Objectives and activities
Ben's Centre for Vulnerable People (Ben's Centre) is a registered charlty wlth the principal objective to
relieve poverty, sickness and distress of persons suffering from addiction and street culture in the
Sheffield area in particular by the provision of a day ￿ntre offering advice. food, clothing and washing
facilities.
The legal objects were amended to those al)ove during 2023 to formally widen the scope of clients from
those with solely alcohol related problems to those with wider addiction issues to match the actual needs
of the clients of Ben's Centre.
In practi￿ the charity provides a day trntre for street substance misusers and vulnerable adults in
ShefField City Centre and the surrounding areas. The centre is unique in the city as a 'damp centre,, which
enables substance misusers to access the centre whilst underthe influence of drugs and/or alcohol. Ben's
Centre provides its client with hot f(x)d and drinks. washing and laundry facilities, clothing store,
amenities, a hot shower arml toilets. advice. and comfort during opening hours. A key part of the services
provided at Ben's Centre is our one-to-one client led work provided by our team of support workers as
well as our Outreach service which supports people out on the street and not yet being supported by the
day cent￿.

Ben's Centre for Vulnerable People (Sheffield)
Triistees. annual report - continued
For the year ended 31 December 2023
In 2023. Ben's Centre invested in and further developed partnership working with other agencies by
facilitating and hosting increased presence and impact from external agencies in the centre. This has
promoted early intervention for our clients and has been an advantageous use of resources for our client
group, the agencies involved, and the staff team. Some, but not all of the agencies accessing the ￿Trtre
were NHS based or housing serlices and the facilities were used free of charge. Hosting these SeNi￿S
meant that we could provide a safe and neutral Pla￿ for clients and professionals to meet and work
towards appropriate success.
Trust building is the key to achieving suc￿5$ful outcomes with vulnerable people, enabling and
empowering them to take positive and healthy steps forward with their lives and away from reliance on
drugs and/or alcohol.
A range of ski115-based activities are offered to develop Ben's Centre clients including arts & crafts, IT,
health promotion and general lrfe skills. Ben's centre is able to delNer its services with the help of a
committed pool of volunteers who, between them. donate an average of 45 hours per week.
The trustees have taken due regard of the guidan￿ on public benefit published by the Charity
Commission.
AChI￿eMent and performance
2023 was another challenging yearfor Ben's Centre but also one of impart and achievement. Ben's Centre
staff. board and volunteers worked hard to SUPPOrt our clients and develop the charity.
The NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (ICB} paid forthe transformation of one of our rooms into
medical room. This has enabled NHS/ICB staff to carryout work in a clinical environment. more suitable
to the work that they do. This has supported the work carried out by the Outreach Nurse and Podiatrist
alongside the blood borne virus nurses and Substan￿ misuse tearn.
Our core service remained at the centre of all that we did In 2023. The Projert Manager. Support Workers
and Outreach team continued their exceptional work providing client centred support to vulnerable
clients. Led by the Chief Executive. the staff team completed new and refresher training to enable them
to improve on the trauma informed support they already offer to those we help. Other staff training has
included Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) and Cuckooin& which is a highly important skill when
working with our client group.
Income diversification came into focus for us again. We strengthened our Marketing and Communications
strategy and also implemented a Fundraising strategy into this. This led to rapid improvements in our
online marketing and social media platforms. So far, we have been unable to attract any long-terni
corporate funding however we have been able to become more targeted with grant applications.
We had been hoping for an increase in sales at Ben's Bazaar, Information Hub and Charity Shop however
it was unable to reach sales targets to keep the project a going concern, on top of this fire concerns with
the property meant that the retail arm had to move into Moor Market. sales continued to decline and in
January 2024 the trustees made the difficult decision to wind down the project and concentrate on the
charivs primary objectives.
To ensurethat as an organisationwe were supportingstaff properly, we engaged a HR Consultant,Andrew
Crawford, who supported us to support our staff team.

Ben's Centre for Vulnerable People {Sheffield)
Trustees. annual report- continued
For the year ended 31 December 2023
The team continued their work developing relationships locally with individuals and businesses to
encourage one off and large donations to our work. Our improved Marketing and Communications also
underpinned these efforts and increased attention from local media on our work. which in turn brought
in new funding opportunities. We continue to pursue other source5 of large pot funding.
On a more strategic and forward-thinking level we developed links with partnership agencies such as the
Synergy Mental Health Alliance and the Foundry where we were able to share information and a55ets
while aligning future objectives and causes. We continue to link with long standing agencies such as
Voluntary Action Sheffield (VAS) and Sheffield Crty Councifs various community programs as well as
strengthening our relationship with the ICB and public health.
Who we have supported in 2023
Up to 35 clients access the day centre each working day. Sincejanuary 2023, an additional 89 clients were
assessed for the day service. Cost-of-living increases and struggling with fuel poverty continues to be a
concern for our client group. 5663 client contacts were recorded in 2023.
Ben's Centre also benefited from the consultancy services of Claudia Demuth whlch was funded by Lloyds
Bank Foundation. Claudia has supported both the senior management team and also the trustees.
Overall, Ben's Centre has had another SUC￿$Sful year. Staff development continues to be priority for the
service. The team has continued to work to an exceptionally high standard. Our income diversification
plans have begun to be implemented and our marketing has been improved. A full review of our
govemance, policies and procedures was also undertaken. Our fundraising remains strong and the
charity's lon8-term sustsinability continues to be the main focus of the Board of Trustees and Senior
Management Team. Finalty and most importantly* we continue to have a positive impact on the
vulnerable people we supporL Providing security, consistency, one to one trauma informed care and
comfort to each of our clients.
Future Plans
As a part of the Ben's Centre business development we are committed to the following key areas:
To continue to improve and develop our client support through staff trainin& partnership working
with other sertor organisations, growing our service provision and through other opportunities.
To strengthen Ben's Centre's income generation and in doing so, improve the charities
Sustainability and resilience.

continues to be a priority for the Board of Trustees and senior management team, we have worked hard
to Strengthen our tried and tested income streams, as well as to develop new one5 to ensure our
continued sustainability.

These include but are not limited to-.
Continuing to apply for small to medium sized grants on a regular basi5.

Review of tendering opportunities as a means of bringing in new income for the charity
Looking at corporate sponsorship
During 2024 we arrived at the break-clause in our tenancy at Wilkinson Street. We explored alternative
options extensively however, following negotiations with the current landlord. the trustees have agreed
to remain in our current premises. A programme of works is planned by the landlord and Ben's Centre
will also be looking at how to make the property more energy efficient.
financial review and reserves policy
The trustees regularly review the level of reserves held and discuss any foreseeable expenditure for major
repairs and planned schedules of work. Free reserves are now being held in a separate account from our
current account to give a clearer visualisation of the financial situation.
The trustees have agreed that Ben's Centre should aim to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level which
equates to running costs for 34 months. This provides sufficient funds to enable the organisation to
respond to a sudden loss of income or unforeseen liability and to ensure that it can continue to provide a
service for our vulnerable client group for a reasonable amount of time. This target was approximately
£189,5(X).
Actual free reserves held at 31 December 2023 were £220,366, which is above the target, however the
trustees expect to use some of these reserves during 2024.
There is a potential for a shortfall in our budget in 2024 as we have noticed that funding opportunities are
reducing with some larger legacy trusts dismantling their services. It 15 not unusual for the projert to
receive a smaller donation rather than full costs for grant applications. Our costs have increased as we
have become a real living wage employer. We have also had to employ an additional member of support
5tsff, due to a rise in the number of people we are supporting but also an increase in demand due to
supporting people with more complex needs. Whilst SCC have committed more money to the COTe serrfice
grant the project receive5, there has been no uplift to other long-term grant funding.
Any contingencies will aim first and foremost to keep secure the positions of Ben's Centre employees and
the continued running of the service. There will be a comprehensive contingenvi plan in place by
September 2024, agreed by the Chief Executive Officer and Board of Trustees so attions can be taken
without hesitation, should our income fall short.
Ben's Centre's current lottery funding will come to an end in October/November 2025. We are looking at
ways to develop our current provision and will be pursuing a further lottery grant. potentially from the
UK Fund. Alongside this we will continue to work on our funding strategrf looking to identify alternative
large pot funding to support us through 2025 onwards.
The Board of Trustees is confident that, thanks to our strengthened reserves, should we fa￿ any financial
difficulties in over the next 12 months, we will be able to weather those difficult periods.
