**MULBERRY COMMUNITY PROJECTS (BLACKPOOL) (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06227737) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 29TH APRIL 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 29th April 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity's objects and main principal activity is:
(a) the relief of persons having an addiction to drugs, alcohol or other noxious substances by the provision of spiritual guidance, care and counselling;
(b) the advancement of public education concerning addictions and approaches and care by the publication of literature, the holding of conferences and seminars and such other means as are required to disseminate the relevant information;
(c) such other purposes charitable according to the law of England and Wales as will benefit the community in the Blackpool area.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The past 12 months have been trying for not just Mulberry but for all. The country has had to cope with the effect and after effect of the Covid virus which has had a poor effect on everyone. We went through the same problems of staff having to have time off due to sickness however in fairness to them we struggled through and we covered for each other and we felt that it did not detract from the support and supervision that we provide for our residents. Our residents were also affected by the covid epidemic however the peer support came though and they looked after each other very well and showed the strength of peer support that we try to engender in all our residents.
During this time period Mulberry had to undergo an inspection by Blackpool Council regarding questions about Supported Housing and qualifications for claiming Exempt Accommodation status. All Supported Housing in Blackpool had to undergo the same inspection. Blackpool Council officials came and interviewed staff and residents. They and (LFRC) Lancashire Fire and Rescue went around our houses to inspect them to ensure that the houses were within regulations.
We received a report from LFRC regarding the fire regs in the houses which we took on board and we started doing the work recommended with fitting Fire Doors, Fire Systems etc. It was very costly however we were happy to carry out the work to comply with the LFRC recommendations.
We went to a meeting with council officials regarding to support that we give our residents and we received a glowing report for the time, effort and expertise that we give our clients with their recovery. We had the feeling that we set the standard that others should reach.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
On a financial basis we were still in receipt of the grant that we received from the Lottery and this was a tremendous help when it came to carrying out the work on the houses suggested by the LFRC and without that we would have been struggling. There was obvious normal repair and refurbishment carried out on the houses which all adds to our costing. For instance one of the houses over 12 months we spent £7290 in repairs and maintenance however it was work that had to be done and I consider the money had to be spent to maintain the standard that Mulberry has. In other houses we spent money on part of a roof repair with some help from Green Pastures and we put in a new kitchen at another of our houses.
Because of the Lottery and other grants we feel that although we have spent a lot of money to comply with building regulations and carrying out a lot of refurbishment we have ended the year in a sound financial position and look forward to another year of providing recovery to our client base.
As is normal for Mulberry we received over 100 referrals for people wanting to come into Mulberry. Around 50% of those are not suitable for us and we then try to take in as many of the other 50% as we can. Some people unfortunately fail to maintain their recovery and may only last a few days or weeks however a lot of them go on to achieve their abstinence and then leave through moving on to independent living, working or education. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff for the amazing work they put in, to the Trustees for allowing us as a unit to get on with the work that Mulberry is set up to do and to our many successful residents who place their trust in Mulberry and who leave us to contribute back into society.
## **Principal funding sources**
The charity is funded mainly by housing benefit paid in respect of the beneficiaries.
## **Investment policy and objectives**
The Charity's powers of investment are governed by its deed of trust.
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at a level which equate to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. The unrestricted expenditure for 6 months in this year was £73,605 (2021: £105,675).
The charity has unrestricted reserves of £68,268 (2021: £39,041). Although the target is not met the trustees are hopeful that income will improve in future to attain this level. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed annually.
## **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.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
Trustees are appointed according to the memorandum and articles of association.
## **Key management remuneration**
The total remuneration paid to the three key employees responsible for carrying out the day to day activities of the charity in the year amounted to £57,880 (2021: £53,219).
## **Public benefit**
When planning the activities for the year, the trustees have considered the commissions guidance on public benefit and in particular the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MULBERRY COMMUNITY PROJECTS (BLACKPOOL)**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Mulberry Community Projects (Blackpool) ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 29th April 2022.
## **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 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)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
