## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Chair’s Introduction** 

2021 has been about building capacity, growing and diversifying our team, tightening up our operations and significantly expanding our activities offer. Through our advice and support, we have focused on working with partners to explore two key issues that significantly affect our centre members: housing and health.  We now have a specialist caseworker in both areas. 

This summary cannot do justice to the full range of what we do but as a snapshot in 2021 we: 

- Delivered 3,920 distinct pieces of **welfare casework** covering health, housing, asylum issues, debt and 

- poverty, education, benefits, new arrivals to the area, destitution. 

- Completed 74 **immigration** specialist cases, including a **new Family Reunion service** in partnership 

- with Sheffield Hallam University. 

- Gave out 10,856 free **homecooked meals** through our Welcome Café, which has remained a takeaway 

- as opposed to eating in. Over the year 324 different centre members came for food and we see an average of 30 centre members each day we provide food. 

- 47 voluntary tutors delivered 3,717 hours of **English Language provision** to approx. 200 different people 

- in 2021 through a mix of online, outdoor and finally indoors sessions. Most of this has been group sessions, though further one to one support has been supplied to 23 people. By the end of the year, we were offering 15 classes a week. 

- We have significantly increased the range of **sports, arts, trips and events** in 2021, with some 520 

- people taking part.  We have worked with partners such as Opera North, Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, Northern Broadsides Theatre Company and many local sports clubs to widen access to many different activities and strengthen integration. 

During the year we have brought more people with lived experience of migration and the asylum system into all parts of the organisation.  We are particularly proud of having recruited five people with lived experience into the staff and board teams.  In our team of volunteers we have 77 centre members who have sought sanctuary in Calderdale and 122 non centre members. We ran an open process to recruit more trustees and were delighted to recruit six talented new trustees who bring a wide range of experience and knowledge to the board, including experience of seeking sanctuary in the UK. 

After 52 years of operation, we had to take the decision to close our nursery in 2021. It was a poignant moment in the history of St Augustine’s Centre, and we thank the excellent nursery staff for their hard work and dedication over the years.  But it has also been an opportunity to utilise the space differently and we now have a dedicated English language room and a fantastic space used for a wide range of activities in the Community Building. 

The tragic situation in Afghanistan in 2021 meant we needed to respond to the worries of people from Afghanistan living in Calderdale (as best we could). We have worked with partner organisations to raise awareness of the experiences of people seeking sanctuary and campaigned with partners for a better deal for all migrants, for a fairer immigration system and for changes in the Government’s Nationality and Borders Bill. As I write this, the tragic situation in Ukraine means that once again the organisation is looking at what it can do to support and respond, alongside our local partners. 

Use of hotels by the Home Office to house people seeking asylum, had already begun during 2020 and we have seen that increase. Over Christmas 2021, 108 family members were housed in a second hotel in Calderdale, and we continued to respond to the needs of that community in 2022. 

We won two prestigious awards through the Community Foundation for Calderdale, one for ‘Best Organisation to ‘Go Over and Above During Covid’, and one for a key volunteer Nawroz who leads our tech lab work. 

As always, we are hugely proud that through collaborative efforts by Trustees, staff, volunteers, partners, funders and donors, we have supported over 750 centre users with a wide ranging of needs and increasingly involved them in the running of St Augustine’s Centre.  Thanks as ever to all our funders. I would like to pay special tribute to our excellent and committed staff group, led by our brilliant Director Sara, who continue to do incredible work and make a massive difference to the lives of our centre members and our community.

## St. Augustine's Centre, Halifax 

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Operational Overview** 

## **Strategy** 

The Trustees keep the vision, and the strategy for the delivery of that vision, under regular review. One of the key attributes of the Centre is the ability to respond to the needs of those who use our services; the flexibility this requires necessitates a correspondingly flexible approach.  This has been severely tested in 2020/1 but we have adapted successfully. 

## **Board Membership** 

The Trustees keep under review the number of Board members and the mix of skills and experience they can offer. The full Board had 5 scheduled meetings throughout the year to consider a wide range of issues plus “away days” to deal with more strategic discussions. 

We appointed six new Trustees at the AGM in September 2021 following a rigorous process.  This includes people with experience of the Asylum process thereby increasing our knowledge base.  At the same time we said goodbye to Iman Al Harathi and our long term Chair Rev John Hellewell who has taken a role outside of the area. 

The Trustees also regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed with systems or procedures being put in place to mitigate them. The most significant external risk is linked to availability of funding to support our work. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects.  Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, users and visitors to the Centre. 

## **Staffing** 

The dedication and hard work of the staff over the last 2 years has been outstanding in what were unprecedented circumstances.  At the end of the summer term our Nursery closed and our remaining 3 members of staff left to take on roles at other organisations. As always there have been several new staff appointed during the year while others left.  We appreciate the contribution made by everybody who worked for the Centre in 2021. 

## **Volunteers** 

Volunteers are essential to St. Augustine’s Centre and the work that we do; without them we could not continue to meet the high demand for our services. We now have strong teams of volunteers across ESOL, the Welcome Programme, Employability Programme and Welcome Café (to name just a few) who dedicate their time to support and deliver an excellent service. We continue to encourage our Centre Users to volunteer at the Centre, it being a fantastic opportunity to form social groups, learn English and use their skills (as well as learning new ones!) The improvement that this makes to an individual’s overall mental health and wellbeing is significant. 

## **Training** 

We continued to provide staff, volunteers and Centre Members with training opportunities and to prepare for college and work. With partners we provide training courses for Centre Users, such as First Aid and Food Hygiene Courses. 

## **Partnerships** 

These are an important way that we provide our Centre Members with opportunities for different experiences. We also have key partners that we work with in helping our Centre Members. Our sincere thanks go to all those organisations who have helped the Centre in 2021.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Financial Overview** 

## **Funding** 

Total income continues to rise as we engage with more partners at £530,612 (2020: £460,958). The amount of unrestricted income increased significantly to £132,630 (2020: £104,028) while restricted income rose to £397,982 (2020: £356,930).  As a result of additional services our expenditure also increased to £475,812 (2020: £332,718).  This resulted in restricted reserves of £13,425 (2020: £63,064) as per the Statement of Financial Activities. Unrestricted reserves increased significantly again by £41,375 (2020: £65,176). 

With the appointment of our Centre Director Sara in March 2020 there has been a significant increase in the number of funders and amount of funding.  She has established strong relationships with a number of funders who have offered us substantial support at a time when many charities have seen their income fall significantly. The number of organisations we have received grants from increased in 2021 and we continue to pursue other possibilities.  We are grateful to all organisations who have supported us in 2021 and as always to our longterm partners, Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council and Community Foundation for Calderdale (CFfC). There has also been significant support from Barrow Cadbury Trust, Lloyds Foundation, both financial and physical, plus funding over 3 years from both The Tudor Trust and Henry Smith Charity.  We also have a new partnership working with Sheffield Hallam University on Family Reunion. 

The ongoing support from individuals and local organisations who provide our unrestricted funds are vital to the Centre’s ongoing activities and we are very grateful that this continues to grow. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The charity’s total reserves at the year-end were £213,648 (2020: £158,868) of which £107,777 (2020: £66,422) were unrestricted.  The Board of Trustees has agreed to maintain a reserve level equivalent to not less than 3 months’ running costs and to increase that to £100,000, which we have done in 2021, then to keep it at that level going forward. 

## **Investment Policy** 

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment 

## **COVID 19** 

The charitable sector has been hit hard by the effects of COVID 19, affecting their ability to deliver services and raise the funds necessary to operate.  St Augustines has not been immune to this, but we have managed to keep our support operating in a safe way, more remotely than pre COVID.  The organisations funding our frontline work have all been supportive of this so there has been no gap in funding.  Where we have had reduced income from fund raising events this has been more than covered from other sources.  Adapting to COVID has incurred additional costs but we have received several grants towards this, so this has not been an additional burden financially. The challenge will come in future years as COVID emergency funding isn’t available, needs increase and organisations will be competing for limited funding.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Future plans and priorities** 

In 2021 we continued to increase our Donor base from all sources and finished the year in a much healthier financial position.  Despite the continuing problems from the pandemic in the first half of 2021 we have had unprecedented support. 

 Having rebuilt our reserves by the end of 2021 we need to ensure that this continues at a sustainable level.  Continuing to explore all avenues for potential funding remains one of our main priorities.  To this end we have a small team of staff and Trustees who concentrate on this. 

 Regular donations are an important part of our unrestricted income and to try and keep this growing we are looking at the different platforms that are available.  As part of that we are going to upgrade our website to make it easy to donate. 

 As the needs of our beneficiaries continue to grow, we need to increase and expand our income streams from sources that will support those aims, so that we can continue to respond in a positive way. 

 We are fortunate in having around 200 volunteers who support our work, and we will look to provide them with more targeted support and access to more opportunities to improve their skills. We will continue to encourage our centre members to be part of this team. 

- We are clear we want to become increasingly user led and will prioritize the appointment of staff, 

- volunteers and Trustees with experience of the asylum process. 

- We will continue with campaigning work to share the stories and experiences of our centre members 

- with the aim of influencing policy and thinking. 

 As the number of refugees and asylum-seekers coming to Calderdale continues to increase, we need to review our model of service delivery to ensure that we continue to support local people as well as responding to the needs of this growing community.   As more families and individuals are settled outside of the immediate vicinity of the Centre, we are working on an outreach model of provision. 

 Alongside our welfare and immigration work, we are exponentially growing our integration, activities and wellbeing activities to enable our centre users to live fuller lives that utilise their wealth of talents and skills. 

 We are improving our buildings and premises, so they are more accessible, creative, welcoming and allow greater physical indoor and outdoor space in a post pandemic world. An extension to the support services building is a priority in 2022.  Because of global events the cost of this will be more than we have received in grants but the Trustees have committed the extra funds from our reserves.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts 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 irregularities. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of St. Augustine's Centre, Halifax 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 10 to 22. 

## **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 ('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 ACCA which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

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.

## St. Augustine's Centre, Halifax 

## Notes to the accounts 

for the year ended 31 December 2021 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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 constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in preparing the accounts** 

The trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. They have determined that no such restatement is required. 

As a consequence, there has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

Donated goods for resale are valued at the amount actually realised upon their sale. 

Donated assets, facilities or services are valued at their estimated value to the charity. This is the price that the charity estimates it would pay in the open market for equivalent items; or services and facilities of equivalent utility to the charity. 

## **Expenditure and liabilities** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## **Taxation** 

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts. 

## **Leases** 

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.
