Trustees' Report

Trustees and officers
The trustees and officers serving during the year and since the year end were as follows:
Trustees: Andrew Wilson, (Chair) Allan Njanji, (Vice-Chair) Lynda Wilson, (Secretary) Thomas Quarton-Manuel, (Treasurer) Vera Hau Karen Ziesler Ruth Brittle
Secretary: Lynda Wilson, (Secretary)
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
The Trust is both a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity. It is operated under the rules of its memorandum and articles of association dated 22 November 2006 and most recently updated 16 November 2021. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £10.
Governance
The Trust is governed by a Board of Trustees who are drawn from local organisations or have relevant skills or experience, including those with lived experience of refugee flight and destitution.
The Board meets every three months and receives reports on finances, funding and operational matters, with due consideration of arising issues.
Each board meeting considers any conflicts of interest between those items on the agenda and the people in attendance at the meeting. Trustees then decide whether anyone should be asked to leave the meeting whilst the agenda item is discussed and decided upon.
Recruitment, induction and training of Trustees
We short list all potential trustees and select new trustees based on their skill sets and experience to enhance the work of the Trust before we make an appointment. All potential new trustees are invited to meet with the Chair for informal discussion on the role and invited to observe a board meeting. Existing trustees then consider whether the proposed trustee should be formally invited to join the board after both the individual and the board have had opportunity to observe one another.
The Trust has developed a trustee induction pack which is given to all trustees upon appointment to the board, as well as a copy of “The essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do” (Charity Commission CC3).
Following appointment to the board, an induction is delivered by the staff team which covers how we work in terms of referrals and allocations, support work, additional resident integration support and cultural events.

Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The Trust's main object is to provide supported housing to destitute asylum seekers and newly recognised refugees.
We relieve financial hardship among those seeking asylum, those granted asylum or refugee status and those with no recourse to public funds and their dependants who are destitute and living temporarily or permanently, in Nottingham and the surrounding area and in particular, but not exclusively by the provision of temporary accommodation, advice, information, support and advocacy.
Such other charitable purposes for the benefit of those seeking asylum, those granted refugee status and other vulnerable migrants and their dependents as the directors shall determine.
Objectives, strategies and activities
To provide temporary housing for homeless refused asylum seekers in Nottingham while they prepare to submit fresh claims for asylum or access Section 4 accommodation; and to combat homelessness among those, mostly single people, recently granted asylum or refugee status. Additionally to provide supported housing to survivors of modern slavery and/or human trafficking from emergency referrals.
Engagement of volunteers
We continue to work with a fantastic pool of volunteers supporting us with administration, mentoring & befriending, events, interpreting, English lessons, marketing, photography, raising awareness of destitution in the community, DIY at our properties and driving / accompanying residents to appointments such as reporting with immigration.
Public benefit
In the opinion of the Trustees, the Public Benefits arising from the Trust's activities are the relief of poverty and homelessness, and the support of vulnerable people who are trying to move on and rebuild their lives in the UK, including bringing their families over through family re-union (and therefore supporting the right to family life as enshrined in Human Rights Law).
The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Trustees' Report
Achievements and performance
NAT has been able to provide 87 refugees and asylum seekers with shelter and support, with 25 of these people moving on into their own accommodation or Home Office support.
The NAT staff team changed greatly within 2022; an increased number of support workers, a new Legal Caseworker joined the team in July and an Anti-destitution Specialist worker in August, were employed to widen the team. The new team continued to find new ways of doing things and collaborating where possible; working remotely for part of a working week and face to face meetings with residents and partners as the year progressed.
In terms of Trust activity, the most significant achievement that occurred was a project commissioned by Nottingham City Council. This offered temporary accommodation & support to people from abroad, it began in January 2022. This has expanded the operational activity of the organisation enabling us to support vulnerable, rough sleeping refugees and people from abroad, by accommodating them for a 12 week period and offering intensive support work, to facilitate moving individuals out of homelessness and into their own tenancies.
The Legal work - the Fresh Claims project has opened up the possibility of offering greater support to service users. NAT is now registered to OISC Level 3 in Asylum & Protection.
Thanks
Trustees are very grateful to the funders who have supported us during the year. Without their generous support, NAT could not have achieved its aims in supporting our residents. Similarly, we would like to thank the generous individuals and organisations who have provided houses for those in need.
Financial review
NAT's finances ended on a positive note at the end of 2022 with a surplus of over £30k, a 37% increase on the previous year. This was largely driven by the additional Nottingham City Council contracts and the one-off transfer of £30k from HOST ahead of the eventual merger of the organisations. These additions offset the increase in personnel costs, one-off office costs, and general inflationary and utility costs.
NAT's balance sheet showed almost £105k in cash at Year End, however during the summer - in week 34 - there were cashflow concerns following on from a delay in receiving a grant payment. This will be monitored closer in future years.
Policy on reserves
Trustees aim to keep three months' worth of unrestricted funds in reserves to account for any significant unplanned expenditure or delay in receipt of planned funds, but that has not been achieved over the last several years.

Trustees' Report
Principal risks and uncertainties
Costs rising
The most concerning risk faced by NAT in the current year (2023) is the rise in the cost of living and the increased fuel prices. These increases will have a significant impact on our expenditure.
Funding
The current situations in Ukraine and the emergency disaster appeal for Turkey & Syria are affecting the level of donations from the public. Many regular donors are choosing to give to these causes rather than local charities. This drop in donations is exacerbated by the ongoing impact of public sector spending cuts on statutory and voluntary sector services in Nottingham, more charities are approaching Trusts and funders to replace Local Authority support, and the wider increase in fuel prices and inflation. Hence, there is much greater competition for grants and other funding available to support NAT's work.
Government Policy Changes
As our work has links to the Asylum & Immigration Systems, policy changes can always threaten the way we work, or demand changes in how we work. The most recent challenge is from the Immigration plan that is currently passing through Parliament.
Accommodation and rental costs
NAT face a risk of increasing rents whereby some landlords who we have been working with for several years are now wishing to increase the rents. This is in part due to higher maintenance costs to ensure the properties comply with and exceed Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMO) license conditions.
The current shortage of accommodation available on the private rental market is affecting both NAT and our residents. Suitable housing for the organisation to lease for HMO’s is very limited, and the availability and cost of accommodation for our residents to move on is prohibitive. Both of these factors have a tangible impact on the service we provide. The shortage of affordable rented housing impacts upon the move-on opportunities for Refugee residents as rents are priced out of their reach, which in turn limits the number of individuals we are to support.
Small companies provision statement
This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006.
Page 5
The Nottingham Arimathea Trust
Trustees' Report
Statement of Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the directors of The Nottingham Arimathea Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 8 June 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Nottingham Arimathea Trust ('the Company')
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Nottingham Arimathea Trust ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 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 the Company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, 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 that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

1 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Basis of preparation
The Nottingham Arimathea Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Page 11
The Nottingham Arimathea Trust
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2022
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from other parties for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
