## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Due to the impact of COVID-19, the charity quickly adapted its services to respond to the growing needs in the city and provided over 80,000 emergency meals through its services from April-December alone - this equates to 21.5 tons of food and a retail equivalent value of over £35,000. The charity's food bank received 29% more visits in 2020 than it saw the year previous. The charity also offered an affordable food service as an 'add-on' to those taking steps towards independent living. 

The charity also launched a free 'Emergency Click and Collect' service to enable those requiring further practical assistance the opportunity to request a wider range of items (such as clothing, toiletries or bedding) - items could be 'ordered' online by a referral partner and were then picked and packed ready for collection. 

The charity's furniture project continued to partner with the 'Leicestershire and Rutland Re-use Network' (LRRNN) in delivering a Leicester City Council tender to provide furniture to eligible Community Support Grant (CSG) holders. The project also launched a new scheme providing washing machines to local families in need thanks to a new partnership with The School Development Support Agency (SDSA). 

'Hand in Hand Preschool' continues to offer good quality nursery education through its two early years settings located in Highfields and Braunstone in Leicester. 

The Trust's coffee shop, '6 Degrees Coffee House', also continued to deliver its services through its trading subsidiary 'Compassion In Action' (Company Number: 10587115) when government guidelines allowed. All profits continue to be invested into the charity's work. 

## **Case Studies** 

A recipient of one of our food parcels through Covid-19 commented: 

"You are all doing a wonderful and unique [job]. Every day you are helping, supporting and motivating a lot of people who are in real need. I would like to thank you from my heart, not only for food but also for the way you deal with us. You are lovely, smiley, and very friendly. You are keeping us all moving forward."

At Christmas we helped to furnish the property of a man who had just been released from prison. The man had only a bed to sleep on and no other possessions; he was living out of a bag and kept everything on his bed as the floor was soaking wet. We were able to help the man through our furniture project. The furniture team revisited the man's property a few weeks after our initial delivery in order to install a washing machine. Our furniture project manager commented that "what had previously been an empty box now felt like a home". The man was so happy to show the team around and said that he'd been recommending others in need to come to Open Hands for help! 

- 

A participant on our last 'Emerge' self-esteem course rung their mentor this year to update us on their situation. The participant, who was an ex-offender, had been up and down in their mood when we first met them back in 2019 but was now sounding much more happy and confident. The individual told us that they were now back in employment and had thought to contact Open Hands as they wanted us to know how much our support through the course had meant to them. It is amazing to think that even 12 months on our guests still think of us and continue to put what we've taught them into action.

One of our English class students said: 

"I heard about the English Classes through a friend who was helped by Open Hands with clothes and food... The classes are so good and the teachers support us so much. They've helped me to improve my language and I have made so many friends here too - it's like a community, a big family to be a part of." 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have adopted a reserves policy which requires 3 months of expenditure, of approximately £38,000, to be held in unrestricted reserves. This will allow the Charity to continue to operate for a minimal period of time should income reduce. The Trustees recognise that the current cash reserves are not at the required levels and will work towards increasing these during 2022. The value of the reserves will be monitored on a regular basis in the light of current giving levels, expenditure and annually as part of the budget process. 

The accounts on pages 7 to 18 summaries the income and expenditure during the year ended 31 December 2021 and the state of the charities affairs as at 31 December 2021. 

In the year to 31 December 2021 total income was £597,954 (2020 - £496,525) and total expenditure was £414,892 (2020 - £341,308).

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Open Hands Trust (Leicester)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Open Hands Trust (Leicester) ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **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.
