REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 31 December 2021, which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a Directors’ Report and Companies Act purposes.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

BACKGROUND, PURPOSE & ACTIVITIES

Urban Devotion Birmingham (UDB) was formed in 2003 when one family moved into the Perry Common estate and began serving the local neighbourhood alongside a group of young people. Over a decade later UDB continue to work on the streets, in schools and in drop in clubs, focussing on a relational approach to help serve the process of transformation in some of North Birmingham’s most deprived communities.

One of UDB key objectives is to:

“To demonstrate primarily (but not exclusively) in the city of Birmingham and the surrounding area the truth, effectiveness and authenticity of the gospel of Jesus Christ”

(from Urban Devotion Birmingham’s Memorandum & Articles of Association)

“We fulfil our charitable aims through a range of structured and unstructured activities that allow us to build relationships with children, young people and their families to help invest in their self esteem, aspirations and resilience. We work across 4 geographical areas, each focusing on one or more housing estates, as well as working in local primary and secondary schools. We seek to address the causes and effects of poverty and to support those we work with to make a positive difference in serving their own neighbourhoods. We do this in partnership with other local groups and organisations and from a foundation of prayerfulness and dependence on Jesus” Andy Winmill, Director

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE & GOVERNANCE

The organisation is led by the Board of Trustees, which oversees and monitors the work of UDB and makes decisions on over-arching issues such as vision, long-term strategy and agreement of the budget in conjunction with the Leadership Team.

The day-to-day running of UDB is delegated to the Director and Associate Director who form the Leadership Team.

Representatives of the Leadership Team meet with the Board of Trustees 6 times per year, ensuring a strong connection between finance, governance, strategy and day-to-day management. Members of the Board supervise the Director and Associate Director in their roles. The Director and Associate Director in turn provide coaching and supervision to the rest of the staff team.

Recruitment, Appointment, Induction & Training of Management Committee

The Board Directors of the company are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as Company Members.

Since company members are also appointed as Board Directors the Board ensures that it considers potential contributions to the skills mix and the balance of the Board as a whole when making new appointments. Trustees are recruited by word of mouth and by direct approach to people who possess relevant skills and support the values of the Project.

New Trustees are inducted with the Charity and the context within which it operates, including:

As part of an ongoing recognition of the need to maintain quality standards throughout the Charity we are committed to source and recommend training for the Trustees to develop their understanding and abilities as Trustees.

Risk Management

The Board has conducted a review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed. A risk register has been established and is updated at least biannually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the Charity faces.

Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors in the midst of all activities we are engaged in. These procedures are biannually reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the Charity.

Employees

Over the course of 2021 UDB employed 12 people along with 2 sessional employees. 2 new contracted team members were recruited during the autumn and other team members had their allotted hours increased through the year. UDB began the year with a full-time equivalency of 7.93 and ended the year with a full-time equivalency of 9.7.

Volunteers

UDB continues to be a volunteer-centric organisation. The diversification of activities throughout the pandemic has enabled a wider cross-section of volunteers to be recruited. 2021 saw older volunteers who served in food production and delivery, transition into more conventional drop-in club roles, gaining confidence as they did so.

Through 2021 42 volunteers contributed a recorded 1547.75 hours of volunteering that carries a monetary value of over £15,000 if charged at Living Wage Foundation rates.

This figure does not capture the scale of volunteering effort behind UDB with many team members giving above and beyond and other volunteers performing ad hoc tasks that make a significant difference. UDB also increasingly works in partnership with other organisations whose own volunteers contribute to this collaboration.

OBJECTIVES REVIEW

UDB began 2021 with a set of 6 priority themes that informed individual objectives for the project team. Whereas 2020 plans were hijacked by the pandemic, the 2021 plan anticipated a degree of disruption if not the full extent that was experienced. The team continued to adapt to the changing circumstances in order to best serve local people and UDB’s priority neighbourhoods.

1. Grow Secondary School Project 2. Reimagine Primary School Project During 2020 UDB worked extensively with one local UDB worked to strengthen the bridge between secondary school and expanded over the course of 2021 presence in-school and community-based activities and to work with two more.

After consulting with staff, Trustees and addressing this and over the course of the year partner organisations UDB altered it’s leadership generated ideas and activities that have had a positive structure by disbanding a tier of leadership. Year end impact this has been heightened by the pandemic surveys showed the positive on the project as a whole Wellbeing Days and most individuals.

FINANCIAL REVIEW & PRINCIPAL FUNDING SOURCES

The Trustees are delighted with the financial performance of UDB through 2021, continuing to adapt to the complex challenges posed by the pandemic whilst increasing the financial health of the organisation. UDB achieved a healthy surplus through effective financial management, successful grant writing and the incredible generosity of individuals and organisations.

Grant income remained stable with a slight decrease to £122,139 from £123,995. This is particularly as the project was less reliant on the one-off COVID-19 relief funds that were present in 2020. Of note are a large unrestricted multi-year fund that provides stability for both 2022 and 2023 and an increase in partnership bids with partner organisations.

The Trustees are particularly encouraged by the increase in income from charitable activities.

The Trustees would like to place on record their sincere thanks to individual supporters, organisations and grant making trusts for their confidence, commitment and generosity in supporting the charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Investment Policy

Trustees seek to retain a prudent amount in reserves each year and due to success in building up a healthy level of reserves the Trustees opted to open a 100 day notice savings account to benefit from some level of interest. The majority of the Charity’s funds, though, are to be spent in the short term and should additional funds become available we will review appropriate investment policies.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have set a minimum reserves policy of the equivalent of 6 month’s core budget from unrestricted funds.

PLANS FOR 2022

UDB’s approach for 2022 is geared around the following four themes:

1. Upskill & Expand Volunteer Workforce…

2. Establish 6[th] Neighbourhood Project in Erdington Central…

3. Purchase & Kit Out New Mobile Youth Venue...

4. Increase UDB’s Influence Across Church & Community Sector…

TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The Company Members are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Urban Devotion Birmingham ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW & ACCA which is one of the listed bodies.

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)).
