**LEATHERHEAD START** 

## **CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021** 

LeatherHead Start is a direct access hostel providing short term accommodation to both men and women over the age of 18. All of our clients have been through a period of trauma while being homeless and therefore have varying problems that need to be addressed, so that when they move on, they will be able to maintain their tenancy. 

Our vision is "To improve the lives of homeless people and encourage them towards future independent living." 

As the Coronavirus (C19) pandemic unfolded early last year, the Government rolled out a policy called 'Everyone in' to bring all homeless people off the streets and into accommodation. We decided to work closely with Mole Valley District Council in this endeavour, to maximise the efficiency of the service offered to our homeless clients and began to take all our referrals through the Council's Housing Needs Department and the East Surrey Outreach Service (eSOS) which is funded by the East Surrey local authorities. This has worked well and we are likely to go on taking our referrals this way, although we will always accept another agency or 'self' referral if the case has merit. 

The pandemic has prevented us from continuing to provide daytime activities during the reporting year as we were unable to have volunteers on the premises, however, some of these activities were delivered via Zoom. 

When clients arrive, they are booked in by our Client Services Co-ordinator (CSC). The CSC works regular daytime hours, enabling the needs of each client to be assessed and addressed promptly. At the beginning of each day the Client Services Co-ordinator will draw up a list of tasks for that day and Project Workers will work with the clients to ensure all are completed. We are aware that in recent years our client profile has become more demanding than in the past with many more of our clients having complex needs. Therefore, it is very important that we have full and accurate information from referral agencies, so that we can best help clients as they arrive. 

Move-on accommodation is made available by local longer-term supported housing providers such as Homegroup and Transform. Both these registered providers have experienced staff shortages during the pandemic and this had an  impact on our throughput at one stage. Clients might also move on to their own flat in the private sector (although this is rare) or more usually the local Housing Register for social housing. When clients move on, we have our own Tenant Support Worker, who will continue to give support as long as it is needed, it could be just for the first week or two, others will need support for longer. One or two may even return for brief support after many years of stability - our door is always open. 

During the reporting year our tenant support service has worked with 15 clients. For some it may just be helping to restore their benefits. However, for others it is a long process of ensuring they are progressing with their new tenancy and supporting them to ensure that they maintain it. 

Lockdown, due to the C19 virus, began in the last few weeks of the last reporting year and we immediately put into place measures in line with all the government guidelines to ensure that all clients were kept safe. This inevitably put extra pressure on our service, however, I am pleased to report that we have had no cases of COVID during the year 2020-2021. 

## **Staff** 

The Board wishes to thank the staff for their conscientious work during these difficult times. All staff have individual training plans in place that aim to enhance their ability to deliver LeatherHead Start aims for the benefit of our clients. Obviously, this past year's training has been online due to COVID restrictions. 

This year members of the staff team received training in: 

- Aggressive and difficult behaviours 

- Food hygiene 

- Professional boundaries 

- Psychological first aid 

- Dual Diagnosis, complex needs and personality disorder. 

- Counselling level 3 

- Croner online training; - Coronavirus, 

- Fire Safety 

- First Aid 

- Lone working

**LEATHERHEAD START** 

## **CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021** 

## **Garden Office** 

Towards the end of the of the financial year, we had a garden office built for our manager which includes a counselling room for one-to-one counselling sessions. This means that when all C19 restrictions are lifted we will be able to use the manager's old room, inside the main hostel building, for an additional client. The counselling room has already proved to be of great benefit, as it offers a more private space, freeing the larger, communal (Green) room for other meetings. 

## **East Surrey Outreach Service - eSOS** 

We continue to work with eSOS which is a partnership of East Surrey Councils: Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Epsom and Ewell, and Tandridge, working together to provide a homeless outreach service across East Surrey. These authorities fund the service which is currently run by Thames Reach, a London based charity working with the homeless. The aim is to reduce rough sleeping within the districts and to provide support and guidance to entrenched rough sleepers with complex needs as well as those facing homelessness for the first time. The outreach team have an office based in Redhill, and LeatherHead Start is supporting the service by providing two assessment beds which have been ring-fenced for eSOS referrals only. 

## **Clients** 

We are here first and foremost for the clients and during their time with us we want to make it as positive an experience as it can be, so that they will move on with confidence and hope for the future. In general, the clients responded well to the C19 restrictions and lockdowns, despite the increased stress of being cut off from familiar activities and relationships. Where clients expressed a need for support with mental health issues, we were able to connect them with the statutory agencies and services and/or with our professional counsellor who saw 12 clients for a total of 95 sessions during the year. 

Unfortunately, we were unable to continue with the Pickle Project due to C19 restrictions and we suspended client involvement on the allotment from the 23rd March 2020, the commencement of the first national lockdown. Life-skills sessions moved on-line and client attendance inevitably fell away, but we hope to resume face-to-face sessions at an appropriate time. 

The weekly house meetings have continued and prove to be most valuable in discussing issues with clients in order that we, in consultation with their input, are able to develop the service. They have been even more important this year and as new guidance has been issued, the Project Workers were able to update our clients. We have continued with the reward scheme which helps to motivate clients to attend activities. They are given their reward at the house meeting. 

Sadly, one of our clients in our move-on house, who had made great progress while he was with us, took his own life in September 2020. The family greatly appreciated the assistance of our Tenant Support Worker who was able to give help them make arrangements for the funeral and all the necessary paper work that has to be done at these difficult times. 

## **Volunteers** 

In all appropriate cases, volunteers have a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, before they start working with clients. 

We have a register of volunteers to call on if we need support with activities or meals provision. During the past year our volunteers haven't been able to come into the Hostel, but we wish to thank them for their continued support and interest at a difficult time. 

## **Board** 

Our regular face-to-face Board meetings had to be suspended due to the C19 restrictions. Nevertheless, we have kept in close communications via the Internet by continuing to have regular reports from the Manager, and the Tenant Support Worker. In light of these, the Board has taken actions, as appropriate, to reduce risk particularly in relation to the C19 virus. We also received an annual report of our performance in relation to our client services and bi-annual reports from the Treasurer showing our income and expenditure, to ensure both that our activities remain within budget and that we maintain a sufficient level of reserves. This will enable us to maintain operations for a period, currently 12 months, if major cuts were to be made to the funding we currently receive from public sector sources. We have continued to have regular GDPR monitoring meetings.

## **Move-on-House** - 3-bedroom house in North Leatherhead 

During the reporting year, one client has moved on to social housing and another has moved in and is bidding for social housing. Both clients are working and managing their rent payments well. We have decided to continue at present, to have our Resident Volunteer who occupies the third room, whilst working full time. We will review this situation in due course. Various repairs and maintenance have taken place during the year. We have reviewed the running costs and they are within budget. 

There have been no serious incidents to report at Leatherhead Start. 

In conclusion, we are fortunate to have such great support from our local community, which has been highlighted even more during this challenging year.  LeatherHead Start wishes to thank all for their encouragement and help.

**LEATHERHEAD START (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07284076)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objective of LeatherHead Start is to provide relief to those in necessitous circumstances in the Mole Valley district and in particular by the provision of temporary hostel accommodation and related services. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Details of the Charity's activities and achievement for the period are given in the Chair's Report and Annual Statistics. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Public benefit** 

LeatherHead Start aims to improve the lives of homeless people in the Mole Valley and encourage them towards future independent living. The Board confirm that they have complied with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Commission guidance on Public Benefit. 

All members of the Board give their time voluntarily. 

## **Financial review** 

The Charity made a deficit for the year of £50,476 (2020: Deficit of £27,419). We have maintained our reserves policy in order to sustain the organisation in case of possible future reductions in funding. 

## **Reserves policy** 

LeatherHead Start needs to maintain sufficient funds to cover future uncertainties. Whilst we know that we are delivering a first class and essential service, there is downward pressure on public spending and this is unlikely to abate soon. Our annual running costs are around £300,000, so any further reduction in the public funding we receive would quickly eat into our reserves. Our intention therefore is to maintain sufficient readily accessible funds in reserve in  order to allow Leatherhead Start to continue delivering services for homeless people for at least 12 months even if reductions in public funding became a serious problem. 

The trustees have designated funds equal to the net book value of fixed assets of the charity to better identify and manage the funds that are readily available. The total funds of the charity at 31 March 2021 were £716,719, of which £418,053 are unrestricted 'free' reserves. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association as amended on 28 April 2011. 

## **The Board** 

LeatherHead Start is managed by the Board, who are also the charity's trustees, which comprises up to 12 members elected at annual general meetings. Members of the Board receive no remuneration. The Board is responsible for raising funds, appointing project workers and incurring expenditure to ensure that the charity achieves its objectives. The Board sets policies, including health and safety, equal opportunities and financial control, and oversees their implementation by the Manager and staff. 

## **Recruitment, appointment and training of new trustees** 

Existing trustees invite potential new trustees to join having regard to the relevance of their experience to the work of the charity. The Board regularly consider the skills base of the existing members and consider the training needs of old and new members.

## **Income and grants** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Governance costs** 

Governance costs are those incurred in relation to the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 2% on cost Leasehold improvements - 20% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

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

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
