Dear Trustees

Points for consideration on accounting and compliance issues

Following our independent examination of your financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023, we are writing to bring to your attention some matters which may be of relevance to your charity for your consideration. We hope you will find them helpful.

Accounting

Recording of transactions – The accounting records provided were very well maintained ensuring our examination went smoothly. Our gratitude to the Trustees and to Toyin Olubajo for her work and support through the process of carrying out our examination.

Accounting software - To improve efficiency and streamline the payroll and accounting systems, management accepted our recommendation to adopt and accounting software. Consequently, the accounting records were transferred to the Quickbooks accounting software from 1 July 2023 and the payroll will be transferred from the new tax year commencing April 2024.

Governance and compliance

“My Charity Commission Account” – The new Charity Commission Account went live on 31 July 2023. Charity trustees and their connections/contacts are now only able to access online services through individual Charity Commission accounts. The Commission should have sent links (via email) to all charity contacts and/or to the Chair to facilitate registration and user access. Relevant individuals in the charity should set up their accounts as soon as possible, if they have not done so already.

The Charity Commission had a lot of teething problems with the new system but it appears these have now been resolved. Please contact the Charity Commission via this link if you have not got the information required to set up the individual account or need further assistance. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/setting-up-my-charity-commission-account

Charity Annual Return 2023 – In March 2023, the Commission published a guide to its Annual Return 2023. All charities with income over £25,000 are now required to answer a minimum 32 questions, representing a significant increase for charities with income under £250,000. These new questions cover aspects of:

The Commission now also requires charities to confirm the policies and procedures they have in place from a standard list. Although the list highlights 14 different policies and procedures, they expect most charities should have the following:

Trustees should ensure all policies relevant to their charities are put in place as soon as possible. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/charity-annual-return-2023-question-guide/charityannual-return-2023-question-guide

Other issues

South African charity

We understand that Treasures is setting up a related charity in South Africa and that appropriate professional support has been sought to ensure it is properly established as an entity, separate from the UK charity.

Trustees should ensure that the legal structure and relationship with the South African entity is clearly defined and documented. They should continue to obtain legal and other professional advice as required, to guard against problems arising in future.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information.

Yours sincerely

Welcome from the Chair and CEO

We are delighted to present our latest Annual Report, detailing the progress we have made over the last year and the impact that Treasures’ services are having on the lives of the women we support.

It has been a tough year at times, particularly due to the cost of living rising. This said, we value our workers wholeheartedly and have been able to raise their wages slightly to show how much we appreciate their ongoing commitment and the pressures that they are under. We also lost our fundraiser and it has proven difficult to retain somebody. This however, has not stopped the amazing work we do and we are feeling hopeful for our upcoming interviews.

We are ecstatic to say that we are paying four of our beneficiaries permitted work, moving on from their role as volunteers. It is lovely to see their development, and how they are growing in to their professional role.

As always, one of our main focusses is health and wellbeing. Our staff and beneficiaries continue to receive therapy on an ongoing basis as we recognise there is no time frame in healing from trauma. As part of our staff wellbeing package we have also introduced group therapy in addition to their one to one supervisions.

The day program is well underway and consists of a whole range of diverse topics. To enable this to happen, three of our staff qualified in level 3 counselling and next year we will put even more staff through. Our staff have also trained in The Freedom Program, a domestic violence recovery course, and as our staff are all in recovery themselves, they use their expertise and experience to deliver specialised groups of sensitive topics such as a sex working recovery group. This year we have had a number of young people come through our houses and we recognise there is a need for them to have groups specific for their age. As always, we see each beneficiary as the unique individuals they are, and will always prioritise their individual needs. We also have in house safeguarding and mental health training for all our staff. We are thrilled to announce that we are currently undergoing silver award trauma informed accreditation to really highlight and acknowledge how we are delivering trauma informed practice.

We have continued to work in partnership with prisons and probation services, the mental health team, social services and drug and alcohol teams. The probation have really heard us and now come to us to see the women we support. This is a massive step forward for us, as it enables the women to remain in a safe environment, away from potentially seeing old associates and we are grateful that this partnership continues to thrive.

Our beneficiaries have really embraced their peer support group and it has taken off in the way of them organising the group and taking minutes. This gives us a clear indication of what can be improved or needs to change and it gives them a sense of leadership and involvement on the running of Treasures. As a result of this group they are setting up their own fundraising event and are chuffed to be able to give back to Treasures. Our beneficiaries also hand made Christmas cards to send to our supporters as a small act of gratitude.

Finally, we would like to express how grateful we are to all our supporters, whose funding enables Treasures to carry on supporting vulnerable women to find their own treasures within.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

About Treasures Foundation

Our mission

To transform lives by breaking the cycle of addiction and offending, enabling vulnerable women to reach their full potential and go on to lead a productive and independent life.

Treasures Foundation was established in 2009 by our founder, Mandy Ogunmokun. Motivated by her own lived experience, her time spent in prison and her recovery journey, Mandy embarked on a life’s mission to understand, support and guide vulnerable women with complex needs.

Today, our first stage houses in East London, provide a loving home and wraparound support to up to nine women, who might otherwise be homeless and four women in our move on properties.

Our Ethos Statement

We believe that within each woman we work with, there are hidden treasures that have been covered up with the circumstances of life, trauma and drug addiction.

We believe that what is hidden in the dark will come to light and we support women to find that light.

Our aim is to break the cycles of addiction and offending behaviour by delivering a service that makes a real difference to real lives. We help individuals recover from substance misuse to shape and sustain positive and rewarding lives.

We achieve our mission by listening carefully to each individual and responding to their situation with honesty and understanding, love and forgiveness.

We promote equality and diversity – we always engage equally with vulnerable women, their families and communities irrespective of their age, ethnicity, faith, sexuality or social background.

We are non-judgemental – we believe that everyone deserves a second chance, irrespective of their mistake, crime or misdemeanour. Women who want support, should receive it.

We are supportive – we treat everyone fairly with respect, care and compassion. We are driven by a recognition that each woman has an intrinsic value as a unique individual and we are committed to enabling them to realise their value and reach their full potential.

We are community-led – we listen to our beneficiaries and their voices inform our all our work. We work alongside our women.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

The year in numbers

We work in a trauma informed way, supporting the complex needs of women often with mental health needs/dual diagnosis. Although we have a structured framework, this takes a holistic approach and we work within this to meet each individuals needs.

We understand that recovery from trauma cannot be given a timeframe, therefore we do not place time limitations on the length of time somebody can access our services.

We value our staff and recognise the importance of looking after them too. Conflicts are resolved through transparency and prompt addressing. We do this through practicing open mindedness and humility and doing continual work on ourselves, in order to prioritise the women we support.

Our services:

----- End of picture text -----

Treasures creates a unique provision in London, by providing suitable and safe accommodation, female-only support, drug/alcohol abstinence work and caters for women of any age, who want to be helped.

Most of our beneficiaries come from chaotic backgrounds, have experienced trauma and abuse and have mental health problems. Those that arrive from the prison setting may have also lost their own housing, during their sentence.

We work alongside these women to help them heal and develop the skills they need to thrive. Breaking the cycle of addiction and offending behaviour not only results in better outcomes for those individuals, but also positively impacts the wider community through a reduction in crime, antisocial behaviour and homelessness.

“We believe that within every woman there is a hidden treasure that has been buried through life circumstances and distorted belief systems. Treasures Foundation provides a loving environment for the women to feel safe enough to allow the gem in them to sparkle ” Mandy Ogunmokun, CEO and Founder

Highlights from 2022-2023

Sleep out for Treasures

Our beneficiaries braved the cold and slept in a tent on the streets, to fundraise for Treasures which funded for them to be able to go to a convention in Blackpool.

“It was such an experience. It really humbled me and gave me an idea of what people out there go through on a daily basis. It also reminded me where I have come from and where I am now.’’ Resident 2022

Learning to give back

One of our former residents has developed a passion for charitable work and regularly volunteers with a dog rescue centre. She hiked 50 miles of the Lake District raising funds for the charity she supports.

‘It was the best trip of my life. One of the best things I have ever done.’’ Former resident 2023

Creating safe spaces to promote self-care and well-being

At Treasures Foundation we have had the pleasure of a number of volunteers supporting the work we do. Our volunteer hairdresser comes every couple of months to give the women receive treatments that they otherwise might not be able to afford. We also continue to provide holistic therapy and nutrition support, ensuring our residents have the ability to build healthy relationships with themselves and their bodies.

“Until I came to Treasures I did not know how to be kind to my body. The treatment I receive is life changing.” Resident 2023

Newham partnership

Our CEO is creating strong links and partnerships with Newham Council and has the pleasure of being on the steering committee for Newham sex working strategy. We are excited for the change we believe this will bring about for women.

‘’This work is vital. Every woman deserves a chance to turn her life around and be treated with dignity and respect. This strategy is paving the way for this to happen.’’ CEO 2023

Resident Stories

Vera* moved into Treasures Foundation, through self-referral, after 8 months of residential stays in 3 different rehabs, due to her behaviour, she was transferred from Sheffield to Liverpool to London.

Vera had very little contact with her family who consisted of her mother and brothers. Her father passed away whilst she was still using in 2015. She had no contact with her mother for 17 years until the day her father passed away. Vera did not have a good relationship with her mother and was very angry with her for failure to be a mother to her whilst growing up. All Vera ever wanted was her mother to be her ‘Mum’. Vera displayed challenging behaviour when she first arrived at Treasures Foundation. She did not know how to be around people, was afraid and did not trust anyone. People had never been nice, kind, or caring until she met the staff at Treasures. It took a while to settle in.

Support received from Treasures Foundation

Outcomes following support from Treasures Foundation

“I got my first birthday cake in Treasures when I was 50 years old. I’d never had a birthday cake before. I now have a passport and bank account. I’ve been to Croatia and South Africa. I lived at Treasures houses for 6 years. Now I live in one of the ‘move on’ flats. I work at Treasures two days and one night a week. I never thought I’d get away from drugs and alcohol. The life I have today is amazing. Recovery is not easy; it’s been difficult but without Treasures I would not be alive. Treasures saved my life. It’s a special place that does amazing work.’’ Vera, move on resident 2023

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Financial Review cont…

Income in the year was £478,305 (2022: £385,208), a 24.2% rise over the previous year. The main source of income in the year continues to be local authority housing benefits and various grants from corporate bodies and charitable trusts. Multi-year funding from City Bridge Foundation, Henry Smith Charity, AB Charitable Trust, The Tudor Trust, and The National Lottery Community Fund. Further funding was provided by Peter Stebbings Memorial Trust, The Southall Trust, Clothworkers, The P27 Trust, Help The Homeless, The VINCI UK Foundation, The Postcode Society Trust, Albert Hunt, Nationwide, The Fat Beehive Foundation, Hailey London Housing Foundation, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Lottery Awards for All, Stay Free Foundation, Big Give Trust Tampon Tax Community Fund and GSK Impact Awards. Additional funds were obtained for Camp Joy in South Africa following the fundraising event in the previous year. Local authority housing benefit receipts and other rental income were also a significant part of income in the year and accounted for £254,064 (2022: £89,595) of income.

Expenditure was £423,050 (2022: £310,816), 53% (2022: 63%) of which related to staff costs for the delivery of services. The overall surplus in the year was £55,255 (2022: £74,392).

Investment powers and policy

The trustees have the powers to make investments on behalf of the charity as they see fit. The Trustees’ assessment of the current risk profile, including its level of free reserves indicate that investments should be held in low-risk assets. Consequently, all investments are currently held in bank account balances.

Reserves policy

Trustees are aware of the need to have a reserves policy to pay rent, salaries and other costs should the need arise. Our aim in 2022-2023 was to continue to hold ‘free reserves’ (unrestricted general reserves not tied into fixed assets) of at least 3 months expenditure, and to work towards building 6 months expenditure. This equates to approximately £104,206. This policy will be reviewed annually.

At the year end, total reserves were £284,387 (2022: £229,132) of which £34,141 were restricted funds. £250,246 was held in unrestricted funds of which £68,268 was designated and general reserves were £181,978. Free reserves were £171,020.

Risk Management

The trustees have identified the key risks faced by the charity and have taken appropriate steps to mitigate these risks. This issue is regularly revisited by the trustees to ensure that any new risks are identified and suitably addressed.

Going Concern

Trustees confirm that they have assessed the going concern position of the charity and based on ongoing plans, have reasonable assurance that the charity will continue to exist as a going concern for the foreseeable future. This exercise has included consideration of the current sources of funding, plans to diversify sources of income with the continued employment of a fundraiser and more effective cost management.

Trustee’s Report

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Future Plans

Future Plans

Our work with Newham council continues, although there have been some delays with the land, our plan for a detox setting is finally coming into fruition with hopefully a date for September 2024. This will give us the opportunity to offer a three tier transformation setting with detox, first stage housing and move on opportunities.

Treasures does not have any restrictions on where we take referrals from within the country which opens our referral pathway up hugely. We recognise that the need for our services does not hold any boundaries. We are in the process of purchasing a property in Hull, which will enable us to expand our provision massively to those in great need.

Treasures will soon be delivering groups within the prison settings on a more regular basis. These will include domestic violence recovery and sex working recovery. This is a massive achievement for Treasures as we are able to share our expertise and continue to build strong networks with the criminal justice system.

We pride ourselves in encouraging our beneficiaries to become productive, meaningful members of society. Our external relationships have now extended to a local college who will provide opportunities for the women we support to undertake courses and enhance their skills.

We are so excited for what the future holds for Treasures Foundation and will continue to work hard to deliver our unique and outstanding services.

Trustee’s Report - 12 -

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Independent Examiner’s Report

I report on the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2023.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and regulations made under section 154 of the Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charitable company’s gross income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1.Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (second edition effective 1 January 2019)', the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. Future fundraising and contingency plans indicate that the charity will be able to meet its financial obligations in the immediate future.

1.2. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

1.3. Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, there is probability of receipt and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, except as follows:

When donors specify that income is for a particular restricted purpose which does not amount to preconditions regarding entitlement, the income is recognised as income when receivable.

Donated goods, facilities and discounts are measured and included in the accounts on the basis of the value the charity would pay in the open market for an alternative item providing a benefit to the charity equivalent to the donated item. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Income from investments is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is received.

1.4. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Support costs which cannot be directly attributed to particular projects are apportioned in proportion to the direct staff cost allocated to the project. Governance costs, which form part of Support costs include expenditure on the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable expenditure consists of all expenditure relating to the objects of the Charity.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023

1.5. Pension schemes

The charity operates a defined Contribution Pension Scheme for its employees. The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charity during the year.

1.6. Tangible fixed assets

Fixed asset additions below £500 (£100 up to June 2017) are not categorised as capital but are included in payments in the year under an appropriate heading. Fixed Assets are shown in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost/value, less anticipated residual value, over the expected useful lives of assets as follows:

Fixtures and fittings – 25% straight line Computer Equipment – 25% straight line

1.7. Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due can be measured reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.8. Statement of cash flows

As a small charity, Treasures Foundation is exempt from the requirement to produce a Statement of Cash Flows.

Welcome from the Chair and CEO

We are delighted to present our latest Annual Report, detailing the progress we have made over the last year and the impact that Treasures’ services are having on the lives of the women we support.

It has been a tough year at times, particularly due to the cost of living rising. This said, we value our workers wholeheartedly and have been able to raise their wages slightly to show how much we appreciate their ongoing commitment and the pressures that they are under. We also lost our fundraiser and it has proven difficult to retain somebody. This however, has not stopped the amazing work we do and we are feeling hopeful for our upcoming interviews.

We are ecstatic to say that we are paying four of our beneficiaries permitted work, moving on from their role as volunteers. It is lovely to see their development, and how they are growing in to their professional role.

As always, one of our main focusses is health and wellbeing. Our staff and beneficiaries continue to receive therapy on an ongoing basis as we recognise there is no time frame in healing from trauma. As part of our staff wellbeing package we have also introduced group therapy in addition to their one to one supervisions.

The day program is well underway and consists of a whole range of diverse topics. To enable this to happen, three of our staff qualified in level 3 counselling and next year we will put even more staff through. Our staff have also trained in The Freedom Program, a domestic violence recovery course, and as our staff are all in recovery themselves, they use their expertise and experience to deliver specialised groups of sensitive topics such as a sex working recovery group. This year we have had a number of young people come through our houses and we recognise there is a need for them to have groups specific for their age. As always, we see each beneficiary as the unique individuals they are, and will always prioritise their individual needs. We also have in house safeguarding and mental health training for all our staff. We are thrilled to announce that we are currently undergoing silver award trauma informed accreditation to really highlight and acknowledge how we are delivering trauma informed practice.

We have continued to work in partnership with prisons and probation services, the mental health team, social services and drug and alcohol teams. The probation have really heard us and now come to us to see the women we support. This is a massive step forward for us, as it enables the women to remain in a safe environment, away from potentially seeing old associates and we are grateful that this partnership continues to thrive.

Our beneficiaries have really embraced their peer support group and it has taken off in the way of them organising the group and taking minutes. This gives us a clear indication of what can be improved or needs to change and it gives them a sense of leadership and involvement on the running of Treasures. As a result of this group they are setting up their own fundraising event and are chuffed to be able to give back to Treasures. Our beneficiaries also hand made Christmas cards to send to our supporters as a small act of gratitude.

Finally, we would like to express how grateful we are to all our supporters, whose funding enables Treasures to carry on supporting vulnerable women to find their own treasures within.

About Treasures Foundation

Our mission

To transform lives by breaking the cycle of addiction and offending, enabling vulnerable women to reach their full potential and go on to lead a productive and independent life.

Treasures Foundation was established in 2009 by our founder, Mandy Ogunmokun. Motivated by her own lived experience, her time spent in prison and her recovery journey, Mandy embarked on a life’s mission to understand, support and guide vulnerable women with complex needs.

Today, our first stage houses in East London, provide a loving home and wraparound support to up to nine women, who might otherwise be homeless and four women in our move on properties.

Our Ethos Statement

We believe that within each woman we work with, there are hidden treasures that have been covered up with the circumstances of life, trauma and drug addiction.

We believe that what is hidden in the dark will come to light and we support women to find that light.

Our aim is to break the cycles of addiction and offending behaviour by delivering a service that makes a real difference to real lives. We help individuals recover from substance misuse to shape and sustain positive and rewarding lives.

We achieve our mission by listening carefully to each individual and responding to their situation with honesty and understanding, love and forgiveness.

We promote equality and diversity – we always engage equally with vulnerable women, their families and communities irrespective of their age, ethnicity, faith, sexuality or social background.

We are non-judgemental – we believe that everyone deserves a second chance, irrespective of their mistake, crime or misdemeanour. Women who want support, should receive it.

We are supportive – we treat everyone fairly with respect, care and compassion. We are driven by a recognition that each woman has an intrinsic value as a unique individual and we are committed to enabling them to realise their value and reach their full potential.

We are community-led – we listen to our beneficiaries and their voices inform our all our work. We work alongside our women.

The year in numbers

We work in a trauma informed way, supporting the complex needs of women often with mental health needs/dual diagnosis. Although we have a structured framework, this takes a holistic approach and we work within this to meet each individuals needs.

We understand that recovery from trauma cannot be given a timeframe, therefore we do not place time limitations on the length of time somebody can access our services.

We value our staff and recognise the importance of looking after them too. Conflicts are resolved through transparency and prompt addressing. We do this through practicing open mindedness and humility and doing continual work on ourselves, in order to prioritise the women we support.

Our services:

----- End of picture text -----

Treasures creates a unique provision in London, by providing suitable and safe accommodation, female-only support, drug/alcohol abstinence work and caters for women of any age, who want to be helped.

Most of our beneficiaries come from chaotic backgrounds, have experienced trauma and abuse and have mental health problems. Those that arrive from the prison setting may have also lost their own housing, during their sentence.

We work alongside these women to help them heal and develop the skills they need to thrive. Breaking the cycle of addiction and offending behaviour not only results in better outcomes for those individuals, but also positively impacts the wider community through a reduction in crime, antisocial behaviour and homelessness.

“We believe that within every woman there is a hidden treasure that has been buried through life circumstances and distorted belief systems. Treasures Foundation provides a loving environment for the women to feel safe enough to allow the gem in them to sparkle ” Mandy Ogunmokun, CEO and Founder

Highlights from 2022-2023

Sleep out for Treasures

Our beneficiaries braved the cold and slept in a tent on the streets, to fundraise for Treasures which funded for them to be able to go to a convention in Blackpool.

“It was such an experience. It really humbled me and gave me an idea of what people out there go through on a daily basis. It also reminded me where I have come from and where I am now.’’ Resident 2022

Learning to give back

One of our former residents has developed a passion for charitable work and regularly volunteers with a dog rescue centre. She hiked 50 miles of the Lake District raising funds for the charity she supports.

‘It was the best trip of my life. One of the best things I have ever done.’’ Former resident 2023

Creating safe spaces to promote self-care and well-being

At Treasures Foundation we have had the pleasure of a number of volunteers supporting the work we do. Our volunteer hairdresser comes every couple of months to give the women receive treatments that they otherwise might not be able to afford. We also continue to provide holistic therapy and nutrition support, ensuring our residents have the ability to build healthy relationships with themselves and their bodies.

“Until I came to Treasures I did not know how to be kind to my body. The treatment I receive is life changing.” Resident 2023

Newham partnership

Our CEO is creating strong links and partnerships with Newham Council and has the pleasure of being on the steering committee for Newham sex working strategy. We are excited for the change we believe this will bring about for women.

‘’This work is vital. Every woman deserves a chance to turn her life around and be treated with dignity and respect. This strategy is paving the way for this to happen.’’ CEO 2023

Resident Stories

Vera* moved into Treasures Foundation, through self-referral, after 8 months of residential stays in 3 different rehabs, due to her behaviour, she was transferred from Sheffield to Liverpool to London.

Vera had very little contact with her family who consisted of her mother and brothers. Her father passed away whilst she was still using in 2015. She had no contact with her mother for 17 years until the day her father passed away. Vera did not have a good relationship with her mother and was very angry with her for failure to be a mother to her whilst growing up. All Vera ever wanted was her mother to be her ‘Mum’. Vera displayed challenging behaviour when she first arrived at Treasures Foundation. She did not know how to be around people, was afraid and did not trust anyone. People had never been nice, kind, or caring until she met the staff at Treasures. It took a while to settle in.

“I got my first birthday cake in Treasures when I was 50 years old. I’d never had a birthday cake before. I now have a passport and bank account. I’ve been to Croatia and South Africa. I lived at Treasures houses for 6 years. Now I live in one of the ‘move on’ flats. I work at Treasures two days and one night a week. I never thought I’d get away from drugs and alcohol. The life I have today is amazing. Recovery is not easy; it’s been difficult but without Treasures I would not be alive. Treasures saved my life. It’s a special place that does amazing work.’’ Vera, move on resident 2023

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The charitable company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 17 June 2009.

Recruitment and appointment, training, and induction of Trustees

The Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Article of Association.

Trustees are assigned an area of interest and work has been conducted on developing role descriptions to set boundaries and responsibilities. Training is provided on an ongoing basis for Trustees via Flick and NCVO.

Prospective trustees are sent induction materials which includes links to the duties of a Trustee, the accounts and constitution documents. They are invited to a Trustee meeting as a non-voting guest providing the opportunity for both sides to ask questions. Trustees then vote on whether they would like to offer the position of trustee to the candidate subject to references and checks. This vote is decided by the majority. Checks include the Trustee's ability to sign the Fit and Proper person's Declaration and the Charity Commission Declaration.

Organisational structure

The trustees oversee the running of the charity. To fulfil this responsibility, meetings were held every two months, with ad hoc meetings as required. Day-today operations are delegated to the Chief Executive Officer.

Related Parties:

The trustees and staff constitute the main related parties. The trustees are not aware of the existence of any other related parties.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees (who are also directors of Treasures Foundation for the purposes 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).

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Financial Review cont…

Income in the year was £478,305 (2022: £385,208), a 24.2% rise over the previous year. The main source of income in the year continues to be local authority housing benefits and various grants from corporate bodies and charitable trusts. Multi-year funding from City Bridge Foundation, Henry Smith Charity, AB Charitable Trust, The Tudor Trust, and The National Lottery Community Fund. Further funding was provided by Peter Stebbings Memorial Trust, The Southall Trust, Clothworkers, The P27 Trust, Help The Homeless, The VINCI UK Foundation, The Postcode Society Trust, Albert Hunt, Nationwide, The Fat Beehive Foundation, Hailey London Housing Foundation, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Lottery Awards for All, Stay Free Foundation, Big Give Trust Tampon Tax Community Fund and GSK Impact Awards. Additional funds were obtained for Camp Joy in South Africa following the fundraising event in the previous year. Local authority housing benefit receipts and other rental income were also a significant part of income in the year and accounted for £254,064 (2022: £89,595) of income.

Expenditure was £423,050 (2022: £310,816), 53% (2022: 63%) of which related to staff costs for the delivery of services. The overall surplus in the year was £55,255 (2022: £74,392).

Investment powers and policy

The trustees have the powers to make investments on behalf of the charity as they see fit. The Trustees’ assessment of the current risk profile, including its level of free reserves indicate that investments should be held in low-risk assets. Consequently, all investments are currently held in bank account balances.

Reserves policy

Trustees are aware of the need to have a reserves policy to pay rent, salaries and other costs should the need arise. Our aim in 2022-2023 was to continue to hold ‘free reserves’ (unrestricted general reserves not tied into fixed assets) of at least 3 months expenditure, and to work towards building 6 months expenditure. This equates to approximately £104,206. This policy will be reviewed annually.

At the year end, total reserves were £284,387 (2022: £229,132) of which £34,141 were restricted funds. £250,246 was held in unrestricted funds of which £68,268 was designated and general reserves were £181,978. Free reserves were £171,020.

Risk Management

The trustees have identified the key risks faced by the charity and have taken appropriate steps to mitigate these risks. This issue is regularly revisited by the trustees to ensure that any new risks are identified and suitably addressed.

Going Concern

Trustees confirm that they have assessed the going concern position of the charity and based on ongoing plans, have reasonable assurance that the charity will continue to exist as a going concern for the foreseeable future. This exercise has included consideration of the current sources of funding, plans to diversify sources of income with the continued employment of a fundraiser and more effective cost management.

Future Plans

Future Plans

Our work with Newham council continues, although there have been some delays with the land, our plan for a detox setting is finally coming into fruition with hopefully a date for September 2024. This will give us the opportunity to offer a three tier transformation setting with detox, first stage housing and move on opportunities.

Treasures does not have any restrictions on where we take referrals from within the country which opens our referral pathway up hugely. We recognise that the need for our services does not hold any boundaries. We are in the process of purchasing a property in Hull, which will enable us to expand our provision massively to those in great need.

Treasures will soon be delivering groups within the prison settings on a more regular basis. These will include domestic violence recovery and sex working recovery. This is a massive achievement for Treasures as we are able to share our expertise and continue to build strong networks with the criminal justice system.

We pride ourselves in encouraging our beneficiaries to become productive, meaningful members of society. Our external relationships have now extended to a local college who will provide opportunities for the women we support to undertake courses and enhance their skills.

We are so excited for what the future holds for Treasures Foundation and will continue to work hard to deliver our unique and outstanding services.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Independent Examiner’s Report

I report on the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 30 June 2023.

This report is made solely to the charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) and regulations made under section 154 of the Act. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's Trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charitable company’s gross income exceeded £250,000, your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

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

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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.

The accompanying notes form an integral part of these financial statements.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1.Basis of accounting

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (second edition effective 1 January 2019)', the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The trustees consider there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements have therefore been prepared on a going concern basis. Future fundraising and contingency plans indicate that the charity will be able to meet its financial obligations in the immediate future.

1.2. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.

1.3. Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income, there is probability of receipt and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, except as follows:

When donors specify that income is for a particular restricted purpose which does not amount to preconditions regarding entitlement, the income is recognised as income when receivable.

Donated goods, facilities and discounts are measured and included in the accounts on the basis of the value the charity would pay in the open market for an alternative item providing a benefit to the charity equivalent to the donated item. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Income from investments is included in the Statement of Financial Activities in the year in which it is received.

1.4. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Support costs which cannot be directly attributed to particular projects are apportioned in proportion to the direct staff cost allocated to the project. Governance costs, which form part of Support costs include expenditure on the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Charitable expenditure consists of all expenditure relating to the objects of the Charity.

Treasures Foundation – 30 June 2023 Annual Accounts

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023

1.5. Pension schemes

The charity operates a defined Contribution Pension Scheme for its employees. The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charity during the year.

1.6. Tangible fixed assets

Fixed asset additions below £500 (£100 up to June 2017) are not categorised as capital but are included in payments in the year under an appropriate heading. Fixed Assets are shown in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost/value, less anticipated residual value, over the expected useful lives of assets as follows:

Fixtures and fittings – 25% straight line Computer Equipment – 25% straight line

1.7. Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due can be measured reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.8. Statement of cash flows

As a small charity, Treasures Foundation is exempt from the requirement to produce a Statement of Cash Flows.
