PUBLIC BENEFIT

In shaping our objectives for the year, the trustees have considered the charity commission’s guidance on public benefit. Tilbury continues to be our main focus because One Community is situation in the heart of Tilbury on the Dock Road with over half of the neighbourhoods (61%) in the town being in the 20% most deprived in England (Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2019) As at March 2021, 1055 (March 2020:3,585) claimant from Tilbury were registered as unemployed. According to the UK office for National statistic 2020, Tilbury has an estimated population of 14,364 with 8326 being in the 18-64 working age category (https://www.citypopulation.de/en/uk/eastofengland/thurrock/E35001227__tilbury/). Also Tilbury has an ethnically diverse community with 17% of its population from minoritized ethnic backgrounds, the largest group identifying as black Africans.

Tilbury was identified as one of the 101 places earmarked for major development for regeneration with a proud industrial and economic heritage, that have not always benefitted from economic growth in the same way as more prosperous areas, was invited to develop proposals for a new generation of multi-million-pound Town Deals. The Tilbury Towns Fund Board put in for £25.991 million out the towns eligible for support from the £3.6 billion Towns Fund in January 2021 after consultation with the community to inform the writing of the bid. One Community’s chief executive officer was one of the Towns Fund Board members along with other local representatives, businesses and the local MP who drew up the ambitious project proposals which have been shaped by residents and local businesses, people who live and work in Tilbury to transform Tilbury’s economic growth prospects with a focus on improved transport, broadband connectivity, skills and culture. This huge investment is once-in-a lifetime opportunity to transform the Town.

One Community continues to fully engaged in the Tilbury Community-led local development project, an EU Structural and Investment Fund initiative set to run from September 2019 which has now been extended to March 2023. One Community is running a project called Tilbury Opportunities (TOPPs) in partnership with 3 other local organisations namely: Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions (TLS). Thurrock Adult Community College (TACC) and Thurrock Centre for Independent Living (TCIL) to work with disengaged and/or inactive members of the community who are unemployed to overcome barriers to employment and back into work, education or training. This is to help stimulate positive outcomes, facilitate ongoing regeneration by creating a better living and working environment.

In the last year during the period April 2020 to March 2021, we experienced the impact of the closure of our One Community shop for eight months out of the 12-month period (April 2020 to August 2020 and January 2021 to March 2021) Hence the number of people who came through our doors during this period was significantly impacted with 1,235 visits compared to 3,803 in the last reporting period March 2020. Most of our activities we conducted were to do with covid relief including checking on the welfare of our community.

Public Benefit

We joined forces with the Thurrock Coronavirus Community Action (TCCA), a partnership led by the Thurrock Council, Stronger Together, and Thurrock CVS, working with local organisations to safely coordinate support and volunteers to reach out to residents in Thurrock. This was an initiative to encourage local organisation to harness the power of joint working and resources to specifically support the challenges posed by the covid-19 pandemic. Our local volunteers supported the delivery of food and medication as well as making phone calls to vulnerable members of the community during this period. The Country Food Trust delivered 480 pouches of pheasant and curry casseroles which we worked with the Thurrock Foodbank to deliver to families in need over the Christmas period. We also supported recruitment campaigns online and by text and phone calls for both the Tilbury Amazon Fulfilment Centre and DWP for their Job Centres in Basildon and Grays during April 2020, signposting at least 150 potential candidates for their vacancies. In addition, we conducted a survey in July/August 2020 to find out from local residents in the community, partners, members and volunteers to ask whether we should re-open our community space moving forward considering the very small shopfront space we currently occupy. We also wanted to know the types of support they would like us to focus on giving. An overwhelming majority (94%) said we should re-open and follow government guidelines for social distancing, and the wearing of face masks. Out of the 130 respondents, 61% want us to continue to support residents with Foodbank, TLC and Little Things that Mean A lot. Whilst 27% want us to continue to support accredited training course, jobs and careers support and volunteering opportunities. Finally, 12% wanted us to organise family events for the community. We had visits from 69 first time enquirers during the course of this year compared to 236 last year. During the times that we were open 85% of the visits to the One Community shop were from Tilbury Residents, with Grays and East Tilbury with significantly fewer numbers than the previous year. There were 58% female, and 42% male. The ethnic breakdown was 45% Black African, 38% White English, 3% Eastern European (Romanian and Albanian), 6% South Asian (Indian, Bangladesh, Nepalese) 4% black Caribbean, 2% Middle East (Turkish) and 2% mixed. The age range were: 15-17 (6%), 18-24 (12%), 25-44 (52%), 45-59 (13%), 60-74 (10%) and Prefer not to Say (7%). We had 10% reporting some form of disability (learning, mental, multiple, physical). We are also responding to our community via events to help build bridges between people from diverse backgrounds. The Tilbury population is becoming more diverse with 17% of these coming ethnic minority backgrounds. This is also reflected in the footfall we get in our community shop as those who have chosen to live in Tilbury have high expectations of greener pastures for themselves and their families.

Their reasons for coming to see us were for assistance with job search and finding employment, accredited training such as mental health training and food hygiene, volunteering/workplacement, CV writing, and other general enquiries such as help with writing letters, housing, ESOL, booked appointments for specific personal issues, and to pick up food parcels and dealing with energy suppliers. At least 72% hear about One Community through friends and word of mouth. The rest of the 38% is through referral from other agencies, or passing by our community centre which is a shopfront.

Public Benefit (continued)

We worked with an average of 12 volunteers on our VIP Project, and peer support mentors on the TLC Project. Many of our projects were already in progress before the covid-19 pandemic hit, and government directives required our community centre shopfront to shut. Most of the activities were not able to continue in the form we started them in, as they depended heavily on face to face interaction, whilst other projects had to be postponed or cancelled; such as the Seaside Special to Southend-On-Sea - Family Fun Day in August 2020 which we run annually with around 350 local residents in partnership with c2c Trenitalia Ltd. Some of our funders allowed us to repurpose the funds intended initially for certain projects towards needed activities to support the changing needs of the local residents due to the unprecedented time we were in. We were also able to join forces with other organisations to take some of the activities online. For example, we partnered with Reach Out for mental health, a suicide prevention service in Thurrock to get some of our TLC participants on their 8-week befriending service to individuals living with mental health problems/suicidal thoughts during the lockdown. Weekly ESOL classes as part of our Tilbury Opportunities Project (TOPPs) also went online with the support of the Thurrock Adult Community College (TACC) ESOL tutor who taught her students how to access Google Classroom on their mobile devices before the One Community Shop had to close at the end of March 2020. We continued to offer Level 2 courses from Skills Network with 8 participants registering to do courses in counselling skills, awareness in mental health problems, understanding dyslexia and other learning difficulties and Introduction to caring for children and young people. We generally made ourselves available via telephone, WhatsApp and through Facebook and Zoom technology.

The organisation had to also evaluate the financial impact of the lockdown to ensure it would be able to survive after the first six-month period of lockdown. The board of Trustees agreed for the organisation to conduct a survey amongst all stakeholders to find out what they would like to see in place after the lockdown, and also the One Community wanted to draw up a sustainability plan for the period of the lockdown. The Community shop reopened in September for two days a week and all TLC participant took part in planning the survey that was carried out in July and August to decide how we move forward.

We were the only community service opened during September 2020, as all local authority services were still shut, so we were usually inundated during the two days that we opened with people who wanted support with various issues such as hand-held support with housing needs, mental health during lockdown, bills, and general health and wellbeing.

Projects we offered to help develop the capacity and skills of local residents are:

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

One Community successfully ran two recruitment campaigns during the thick of the pandemic in April 2020 when most local employers were struggling to recruit staff to combat the increase demands for certain types of services. The DWP came to One Community to assist them in recruiting for temporary Admin roles for their Basildon and Grays Job Centre offices.

Tilbury Amazon Fulfilment Centre UK was also recruiting for Associates for their warehouse. We ran these two recruitment campaigns and supplied in excess of 50 potential candidates for our DWP contact to select from, and over 100 people were signposted to Amazon with an interview guaranteed if they mentioned One Community as their referral source.

DWP successfully recruited 14 people from the 52 potential candidates we signposted for shortlisting in April, and they started with their new contracts in June 2020. We were recommended for the Amazon covid relief funding support and received a £5K donation towards our work in the community.

The press release in May 2020 reads:

A Tilbury charity that helps people develop new skills for employment has received a donation of £5,000 from the Amazon fulfilment centre team in the town to help it continue staff training and workshops throughout the pandemic .

The donation was made after a member of the Amazon team nominated One Community to benefit from a special COVID-19 initiative as part of Amazon’s programme to support the communities around its UK operating locations.

The charity works with people and groups in and around Tilbury to develop their skills and improve their economic prospects. The charity works with people and groups in and around Tilbury to develop their skills and improve their economic prospects.

Speaking on the donation, Carlos Guijarro Benito, Site Leader at Amazon in Tilbury, said:

“We’re proud to support organisations such as One Community that are making a real difference in our community. Its staff and volunteers have been a great support to people in Tilbury during COVID-19 and we want to lend a helping hand with this donation.”

Laura Green, who nominated One Community, said :

“One Community is a charity close to my heart and I am pleased that it has been chosen to receive this donation from Amazon. I hope that it gives the staff and volunteers a boost during what continues to be a challenging year.”

We are the only independent charitable organisation in the area who serve the community as a ‘one stop shop’. Our DIY approach continues to empower people who thought they could never get out of the poverty trap, and who have very low self-esteem and no previous work experience. We continue to make an impact on newer communities to the area, as One Community is often their first point of contact for support in integrating into the local area. The strong ethos and values of the organisation which underpins our work supports the most marginalised residents in the community.

I am writing to thank you for the immeasurable support and invaluable assistance I received from One Community through Bernice for which I am very grateful and indebted. About four weeks ago I walked in to your office with heavy heart fighting two serious wars, - work related war and health related issue. I can confirm today that I have won the work war with your assistance. My employer has backed down from the inconsiderate action they intended to take. This has freed and enable me to focus on my health issue. You may not realise it but your personal experience shared with me gave me a mega hope with regards to my health issue. I will say that your organisation is a light on the dark path and helper of destiny of many people in the community. I appreciate you and your organisation. Lawrence O

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Business Development

We plan to continue to develop our Fundraising/Income generating strategy alongside a 3-5-year strategic plan that we are tagging Building the New Different after some strategic thinking during the lock down with the Board of Trustees at the end of this reporting period, and the feedback from stakeholders from the survey conducted in July and August 2020.

We are working on Building the New Different which will place an emphasis on the 3Ds: going Digital ; staying Distinguishable ; and, becoming Destructible . These are lessons we have learnt during the last 18 months and we will be working on our sustainability for the next 5 years.

The search for bigger premises continues in order to support more people with business and skills development. This will include supporting small groups and business start-ups as they are often marginalised for spaces to work from. In the meantime, we continue to work collaboratively with St John’s Church and share the donations received from the use of their premises.

Quotes from respondents during the stakeholder survey of July/August 2020

Organisational Development

The CEO and the Chair along with the board of trustees are embarking on an intensive training and development programme with the Avocado+ Accelerator Programme hosted by Money4YOU. We hope the programme will assist us to move to the next stage of our development by equipping us with tools, and the confidence to survive and thrive with financial sustainability through learning about innovative ways to help us to adapt and change, in order to continue to meet the needs of the area that is still clearly in need of all the services and activities that One Community offers. The diversification of income streams would be very crucial at this next level, and securing corporate funding over the next 3-5 years whilst maintaining a robust governance structure will be key.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

We are grateful to our partners. The work we do would not be possible without their support. They include: c2c Trenitalia, Tilbury Riverside Project, Port of Tilbury; RCCG Fruitfulland; The Gateway Learning Community Trust, Temple Springs; Thurrock Lifestyle Solutions; Thurrock Adult Community College, Thurrock Centre for Independent Living; Harlow Save Credit Union, Thurrock CVS, Thurrock Council; Thurrock Food Bank; St John’s Church, Tilbury Community Hub; Tilbury Taxis; Kinetika; Tilbury on the Thames Trust; Evewright Arts Foundation; The British Red Cross; Reach Out; The Country Food Trust, In Kind Direct.

We received financial support from: Fowler Smith & Jones Trust; Mrs Smith and Mount Trust; Peabody Community Foundation; European Union Structural and Investment Fund; Essex Community Foundation; The National Lottery Community Fund; NationaAmazon UK; CXK Ltd; European Metal Recycling Ltd; Building Connections Fund; SELEP Community Grant programme funded by European Union Social Fund, and members who donate regularly to One Community.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP FRS 102 2015) (effective January 2015).

Income for the year under review was overall some £29,455 more because we received more covid related grant income and government initiatives that was intended to support us through the detrimental effects of the loss of income due to covid on the organisation. Donations was reduced by £9,601 due to government directives that kept the One Community Shop shut for approximately 8 months of the year which impacted on the donations for use of our shop space.

At the end of the period under review unrestricted funds carried forward is £11,714 compared with £4,478 at the end of the prior year. The unrestricted funds are sufficient to cover the reserves required under the charity’s reserve policy but more restricted funds covered staff wages this reporting year due to funders allowing the repurposing of grant funding to meet the organisational needs.

Factors that could affect future financial performance would be inability to source grant funding for the work the organisation has been mandated to continue by the members. One Community has always survived due to the commitment of staff and volunteers who make sacrifices for the benefit of the organisation and their local community. Funders have also risen to the challenge of supporting the organisation financially through the covid-19 lockdowns that has helped the organisation to survive this reporting period.

Risk Management

The principal risks and uncertainties facing the organisation include the continued impact of covid-19, as social distancing will limit the use of space available for the organisation to carry out some of its work. We have, for a few years, been considering operating from larger premises but have not been able to secure an appropriate property. We are looking into other options of sharing space and doing more online digitally and virtually as we develop the capacity of the organisation to support others in this new different. This would support the organisation by enabling it to generate unrestricted income through charging for some of its services whilst giving other organisations the opportunity to work in partnership to generate surpluses. These plans will be at the forefront of the organisation’s sustainability strategy for managing the risks.

The trustees recognise that the charity is dependent on receiving sufficient grant funding to be able to continue its activities at the current level and, apart from the costs covered by the reserves mentioned below, the charity does not commit to expenditure until grant funding has been received.

Going Concern

The accounts for the charity are prepared on a going concern basis because demand for the services provided to the local community continues as evidenced by the surveys undertaken to monitor our social impact.

The trustees expect that future funding applications will generate sufficient funds to enable the charity to continue its operations and are therefore of the opinion that the charity is a going concern. This position is supported by a detailed budget.

At the date of this report the budget indicates that, taking into account income from known funding sources, sufficient funds will be available until March 2023.
