CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

At Emmaus Village Carlton, we have a relentless focus on achieving the right outcomes for our Companions, enabling them to regain their self-respect and independence within a supportive community.

Following a decline in their numbers during the pandemic, we are now seeing more coming to join our community. We expect this trend to continue over the coming year.

To make this possible we need to have a thriving social enterprise. As you will see from this report, our shops and bistro remain hugely popular and our loyal customers play a huge part in making our work sustainable. Their support is very much appreciated.

The year has not been without challenges, not least the lack of a permanent CEO. We owe a huge vote of thanks to all of our Companions, staff, volunteers and trustees for ensuring that the organisation has continued to thrive. The work that they have undertaken over the past year has been truly inspiring. We now look forward to welcoming Donna-Louise Cobban as our CEO towards the end of 2023.

Finally, I must pay tribute to my predecessor as Chair of Trustees, Lucia Smith. Lucia has played a pivotal role in Emmaus Village Carlton for many years, overseeing its growth and development into the wonderful organisation we see today. Particular thanks are also due to Lucy Dryburgh and Dean Bourke, for their time as co-Chairs after Lucia’s departure: their dedication and skills are a testament to the depth of talent we have here at EVC.

Lucia, Lucy and Dean will be very hard to follow, but I’m confident that the coming year will see us go from strength to strength and that our focus on our Companions will be stronger than ever.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

The Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2023. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's 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 small 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.

The Company is a Charity which is known as Emmaus Village Carlton. The Company has continued to provide support to poor and homeless people in accordance with the objectives set out in its Memorandum & Articles.

Structure, governance and management

a. Governing Document

Emmaus Turvey (the Company) is a company limited by guarantee governed by its memorandum and articles of association dated 29 September 1999 as amended on 28 June 2001 and 11 May 2015. The Company was incorporated on 11 February 2000 and has been registered as a charity with the Charity Commission since 9 November 2000, being affiliated to Emmaus UK.

b. Appointment of Trustees

The Articles of Association for Emmaus Village Carlton are based on the Emmaus UK model and have been registered with Companies House and the Charity Commission. They require that there should be a minimum of five Trustees and that Trustees should serve no more than nine continuous years. Trustees who have served nine continuous years shall not be eligible for re-appointment for the following twelve months.

The Board regularly reviews trustee skills and experience considering: the objectives of the charity; the strategic goals; diversity; and other emerging issues.

c. Trustee induction and training

New Trustees receive information on the Emmaus movement and attend an induction day to brief them on the mission, objectives, business and management structure of the charity.

During the induction they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

d. Organisational structure and decision-making policies

Emmaus Village Carlton is administered by a Board of Trustees, plus a company secretary, who meet every two months. Trustees are also Directors of Emmaus Turvey. There are three sub-committees of the Board which are responsible for Finance, IT & Risk, Companion Support and Human Resources.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

Structure, governance and management (continued)

e. Related parties

The Charity is an autonomous body within the Emmaus movement, it maintains a close relationship with Emmaus UK and other communities and groups, in order to facilitate the achievement of its objectives.

The Charity also maintains a relationship with the Carlton Educational Trust (CET), a charity from which it leases the land and premises for the Carlton community.

f. Risk assessment

The operation of the Charity is subject to a number of risks.

The Trustees are of the opinion that these risks are under regular review as part of both formal and informal management activities. Where appropriate, processes are in place to monitor and mitigate such risks. As part of that process the risk register is reviewed and updated on a regular basis. These risks include:

• Low Companion Numbers: The operation of the community is dependent upon having a sufficient number of companions. Whilst low demand for companion places is intrinsically a good thing for society, low numbers of companions puts pressure on the community. Referrals have recently been at low levels. This in turn has put the companion and staff community under pressure. To mitigate this, the management is actively seeking to obtain more referrals whilst at the same time ensuring that new recruits are suitable for the community.

• Safeguarding: The mission of the charity involves working with, and for, its companions who are potentially vulnerable adults and for whom the charity has a significant welfare responsibility. The charity takes this risk very seriously and there is regular training on safeguarding and professional boundaries. Safeguarding and whistleblowing policies are in place and there is a trustee Support Group as well as a Companion Welfare subgroup. DBS checks are caried out for all staff, volunteers, and trustees.

• Revenue not covering expenditure: Although the community has generated cash on a consistent basis, financial stress is a potential risk. The current inflationary environment is increasing costs in many areas including fuel costs. The impact of the costs of living crisis also impacts on our customers and this may reduce their ability to purchase from our stores. However, it is also possible that more customers will be attracted by the low cost of our high quality goods. This financial risk is mitigated through employment of a professional, welltrained and resourced staff team, adopting conservative financial policies and robust business planning with appropriate operational policies (including a Business Continuity Plan).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

Objectives and activities

a. Delivering public benefit

The objectives of the Charity are the relief of poverty, hardship and distress by providing (or assisting in providing) accommodation for poor and homeless people in Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Northamptonshire, together with education and training to develop employment skills. The charity operates in accordance with the principles of the Emmaus Movement which includes helping other Emmaus Communities and agencies supporting homeless or marginalised people.

The principal aim of Emmaus Village Carlton is to provide support to people who are either homeless or who face serious adversity, through the operation of a community run in accordance with the principles of the Emmaus Movement. This is a unique and holistic approach to assisting people, where we welcome them, as companions, into a community which cares about them as individuals and provide them with accommodation and opportunities to develop their skills and self-confidence. This ultimately helps them on their journey back to independent living, if they so wish.

b. Who uses and benefits from our services?

Our accommodation houses up to 42 Companions with an additional two "move-on" flats for Companions who have obtained employment outside the community but are not yet able or ready to access the housing market. Access to our services is by self-referral, or by referral from local agencies or other Emmaus communities. It is also dependent on an individual's personal commitment to seeking help and adhering, to the best of their ability, to the principles of the Emmaus movement.

The sale of recycled furniture, household and electrical goods, books and clothes, and the sale of food and drink from the Bistro, provides the majority of EVC's income. Under the guidance of employed staff members, Companions assist in running these trading activities together with, on average, some 50 volunteers. The impact of our work goes beyond those we help directly.

c. Provision for our Companions

Each of our Companions has a single room and most of them have en-suite facilities. Other facilities provided include a large kitchen and dining room, snack bars, laundries, an IT suite, a communal lounge, a games room, a gym and playing fields all of which are for used by Companions.

On arrival, Companions receive training for the work they do within the social enterprise. As they settle within the community and show their commitment, they are supported in gaining additional skills and, where requested, this may include training through colleges or other providers. We also provide training courses and workshops to support mental health and well-being. Companions have direct support from staff members to help them with their personal development and welfare. They are expected to attend support meetings both at EVC and, where appropriate, with relevant external providers of health care, counselling and life coaching.

d. Outreach and assistance to others

We support other local causes and local charities with similar objectives to our own. Our Companions take the lead in many of these initiatives which fall under the title of “solidarity” which is a central part of the Emmaus ethos. Over the last few years this has included the provision of food, hot drinks and other supplies (clothing etc.) to the homeless in Bedford, Northampton and Wellingborough.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2023

Objectives and activities (continued)

e. Statement of compliance with Charities Commission guidance

The Trustees have given due regard to the Charities Commission guidance on public benefit and confirm that, in their opinion, the charity's objectives and activities comply with this guidance.

Achievements and performance

a. Review of the year's activities

Most of our activities relate to generating income to support the community and maintain and develop its infrastructure. Our retail offerings include em’s Bistro, Bric-a-brac, Boutique and Furniture, which include produce from our gardening, upcycling and recycling activities. We are pleased that we have continued to generate funds enabling us to invest in the community, to enhance the opportunities presented to Companions and to extend help to others who face adversity.

b. Companion training

Our recycling activities also provide an important training opportunity for Companions. A number have developed skills in fork-lift driving, enabling them to obtain a formal qualification that allows them to contribute to the smooth running of the community's activities, and can help them to secure employment outside the community that will support them living independently. Other qualifications achieved during the year included food safety, food hygiene, health & safety, fire safety, PAT testing and barista training.

c. Employees

The Chief Executive Officer, Operations Manager, Finance & IT Manager and Support Manager, make up the senior management team to run the community, each having a number of direct reports to complement the operation. During the year the average employed payroll amounted to 21 members of staff (19 full time equivalent). This team drives the day to day operations, supports the Companions and develops the potential for future growth within the community.

The Trustees would like to take this opportunity to thank each member of staff for their work and commitment and formally record their gratitude. They fully appreciate the important work that the staff do and recognise that much of the most valuable work of supporting the community is performed behind the scenes.

d. Volunteers

The functioning of the community is also highly dependent upon a team of volunteers. They donate their time and show their support to the community in many ways including: counselling; teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL); reading and writing; sorting goods for resale and recycling; van driving; working in the garden; assisting in our retail offerings; performing administration tasks; and many other responsibilities. We hold regular functions and meetings for our volunteers to ensure they have a real voice and stake in the running and development of the community, and we make places available for them on our training courses.

The Trustees are extremely grateful to each and every volunteer and recognise that they are a vital part of the unique atmosphere at EVC which is fundamental to the community's success. The community could not survive without their support and specialist skills.

Financial review

a. Outcome for the year

Over recent years there has been a gradual recovery from the adverse financial impact of Covid-19 and this year activity has exceeded pre-pandemic levels, with total income 9% above 2019 levels. The charity recorded a surplus for the year to 30 June 2023 of £98,152 compared to a deficit of £51,327 for the year to June 2022.

The outcome for the year includes a charge for depreciation. The trustees focus primarily on the Charity's cash flow and the effect this is having on reserves. The Charity’s cash position increased by £173,655 during the year (compared to a reduction in cash of £44,626 for the year to June 2022. At 30 June 2023 the charity held cash and cash equivalents of £657,560. The statement of cash flows is included on page 16.

b. Reserves

The Charity has considerable fixed operating costs. The trustees' policy is to seek to maintain a minimum level of reserves, in cash, equivalent to three months' revenue expenditure; this equates to £380,000 based on the budget for the year to 30 June 2024. At 30 June 2023, total unrestricted funds were £771,546 of which £657,560 was held in cash or cash equivalents.

c. Financial controls

Various financial controls and regular financial reporting procedures have been put into place. A budget is prepared annually and approved by the Trustees. Financial performance, Balance Sheet strength and liquidity are reviewed monthly, against budget, by the Finance, IT & Risk committee to ensure that the community has robust and effective financial management.

d. Investment policy

The Charity's reserves are held in cash and deposited in interest bearing accounts with our banks. The Directors do not utilise any other financial investments.

e. Plans for future periods

The strategy and operational model will be reviewed during the coming year and particular consideration will be given as to how best to increase Companion numbers.

In addition to the maintenance work already undertaken, an audit of the site infrastructure will be undertaken with the intention of establishing a preventative maintenance plan to better inform future priorities.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TURVEY

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Emmaus Turvey (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 30 June 2023 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:

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.

EMMAUS TURVEY (A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TURVEY (CONTINUED)

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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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

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

Page 11

EMMAUS TURVEY

(A company limited by guarantee)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EMMAUS TURVEY (CONTINUED)

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 operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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 members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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.

In making this assessment, the Trustees have reviewed the trading and cash flow forecasts of the Charity and concluded that based on the forecast results, the mitigating actions that can be taken to control costs and the ability of the Charity to borrow or fund raise for additional funds, that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities 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 performancerelated conditions, there is not unconditional entitlement to the income, 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.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable. All other income is recognised on an accruals basis.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

2.5 Government grants

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the Statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned.

2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

Building improvements - 3 - 10 years
Plant and machinery - 20% straight line (50% straight line for assets
purchased prior to 1 June 2021)
Motor vehicles - 20% straight line (50% straight line for assets
purchased prior to 1 June 2021)
Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line (50% straight line for assets
purchased prior to 1 June 2021)
Computer equipment - 25% straight line (50% straight line for assets
purchased prior to 1 June 2021)

2.7 Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

2.8 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.9 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of twelve months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.10 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2.11 Financial instruments

The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.12 VAT

The Company's VAT year end is 31 March and the organisation operates partial exemption procedures in respect of VAT.

2.13 Operating leases

Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term.

2.14 Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.15 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
