Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
For the benefit of the elderly living in the area of benefit to relieve poverty, sickness or distress and provide or assist in the provision of facilities for general welfare, recreation and leisure time activities with the object of improving the condition of life of the said persons. The area of benefit shall be within East Leeds.
The charity's main activities
HOPE enables and supports older people in the Halton Moor, Osmondthorpe and Sutton Park areas of Leeds to retain their independence by providing practical help, advice and support. We work to address the isolation, poverty, fear of crime and poor health which impact negatively on their lives. We provide outreach, advocacy, medical appointment support and group sessions to relieve isolation and loneliness.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.
HOPE enables and supports people 60 plus who live in the Halton Moor, Osmondthorpe and Sutton Park areas of Leeds. Our aims are to deliver services to meet individual and community needs; keeping safe/warm, peer support groups/sessions, shopping, debt/benefit advice, and activities to develop skills and reduce isolation. We are service user led and value the contribution of both service users and volunteers.
Achievements and performance
In March 2020 we had started to see the impact of the emerging global pandemic. Our centre was closed by Leeds City Council, and we set up offices remotely from home and made plans to visit our services user at home, in their gardens, through open windows etc. Not being able to run ‘physical’ groups we set up remote group sessions and delivered hundreds of hot meals, fish and chips, afternoon tea’s, activity packs plus lots more.
We were also asked by our local ward councillors in Temple Newsam and Leeds City Council to support one of the 27 COVID-19 Hubs that were set up by Leeds City Council and Voluntary Action Leeds to support people affected by the pandemic. This support included collecting prescriptions, dog walking, food parcel distribution to people having to shield or affected by the pandemic.
Volunteers – Our volunteers have supported every aspect of service delivery and provided 1000’s of support calls to people shielding, the most isolated and vulnerable of service users. Their dedication and support, never waivered and they have ensured all those in need have received help.
As a small charity we stepped up to the request from Leeds City Council at the start of the pandemic to operate a COVID Hub for people in the Temple Newsam Ward. As a result, we were able to secure significant funding to run this work. We were also successful in a number of other funding bids and as a result have financial security and see no risk for the next financial year plus.
Financial review
The net receipts for the year were £78,793, including net receipts of £17,569 on unrestricted funds and net receipts of £61,224 on restricted funds.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £17,854.
Halton Moor and Osmondthorpe Project for Elders aim to hold reserves amounting to between three and six months average expenditure.
This policy will be reviewed by the trustees annually in June/July.
