A number of new trustees, following vacancies ]sIng. l. Board & Chief oificer Changes - all three cbarities In Sq)temb¢r 2021 our Chief Officer, Andrew Waites, resigned to pursu¢ other opportunities. and we were delighted to appoint Rebecca Blues as a new Chief Officer, at the beginning of November 2021. For various unrelated reasons the chariws then Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer resigmed at the 2021 Annual General Meeting on 19 October 2021. Other trustees have also resigned during the year due to external pressures preventing them from devoting time to the needs of the charity. Since that dat¢. under the new chairnianship of Graham Mitchell and together with Rebecca Blues as Chief Officer. new and remaining tnLSt¢¢s have all be¢n taking an active role in the work of the charities. Th¢ current trustees collectively bring energy, commitment and a diverse skill set, of which the charity is tsking full advantage. Detailed work on organisational structures, resilience, branding. messaging, financial procedwes, specific operational projects and staffing are all in train, with different trustees in working groups with colleagues and staff to take the charities as a whole forward to a stronger. brighter future. There is a real driv¢ to meet the needs of the people w¢ 5crv¢. improve efficiencies, and stsff welfare. Each work PTogramme has been given recognisable milestones and timetables for completion" all the current projects should be completed during calendar year 2023. 2. Sustainability - York The charity s¢¢ks to operdte in as sustainable a way as its resources allow. Working practices have been reviewed to improve efficiency and minimise resource usage.
COMMur FUR STORE (YORK) LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEARENDED 31 MARCH 2022 The amount of carbon saved by Tcusing goods is estitnatcd to be 224 tonnes. However, in our operdtions we necessarily create carbon ¢missions. Diesel van usage is controlled by making sure that collections and deliveries are organised in the most efficacious way. Vehicles are regularly maintsined and driving habits are monitored via online tracking systems that record driver behaviour. We will move to electric or hybrid v¢hicles as soon as possible. Our premises are rented and it is not possible to make Physic changes to them, unless the landlord so wishes. so electricity usage is higher than we would like, despite changing to LED lighting three years ago. Our two warehouses are large and take a great deal of heating to maintain staff and customer comfort. Consideration has b¢¢n given to various usage reduction measures and we will continue lo seek ways to r¢du¢¢ our climate impact. Financially. to be sustainable we rely on a high level of sales of goods and some grant funding for special projects. We would ideally like to purchase suitable freehold premises to improve financial sustainability by, reducing significant outgoings on Tents, etc. The cost of freehold property in City of York is, however, prohibitive and likely to remain so. The charity has demonstrated rcsilicncc, surviving fmancially and has started 2022123 operations with a reasonable fanCIaL outlook Our res¢rves are low against the target we set ourselves. but through sustsined fo¢sed efforts we have been success] in achieving significant grant income, maintaining and growing our trading activitie5. The charity is considered a "going concern" by the trthstees. 3. Organlsatlonal cbange5- all three cbarities The 2021122 year seen extremely signifiw]t Changes in stsffing and organisational structure, against a background of operational difficulties arising from the recovery from the Covid pandemic. which restricted opening hours and capacity to work safely. It also affected trading income and activities in a way which represent¢d an existential threat. Our new Chief Officer quickly identified ongoing issues that meant that the charity was not functioning as well as it could and the trustees agreed to a sraffing restNcture, which regrettably included some voluntary redundancies. The Chief Officer, who leads the three Community Furniture Store charities in YorL Selby and Scarborough is supported by a 11 time Group Operdtions Manager and part- time Head of Projects. Marketing & Administration Assistant and a Group Finance Manager, all of whom work to support the three charitics. Th¢ York chariws staff is led by an Operations Manager managing the collection and delivery service as well as the warehouse and retail outlet.

Re-use v Recycling It is important to stress the sItiOn of reuse compared to recycling and other waste management systems when estimating the impact on the environment. The "waste hierarchy" ranks waste management options according to what is best for the environrnent. It gives top priority to prèventing waste in the first place. When waste is crcate(L it gives priority to preparing it for rc-. then recycling. then recovery, and last of all disposal. Most Preferred Prevention Re-use Recycling .Aecovery Least Preferred isposa City of YorkParln¢Yship We are eThorn]ously proud that throughout the pandemic we were able to maintain the services that we provide lo City of York Council through the York Financial Assistance Scheme {YFAS) which we prioritise because it benefits those in our community who are most in need. We are grateful to the City of York Council for its continued support of the Community Furniture Store in rnany ways. but particularly tlJr()ugh the YFAS scheme. As the Council's Prefeed partner, we have supplied goods to 346 households, not just in poverty, but in despe¢ need of urgent help. Beneficiaries of the scheme are identified by the council and refeed to us confidentially. The recipient's shopping experience is identical to that of any person coming into the str)re.' they are welcomed and provided with choice. Really urgent matt¢rs are dealt with on the same day.

We also recognized the needs of refugccs and other migrants who do not qualify for means tested benefits strdight away and included those referred to us by relevant agencies in the discount scheme. One customer who received a grant for furniture through the York Financial Assistance Scheme said the following- °A brilliant community resource. selling high-quality second-hand goods at an excellent price. I want to. especially thank the drivers who delivered my goods this afternoon. in the heat and up and many steps. They truly went the extra mile in lifting heavy goods up to my flat and taking an old washing machine down again. All done with such kindness and humility." As part of our York Financial Assistance Scheme role, we have provided furniture and white goods to refugees fleeing conflitt in Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria. A member of the City of York Council Vulnerable Persons Resettlement team highlighted the followin8 impact of our work: "Yesterday I was making a house readyto make the house somebod$ home. As you are aw3re, we have a tight budget we have to work to for furnishing a property ready for a refugee family to move into it. This includes beds. sofa, wardrobe and washing machines. We wouldn't be able to do it without the furniture from CFS. Thanks to the work that you do, we have been able to provide people fleeing war and conflict a safe home."
Environmenlal Impacl In total the estimated weighi of all reused goods prevented from being declared waste and destroyed amounted to 222 tonnes. This equates to saving 224 tonnes of carbon emissioos. (G)Finan¢ial Review - York Total income from charitable activities in 2021122 was £561.126, an increase of over £150,000 on the previous Covid impacted year, and is comparable to pre-covid trading which generated £526,832 in 2018119. a 60/0 increase.

Com)UNITy FURNrruRE STORE (YORX) LTD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES . FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 Total expenditure was £630.470 compared to £577,378 ID 2020121 and exceeded th¢ budget forecast of £600.257. The incr¢ Teflects the introduction of the rr Project. (£33,167) which is supported by grant fiujding and significantly increased employTnent costs following the Government led increase in National Living Wage. As such the outtLlll] for the year was a small deficit of £6.851. It is relevant to note that the supply and cost of new goods purchascd proved challenging as a result of blockages in the supply chain. The priorities for 2022123 will be to consolidate the revised staffing structure and take advantsge of the elTiciencies it will produce. and d¢velop online sales. We will also secwe funding to sustain the IT Reuse project and other projects that the trustees are actively working towards. Alongside this, increasing Gift Aid income, Careful control of expenditure and the rebuilding of cash reserves (see below) will all have higb importance. (H)Reserves Policy- York The governing board has developed a policy to hold unrestricted fun&$ not invested in fixed assets of between three and six months of budg¢t¢d ov¢rhead expenditure excluding exceptional items. Budgeted overhead expenditure for the year ending 31 March 2022 was agreed at £393,482 in FebNary 2021. Net cutrent assets at 31 March 2022 total £74,948, a small increase from the 2021 year end figure of £71,179. This is well below the target rninimum of £99,260. As such the recovery of cash reserves remains a high priority. Community Furniture Store (York) greatly values the continuing sUPPOrt of donots of reusable goods, customers, funders. and of the City of York Council and many oth local organisations. (I) IT Re-use Project major success for the charity in York during the year ha5 been the fijrther establishment of our project to take in donated laptops, mobile phones, etc, to repair and securely wipe them of all dat4 and then to make them available to those most in ne¢d. The project leader" Tom Meares, has worked very successfvlly with other local voluntary organisations and cooteS as well as the City Council, to establish, publicise and manage the project so that it eDd¢d the 2021122 year in a very healthy state. We have been able to assisL for example, young people living in care, pensioners unable to communicate with family and friends and many of the refugees who have come to our City of Sanctt]ary.
