Caris Camden

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

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 December 2021. 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

Charity's aims

The Charity’s object is to promote charitable purposes for the benefit of the community in the London Borough of Camden and in surrounding or adjacent areas, including assisting the homeless and parents and children in need. It does so by arranging after school and homework clubs for children living in temporary accommodation, by arranging enrichment activities (outings and trips) for those children and their families and by advocating for them.

Significant activities

During 2020 our service delivery in the London Borough of Camden was adversely impacted by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Camden Council closed all of its family hostels which rendered our services temporarily unrequired.

During 2020 we began talks with several London Boroughs with a view to us working with their families in temporary accommodation. Our talks with Hackney were extremely positive. It is a borough with ten times as many families and individuals experiencing homelessness and correspondingly more temporary accommodation and hostel life, than Camden.

The impact of Covid and the subsequent lock down made for another challenging year for Caris Camden Families in 2021, however thanks to the dedication and determination of our staff team and trustees we began operating our services in the London Borough of Hackney in September 2021.

We’d like to extend our personal thanks to Hackney Council’s staff team for welcoming our services and team into their hostels.

With the delivery commencing in September 2021, the performance statistics reflect only four months of delivery. The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are confident that their activities do indeed provide tangible benefit the public, especially in the London Boroughs of Hackney and Camden. In 2021 we supported 102 children and 82 adults all of whom were living in temporary accommodation within the three main hostels that we currently serve in Hackney. These hostels are Royal Park, Manor House and Ivy House Hostels. We also supported many families with move on grants and holiday vouchers as part of our services during 2021.

In addition, during 2021 we ran a highly successful trustee recruitment campaign and I am hugely grateful to my fellow trustees who bring lived experience of family homelessness and a breadth of excellent skills, experiences and commitment to providing the best possible services to families living in hostels in both Camden and Hackney.

Caris Camden

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Financials

These 2021 accounts for Caris Camden Families represents our first full accounts as Caris Camden without any of the finances associated to the our sister Charity C4WS, who we separated from to enable both organisations to continue to develop, both have distinct activities related to two different projects:

C4WS which runs a winter night shelter and ancillary services for the homeless and

CCF (Caris Camden Families) which runs after school clubs and other services for families in Camden and Hackney.

The Charity’s endowment funds grew by £252,079 to £1,933.040, but this was a period of fluctuation in the stock market. The fund produced income of £63,846 (2020 £63,935). Being an endowment fund we are not able to spend the capital and it does not count as a reserve. Our investment policy is to prioritise income.

The £47,940 of accumulated income in excess of expenditure is the Charity’s only reserve and we are seeking funds to increase this to a more sustainable level. We are grateful in particular to the Two Magpies Fund which paid the cost of the Service Manager’s salary. We always expected to resume charitable activities during the lockdowns occasioned by the pandemic and our staff furloughed then, and paid for largely by the government, are now back delivering our services in Hackney.

As Chair I’d like to thank our dedicated staff team for their drive and adaptability during this transitional period. Our hope, and expectation is that in 2022 we can once again reintroduce our service delivery in Camden.

I’d also like to thank our long-standing funding partners who have stood with us and maintained their support for our charity during the last few years of significant challenges as we have overcome the Covid-19 pandemic

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

As a company limited by guarantee, the Charity’s governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. In 2021 the Charity adopted the working name “Caris Families”, reflecting the fact that it did not work exclusively in the London Borough of Camden.

The Charity is governed by a board of Trustees who are its directors and also its members. They meet about four times each year and also deal with more urgent business by email. New trustees are appointed by the board of Trustees with the exception of two who may be nominated, one by the Camden Deanery Synod (none has in fact been appointed by the Synod).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Caris Camden

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Caris Camden ('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

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

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

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.
