## **OUR AIMS AND OBJECTIVES** 

## **Our aims** 

The objects of the charity are for the public benefit as set out below: 

- To promote and protect the physical and mental health of residents in and around the Seven Sisters area of South Tottenham, London (“the Area of Benefit”); and 

- The relief of unemployment for the benefit of residents in the Area of Benefit through a range of interventions including training and assistance to find employment whether as an employee or on a self-employed basis; and 

- To relieve and prevent poverty amongst people living within the Area of Benefit; and 

- To further or benefit the residents of the Area of Benefit and the surrounding neighbourhood, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions by associating together the said residents and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities and services in the interest of social welfare for the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents. 

Our main purpose is to deliver practical ways that people can live healthier and fulfilling lives – thus playing our part in working towards reducing health inequalities and building stronger communities. 

## **Our Objectives** 

Objective 1:  People are healthier and live independent active and fulfilling lives. Objective 2:  People make healthier life  choices. Objective 3:  Increase access to vibrant and thriving community facilities with mix of health and wellbeing activities for all members of the community. 

- Objective 4:  Work in partnership and support voluntary and community sector activities that improve the health and wellbeing of the community. 

We review our objectives and activities each year to ensure that they continue to reflect our aims and stated purposes. In carrying out the review, we have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives we have set. 

## **Our Values** 

At the heart of what we do is the way that we work with people. Our starting point for identifying the priorities for what we should do are underpinned by how we want to work. 

3 



**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

We will offer practical ways that people can live happier healthier fulfilling lives and our approach is guided by the following values: 

- Respect and dignity 

- Inclusion 

- Empowerment 

- Whole health 

- Developing community resilience 

- Socially responsible 

- Value for money 

## **Our Approach** 

The strategies we have used to deliver practical ways to address health inequalities include: 

- Supporting people holistically to have the confidence, motivation, skills and knowledge to make their own healthy life choices – and to be able to pass this on in their families and in the community. 

- Ensuring people can access the right mix for them of the medical and healthy living support to get and stay well. 

- Working collaboratively and in partnerships to increase the availability of accessible services and support that will enhance the health and wellbeing of local people. 

We put these strategies into action by delivering services and projects in four specific and two cross cutting programme areas: 

## **Specific** 

- Whole health services 

- Community empowerment including home from hospital, care navigation, safer communities and response to Covid-19 

- Community facilities 

- Strategic Partners Service including Community Impact Haringey, Haringey Food Network and Volunteer Centre Haringey 

- Haringey Wellbeing Network 

- Haringey Giving 

## **Cross cutting**

Our programme areas are co-designed with service users to complement one another and offer a joined-up approach to working individually and collaboratively with the community and key partners to tackle drivers of health inequalities and building stronger communities. 

The Charity produced a fourth Business Plan in February 2023 which is intended to steer our strategic, financial, and operational planning activities over the next 5 years. The Covid pandemic 

4

and cost of living crisis have affected the way we work and live our lives.

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Facilities** 

Throughout 2022-23 we con�nued to priori�se the safe use of our spaces. We an�cipated a sharp uptake in the use of our facili�es as our clients returned to a sense of normality. Through a combina�on of the placement of Bridge related projects and ac�vely seeking certain ac�vi�es, we finished 2022-23 with par�cipa�on levels that were higher than the pre-COVID period. 

We have successfully managed to broaden the range of ac�vi�es and services on offer to a wider client group. Below is a list of regular ac�vi�es that take place within the Chestnuts Community Centre: 

|**Adults – General**|Bereavement support<br>Digital skills.<br>Cra�ing: sewing, pa�ern cu�ng,<br>crochet, book binding, slow s�tch<br>Adult Choir<br>Parent & Child talking therapies  and<br>Zumba.|Women’s Fit/Women’s Box Fit<br>Food Hub<br>Yoga<br>Hula Hoop ftness<br>Capoeira ftness<br>Belly Dance ftness<br>Mar�al Arts – WingCheun|

The North London Probha� Sanga have used Chestnuts Community Centre for the past 7 years for a range of ac�vi�es including the week-long Dura Purga, Hindu Fes�val. 

6 



**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

The increase in programmed ac�vi�es has made it more challenging to accommodate private hire such as par�es and recep�ons. These bookings have been moved more towards evenings and weekends, but we are sa�sfied that we are moving towards a more balanced programme. 

## **Whole Health** 

Our Complementary Health Clinic, based at the Laurels Healthy Living Centre, con�nues to be popular. Regular clients are incorpora�ng the treatments on offer as part of the general self-management of their health. Despite increases in costs of materials we have decided to keep the cost of a treatment at £40.00. We may have to revisit this decision in 2023-24, but our aim is to con�nue to prove low-cost affordable treatments to the residents of South To�enham. 

We face the challenge of recrui�ng new therapists who understand and are willing to work within our business model; however, in 2023-24 we will be looking to add to our range of therapies on offer. 

## **IT Infrastructure** 

We built on the work started in 2021-22 and con�nued to develop our IT infrastructure to support more flexible ways of working, plus facilitate the safe return to the office. The increase in staff members since 2020 does mean that not all members of staff can come into work at the same �me; however, managers can now explore hybrid working op�ons with their teams. 

## **Community Empowerment Programme** 

Our community empowerment programme aims to support the local communities to have more control over their lives, including helping them continue to recover from the severe effects of the Covid and the Cost-of-Living crisis. Between April 2022 and March 2023, the community empowerment programme provided the local community the resources, abilities, knowhow, and experiences they required, enabling them to have more influence over their life. The charity provided the following services to enable residents increase control, over their lives: Health@theHut, Home from Hospital Service, Tottenham Talking, Haringey Wellbeing Network and Community Outreach & Engagement (Somali speaking). 

**Home from Hospital Service:** The project, which is funded by Haringey Council and North Central London ICB, aims to provide residents aged 18 and older with practical and emotional support so they can safely return home after being discharged from the hospital. In 2022-23, we supported **517** Haringey patients aged over 18 years old (annual target **500** ), exceeding our annual target by **3.7%** . 

We promoted the services through outreach and engagement that included handing out publicity materials in outpatient clinics, hospital wards including A&E, discharge teams at Middlesex and Whittington Hospitals, GP surgeries and pharmacies.

funded by the National Lottery Reaching Communities, aims to enhance the health and wellbeing of 

local residents by enhancing their diets, increasing their physical activity, growing their social networks, and learning how to take control of their own health.

We have also worked with a Film Director and created a film in which participants shared their stories in a safe and supportive environment. 

## **Client Testimonial** 

“I have found the classes put on by Tottenham Talking to be an invaluable service which has been able to help me through an especially testing time, and massively improved my emotional and mental wellbeing. Since leaving rehab for prescription medication dependency, I had been experiencing rebound anxiety, depression and low self-esteem and self-worth...These cooking sessions give me a reason to get out of my house and go to a place where I know I am safe, the staff is amazing. I love the idea to prepare different dishes from around the world.” 

In 2023-24, we will continue to work collaboratively with local 


organisations and experts by experience to deliver an accessible and effective programme, supporting a diverse population and in-particular, Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME) men in the borough.  The programme will continue to complement NHS mental health service, supporting people to achieve their personal goals, manage their wellbeing and helping them with the motivation for change rather than taking medications - in particular achieving long term goals around employment, enhancing community connection and belonging, and improved mental health and wellbeing.

We are pleased to report that we have achieved and exceeded our implementation/ delivery plan objectives across all Key Performance Indicators for the full year.

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **Groups Capacity Building:** 

- **55** groups (target 30) organisations across the borough have been supported with fundraising, governance, policy in practice and other guidance. These organisations often work across multiple demographics and intervention. All work with BAME communities and in areas of multiple deprivation. A full list of Organisations is available on request. 

- **Working with statutory and health agencie** s: Out of the 55 groups, 13 of them were from statutory and health agencies. A key focus of our work is to facilitate joined referral pathways by linking up community groups with voluntary and statutory wellbeing service. 

- This involves partnership working with these agencies so that they have increased knowledge of community organisations and how they can develop joint referral pathways to improve access for marginalised community groups – including running joint projects. 

- Connecting with organisations and mapping capacity building needs, the project promoted good practice and raised awareness. 

- **Fundraising Support: £95,267** (Target £31,500) raised (302% met), for 16 projects benefiting grass roots and faith-based organisations and their communities. Funders include Enfield Voluntary Action, Lottery Reaching Communities, Enfield Voluntary Action, London Catalyst, Black and Minorities Women’s Fund and the CCG, among others. We had 16 successful funding outcomes for 4 organisations totalling £95,267. In 2023-24, we will continue to conduct further needs assessments with each group we work with and prepare action plans for support during the year. We will explore opportunities for funding, targeting black and minority ethnic groups, faith based and voluntary sector organisations. It is important that frontline groups understand and play their part in delivering preventative and early help. 

- **Mental health resources:** Increasing awareness about mental health and wellbeing, through joint working. We have produced and posted on the Bridge Website, Video Training Resources (as part of Great Mental Health Project), that can be used by grassroots community groups. We will progress new referrals and connect with existing organisations to map capacity building needs, making plans for 2023-24 delivery including bid writing. 

**Community Outreach & Engagement (Somali speaking):** The Somali project, funded by the Home Office and Haringey Council, aims to support Somali groups who can influence and shape the borough in which they live and work. The strategy aims to create a more transparent dialogue with the council and local Somali community to achieve meaningful outcomes in areas that impact their daily lives. We have worked with the local Somali community and have agreed on the outcomes below: 


- Somali community to have influence on issues that affect them in the borough. 

- Create activities that involve communities which are focused and purposeful. 

In the last year, we have successfully engaged with **4** Somali organisations and **52** individuals who a have passion for change in their communities.

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

**Somali Community VCS Mapping** : With the current high cost of living, we focused on Somali community mapping in Haringey to seek solutions to the problems arising, we also wanted to find out if there are any other problems in the community. During this mapping exercise we engaged with **34** residents, businesses, and community groups - adding six new active VCS groups into our community directory. Some of the key points picked up from our conversation: 

- Residents are worried about not being able to make ends meet as the price of food and energy have rocketed. 

- Some of the residents have seen cuts at work and are anxious about job security. 

- Business owners are frustrated about the lack of support from the local authority and government. Almost all fixed cost has increased in recent months with no external support. 

- Parents have resorted to buying food with reduced sticker labels often expiring within days of purchase.  Some warned that local food banks are running out of supply as local donors are feeling the hit too. Others are sometimes left with the difficult choice of heating or eating especially for those using pay as go top up for energy. 

**Somali Community early years outreach/ Workshop** : Working alongside Haringey Early years team we put together workshop to educate Somali parents about the importance of early education for their children. We also invited several other partners including, Cabinet member Counsellor’s, Haringey connected communities, Haringey Works, and the NHS CCG to engage around early immunisation. The workshop was successful. 

**Supplementary schools’ network** : To celebrate the hard work and dedication of our supplementary school’s network members, we organised a workshop reflecting on some of the highlights of the past year. Looking back at some of the great work our members achieved through our dedicated support. We also used the opportunity to offer training around funding and bid writing. The session was also attended by some of our partners from Haringey Council. 

## **Strategic Partner Service (Community Impact Haringey)** 

Our Head of Partnerships oversees this service, delivering capacity building support to Haringey’s Voluntary and Community Sector. 

We continue to either meet or exceed our targets in key areas. Our communications, networking and convening functions are particularly valued by both voluntary and statutory sector partners. Within the service sits a Capacity Building Manager and Communications Officer, together with the Volunteer Centre Haringey. 

## **Expected Outcomes** 

The service is delivered to meet the following three key strategic outcomes set by Haringey Council’s commissioners: 

- A vibrant, inclusive, viable and self-sufficient voluntary and community sector in Haringey 

- A strong partnership between the Council and the sector, and between members within the sector, to deliver shared priorities. 

- The reputations of the Voluntary and Community Sector and Haringey Council are enhanced by sharing good partnership working practice.

**Community Impact Bulletin:** The weekly bulletin is a consolidated communication channel in Haringey and a valuable resource for local organisations to promote their services and events, as well as receive updates and information that contribute to their work with the community. For this 12-month reporting period, we have: sent out 50 editions of the weekly bulletin and 24 Impact News, which is a standalone item; received 399 requests to include information in the bulletin: 46.8% from VCS organisations, 38.8% from statutory partners, 5.5% from other partners and 8.7% from other Bridge programmes; our engagement rate remains around 50% which means our subscribers are highly engaged and often open and click on our emails. That is more than twice the average ‘open rate’ for the not-for-profit industry (around 25%).

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

**Promoting funding opportunities:** We have promoted 152 funding streams through our communications channels, including opportunities from the funders: National Lottery Community Fund, Gov.UK, Mayor of London, Lloyd’s Foundation, Clarion Futures, City Bridge Trust, Sport England, The London Community Foundation, BBC Children in Need, The Henry Smith Charity, Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and many others. 

**Bridge Renewal Trust Website:** Continuing work to ensure the website reflects the work we do, including developing webpages for new projects and keeping the existing webpages up to date, as well as providing relevant information and resources. The top 5 most accessed pages on our website in this reporting period are: Featured Volunteering Opportunities, Jobs, Chestnuts Community Centre, Funding Opportunities and Tottenham Talking. 

**Communications Internal Support:** Ongoing digital support to Bridge staff to use Zoom, SharePoint, MS Teams, Outlook, Eventbrite, Canva and Mailchimp. Also provided communications support and guidance, including the creation of webpages, leaflets, banners, videos, newsletters, adverts, and social media content. 

**Cost of Living & State of the Sector Support:** We have been in constant contact with the sector to understand the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on the local VCS organisations, their staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries. We asked groups to complete a state of the sector survey to better understand the challenges and had table discussions in one of our forums to help gather feedback on what support would be useful and productive from three primary sectors: the VCS, Council and Private sector. Following this, we created a resource hub on our website with useful information for organisations and residents, and shared updates via bulletin. 

## **NavNet Programme** 

This community of knowledge has continued to thrive over the past year, with the membership having grown to over 200. The programme provides those working in resident-facing support roles with near-instant community-based answers and support via a WhatsApp group chat, in addition to regular networking opportunities and more. 

We are delighted to have secured funding during this financial year to recruit a fulltime Project Manager to help drive forward the programme, increase engagement and deliver a more frequent programme of events to help members connect, network, and learn. Funding has been awarded until February 2024 when it will be reviewed. As part of our new delivery schedule, we will also be forming a leadership group formed of colleagues from the voluntary sector, council, and health sectors to help look at the longer-term strategy of NavNet. 

## **Haringey Food Network** 

Our support to the Food Network this year has focussed on development of Haringey Community Food Network (HCFN) as part of continued strategic development of the Network. In addition, we have achieved the following: 


17 



**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

- Supported HCFN Management Committee (MC) to create structures for operating a constituted membership community group and develop an action plan to work towards shared goals. We have supported the delivery of this plan, which included capacity building support. 

- We secured funding from the Greater London Authority (GLA) and their Food Roots Stretch Grant enabled us to deliver a three month Healthy Start project with support from Haringey Council’s Public Health tram to increase the uptake of the scheme among guests at four food banks. Additionally, the project worked to raise awareness of the scheme more generally and assist with the switch to a new digital system. We gathered feedback from this to identify potential barriers facing residents locally, feeding this data back to the NHS Healthy Start team and with Sustains Healthy Start network. 

- The funding additionally included a ‘Partnership Incubator’ support element that covered workshops and advice sessions with experienced organisations such as Food Matters and Sustain, bringing valuable expertise to the HCFN Management Committee and the wider network. This enables them to develop their aspirations for the network and a road map to achieve them. 

- We have worked to support HCFN in securing funding from The National Lottery’s Awards for All programme, for a Volunteer Picnic to celebrate volunteers as part of Mayor of London’s Community Weekend in June 2023. 

- We supported the development and launch of a dedicated website for the Haringey Community Food Network, complete with a Food Support Map of groups wishing to share their information publicly for residents to access support. The map acts as a contact point for residents to locate food services in the borough. 

- From an organisational perspective, the map includes access to Time to Spare’s platform which food banks can use for monitoring impact, registering guests, managing volunteers and monitoring stock levels. We have encouraged use of this platform by food banks as part of a longer-term aspiration of being able to monitor spikes in demand for food aid throughout the year and across the borough. 

- Over the course of this year, we have planned and delivered Food Network open meetings every six weeks with three in-person. We have facilitated bi-weekly HCFN Management Committee meetings, established, and maintained a food network mailing list to facilitate peer-to-peer support, knowledge, and information sharing, and maintained the Food Network Open WhatsApp group for more responsive communications. 

In 2023-24, we will continue to deliver the Strategic Partner Service a currently set up. It is expected that a newly configured service will be retendered during the year by Haringey Council. 

## **Care Navigation and Social Prescribing** 

In 2022-23, we recruited 9 social prescribers and/or care navigators by working in partnerships with Primary Care Network, Haringey GP Federation and Whittington Health. Support services delivered related to diabetes, frailty, weight management and heart health. 

In 2023-24, we will continue the partnership working and develop a Care Navigation framework to support service delivery.

The highlight of all these was undoubtedly the Voices Day, which we co-produced with Haringey Council, and which was held in March 2023. 

Parents, young people and professionals came together to focus on co-production, and how we can develop our work together as equal partners. Most importantly, we had lots of fun!

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

Investment Policy: Trustees have agreed an updated 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. 

d) To ensure the financial investments take into account the charity’s values and ethos. There is proven link between health inequalities and the consumption of alcohol, tobacco and poor diet. 

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 **£62,565 at   31/03/2022.** The Finance and Investment Committee reviewed the performance of Aegon Ethical    Cautious Managed Fund and concluded it was unsatisfactory and recommended to the Trustee Board that the agreement be terminated and to move the funds to   COIF CCLA Investment Account. The Trustees decided in their meeting of 19/07/2022 to terminate   Aegon’s agreement and   realise the investment. The market value on the disposal was **£55,208** received 24/03/2023 resulting to realised capital loss of **(£7,357)** as reported in the _(Sofa)_ Statement of Financial Activities. The Trustee Board’s approved CCLA Investment Deposit Account amount of **£85,000** was made on **06/07/2023** . There were no Investments held as at 31/03/2023. 

The long lease value of **£2,965,600** on the balance sheet which includes the programme related investments of **£2,340,000** form part of the total funds balance of **£4,028,593** and represents property which cannot be readily realised. 

**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 expenditure and to build resources for future investments. 

This year, the charity’s funds have increased from £3,868,140 in 2022 to **£4,028,593** of which **£898,010** was unrestricted and **£103,570** restricted, an increase of **£160,453** the details of which are given in note 18 to the accounts.

**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

Purpose of reserve **Target £1,350m** 

- **Contingency Reserves:** 

- **£450k** to provide for short term solvency and stability in case of an extreme event. 

- Ensure the Charity can function while action is taken. 

- **Working Capital Reserves:** 

- **£250k** to manage the working capital requirements and ensure it can meet its operational costs. 

- **External Financial Risks:** 

- **£500k** to provide level of mitigation against the financial risk of the loss of main tenant. 

- **-** Contingency for  void at  the  Laurels  through loss   of  income  from  main  tenant. tendering and void at the Laurels. 

- **Strategic Reserves:** 

- **£150k** to finance redevelopment of the Chestnuts Centre. 

## **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 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 remains a concern in the short to medium term. As we move out of the pandemic, there are indications that activities and rental income are rising again. In 2023-24, we will commence work to co-produce a vision and long-term plan to deliver a modern 

30 



## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

and environmentally friendly community facility. This will include community engagement and development of a funding package to deliver the vision. 

Through our Financial Procedures, we are ensuring that internal financial and operational controls are monitored and improved. The Board of Trustees have previously reviewed and clarified the role of the Finance and Investment Committee. The Finance and Investment Committee has been focusing on reviewing financial policies and improving procedures to improve financial and operational processes. 

## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE** 

Our fourth Business Plan (2023-28) will steer our strategic, financial, and operational planning activities over the next year and beyond. We will take learning from the pandemic and cost of living crisis and continue to work collaboratively to support communities to continue to recover and thrive during the next difficult years. Key future plans include: 

- Undertaking key stakeholder engagement to co-produce a vision and redevelopment framework including funding package for Chestnuts community Centre – possibly as an art and digital hub. 

- Continue promoting healthier, stronger and safer communities through self-help initiatives and early help and preventive health and wellbeing services alongside residents. 

- Continue to provide leadership across the borough to ensure greater understanding of the disparities and promote equitable access to services – particularly in relation to groups disproportionately affected by the impact of COVID-19 such as Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups and other deprived communities. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

The Bridge Renewal Trust is constituted as a limited company (No. 06949568) and registered charity (No. 1131941). It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association and stated charitable objects. 

## **Directors and Trustees** 

The Bridge Renewal Trust is led by a Board of Directors who are also its Trustees for the purpose of charity law. Trustees bring together a diverse set of skills and experience to set the strategic direction for the organisation. 

## **Appointment of Trustees** 

As set out in the Articles of Association, officers of the Board (Chair, Vice Chair and Treasurer) are nominated and appointed by Trustees at the Annual General Meeting. 

We currently have 9 Board members. Each year we carry out skills audit to identify training and development needs.  Currently we are running an open recruitment process to fill some skills gap 

31 



**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

that were identified during this process. This involves advertisement, shortlisting and interviewing by a designated small team of Trustees. The final decision to appoint a new Trustee is made by the Board of Trustees. The Board can consider and co-opt a Trustee based on specialist skills needed. 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

New Trustees undergo induction covering areas such as legal obligations under charity and company law, the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, the Bridge Renewal Trust Memorandum and Articles of Association and the decision - making process by the Board. New Trustees also get to meet other Trustees and key employees. There is also peer support from fellow Trustees and opportunities to attend external training. 

## **Organisation** 

The Board of Trustees meets quarterly, and the Finance and Investment Sub-Committee also meets as required. The Chief Executive is appointed by the Trustees to serve as the Company Secretary and to manage the day-to-day activities of the Charity. 

## **Related party and co-operation with other organisations** 

None of our Trustees receive remuneration or other benefit from their work with the charity. Any connection between a Trustee or a senior manager of the charity must be disclosed to the full Board of Trustees. In 2022-23, no such related party transactions were reported. 

## **The Trading Company-Bridge Renewal Services Ltd** 

The Bridge Renewal Services is a trading arm of the Bridge Renewal Trust. It was set up to facilitate the development of a healthy living pharmacy as well as to allow for the easy development of other social businesses. The company directors include the founding Trustees. In 2022-23 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 2023-24 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, Head of Programme Delivery, Director of Haringey Giving, Community Services & Facilities Manager, Community Empowerment Manager, and Finance and Monitoring Manager who are responsible for co-ordinating the delivery of services and facilities management.  In 2022-23, the workforce was comprised of 55 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. In 2023-24, we will continue to review our leadership and operational capacities and take appropriate actions as necessary. 

32 



**THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **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. In February 2023, Trustees approved a 2.25% cost of living pay rise for the entire work force with effect from 1 April 2023 to help mitigate the rising costs of living. This increase was informed by best practices within the sector – both locally and nationally. Overall remuneration is benchmarked against pay levels in similar sized organisations and adjusted for any additional responsibilities. 

## **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 (2022-23: 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 expenditures, 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. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to 

33 



## **THE BRIDGE RENEWAL TRUST TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT For the year ended 31 March 2023** 

ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Statement as to disclosure to our auditors** 

In so far as the Trustees are aware at the time of approving our Trustees’ annual report: 

- There is no relevant information, being information needed by the auditors in connection with preparing their report, of which the organisation’s finance staff is unaware, and 

- The Trustees, having made enquiries of fellow Directors and the organisation’s finance staff that they ought to have individually taken, have each taken all steps that he/she is obliged to take as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information. 

## **AUDITORS** 

The auditors, Price Bailey LLP, are deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Small Companies Exemption** 

This report has been prepared taking advantage of the small companies’ exemption of section 415A of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **APPROVAL**

**Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members 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 2023 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 2023, 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. 

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. 

35 



## **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. 

- 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 requirements 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. 

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: 

36 



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 Companies Act 2006. 

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. We also reviewed the latest risk register and legal fees in the period. 

Management override: To address the risk of management override of controls, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness. 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. 

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. 

## **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 RenewalTrust Notes to the Financial Statements year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **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) (effective 1st October Reporting 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 functional 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 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 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.

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 charitywhich 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 (photocopiers) 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 purchase of the same class of assets costing£1,000 or more are capitalised 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 

## **l) Investments** 

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

## **m)   Debtors**

## **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 2023 (continued)**

- Investments measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date; 

- Fixed assets are measured at cost less depreciation; 

The Invesments note11 details the historic cost of investments and the unrealised gains/(losses) to arrive at their fair value.The note also detailed the disposal of the investment during the year. 

## **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 contributions payable under the scheme by the charity to the fund.
