## EMERGE ANNUAL REPORT 2022/3 

Hello everyone, 

I am extremely saddened to begin this report with the devastating news that our Chair and founder, Mr Gerry Phillips sadly died in June of last year after battling a serious illness. He leaves behind his partner and their two sons, twins, aged just sixteen. 

As you can imagine, family, friends, colleagues and our service users, current and former, are all still coming to terms with the loss, and it is crucial we do all we can to keep his legacy going. Terry Craddock remains at the helm, and continues to guide the project through this challenging and difficult time, admirably. 

Gerry set up Emerge as a non-commissioned service, allowing us greater flexibility in what we do best, providing excellent support services to anyone who may need it. Supporting individuals to turn their lives around, into something more purposeful and productive. Remaining non-commissioned allows us to accept service users from outside of the Bristol area and we are therefore not limited with who we can provide both accommodation and support to. 

We have also introduced a coffee morning on Mondays, where our clients and sometimes a famiy member can come along to see the support we offer and the work we do. This additional support also gives clients from different houses a chance to mix and meet up and widen their support network. This has been incredibly successful and we would like to thank all those who help and support us with the provision of this service. 

We can see first-hand, on what a difference Emerge makes to those we support, and from the feedback we receive, and the former clients who remain in Bristol, Emerge has clearly had a positive impact on hundreds of service users since we were established, with many going on to do great things both in and out of this field of work. 

Understandably, this report has been extremely difficult to compile, and we will therefore keep it fairly brief. I would however, like to finish with a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has played a part over the past year, in keeping Emerge, a first-class service on track, with their continued support, enabling us to remain committed to improving the lives and outcomes of our service users, their families and the wider community. 

Tina Lias, 

Temporary Chair.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Emerge 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Emerge** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Emerge (the Trust) for the year ended 31st March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants  in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts  set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

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.

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. 

## **TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS**
