I just wanted to say how much I appreciate Bell View. The staff and helpers are all kind and friendly. There is a lovely warm atmosphere. Bell View is a great asset to Belford and the surrounding area"

From April 2023 we have taken over hosting a weekly session, "The Gathering", in the Glendale Centre at Wooler. Typically, the group arrive for refreshments, board games and conversation in the morning, followed by a cooked lunch. We have implemented a programme of activities, which includes crafts, exercise, films, games, guest speakers and musicians.

We continue to take a proactive approach to working with additional communities.

Food Project

We continued to deliver a food project helping to tackle the dual issues of food waste and food poverty until May 2022. Whilst we continue to distribute food via our Food Share Project and via the Warm Hub and Warm Space, we are not currently distributing food to individuals as demand has fallen significantly during the past year.

Community Transport

Our 'Bringo' scheme continues to provide wheelchair accessible community transport for people who are unable to readily access other means of transport. During 2022-23, we provided approximately 1325 journeys, taking people to and from medical appointments and social activities. We expect demand to increase during 2023-24 and have tentatively begun to undertake some journeys under voluntary car scheme terms, where volunteers use their own cars, in order to meet transport requests. We expect this to give us more flexibility and scope in the future.

We are working with North Northumberland Voluntary Forum Community Transport Steering Group and others, to shape and influence the provision of future community transport in North Northumberland.

Volunteers

Our volunteers are at the heart of all our work. We estimate that our amazing volunteer team have donated approximately 3900 hours during 2022-23.

Our volunteer team has grown by approximately 50% within the last year: the generosity of our growing volunteer team enables us to make a positive difference within our local communities. A huge thank you to each and every volunteer.

Volunteer evening, quote:

"Thank you so much for a lovely sociable evening on Wednesday, not to mention the delicious wine/cheese etc. Bell View is very fortunate to have you all"

Future

Our future plans include establishing further meaningful outdoor pastimes to support social connections and improved wellbeing. The reinvigoration of our outdoor space is already making a difference.

We are expanding our Digital Inclusion Project to include a Digital Support Officer in the near future to encourage improved digital inclusion in North Northumberland. Working in conjunction with The Glendale Gateway Trust, we will provide increased support to local people.

In addition, we hope to develop a Community Shed Project and a Winter Matinee programme.

We are starting to review the efficiency and carbon footprint of our building and how we can adapt and become more energy-efficient into the future.

We continue to work in partnership with the Food Network. We are also collaborating with The Glendale Gateway Trust and the United Reformed Church to explore the concept of a mobile community pantry.

We will continue to take a proactive approach to working with new partners on new initiatives.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

BELL VIEW HELP AT HOME LTD

Bell View Help at Home Limited is a wholly owned social enterprise providing domiciliary care working across Wooler, Berwick, Seahouses, Belford and surrounding areas. The company is under new leadership with the appointment of Cat Wood as Registered Manager in November 2022 and we are pleased to report that we were again rated "Good" by the Care Quality Commission in our most recent inspection. Our team of dedicated and highly trained care professionals take pride in delivering high quality care to clients enabling them to remain in their own homes. The demand for these services has never been greater, with demand currently exceeding our capacity to take on more clients. We continue to invest in recruitment for more carers to join our fabulous team and continue to grow this much valued service.

BELL VIEW CARE LTD

Bell View Care Limited is a wholly owned social enterprise providing day services in our Resource Centre in Belford. The company is under new leadership with the appointment of a new manager, Laura Matthews. We continue to provide a place where people are given practical assistance and the opportunity to socialise with others, whilst receiving the care and support of professionally trained staff. We provide opportunities to be involved with and enjoy meaningful activities such as music, singing, light exercise, games, puzzles, arts and crafts and local day trips. We also offer assisted bathing facilities. We currently transport clients from other areas in North Northumberland to our centre in Belford.

Recognising the growing need for these services and that we have a constant waiting list we are working towards developing sustainable local services in Alnwick and Berwick where demand is evident but there is limited current provision.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The year to 31 March 2023 has been positive with the return of group activities and increasing numbers of people using the Resource Centre and our charitable services. Trading income from room lettings continues to improve year on year albeit this is still only 60% of the levels generated before the pandemic. Fundraising activities have been well supported but income generated from these activities has fallen by 28% as a result of the current economic climate.

The support of funders with cost of living grants and core cost grant funding has been invaluable during this year.

The charity's incoming resources (excluding its subsidiary companies) for the year were maintained, with a slight increase of nearly 3% on the previous year. Grants continue to remain the principal source of funding accounting for 69% of the charity's income (excluding its subsidiary companies), down from 77% in the previous year.

Bell View Care Limited has provided day services throughout the year with daily attendance numbers rising as confidence has returned. As a result the company's turnover increased by 45% compared with the previous year. Increased costs of operating have resulted in profitability remaining the same as the previous year. These profits are being retained to fund future improvements and expansion.

Bell View Help at Home Limited continues to provide quality domiciliary care services with demand currently exceeding the capacity to take on more clients. Turnover increased by 3% compared with the previous year. All of the taxable profits for the year ended 31 March 2023 will be gifted to the charity, providing significant financial support to Bell View in due course.

The total income in the year was £1,282,798 compared to £1,303,469 the year before. At 31 March 2023, the charity had unrestricted reserves of £256,140, an increase of 2.6% from the previous year.

Overall the group has maintained its level of net assets whilst continuing to deliver and expand services to its beneficiaries.

The charity is very grateful to all its funders and supporters throughout 2022/23 with some being mentioned below:

National Lottery Community Fund Garfield Weston Foundation Barbour Foundation The Ballinger Trust Sir James Knott Trust The Joicey Trust E C Graham Belford Charitable Settlement The Community Foundation (Adderstone Fund, The Pargiter Trust, Arts Council Jubilee Fund, The Ringtons Fund, Arnold Clark) FB and PFB Lough Fund The Percy Bilton Charity Royal Warrant Holders Association Charity Fund Northumberland County Council Community Action Northumberland Co-op Local Community Fund Belford Community Group Belford Parish Council Belford Medical Equipment Fund Yorkshire Building Society

Investment Policy:

It is the Trustees' responsibility to safeguard the charity's assets and to decide how to use these assets in order to achieve the charity's aims. In managing these assets, the Trustees are seeking to balance the obligation to safeguard the charity's resources, with a desire to maximise the return achieved, and a need to ensure that funds are available as required to pay for goods and services. This policy sets out how the Trustees aim to achieve this, and is based on the guidance in the Charity Commission's publication CC14 - Charities and Investment Matters.

Page 6

BELL VIEW (BELFORD)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The company has the power to invest in or upon such investments, securities or property as it may think fit. For the time being we are following a low risk investment policy with ease of access and flexible arrangements. If we move to a position where we need to consider further investment in order to maximise return, the Trustees would seek the advice of an independent Financial Advisor on any such investments.

Reserves Policy:

The Management Committee has reviewed the charity's requirements for reserves, in particular as a result of the impact of the pandemic and future uncertainty. It was decided that the aim would be to have sufficient unrestricted reserves to cover six months running costs for the Resource centre, including staff costs. At 31 March 2023 these amounts were £41,548 and £67,178 respectively and are shown in designated funds.

Other designated funds are detailed in the notes to the accounts

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Bell View (Belford) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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:

AUDITORS

The auditors, Greaves Grindle, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on ............................................. and signed on its behalf by:

........................................................................ Mrs K F Binder - Trustee

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BELL VIEW (BELFORD)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Bell View (Belford) (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, the Charity Statement of Financial Activities, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including 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:

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 Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable company 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

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group’s or parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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:

Page 10

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BELL VIEW (BELFORD)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the report of the trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 9, the trustees (who are also the directors of the parent charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 group’s and parent charitable company’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 group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with those Acts.

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.

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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of our audit procedures, we assessed the systems and internal controls of the charitable company and its subsidiaries to help us understand the subsceptibility of the financial statements of the group to material misstatement, including those misstatements arising from non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud.

Laws and regulations that are of direct significance to the group financial statements include Companies Act 2006, Charities Act 2011, Income Tax Act 2007, Corporation Tax Act 2010 and other laws and regulations that concern Companies House, the Charity Commission and HM Revenue and Customs. Those laws and regulations of significance to the entity but of indirect significance to the financial statements include the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Care Quality Commission (Registration) Regulations 2009.

In particular, we assessed the susceptibility of the group to fraud, by considering the internal controls applying to significant parts of its operations, including but not limited to income recognition, payments to staff and suppliers, and the security of cash and other assets. We also addressed the risk of management override of controls by investigating any entries and transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. The engagement partner reviewed all work done to ensure this was adequate and carried out with due professional scepticism.

Page 11

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF BELL VIEW (BELFORD)

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s trustees 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members and trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Charitable activities
