ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

During 2020 -21, the charity carried out a wide range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The activities which are considered by Trustees to provide public benefit to residents in and around the Seven Sisters area of South Tottenham are reported under the following headings below:

Response to Covid-19 pandemic
Community facilities
Whole health services
Community empowerment including home from hospital, care navigation, safer communities and response to Covid-19
Strategic Partners Service including Community Impact Haringey, Haringey Food Network and Volunteer Centre Haringey
Haringey Wellbeing Network
Haringey Giving

Response to Covid -19 pandemic

The charity played a strategic and operational lead role in bringing statutory and community partners together to address the impact of Covid-19 on Haringey’s residents. This included:

Survey of the voluntary and community sector: The charity conducted a survey of voluntary and community sector organisations in Haringey during the first national lock down. Key findings from the survey led to the provision of emergency flexible funding of over £600,000 to the sector to address the loss of income and need for the sector to deliver emergency support to most disadvantaged residents including food, medicines collection and help to tackle social and digital exclusion.
Community Protect: With funding from Haringey Public Health, we set up and led a partnership programme together with Public Voice and Mind in Haringey and a network of over 20 grassroots community organisations and delivered community-based health messaging via the Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) to specific target demographic groups to help keep residents safe and reinforce good practices. The network was instrumental in supporting messaging and increasing vaccine uptake amongst Haringey’s Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority (BAME) communities that were disproportionately impacted on by Covid -19.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Haringey Food Network : With funding from Haringey Council, we established and coordinated a network of over 20 food banks / food providers. Key achievements included coordinated sourcing of food and essential supplies that were distributed by the food outlets to reach Haringey residents most in need in an equitable and fair manner.
Haringey Giving: During the pandemic, Haringey Giving undertook several campaigns that raised over £374,000 towards Covid-19 relief and emergency support.
Covid Marshall Community Support: Funded by Haringey Council, the service provided sought to Engage, Educate and Encourage (3E’s) Haringey’s Businesses and members of the Public on Covid Compliance. A team of multilingual staff (Turkish, Somali, Latin American and Polish speakers) successfully supported businesses to serve their customers in a compliant way.
Addressing disproportionate impact of Covid on Haringey’s Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities: In partnership with Haringey Council, the charity convened two BAME stakeholders meeting in July and October 2020 which co-produced a 9-point action plan to address the disproportionate impact of Covid. The plan is available on our website.

Community facilities

The charity holds the lease for three community buildings – Laurels Healthy Living Centre, Chestnuts Community Centre and Bridge Community Hut.

Our Main Offices are located within the Laurels Healthy Living Centre, which we share with several other GP and health related services. A core of our staff members has been operating from the Laurels, ensuring that we can still maintain many of our critical services: Home from Hospital, COVID-19 Support, Tottenham Talking, Complementary Health and Finance.

During the year 2020-21 one of the areas significantly affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic was the use of our community spaces. The

Bridge Community Hut and the Chestnuts Community Centre were closed for extended periods during this time, as the charity ensured compliance with Government Regulations around infection control and in particular, social distancing. Apart from routine maintenance, the Bridge Community Hut was closed to the public. The Chestnuts Community

Centre (pictured) became the home for the St Ann’s Food Hub, providing fresh fruit and vegetables to the public.

From January 2021 we were very pleased that we were able to accommodate the Tottenham Talking mental health project, which was a collaboration between the Bridge Renewal Trust and the Barnet, Enfield, Haringey Mental Health Trust (BEHMHT).

In 2021-22, our priorities for the community facilities will include:

Maintaining Covid-secure facilities
Targeting activities that benefit the most vulnerable members of the community adversely affected by Covid including isolated BAME people, older people, people with mental health problems, young people, parents and families and long-term unemployed people.
Bringing back the community use of the centres to pre-Covid levels.

Whole Health

Our complementary Health Clinic is located on the Laurels ground floor and offers a range of complementary therapies starting at £40.00 per treatment.

This service is subsidised by the charity with the approval of the Board.

Despite greater restrictions being applied across London and nationally, as the country moved into Tiers 3 & 4 and eventually lockdown, we were able to re-open our Complementary Health service in October 2020. Our services fall within the Government’s definition of “other health services, including those relating to mental health” that were able to remain open. As a result, we completed 443 (2020: 2,756) appointments between 5 October 2020 to 31 March 2021 for the following treatments:

Basic Nail Cutting (primarily for elderly and disabled clients)
Deep Tissue Massage
Podiatry
Reflexology
Sports Rehabilitation

The importance of these services was reflected in the increased demand and the number of new clients that we saw during the period. We were pleased that we were able to make such an important contribution during such difficult times.In 2021-22, we will continue the recovery of take up of the complementary health therapies and explore introduction of other therapies required to support people who may be suffering from long Covid.

The achievements of these outcomes are measured against 5 main key performance indicators with targets given by Haringey Council commissioners. This year (April 2020-March 2021) we exceeded all the targets as shown below:

Capacity Building - We registered 350 organisations - thus exceeding the target of 300 by 50 giving an increase of 17%.
Fundraising Service – We provided one-to-one advisory services to organisations to capacity build them and enable them to submit good quality applications to local, regional and national funding agencies.

Partnerships and collaborations - We supported the establishments of 55 Collaborative agreements/projects between Voluntary and Community Organisations (VCOs) and statutory bodies – thus exceeding the target of 50 by 5 (10%).

Voluntary and Community Sector Forums (VCSF): Since March 2020 when the Covid-19 shutdown came into effect, we switched from face-to-face forums to on-line forum meetings via Zoom platform to enforce social distancing. The lockdown generated an extreme need for effective and speedy dissemination of information. As a result, it became necessary to deliver the Voluntary and Community Sector Forums monthly instead of quarterly. This was to enable all partners to pick up emerging issues and address them on time.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Topics covered included the Council’s and VCS responses to the Covid-19 pandemic the Council’s Covid-19 Financial Support Package for the VCS, emergency food distribution, long term sustainability of the VCS post Covid-19, addressing Digital Exclusion in the VCS and Haringey’s Roadmap out of Lockdown.

In 2021-22, our Partnerships and Community Impact Service will prioritise capacity building services including:

Strategic planning and investment in grassroots organisations – working with Haringey Council and VCS to co-produce VCS strategy involving flexible grants for core costs and key projects/services, community buildings review and digital strategy and resources to facilitate access and skills development.
Capacity building training on areas such as: business and service transformation, income diversification, digital training and safeguarding.
VCS Partnership brokerage system to enable larger VCS organisations to partner with smaller organisations – this facilitates skills transfer and acquisition of relevant track records.

Community Protect

This public health programme, led by the Bridge in partnership with Public Voice and Mind in Haringey, was set up in October 2020 to deliver a range of public health information and safety messages to residents across the borough. The programme utilises over 20 local, voluntary sector delivery partners to convey a range of messages which are developed in partnership with Haringey Council and public health. Messages vary, but include keeping social distancing, washing hands and wearing a face covering. As the Covid pandemic developed and vaccination facilities came online, messaging also refined within the programme to include details of pop-up clinics, giving residents

up-to-date information to encourage vaccination uptake. On average, the programme outputs peak at around 50,000 messages per week across all channels – including social media and traditional methods such as leafleting and posters.

Looking forward, the structure and mechanism utilised under community protect have proved popular with Public Health and Haringey Council and is seen as a beneficial way to convey public health information from trusted sources going forward.

For this 12-month reporting period, a total of 1,226 applications (2020: 932) were made through the Volunteer Centre. From the above chart, it is evident there were three ‘surges’ in applications, which roughly coincide with national lockdowns and, more recently, the drive from NHS Charities for vaccination volunteers.

In addition to the mainstream brokerage activity above, we supported 761 local residents to volunteer during the Covid situation. Many of these came forward directly through the Bridge and Council websites and were successfully placed in one of the two Council food distribution hubs operating over the Summer of 2020 (Ally Pally & Spurs Stadium), and locally with VCS organisations. Many of these volunteers were ‘first timers’ and subsequently emailed us to remark how much they enjoyed the experience of helping out and wanted to carry on volunteering, even when they returned to work once their ‘furlough’ period came to an end.

We continue to champion volunteering across the borough, most recently holding a Volunteers Week 2021 online celebration event in partnership with Haringey Council, with over 80 people attending and Haringey’s Mayor dropping in to congratulate the volunteers’ contribution to Haringey’s Voluntary & Community Sector.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Supporting Volunteering & Volunteering Best Practice: During 2020, and in particular when the national lockdowns were announced, the Volunteer Centre provided ongoing, responsive support to Council colleagues and VCS organisations who were often recruiting large numbers of volunteers to new roles, for the first time. We provided information and guidance on a range of topics during this time, including DBS checking, expenses for volunteers, creating interesting and rewarding role descriptions and recommended working hours for volunteers

Volunteer Manager Forums: Our Forums for Volunteer Managers and Co-ordinators continue to be popular, offering a mixture of training, networking and development opportunities. For this year, we held two forums in March 2020 with 27 attendees and December 2020 with 16 ‘virtual’ attendees.

NavNet

This network of community navigators continues to grow in population, engagement and reach. The network now has 104 members from across the borough, made up of social prescribers, link workers, local area coordinators, community connectors, enablers, volunteers and many more – all coming together to share knowledge, skills, information, stories and passion to enable residents to lead better lives. NavNet is coordinated and managed jointly between the Council and Bridge, with plans for a new, more stable user platform and messaging system for 2021, increasing the membership even further.

Communications

This year, Bridge communications work continued to support all our key programme areas, underpinning the work to keep our connection with residents, local community organisations and partners via online channels during the pandemic.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

We have continued to collate and publish Covid-19 guidance, support and resources for VCS organisations and residents via our website, social media, and Community Impact Bulletin.

Community Impact Bulletin – As in previous years, our weekly bulletin remains our most relevant channel to communicate with partners and the VCS organisations. This is shown by the level of engagement we maintain with our audience being 42% of subscribers highly engaged, which means that more than 500 subscribers often open our emails and click on the links provided. We can also demonstrate its relevance by the high number of requests we receive every week to promote services and information in the bulletin.
Inclusion & Equalities Special Bulletin – We have sent out the first Inclusion & Equalities Special Bulletin, which is an update on the work being done to address the challenges outlined on the 9-point action plan.
Bridge Renewal Trust Website – We continue to update our website with service updates, timely information and relevant resources to community organisations and residents.
The Funding Opportunities webpage was the most accessed webpage on our website in the past year. Our website in numbers: 58% increase in the number of users, 45% increase in the number of sessions (period a user is actively engaged with the website) and 27% increase in the number of unique page views (number of sessions during which a page was viewed at least once)

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

For the year ahead, we plan to continue to improve the quality and reputation of our communications by implementing our house style in all the messages that we put out and creating more consistency across the organisation.

Haringey Food Network

This year saw us recruit a Food Network Coordinator, working in partnership with the council to help build stronger partnerships and resilience within the emerging food network in Haringey. In addition to assisting with the running of the central food distribution hub, we have had some early success with seed funding to help establish the network further. Other notable achievements include:

Establish communication channels among the 33 Network members, Haringey Council and other partners via mailing list, WhatsApp groups and regular monthly online meetings which serve as a platform for discussion, networking and collaborative working
Developed a partnership with Citizen’s Advice Haringey which delivers
Induction to Volunteering training, tailored to community food providers such as food banks, 4 times per year to any volunteer in the Network
An Advice First Aid Pilot Project at Bounds Green Food Bank – the training is complete, and more support will be in place soon as part of a successful funding bid from Greater London authority
Haringey Food Hub November 2020 - April 2021: created & managed operations that enabled distribution of surplus DEFRA and Haringey Council funded food supplies to groups in the Network, feeding residents experiencing food insecurity as well as managing Council food stocks for their food delivery efforts.
Greater London Authority ‘Food Roots Incubator’: successful application for funding to support network members to create a plan to develop alongside nine others in London

Expo 2020

Unlike the past 4 years when the event was delivered at the Tottenham Town Hall, this year, we featured the first ever on-line Expo via the zoom platform, amidst great anxieties about how it will turn out, it turned out to be very successful, with over 200 (2020: 700) people in attendance. There were two main activities: The Community Workshop Discussion and The Community Impact awards Ceremony.

The Community Workshop Discussion : The topic of discussion was “ Thinking ahead to 2021, how can community groups, residents and partners work together to address challenges? ” Over 80 people participated in the discussions which were held in break-up rooms. The highlights of the breakup room discussions were publicised in a bulletin after the event and a networking pack was distributed so that participants could continue discussions offline .
The Community Impact awards Ceremony : This was the highlight of the Expo when the Community Impact Awards were presented to outstanding individuals, grassroots community groups and voluntary organisations to recognise their hard work and achievements in changing the lives of Haringey residents. The Expo is now well established as a key local event that brings together the key stakeholders of this contract and proven to greatly enhance good networking and community cohesion.

Over the course of this year, the following numbers of people have taken part in the training:

430 people took part in our Online Basic Safeguarding Awareness Training
398 people completed the training and received a certificate

Haringey Giving

Haringey Giving is the place-based giving scheme for the borough – a specialist mechanism to enable people to donate and raise funds, to give out grants and to enhance the corporate and employee volunteering offer in the borough.

‘Everyone has something to give and we all can and should play a part’

The Haringey Giving is cross-sector partnership of local stakeholders, which is governed by a Board comprised of local residents, corporate organisations and funders. The Board forms a subcommittee of the Bridge Renewal Trust Board of Trustees and has been granted delegated authorities by Trustees. Advisors to the Board include representatives from London’s Giving (London Funders) and Islington Giving. The partnership is administered by the Bridge Renewal Trust and benefits from the local engagement, networks and other community support services.

Haringey Giving’s shared vision is for an equal and inclusive Haringey where people live fulfilled lives. The mission is to increase opportunity and wellbeing in Haringey, by enabling residents to work with others and take action on the issues that matter. Core funded by City Bridge Trust and Haringey Council, Haringey Giving is staffed by a full time Director and part time Grants Officer.

Key achievements in 2020-21 include:

Responding to COVID-19: As the emerging crisis deepened, from April 2020, Haringey Giving engaged widely with the public, local businesses, the Council and other key partners to take forward a well-coordinated response to the pandemic – both as the ‘go-to’ fundraising mechanism and as a highly agile community funder.
Joining up local support: Working in close co-ordination with the Council’s ‘Connected Communities’ team and food distribution operation, Haringey Giving ensured that local initiatives were connected in with the wider support network as it developed across the borough.
The ‘Go-To’ local fundraiser during the pandemic: The initial target of £25,000 for the Haringey COVID-19 Appeal was ultimately increased to £250,000 to support local community responses to the emerging and rapidly increasing needs of vulnerable people impacted by the pandemic across Haringey’s Communities. £224,966 raised during the year included individual donors, local fundraisers and significant donations from corporates including £100K (£80K funding and £20K in-kind support) from Hays Talent Solutions, over £50,500 from Linklaters LLP, £20,000 from the LHC Community Benefit Fund, £15,270 from an anonymous corporate donor and £5,000 from The Two Magpies Fund. In addition, Haringey Giving secured £150,000 of COVID-19 Emergency funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, to support local community response projects, through the Together We Can COVID-19 fund.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Together We Can COVID-19 Fund: Within weeks of the launch of the local fundraising response, Haringey Giving adapted the existing ‘Together We Can’ fund, to enable a rapid response. The focus was on supporting those most impacted by the pandemic and through the fund, we awarded 72 grants, totalling £374,356.
Changing Lives Fund: 6 pilots projects which had been funded in January 2020 to provide microgrants of up to £500 to enable individuals experiencing disadvantage to overcome challenges in their lives continued to deliver to a limited extent during the pandemic.
Firs House Residents Fund: On Wednesday 29 April, during the first peak of the pandemic, residents of Firs House in Woodside, Haringey were hit by a devastating fire and had to evacuate their homes. Haringey Giving hosted an appeal by Cllr Lucia das Neves and worked with Haringey Council and its local partners to distribute the funds to affected residents.
Child Food Emergency Appeal: In response to local needs, highlighted in the national media by the Marcus Rushford campaign in October 2020, Haringey Giving set up an appeal to support children and young people experiencing food poverty. The appeal raised £7,912.80 during the year and was distributed to food projects for children and young people across Haringey.
Haringey Digital Divide Appeal: In December 2020, Haringey Giving partnered with Haringey Council to set up an appeal to support what was initially estimated to be 1,600 children and young people impacted by digital poverty in Haringey. Funds raised were distributed via Haringey Giving and were used to purchase devices, wi-fi access and internet in home, community, and schools settings.

Tech company, Raspberry Pi and the Bloomfield Trust joined the partnership via Haringey Giving and provided 1,000 devices, peripherals and technical support which were distributed directly to schools across the borough. The value of the donated equipment leveraged into the borough is estimated at about £150,000.

The Council allocated hardship fund monies to purchase over 1,000 additional devices bringing the total devices distributed to 2,171, in addition to those provided by the DfE.

Local IT company, Techrelate, also joined the partnership in February 2020, with a shared long-term commitment to supporting digital access in the borough.
Corporate volunteering: With support from Linklaters, Haringey Giving continued dialogue with the East London Business Alliance (ELBA), Business In The Community and the School for Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) to leverage in-kind skilled volunteering to support not-for-profit organisations and social enterprises in the borough. The initiative took a co-ordinated approach with Volunteer Centre Haringey (hosted by The Bridge Renewal Trust) and gave rise to tailored training and mentoring support for social entrepreneurs in the borough during the year, in association with ELBA and the SSE.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

London’s Giving: Haringey Giving actively participated in London’s Giving, a network of local giving schemes supported by London Funders during the year.

Volunteers: During the emerging pandemic, Haringey Giving was supported by a highly skilled ‘News Desk’ team of professional media, communications and IT volunteers, who were an enormous asset to Haringey Giving, and we are thankful for their valuable support. We are also grateful to the Board of Haringey Giving, who volunteered their time and skills to ensure that strategic and funding decisions were made and provided necessary support to the staff team.

Our donors: Haringey Giving is grateful to all the many, kind individual donors, funders, partners, fundraisers and supporters, and would particularly like to thank:

Safer Neighbourhood Board

We have facilitated Haringey’s Safer Neighbourhood Board (SNBs) to bring the police and communities together to solve problems collaboratively and ensured that the public are involved in a wide range of other community safety decisions. The SNB Haringey is chaired by the Headteacher of Gladesmore Community School. Key achievements in 2020-21 included delivery of various projects towards the implementation of our Serious Youth Violence Action Plan 2019-22. These projects included knife crime awareness raising and empowerment workshops in schools, activities for Somali youths and support for Latin American communities. In 2021-22, we will work collaboratively with the Police, schools and residents to promote trust and develop community-led solutions to structural inequalities and racism highlighted by the disproportionate impact of Covid and Black Lives Matter Movement.

Partnerships and Friends of the Bridge

We value partnership working. Key partners during the year included: London Borough of Haringey, North Central London Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust, GPs at the Laurels, Whittington Health, North Middlesex Hospital University NHS Trust, Federated4Health, Homes for Haringey, Mind in Haringey, Public Voice/Healthwatch Haringey, Hope in Tottenham, Citizen Advice Haringey, St Mungo’s, Pyramid Health And Social Care Association (PHASCA), Siman Best Tutors, Embrace UK, Selby Trust, Renaisi Limited, NLPC, Godwin Lawson Foundation, One You, Tempo, Local Resident Associations and Local Primary and Secondary Schools.

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on page 42 of this report detailed the trading results for the financial year.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Investment Policy: Trustees have agreed an investment policy with the following main objectives:

a) To produce the best financial return within an acceptable level of risk.

b) To generate a return in excess of inflation over the long term whilst generating an income to support the on‐going activities of the charity.

c) To preserve the capital value with a minimum level of risk in the short-term. Assets should be readily available to meet unanticipated cash flow requirements.

The Finance and Investment Committee, chaired by the Treasurer, which meets as required, is tasked with meeting one of the Trust’s investment objectives for investing an appropriate amount of the reserves to generate an income to support the on‐going activities of the charity. In September 2014, Trustees agreed an investment of £50,000 of the Bridge Renewal Trust deposit funds into an Investment Funds. The value of the fund stood at £64,875 (2020 £54,471) as at 31 March 2021. Unrealised capital gain of £9,549 ((2020: ( £4,917 )) loss was reported in the (SoFA) Statement of Financial Activities.

Reserves policy and going concern: The Board of Trustees agreed in principle to set annual budgets in line with the projected annual income from grants, service contracts and earned income.

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other emergency expenditures.

This year, the charity’s reserves have increased from £3,348,340 in 2020 to £3,495,987 of which £3,375,306 was unrestricted and £120,681 restricted, an increase of £147,647 the details of which are given in note 18/20 of the accounts.

Decisions on expenditure of reserve funds are based on ensuring that:

We aim to retain a level of reserves that equate to a target of six months’ operating costs. Actual free reserves of £320,348 as a proportion of unrestricted expenditure at 31st March 2021 equated to 2.9 or approximately 3 months. There is still much to be done to achieve the six months’ operating costs target. This is to ensure that the organisation operates best practice as an employer, has flexibility against the need for unforeseen expense.
In view of the current COVID-19 environment, the need to build up reserves has become more apparent. There is, therefore, more emphasis on costs management and in particular, avoidable staff costs.
The Trustees have decided to continually monitor any potential loss- making arms of the charity with a view to reducing staff hours and, hence costs.
Expenditures will be to invest in social business, which meets the Bridge Renewal Trust’s charitable objects, rather than used to grant fund or resource unsustainable operations.

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Risk Management

A risk management strategy is in place comprising:

Annual review of the principal risks faced by the charity and subsidiary company.
Establishment and implementation of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate identified risks.

The following matters have been considered as part of the risk review by Trustees during the year:

Board responsibilities and risks areas: Board development and training days have been held covering key areas such as risk management and financial management; and Register of Conflict of Interest for Trustees is kept up to date.
Reputational risks – ensure that key contractual services such as the Strategic Partner service/Community Impact Haringey are successfully delivered.
Operational and staffing issues - Operational Risk Register used to identify and manage these risks.

Trustees receive quarterly strategic risk reports that provide assurances that the risk management strategy is being effectively implemented.

Trustees have also identified key risks and threats to the charity which include mitigating the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and the need to diversify income sources to avoid overdependence on a few main sources of income. We are managing these through regular risk assessment and post-pandemic community centre sustainability review. The viability of the Chestnuts Community Centre is of concern in the short to medium term. The pandemic and subsequent lockdown has led to the substantial loss of income. We are mitigating this by controlling costs associated with premises and staff costs.

Through our Financial Procedures, we are ensuring that internal financial and operational controls are monitored and improved. The Board of Trustees reviewed and clarified the role of the Finance and Investment Committee. The Board of Trustees will retain the power to receive and approve annual accounts. The Finance and Investment Committee will focus of improving financial procedures of the charity and provide a closer scrutiny of the financial and operational processes.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Building on our achievements over the last ten years and taking account of the challenges posed by the impact of COVID-19 on Haringey’s deprived communities, we will focus our services on the following activities over the next year and beyond:

THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2021

Reviewing the use of our community facilities and taking steps to mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 and social distancing requirements. As the demand for large public facing events is likely to remain low for some time, we propose to focus the use of our community space to provide a hub for voluntary and community sector organisations by expanding provision of office space.
Promoting healthier, stronger and safer communities through self-help initiatives and early help and preventive health and wellbeing services alongside residents.
Establish greater understanding of the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) groups and other deprived communities and facilitate partnership working to address the issues outlined in our 9-point action plan – namely:
Data and evidence – collecting more impact data on diverse BAME groups.
Funding – increased emphasis on supporting the voluntary and community sector to access funding from statutory, corporate and charitable sources.
Bereavement and mental health – promoting greater wellbeing through our Haringey Wellbeing Network and other partnership working.
Domestic violence – more support to tackle Violence Against Women and Girls and intergenerational conflicts (parents and children).
Communication and awareness raising – more tailored communications that is culturally and linguistically appropriate; e. g. mental health support being tailored and reaching people who need it.
Prevention and resilience building – more support to various cohorts of BAME families and communities to build resilience for the long-term.
Shielding of BAME staff and communities – take action to risk assess and support at risk BAME staff and work with our partners to support contact tracing and shielding of BAME individuals within the community as will be required.
Equitable access to services – we will review our services and work with our partners and residents to tackle the structural inequalities and underlying racism.
Digital exclusion – support efforts to improve digital literacy for residents.

In 2020-21 the company did not trade (dormant) following a decision in 2012-13 to suspend the plans to open a pharmacy. The future of the company will be reviewed in 2021-22 alongside the proposed development of a Healthy Living Pharmacy at the Laurels.

Staffing

The Chief Executive who is accountable to the Board of Trustees is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the charity. He is supported by a senior management team comprised of Head of Partnership, Director of Haringey Giving, Community Services & Facilities Manager, Voluntary Sector Development Manager, Finance and Monitoring Manager, Community Development Manager and Community Empowerment Manager who are responsible for co-ordinating the delivery of services and facilities management. In 2020-21, the workforce was comprised of 44 members of staff. A framework is in place to allow essential support service contracts such HR and Employment Law, Health and Safety advice, Payroll and IT.

Pay policy for senior staff

The pay of senior staff is reviewed annually and normally increased in accordance with satisfactory employee performance appraisal and organisational financial health. Remuneration is benchmarked against pay levels in similar sized organisations and adjusted for any additional responsibilities.

Where recruitment has proven difficult, a market addition can be paid with the pay maximum comparable to the highest benchmarked salary in a comparable role.

Fundraising Policy

The charity understands its duty to protect the public, including vulnerable people from unreasonably intrusive or persistent fundraising approaches and undue pressure to donate. The charity employs a director of Haringey Giving who leads on all fundraising matters including dealings with external online fundraising platforms. The charity does not currently use external fundraising agencies for either telephone or face-to-face campaigns. We raise funds in compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice of the Fundraising Regulator in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

We received no fundraising complaints during the year (2020: Nil).

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The charity trustees (who are also Directors of the Bridge Renewal Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year and not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the year then ended.

In preparing those financial statements which give a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102-2019).
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Trustees of The Bridge Renewal Trust

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of The Bridge Renewal Trust (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise of the Statement of Financial Activities, the Charitable Company Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2021, and of the charity’s incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Other information continued

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept by the charitable company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the charitable company’s financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of Trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies exemptions in preparing the Trustees report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the Charitable Company and the sector in which it operates and considered the risk of the Charitable Company not complying with the applicable laws and regulations including fraud in particular those that could have a material impact on the financial statements. This included those regulations directly related to the financial statements, including financial reporting, and tax legislation. In relation to the operations of the Charitable Company this included compliance with the Charities Act 2011 and SORP 2019, GDPR, employment law, safeguarding and health & safety.

The risks were discussed with the audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We carried out specific procedures to address the risks identified. These included the following:

Reviewing minutes of Board meetings, reviewing any correspondence with the Charity Commission, agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation, and made enquiries of management and officers of the Charitable Company. We have also reviewed the procedures in place for the reporting of any incidents to the Trustee Board including serious incident reporting of these matters as necessary with the Charity Commission.

Management override: To address the risk of management override of controls, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. We reviewed systems and procedures to identify potential areas of management override risk and evaluated the business rationale of significant transactions to identify large or unusual transactions. We reviewed key authorisation procedures and decision making processes for any unusual or one-off transactions.

We also assessed management bias in relation to the accounting policies adopted and in determining significant accounting estimates.

Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and its trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The Bridge Renewal Trust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2021

1 . Accounting policies

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. Each member is liable to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of the charity being wound up.

The company is incorporated in England and Wales with registered office at 256 St Ann's Road, London N15 5AZ.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective1st October 2019 - Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS102), the Charities Act 2011 and Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. The fucntional currency is £ sterling.

The financial statements comply with the requirements of FRS102.

The Bridge Renewal Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historic cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

b) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

c) Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, and any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants , whether 'capital' or 'revenue' grants is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grant have been met, it is probable the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition are have not been met , then the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material..

Income received in advance of service is deferred until the criterial for income recognition are met.

d) Critical accounting judgements and estimates

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the charity's accounting policies and reported assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in the financial statements. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

e) Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with Charities (SORP 102) the general volunteer time is not recognised and to refer to the trustees' annual report for more information about their contribution.

On receipt, donated professional services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

Durring the year, benefit in kind of £8,080 was recognised in the accounts.

The Bridge Renewal Trust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)

f) Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

g) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside for specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are be solely used for particular areas of charity's work or for specific purpose. Funds are also raised for specific restricted purposes.

h) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and costs of trading for fundraising purposes. - Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i) Allocation of support costs

Support costs have been allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis. The basis on which support costs are allocated are set out in note 4.

j) Operating leases

The charity classifies the lease of printing (phocopiers) IT servers, telephone handsets, etc equipment as operating leases; the title to the equipment remains with the lessor and the equipment should be replaced every 5 years or, remain on a rolling basis. Rental charges are charged on a straightline basis over the term of the lease.

k) Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets or bulk puchase of the same class of assets costing £1,000 or more are capiltalised at cost and depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives as follows:

Fixtures and fittings 25% straightline

Computer equipment 25% straightline Laurels long leasehold 2% straightline Improvement to building On the remaining leasehold duration

Programme related investments are not depreciated because lease is tenant repairing

l) Investments

Investments are held at market value as at the Balance Sheet date

The Charity holds 100% of the share capital in the presently dormant subsidiary company The Bridge Renewal Services Limited at cost.

m) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recgnised at the settlement amount due Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

n) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of the acquisition or opening the deposit or similar account.

o) 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 to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

The Bridge Renewal Trust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)

p) Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value, which is at cost, with the exception of:

Investments measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date;
Fixed assests are measured at cost less depreciation;
Programme related investments are treated as fixed assets and not depreciated as they are tenants
repairing lease.

The Invesments note 11 details the historic cost of investments and the unrealised gains/losses) to arrive at their fair value.

q) Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.The pension cost charge represents contribitions payable .under the scheme by the charity to the fund.
