and other commissioner-specific standards. St Basils has no slalulory obligation lo provide Se￿iceS but
many of the services provided are covered by legislation inclurjino Children Acts, which apply lo all service
piovision for young people and children.
Covid -19
Throughout 2020121 we have worked within the context of Covid-19 ensuring that our services remained
accessible for young people. We have adapted continuoLJsly and kept all services open throughout the year
and have supported some 748 young people al any one time within our seNices. All colleagues have been
able to work with none furloughed We are hugely proud and grateful lo our young people, our staff and
volunteers, OLJr partners and supporters for their creative and compassionate responses and continue lo
take an inlenlionally cautious approach lo keep everyone safe and well, whilst never losing sight of our
Mission and principles. We identified risks associated with charitable fundraising and reviewed our budget
accordingly. We have exceeded our revised budget expectslions.
Our Hlstory
Since opening our doors in Sl Basils, church in Digbelh, Birmingham in 1972 to young men experiencing
homelessness, we have maintained the same core objective
lo prevent homelessness being part of
growing up.
In the 49 years since then, we have extended our accommodation, support and prevention services across
Birmingham and other parts of the Wesl Midlands, including Solihull, Coventry, Sandwell, Walsall, North
Worcestershire and Warwickshire.
We have not only dealt with the presenting needs of some 3,000+ young people each year, bul have also
invested in systemic change, developing the national Positive Accommodation and Support Pathways for
young people in 2012, refreshed in 2015 and 2017 and more recently in 2019120. We have invested in
becoming a Psychologically Informed Environment since 2011 and now provide consultancy, training and
support to many other organi5alions lo assist them in improving their services. We have continually
committed to ensuring that young people have voice and influence our own policies, priorities and services
and since 2009 have been commissioned by national government lo facililale National Youth Voice, initially
National Youth Reference Group and since 2013, National Youth Homeless Parliament, ensuring that
government Ministers and those developing policies and programmes have the benefit of the lived
experience of young people who have been homeless.
We have invested in accredited training and employability programmes and have piloted schemes such as
our award winning Live and Work Programme lo provide affordable, safe homes for young people whe
they can live, work. learn and earn wilhoul having lo dual navigate a complex welfare benefits system.
Homelessness is rooted in FX)verty, inequality and exclusion and Sl Basils has consislenlly championed
those who have not benefited from our mainstream systems. Tackling inequ21ily and promoting inclusion
and ensuring the diverse needs of young people are mel, remains one of our six strategic priorities. Enabling
young people lo develop their talents and skills and grow their confidence lo move towards study and work
underpins our approach.
In 2020121, 3,860 young people sought our assistance, each one with their own experience, challenges,
strengths and aspirations. Our job remains lo work with them lo remove the barriers which prevent
achievement and to nurture their talent, skills and confidence lo enable them lo achieve their polenlial.
We will continue this work with young people, partners and supporters for as long as it lakes.

The more that young people can be engaged in deciding about their own lives, their environment, and their
communities, the more likely they are to successfully move into independence. Our challenge is lo create
active not passive services which engage with the young person in co-creating a journey which provides
both challenge and support. Increasingly we are focLJssing on developing skills and confidence which enable

We believe il is not possible lo provide services effectively to young people from diverse communities unless
you reflect those communities at all levels within your organisation. We will promote and sustain our diversity
by engaging with the diverse communities we serve as employers, service providers and conlribulors lo
local neighbourhoods. We will work with young people supporting and molivaling them lo play an active
part in securing the future of their communities, promoting cross community cohesion and breaking down
barriers which might exist.

Our Principles to work by
Our sevon Principlès to Work by, describe what we belleve in and should help us descrlbe what this
means to all who work wlth us.
1. Young People First
This is at the heart of everything we do. By putting the needs and aspirations of young people as our top
priority, we will ensure that our policies and practices assist them lo secure their futures and realise their
potential. We will recognise and promote their achievements and challenge negative images which create
barriers and reinforce slereolypes.
2. Everybody Counts
We believe that everyone has an important contribution to make and a viewpoint which matters. We will
adopt an open and inclusive approach which ensures that the views, ideas, beliefs, and interests of all our
stakeholders are considered and dealt with in a respectful way.
3. Strength and Unity through Dlversity
Our diversity is our strength and we are united in our purpose through a collective framework of principles
and priorities. Like the pieces in a jigsaw, we are all different but only by fitting together, is the whole picture
complete.
We believe that our different experiences. skills, and heritage beller enable us collectively lo respond to the
individual needs and experiences of the young people who come lo us.
4. Working and Learning with Others
Sl Basils recognises that in order to provide the best possible servi￿8 for young people we musl work with
others who have specific knowledge, skills, and expertise in areas where we do not. Within our organisalion
and in our dealings with external partners, we believe we can make a greater difference when working
together. We will also share our learning of what works and what doesn't and learn from the experience of
others.
5. Delivery and Effectiveness
It is essential that we are able lo demonslrale our effectiveness and that we 'do what we say we're going lo
do,. If we claim that 'SI Basils works.
we have lo be prepared lo evidence the outcomes of what we do.
Our commitment lo continuous improvement means that we must constantly question our effectiveness and
strive to improve our services and evidence the impact of what we do from our customers, perspective.
6. Accountability
We are individually and Collectively accountable for our work and the promotion of Sl Basils, objectives and
principles. We recognise the balance between rights and responsibilities and encourage accountability for
the promotion of both. We recognise our range of a¢countabililiÈs lo all our stakeholders and seek lo be
consislenl and open in their delivery. We are regulated and inspected by a range of external organisalions
and welcome this as an opportunity lo examine ourselves and check that we continue lo deliver.
7. Forward Thinking
To work with young people means that you have lo be prepared lo work in 2 constantly changing
environment. Needs, experiences, and aspirations changè. We believe that we must not only deal with
young people's needs as they present themselves today bul also plan and develop services which will meet
future needs. It is our intention therefore to remain al the 'cutling edge. of services for young people in order
to assist them lo break down barriers preventing them from achieving their ambitions.

Charity Fundraising
Sl Basils is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and commilled lo the regulatory standards for
fundraising. St Basils fully complies with the code of conduct. Any fundraising that is conducted by St
Basil's follows the guidance sel out in the code and anyone who takes part in any fundraising on our behalf
is encouraged lo do the same. Sl Basils are also members of the institute of fundraising and allend many
of the seminar8 and events lo further our learning of our sector.
St Basils has an annual income of over £12 million and 8Vo of this comes from charitable giving 12019121
figures). Sl Basil's fundraising have 7 main sources
general public, corporates, trusts, education
establishments, clubs, faith groups and legacies. St Basil's main focus for fundraising 15 through trusts and
grants, lusuallyl event fundraising and "charity of the year partnerships. Sl Basil's occasionally receive
some legacy giving bul this is rare. St Basil's does not use the services of profrssional fundraising firms
to raise funds for the charity. Sl Basil's does not run a lottery or have charity shops.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of Sl Basil's typical fundraising activities were cancelled. The
estimated income from events each year is approximately £350k but, for obvious reasons, they could not
lake place. However. some virtual events did happen, most notably a virtual sleepoul which raised
approximatety £30k. 11 meant the make up of Sl 8asils' fundraising in this year was skewed towards trusts
and grants, but this income did mean we were able lo repla￿ much of the estimated loss in revenue that
would have been received had events taken place.
During the year Sl Basils received a one-off and extremely welcome donation of £761 k, that enabled some
items of expendiluTe to be incurred that otherwise would not have been affordable. There is no expectation
that this will be repealed.
In spite of the pandemic, Sl Basils has continued lo receive donations 8nd funds from literally hundreds of
people and organisalions. and St Basil's is grateful lo all of them. The following are noted as having made
donations of £5,000 or more, noting that some donors have selected lo remain anonymous. These are in
alphabetical order.

Value For Money (VfM} Statement
The former Homes & Communities Agency, now the Regulator of Social Housing IRSH), introduced The
Regulatory Framework for Social Housing in England from April 2012 which sel out four Customer and three
economic Standards including a Value For Money Standard. This standard was revised in 2018 and Sl Basils

Our understanding of Vfm is articulated in our VFM Strategy as follows.
Working towards our 6 strategic priorities provides the basis for achieving Value for Money (Vfmj within St
Basils.
The desired outcomes for young people, our staff and our contract partners covered in the first 5 priorities are

St Basils is part way through impl&menting 3 key changes for embedding a Vfm culture..
l. Adopting a mor8 autonomous local management structure so accountability for outcomes and costs is
much closer to where day to day decisions are made
2. Developing metrics $0 we can better understand ourperfom7ance 81811 levels of the organisation and
know whal to focus on.
3. Setting up effective systems and structures for continuous improvement so opportunities lo ￿duce
costs and/or improve outcomes are applied aGross th& organisation
We have adopted a simple approach lo evaluating and delivering Vfm which is proportionate lo the size of the
organisalion and delivers key messages which can be understood by all stakeholders. Our BLJsiness Plan
identifies what we aim lo achieve each year in relation to these strategic priorities. Our Colleagues, young people
and partners are involved in reviewing and delivering our strategic priorities.
Vve have set out our approach in the Vfm strategy using a simple framework identifying what we will do to
achieve VIM,. how we will sel about this,. the impact we intend to achieve and the subsequent actions we have
taken or will lake to improve based on our learning.

ST BASJL'S (Limited by Guarantee}
The futu￿ funding model of supported housing is critical lo our ability lo sustain services and accommodation
for the most vulnerable.
st Basils will continue lo review the financial cost, impact and effectiveness of services delivered to support
our service users. These reviews will be ongoing and in the context of demonstrating achievement of our
mission for the benefit of stakeholders. Detailed plans are presented lo the Board each year for consideration
as an integral aspect of the annual business plan.
Risk Management
The RSH requires Registered Providers lo have an effective risk management framework. The Board
conducts an annual review of the effectiveness of the Association's system of internal control and in
particular this focuses on the significant risks that threaten the organisalion's ability to meet ils objectives
and provide reasonable assurance of the safeguarding of assets. Sl Basils lakes a proactive approach to
risk management and has initiated a number of monitoring and reporting systems, which feed into risk
assessment. These includes our Annual Active Governance Programme of visits to all service areas,
individual risk assessments are conducted for each young person coming lo Sl Basils, annual health &
safety risk assessments are completed for all areas of the business, and key financial indicators and
information are monitored on a monthly basis.
A Risk Register is maintained and updated each month. Reports are then made lo each meeting of the
Business Support and Audit Committee and the Board. A risk is defined as "the threat thet any gvent or
action will advers8ly affect an organisation's ability to achieve its business objectives 2nd execute is
strategies".
When risks are identified they are allocated a priority rating, control actions identified and responsibilities
for actions are determined. This is regularly monitored and reported to the Business Support and Audit
Committee.
The Business Support and Audit Committee also receive regular inlemal audit reports prepared by St Basil's
internal auditor on a wide range of business activity. An annual plan is agreed at the beginning of the
financial year. Our current internal auditor's approach lo internal audit involves a syslemalic risk based
approach in all of their audits undertaken throughout St Basils, with the aim of aligning their work closely lo
st Basils, own analysis of the key risks.
The internal audit prooramme regularly reviews our risk management Systems lo apply a degree of
independent scrutiny and to ensure best practi￿. Recommendations arising from the reviews are used by
the Board as a means of ensuring a robust risk management Process, learning and continuous
improvement.
Key Riskslchallenges to the Business Plan In 2021-22
The key risks lo delivering our Business Plan include..
Recruitment & retention of key s18ff',
Planning proposals for the Head Offi'ce.,
Implementing new ways of working following the pandemic and lockdown.,
Non-compliance with data protection requirements.,
Failure to comply with other slalutory, regulatory and legal requirements.,
Not achieving fundraising largels",
Inflation being higher than expected.,
Emergency capital expenditure.
The above items are perceived risks and they have not materialised and l or they are being actively
mitigated. Whilst the Corona Virus itself is not highlighted as a specific risk, il was clearly a risk that was
being managed in the period being reported upon. During the year, the following associated risks were
considered.
+ Fundraising may be redU￿d due to the inability lo hold events.,
* Business continuity may be challenged due lo lock downs, and remote working by staff, and the
possibility of some staff being unable lo work.,
O• Remote working increases the risk associated of ensuring that data protection requirements are
adhered lo.,
Additional demands for IT and PPE may exacerbate pressures on cash reseNes.
The above risks land others} were monitored by Sl Basil's Emergency Response Team which continues to
meet every other week. Corporate policies have been reviewed and revised where necessary lo ensure
that the new environment is effectively addressed in respect of remote working and data protection.

Committees review and report lo the Board regLrlarly on key performance indicators and financial

which will assist in the monitoring of service outcomes.
The internal control framework and risk management process is subject lo regular review by the external
Internal Audit firm who are responsible for providing independent assurance lo the Board via the

furloughed. St Basil's uses a server-based housing management system that Can be accessed remotely.

accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material un¢ertainlies relating lo events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubl on the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern for a period of al least ￿e1ve months from when the financial statements are aulhorised for issue.

In conneclion with our audit of the financial slalemenls, our responsibility is lo read the other information and.
in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsislenl with the financial statements or our
knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears lo be materially misslaled. 11 we identify such material
inconsistencies or apparent material misslatemenls, we are required to determine whether there is a material
misslalemenl in the financial statements or a material misslalement of the other information. If, based on the

Responsibilities of the Board
As explained more fully in the Ststement of the Board's responslbllities sel out on page 24, the Board is
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 Board determines is necèssary to enable the preparation of financial
slalemenls that are free from material misslalemenl, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial slalemenls. the Board is responsible for assessing the company's ability lo continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related lo going concern and Ljsing the going concern
basis of accounting unless the Board either intends lo liquidate the company or lo cease operations. or have no
realistic alternative bul to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the ludlt of the flnanclal staternents
Our objectives are lo obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstalemenl, whether due lo fraud or error, and lo issue an auditor's report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delecl a material misslalement when il exists. Misststemenls can arise
from fraud or error and are considered materi21 if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expected lo influence the economic decisions of users tsken on the basis of these financial stalemenls.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial slalemenls is located on the Financial
Reporting Council's website at www.frc or
.uklaudilorsres
onsibililies. This dèscription forms part of our
auditor's report.
Extent to which thg audit was consldered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
We identify and assess the risks of material misslatemenl of the financial slalemenls, whether due lo fraud or
error, and then design and perform audit procedures responsive lo those risks, including obtaining audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate lo provide a basis for our opinion.
In identifying and addressing risks of material misstalemenl in respect of irregularits'es. including fraud and non-
compliance with laws and regulations, our procedures included the following..
We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the Company, focusing on those that had
a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on ils opetations. Key laws and
regLJlalions that we identified included the Companies Act, the Statement of Recommended Practice for
registered housing providers.. Housing SORP 2018, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, the
Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing 2019. tax legislation, health and
safety legi51alion, and employment legislation.
We enquired of the Board and reviewed correspondence and Board meeting minutes for evidence of non-
compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the Board have in place. where
necessary, to ensure compliance.
We gained an understanding of the controls that the Board have in place to prevent and delect fraud.
We enquired of the Board about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting
period.

**ST BASIL’S (Limited by Guarantee)** 

## **_________________________________________________________________________** 

- The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks.  We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: laws related to the construction and provision of social housing, recognising the nature of the Company’s activities and the regulated nature of the Company’s activities. 

- We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above. 

- We enquired of the Board about actual and potential litigation and claims. 

- We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud. 

- In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias. 

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards.  For example, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.  We are not responsible for preventing fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. 

## **Use of the audit report** 

This report is made solely to the company’s members as a body in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and Chapter 4 of Part 2 of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trust’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 trust and the trust’s members as a body for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial assets carried al amortised cost
Financial assets carried al amortised cost comprtse rent arrears. trade and other receivables and cash
and cash equivalents. Financial assets are initially re¢ognised at fair value plus directly allribulabl8
transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are measured al amortised cost using the effective interest
method. Discounting is omill8d where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
If there is objective evidence that there is an imp8irmenl loss on any asset, including social housing
property, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and
the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted al the financial asseys original effective interest
rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced accordingly.
A financial asset is derecognised when the contractual rights lo the cash flows expire. or when the financial
asset and all subslanlial risks and reward are transferred.
If an arrangement constilules a financing transaction, the financial asset is measured al the present value
ol the future payments discounted al a market rale of interest for a similar debt instrument
Fin8nci81 liabilities carried al amortised oosl
These financial liabilities include trade and other payables and interest bearing loans and borrowings.
Non-currenl debt instruments which meet the necessary conditions in FRS 102, are initially recognised al
fair value adjusted for any directly allribulable transaction cost and subsequently measured al amortised
cost using the effective interest method, with inlerest-relaled charges ￿Cognised as an expense in finance
costs in the Slalemenl of Comprehensive Income. Discour¢ling is omilled where the effect of discounting
is immaterial.
A fi'nancial liability is derecognised only when the contractual obligation is exb'nguished, that is, when the
obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Financing trens8clffons
For rent arrears where the arrangement conslitules, in effect, a financing transaction because of extended
credit arrangements the arrears are measured at the present value of the future payments discounted al
an appropriate market rale of interest.
Significant Management Judgements and key Sources of estimation uncertainty.
The preparation of the financial slalemenls requires management lo make judgemerlts, estimates and
assumptions that affeel the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities. income,
and expenses. The estimates and associated assumplions are based on historical experience and various
other factors that are believed lo be reasonable under the cirGLtmslances, the results of which form the
basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent
from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
EslimalÈs and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions lo accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Significant Management Judgemonls
The following are management judgements in applying the accounting policies of the Company that have
the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial stalemenls.
Capitalis8tft)n of developm8nl expenditure
The company capilalises expenditure in accordance with the accounting policy on housing properties.
Judgement is exercised ovei the likelihood that projects will continue, as lo whether development
expenditure is capital or revenue. For the year ending 31 March 2021, there are capital additions of
£1,456k (see note 8). of which £nil relates to the Capilalisalion of on-going development costs.

2. Significant Management Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty. Icontinuedl
Eslim8tion uncertainty
The Company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the ftjlure. The resulting accounting
estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual result5 and may cause a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Debtorprovisions
Provision 15 made for rent arrears that are considered L6nco11eclable. These provisions require
management's best estimate of the costs that will be incurred based on legislative and contractual
requiremen15. In addition, the timing of the cash flows and the discount ratès used to establish net present
value of the obligations require management's judgement. In the light of the experien￿ of recent years,
the basis for deleimining the provision for rental debts has proved reasonable.
Components of housing properties and useful lives
