and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of all staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the Centre. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the Charity.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic on delivery of services:

In response to Risk Assessment requirements and government directives in response to the Covid-19 pandeniic all group and face-to-face activities were suspended from 19th March 2019. New protocols and additional equipment were put in place to facilitate on-going remote delivery of Domestic Abuse Counselling & Advocacy Services.

Indirect contact (telephone, social media, zoom, etc.) was immediately initiated with all vulnerable people on the charity database, volunteers and local partner agencies to check how they were coping with Covid-19 lock-down restrictions, what arrangements they needed help with and how their needs might best be met going forward. This informed planning and in-direct delivery of activities to meet changed needs. They were altered to take account of vulnerable people's changing circumstances and difficulties.

Who used and benefited from our services?

One of our strategies is to engage with other providers and help them reach their target beneficiaries.This has led us into strong partnerships with Crackers Family Forum, Kingstanding Thursday Club, Imagine (Mental Health Self Help Group), Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-anon, Armstrong Karate, Scouts movement, as well as many others. We offer them good meeting facilities, networks, promotion of their services and inter-agency contacts. In response to Covid-19 pandemic risk assessment requirements we were required to suspend room letting arrangements, which in turn had an impact on the charity's unrestricted earned income.

Through our own network of volunteers, newsletters, website, notice-boards, social media and referrals system and word of mouth, we are able to give our partners access to the people they wish to serve. We have also developed our partnership working approach, and now represented on key strategic boards including Birmingham North Local Community Safety Partnership Board, Birmingham North Domestic Abuse Forum and ‘Spirit of Kingstanding' group.

We remain committed to delivering a range of services and activities which meet local needs. The Community Cafe building provides office facilities for BREATHE Advice & Advocacy and Domestic Abuse Counselling Services - both firmly funded. Other activities delivered by charity volunteers, supported by a small staff team, are delivered from both the Community Cafe and St John's centre . All of these initiatives allow us to meet people who might need direction to another service and to provide stronger community cohesion. There are thousands of people in the Kingstanding Ward who have benefitted from the services through New Heights Charity.

Outreach

The outreach work of the charity provides support to vulnerable adults living in our community. In partnership with the St Vincent De Paul Society and Christ the King Parish approximately 80 people are visited at home, most of these are house-bound due to disability or illness. This service is provided by volunteers. We offer a signposting service to other organisations that can provide help and support.

Financial review

By prudent management and successful bidding for funds, the Charity is in a sound financial position. Kerry Boffin leads the team and deals with the financial issues in partnership with Mike Daly, one of the trustees.

Currently, there are no investments other than buildings with reserves sufficient to meet the current working capital requirements of the charity.

a

NEW HEIGHTS - WARREN FARM COMMUNITY PROJECT TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

While there is a small income from the Cafe, our main source of regular unrestricted income continues to be from service providers who use our premises. This unrestricted income covers our buildings maintenance and running costs, however it has been significantly impacted by suspension of group activities and rental arrangements due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Funding for staff comes from grant making bodies. The fact that in the main services and activities are dellivered by volunteers and we have a few paid members of staff makes this more sustainable.

When group activites were suspended in March 2020 contact was made with all charitable foundations who have provided grants. In all cases we were able to successfully negotiate extended project timeframes for suspended group activities.

We continue to seek new partners,and the services they provide, as a tough economic climate naturally causes more needs amongst the community we serve, especially in Kingstanding, an area of major deprivation.

Plans for the future

The Management Board strategy is to keep staffing costs at levels that will not impose financial and structural risks to the charity. This is complemented by a vision that places working in partnership as another key component in making our charity both effective and sustainable. While working with volunteers also has its challenges, this forms the third element in a vision that marries financial strategy with a vision for the community that invites the community to play a key part in solving its own problems.

We continue to seek partnerships and opportunities for activities and support which will add to our vision for our area and the community.
