Message from the Chalr and CEO
For the year ended 31 March 2022
Message from the Chair and CEO
21122 saw the continuing impact of Covid on rough sleeping. In March 2020 SPEAR'S
Outreach teams had played a key role in the 'Everyone In, initiative to provide all rough
sleepers with a place to stay safe at the beginning of Ihe pandemic. Throughout 21122 we
continued to support many people placed in hotels and temporary accommodation throu9h
this initiate while continuing our usual Outreach work.
21122 also saw. in 3 LA areas. the first full year of SPEAR staff supporting rough sleeper5
placed i n their own self-contained accommodation through 'Hou5ing First. initiatives
funded by the Rough Sleepers Accommodation Programme IRSAP).
Sep 22 saw the launch of the Governmenr's updated Rough Sleeping strategy. This was
combined with confirmation of funding for 3 year5 i nstead of one for many of our services.
starting from April 22. This presented the prospect of more sustainable funding for the
work we do but was coupled with the uncertainty of many of services being subject to
formal retendering after 31 Mar23.
At the time of writing ihe effects of the very large increases in fuel costs and the general
high inflation environment are beginning to be seen." the number of rough sleepers is
increasing. the people we suppon in accommodation are having to choose heating or
eati ng. SPEAR itself is facing significant increases in costs. including staffing, that are not
funded.
None of our work this year would have been possible without tremendous support from
Local Authorities. commissioners. supporters. funders and volunteers
we would like to
thank them all.
Both of us are regularly reminded of the vital nature of the work that SPEAR undertakes and
the opportunities it provides to the people we work with. through a mixture of
commissioned and fundraised services. There are many, individual stories at SPEAR.. one
which illustrates wonderfully well the type of V￿rk we do. is that of Jess.
Jess had been subject to extreme violence and was targeted in her home after reporting
the crimes. Scared for her life she became homeless. Several years of life on rhe streets led
to drug usage. Following an arrest. she was linked to a programme to quit drugs and found
accommodation at SPEAR'S accommodation for women.
"Ir was warm. comfortable and welcoming. My workers gave me lots of supporr and
they felt like friends, people I could trust and talk to about anything. I hadn t done
well ar school and rhey helped me pass an English qualification, then a course on
Healrh and5ocial Care because I like caring forpeople..

SPEAR Houslng A551xlallon Llmlted
Me55age from the Chalr and CEO
For the year ended 31 March 2022
Jess started volunteering to help other SPEAR clients with their health needs. She then took
an opportunity to join SPEAR'S six-month Peer Mentoring course which she successfully
completed. She explained that
You got to experience working one on one ￿th a clieni. which helps you get ready
for employment. You feel more confident because you know what to do."
Je55'5 volunteering continued afier she had completed the course and when a job came up
in SPEAR'S peer mentoring team. she was ready for employment. Today she is employed in
a full-time role supporting clients to susiain their tenancies, where her lived experience is
invaluable.
The factors that lead to people sleeping rough persist. In the year and years ahead SPEAR
will continue to adapt and respond equally to challenges and opportunities so that we
continue to meet this important need.

Unrestricted income for the year increased to £ 4.815.330 from £ 4.077.502 last year. an

management.
Restricted income for the year decreased to £ 591,369 from £ 639.656 last year, a decrease
of 8%. The previous year had benefiied from high levels of COVID grants. the funding for
this additional expenditure available in the year ended 31 March 2022 was lower and wa5
a main factor in the decrease.
Our expenditure for the year increased to £ 5,211,033 from £ 4,91 5,632 last year. an
increase of

Reserves policy and going concern
Trustees have examined the requirement for free reserves i.e. unrestricted funds not
invested in tangible fixed assets or designated for specific purposes. As reporred in
previous years. the Trustees are aimin9 at free reserves io cover operational activities from
unrestricted income for at least 3 month5, moving to 6 months over (ime. As of 31 March
2022. the unrestricted general reserves. totalled £ 1,699,055 which represents
approximately 3.9 months of expected average expenditure (at 31 March 2021=
unrestricted general funds were £1.466.227, being approximately 3.4 months of expected
average spend).
Ai 31 March 2022 the Company had designated reserves as follows=
Future property cycl ical maintenance to cover obligations totalling £ 1 .129.972 12021 =

refurbishment costs of property acquisition which cannot be funded under the terms
of the restricted endowment fund. SPEAR intends to expend these funds over the
medium term.
The Reserve5 Policy is reviewed annually by the Audit and Risk Committee and approved
by the Trustees.
Restricted Funds may only be used for the purposes specified by the donor and only
expenditure meeting these criteria is allocated to each fund. Any grants which remain
unspent at the year-end wil I be held as restricted reserves subject to any specific funding
terms attached to the grants. These may only be used for the projects in accordance wirh
the terms of rhe grants received.

SPEAR Endowment Trust
During 2018. Quintus Housing Trust became part of the SPEAR family, changing its name
to the 'SPEAR Endowment Trust- ISET). SET'S financial results are included in the SPEAR
accounts since the year ended 31 March 2019.
At 31 March 2022 the Endowment Fund amounted to £ 3.956.463 (31 March 2021= £
3.976,260). £1.236.646 of this is held in the 24 properties owned by SET with the balance
held as cash. The cash funds will enable us to seek out potential property acquisitions
within South-west London to provide much needed accommodation for our service users
and lor bases from which to operate.
Over the medium-term SPEAR iniends 10 supplement the endowment with a capital appeal,
granis and loan5 to enable it to buy more properties (han with the endowment alone.
Principal rfsks and uncertainties
SPEAR has an approach io risk management designed to ensure that there is an on-going
process for identifying. evaluating and mana9ing the significant risks faced by SPEAR. Risks
are assessed for their likelihood and potential impact and the Audit & Risk Committee and
Board focuses their work on those risks which are identified as mosr significanr. For all of
these risks the potential to mitigate risk is considered and where proportionate. action is
taken. A wide variety of Strategies are used to mitigate risk through appropriate policies
and procedures, spreading risk through sufficient diversity of activity and funders and
seeking to lay off risk through insurance.
Principal Risks during the year were identified as=
Staff fail to adhere to policies and procedures- SPEAR'S policies and procedures have
been designed to ensure that clients are safe and iheir support personalised, that
their daia is secure and that staff provide services in a professional manner that
protects their own. clients. volunteers and members of the public's health and safety.
The risk of staff failing to follow ihese procedures appropriately is that there are poor
outcomes which could place clients. volunteers. donors. members of the public or
staff at risk. SPEAR seeks to mitigate these risks through ensuring that it has
appropriate skills, the publication of policie5 and procedures and the induction and
training of staff.
Risk of loss of contractual income.. Contractual income to support the provision of
services for the homeless can vary as Strate9ic priorities change and services can be
subject to tenderin9. The risk of the changing priorities is that if SPEAR fails to adapt
its services on a timely basis it could incur additional costs and not fully meet
omrni 55ioning requirements. SPEAR seeks io mitigate these risks by aiming to have

SPEAR Houslng Assoclatton Umlted
Tru5tees' Annual Report
For the year ended 31 March 2022
an agile culture and sustain good relationships with its key commissioners and
funders.
Risk of financial deficits threatening the finanaal sustainability of SPEAR: SPEAR
delivers a range of commissioned services that offer l ittle if any scope for generating
financial surpluses. It is exposed to the same operating environments as other
organisations including high inflation. It benefits from having gained financial
strength when SPEAR Endowment Trust joined the group. but mLsch of this financial
strength is either restricted ro providing homes in accordance with the Trust deed or
will be required to maintain the existing almshouses and housing. However. longer
financial deficits over a number of years could put the long term future of SPEAR at
risk. SPEAR seeks to mitigate Ihese risks by keeping the financial perforrnance of
contracts and the organisation under regular review as well as assessing the financial
impacr of taking on new services.
Dlfficulty in recruiting and retaining 5taff- The nature of m05t of 5PEAR'$ Services is
they are heavily dependent upon recruiting and retaining siaff able to problem solve
and work i n some challenging situarions. Recruitment of staff in London is difficult
for many organisations beyond those working in social care, a secfor whose funding
does not enable particularly competitive salaries. The risk of difficulties in recruiting
and retaining is that existing staff teams are stretched, services become reliant upon
expensive temporary staff which in turn impacts both the financial performance and
quality of services. SPEAR seek to mitigate these risks through the work of its Human
Resources team and by seekin9 innovative ways to recruit.
Fundraising practices review
All fundraising practices are framed wiihin the values and principles of the organisaiion.
SPEAR regularly monitors fundraised income against budget. diversity of income and
fundraising ratios to ensure the organisation is able to make informed decisions regarding
activities.
SPEAR does not raise funds through telephone or door to door fundraising or work with
external agencies to do so. SPEAR'S relationship with its supporters is very imporiant to it
and it does not put any undue pressure on its supporters to donate to the charity. Many of
SPEAR'S supporters want to know how their gifts are making a difference. SPEAR ensures
that supporters are given a choice in whether they would like to be kept updated about its
work. If any of SPEAR'S donors do not wish to receive future communication from SPEAR
then it is made clear in supporter newsletters. mailings and on SPEARS website how they
can let sP￿R know their decision. SPEAR does not sell or exchange lists of data with any
other charities or companies for their markerin9 or fundraising purposes. SPEAR 15
committed to being transparent about how it collects and uses personal data. and to

meeting its data protection obligations in accordance with General Data Protection
Regulations IGDPR) and domestic laws. SPEAR:s privacy statement can be found on its
website.
We received no complaint5 about our fundraising prattices in 2021-22.
Plans for the future
SPEAR intends to carry on adapting the nature of its services in line with the
Government's Strategy for Rough Sleepers. which will aim to work in tandem with
both existi ng rough sleepers and preventative work for those at risk of homelessness.
SPEAR will seek to further expand its services offered under Housing First which looks
to ensure that Rough Sleepers are accommodated in self contained homes with all the
necessary support to address any underlying issues. that may be complex, that lead
to rough sleeping.
Acquiring properties to provide more independent accommodation to homele55
people, including use of rhe endowment and designated funds to acquire and lor
renovate appropriate properties. which should also further strengthen the financial
viability of SPEAR.
Look to secure longer term funding with partners for the preventaiive health services
offered by SPEAR. which have been developed with the support of fundraising grants.
Further develop the work evidencin9 the continuous improvement of quality of
services provided by SPEAR.
Broaden the range of opportunities in activities. training. volunteering and
employment available to SPEAR clients so they can personalise their involvement with
SPEAR with the support of fundraising partners.
Continue io review how evolwng iechnology can best irnprove service delivery and the
efficient management of the charity.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the staiemenr of trustees. responsibilities set out in the trustees. annual
report. the Irusiees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of
company lawl are responsible for the preparation of the financial 51atements and for being
satisfied that they give a true and fair view. and for such internal control as the trustees determine
is necessary to enable the preparation of financial siaiement5 that are free from material
misstatemeni. whether due to fraud or error.
In preparin9 the financial statemenis. the Irustee5 are responsible for assessing the charitable
company's ability to continue a5 a going concern, disclosbng. as applicable. matters related to
going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustee5 either intend
to liquidate the charitable company or io cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to
do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objeciives are to obiain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material missiaiement. wheiher due to fraud or error. and to issue an
auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bui Is
nor a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always delect a maierial
missiatement when it exisis. Misstatemenis can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of ihe5e financial statements.
Irregularities. including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We
design procedure5 in line with our responsibilities. outlined above. to detect material
misstatements in respect of irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are
capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud are sei out below.
Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities
In identifying and assessing risks of material Misstatement in respect of irregularities. including
fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulat40ns. our procedures included the following..
We enquired of management and the Finance Committee. which included obtaining and
Teviewing supporting documentation. concernin9 the charity's policies and procedures
relating io..
Identifying. evaluating. and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were
aware of any instances of non-compliance.,
Detectin9 and responding io the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any
aciual. suspected. or alleged fraud-
The internal controls established to rnitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance
with laws and regulations.
We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.

Independent audltor's report
To the members of
SPEAR Houslng A$50Cilltion Limitod
We obtarned an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charrty
operates in. focusing on those law5 and regulations that had a material effect on the
financial statemenis or thai had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from
our professional and sector experience.
We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained
alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audii.
We reviewed any reports made to regulators.
We reviewed the financial statemeni disc105ures and tested these to supporting
documentation to assess cornpliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We performed ana1￿1(al procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that
may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
In addresslng the risk of fraud ihrough management override of controls. we tested the
appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. assessed whether the judgements
made in making accounting estimates are indicaiive of a poteniial bias and iested significant
transactions that are unusual or those outsrde the normal course of business.
8ecau5e of the inherent limitation5 of an audit. there is a risk that we will not detecr all
irregularities, including those leading to a maierial misstatement in ihe financial statements or
non-compliance wilh regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance wilh a law or
regulation is removed froffl the evenis and iransactions reflected in the financial statements, as we
will be less likely to become aware of insiances of non-compliance. The risk is also greaier
regarding irregularities occurrin9 due io fraud rather than error. as fraud involves intentional
concealment. forgery. collusion. omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibiliiies is available on ihe Financial Reporting Council'5
website at-.
rsres
onsibiliiies. This description forms part of our auditor's
report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the chariiable companrfs members as a body. in accordance with
Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companie5 Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken 50 that we
mi9ht state io the charitable cornpanrfs members those matters we are required to state to them
in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law. we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and ihe charitable
company's member5 as a body, for our audit work. for this report. or for ihe opinion5 we have
formed.
