Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] December 2022

The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) and the Companies Act 2006.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's objects and principal activities as set out in its memorandum and articles of association continue to be:

The charity's aims are:

The main objects are the relief of poverty amongst individuals and families in East Surrey by collecting as much donated furniture as possible, carrying out cleaning, minor repairs and where appropriate PAT testing, before delivering it to those having a genuine need; also selling items at discount to individuals and families with proven need and selling to the wider public in order to finance the operations. Further objectives are to reduce the volume of waste going to landfill and to provide training and development opportunities to volunteers and staff.

Public benefit

As stated above, the charity's primary objective is the provision of furniture to economically and/or socially disadvantaged people in the East Surrey area.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Nature of the governing document and constitution of the charity

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. Eligibility for membership of the charity and membership of the board of trustees is governed by the memorandum and articles of association.

Report of the Trustees

for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 continued

Subject to satisfactory interview and references, and accepting the responsibilities as defined in the Charity Commission guidelines on the responsibilities of charity trustees, the new member is voted onto the board.

Trustees are appointed on a three-year term, when they may step down or seek re-election.

Organisational structure

The paid manager, Neil Coughlan has operational responsibility for all aspects of running the work of Furnistore, under the direction of the board of trustees. The board meets regularly with the manager in attendance to monitor and facilitate the work of the charity, approve actions and plan for the development of the work. The manager meets with the Chairman of the board a week before each of the monthly board meetings to ensure that issues are discussed, and decisions taken when appropriate.

The work of the charity is carried out by both paid staff and volunteers. The manager role includes:

The trustees are grateful to all our wonderful volunteers who assist the manager with the above. Without our volunteers, Furnistore could not operate.

Membership of a wider network

The charity is a founder member of Surrey Re-use Network. It enjoys good relationships with the local councils and housing agencies and the many agencies working with some of the neediest families and individuals in the East Surrey area.

FURNISTORE IN 2022

The need for our service

Furnistore has been in operation for 27 years and during this time South East Surrey has been quoted many times as one of the best places to live in the UK. However, throughout this time the amount of deprivation and people finding themselves “in need” has changed very little and the need for our service remains. People hitting rock bottom, in absolute poverty are to this day our key clients.

In 2022 we helped in excess of 60 families from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria, and Albania, in some cases with the entire contents of a home. Following every major conflict around the world, refugees and asylum seekers who have left everything that they own behind find their way to Furnistore and we are proud to be able to support them.

Details of significant activities (including its main programmes, projects and services provided) that contribute to the achievement of the stated objectives

One of our most important activities in 2022 has been to help Ukrainian refugees. We had families hosting Ukrainian refugees coming in to purchase items across 2022, our manager Neil Coughlan used discretion to provide discounts or items free of charge from the charity’s own reserves in these exceptional circumstances. When unable to provide items free of charge, we gave a 50% discount. The tears and hugs of appreciation cut across any language barrier. We are proud to be able to help people when they need it most."

Here are some more words from our manager Neil Coughlan that illustrates the wonderful work we do:

“The team were often touched by the gratitude they receive from a wide spectrum of families that received free furniture from Furnistore. For example, people housed due to homelessness, ex-servicemen, patients in hospital, the traveller community, parents-to-be, foster carers, families struggling to pay private rentals and victims fleeing domestic abuse.”

“One particular family having arrived from the Philippines said they spent the weekend praying for a miracle and having found Furnistore have constantly told us since, we were that miracle. Their kind words and reaction to our help had many of our volunteers in tears.”

Some facts and figures that illustrate how we’ve met our objectives are provided in the ‘Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year’ section below.

Many households were assessed and qualified for free of charge provision of basic essentials to the value of £17,189.

We’ve delivered primarily to the 3 local areas stated in our objectives (97% of 50% sales / 88% normal sales). We’ve also gone above and beyond by delivering 50% sales to 4 other districts. The below chart shows the main areas and other districts we’ve supported:

Contribution of volunteers

The charity relies heavily on its wonderful volunteer workforce and continues to offer volunteering opportunities and training to the long term unemployed, ex-offenders and people with support needs, as well as volunteers from the wider community.

We also work with VARB, Richmond Fellowship, Job Centre, local colleges, the Probation Service, Surrey Choices and Transform Housing to assist with recruiting volunteers.

We are delighted that three volunteers have moved on into paid employment during this period.

We’re extremely proud of our volunteers and were very happy when they won the Mayor’s Team Award in 2022, a fantastic achievement and wonderful that they receive the recognition they deserve. We could not complete the great work that we do without them having completed 4,150 hours for us in 2022.

The charity has a governing board of 7 trustees (all of whom are volunteers) and was supported by a total of 41 operational volunteers over the year, some of whom are on training schemes, and some of whom require special support. The volunteers have benefitted from a basic induction, on-the-job training and a manual handling video and briefing.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Local Affiliates

Furnistore works closely with a wide variety of organisations in the area who refer people to us. Anyone on benefits will receive 50% discounted furniture, individual circumstances are also considered.

The organisations Furnistore worked closely with in 2022 are: Reigate & Banstead Housing Team, I Choose Freedom (formerly known as Reigate & Banstead Womens’ Aid), Welcare, YMCA, CAB (Citizens Advice Bureau) from all over East Surrey, various local churches and local schools, Raven Housing Trust, Tandridge Council, Mole Valley Council, Clarion Housing Trust, Refugee Team at Reigate & Banstead, East Surrey Outreach Service, ESDAS, Transform Housing, Mayors Trust Fund, Parashoot, the Red Cross, East Surrey Hospital, Surrey County Council (various teams including Safeguarding team, Disability team and Homeless team, etc).

We also work hand in hand with Merstham Hub, various food banks including Loveworks, Stripey Stork, Age Concern, Renewed Hope Trust and many others by helping to send those in need to the right place so they receive the best support for their situation.

Significant changes and development plans for the future

Our ongoing plans are to reach more of the people who most need our help. By their very nature those in most need are often hard to reach, therefore we are committed to improving our profile and communications with the huge variety of agencies and organisations who refer people to us.

We will achieve this by growing and improving our marketing reach, social media and by making personal visits to the relevant referral organisations. To further support this, in November 2022 the board of trustees changed their roles, Freda Clark stepped down as Company Secretary so that she could spend more time nurturing relationships with local organisations to reach more of the people that need our help.

To help us better serve our clients the board will consider taking on additional storage space, this will enable a buffer stock for emergencies and periods of high demand.

Financial Review

At the start of 2022 our main source of income was from warehouse sales made possible by the generous support of public donations of their pre-loved furniture.

Some revenue funding came from donations for collections, Gift Aid and Landfill tax credits, delivery charges, and gifts from Friends of Furnistore.

Our clients benefitted from grants made by John Beane’s Charity.

During the year the charity’s total expenditure amounted to £105,153 .

At the 31[st of] December 2022, the charity had total funds of £359,465 (2021-£307,072) of which unrestricted funds amounted to £352,503 (2021 £295,354) and restricted funds £6,962 (2021 £11,718), which the trustees consider to be satisfactory.

Full price sales by area:

The major risks to which the charity is exposed and review of systems to mitigate risks

Risk factors to the sales-generated income would arise if incoming donations of furniture and household goods of adequate quality and quantity were to greatly reduce, or if the general public were to reduce their willingness to buy second hand items; risk factors to the charitable income from Friends, Churches and referrals would arise should there be no more poverty in East Surrey, in which case this income would be withdrawn and the charity would need to reconsider its objectives.

High-Street second-hand furniture shops as charity fund raisers impact on our sales and collections.

The staff and volunteers are given the appropriate Manual Handling training, policies and procedures are in place to mitigate against risk of injury to staff and volunteers. Where necessary, advice on employment matters is sourced from a local HR expert or from ACAS.

Difficulties recruiting volunteers and the loss of key staff would pose a significant threat. We are fortunate to have a loyal and committed core staff team, and the day-to-day running could be managed by several of the existing team, as happens during holidays and sickness.

The loss of the Chairman of the Board or our manager Neil Coughlan would both be difficult, as they have the greatest responsibility for developing and delivering the strategy, liaising with partner organisations and overseeing the business. The key retaining strategy is good supervision and support for the manager, and high-level input and follow-up on actions to support the Chair. To mitigate against these risks, Furnistore maintain policies and procedures so that any new manager or Chairperson will have a guide to follow to complete key tasks. In addition, trustees and other experienced staff are well placed to offer support.

Report of the Trustees

for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 continued

The charity has limited financial risk. We maintain a very low mortgage loan; this is kept so that we have the ability to help more people in the future should we find a better suited premises and we need to obtain a higher mortgage for a new premises. The reserve policy is set to cover revenue costs.

Grant Making

The charity does not give monetary grants, however Furnistore provide goods in kind. More details have been provided in the section named ‘Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year’ above.

Reserve Policy

The Trustees consider that reserves should be held in case of a reduction in income, or indeed a complete absence of income, so that vital costs, especially staff salaries, can be paid, if necessary, for at least three months. Also, the Trustees, as part of their target of reducing carbon footprint, will wish to replace the existing vehicle with one more environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the Trustees are seeking more suitable premises, with an improved location, to better serve those in need of our services. Therefore, they wish to hold sufficient reserves for the likely related costs, as and when such premises are found. The Trustees consider that the funds actually held are sufficient to cover the above requirements.

Share Capital

The company is limited by guarantee and therefore has no share capital.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that have been designated by the trustees for a particular purpose.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Deferred income

Grants receivable which relate to a specific time period, are recognised evenly over the relevant period. Other grants receivable are recognised when the charity becomes entitled to the relevant amounts. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and are shown as creditors.

Capital Grants

The board of trustees consider that any gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature given for a specific purpose and fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the charity should be credited to restricted income in the year received. When the fixed assets are purchased with donor grants, the capital expenditure is charged to the donor fund and transferred to the capital grants fund. The value of the capital grants fund represents the net book value of donor funded assets.
