Trustees. report contlnued
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31
March 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors, report and
accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the
Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Chartties..
Statement of Recommended Practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standards for Smaller Entities.
Structurg, governance and management
The organisation is a registered charity and a company limited by guaranlee. The company
was registered as a charity on 29 September 2009. The trustees of the company are elected
for a term of one year by a simple majority of those present and voting at the Annual General
Meeting. Committee meetings are held approximately every two months for trustees to
receive information and make decisions relating to the organisation. The induction and
training of new trustees is undertaken by the Forum manager and experienced trustees to
ensure that they fully understand their legal and operational responsibilities.
None of the trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the trustees are
members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. The
Forum employs a project manager to oversee the running of the organisation and he reports
directly to the trustees at each meeting. The trustees are responsible for making decisions
that impact on the future of the organisation or hav& a significant cost implication and they
also ratify operational decisions that have been made by the project manager between
meetings.
Reserve8 poIIcy
Financial procedures are in place for regular reporting to the trustees and they then consider
viability and potential risks before making financial decisions. The trustees ensure that there
are sufficient reserves in place to meet their legal obligations. The level of freely available
reseNes at 31 March 2024 was £115,375 {2023.' £57,753). The Trustees have designated
£40,000 {2023'. £35,000) as any future redundancy costs and this is held in a separate
savings accounts.
Rlsk assessmont
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are Satisfied
that systems are in place to mitigate exposure. The trustees and officers of the charity
acknowledge their responsibility for carrying out an annual risk assessment of the charity's
financial strategy and policies, and for managing any risks that are identified. To this end they
have set out to identify potential risks by adopting a business plan and by reviewing the
financial processes of the charity and establishing control systems to manage the risks which
have been identified.
The major risks which the trustees have identified are:
-the charity will, if possible, have to continue to rely on social enterprise and partnership
working to provide the majority of its income.
-the charity's premises may have to be vacated during the next financial year if additional
funding is not found.
-the charittys operations may have to be considerably reduced due to a lack of funding and
the charity not having sufficient operating capital in reserve.
other local organisations housed at the charities premises may be unable to continue to
operate from these premises due to them being unable to find funding to operate at their
current level.

Achievements and performance
Work has continued to be busy again this year wrth a high number of people using the
services at the Tinsley One Stop Shop. Our work has expanded throughout the year in which
we have offered a variety of seplices to the local community. We are part of the network of
Welcome Places and Warm Spaces in Sheffield through which we provide a warm and
friendly place for people to come and socialise, get a warm drink, meet like-minded people,
and get help with a variety of support including help for new arrivals through signposting to city
wide organisations. As part of the support that is provided, we have partnered with Citizens
Advice Sheffield to provide a space for a community access point where people can come
into a private room and get online face to face advice from a qualified advice worker. This has
proved to be a hugely popular addition to our services and something that ties into the rest of
our sep4ices, we offer the space and support for this service at a cost to ourselves to help our
community to access this seniice locally, in a safe and confidential space.

Trustees responsibilities for the financial statements
Company and charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each
financial period which show the state of affairs of the charity and of net income or
expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the
Trustees are required to:
Q select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
Q make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
Q prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it
is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue
in operation.
Q state whether applicable accounting standards of recommended
practice have been followed subject to any departures disclosed
and explained in the financial statements.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records
which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity
and enable the Trustees to prepare financial statements. The Trustees
are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking
reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small
companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the Trustees on
their behalf by:
