governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to
charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and
Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
Since the Company qualifies as a small business under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic
report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors'
Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
General context
The major challenge this year which has cut across all our services is staff recruitment. As exemplified in the
general recruitment market Emmanuel House has found it very difficult to recruit staff for a wide range of roles.
This has impacted on our data, in some cases reducing the number of people we have been able to work with. It
also meant that in some cases we had to recruit less experienced staff added to which was the need to
provide basic training. This recruitment also increased our spend on HR.
This alongside an increase in the
demand for homelessness services and increase in the wellbeing needs of beneficiaries made for challenging
Objectives and activities
a. Purpose
The Charity Emmanuel House Support Centre is established to deliver services for the benefit of homeless and
vulnerable adults. The Charity does not and shall not discriminate on the grounds of protected characteristics as
described in the Human Rights Commission on any basis in any of its activities on its operations.
The vision for Emmanuel House is to make a positive difference in the lives of people who are homeless,
vulnerable to homelessness, to make a valuable and purposeful contribution to the community of Nottingham
and the surrounding area and to be of public benefit. Emmanuel House is committed to and has undertaken
activities in the past year preventing homelessness, intervening in homelessness and aiding recovery from
homelessness.
It is an active partner with other statutory and voluntary sector agencies and services that
contribute to or have the purpose of eliminating homelessness. Emmanuel House aspires to remain true to its
values and to continue evolving to provide quality services unique to the city of Nottingham for people who need
them.
We provide diverse and accessible services that meet basic need, providing vulnerable people with the means to
be able to make informed decisions about their welfare and take practical steps to overcome issues that have
become barriers to moving out of homelessness, or that threaten a return into homelessness. We support
people to make positive changes in their lives and our open access drop-in provision and shelter are the only
services of their kind in the city. With the exception of a risk assessment there are no criteria or thresholds that
exclude anyone from accessing Emmanuel House.
We take a holistic approach to meeting peoples' needs
including material, practical, emotional, social and spiritual needs, using a person-centred approach.

Public Benefit Statement
The Board of Trustees consider the work of Emmanuel House to be of Public Benefit to people who are
homeless, people at risk of homelessness, people who are vulnerable and have complex needs and the
community at large. The Board believes the charity provides a return of investment particularly to Nottingham
City, in that, the cost of successfully intervening with someone who is homeless, which is the charity's first
objective, far outweighs the cost to the community of leaving someone homeless. The charity adds value to the
with beneficiaries that do not qualify for services elsewhere and for many of them, find satisfactory solutions
mediated by attention to a person's humanity and building positive and trustful relationships.
The Board is
attentive to ensuring the work of the charity is consummate with its Constitution and regularly examines the
charity's financial position ensuring it is secure for the foreseeable future.
Public benefit that flows from this work is:
• reduction in the number of people who are homeless
•
prevention in the rise of numbers of people becoming homeless
• improved well-being for a specific group of marginalised citizens
• added value to statutory services
•
citizens being able to access services that do not meet statutory criteria
b. Main objectives and strategies for the year
The priorities for the year were to continue to attend to our income as there was no evidential indication as to
whether there was consistent sufficient underpinning the charity to provide assuredness for the immediate future.
Investment was made in building relationships with different sectors in the community and particularly business
to ensure Emmanuel House has a raised profile and in as much as can be known, that the charity is in the
foremost mind of the community.

c. Assessment and support plans
Support Workers undertake assessments to understand the needs of beneficiaries to inform the support plan.
Where possible the assessments and support plans dovetail with other plans for beneficiaries provided by other
services. Support plans are person centred and strengths based, recognizing the skills, knowledge, capabilities
and goals of the beneficiary so they can be part of the solution towards achieving positive and sustainable

Achievements and performance
a. Open access services
During the reporting period, our open access drop-in services have continued to provide essential support to
people experiencing homelessness, social isolation, and hardship due to the cost-of-living crisis. The service is
designed as a safe and welcoming environment where beneficiaries can access basic facilities, hot meals,
advice, and a range of activities that promote wellbeing and social inclusion.

Service delivery and impact
During the year the drop-in delivered a total of 10,790 visits, a substantial rise from 7,297 last year. The drop-in
meals grew dramatically to 11,214, up from 2,496, following the removal of charges and relaunch of our Lunch
Club. We also provided clothing; hygiene support and structured wellbeing activities that helped reduce social
isolation among beneficiaries.
Partnerships and support delivered
We collaborated with health services and DWP in daily and weekly sessions respectively. These helped over
100 individuals access benefit support they previously lacked. Our wrap-around casework enabled 129 people
to find shelter, 57 to move into supported accommodation, our 33 individuals into private rented housing. We
also placed 16 people into employment, volunteering or training and helped 34 feel less lonely through service
engagement.
Operational Developments
This year we introduced new digital information screens in our main service centre and charity shop, faciliating
improved psychologically informed communication with beneficiaries. We have also made progress on funding
bids for LED lighting aimed at improving our environmental sustainability and reducing long-term running costs.
Challenge
The expansion in meal provision has strained resources, and staff recruitment remains challenging. We are
actively exploring funding to appoint a dedicated chef to maintain quality of scale.

b. Culturally specific mental health support: programme overview
Service purpose and referral pathways
This service supports individuals from minoritised communities experiencing mental health difficulties, who are
homeless or living in unsuitable housing. Referrals are received from mental health services, community
organisations, health visitors, and through self-referral via word of mouth. Clients commonly face barriers such
as language differences, low literacy, and difficulty navigating health and housing systems. The service works
proactively to reduce stigma, challenge cultural misconceptions about mental health, and empower beneficiaries
to access appropriate services. The service is guided by a steering group whose membership is made of the
service manager, support staff, people with lived experience, and people from related culturally specific services.
To improve accessibility we rented an office in the city making access to support staff more available.
A significant proportion of clients are parents with young children residing in overcrowded or poorly maintained
accommodation. Key service interventions have included:
Case studies
Jamacian male client with learning difficulties
Sustained domestic abuse and exploitation over several years, resulting in homelessness. Unable to evidence
prior addresses for Housing Solutions due to coercion and abuse. The service facilitated medical appointment
attendance and is coordinating a multi agency team meeting to secure urgent practical support.
Mongolian family of five
Became homeless with no local connection or welfare entitlements. Housing Solutions and social care initially
declined support, offering two days of emergency food and accommodation. The service's counsellor intervened
by arranging an immediate Home Office visit, securing long?term housing and financial support, thereby
preventing homelessness for the children.
Couple from Iran
advocacy led Housing Aid to reverse their decision. The family were housed in hotels until temporary
accommodation became available.
Young family with two children
Living conditions adversely affecting the children's health. The support worker advocated continuously with
Housing Solutions, securing temporary accommodation followed by social housing. This process required
months of sustained coordination and direct staff involvement.
Service Challenges
The duration clients remain on support pathways has increased compared to prior years, due to heightened
complexity in accessing affordable housing, more multifaceted client needs, and longer waiting times for
statutory services.
In addition we have not appointed a Community development Outreach Worker, despite
interviewing several candidates.
Performance Data
Between March 2024 and April 2025, the culturally specific service supported 32 new clients, from the following
countries and communities: Gambia, Iran, the Caribbean, Jamaica, Afghanistan, Portugal, and Denmark.

Outlook and Next Steps
Building on the progress to date, we will continue to develop and formalise the Culturally Specific Steering Group
to drive service growth. Future priorities include:
further co-creating service identity and governance and minoritised community representatives
improve communication of services by providing multi-lingual information
recruit a Community Development Outreach Worker.
c. Night Shelter
Nottingham Winter Shelter 2024-2025
The 2024-2025 seasons marked a significant transaction for the Nottingham Winter Shelter, as it operated
exclusively from the second floor of Emmanuel House Support Centre for the first time. This move brought
notable advantages in cost-efficiency, logistical management, and access to day services for guests. The shelter
opened on 14 October 2024 and ran until 7 April 2025, offering up to 30 beds per night across a 25-week
period
This season saw 129 guests accommodated for at least one night, down from 190 in 2023-24. While the
reduced number reflects stricter risk and support assessments rather than diminished demand - there were 284
referrals in total - it underscores the increased complexity of guest needs. Of these referrals, around one-third
were never followed up, while 62 were declined, largely due to high-risk behaviour or support needs beyond the
shelter's capacity.
In total, the shelter delivered 2,510 bed-nights, averaging 100 per week, less than half the level of the previous
season. The average stay per guest fell to 19 nights (from 30), suggesting greater movement into informal or
temporary arrangements rather than rapid progression into long-term accommodation.
Demographically, the shift towards a predominantly non-British and refugee/asylum seeker population
continued and intensified. This population brought new challenges related to immigration status, income
insecurity, and mental health. A quarter of guests had no income, often because of restrictions on public funds.
Issues linked to the withdrawal of Home Office accommodation and delays in accessing benefits or
employment contributed to higher levels of homelessness among new refugees.
Despite a more complex client group, the shelter achieved positive move-on outcomes for 52 guests (40%),
broadly in line with previous years. The introduction of Francis House, a 7-bed supported accommodation
project funded through the DUHC Shelter Transformation Fund, provided an additional move-on pathway and
strengthened the overall accommodation network.
Operationally, the shelter adopted a 12-hour overnight model (8:00 p.m.-8:00 a.m.), with guests able to
access Emmanuel House's day centre facilities the following morning. This arrangement balanced the benefits of
continuity of care with resource constraints. While occupancy was lower, staff noted improved behaviour among
guests, with fewer evictions for anti-social conduct and greater reliance on informal networks.
Overall, the 2024-25 Winter Shelter remained a vital lifeline amid ongoing housing shortages and systemic
barriers faced by asylum seekers and refugees. Staff and volunteers are commended for their commitment in
managing a season of transition and maintaining effective move-on outcomes under increasingly complex
operational conditions.

Brief WBST City Case Studies
An individual residing in temporary accommodation was referred to Emmanuel House following his discharge
from the Homeless Mental Health team. They primarily required support with issues stemming from their autism
spectrum disorder, anxiety and social isolation. We supported this individual to go to GP appointments, take part
in social activities and to enter full-time employment. They have also been supported into applying for university
and are set to attend this September.
We have supported an individual who came to Emmanuel House with concerns surrounding alcohol use, in
addition to depressive thoughts and suicidal ideation. They were supported into receiving and engaging with
recovery support services and now attend weekly chats for emotional support. They have also been supported
with their management of finances and with finding more affordable accommodation.

A gentleman presented at Emmanuel House, when he was living on the streets of Nottingham following a
relationship breakdown and due to his physical health issues he was placed in temporary housing which has now
become permanent. We have supported him with furnishing his flat, for him and his 3 children, through
applications to The Arches project and Street Aid. We have supported him with evidence for his successful PIP
tribunal working with Disability Support. We have also supported with a bus pass application and support at
medical appointments.

March 2024 to March 2025 - 49 people were supported
• April 2023 to March 2024 - 24 people were supported (45 people supported in 22/23)
e. Mental Health Outreach (County)
Aims and objectives of service
The contract with NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG was renewed in August 2023 and will run for three
years.
This service
provides time-limited mental health support for adults experiencing homelessness in
Nottinghamshire who are not currently engaged with statutory health services (e.g. primary care or mainstream
mental health services). The aim is to help individuals stabilise and build the confidence and capacity needed to
access and engage with long-term, mainstream mental health support.
The service aimed to:
• Provide
a persistent, strength-based approach to engaging individuals at risk of or experiencing
homelessness.
• Deliver appropriate advice, support, and evidence-based brief interventions for people experiencing
homelessness and mental health challenges.
• Offer telephone-based advice and assistance to both individuals and partner organisations.
Signpost individuals to appropriate statutory and non-statutory services supporting physical health, mental
health, and overall wellbeing.
Develop joint plans with partners to deliver proactive, person-centred interventions addressing the health and
wellbeing needs of each individual.
• Support individuals to stabilise their mental health and broader needs (e.g. housing, substance use) through
strength-based engagement and planning.
• Facilitate appropriate access to mainstream services through positive advocacy and strong partnership
working.
• Collaborate with other agencies involved in a person's care to identify access needs and co-develop
strategies that support the successful delivery of interventions or treatment.
Service description/care pathway
The service provides physical presence at appropriate venues to meet the needs of individuals with housing
connection to South County boroughs and continuity of support and undertook risk assessments, strength based
personalised support plans to identify areas where physical or mental health support was needed.
Face to face support was in the form of assertive outreach and delivered in a range of settings that are flexible to
the individual including street based, community and housing. The service provided practical and emotional
support to liaise with wider health, social care and housing agencies on behalf or with beneficiaries to maximise
their ability to access services and achieve their goals across a range of areas (eg. telephone GP Practice with
prescribing query, accompany to mental health service appointment or support to complete housing or benefits

f. Volunteering
Volunteering continues to be a cornerstone of the charity's operations. Total volunteer hours at Emmanuel
House have increased, demonstrating a deeper individual commitment among those who have returned. The
Board extends heartfelt gratitude to every volunteer - without their contributions, our impact would be significantly
Volunteers contribute far more than completing tasks. Through their interactions and dedication across diverse
roles - such as shop assistants, cooks, administrators, and event helpers - they enhance the experience of
beneficiaries and allow our staff to focus intensively on providing direct support.
Once again, volunteers in our charity shop set a new record for income generated - a vital contribution to our
annual balance of income and expenditure. In addition to retail work, volunteers also prepare meals, assist with
administration, and support a wide array of centre functions.
Corporate volunteer teams from the business community deserve additional recognition. These groups
contribute to a variety of ways - not least by helping to serve breakfast - but they offer much more than practical
The interactions between these corporate volunteers and our beneficiaries are marked by
professionalism and human warmth. Their courteous, respectful engagement plays a vital role in restoring dignity
and reinforcing the supportive ethos that Emmanuel House embodies. These one-off corporate volunteering
days provide invaluable contributions. Feedback from business teams consistently reflects that learning about
homelessness and its human impact is as meaningful to them as the tasks they undertake.
Emmanuel House remains profoundly grateful to every individual and team - from local volunteers to corporate
groups—whose efforts enhance our mission and deepen our impact.

g. Fundraising activities
Emmanuel House has continued to build on the strong foundations of previous years, with 2024-2025 showing
both resilience and innovation in Marketing and Fundraising. Positive trends are evident across multiple income
streams, excluding charity shop takings, specific contracts, and reclaimed Gift Aid, while focusing on public
donations, charitable trusts, legacies, fundraising events, and winter shelter contributions. Despite a challenging
economic climate, annual income is projected to remain healthy, supported by a diverse range of donors
including companies, charitable trusts, individuals, faith groups, community organisations, and legacy gifts.
Regular giving continues to provide a stable base of almost £6,000 per month, while event income and targeted
campaigns are delivering
partnerships - though facing a small dip compared to last year - are generating significant opportunities through
both financial contributions and in-kind support. Emmanuel House has maintained a focus on authentic
storytelling and collaborative relationships, encouraging volunteer involvement and community engagement.
Looking forward, the priority will be to expand brand awareness, deepen donor stewardship, and build on the
momentum of flagship events such as the Robin Hood Half Marathon, ensuring Emmanuel House remains
synonymous with 'Nottingham charity' and continues to maximise every fundraising opportunity.

Board developments
In the year the Board improved its capacity in recruiting two new members recognising that it had a gap in
experience and recruited one new female member with lived experience of homelessness and one new member

Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt
the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going
concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Financial performance
For the financial year 2024-2025, Emmanuel House reported a total income of £1,039,887. This reflects a
sustained high level of activity, following
an exceptional prior year. The Board of Trustees reports a net
expenditure of £209,312 for the year, a result of strategic investment in services, building and infrastructure to
secure the charity's long-term future.
Income Breakdown
• Donations and Legacies: Total donations and legacies were £578,155. While this is a decrease from the
previous year's exceptional high, which included several one-off legacies, income from our core supporters
remained robust, demonstrating continued commitment to our cause. We are deeply grateful to the many
individuals, community groups, businesses, and trust funds that have remained steadfast in their support.
• Unrestricted Funds: Our unrestricted funds have been strategically utilised and now stand at £716,841,
providing essential support for our core work and future development.
• Charity Shop: Thanks to the dedication of our volunteers, income from non-charitable trading activities,
predominantly the charity shop, saw a significant increase to £62,590.
• Bank Interest: We received £15,165 in bank interest during the year.
We express particular gratitude to the various trust funds that continue to support our work, especially those
providing restricted funding for specific projects.
Expenditure Overview
Total expenditure for the year amounted to £1,249,199, which is an increase of £233,441 compared to 2023-
2024.
• Staffing Costs: Staff salaries, pensions, and associated costs totalled £905,218, making up 72% of total
expenditure, reaffirming that our staff are our most valuable asset. A substantial amount, £52,533, was spent
on agency
staff (predominately funded from restricted sources), reflecting the ongoing recruitment
challenges faced across the homelessness sector.
Legal and Professional Fees: We incurred £77,651 in legal and professional fees.
Depreciation and Development: The increase in expenditure is significantly attributed to a non-cash
depreciation charge of £90,792 on recent capital investments and strategic spending on our building
development, as the Board progresses plans to create new accommodation.
Our overall expenditure increased, indicating a year of strategic investment in the charity's long-term assets and
service capacity.
Balance Sheet
Emmanuel House ends the financial year in a healthy financial position:
• Unrestricted Funds: These now stand at £716,841.
• Liquid Unrestricted Funds: These remain strong at £522,115.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
While the charity maintains a solid financial base, the trustees remain cautious, particularly about the risks
associated with recruiting and retaining staff and the execution of our strategic capital projects. The Board is
actively managing these risks.
Furthermore, the trustees are addressing future financial considerations concerning the charity's premises,
ensuring that Emmanuel House remains in a strong position to continue its work.
c. Risk
The Board exercises its duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure
appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud or error. For example, roles are
designated with allocated and separated responsibilities.
The Board recognises there are risks to which the
charity is exposed and have systems in place to mitigate those risks. For example, it reviews its Finance Control
Police annually, has in place risk assessments for governance, operation, finance, environmental and external
factors and compliance.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
d. Principal Risks and uncertainties
retention of staff: The charity faces the same market forces in the community as other
charities and businesses as it finds itself in direct competition for staff. People who traditionally have worked in
the voluntary sector for the satisfaction of machining a difference in society have been forced for economic
reasons to apply for jobs with commercial higher waged employers.
Risk mitigation: the Board has attended to providing an uplift in salaries that brings the charity's salaries more
in line, as far as it can, with local rates of pay in the sector. There has been continuous review and assessment
of best outlets for advertising and implementation of flexible application processes. Additional expertise was
accessed to aid recruitment. The organistion gives attention to the welfare of staff ensuring, where appropriate,
reasonable adjustments are made to enable staff receive fulfilment through their job roles. Continuous work
takes place on attending to the work-life balance of staff
Financial sustainability: While other charities in Nottingham have either closed are experiencing major
difficulties, by comparison we have financial stability that gives us confidence of future operating capacity for at
least a further two years. In the short term the Trustees consider this risk to be similar in comparison to last
The Trustees recognise the continuing tentative financial environment that the general population finds
itself in which emerges in the lives of people we employ and to people to whom we deliver services. Effort to
maintain the established momentum associated with fundraising will continue to be an active item on the Boards
agenda.
Risk mitigation: The Trustees recognise the uplift in the profile of the charity in Nottingham. Resources will
continue to be invested in our Marketing and Fundraising team through which come many enquiries about
engaging with the charity and making financial donations. The CEO will continue to assess how Emmanuel
House can offer services that are relevant to beneficiaries but are not provided by the wider system. If available
they will be a source of income for the charity..
Future role and relevance of the charity in the sector: The environment in which Emmanuel House delivers
its services remains extremely challenging due to significant societal and financial dynamics in the past year.
There is a consensus locally that the immediate environment in which services are delivered is the most
challenging it has been for 20 years, with a combination of numerical demand for support and increased level of
needs particularly relating to destitution and mental health. There is a serious shortfall of capacity in the system,
including a lack of suitable, affordable accommodation and increased expenditure related to the cost of services.
It is questionable as to whether women are adequately served. Staff continue to deal with additional challenges
from beneficiaries, as presentations often include high levels of severe and multiple disadvantages, complex
case work, cost-of-living crisis and inflation.
Risk mitigation: The Board will review the staffing resources needed to sustain the charity's quality services
regularly. It will undertake further reviews focusing particularly on succession planning, with special attention to
the development of accommodation provision and all related aspects. This proactive approach aims to ensure
continuity and stability in leadership and services despite the challenging external environment..
e. Reserves policy
As the expenditure increases The Board of Trustees has increased the set aside figure to £325,000 (from
£250,000 in the previous year) to cover six months' worth of operational costs, ensuring that Emmanuel House
can continue its vital work, even in the face of unforeseen challenges. The total unrestricted resevred provide
coverage for approximately 10 months of operational expenditure..

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMANUEL HOUSE SUPPORT CENTRE
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Emmanuel House Support Centre (the 'charitable company') for the
year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Balance sheet, the
Statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its
incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
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 charitable company in accordance
with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom,
including the Financial Reporting Council'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 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 Auditors' 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
the information given in the Trustees' report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial
statements; or
•
sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the
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 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 charitable company or to cease
Page 21

EMMANUEL HOUSE SUPPORT CENTRE

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMANUEL HOUSE SUPPORT CENTRE
(CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with
the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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 Auditors' 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. he extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is
detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the charitiable company and industry, we identify the key laws and regulations
affecting the charitable company. We identified that the principal risk of fraud or non compliance with laws and
regulations related to:
- management bias in respect of accounting estimates and judgementes made;
- management override of control;
- posting of unusual journals or transactions.
We focused on those areas that could give rise to a material misstatement in the charitable company financial
statements.
Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and
claims, including instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance where available;
Reviewing legal expenditure in the year to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations
and fraud
Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance
with applicable laws and regulations.
Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries
and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions
outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.
It is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure
that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the
prevention and detection of fraud.
Page 22

EMMANUEL HOUSE SUPPORT CENTRE
(A company limited by guarantee)
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMANUEL HOUSE SUPPORT CENTRE
(CONTINUED)
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.
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
Auditors' report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely 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 Auditors' 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 its members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the
opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies (continued)
1.4 Income
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a
general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the
income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and
settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of
performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not
recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly
within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to
the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be
met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to
be released.
1.5 Government grants
Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activies on a receivable basis. The balance of
income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant
funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of meeting any performance
related conditions there is not unconditional entitlement to the income and its recognition is deferred
and included in creditors as deferred income until the performance-related conditions are met. Where
entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
1.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit 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.
1.7 Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is
probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs 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 resources, with central 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 allocated based on the
spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities
and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities
and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
