HOUSING INITIATIVES (U.K.) LTD COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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
Housing Initiatives (UK) Limited was founded in 2001, as a not for profit company. The aim of Housing Initiatives (UK) Limited is to provide supported housing to people with learning disabilities and other vulnerable people in the Greater Merseyside area.
The trustees in accordance with Section 4 of the 2006 Charities Act have taken due regard of the public benefit and acted accordingly.
Achievements and performance
Throughout the period Housing Initiatives held mandatory and non-mandatory accreditations and licenses via the Local Authorities which regulated the high standards of the properties. Bearing in mind the impact that Covid-19 had on contractors/ visitors entering the properties from March 2020 onwards, the charity continued to carry out essential maintenance in line with government guidelines. Over the period the charity have maintained a consistent level of high quality housing. This enables our tenants, who are vulnerable and have learning disabilities, to continue to live more independent lives with the provision of support.
Many of our tenants have been with us for over 5 years, and some for over 9 years. This has impacted their lives and has had a stabilising effect with fewer disruptions. There has also been a decrease in disruptive behaviour and tenants are integrating with the local community. This is leading to an improvement in social skills and health and wellbeing.
At the start of the period there was 2 x voids in St Edmonds Road. The charity have been working in partnership with a number of external agencies, we had a number of referrals over the course of the year with the property being full at one stage. At the end of the period the charity had four out of five voids filled with referrals lined up to fill the remaining one. There were 2 voids in Hougoumont Rd, the charity is working with the support agency managing the property to fill the 2 remaining voids.
Housing Initiatives had their largest project at Gainford Road de-commissioned by Liverpool City Council resulting in a total of 8 x voids. Housing Initiatives started working in partnership with Veterans HQ to re-house veterans with learning and mental health issues with the support coming in from Veterans HQ. Referrals came in from Veterans HQ and once the first referrals applications were being produced, LCC had issues with the claims and decided not to grant exempt accommodation rule through Housing Benefit and advised the charity to claim the rent from Universal Credit. An appeal was put in and the charity as well as Veterans HQ are waiting for the outcome.
Financial review
The charity does not receive any grant support towards the provision of accommodation, obtaining mortgages for properties and receiving rental income from tenants. However the charity will continue to seek general unrestricted funds to further the charity reserves and develop the infrastructure of the charity.
Management reports are produced and are reviewed by the board at each board meeting to ensure that the charity properly manages the funds available.
Over the 12 month period (October 2020 - September 2021) the rental income has fluctuated due to the de-commissioning of services in the prior year and the filling of voids.
As of September 2021, voids are as follows:
-
Gainford Road – 5 x voids
-
Hougoumont Grove – 2 x voids (Out of Housing Initiatives control due to the nature of the tenants currently residing and layout of property)
-
St Edmonds Road – 2 x voids

Reserves policy
The funding policy of the charity is to maintain within unrestricted funds at least 2 months' running costs to ensure that it can continue to meet its obligations. The trustees are of the opinion that cash-flow is sufficient to continue the on-going work of the charity. The value of the properties have increased due to a rise in housing demand with an estimated value of £1.5 million. The charity will seek to get up-to-date RICS valuations for all its properties.
Investment policy
The charity's investment policy currently is to hold any surplus reserves at the bank.

The board of trustees has carried out risk assessment and aim to lessen the risks to the charity as far as possible.

The trustees, who are also the directors of Housing Initiatives (UK) Limited for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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 financial statements 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).

HOUSING INITIATIVES (U.K.) LTD COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Housing Initiatives (U.K.) Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 151 Stanley Road, Bootle, Liverpool, Merseyside, L20 3DL.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold and leasehold properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
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 item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

1.5
Expenditure
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries.
Governance costs represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the independent examination.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Freehold property | 2% per annum straight line |
|---|---|
| Long Leasehold property | 2% per annum straight line |
| Fixtures, fittings & equipment | 30% per annum straight line |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
- 10 -
HOUSING INITIATIVES (U.K.) LTD COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
- 1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans 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. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12 Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
1.13 Gains and losses
Gains and losses on disposal or revaluation of assets are charged or credited to the SOFA at the date on disposal or revaluation.
1.14 Taxation
The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income and gains falling within those exemptions.
The charity is not able to recover Value Added Tax. Expenditure is recorded in the accounts inclusive of VAT.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
