Report of the Chair of the Board
For the year ended 31 August 2023
999
CLUB
l am delighted to share the Trustee5' report ènd financial staternents for the year I September 2022 to 31
August 2023. 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 launched two innovative services,. the Bridge and MOVE+. The Bridge 15 delivered in partnership with
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. The service operates on weekday evenings, weekends
and bank holidays, ènd offers a safe Space and empowering sUPPOrt to people in Lewisham who fee1 that
they cannot cope. MOVE+ is delivered thanks to support from the National Lottery Community Fund and
provides peer coaches for people that have recently escaped homelessness.
Our Gateway and Housing, Employment, Advice and Training (HEATI services continue to support people
experiencing homelessne55 to both meet their immediate need5 and to find 3 home and maximise their
incorne. 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. However, we are conscious of the need to invest in providing
high quality services, especially during the current cost of living crisis.
l am very grateful to all of the people, trusts and companies that have supported 999 Club in the past year.
Thank you to our funders for your generosity and support during this time. Our work would not be possible
without you.
999 Club's work is made possible by a committed group of over 69 volunteers. This diverse group of people,
many of whom have personal experience of homelessness, contribute so much to their local community,
helping people to help themselves escape from homelessness. Thank you for yOLJr generosity and good
humour.
As we look forward to 2024, we can be sure that it will be another year of significant change. We have seen
an increase in all forms of homelessness in south-east London, including worrying rises in the number of
people sleeping rough. 999 Club has plan5 In place to play our part in response to these challenges.

Our vision
Our vision is that no one will sleep on the streets in Lewisham.
Our approach to achieving our vision is to provide a friendly open door for anyone that is sleeping on the
streets or at risk of sleeping on the streets so that we can help people to help themselves escape from
homelessness.
We believe that sleeping rough in Lewisham should be rare, fleeting and never repeated. We have three
missions..
If you're at risk of sleeping on the street. we'll stop it happening
If you're sleeping on the street, we'll help you to quickly find a home
If you've previously slept on the street, we'll help you to stay in your new home
In everything we do, we demonstrate our VGlues.'
Inclusive.. We are welcoming and supportive.
Respectful.. We respect each other and celebrate diversity so that everyone can give their best
Empowering.. We encourage people to take personal responsibility for making positive changes in their
live5 by providing opportunities, developing their talents, and helping to build their confidence and
self-esteem.
Partnership.. We recognise the importance of working collaboratively with people who come to the
centre to design. deliver and evaluate OLJr services.
Inspiring.. We all inspire one another to discover our purpose and reach our full potential, celebrating
our achievements and positive steps forward.

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.

Auditorfs respon5ibilitles for the audit of the flnancial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financi31 statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that
includes our opinion. 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.

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. This description forms
part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company'5 members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3
of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken $0 that we might state to the
charitable company'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 charitable company and the charitable company's members as 3 body, for our audit
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
