**St Pancras Community Association The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Trustees and Directors as at 31[st] March 2023** 

Georgia Eracleous Alexander Smith Wende Roserie Mary O’Hara Shelagh Mary O’Gorman Aceil Haddad Natalie Jobling Peter Roger Tynan – Resigned June 2022 

Company Secretary Fariba Maleknia Chief Executive Officer Graham Cobb – Left in July 2022 Angela Lewis – From September 2022 

## **Purpose** 

Saint Pancras Community Association is a charity delivering high quality services for Camden residents, in the lively and diverse community of the St Pancras and Somers Town ward. 

## **Values** 

Our work has four key themes: 

**To improve health outcomes** by encouraging healthy lifestyles among local people who would not otherwise take regular exercise, eat healthily or manage their mental or physical health. We offer free weekly exercise classes including football for children aged 8+, Fitness Fusion for adults and Reggae Aerobics for the whole family amongst other opportunities. This year we opened a Community Kitchen and Warm Space to support local residents through the cost of living crisis and provide them a home-from-home to improve their overall wellbeing. 

## **To reduce social isolation among people aged 60** +. Our Golden Years 

programme offers a wide-ranging 

programme of events including, yoga, tai chi, bingo, music, arts & crafts, outings and shared lunches that bring older people together. 

**To give young families a better start in life.** We have established a nursery for 20 children, and host Stay and Play sessions for Parents and Carers from ages 0-5. 

**To support Community Pride.** We want to support our residents in time of need and have set up an SPCA Winter Boutique so visitors can pick up warm clothes donated by the community. We have offered free legal clinics focusing on Housing and Immigration as well as legal masterclasses in How to Start a Business. We have facilitated Community Events from celebrating festivities through to fundraising. 

## **Policies** 

SPCA has a comprehensive policy framework.  All our organisational and 


3 | P a g e 



## **St Pancras Community Association The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

operational policies  are reviewed on an ongoing basis. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit as set out in the Charities Act 2006, and believe that SPCA achieves a public benefit by providing the services described below. 

The principal activities of the charity during the year continued to support the wellbeing of the Camden Community. 

- Nursery provision (3 days a week). 

- Golden Years programme with a range of activities for over 60s. 

- Community Kitchen and Warm Space in response to the Cost of Living Crisis. 

- Wellbeing classes to keep the community fit and healthy. 

- An outdoor space for all generations to use. 

- Safe place for local people to meet and connect. 

## **Volunteers** 

The Trustees (who are volunteers themselves) and Director are grateful to the many volunteers who have shared their time and expertise helping with: 

- Running our Golden Years Programme 

- Volunteering at our Community Kitchen and Warm Space 

- Running Community and Fundraising Events 

- Helping with our admin 

We held VolunteerFest in March 2023 to onboard new volunteers. 

## **Activities, Achievements and Outcomes** 

## **Community Kitchen and Warm Space** 

Following a private donation from a generous local couple who gave us £3600 to start the project, our Community Kitchen and Warm Space launched in November 2022. Operating on 2 evenings a week, on average, we host 40-50 members of the community per session and we provide hot drinks, healthy meals and children’s activities. We have been featured  on the We Make Camden Website - www.wemakecamden.org.uk/spca/. The project is so much more than a hot meal and free drink in a warm welcoming environment. It’s a place where both adults and children have made friends and it connects the community to alleviate loneliness. It’s also a space where people feel safe to talk and can be signposted to further advice and help if they need it including referrals to The Little Village, calls to Housing Authorities and Health Visitors, as well as Food Bank Vouchers. 

Some of the feedback includes: 

‘ _This is the first time I’ve felt full in a long time_ ’, ‘ _The cost of living means I’m not switching on the heating, here I’m warm, fed and I have made loads of friends on the_ 


4 | P a g e 



## **St Pancras Community Association The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

_way’ and ‘I live on my own, I feel really isolated, but my week is much easier knowing that 2 evenings a week I’m somewhere I feel welcome, and somewhere that’s close to home.’_ 

## **Little St Pancras Nursery** 

We continued to give every child an equal opportunity to participate and contribute, regardless of their differences, and encourage them to develop to their full potential. 

This year the needs of the children included autism, deafness, extreme non-verbal behaviour with eating difficulties, speech and language with few words and poor pronunciation, as well as English as an additional language. 

There were 16 children in nursery, 7 of which had additional needs and we sought outside support from the Inclusive Intervention Team (IIT) from Camden Council. Some of the outside agencies that the Nursery Manager worked with are Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist - Service for Children who are Deaf, Whittington Health NHS, Frank Barnes School for Deaf Children and Early Intervention and Prevention. 

Some of the feedback includes: 

_‘My child’s nursery is amazing. The caregivers are dedicated and create a loving environment where children feel happy, learn, and make lasting memories”, ‘I want to say thanks for not just inspiring my son, but me too, to come out of our shells and move forward’ and ‘Thank you for being such amazing teachers! My daughter has enjoyed her time at SPCA nursery and will miss it a lot’._ 

## **Community Garden** 

We were awarded £10K lottery funding in October 2022. Due to the change of directorship and the time commitments from Kentish Town City Farm, our Partner, work only began on the garden mid-March 2023. The remaining funding will be spent in 23/24.  We had a garden permablitz day where 25 volunteers came to the garden to build raised beds and plant seeds in the space. 

The garden is used by all generations, from Early Years in our Nursery and the Stay and Play sessions, as well as being used by our Community Kitchen and Golden Years.  In addition we use the space for community events which included our Xmas Fayre. 

Our next objective is to create more interactive and inclusive gardening events for the whole community.  Developing this space was a great addition to our wellbeing offer. With the well-studied benefits of spending time outside, including benefits to mental health especially in these hard times, we will continue to secure funding to provide many more opportunities for activities and events outdoors, including workshops to help people learn, create connections and also improve their overall wellbeing. 

Some of the feedback includes: 

‘ _We don’t have our own garden, we think of the SPCA Garden as our own’, ‘it’s a_ 


5 | P a g e 



## **St Pancras Community Association The report of the trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

_really safe space for my children to play outside without having to worry about what they are doing’ and ‘it’s great to have some outside space for the kids to play in whilst I spend time in the garden with my friends’._ 

## **Golden Years Programme** 

The programme, funded by City Bridge Trust and Mercers has grown from strength to strength delivering over 48 activities per month, from physical activities including Chair Exercise, Tai Chi and yoga, to Bingo, arts and crafts and drawing, tea parties and outings. 

Our membership was initially free, however the trustees decided to introduce a nominal membership fee of £10 in February 2023 with bursaries available to ensure inclusion. 

Just a few of the many outcomes for our members of this really key project include increased levels of activity leading to improved physical and wellbeing.  Increased self-esteem and the ability to create connections and reduce loneliness. Members are able to maintain their personal interests and hobbies which reaffirm their personality and identity.  All of these benefits improves quality of life and in the long term reduces hospital admission and unnecessary deterioration in health. 

## Some of the feedback includes: 

_‘I love coming here – people are so welcoming, and the classes are great, especially Joe’s drawing class’, ‘The centre itself is welcoming and colourful, it’s a place to relax and meet people whilst attending all the different activities’ and ‘I enjoy coming to the centre because the staff are really nice and polite’._ 

## **Wellbeing programme** 

Our funded wellbeing programme continued to encourage healthy lifestyles among local people who would not otherwise take regular exercise, eat healthily or manage their mental or physical health. Free classes offered include include Fencefit for children, Women’s Fitness Fusion, Reggae Aerobics for the whole family, Childrens 8+ football, Over 30s Men Boxercise and Adult Taekwondo. We have attendance of over 90 participants across our programme per week. 

## **Community and Fundraising events and Workshops** 

We held a variety of events for the community including: 

- Curry and Comedy Fundraising Night 

- Christmas Fayre 

- Salsa Fundraising Night 

- Free Legal Housing Workshop 

- Free Legal Immigration Workshop 

- Free Start your Own Business Workshop

## **Reserves Policy** 

We aim to accumulate sufficient reserves to underwrite 12 months of operational costs excluding the replacement of large capital items. Running costs for 3 months is approx. £98K and we have that in our unrestricted funds. 

## **Financial Review** 

This year our income was £404,829 vs £378,775 (£26,054 higher than previous year). The expenditure was £391,247 vs £374,992 (£16,255 higher than previous year). 

## **Income generation** 

## Indoor Room/Outdoor Pitch Hire 

This year we generated £124,449 vs £89,494 in 2021/2022 (£34,955 increase as we were able to hire our indoor spaces again, post Covid). 

## Funding received 

Funding income for this year was £65,574 vs £87,789in the previous year, a decrease of £22,215. One of the main factors include the Stay and Play contract going to the Early Years Alliance so we received £15K less than we did in 2021/2022. 

Last year we received £56,574 which was not repeated this year from the following grants:  Community Impact Fun, Francis Crick HS2 – Health Living, LBC 0S106 Garden and CJRS. 

This year new funding, totalling £56,429 came from: Camden Local Inclusion Funding, LBC Community Kitchen and Warm Space, LBC Resilience Fund for our Wellbeing Programme, National Lottery Community Fund for our Community Garden. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Board believe that some financial risks are future commercial rent, maintenance costs and the unprecedented increase in utilities and fuel costs.  Alongside this, general wage inflation needs to be factored in. Securing funding has got harder throughout the sector, as discussed in a VAC CEO networking meeting. We have reserves to cover 3 months operating costs to help offset some risks. 

## **Plans for the Future** 

Since March 2022, we’ve been through an unpredictable challenge of having to close the Centre for 4 month. This was following a major drying and refurbishment programme following a flood in November 2022 due to a burst Thames Water pipe. A lot of time has had to be spent planning and implementing this programme to ensure our key projects are carried out. 

Despite this, we were able to hire external spaces to keep our Golden Years

sessions running, this included using our Community Garden for some sessions. We also continued with our Community Kitchen in the garden too. Plans for the future include: 

- Securing future funding to grow our Golden Years activities with a focus on diversity and inclusion. 

- From 21[st] November 2023, our Community Kitchen and Warm Space will Partner with  FoodCycle Food Surplus charity one evening week.  In addition to providing the community with hot drinks a healthy meal, company etc, we will now be doing it with surplus food. 

- Driven by our investment in and current implementation of CRM we are now embarking on a journey of digital transformation. The key success criteria of this digital transformation project is to reduce the amount of staff time taken in the member journey from new memberships, to renewals and all of the administrative tasks in between. Ultimately this will help to increase the capacity of our staff as well as future proofing the programme delivery ensuring that standard procedures are followed no matter who is managing the programmes. 

- Active promotion of our hall hire business, which hasn’t taken place before, to grow our unrestricted funding to cover operational costs.  We will also be introducing and promoting a Children’s party package. 

- Helping with getting the community into work with 3 Employability Workshops in January delivered in partnership with KX Recruit, to focus on CV writing, job search and interview techniques. 

- Planning and implementation of some youth events, leading to securing future funding to implement a youth programme.  This is a demographic that we do not cater for at the moment. 

- Securing future funding for all our current projects as well as new projects we want to implement. 

- Actively searching for new partnerships to help us offer a wider range of help for the community. 

- We will be holding more frequent Events and Fundraisers including a Welcome Back event for our re-opening of the Centre after refurbishment work, Xmas Fayre, Salsa Night, Legal Clinics and many more. 

- Seeking to work with local businesses to reduce costs and drive revenue through donations. 

- Actively making new strategic partnerships as well as nurturing current ones, including WM College and our forthcoming collaboration with Food Cycle. 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity.

## _**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. 

## _**Taxation**_ 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## _**Leasing**_ 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. 

## _**Debtors**_

## _**Creditors, deferrals and provisions**_ 

Creditors and provisions are liabilities where we have a present obligation to a third party that we shall normally pay by cash. Provisions are measured or estimated as reliably as possible. 

Where performance-related conditions are specified in a grant, the income will only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the facility or service.   Any income received in advance of the conditions being met are deferred and shown under creditors. 

## _**Retirement benefits**_ 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## _**Lease**_ 

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to income on a straightline basis over the term of the relevant lease.

## _**Critical accounting estimates and judgements**_ 

In the application of the Charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
