EDBERT'S HOUSE TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Our social prescribing, embedded in Gateshead Primary Care, has grown and developed, as shown in Table 1. We have made a significant improvement in the quantity and value for money of our services, which are delivered in four of the five Primary Care Networks ("PCN") of Gateshead. In addition to casework, the Community Linking Team have been involved in a number of collaborations, including: -

* Co-delivery of a pain management clinic.

Measuring the value of this service goes beyond numbers to qualitative improvements to the health and well being of nearly three-thousand patients and their families. Offering a one-to-one service, often in cases of complex needs and which can extend ta many home visits and off-site consultations, demands the care, attention to detail. and compassion of our dedicated team. We have received very positive feedback fram patients, with consistent qualitative evidence of self-reported improvements in health and wellbeing, such as the following comment:

{ really appreciate you coming to my house like this. Since my husband went into care my friends have drifted, I've got no family and ! don't feel anyone cares, You've been kind to me.’

Health Equity

Our Health Equity Team, launched in 2022, aims to tackle health inequalities across Gateshead. Essentially, health inequalities are avoidable and unfair differences in health between different groups of people. Not only are some people living less healthy lives but also dying earlier than they should be. For example, for men living in Gateshead there is nearly a 10-year difference in life expectancy depending on where you live. The things that contribute to health inequalities are complex, and no one organisation can tackle these issues alone, but we know that where we live, how connected we are and how easy it is to get help all play a part. This is why all of our Health Equity work builds meaningful relationships with communities and local partners, and values people through listening to what matters to them. This approach enables us to personalise support and empower communities to take control of their own health and wellbeing.

Our Health Equity delivery work is currently focused in the East and Inner West of Gateshead. However, the team is also involved in a number of system wide discussions looking to address health inequalities across the borough. Throughout all of our work we listen to local people and assess the data in local communities to ensure our services help reduce the inequalities identified in the data. The Health Equity team includes the Children, Young People and Families Team and the Communities and Place Team.

Children, Young People and Families Team

Our Children, Young People and Families team sits as part of the East Gateshead Primary Care Network. The team has only been operational since October 2022, and consists of four workers, yet has already supported 267 individuals and $4 families. On average, the families we support experience 18.5 detrimental life factors. We support children to get help before problems escalate to crisis, whilst supporting families to develop resilience. Many social prescribing initiatives focus on working with children in isolation, however, what sets our team apart is that we support the whole family unit: recognising that individual change cannot happen in isolation, The service provides a holistic, therapeutic, and creative approach to supporting families. Many children are bounced around the system, being involved with many agencies, yet are not being offered the support they need. Our team listens to what matters to families and fits their support to match. There are three main branches to the work: practical support, emotional support, and trauma informed working.

The team have delivered three family “proactive social prescribing activities" — Families Finding Freedom, baking classes in partnership with the Urban Bakery and family cooking classes in partnership with Nourish and Bill Quay Community Church. As well as helping with the delivery of family activities at Edberts House and Pattinson House.

Communities and Place Team

Our Communities and Place Health Equity work launches preventative community-based approaches to health and wellbeing.

Physical Activity

In both the East and Inner West of Gateshead we deliver physical activity and nutritional sessions focusing on health aging, managing long term conditions, and promoting health and wellbeing. Our feedback shows how much patients are valuing the support they are receiving:

“Even though it's only been a few months | have noticed a big difference in the residents since you have been coming in to do the activities. They are more active, fhey mave better. and are far more sociable with each ofher and have lunch together more often." - Assistant Housing Manager

HOPE network

With over 30 members, Our HOPE network — Health Of the Population in the East — brings together VCSE, local authority, health organisations, and local businesses to support each other, share our resources and create collaborative opportunities to work together to promote the health of our local population.

‘The HOPE network is a great way to connect with local groups and creatively think about haw we can share resources. Ifs a place where we can join up thinking and help all companies, charities and groups achieve their aims and objectives, 4s collective but also as individuals.

i's @ very warm welcoming network and all ideas are welcomed." Claire Hills-VWilson, Artistic Director, Lawnmowers

Patient Participation

We know that populations experiencing health inequalities face more barriers in accessing services which is why in the East and Inner West of Gateshead we are supporting primary care to engage with local communities so everyone can have a say in how health services serve them.

Menopausecafes and Volunteering

The team is also supporting a number of proactive initiatives to promote health and wellbeing in communities, including volunteering opportunities and menopause cafes.

‘| have transformed my social life since having the support to venture back out into the word again, | am working with the link worker to support the running of a new friendship group.” Patient

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Community Development and Engagement

The provision of place-based community houses to support the development and engagement of communities is our longest standing activity, and provides support to local communities, as well as to our social prescribing and health equity services. During the year we operated four such houses, Edbert’s House, Pattinson House, Larkspur House and, for the first time, Highfield House.

Edberts House

Edberts House was the first community houses developed by the Charity and serves the High Lanes Estate Cammunity in Heworth, East Gateshead. The year saw the gradual re-opening of activities after a lengthy period of disruption due to social distancing measures during the pandemic. Activities were supported financially by grants from Gateshead Council and the house became the venue for many activities carried out by the Health Equity CYPF Team.

Pattinson House

Pattinson House serves the Old Fold and Nest Estate Communities in Felling, East Gateshead and is supported by grant from the People’s Health Trust, as part of its “Local Conversations” programme. We are extemely grateful to People's Health Trust for the long term funding they have provided to help us build strong relationships in our community: as the funding comes to an end this year, we have created a sustainability plan and are looking for altemative sources of funding for the future. Pattinson House will continue to be run by its volunteer community steering group and will become the venue for new initiatives ta be developed in the coming year. Larkspur House Larkspur House is attached to a school situated in the heart of the Beacon Lough East Estate in High Fell, Central Gateshead. It is operated as part of the Thrive in Beacon Lough East Partnership ("TIBLE* Partnership) which involyes Gateshead Council, Northumbria Police, Citizen's Advice Gateshead and North East Counselling Services. The project is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and Gateshead Council. The TIBLE Partnership has become a leading example of inter-agency and community co-operation leading to improvements to the health and wellbeing of residents. Particular initiatives during the year included a very wellattended Platinum Jubilee Fair, the establishment of a monthly community market and a thriving youth group.

Highfield House

Highfield House is situated on the Pipebridge Estate near Rowlands Gill in Outer-West Gateshead. It is our first house in the West of Gateshead and was established in response to local resident concerns about lack of activities for young people, complex family challenges and problems with antisocial behaviour. Extensive community development has been going on to develop community interest and active involvement and the building is also now the base of our Outer West Community Linking Team, A timetable of regular activities has now been astablished including a thriving toddler group, social drop in’s and a full summer programme. We are funded by a three-year grant originally from NHS Newcastle & Gateshead Care Commissioning Group, channelled through Gateshead Council Public Health, and money from Well Newcastle Gateshead Arts Fund.

Core Support Services

In order to support and serve our frontline teams, we have expanded our core tearm, which now includes operational, human resources, administrative, finance and accounting services. During this period of rapid growth in our work, the core team have striven to achieve best practice in all areas of strategy, operations, recruitment and governance. The team have benefited from direct grant support from The Tudor Trust, The Ballinger Charitable Trust and the Virgin Money Community Anchor Fund.

Key management remuneration

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

Related parties

None of the trustees receive remuneration or other benefit fram 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.

Risk management

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

A key risk is financial sustainability. During the financial year ended 31 March 2023, the Charity has followed a programme of enlargement of its operating scope, with an increasing emphasis on health-based services, and taken on a fourth hub (Highfield House). As a result, the numbers of employees and the cost base have increased significantly, which puts pressure on maintaining a prudent level of free reserves in line with the trustees’ policy. The trustees have tasked management with ensuring that restricted funding activities are selffinancing to include appropriate core overheads and that contractbased work does not require subsidy from reserves to cover direct costs and direct overheads. Management continues to pursue unrestricted funding by way of grant and contract,

The trustees review the Free Reserves Policy and status each quarter with the presentation of management information and revised financial forecasts. In doing so, the trustees recognise the information flows from the efforts of the dedicated operating staff who face difficult challenges daily with kindness, consideration and professionalism, and the considerable contribution of the very capable team of management and support at the centre of the Charity.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees, who are also the directors of Edbert's House for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice),

Company Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable cormpany for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other imeqgularities.

EDBERT'S HOUSE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF EDBERT'S HOUSE

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Edbert's House (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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 responsibilities for the audit oft the financial stalements 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 concem 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 concem 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

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

a, +

EDBERT'S HOUSE

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE MEMBERS 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.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, wha 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. frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

1.4 Income 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 categones of income: - Voluntary income received by way of grants, donations and gifts is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable, Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. - Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right ta consideration by its performance.

1.6 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,
