CREST WALTHAM FOREST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objective is to act as an independent charity seeking to respond to the needs of local people by providing services commensurate with the needs of groups and individuals. In pursuance of those objects, social and pastoral work continues to serve the more vulnerable sections of the community, particularly older people with disabilities and dementia, and those experiencing mental health problems. CREST's objectives are set by its Trustees, each of whom offer their time and skill on a voluntary basis for the betterment of the community. The objuctives are delivered by paid workers and volunteers, led by the Operations Director Chris O'Sullivan who took on the role in January, having been an employee of CREST mental health services for several years.
Public benefit
The objectives and activities, and achievement and performance sections of this report clearly set out that the activities which the charity undertakes are for the public benefit.
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the Charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Fundraising activities
CREST Day Services - Older people experiencing disability and/or dementia are served by a Disability and Dementia Day Opportunities Service for fifty weeks in the year. This provision was restricted due to the Coronavirus pandemic as a result of Government guidance but reopened when the restrictions were lifted, operating two days per week with capacity for fifteen clients each day. Reeferrals to the service have been slow to return to pre-covid numbers making it difficult to open more than two days per week from Colby Lodge, the sole venue in operation. The provision of transport to and from the venue remains challening for CREST both logistically and financially and the committee has explored innovative solutions to these challenges. Uncertainty surrounding referral numbers and the care needs of those referred have led to discussions with the local authority with concerns as to future intentions. Attendees, families and carers continue to regard the service commendably.
Harmony Hall - CREST manages Harmony Hall as a community resource for the people of Waltham Forest. Space is used by the borough's Adult Education Service in addition to a broad range of community groups, organisations and faith communities. Local families hire space for events, activities, meetings and significant occasions. The long-term status of Harmony Hall as a community entity continues to be uncertain, with the outcome of the review led by The Charity Commission not having reported as expected. However, the hall continues to attract interest and support from across the community, particularly amongst marginalized and disenfranchised groups.
Therapeutic Care for carers - CREST provides a twice-monthly support session for unpaid carers to take a break from their caring responsibilities. The project work is coordinated throughout the year with dedicated personnel, but with the provision currently not grant- maintained or supported financially, it is likely the service will run-down as member numbers decline in the coming months.
Time To Change - Waltham Forest was the first funded London hub for the national, Time to Change project which is a mental health, anti-discrimination campaign. CREST played a key role in Waltham Forest achieving this status and continues to play a major part in recruiting mental health champions in the borough and ensuring local employers sign up to the Time to Change employers' pledge. The initiative evolved into the Time to Talk scheme which has established CREST as a provider of innovative mental health support schemes.
The Snug is a community venue in central Walthamstow dedicated to supporting social connectedness and improved wellbeing for the mental health of adult residents across Waltham Forest. The Snug Community is a creative environment where there is a positive and supportive atmosphere for the people who volunteer and participate there. The participants develop relationships, undertake activities which enable them to grow and to feel connected with the overall objective of full participation in the community through work, volunteering, learning, and peer-supporting becoming the goal for many. The Snug service model has become the template for CREST's future mental health service initiatives and activities.
Work with the Big Locals:
St James' Street Big Local - CREST has been the local trusted organisation for this National Lottery community development programme in central Walthamstow since July 2013. Geographically, this is closest to Harmony Hall in particular, with several proposals having a direct impact on the community where CREST is located. As such, CREST has pledged its continued support to this Big Local with administrative, employment and organisational assistance as it prepares for the final year of community impact initiatives.

CREST WALTHAM FOREST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
North Meets South Big Local - From January 2018, CREST became the local trusted organisation for this National Lottery community development programme located in Barking and Dagenham and continued through to its conclusion.
William Morris Big Local - CREST has been the local trusted organisation for this National Lottery community development programme located in Walthamstow since 2015 and actively works to facilitate the community development work of this resident-led organisation through to its conclusion in September.
Hackney Wick Big Local - CREST began working with this particular community development programme in August 2018 and continues to provide support with governance and financial transactions.
Somerstown Big Local - CREST has provided this project with human resource and financial transaction capacity as well as organisational assistance to build a strong team of community development workers who are having a positive impact in their local community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
CREST's usual principal funding comes from paying customers at both Harmony Hall and our Disability and Dementia Day Service. A detailed breakdown of funding is given in the notes to the accounts. Funding applications continue to be submitted through statutory and non-statutory bodies.
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing surplus funds and, because these surpluses are only short-term comprising the duration of the project, they have found that bank deposit accounts are the most suitable for the charity's requirements.
Reserves policy
The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. At the balance sheet date, restricted funds were £135,892 (2023: £245,590) and unrestricted funds were £23,739 (2023: £25,175).
The trustees recommend a policy of holding three months' running costs as a reserve but this has not yet proved possible to achieve in the current economic climate. Funding is, therefore, also being developed to provide the charity with some financial security.
The Charity's financial position is monitored continuously by the Manager and Book-keeper who produce monthly accounts which are reviewed by the trustees during their monthly meetings.

As with every element of community life, the impact of the pandemic and consequent lockdown has had a devastating effect on CREST's operation. The measures and approaches we have adopted to ensure future sustainability are as follows:
Staffing - during the year to 31 March 2024 CREST staff, Adjustments to this arrangement were made as the situation demanded.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 1985, which was incorporated on 8th January 2001 and into which a charitable trust, registered as a charity in 1985, was transferred on 1st April 2006. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of a winding up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the The directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting. Business and management skills are well represented within the trustee body. The mix of trustee skills, if lost due to retirement, are maintained by active recruitment. Resigning trustees can choose to maintain active contact with the charity and provide their valuable skills and experience. Like other organisations, CREST endeavours to engage Trustees representing the diversity of the community in which it is located. It is an ongoing challenge and one which is never overlooked as we encourage service users and all stakeholders to participate.
Organisational structure
CREST Waltham Forest has a board of trustees who meet regularly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. Members are from a variety of professional and business backgrounds that add value to the work of the charity. Documents, management accounts and reports are distributed to trustees by the Manager to support the strategic decision- making process. A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services rests with the Manager with support from service managers. The Manager is responsible for ensuring that the charity delivers the services specified and that key performance indicators are met.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Induction and training of new trustees
Trustees are familiar with the work of the charity as they are provided with regular reports from the charity's management and project team. Publications from the Charity Commission are regularly distributed to all trustees.
Potential trustees are informed of the following:
-
The work carried out by the charity
-
Obligations and legal responsibilities of the board of trustees
-
Funding of the charity
-
Future plans
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
Risks to funding and income streams have led to an active approach by CREST to seek income generation and funding opportunities. Partnerships with groups and organisations experienced in recognising and generating new and appropriate, streams of funding are actively built and developed. Internal control risks are minimised by the use of policies and implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the various projects.
To support improved governance CREST has occasional themed Management Committee sub-groups in order to improve information and awareness about the issues facing the individual projects. Risk registers are held for individual CREST services.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Crest Waltham Forest ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised when the Trust has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Income from government and other grants, whether "capital" grants or "revenue" grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity.
Rental income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
Fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Items of less than £500 or an estimated life of two years or less are not capitalised. Assets are reviewed annually, those of limited or no further use to the charity being written off.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets over their estimated useful economic lives.

Fixed assets and depreciation
Office and computer equipment 20% on reducing balance
The asset's residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit and loss.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Going Concern
The charity had a small deficit in the year. The board confirm that they have generated sufficient funds to operate in the next twelve months.
As a result of these, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Debtors
Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Creditors
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, loans from third parties and loans from related parties, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Such instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
