Securing Employment

The Trust's Recovery Academy - via its Job Club (facilitated by an Academy Coach) - provided service users with the knowledge and understanding necessary to gain confidence, access training, secure job interviews and enter employment, working closely with:

Of the 64 people who accessed the Recovery Academy in its first year, 37 (64%) went on to either gain employment, secure a volunteer role and/or enrol onto an education course including, for example, Level 2 Dog Grooming, Level 3 Countryside Conservation & Environmental Management.

Social Enterprise - Langan's Tea Rooms, Burton-on-Trent

Many members of the Recovery Academy donated their time as volunteers at Langan's Tea Rooms. The Tea Rooms trade as a Social Enterprise where volunteers gain valuable skills and 'give back' in providing service(s) to our community in person. Their day-to-day contribution there is considerable and undoubtedly helped it to achieve its' Good Food Award (Gold Seal) status again (for the third consecutive year).

Locality Deal Fund (Cannock Chase District Council)

Page 4

The O'Connor Gateway Trust

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st March 2023

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Council received Locality Fund Deal monies from the Staffordshire Commissioner and allocated proportions of this money to chosen service providers who help to support local Community Safety priorities. The Trust received £6,000 (12 months) funding to part fund the provision of a senior floating support worker. This worker provides support to the Trust's graduates living in three Recovery Houses (at Cannock, Stoke and Burton). This enables them to develop and enhance independent living skills and reintegrate back into the community, following an abstinence-based rehabilitation programme from alcohol and substance misuse.

Stoke Recovery Service

The Trust formed a partnership with We Are With You (formerly Addaction) and originally won the tender to deliver a recovery service within Stoke-on-Trent (SRS). The project started in November 2015. When the contract for this service was re-commissioned, the Trust was successful, alongside its partners BAC, We Are With You and the North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare Trust, in being awarded the contract for five years from January 2019 with an option to extend for a further two years.

We employ a Recovery Co-ordinator and two qualified psychotherapists. The service supports people who are in abstinent recovery after engagement with the Stoke on Trent Community Drug and Alcohol Service. The service has continued to grow and provides a range of activities to those who are abstinent in the Community to help and support them in engaging with the wider community and in developing their recovery capital, these include:

The SRS project also supports individuals to secure employment opportunities and supports individuals to access secure and stable accommodation which is vital for sustained recovery.

Earlier this year, Stoke-on-Trent City Council opened the tender process for a new CDAS (Community Drug and Alcohol Service) contract to start from 1 April 2024, running until 31 March 2029, which incorporated the Stoke Recovery Service (managed by the Trust).

The Contract was won by BAC O'Connor in partnership with WithYou and will continue to provide support to many adults and young people living across Stoke-on-Trent. BAC O'Connor delivered the service with North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust (NSCHT) and WithYou. From 1 April 2024, BAC O'Connor will operate the whole service in partnership with WithYou, which includes a sub-contracted Stoke Recovery Service relationship with the O'Connor Trust and build on the foundation we created together for local communities. The total contact includes access and engagement, criminal justice, recovery, young people and families, IPS, rough sleepers' services, detox, rehab and clinical services.

Public benefit

The O'Connor Gateway Trust has continued to assist those who desire to, to receive work experience, training and life skills through employment and voluntary work placements at the Tea Rooms. Langan's Tea Rooms provide further public benefit in that they create an extra step of the rehabilitating back into society process. This creates a public benefit to not only those clients being rehabilitated, but to their future employers and members of the public visiting the tea rooms.

Volunteers

The Trust is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in service provisions and fund raising. It is estimated that over 18,408 (2022: 16,952) volunteer hours were provided during the year. If this is conservatively valued at £11.11 an hour, then the volunteer efforts amount to over £204,513 (2022 £151,042). The Trust has volunteer co-ordinators to ensure that the best value is derived from the sterling efforts of its volunteers.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The O'Connor Gateway Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
