While The 999 Club continues to provide friendly, welcoming, empowering support to people experiencing homelessness from our centre in Deptford, this has been a transformative year for the charity, launching new services, refreshing our building and existing services and improving our finances.

We made several changes to these services, running an early bird breakfast twice a week thanks to support from Lewisham Council, and hosting a wider variety of partners including Lewisham's Housing Options team and Homeless GP Service. We worked Closely with people that have used our service to refurbish our buildin& creating a more relaxing environment where people feel calm and safe. This included redecorations, refurbishments and new ways of displaying information. These accounts show that the 999 Club made a modest surplus. This follows investments made in improving our service including our building, staff and financial services. It is important that 999 Club maintains sufficient reserves to manage strategic risks.

The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust Trustees, report For the year ended 31 August 2023 CLUB "999 Club is doing a fantastic job for people In need. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The best advice l ever heard was from your case workers which kick started my journey towards securing a home which l adore. "The 999 Club saved my life. "l am really happy for how 999 Club have helped me in terms of housing, teaching me some computer skills and Some support." "Since I've been using the 999 Club you've given me confidence back in a lot of way5. It may not seem that but if I didn't come there I wouldn't have got to where I was now." "What you have done is exceptional. It looks amazing. 999 is extraordinairel" "I don't know how you could possibly improve. This Women's Sanctuary is just the most amazing place, there's nothing like this anywhere else. I'm so glad I found it." "Perfect Servite. Very nice, very good" Case Studies We worked for three months with someone who was facing eviction due to non-payment of rent. The man had very poor mental health and was not opening mail, including bills, as he was afraid to do so. We referred him to Mind for support with his mental health,. ensured he had the right benefits in place and negotiated with the landlord to pay the arrears and put a plan in place for future payments. One Eastern European national, a UK resident for a long time, came to us as they were sleeping rough because they had no money or anywhere to go shortly after being discharged from hospital. They had applied for residency, but failed their habitual residency test as they were unable to prove that they had been a permanent resident for every year of the previous five years. We worked with the client to establish what they had been doing over this period to evidence the residency and discovered that they had had medical insurance for the previous six years. We contacted the insurance company and obtained the documentation to prove residency, which enabled the client to get settled status and in turn access benefits and put a roof over their head. We supported a single parent with several children. one with additional educational and complex mental health needs. They had been moved round a number of temporary homes in several boroughs over a number of years, which was disruptive for the children. We provided advocacy and helped the parent to collate medical documents to evidence how the disruption had impacted the children's mental health. A few weeks after we had provided the support, the parent emailed us to say. "Thank you for your help now have a permanent property, close to my support network 2nd one straight bus to my children'5 school. It means so much to my children not to be in emergency accommodation." Future plans Despite worsening external conditions, at the 999 Club we continue to provide friendly, welcoming, empowering supportive services. P38e 6

Reasonable 35surance is a high level of 35surance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 regulation5. 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.. How the audit W05 considered cupable of detecting irregulurlties includingfraud Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows.. The engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate cornpetence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations,. We identified the laws and regulations 3pplicable to the group through discussions with representatives from the Trustees an($ from our knowledge and experience of the charity sector,. We focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the activities of the group. These included but were not limited to the Charitie5 Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charitie5.' Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021; and We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulètions identified above through making enquiries of representatives from the Trustee5 and review of minutes of Trustee5' meetings. We a5se5sed the susceptibility of the group's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, bv.. Making enquiries of representatives from the Tru5tee5 as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and Considering the internal controls in place to mitigate ris of fraud and non-compliante with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls. we.. Performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships,. Tested and reviewed journal entries to identify unusual transactions,. Carried out substantive testing of expenditure including the authorisation thereof,. Assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimate5 were indicative of potential bias,. and Investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. Pase 14
The 999 Club and Lady Florence Trust Independent auditorfs report For the year ended 31 August 2023 CLiB In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to.. Agreeing financial statements disclosures to underlying sUPPOrting documentation,. Reading the minutes of meetings of Trustees,. and Enqulring of as to actu31 and potential litigation and clairns. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non- compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material mi55tatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 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.
