~ EDBERT'S HOUSE * TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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

The objectives of the Charity are set out within the Memorandum of Association which are: -

-To develop the capacity of the socially and economically disadvantaged members of the community in such a way that they are better able to identify and help meet their needs and to participate fully in society -The relief of unemployment amongst members of the community in such ways as may be thought fit, including assistance to find employment -To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other such leisure time occupations by members of the community who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their condition of life, and -To promote the good health and well-being of all members of the community.

Public benefit

All our activities are undertaken for the benefit of our local community and the trustees continuously consider the Charity Commission advice on public benefit. All our activities are about encouraging health, welfare and recreation to those who are disadvantaged in some way and those of restricted means. Access to our facilities and services is either at nil or low cost to ensure the widest of participation by members of our community.

Achievements and performance

Charitable Activities

2020-21 has been the most challenging year yet in the lifetime of Edberts House. | suspect that this is the reflection of many charities as they write their annual reports. Covid resulted in disconnection — necessitating people to keep their distance — the opposite to our heart and values. We describe our work as connecting people to each other, to good support and to decision makers to influence change in their own areas, and many of the ways that we had traditionally done this were impossible. Despite this, however, our team has worked tirelessly to meet local need, and we are proud to have expanded our staff team, our reach and our turnover during this challenging time of uncertainty.

Communlty Houses

Our community houses — Edberts, Pattinson, and Larkspur — that develop local control and a sense of purpose within our communities, improving health and wellbeing, and building community cohesion, sadly have been shut to the public for the whole year.

Undaunted, we developed a variety of socially distanced and digital alternatives to try and help our communities with the challenge of the pandemic: online cookery with bags of ingredients delivered to the door, fitness packs with online challenges, online coffee mornings, craft packs, Christmas hampers, using our creativity to stay in touch.

Covid Champlons

Our strong partnership with Public Health led to some interesting conversations about how to engage with communities during the pandemic, providing meaningful information and choosing the right messengers to convey the message. We worked alongside a Makina MC to produce a film encouraging our younger community members to stay safe: https://youtu.be/NWZYFwJ84bE and a series of short videos with local school children: https://youtu.be/6L1-yKQWz_M. We went on to employ three Covid Community Champions to focus on community engagement and to promote vaccine take-up in vaccine hesitant communities and produced a series of animations to educate 7-11- year-olds about Covid which was distributed to over 6,000 young people.

Emergency Response

We were keen to help during lockdown and felt that our knowledge of communities and experience of supporting people with complex needs would be useful in the emergency response, so we partnered with Gateshead Council to run the Covid shielding hub for the East of Gateshead. The hub was based in our buildings and run by a combined team of Edberts and Local Authority staff. In total 2,219 cases were handled by the team, and no two have been the same.

:

Food was the main request (1,585) however often residents approached the team for food but ended up receiving support for other worries that they had been struggling with. The team became adept at building and managing relationships, sometimes through only a couple of phone calls.

The requests to the team were broad and varied including support needs such as shopping (459), utility bills (282), prescription collection (120), befriending (65), welfare benefits, housing benefit, PIP, boiler issues, household repairs, school uniform, free school meals, housing, mortgage holiday, furlough, government grants, grant applications, homelessness, clothing, bus passes, domestic abuse, lockdown queries, school transfer, government shielding registration, debt, counselling, and gardening services. Many were referred to other agencies for additional support, recognising the importance of seeing cases through to the end, and aiming to increase the family’s independence and reduce their need for further support. The team topped up utility meters; organised children’s schoo! uniforms; paid 1 mobile phone bill (the person needed their phone to be re-activated so they could start their new job as an Amazon delivery driver as they needed to access Google maps); bought a mobile phone for a man who was receiving support from many agencies who were unable to maintain contact; various shopping trips for people with specific dietary requirements (post-surgery/intolerances etc); bought various household appliances including a cooker, microwave, clothes horse, electric tin opener, air fryer etc.; bought 8 month-long bus passes to help people get to work; bought toiletries & cleaning products such as shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, nappies, wipes, sanitary products, razors, antibacterial wipes, bleach etc. to add into the food parcels.

The team supported people in many complex and difficult situations; a man who threatened to jump in front of a train because his situation had become so dire; a lady who had left her husband of many years and was struggling being by herself with no-one to bubble with; a family with 6 children who couldn't afford Christmas presents. Although many people have struggled during this time there have been many moments of triumph for the team.

In amongst the general requests from the community, the team carried out additional tasks such as contacting those classed as Clinically Extremely Vulnerable, to ensure their needs were being met; organising oximeter equipment to be delivered to individuals in their homes to monitor their oxygen levels. The team supported the delivery of packed lunches at October half-term that went to 963 children (452 deliveries); Edberts House partnered with local churches to provide Christmas craft packs and to develop an East Gateshead Angel walk.

Community Linking Project

Our Community Linking Project that supports Gateshead patients with non-clinical issues underwent significant expansion during 2020/21. As part of an NHSE promotion of social prescribing across England, we grew our Community Linking Project from 14 Link Workers to 21 during the year, as the Primary Care Networks (PCNs formed from clusters of GP surgeries) recognised the impact and effectiveness of addressing the wider social determinants of health.

This was a significant challenge, as not only did we recruit and induct our new team online, but we also had to adjust to home working, equipping our staff with the digital access and equipment that they needed, and ensure that they felt supported and valued. Link Workers were at the heart of the Primary Care Covid response, ringing shielding patients at the start of the pandemic, and involved in the administration of vaccine delivery in the latter part of the year, as well as supporting their case load of patients with complex non-clinical needs.

' EDBERT'S HOUSE - TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Violence Reduction

During 2020/21, we also piloted two new pieces of work, building on our experiences of supporting our communities over recent years.

Recognising that violence is a symptom: a symptom of trauma, of poverty, of lack of agency, of frustration... the list goes on, we discussed with our Violence Reduction Unit ways in which we could tackle violence by addressing the root causes. During 2020/21, we have employed a Link Worker who is connected to our Primary Care team but based in the Local Authority, supporting individuals who are perpetrators or victims of violence. This has been an impactful piece of work, reducing offending, supporting 39 individuals, and generating learning within the Council about bespoke and relational ways of working which has led to changes in statutory service delivery.

The second area of work was using a trauma informed approach to work intensively with families and children to reduce violence, Our Life Team were able to draw alongside 10 families (40 individuals) with some encouraging case studies to demonstrate the necessity of taking an early and holistic, whole family approach.

“| feel like having this is beneficial to my life. If | didn’t have this, | could of shut down completely n failed my kids, but this service helped save me n | av positivity n hope now| love u all’ Mum supported by Life Team Regional Leaning Co-ordinator Throughout 2020/21, Edberts House fulfilled the role of Regional Learning Co-ordinators for Social Prescribing across the North East and North Cumbria. This was a critical role, as many Social Prescribing Link Workers had just come into post before the pandemic and regular support and encouragement was vital. We set up a series of peer support groups across the region, as well as taking part in regional and national webinars to train, support and inform the new workforce. Certainty for the future We had all hoped that by the end of 2020/21, Covid would be a problem of the past. Sadly, it remains a real and present threat, and our work is still restricted. However, amidst all the uncertainty, one thing is certain: there will be a growing need for our services and approach in coming days, as we recover from the pandemic. Covid has revealed the stark inequalities in our society. The disproportionate impact that the pandemic has had in areas of poverty and deprivation is clear. There is widespread talk about ‘levelling up’, and we believe this requires a community led approach. Together with our communities, we have developed the expertise to play a significant role in addressing health inequalities at a local level, and we are determined to build happier, healthier, friendlier communities across Gateshead in the year ahead.

Financial review

The Charity’ financial results for the year are shown in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA). Income for the year totalled £1,060,897 (2020: £702,251). Expenditure was £843,714 (2020: £593,034). The recorded surplus for the year is £217,183 (2020: £109,217).

At the end of the financial year, cash and bank balances totalled £580,619 (2020: £320,732).

Reserves Policy

Free reserves, which represent general reserves not used for fixed assets, rose to £314,270 from £133,763 in 2020. The free reserve amount exceeds the Trustees target of three months of total gross expenditure in relation to the rate of such expenditure in the financial year but, in view of the rapidly expanding activities of the Charity and the budgeted increase in expenditure in the current financial year, the Trustees find it is prudent to increase the target for free reserves from £150,000 to £270,000.

* TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Cllr MW Graham (Resigned 10 November 2020) Cllr J Green (Resigned 10 November 2020) Ms C Kelly Mr SB McGuinness Mrs M Booth (Resigned 18 May 2021) MrA Cherry Ms JM Barnard Mr MP Stirrup Mr PD Cassidy (Appointed 14 October 2020)

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees Trustees are appointed by the existing board of trustees and confirmed at the annual general meeting of the Charity. Trustees are appointed for a maximum of three years. Retiring trustees are eligible to be reappointed by the remaining trustees if they agree.

New trustees meet with the Chief Executive Officer to brief them on: their legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and inform them of the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the committees and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. New trustees also meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate externa! training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.

Organisational structure

The board of trustees administers the Charity. The board normally meets monthly and sub-committees of the board can meet at shorter notice to consider specific matters for later reporting to the board. A Chief Executive Officer is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the Chief Executive Officer has delegated authority, within terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance, employment and operational! activity.

:

Key management remuneration

Key management remuneration is disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Related partles

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the Charity. Any connection between a trustee or senior manager with an external party must be disclosed to the full board of trustees. In the current year no such related party transactions were reported.

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

The experience of lockdown and social distancing under the pandemic has demonstrated that the Charity has the flexibility to adapt its working practices to continue serving the communities in a meaningful way. The trustees acknowledge that one consequence of the pandemic was access to additional funding to assist in the necessary adaptation, but the avoidance of serious consequences of what could have been a catastrophic event is down to the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff of the Charity. Financial sustainability continues to be the key risk, especially as the Charity begins a phase of rapid expansion in the scope of its activities, but care is taken to ensure that core activities are fully funded under contract or dedicated sources of funding and that grants are obtained from a variety of potential funders to cover overheads and specific projects complimentary to the core activities.

“ EDBERT'S HOUSE ‘ INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EDBERT'S HOUSE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Edbert's House (the ‘charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilittes for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

“INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF EDBERT'S HOUSE

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the Knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 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 these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures 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, is detailed below.

The risk of material misstatement due to error or fraud has been assessed in conjunction with how internal controls may mitigate any such risk. These controls are reviewed as part of the audit by performing systems walkthroughs to ensure they are operating effectively. Other substantive testing is also performed on all material balances and therefore any instances of non-compliance should be identified or considered as insignificant.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:// www.fre.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

“EDBERT'S HOUSE

‘NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Charity information

Edbert’s House is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 17- 19 St. Edmund's Drive, Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, NE10 9AE, England. Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

1.5 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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Leasehold improvements Straigh line over 10 years Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Motor vehicles 25% reducing balance

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The charity is exempt from tax on income and gains to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the charity

:

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
