HEALTHY LIVING PROJECTS LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

The directors, who are the charity’s trustees for the purposes of charity law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2023.

Volunteers

Volunteer activity has again been a crucial part of the work of Healthy Living Projects (HLP) and the trustees acknowledged grateful thanks to all who have given of their time in a wide range of ways. Two volunteers in Language Link – have delivered English Language Classes in person, each giving up four hours a week. The Young at Heart programme was led by two volunteers each contributing three hours on a weekly basis to run activities for the elderly and keep in touch by phone. The Welcome Project has benefitted from volunteers who have helped in a number of ways including catering, reception duties, administration, processing donations of food and clothing, overseeing the shower and laundry facilities and running various life skills classes. From 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023 there were 997 volunteer hours worked, which is up by 9.5% on the previous year.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 15th November 2000 and registered as a charity on 29th June 2001. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up each member may be required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting.

The charity works within a diverse community; the trustees are keen that this diversity is reflected within the trustee body. Through networking the charity is seeking to identify those who have relevant knowledge and are willing to share their experience by being actively involved in the charity as a trustee.

Business and management skills are well represented within the trustee body. The mix of trustee skills, if lost due to retirements, is maintained by recruitment.

Trustee Induction and Training

Trustees are familiar with the work of the charity as they are provided with regular reports from the charity’s management team. Potential trustees undertake an Induction Process and are informed of the following:

Publications from the Charity Commission are regularly distributed to all trustees.

COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Risk Management

The trustees are keen to limit the internal and external risks to which the charity is exposed, and are continually investigating means of providing further support to the charity’s principal activities.

Risks to funding have been mitigated by the development of agreements with organisations experienced in recognising and generating new streams of funding and the establishment of new initiatives in order to diversify income streams. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of Financial Control Procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects. Policies and Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the various projects. Employees have gained qualifications in Management, Safer Recruitment, Childcare, Health & Safety, First Aid and Food Hygiene. The charity maintains effective Insurance Policies covering Public Liability, Employers Liability, Professional Indemnity, Contents and Vehicle insurance.

Organisational Structure

Healthy Living Projects has a board of trustees consisting of 7 members who meet at least quarterly, and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. Members are from a variety of professional backgrounds that add value to the work of the charity.

A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services rests with the Project Director. The Director is responsible for ensuring the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met. Project Co-ordinators/ Managers have day-today responsibility for the operation and supervision of their teams, whilst ensuring the continued development of team skills and working practices.

Related Parties

The charity has a relationship with Ilford High Road Baptist Church in so far as having use of the church premises (including the Welcome Centre) for which the charity pays rent. Barry Richardson, the Secretary of Healthy Living Projects provides professional services to the charity through his consultancy called “My Father’s Business”.

Public Benefit

When reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning the activities, the trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Objectives and Activities

The company’s objectives and principal activity is the relief of poverty, the provision of education and the provision of recreation in the interest of social welfare, within the London Borough of Redbridge. The main activities planned for the year were:

COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Achievements and Performance

COVID-19

Staff and volunteers have continued to be mindful of government policies and guidance on health and hygiene issues regarding Covid-19.

Welcome Project

The Welcome Project offers a support service providing help to those who are homeless or refugees and those seeking asylum within the London Borough of Redbridge and surrounding areas. The project operates from the Welcome Centre; these facilities include two training rooms, an I.T. suite, Interview rooms, a nurse’s room, showers and a laundry.

Following the easing of restrictions last year around Covid-19, the Project continued to see an increase in numbers of homeless women and men who have attended the Day Centre

The project continued to provide hot meals and food parcels to people who have been placed in hostels or temporary accommodation. Support workers have continued to give Information, Advice and Guidance on issues relating to homelessness. The economic climate has continued to be challenging, but the charity is pleased to report that a number of grants and contracts has enabled it to deliver vital services. During the year, staff and volunteers attended training courses in Mental Health, Suicide Awareness and Supporting Women Experiencing Homelessness. They have also attended the Redbridge Homelessness Forum, Case Review and Redbridge Strategic Board meetings.

Language Link

English Language classes continued throughout the year, still with some precautions in place to protect volunteers and students. The aim of the classes is to teach practical English and to build up the confidence and self-esteem of the students. Classes are offered at different levels and whilst numbers have fluctuated, the average daily attendance is approximately 14 ladies.

Pre-School

Childcare and education has been provided for up to 30 children, in the age range 2-5 years, every weekday morning during term time. The numbers of children attending has been lower this year, we started the year with 14 children which has risen to 20 + which bodes well for next year. The setting is regulated by Ofsted and received the ranking of “Good” at its last inspection in March 2018. The Preschool has provided Special Educational Needs support for 5 children this year. Learning opportunities are run in association with Redbridge Early Years. The costs of providing this education are met by London Borough of Redbridge (Early Years) grant. Since the year-end the trustees have decided to cease operations of the Pre-school and resign our registration with Ofsted following an unsatisfactory inspection.

HEALTHY LIVING PROJECTS LIMITED (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Young Inspirations

The pandemic has changed the way people work, working from home is the new norm and fewer parents are in need of out-of-school care for their children. Although we had 57 children registered, most only attended for 1 or 2 days per week, meaning the average daily attendance was around 15. Because parents can book daily online, it can be difficult to know how many staff are needed. We still provide an essential service to those that do need childcare and want to continue to offer this service to working parents for as long as we can. The trustees have this situation under continual review. Since the year-end, the trustees have decided to close operations due to the project running at a loss.

Young at Heart

Our Young at Heart group have met regularly on Monday afternoons and provided support to its members to help overcome loneliness. Members sit and chat whilst they enjoy tea, coffee and cakes; they play games; and sometimes enjoy the visit of speakers from outside organisations (Fire Brigade, Falls Prevention, Police, Music Groups. Christmas, Easter, and Summer are celebrated with special activities usually including food. Members are invited to the Christmas and Easter services held by the church in which Young at Heart meet.

Financial Review

The Charity is reporting a loss for the year 2022-23 of £32,245, compared to a loss of £73,200 in 2021-22. Reserves carried forward amount to £60,565 (£92,810 in 2021-22), £24,617 of which relates to restricted funds and £35,948 unrestricted funds.

For the year 2022-23 we received a total income of £468,481, compared to £412,664 in 2021-22. The main sources of income was grants and donations received for Welcome Project. This year the Welcome Project received £350,468 of both restricted and unrestricted funds compared to £267,168 2021-22. Also income for Young Inspirations Out of School Club increased to £57,609 compared to £49,872. Income for Pre-school decreased again this year to £58,969 compared to £72,886 in 202122 due to lower numbers of children in attendance.

Total Expenditure for the year has increased to £500,726 compared to £485,864 in 2021-22. The charity has been keen to make savings wherever possible whilst recognising that salaries and activities costs linked to specific grants inevitably lead to a rise in expenditure for the duration of the grant.

Principal Funding Sources

Aside from fees generated from Young Inspirations and Pre-school, the principal sources of funding were grants received from the London Borough of Redbridge, Garfield Weston Foundation, The Tudor Trust, Rough Sleeper Intervention Program and the ongoing commitment from London Borough of Redbridge Housing Service. Felton Fundraising & Appeals continue to identify opportunities for a wider range of funding for the future. The individual donor scheme has so far attracted over 35 donors whose contributions totalled £10,168 (£10,380 2021-22) (with Gift Aid). These funds combined are sufficient to cover the salaries of Managers, Support Workers and Administrators who provide services to our clients as well as providing resources that cover activities and general running cost.

COMPANY INFORMATION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023

Investment Policy

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and have found that bank deposit accounts meet the charity’s requirements.

Reserves Policy

The trustees consider it prudent that unrestricted funds should be sufficient to cover 3 months administration and support costs which amount to £50,992. Unrestricted fund balances held at the year-end amount to £35,948. The level of reserves is currently less than that required by the Reserves Policy and the level is being monitored and reviewed by the trustees on a quarterly basis.

Plans for Future Periods

The charity is keen to maximise the opportunities afforded by the Welcome Centre facilities. Building on the achievements so far, the project plans to help more people to find fulfilment and independence through further training or employment.

In order to increase our revenues streams, the charity is keen to raise its profile through social media and other conventional means. To this end we will continue to develop our Website and social media platforms. We intend to build on relationships forged with local businesses such as Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury’s, Tesco, Lidl, Greggs, Big Yellow Storage and Nando’s.

Responsibilities of the directors under company law

The directors are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at Balance Sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

  1. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

  2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

  3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

  5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEALTHY LIVING PROJECTS LIMITED

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023 on pages 10 to 24 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 13-14.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair” view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

HEALTHY LIVING PROJECTS LIMITED

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Statutory Information

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention [as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities].

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered all reasonable risks and have concluded that there is no material impact.

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

Income from donations and legacies includes:

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.

13

When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised.

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from donations and grants received during the year.

Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest.

c) Expenditure

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

d) 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 charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £500 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:

Over 5 Equipment years

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value; stocks of goods donated for the charity's own use are valued at an estimate of their value to the charity.

g) Pension scheme arrangements

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to the scheme are recognised as an expense when the liability arises.

h) Taxation

The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.

The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account and cash on deposit that has a notice period of less than 30 days.

14

The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
