Board of Trustees’ report

1.1 Objectives and Activities & Achievements and Performance

Objectives

Our vision is a more connected society where we all choose a crime-free life. Our mission is to enable people with experience of the criminal justice system to live flourishing lives.

Only Connect works with Londoners aged 16 and over who are either serving custodial sentences, or who have concluded their sentence and are looking to grow new skills and rebuild their confidence.

Review of activities

Our performance has been good, although we want to see more people find jobs. We have worked with 377 people (5 women and 365 men); this compares with 340 last year. Of these, 295 engaged (defined as doing more than one session (78%). In general, people over 25 have a slightly higher engagement level (80%) compared to under 25s at 77%.

Of the engaged people, our outcomes were: jobs 22% and education and training 19%. These are good results, but we want to improve and so we have developed a new model of working.

The model has three elements: about 8 weeks before release we run a two day course about relationships called Love & Money. Then, for the following 8 weeks we provide weekly one-to-one keyworking. We finish just before release with another two day course on job search and job retention called On Point.

We have now run Love & Money five times. It appears to be working very well – the prisoners enjoy it, and it seems to be making an impact on their relationships. The money element seems to be particularly popular as the participants have been wanting to do more of the “technicalities” e.g. types of loans.

On Point has been totally rewritten and is currently being tested. We have run it once at Pentonville and plan to run it monthly at both Pentonville and Wormwood Scrubs.

We have recruited and trained some volunteers to help run the courses, as they are quite demanding on staff time.

Our next steps are:

The music project has worked with 47 members. We primarily offer training courses, but for some participants, these are not possible because of the risk of gang clashes, and so, for them, we offer some one-to-one sessions. We ran a superb Showcase, allowing some of the participants to present their work in November 2021.

Risks

The most substantial risk the charity faces is from the building. One of the trustees of our landlord (another charity) has recently died, and we are unsure whether the landlord will want to retain the building.

The second risk is building users clashing. There are now three criminal justice charities using the building. Each brings in clients, and Only Connect has to assess the risk of clashes between participants belonging to antagonistic gangs.

4

The third risk is key staff leaving. We are very dependent on the managers, each of whom provides considerable expertise. It is hard to mitigate this risk.

Fourth, the competition is quite intense in prisons. There are several good ETE prison charities all competing for referrals. Additionally, prisons are suffering from a huge backlog partly as a result of COVID and also of the barristers’ strike, and we face considerable competition in the community from a large company, Maximus, having a contract with probation to provide employment advice.

Lastly, we are in the final year of CFO3. This will mean a loss of nearly £100,000 per annum once the contract ends. We may become increasingly reliant on fundraising in 2023-24 and this will raise the possibility of failing to generate sufficient income.

Financial Overview

Income and Expenditure

We have finished the year (to 31 Aug) with a surplus of £57,902 (£26,000). This is satisfactory: it mainly is a result of the strong results from the building (a surplus of £16,000), compared to the previous year’s loss of £71,000. This surplus was achieved despite facing low numbers of people renting desk space in the Autumn of 2021 because of COVID.

We have three main sources of income: rental from letting space (£193,200), statutory contracts (£125,500) and donations from trusts and individuals (£219,223). We are particularly grateful to the following trusts for their support:

29 May 1961 Ashcroft Basketmakers City of London Solicitors Company Field Family Trust Franklin Highway One Inner London Magistrates

Jean Roberts John Armitage

Marsh Oakdale Paul Stephenson Persula Rhiannon Trust Sheldon Trust Sir James Roll Sir Jules Thorn Souter St Andrew Holborn Tudor Trust

5

Our expenditure was £450,960, a rise of 13% from the previous year. This was caused by a rise in property costs, mainly rent, of 26%, and a rise in payroll of 8%.

Reserves

In the trustees’ view reserves should provide the charity with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. We consider we should have at least 3 months reserves to cover operating costs, or, in the event of closure, sufficient funds to meet all the charity’s obligations, including redundancy (£23,314). The trustees do not consider closure is likely in the coming year.

Our unrestricted reserves were £116,598 (equivalent to 4.7 months) and we have paid back £4,506 of our Bounceback loan. Given the uncertainties we face, as outlined in the Risks section, the trustees consider this level of reserves to be prudent.

Going concern

The trustees have considered the risks facing Only Connect for the coming year. They are confident that OC’s reasonable financial position means that we will be able to weather setbacks and so consider Only Connect is a going concern.

1.2 Structure, governance and management

Formation and structure of the Charity

Only Connect UK was incorporated as a Company Limited by Guarantee on 16 June 2006 and registered as a Charity on 19 September 2006.

Its objectives, as stated in its memorandum of association, are: ‘To advance the education and prospects of prisoners, ex-offenders and young people at risk of crime in London, and their families, through the provision of arts projects and productions, personal development and community activities.

We have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance Public benefit: running a charity (PB2). In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set, taking account of the available guidance on public benefit. The trustees are satisfied that Only Connect’s work should lead to a reduction in offending, and this benefits the public.

Governance

The management of the company is the responsibility of the trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association.

The Trustee board meets at least four times a year and monitors progress against goals and targets that flow from the strategic plan set by the Trustee board.

Day to day management is delegated to the chief executive officer. This is in line with our stated delegations of authority; the Trustee board is involved in all material decisions including but not limited to:

6

Trustees responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

In so far as the trustees are aware:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Financial statements are published on the Charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements, which may vary from legislation in other jurisdictions. The maintenance and integrity of the Charity’s website is the responsibility of the Trustees. The Trustees’ responsibility also extends to the ongoing integrity of the financial statements contained therein.

7

The charitable company qualifies as small under section 383 of The Companies Act 2006 and so no strategic report has been prepared, which is a requirement of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director’s Report) Regulation 2013.

Policies adopted for the induction and training of trustees

All new trustees are taken through a trustee induction process carried out by the Chair of the board and as part of this they are introduced to their responsibilities and the key company policies.

Pay policy for senior staff

Senior management (directors and above) are remunerated in line with sector benchmarks (reviewed annually) and all senior staff appointments, pay and award changes are approved by the board of trustees.

Risk management

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the company is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the company, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to control and mitigate the charitable company’s exposure to the major risks. The major risks facing the charity have been outlined above.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Only Connect UK is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 32 Cubitt Street, London, WC1X 0LR.

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 financial statements are prepared in sterling , which is the functional currency of the charity . Monetary a mounts 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 properties and to include investment 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.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

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.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to the third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure headings.

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and overhead costs that cannot be easily allocated to particular cost centres. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised. Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures and fittings

25% reducing balance

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 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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.

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 p aymen ts 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.

1.9 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.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

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.

Operations – our work with prisoners and released prisoners.

Music – our music provision which includes a 6 week course, 2 day courses and one-to-one support from Tim Titsworth, the Music Co-ordinator.

Relationships – we have written a course, Love & Money, which is designed to strengthen a prisoner’s relationships and tackle their attitudes to money, with a particular focus on the emotional impact of money. We have delivered this course twice in HMP Pentonville and are planning regular courses in prisons once COVID restrictions are lifted.

Young People – about half our Members are under 26. We use this restricted funding to pay for our work in YOI Feltham and keyworking with this age group.

Geographical Restriction – some funding is restricted to particularly areas, such as West London or parts of Camden and Islington.
