Strategic Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
As we moved out of the final COVID 19 restrictions affecting our operations we turned head wind into the economic storm caused through rises in global inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. Increases in costs of materials, services and labour at a time when we were locked into historical contractual prices made the trading year very challenging indeed.
Such, much like the previous year, we have had to adapt and change our business practices to become leaner and more efficient in our service delivery. Goodwin is an amazing organisation that responds to whatever the external environment throws at us. We continued to deliver services throughout the pandemic and adapted our working methods. Those adapted methods continue today, and we have built resilience within our practices and staff teams.
As a board, we are incredibly proud of the way all our staff and volunteers pulled together throughout this exceptional period and continued to deliver much needed services to the community. In particular:
Continuing to provide the best start in life for children and families through our OFSTED registered Childrens Centres, Nurseries, Doula/Breastfeeding Peer Support and Youth Services. The onset of Family Hubs and the improved financial support for the childcare sector provide stability and opportunity for the year ahead.
Providing quality care to those with the most complex care need through our CQC registered Danny's Dream Service as service moved out of COVID restrictions mid-year.
Supporting the unemployed and economically inactive move into further training and employment through our Matrix and OFSTED registered provision. The transition from European Funding to UK Shared Prosperity Funding and access to Education Skills Funding Agency courses provides the opportunity to provide a more integrated pathway of support.
AsRentsa Home'sacrossEnglandour portfolioRegisteredand additionalprovider andsupportedInvestmentaccommodationPartnerwe provide regulatedto those most housingvulnerable at Affordableto rough sleeping. The Rough Sleepers Accommodation Programme will continue to seek acquiring additional units in the year ahead while we work with partners to develop new Affordable Homes through acquisition and new build.
Our longstanding partnerships within Hull City Council, the health fraternity and VCS has enabled us to maximise the impact of our Fareshare operations across the Humber sub-region providing food to those in hunger and access to help benefits and debts, mental health and befriending through initiatives like our own estate based Warm Space.
The current cost of living crisis will continue to have a significant impact, not only on all our beneficiaries, but also our staff and volunteers. With fuel and food costs rising, and NI deductions increasing, impacting take home pay, people are struggling. We continue to seek inventive and constructive ways to support not only our beneficiaries, but also our staff.
We are confident that our approach of flexibility and diversity will enable us to continue to meet the needs of the community into the future and deal with whatever the future holds. It's not going to be easy, but our history of resilience and sometimes stubbornness, combined with robust plans and horizon scanning will see us through.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There has been a comprehensive review of the risk register and other governance documents undertaken during the year, as part of a continuous review schedule, and a revised focus following the response to the cost-of-living crisis and increasing economic uncertainty. The Board are focused on the current cost of living crisis, which will increase our running costs, but also will result in an increased level of peaple needing our support. We must ensure that we can meet that increased need, whilst ensuring sustainability.

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
GOING CONCERN
The current economic and social environment (cost of living, energy prices, the War in Ukraine, residual impact of COVID 19) means that the Group faces operational challenges in the short to midterm. This has resulted in the Trustees approving a small deficit budget for the year to 31 March 2024 and implementing a scheme of monitoring and appraising on-going operations with an intention to return a balanced budget. Whilst acknowledging these facts the Trustees remain confident that the Group remains a going concern. This confidence is borne from the fact that: e Whilst short term budgets and forecasts indicate trading challenges, they are pessimistic with no allowance for non-committed income streams. Historically the Group have secured further grant income that has led to an overperformance against budget. This has continued in the year to 31 March 2023 with management accounts to July 2022 outperforming expectations.
-
e This performance is underpinned by a diversity of income streams which spread and reduce any direct risks associated with the current economic and social environment.
-
e This allows the organisation to be agile and restructure activities should financial headroom be at tisk to the extent that the Group deliver different outcomes to service users but in a cash generative manner.
-
e The current headroom in the Group's working capital facility provides the Group with time to focus and make any restructuring decisions in a sensible and cost-effective manner that protects both the future of the Group and its service users.
-
e The Trustees are confident that they could utilise other levers in the business model, such as utilising time to pay arrangements with HMRC, to protect working capital and the delivery of services if needed.
-
e Scenario planning shows that a focus on the growing housing operations of the business as a sole activity are cash generative and preserve the future of the Group. Whilst not a strategy the Trustees intend to pursue, it would provide short term financial sustainability if required.
-
e The terms of the current debt on key assets are favourable with good relationships with funders and no immediate pressure on servicing those facilities.
-
e However, commercial property assets could be disposed of, which whilst currently valued at approximately £5m would realise in a fire sale scenario, an estimated £4m of proceeds. This would ensure the continued financial sustainability of the Group if required.
Whilst acknowledging that uncertainty could exist on any of these assumptions given the volume of available options to the Trustees the financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis.
DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Goodwin has continued to develop its delivery programme and its strategy, with focus on sustainability and delivery of the Trust's objectives. The Strategic Business Plan has been reviewed and updated, and inroads have been made to new housing developments, and supported housing provision, both of which will generate a stable income stream for the Trust, contributing to the sustainability of the Trust which is in line with our Strategic Business Plan.
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Board have established certain key performance indicators (KPI's) which are important for monitoring monthly results against budget and re-forecast and monthly cash flow figures at the Finance Sub Committee. As part of this monitoring process the Trustees review incoming resources and expenditure against budget, and challenge and investigate significant variances. Staff have been working incredibly hard towards the challenges set by Trustees.
NON-FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Goodwin operates a set of non-financial KPI's for each project, which are reported quarterly to the Board of Trustees full Board meeting.

| Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
To be a fair and trusted employer
The Board are pleased to report that as well as implementing the National Minimum Wage increase at the start of the year, Goodwin was also able to improve the salary banding structure for all employees and provided an across the board pay rise for all staff. Staff retention levels are good, and the Trust continues to develop its staff through in-house and external training.
To fight poverty in all its forms within our community
FareShare Hull & Humber
The project has redistributed 896 tonnes of surplus food, that is equivalent to providing 2 million meals, to over 150 community organisations across the Humber sub-region. They have in turn supported over 17,000 individuals and saved those organisations of £3 million in food purchase costs that they have diverted into their front-line support services. Ongoing support from Hull City Council and public donations enables us to subsidise this service to members. Without the unwavering support of our volunteers and learners this would further not be possible.
Get into Goodwin
Our estate-based initiative has been funded through a combination of Green Social Prescribing, Know Your Neighbourhood and UKSPF grants that has enabled us to provide an on-going Warm Space within the Octagon that provides a weekly schedule of activities that includes Soup Social, Crafting Club, Job Club, Bingo, Allotment Group, R-evolution Cycling activities and Food Pantry. These activities are supported with access to Mental Health and Money/Debt/Benefits advice through CHCP and Hull and East Riding CAB. In January alone over 150 residents accessed this support.
Multiply
Our Government Levelling Up funded Multiply Math courses have focused content on providing learners with support on Household Budgeting and Cooking on a Budget. In the last quarter of the year, we supported 298 people and rewarded them with a £10 gift voucher each.
To provide affordable and sustainable homes.
We are incredibly proud of the continued 100% occupancy of our portfolio of Social Housing.
We are pleased that we are a fully compliant Registered Housing provider with Investment Partner status. We hope to use this status in the future to allow us to provide tangible support for other organisations wishing to become Registered Providers and to apply for funding from Homes England.
During the previous financial year, we were successful in securing funding from Homes England to acquire and refurbish 6 units to become homes for rough sleepers. At the time of writing this report, all units are fully tenanted. Additionally, we were successful in applying for further funding for 10 more units, to be delivered in the next financial year.
We continue to explore new opportunities for creating additional, good quality, affordable homes.
To be financially strong and stable
We are confident in the continuing success of Goodwin. Our diverse income streams including the rental income from our social housing stock ensures we can continue to grow and consolidate our position. We also have robust financial procedures and risk management in place which are overseen by a monthly Audit and Finance subcommittee.
To care for the health and wellbeing of our community and all the individuals within it

Goodwin works closely with Hull City Council, the contract provider, to ensure that the Family Hubs provision remains central to changes to the safeguarding and early help services in Hull; meeting the KPI’s as agreed annually with Hull City Council.
Doula / BFPS
Goodwin was successful in winning the Doula and Breastfeeding Peer Support Service (BFPS) tender in March 2023. The service has additional staff resources through the Best Start in Life, First 1001 days Government funding into the Local Authority. The service continues to deliver an excellent targeted Doula support for pregnant women and new mums across the city, with a universal breastfeeding service which is also citywide. This service is delivered by 100 trained volunteers supported by a small staff team. Nurseries Octagon nursery had a full Ofsted inspection in January 2022 and Fenchurch nursery had a full Ofsted inspection in February 2022. Both nurseries retained their “Good” Ofsted rating. We are continuing to build on our quality learning environments that meet the requirements of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (September 2021).
Danny’s Dream
Danny’s Dream continues to deliver an exceptionally high-quality service, focusing on individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities through a club-based offer at The Octagon and community support including access to a range of activities that meet the needs and interests of the individual service users. Danny’s Dream has retained its overall Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating of “Outstanding”.
Veterans Hub
After another successful year in supporting veterans though funding from Hull City Councils Veterans Covenant Fund we have we have facilitated weekly Coffee mornings, walking clubs, choirs, model making and linkages to specialist Health, Wealth, and Housing agencies. New funding in the year form the Armed Forces Covenant Fund allowed us to offer additional support through Operation Legend and the Family and Carers Support Service that redistributed financial support to both East Riding and Northeast Lincolnshire Councils.
This was the last year that we delivered the Armed Forces Community Hub and Work Club having made the decision to cede support to veterans specifically. We continue, however, to support many veterans through our rich tapestry of services and as Social Landlord
To provide and support access to education, training, and employment opportunities
Goodwin Training Services
The provision of Employment and Training support has long been at the centre of Goodwin's mission. Based at the Community Hub, Octagon and Thornton Village Hall we have delivered specific employability programmes for unemployed 16-29-year-olds through the Springboard Youth Employment Initiative, that has included: ESOL focused employability support for our BAME community, paid work placements within local SME's and targeted interventions for young people experiencing Mental Health and anxiety that has drawn specialist support from CHCP and MIND.
Also, through the Building Better Opportunities programme we have been able to support older people to gain employment. In developing a more holistic support offer we provide access to ICT through our UK Online status.
Our 16-19-year-old Traineeship provision was audited as part of Humber Learning Consortiums OFSTED which was award Good Provider and inspectors noted “Subcontractors provide effective education and support for trainees who are not yet ready for an apprenticeship and trainees who prefer to learn with a supportive employer and in small groups”.
Aligned to this we have seen a growth in the number of apprentices we employ across the organisation — investing in young people and supporting our own workforce development.

To make our community safe, resilient and a happy place to be
Creative People and Places
Creative People and Places brings with it a wealth of opportunities to the Estate, and Goodwin continues to seek ways in which it can be an active partner in the delivery of arts events across Hull. Goodwin has a seat on the board of the new company and will continue to work closely with it, to ensure the integration of arts within our community.
Funding was also received from the National Lottery to run the "Living Room’ project, based on North Point shopping centre.
The core CPP funding came to an end in December 2022 with an extension to March 2023. Goodwin then handed over the project to Back To Ours Arts Limited, which is a new company set up to take this over as they have successfully applied for National Portfolio status with the Arts Council.
Youth Provision
The delivery of our service is underpinned by the National Occupational Standards for Youth Work practice and aims to facilitate the personal, social, and educational development of young people. We also engage with our young people through the Youth Arts Takeover and Youth Music projects. The youth provision delivers both a universal open access youth club offer and targeted support to individual young people. Collocation with the Octagon Family Hubs means a joined-up service for these young people and adds value to the contracts.
Captial Grants received from the Youth Investment Fund and Biffa Award have enabled us to invest in our Youth Centre and Multi Use Games Area to provide modern, safe facilities for young people to be happy and thrive.
We celebrated the Queens Jubilee through our Jubilee Jamboree which saw over 200 residents attend our day long festival.
AMIF project
The AMIF housing support to Refugees project in partnership with Refugee Council provides specific housing information, guidance, and support to refugees in Hull in partnership with The Refugee Council and HCAS locally to December 2023.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND POSITION AT YEAR END INCLUDING FACTORS AFFECTING THAT POSITION
The group is reporting a deficit of £197k in the year (2022: deficit of £250k).
The company has sufficient reserves and funds available for at least 12 months from the approval date of the accounts. The Board have reviewed cashflows and reforecasts monthly throughout the year and are pleased at the level of improvements made and continue to be made. Based on sufficient cash flows the Trustees believe that the financial statements should be prepared as a going concern.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND TREASURY POLICY
The Goodwin Development Trust is a company limited by guarantee. It has no share capital and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The guarantee of each member is £1. The governing document is the Articles of Association of the company (amended by special resolutions 9 December 2002, 7 May 2003, 10 May 2005, 21 November 2005, 13 March 2007, February 2014 and 9 November 2021) and members of the Board of Trustees are the Members and Directors of the Company. It is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, registration number 4799. The Registered Provider's (RP) decision-making body is the Board of Trustees that meets monthly on the second Tuesday of each month. The Articles allow for a maximum of 11 Trustees.
8
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
There is an Audit and Finance Sub-committee which is chaired by a Trustee from the main Board with a senior staff member as support. This sub-board has its own Terms of Reference.
All sub-committee minutes are supplied to Trustees at the following Board meeting.
The RP has two trading subsidiary companies:
Goodwin Community Trading Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the charity. The Articles of Association provide for unlimited directors, two being independent directors. Currently the board comprises two directors in total, one of whom is a Goodwin Development Trust director.
Goodwin Community Housing Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the charity and was set up as a vehicle to hold the housing stock purchased and renovated by the charity. Currently the board comprises two directors, both of whom are Goodwin Development Trust directors.
CASH FLOWS AND CURRENT LIQUIDITY
The year-end cash position shows a net group overdraft position of £3,380k (2022: £2,722k, 2021: £1,801k), which includes loans and overdrafts of £3,030k. This has seen a reduced liability year on year. The change in the economic environment and move from grant funding to earned income resulted in the need for an overdraft from our main bankers, Handelsbanken. In addition to this, a loan of £3m was taken out with Hull City Council in 2019, to fund the new housing development alongside the grant from Homes England. Rental income remains at a level sufficient to service this debt. We have also taken out a further loan with Hull City Council to fund the new supported housing scheme, again income remains at a sufficient level to service this debt, £190k. As well as this we have borrowing of £150k to invest in further property but a Board decision was made not to proceed and this will be repaid in 23/24. The long-term cash flow indicates a return to a positive group cash balance.
VALUE FOR MONEY
The Trust's finance manual is updated annually and contains specific guidance over procurement to ensure best value is always achieved.
KEY ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED
The Trust's accounting policies are detailed within the notes to the financial statements.
REGULATOR’S INTERVENTION IN THE YEAR
There has been no intervention from the regulator during the year.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDING FACTORS AND INFLUENCES ON FUTURE PERFORMANCE Future developments for the group focus on strategic working with Hull City Council within the housing sector, looking particularly at new-build opportunities and the provision of supported housing. The long-term strategy remains the same as always, with a focus on improving the quality of life for residents of the Thornton estate, but considering the impact of cost of living, the need for financial stability and secure income streams is at the root of the strategy. Whilst we generated a surplus this year (regulated housing), and have a positive outlook for the next year, it is yet to be seen what impact there will be in the long term, as the world economy copes with the cost of living crisis, global inflation and rising interest rates.
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR INCLUDING THE IMPACT ON FUTURE OPERATIONS OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE There have been no events of significance since the end of the financial year.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Armstrong Watson Audit Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2008.

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the members of Goodwin Development Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Goodwin Development Trust (the ‘parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements: ° give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and ofthe parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the Group's surplus for the year then ended,
-
° have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
° have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the board's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the association's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the board with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
11
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
° the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
° the Group Strategic Report and the Trustees' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
° the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
° certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or ° we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 10, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 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 assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) 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 Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. 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:
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:
-
e the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities, and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The applicable laws and regulations include compliance with FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers 2018.
-
e we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group and Parent company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry. .
12
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
-
e we verified our enquiries through review of Board minutes and other correspondence throughout the year to identify any breaches of laws and regulations.
-
e identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
e making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected, and alleged fraud; and
-
e considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
e Weassessed the level of fraud risk and concluded that the area most susceptible to fraud was revenue recognition and management override of internal controls.
-
To address the risk of fraud/error with regard to revenue recognition, we: e performed substantive tests of detail over the various revenue streams in the financial statements; e performed analytical procedures in addition to substantive tests of detail with regards to the material streams of revenue in the financial statements;
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
e tested journal entries recorded on the Group's finance system to identify unusual transactions that may indicate override of controls; e reviewed key judgements and estimates for any evidence of management bias. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: e agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and ° enquiring of management and reviewing board minutes and other correspondence throughout the year to identify actual and potential litigation and claims. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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 Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the 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 Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Goodwin Development Trust is a charitable company domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 04454814 and charity number 1098520. The company is also registered with the Hames and Communities Agency, number 4799.
The registered office is Pod 5. The Octagon, Walker Street, Hull, HU3 2RA.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The RP is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 and is a Registered Provider of Social Housing.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting for Private Registered Social Housing Providers 2018 (Housing SORP) and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England 2019. The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Companies Act 2006.The accounts are prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis of accounting except as modified by the revaluation of investments and certain fixed assets.
Group accounts
The RP is required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. The consolidated accounts comprise the financial statements of Goodwin Development Trust and of its subsidiaries Goodwin Community Trading Limited and Goodwin Community Housing Limited.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and that all related conditions will be met. Government grants in respect of capital expenditure have been accounted for using the performance model, this being when all performance conditions have been met the income is recognised as turnover in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Turnover
Turnover represents rental and service charges income receivable in the year net of rent and service charge losses from voids, revenue grants from local authorities and the Homes and Communities Agency. It also includes income from charitable activities and activities for generating funds in the year. Turnover is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Going concern The current economic and social environment (cost of living, energy prices, the War in Ukraine, residual impact of COVID 19) means that the Group faces operational challenges in the short to midterm. This has resulted in the Trustees approving a deficit budget for the year to 31 March 2024 and implementing a scheme of monitoring and appraising on-going operations. Whilst acknowledging these facts the Trustees remain confident that the Group remains a going concern.
This confidence is borne from the fact that:
-
e Whilst short term budgets and forecasts indicate trading challenges, they are pessimistic with no allowance for non-committed income streams. Historically the Group have secured further grant income that has led to an overperformance against budget. This has continued in the year to 31 March 2024 with management accounts to July 2023 outperforming expectations.
-
e This performance is underpinned by a diversity of income streams which spread and reduce any direct risks associated with the current economic and social environment.
18
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
-
e This allows the organisation to be agile and restructure activities should financial headroom be at risk to the extent that the Group deliver different outcomes to service users but in a cash generative manner.
-
° Thecurrent headroom in the Group’s working capital facility provides the Group with time to focus and make any restructuring decisions in a sensible and cost-effective manner that protects both the future of the Group and its service users.
-
e The Trustees are confident that they could utilise other levers in the business model, such as utilising time to pay arrangements with HMRC, to protect working capital and the delivery of services if needed.
-
e Scenario planning shows that a focus on the growing housing operations of the business as a sole activity are cash generative and preserve the future of the Group. Whilst not a strategy the Trustees intend to pursue, it would provide short term financial sustainability if required.
-
° The terms of the current debt on key assets are favourable with good relationships with funders and no immediate pressure on servicing those facilities.
-
e However, commercial property assets could be disposed of, which whilst currently valued at approximately £5m would realise in a fire sale scenario, an estimated £4m of proceeds. This would ensure the continued financial sustainability of the Group if required.
Whilst acknowledging that uncertainty could exist on any of these assumptions given the volume of available options to the Trustees the financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation The cost of tangible fixed assets is written off over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis. Rates used for this year’s provision are:
| Freehold Propert | |
|---|---|
| Leasehold Propert | 2% or lease term |
| MotorVehicles | |
| 15%-33.3% |
The useful economic lives of all tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually.
Housing Properties
Housing properties are recognised initially at cost and thereafter carried at fair value less depreciation and impairment charged subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Fair value is based on periodic valuations prepared by key management personnel with guidance from professional valuers and is determined from market-based evidence by appraisal. Valuations are performed frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Fair value gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Any revaluation surplus is credited to the revaluation reserve in equity except to the extent that it reverses a decrease in the carrying value of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent of any existing surplus in respect of that asset in the revaluation reserve.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and are written down immediately to their recoverable amount. existing housing properties Expenditure on existing housing properties is capitalised when it is either capable of generating increased future rents, extends their useful economic lives or significantly reduces future maintenance costs. All other expenditure in respect of general repairs to the housing stock is charged to the income and expenditure accounts as it is incurred.

Impairment
All properties are considered for impairment annually and detailed reviews of assets for impairment are carried out if there is an indication that impairment has occurred or if they are not being depreciated.
Impairments that are a result of a major reduction in the service potential of a property are recognised in the income and expenditure account. Impairments that reflect general changes in price are, where the property is shown at a valuation, recognised in the statement of total recognised surpluses and deficits until the value of the asset falls to depreciated historical cost.
Further impairments, or the full impairment if the property has not been revalued, are then recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Donated land
Donated land which is unconnected with any intended development is measured at current value and recognised in turnover with other donations, where the donation is from a non-public body and as a government grant where it is from a public body.
Where land is donated or transferred at a price less than its open market value, or where it has been donated as part of a development scheme, it is included at its current value on the date it is received. The difference between the current value and the transfer price of land transferred from central or local government or other public authorities is treated as a government grant. Where land is donated or transferred by a non-public body the difference is recognised in turnover.
Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items.
Trade and other debtors
Trade debtors are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount. Where the time vale of money is material, receivables are carried at amortised cost. Provision is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover balances in full. Balances are written off when the probability of recovery is considered remote.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents includes term loans provided by financial institutions, giving a net debt figure when looking at total cash and cash equivalents. The Trustees feel this presents a true and fair view of the liquid resources of the Company.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the Company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Leased assets
Tangible fixed assets acquired under finance leases or hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated in the same manner as other tangible fixed assets. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which they are incurred.

Current Taxation No taxation is payable by the RP, since it has charitable status, and its activities are exempt from tax.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid io the taxation authorities based on tax rates and laws that are enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, with the following exceptions: Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is released or liability settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Designated reserves Designated reserves are part of unrestricted reserves which have been earmarked by the Board for a particular purpose. Such designations may be reversed by future Board decisions. Expenditure cannot be directly set against designated reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account. A transfer is then made from designated reserves as appropriate. Restricted reserves Restricted reserves are those reserves which are only expendable in accordance with the wishes of the funder or regulatory body. Restricted reserves include funds raised in response to a specific appeal. Expenditure cannot be directly set against restricted reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account. A transfer from restricted reserves is then made as appropriate. Where a restricted reserve is represented by assets that are then revalued, the revaluation element is added to the restricted reserve.
Value Added Tax
Irrecoverable VAT which can be attributed to capital item or revenue expenditure is added to the cost of the capital item or expenses where practicable and material. The activities of the RP are partially exempt from VAT. A cost centre structure is utilised to account for VAT in the most appropriate manner. Some activities are therefore shown net of VAT where the VAT can be recovered in whole or in part. The irrecoverable element of the partially recoverable VAT is shown as a cost within Operating costs Pension costs The RP operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payments obligations. Exemptions As a small company, the RP has not disclosed a Company Statement of Changes in Equity not a Statement of Changes in Net Debt.

Judgement in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. Due to the nature of estimations actual outcomes may differ from initial expectations. Key sources of estimation uncertainty included within these financial statements include several estimations which are detailed within the above accounting policies. Management apply judgement and estimates in determining the classification of property, plant, and equipment. With regards assets subject to full rental (i.e., not used for charitable purposes) where the assets are actively marketed management apply a judgement that these should be presented as a current asset over non-current asset. This includes having estimated any impairment likely to arise on disposal. This impairment is calculated by management as the difference between carrying value and anticipated selling price. Where anticipated selling prices exceeds carrying value no uplift in value is recognised within assets.

Strategic Report for the year ended 31 March 2023
REVIEW OF BUSINESS
As we moved out of the final COVID 19 restrictions affecting our operations we turned head wind into the economic storm caused through rises in global inflation and the cost-of-living crisis. Increases in costs of materials, services and labour at a time when we were locked into historical contractual prices made the trading year very challenging indeed.
Such, much like the previous year, we have had to adapt and change our business practices to become leaner and more efficient in our service delivery. Goodwin is an amazing organisation that responds to whatever the external environment throws at us. We continued to deliver services throughout the pandemic and adapted our working methods. Those adapted methods continue today, and we have built resilience within our practices and staff teams.
As a board, we are incredibly proud of the way all our staff and volunteers pulled together throughout this exceptional period and continued to deliver much needed services to the community. In particular:
Continuing to provide the best start in life for children and families through our OFSTED registered Childrens Centres, Nurseries, Doula/Breastfeeding Peer Support and Youth Services. The onset of Family Hubs and the improved financial support for the childcare sector provide stability and opportunity for the year ahead.
Providing quality care to those with the most complex care need through our CQC registered Danny's Dream Service as service moved out of COVID restrictions mid-year.
Supporting the unemployed and economically inactive move into further training and employment through our Matrix and OFSTED registered provision. The transition from European Funding to UK Shared Prosperity Funding and access to Education Skills Funding Agency courses provides the opportunity to provide a more integrated pathway of support.
AsRentsa Home'sacrossEnglandour portfolioRegisteredand additionalprovider andsupportedInvestmentaccommodationPartnerwe provide regulatedto those most housingvulnerable at Affordableto rough sleeping. The Rough Sleepers Accommodation Programme will continue to seek acquiring additional units in the year ahead while we work with partners to develop new Affordable Homes through acquisition and new build.
Our longstanding partnerships within Hull City Council, the health fraternity and VCS has enabled us to maximise the impact of our Fareshare operations across the Humber sub-region providing food to those in hunger and access to help benefits and debts, mental health and befriending through initiatives like our own estate based Warm Space.
The current cost of living crisis will continue to have a significant impact, not only on all our beneficiaries, but also our staff and volunteers. With fuel and food costs rising, and NI deductions increasing, impacting take home pay, people are struggling. We continue to seek inventive and constructive ways to support not only our beneficiaries, but also our staff.
We are confident that our approach of flexibility and diversity will enable us to continue to meet the needs of the community into the future and deal with whatever the future holds. It's not going to be easy, but our history of resilience and sometimes stubbornness, combined with robust plans and horizon scanning will see us through.
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There has been a comprehensive review of the risk register and other governance documents undertaken during the year, as part of a continuous review schedule, and a revised focus following the response to the cost-of-living crisis and increasing economic uncertainty. The Board are focused on the current cost of living crisis, which will increase our running costs, but also will result in an increased level of peaple needing our support. We must ensure that we can meet that increased need, whilst ensuring sustainability.

GOING CONCERN
The current economic and social environment (cost of living, energy prices, the War in Ukraine, residual impact of COVID 19) means that the Group faces operational challenges in the short to midterm. This has resulted in the Trustees approving a small deficit budget for the year to 31 March 2024 and implementing a scheme of monitoring and appraising on-going operations with an intention to return a balanced budget. Whilst acknowledging these facts the Trustees remain confident that the Group remains a going concern. This confidence is borne from the fact that: e Whilst short term budgets and forecasts indicate trading challenges, they are pessimistic with no allowance for non-committed income streams. Historically the Group have secured further grant income that has led to an overperformance against budget. This has continued in the year to 31 March 2023 with management accounts to July 2022 outperforming expectations.
-
e This performance is underpinned by a diversity of income streams which spread and reduce any direct risks associated with the current economic and social environment.
-
e This allows the organisation to be agile and restructure activities should financial headroom be at tisk to the extent that the Group deliver different outcomes to service users but in a cash generative manner.
-
e The current headroom in the Group's working capital facility provides the Group with time to focus and make any restructuring decisions in a sensible and cost-effective manner that protects both the future of the Group and its service users.
-
e The Trustees are confident that they could utilise other levers in the business model, such as utilising time to pay arrangements with HMRC, to protect working capital and the delivery of services if needed.
-
e Scenario planning shows that a focus on the growing housing operations of the business as a sole activity are cash generative and preserve the future of the Group. Whilst not a strategy the Trustees intend to pursue, it would provide short term financial sustainability if required.
-
e The terms of the current debt on key assets are favourable with good relationships with funders and no immediate pressure on servicing those facilities.
-
e However, commercial property assets could be disposed of, which whilst currently valued at approximately £5m would realise in a fire sale scenario, an estimated £4m of proceeds. This would ensure the continued financial sustainability of the Group if required.
Whilst acknowledging that uncertainty could exist on any of these assumptions given the volume of available options to the Trustees the financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis.
DEVELOPMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Goodwin has continued to develop its delivery programme and its strategy, with focus on sustainability and delivery of the Trust's objectives. The Strategic Business Plan has been reviewed and updated, and inroads have been made to new housing developments, and supported housing provision, both of which will generate a stable income stream for the Trust, contributing to the sustainability of the Trust which is in line with our Strategic Business Plan.
FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The Board have established certain key performance indicators (KPI's) which are important for monitoring monthly results against budget and re-forecast and monthly cash flow figures at the Finance Sub Committee. As part of this monitoring process the Trustees review incoming resources and expenditure against budget, and challenge and investigate significant variances. Staff have been working incredibly hard towards the challenges set by Trustees.
NON-FINANCIAL KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Goodwin operates a set of non-financial KPI's for each project, which are reported quarterly to the Board of Trustees full Board meeting.

To be a fair and trusted employer
The Board are pleased to report that as well as implementing the National Minimum Wage increase at the start of the year, Goodwin was also able to improve the salary banding structure for all employees and provided an across the board pay rise for all staff. Staff retention levels are good, and the Trust continues to develop its staff through in-house and external training.
To fight poverty in all its forms within our community
FareShare Hull & Humber
The project has redistributed 896 tonnes of surplus food, that is equivalent to providing 2 million meals, to over 150 community organisations across the Humber sub-region. They have in turn supported over 17,000 individuals and saved those organisations of £3 million in food purchase costs that they have diverted into their front-line support services. Ongoing support from Hull City Council and public donations enables us to subsidise this service to members. Without the unwavering support of our volunteers and learners this would further not be possible.
Get into Goodwin
Our estate-based initiative has been funded through a combination of Green Social Prescribing, Know Your Neighbourhood and UKSPF grants that has enabled us to provide an on-going Warm Space within the Octagon that provides a weekly schedule of activities that includes Soup Social, Crafting Club, Job Club, Bingo, Allotment Group, R-evolution Cycling activities and Food Pantry. These activities are supported with access to Mental Health and Money/Debt/Benefits advice through CHCP and Hull and East Riding CAB. In January alone over 150 residents accessed this support.
Multiply
Our Government Levelling Up funded Multiply Math courses have focused content on providing learners with support on Household Budgeting and Cooking on a Budget. In the last quarter of the year, we supported 298 people and rewarded them with a £10 gift voucher each.
To provide affordable and sustainable homes.
We are incredibly proud of the continued 100% occupancy of our portfolio of Social Housing.
We are pleased that we are a fully compliant Registered Housing provider with Investment Partner status. We hope to use this status in the future to allow us to provide tangible support for other organisations wishing to become Registered Providers and to apply for funding from Homes England.
During the previous financial year, we were successful in securing funding from Homes England to acquire and refurbish 6 units to become homes for rough sleepers. At the time of writing this report, all units are fully tenanted. Additionally, we were successful in applying for further funding for 10 more units, to be delivered in the next financial year.
We continue to explore new opportunities for creating additional, good quality, affordable homes.
To be financially strong and stable
We are confident in the continuing success of Goodwin. Our diverse income streams including the rental income from our social housing stock ensures we can continue to grow and consolidate our position. We also have robust financial procedures and risk management in place which are overseen by a monthly Audit and Finance subcommittee.
To care for the health and wellbeing of our community and all the individuals within it
Children’s Centres (Family Hubs)

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
Hull has been awarded funding to develop Children's Centres into Family Hubs. There will be rebranding and additional resources to support the youngest children. Goodwin continues to deliver the Family Hubs provision at Fenchurch, Marvell, and the Octagon. Goodwin works closely with Hull City Council, the contract provider, to ensure that the Family Hubs provision remains central to changes to the safeguarding and early help services in Hull; meeting the KPI’s as agreed annually with Hull City Council.
Doula / BFPS
Goodwin was successful in winning the Doula and Breastfeeding Peer Support Service (BFPS) tender in March 2023. The service has additional staff resources through the Best Start in Life, First 1001 days Government funding into the Local Authority. The service continues to deliver an excellent targeted Doula support for pregnant women and new mums across the city, with a universal breastfeeding service which is also citywide. This service is delivered by 100 trained volunteers supported by a small staff team. Nurseries Octagon nursery had a full Ofsted inspection in January 2022 and Fenchurch nursery had a full Ofsted inspection in February 2022. Both nurseries retained their “Good” Ofsted rating. We are continuing to build on our quality learning environments that meet the requirements of the revised Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (September 2021).
Danny’s Dream
Danny’s Dream continues to deliver an exceptionally high-quality service, focusing on individuals with profound and multiple learning disabilities through a club-based offer at The Octagon and community support including access to a range of activities that meet the needs and interests of the individual service users. Danny’s Dream has retained its overall Care Quality Commission (CQC) rating of “Outstanding”.
Veterans Hub
After another successful year in supporting veterans though funding from Hull City Councils Veterans Covenant Fund we have we have facilitated weekly Coffee mornings, walking clubs, choirs, model making and linkages to specialist Health, Wealth, and Housing agencies. New funding in the year form the Armed Forces Covenant Fund allowed us to offer additional support through Operation Legend and the Family and Carers Support Service that redistributed financial support to both East Riding and Northeast Lincolnshire Councils.
This was the last year that we delivered the Armed Forces Community Hub and Work Club having made the decision to cede support to veterans specifically. We continue, however, to support many veterans through our rich tapestry of services and as Social Landlord
To provide and support access to education, training, and employment opportunities
Goodwin Training Services
The provision of Employment and Training support has long been at the centre of Goodwin's mission. Based at the Community Hub, Octagon and Thornton Village Hall we have delivered specific employability programmes for unemployed 16-29-year-olds through the Springboard Youth Employment Initiative, that has included: ESOL focused employability support for our BAME community, paid work placements within local SME's and targeted interventions for young people experiencing Mental Health and anxiety that has drawn specialist support from CHCP and MIND.
Also, through the Building Better Opportunities programme we have been able to support older people to gain employment. In developing a more holistic support offer we provide access to ICT through our UK Online status.
Our 16-19-year-old Traineeship provision was audited as part of Humber Learning Consortiums OFSTED which was award Good Provider and inspectors noted “Subcontractors provide effective education and support for trainees who are not yet ready for an apprenticeship and trainees who prefer to learn with a supportive employer and in small groups”.
Aligned to this we have seen a growth in the number of apprentices we employ across the organisation — investing in young people and supporting our own workforce development.

To make our community safe, resilient and a happy place to be
Creative People and Places
Creative People and Places brings with it a wealth of opportunities to the Estate, and Goodwin continues to seek ways in which it can be an active partner in the delivery of arts events across Hull. Goodwin has a seat on the board of the new company and will continue to work closely with it, to ensure the integration of arts within our community.
Funding was also received from the National Lottery to run the "Living Room’ project, based on North Point shopping centre.
The core CPP funding came to an end in December 2022 with an extension to March 2023. Goodwin then handed over the project to Back To Ours Arts Limited, which is a new company set up to take this over as they have successfully applied for National Portfolio status with the Arts Council.
Youth Provision
The delivery of our service is underpinned by the National Occupational Standards for Youth Work practice and aims to facilitate the personal, social, and educational development of young people. We also engage with our young people through the Youth Arts Takeover and Youth Music projects. The youth provision delivers both a universal open access youth club offer and targeted support to individual young people. Collocation with the Octagon Family Hubs means a joined-up service for these young people and adds value to the contracts.
Captial Grants received from the Youth Investment Fund and Biffa Award have enabled us to invest in our Youth Centre and Multi Use Games Area to provide modern, safe facilities for young people to be happy and thrive.
We celebrated the Queens Jubilee through our Jubilee Jamboree which saw over 200 residents attend our day long festival.
AMIF project
The AMIF housing support to Refugees project in partnership with Refugee Council provides specific housing information, guidance, and support to refugees in Hull in partnership with The Refugee Council and HCAS locally to December 2023.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND POSITION AT YEAR END INCLUDING FACTORS AFFECTING THAT POSITION
The group is reporting a deficit of £197k in the year (2022: deficit of £250k).
The company has sufficient reserves and funds available for at least 12 months from the approval date of the accounts. The Board have reviewed cashflows and reforecasts monthly throughout the year and are pleased at the level of improvements made and continue to be made. Based on sufficient cash flows the Trustees believe that the financial statements should be prepared as a going concern.
CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND TREASURY POLICY
The Goodwin Development Trust is a company limited by guarantee. It has no share capital and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission. The guarantee of each member is £1. The governing document is the Articles of Association of the company (amended by special resolutions 9 December 2002, 7 May 2003, 10 May 2005, 21 November 2005, 13 March 2007, February 2014 and 9 November 2021) and members of the Board of Trustees are the Members and Directors of the Company. It is regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing, registration number 4799. The Registered Provider's (RP) decision-making body is the Board of Trustees that meets monthly on the second Tuesday of each month. The Articles allow for a maximum of 11 Trustees.
8
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
There is an Audit and Finance Sub-committee which is chaired by a Trustee from the main Board with a senior staff member as support. This sub-board has its own Terms of Reference.
All sub-committee minutes are supplied to Trustees at the following Board meeting.
The RP has two trading subsidiary companies:
Goodwin Community Trading Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the charity. The Articles of Association provide for unlimited directors, two being independent directors. Currently the board comprises two directors in total, one of whom is a Goodwin Development Trust director.
Goodwin Community Housing Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of the charity and was set up as a vehicle to hold the housing stock purchased and renovated by the charity. Currently the board comprises two directors, both of whom are Goodwin Development Trust directors.
CASH FLOWS AND CURRENT LIQUIDITY
The year-end cash position shows a net group overdraft position of £3,380k (2022: £2,722k, 2021: £1,801k), which includes loans and overdrafts of £3,030k. This has seen a reduced liability year on year. The change in the economic environment and move from grant funding to earned income resulted in the need for an overdraft from our main bankers, Handelsbanken. In addition to this, a loan of £3m was taken out with Hull City Council in 2019, to fund the new housing development alongside the grant from Homes England. Rental income remains at a level sufficient to service this debt. We have also taken out a further loan with Hull City Council to fund the new supported housing scheme, again income remains at a sufficient level to service this debt, £190k. As well as this we have borrowing of £150k to invest in further property but a Board decision was made not to proceed and this will be repaid in 23/24. The long-term cash flow indicates a return to a positive group cash balance.
VALUE FOR MONEY
The Trust's finance manual is updated annually and contains specific guidance over procurement to ensure best value is always achieved.
KEY ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED
The Trust's accounting policies are detailed within the notes to the financial statements.
REGULATOR’S INTERVENTION IN THE YEAR
There has been no intervention from the regulator during the year.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDING FACTORS AND INFLUENCES ON FUTURE PERFORMANCE Future developments for the group focus on strategic working with Hull City Council within the housing sector, looking particularly at new-build opportunities and the provision of supported housing. The long-term strategy remains the same as always, with a focus on improving the quality of life for residents of the Thornton estate, but considering the impact of cost of living, the need for financial stability and secure income streams is at the root of the strategy. Whilst we generated a surplus this year (regulated housing), and have a positive outlook for the next year, it is yet to be seen what impact there will be in the long term, as the world economy copes with the cost of living crisis, global inflation and rising interest rates.
EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR INCLUDING THE IMPACT ON FUTURE OPERATIONS OF SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE There have been no events of significance since the end of the financial year.
AUDITORS
The auditors, Armstrong Watson Audit Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2008.

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee) Independent auditor’s report to the members of Goodwin Development Trust
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Goodwin Development Trust (the ‘parent Company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group Statement of Cash Flows, the Group and Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion the financial statements: ° give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and ofthe parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of the Group's surplus for the year then ended,
-
° have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
° have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Accounting Direction for private registered providers of social housing in England 2019.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the board's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the association's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the board with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
11
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
° the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
° the Group Strategic Report and the Trustees' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Trustees' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
° adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
° the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
° certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or ° we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page 10, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 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 assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) 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 Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. 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:
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:
-
e the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities, and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The applicable laws and regulations include compliance with FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006, UK tax legislation and the Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers 2018.
-
e we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group and Parent company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the industry. .
12
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
-
e we verified our enquiries through review of Board minutes and other correspondence throughout the year to identify any breaches of laws and regulations.
-
e identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
e making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected, and alleged fraud; and
-
e considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
e Weassessed the level of fraud risk and concluded that the area most susceptible to fraud was revenue recognition and management override of internal controls.
-
To address the risk of fraud/error with regard to revenue recognition, we: e performed substantive tests of detail over the various revenue streams in the financial statements; e performed analytical procedures in addition to substantive tests of detail with regards to the material streams of revenue in the financial statements;
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
e tested journal entries recorded on the Group's finance system to identify unusual transactions that may indicate override of controls; e reviewed key judgements and estimates for any evidence of management bias. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: e agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; and ° enquiring of management and reviewing board minutes and other correspondence throughout the year to identify actual and potential litigation and claims. Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
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

Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
1. STATUTORY INFORMATION
Goodwin Development Trust is a charitable company domiciled in England and Wales, registration number 04454814 and charity number 1098520. The company is also registered with the Hames and Communities Agency, number 4799.
The registered office is Pod 5. The Octagon, Walker Street, Hull, HU3 2RA.
2. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The RP is incorporated under the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 and is a Registered Provider of Social Housing.
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland, the Statement of Recommended Practice Accounting for Private Registered Social Housing Providers 2018 (Housing SORP) and the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing in England 2019. The financial statements are also prepared under the requirements of the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008 and the Companies Act 2006.The accounts are prepared in accordance with the historical cost basis of accounting except as modified by the revaluation of investments and certain fixed assets.
Group accounts
The RP is required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. The consolidated accounts comprise the financial statements of Goodwin Development Trust and of its subsidiaries Goodwin Community Trading Limited and Goodwin Community Housing Limited.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and that all related conditions will be met. Government grants in respect of capital expenditure have been accounted for using the performance model, this being when all performance conditions have been met the income is recognised as turnover in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Turnover
Turnover represents rental and service charges income receivable in the year net of rent and service charge losses from voids, revenue grants from local authorities and the Homes and Communities Agency. It also includes income from charitable activities and activities for generating funds in the year. Turnover is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Going concern The current economic and social environment (cost of living, energy prices, the War in Ukraine, residual impact of COVID 19) means that the Group faces operational challenges in the short to midterm. This has resulted in the Trustees approving a deficit budget for the year to 31 March 2024 and implementing a scheme of monitoring and appraising on-going operations. Whilst acknowledging these facts the Trustees remain confident that the Group remains a going concern.
This confidence is borne from the fact that:
-
e Whilst short term budgets and forecasts indicate trading challenges, they are pessimistic with no allowance for non-committed income streams. Historically the Group have secured further grant income that has led to an overperformance against budget. This has continued in the year to 31 March 2024 with management accounts to July 2023 outperforming expectations.
-
e This performance is underpinned by a diversity of income streams which spread and reduce any direct risks associated with the current economic and social environment.
18
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee)
-
e This allows the organisation to be agile and restructure activities should financial headroom be at risk to the extent that the Group deliver different outcomes to service users but in a cash generative manner.
-
° Thecurrent headroom in the Group’s working capital facility provides the Group with time to focus and make any restructuring decisions in a sensible and cost-effective manner that protects both the future of the Group and its service users.
-
e The Trustees are confident that they could utilise other levers in the business model, such as utilising time to pay arrangements with HMRC, to protect working capital and the delivery of services if needed.
-
e Scenario planning shows that a focus on the growing housing operations of the business as a sole activity are cash generative and preserve the future of the Group. Whilst not a strategy the Trustees intend to pursue, it would provide short term financial sustainability if required.
-
° The terms of the current debt on key assets are favourable with good relationships with funders and no immediate pressure on servicing those facilities.
-
e However, commercial property assets could be disposed of, which whilst currently valued at approximately £5m would realise in a fire sale scenario, an estimated £4m of proceeds. This would ensure the continued financial sustainability of the Group if required.
Whilst acknowledging that uncertainty could exist on any of these assumptions given the volume of available options to the Trustees the financial statements have accordingly been prepared on a going concern basis.
Fixed Assets and Depreciation The cost of tangible fixed assets is written off over their expected useful lives on a straight-line basis. Rates used for this year’s provision are:
| Freehold Propert | |
|---|---|
| Leasehold Propert | 2% or lease term |
| MotorVehicles | |
| 15%-33.3% |
The useful economic lives of all tangible fixed assets are reviewed annually.
Housing Properties
Housing properties are recognised initially at cost and thereafter carried at fair value less depreciation and impairment charged subsequent to the date of the revaluation. Fair value is based on periodic valuations prepared by key management personnel with guidance from professional valuers and is determined from market-based evidence by appraisal. Valuations are performed frequently enough to ensure that the fair value of a revalued asset does not differ materially from its carrying amount. Fair value gains and losses are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Any revaluation surplus is credited to the revaluation reserve in equity except to the extent that it reverses a decrease in the carrying value of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss, in which case the increase is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent of any existing surplus in respect of that asset in the revaluation reserve.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable and are written down immediately to their recoverable amount. existing housing properties Expenditure on existing housing properties is capitalised when it is either capable of generating increased future rents, extends their useful economic lives or significantly reduces future maintenance costs. All other expenditure in respect of general repairs to the housing stock is charged to the income and expenditure accounts as it is incurred.

Impairment
All properties are considered for impairment annually and detailed reviews of assets for impairment are carried out if there is an indication that impairment has occurred or if they are not being depreciated.
Impairments that are a result of a major reduction in the service potential of a property are recognised in the income and expenditure account. Impairments that reflect general changes in price are, where the property is shown at a valuation, recognised in the statement of total recognised surpluses and deficits until the value of the asset falls to depreciated historical cost.
Further impairments, or the full impairment if the property has not been revalued, are then recognised in the income and expenditure account.
Donated land
Donated land which is unconnected with any intended development is measured at current value and recognised in turnover with other donations, where the donation is from a non-public body and as a government grant where it is from a public body.
Where land is donated or transferred at a price less than its open market value, or where it has been donated as part of a development scheme, it is included at its current value on the date it is received. The difference between the current value and the transfer price of land transferred from central or local government or other public authorities is treated as a government grant. Where land is donated or transferred by a non-public body the difference is recognised in turnover.
Stock
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making allowance for any obsolete or slow-moving items.
Trade and other debtors
Trade debtors are recognised and carried at the lower of their original invoiced value and recoverable amount. Where the time vale of money is material, receivables are carried at amortised cost. Provision is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover balances in full. Balances are written off when the probability of recovery is considered remote.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash equivalents includes term loans provided by financial institutions, giving a net debt figure when looking at total cash and cash equivalents. The Trustees feel this presents a true and fair view of the liquid resources of the Company.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the Company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Leased assets
Tangible fixed assets acquired under finance leases or hire purchase contracts are capitalised and depreciated in the same manner as other tangible fixed assets. The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs
All borrowing costs are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the year in which they are incurred.

Current Taxation No taxation is payable by the RP, since it has charitable status, and its activities are exempt from tax.
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid io the taxation authorities based on tax rates and laws that are enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax is recognised on all temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements, with the following exceptions: Where the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary difference, carried forward tax credits or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are expected to apply when the related asset is released or liability settled, based on tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date. Designated reserves Designated reserves are part of unrestricted reserves which have been earmarked by the Board for a particular purpose. Such designations may be reversed by future Board decisions. Expenditure cannot be directly set against designated reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account. A transfer is then made from designated reserves as appropriate. Restricted reserves Restricted reserves are those reserves which are only expendable in accordance with the wishes of the funder or regulatory body. Restricted reserves include funds raised in response to a specific appeal. Expenditure cannot be directly set against restricted reserves but is taken through the income and expenditure account. A transfer from restricted reserves is then made as appropriate. Where a restricted reserve is represented by assets that are then revalued, the revaluation element is added to the restricted reserve.
Value Added Tax
Irrecoverable VAT which can be attributed to capital item or revenue expenditure is added to the cost of the capital item or expenses where practicable and material. The activities of the RP are partially exempt from VAT. A cost centre structure is utilised to account for VAT in the most appropriate manner. Some activities are therefore shown net of VAT where the VAT can be recovered in whole or in part. The irrecoverable element of the partially recoverable VAT is shown as a cost within Operating costs Pension costs The RP operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payments obligations. Exemptions As a small company, the RP has not disclosed a Company Statement of Changes in Equity not a Statement of Changes in Net Debt.
21
Goodwin Development Trust (A Company limited by Guarantee) Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 Continued
Judgement in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenue and expenses during the year. Due to the nature of estimations actual outcomes may differ from initial expectations. Key sources of estimation uncertainty included within these financial statements include several estimations which are detailed within the above accounting policies. Management apply judgement and estimates in determining the classification of property, plant, and equipment. With regards assets subject to full rental (i.e., not used for charitable purposes) where the assets are actively marketed management apply a judgement that these should be presented as a current asset over non-current asset. This includes having estimated any impairment likely to arise on disposal. This impairment is calculated by management as the difference between carrying value and anticipated selling price. Where anticipated selling prices exceeds carrying value no uplift in value is recognised within assets.
