Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Mission Statement

"What we can do TOGETHER"

By working with the local community, Local Authority and other organisations we provide facilities to give everyone the opportunity to realise their talents and potential in order to create, together, a vibrant community for the common good.

Mission Implementation

We have set out our realistic Mission Statement which provides our aims and objectives going forward whilst maintaining the History and inspiration of the St Stephens Community.

Encourage Partnership working Expand user involvement Raise self-esteem and social inclusion Act as advocates for our community Listen to our community to identify our needs Encourage diversity of groups Encourage volunteers to develop their skills Ensure continued monitoring and evaluation of our work.

The main focus of the work of the SSNC during the year was the same as in previous years:- to provide Youth Workers, who work alongside other local agencies, to support young people in the community. It also continues to support the Housebound Group by acting as host to their activities and offers the Hall for hire for activities or parties as prescribed by the needs of the community.

The trustees confirm they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning their activities for the year.

The trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit, guidance as published by the Charity Commission.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity's activities have been provided by way of grant and contract income from:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Investment policy and objectives

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are spent in the short term so there are few funds available for long term investment.

As with most Charitable Organisations 2020 has been a challenging year but we have maintained our focus on our Ethos of helping those less fortunate and offering a centre of help. After a short period of closure at the beginning of the Pandemic we moved our lunch club and afterschool food offering to food parcels and delivering activity packs. Following a meeting of the NYA and Government we were allowed to reopen out Youth Programme to limited numbers and for those from disadvantaged backgrounds. As we work on a deprived estate we continued this approach from the rest of 2020, including offering a summer programme of activities and food for our families and young members. This approach has allowed us to keep in touch with those of our young people who might have been lost.

Our links to our Lunch club members was re-established with food deliveries and phone contacts and the Centre acted as a drop in for those struggling with Internet connections.

On reflection a positive impact in a dark period of our history.

Reserves policy

The Management Committee are examining the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 to 6 months of the expenditure. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding.

FUTURE PLANS

Our plans remain unchanged in that we intend to continue our progress to sustainability and therefore only look for funding in relation to Projects that cannot generate their own income.

We will still look;

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees The Directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

Mary Clark and Sue Dunne offer themselves for re-election.

The current Management Committee has a range of skills and knowledge that contribute to the management of the organisation. In an effort to maintain their broad skills mix, members of the Management Committee are requested to complete an annual skills audit and update it each year, where gaps are identified appropriate training is provided.

Organisational structure

The SSNC is independent of St Stephens Parish but shares a campus and an ethos. The SSNC has the use of its buildings on a peppercorn rent from the Diocese of Middlesbrough as a contribution to its work. The Centres' values are based upon Christian principles, but open to people of all or no faith. These core principles are Respect, Tolerance, Community, Care and Outreach.

The SSNC has a Management Committee of up to eight members who meet monthly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the Committee has eight members from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity. The Secretary also sits on the Committee but has no voting rights. There is an Executive Board which has delegated powers and meets monthly to review finances, funding bids and activities. Task Groups cover issues such as Health & & Safety, Finance, Personnel and Community Links.

Safeguarding (Child Protection) is under the auspices of the Diocese and the point of reference is Mr Mick Walker. The point of reference for St Stephen's Neighbourhood Centre is Mrs Mary Clark.

Induction and training of new trustees

New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These are jointly led by the Chair of the Management Committee and the Chief Officer of the charity and cover:

A Question and Answer pack has been produced drawing information from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commissions guide "The Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This is distributed to all new and existing trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements. Feedback from new trustees about their induction is also collected.

In relation to training, each year all of the staff are assessed and courses attended. The Project Manager also ensures monthly discussions are held with the staff to identify training issues. A review of training needs has been undertaken to ensure that all of the staff are up to date with current regulations.

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Related parties

The charity is conscious of the needs of the community and the changes to local and national targets.

Wherever practicable the charity is guided by local and national policy.

Networking and Partnerships are encouraged in the development of the Centre.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated periodically. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan, which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities.

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all financial transactions. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the Centre.

The charity is an equal opportunities organisation and is committed to a working environment that is free from any form of discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability. The charity will make reasonable adjustment to meet the needs of staff or volunteers who are or become disabled. Volunteers are an important resource in undertaking our work. All staff and volunteers with the charity undertake a DBS check prior to commencement of work or trusteeship.

All our trustees give their time freely and no remuneration was paid to them in the year.

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 the 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').

  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

  2. 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

  3. 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.
