## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT - YEAR ENDING 31[ST] JULY 2024** 

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, present their Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended 31st July 2024. 

The Board of Trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity during the year and consider that the charity is in a strong position to continue its activities during the coming year, and that the charity’s assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT** 

## **a. CONSTITUTION** 

The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 8th July 2002 as The House of Genesis.  Registered No. 04479636. 

The Company is registered with the Charity Commission, registration no. 1095284. The Company’s governing instruments are Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Trustees/Directors are shown on page 3 of this report. 

## **b. APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES** 

In seeking new members of the Board of Trustees, the experience and qualifications of possible candidates and other interested parties are borne in mind, to ensure the best governance for the charity.   The successful candidates are elected by existing trustees.  The maximum number of trustees is twelve and the minimum is three, with five currently in post. 

## **c. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE** 

The day-to-day work of the Charity is currently staffed by one full-time employee, three part-time employees, one finance officer working on a contractual basis and with specialist support from Trustees and volunteers. 

The Charity has operated from five properties, during this year: 6 Laundry Close, 3 St Williams Way, 52 Newbegin Road and 8 Prior Road, all of which are on the east side of Norwich. The property at 82 St James Close was handed back to the landlord in April 2024.The properties at Laundry Close and St Williams Way are owned by the charity, with HSBC mortgages, Newbegin Road is rented from Norwich City Council under the private sector leasing scheme and Prior Road is rented privately. 

The Trustees are committed to ensuring the appropriate management structure is in place to maintain the quality and success of the service. 

## **d. GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees are committed to a regular review of the strategic, business and operational risks which the Charity faces, with a view to ensuring that appropriate systems and procedures are in place to minimise the identified risks.  There is an up to date risk register included in the Business Plan, which is subject to regular review. Trustees also conducted a review of critical issues using the “15 questions” designed by the Charity Commission for that purpose. 

## **e. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

In planning the activities, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in December 2008. 

4 



## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **a. POLICIES AND OBJECTIVES** 

The objects of the Company are to: 

- promote for the benefit of the public, the rehabilitation of the homeless and ex-prisoners, and to relieve poverty by the provision of accommodation, support and advice 

- advance religion for the benefit of the public in such a way that its message becomes accessible and comprehensible to those whom the Company seeks to assist. 

## **b. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES** 

The work of the charity is now based within four houses where new and existing residents are welcomed and offered support, care, guidance and supervision. The Charity can now accommodate and support up to 15 men.  The men are helped to address issues in their lives that may have previously led to difficulties or failures.  Life skills are regularly reviewed with residents and they are encouraged to find employment, training or voluntary work in the community. 

As their stay lengthens and positive self-confidence is developed, the men are encouraged to register for their own accommodation, as appropriate to each individual.  The aim is that their stay at Genesis should not normally exceed one year, but the average stay is in fact around eighteen months. Many will return to visit after they have moved on.  Sometimes they are seeking support, but more often are keen to demonstrate the positive progress they have made. 

In common with many charities, The House of Genesis is funded through donations, grants, fees and Housing Benefits. The Charity continues to seek more long-term funding. 

## **c. VOLUNTEERS** 

The Charity is grateful for the support given by volunteers over the year, including in particular the services of two Chaplains, who make their services available to all residents each week. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES** 

The House of Genesis has continued to operate in a positive and stable manner.  The Board of Trustees has met quarterly, with additional meetings when required for operational reasons, and are pleased to be able to sustain the provision that Genesis is able to offer to 15 men at any one time. These are all men who have been discharged from prison or who come to us from a homeless situation. 

- 

## **Accommodation** 

- In March 2023. the landlord gave notice to the charity to vacate the property St James Close, leaving the Charity with 3 properties and able to support and accommodate 13 men. 

- In February 2024 an Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement was made for the Charity to use a property at 8 Prior Road to accommodate an additional 2 men 

- The Charity is actively seeking an additional property to rent. 

- Regular redecoration and refurbishment is carried out, usually when rooms become vacant to maintain a good standard of accommodation. 

- A Health and Safety audit of all properties has been carried out, which also covered fire risk and an asbestos survey. The work required has been carried out in all properties, but Health and Safety remains a regular topic at board meetings and in one-to-one discussions with the General Manager 

5 



- **Staff and Trustees** 

   - Staffing now consists of a full-time General Manager and three part-time support workers. 

   - In addition, a Finance Officer works for the Charity on a contract basis. 

   - Staffing is maintained at the appropriate level. The present staff provide cover on the premises during day time and occasional evening hours. On-call support is normally available at all other times. 

   - Two volunteer chaplains offer their services regularly to all residents, which is very much appreciated by some. Currently 6 of the residents regularly attend the local “Soul” church for services or various activities. 

   - The Charity now has five trustees with a variety of skills appropriate to the needs of the charity.  Trustees are seeking additional members of the board. 

- 

## **Residents** 

   - Referrals continue to come in on a regular basis and every vacancy has several applicants. 

   - Occupancy rates are closely monitored with a target of 90%, which is regularly exceeded. 

   - Whilst not all residents find that they are able to manage themselves with the support provided, most move on after a period with us and take up successful lives in the community. 

- **Finance** 

   - The financial situation remains stable and income covers expenditure.  The Business Plan and budget for the next year looks to increase the number of men we can accommodate and support, whilst maintain the present stability. 

- 

## **Projects** 

- To ensure regular review of all policies contained within the Charity’s “Staff Handbook” some are reviewed at each meeting of the board and amended or updated as necessary. 

- One of the trustees took the lead in bringing professional and expert help to ensure the project meets all requirements of Health and Safety regulation and legislation. Trustees have ensured all recommendations have been completed 

- The General Manager and Trustees have been developing contacts with relevant local organisations. Training courses have been shared with one organisation and referrals for residents have been obtained from another – both examples of the benefits of networking. 

- The Charity’s web-site has been regularly reviewed and updated. 

## **b. FUNDRAISING** 

The charity is sustainably funded. Fundraising is actively pursued for major items outside of normal running costs. 

## **c. RESERVES POLICY** 

The trustees have agreed a formula to calculate a minimum level of unrestricted reserves which the Charity to aim to hold. At September the figure calculated was £54,721, which is held in full at HSBC plc. The calculation to ascertain the level of reserves and situations where they may be used is detailed in Section A7 of the Staff Handbook. 

## **d. SERIOUS INCIDENT** 

There have been no serious incidents during the year reported to the Charity Commission. 

## **e. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SINCE THE YEAR END** 

There have been no significant events since the year end.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and regulations. 

Company and charity law require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have chosen to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the U.K. Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.  The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.    In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP); 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

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

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

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice; Accounting and Reporting by Charities (issued March 2005) and in accord with the special provisions of Part VII of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small entities. It was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:
