CHAIR'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
LeatherHead Start is a direct access hostel providing short term accommodation to both men and women over the age of 18. All our clients have been through a period of trauma while being homeless and so 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." In order to achieve our aim, we provide a 24/7 service.
During the reporting year we supported 49 clients. Of these, 38 clients left us during the year, of which (84%) were planned move-ons to accommodation providing more independent living. The average length of stay for these clients with us was 16 weeks.
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 CSC will draw up a list of actions and casework for that day and Support workers will work with the clients to ensure all are completed. We are aware that 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 we can best help clients as they arrive.
Move-on accommodation, which is largely shared accommodation, is made available by local longer-term supported housing providers such as Homegroup and Transform. Clients may also be eligible for the Housing Register and bid for their own tenancy in social housing. Occasionally clients obtain a tenancy in the Private Rented Sector. When clients move on to an independent tenancy, we have our own Tenant Support Worker who will continue to give support if 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 Worker has worked with 18 clients. Most of his work has been around ensuring clients are set up in new tenancies with rent and utilities arranged and budgeted for. He supports with attending appointments, managing health issues, helping with benefits and finances and liaising with other agencies. He has also responded throughout the year to occasional needs associated with tenants we have previously supported.

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 for 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 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 Leatherhead and LeatherHead Start is supporting the service by providing two assessment beds ring-fenced for eSOS referrals only. We accommodated 12 clients in the eSOS beds this reporting year.
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.
Below is a list of activities that have taken place during the reporting year.
Well-Being sessions continue to be held and below are the topics covered Adaptation of Goal Setting Assertiveness Boundaries Understanding Anxiety & Building Emotional Resilience Mood and music
Life Discovery Activity Day 8th March 2025 - Four clients attended the day and travel was included. They used Quadbikes, 4X4 Buggies, Mud Karts, Archery and lunch and dinner were provided.
Better Leisure Centre Leatherhead
17 clients applied for a six-week membership through LeatherHead Star at a reduced rate and were able to use all the facilities - Two clients applied twice and one applied three times.
One client had a bike provided by Grundy
Allotment All clients are encouraged to take part and we have had a very good harvest. The produce has been used by our chef in the evening meals, which has helped to reduce our shopping bill. We are grateful to an ex-client who is now our allotment manager and has produced lots of good quality fruit and vegetables for use in our meals. He sends us frequent updates with photographs.
The Mary Frances Trust We made three referrals so our clients were able to use their services
We have also have had an outside group organising meeting on Friday evenings to which our clients are welcome to attend dealing with any and all addictions.
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. We have continued with the reward scheme which helps to motivate clients to attend activities. They are given their reward at the house meeting.
Counselling We are very fortunate to have a partnership with a professional counsellor who treats our clients for half her usual hourly rate which we fund on their behalf. This year she saw two clients before she became unwell for a period. However, she is now well and thankfully will resume her work with us very soon.
Alliance for Better Care - Health Checks 12 clients had a health check and all had good results and we were complemented on the healthy food provided for the clients .

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 some of whom provide us with evening meals when our Chef is away. We wish to thank them for their continued support.
Board
At our Board meeting we discuss reports from the Manager, and the Tenant Support Worker and reports covering our five aims from Board members. We also receive 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, so that we can maintain operations for a period, currently 12 months, if major cuts are made to the funding, we currently receive from public sector sources. We have made several applications to funders who support charities like ours and will continue to do so, as funding is our major concern so that we can continue the very valuable service in our area.
We continue to have regular GDPR monitoring meetings.
Move-on House - 3-bedroom house in North Leatherhead
During the reporting year we have accommodated two clients both are working and are bidding for social housing. We have decided to continue, at present, to retain our Resident Volunteer who occupies the third room whilst studying 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. The arrangements to receive housing benefit are running smoothly. One client has some arrears and a Standing Order has been put in place to help him manage these so that when he moves on these will not forfeit opportunities to obtain a tenancy.
The Environment
Our energy supplier continues with a British renewable energy group specialising in sustainable energy. Our extension has a green roof which is maintained regularly. We have an allotment using organic practices to grow our own vegetables and some fruit, we add the office shreddings to the compost heap. The allotment is a plastic free area.
Serious incidents
There have been no serious incidents in this reporting year to report at LeatherHead Start.
In conclusion, we are fortunate to have such great support from our local community and LeatherHead Start wishes to tank all for their encouragement and help.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
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 2025. 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 £68,260 (20234: deficit of £70,976). 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 2025 were £500,571 of which £243,710 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF LEATHERHEAD START
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LeatherHead Start ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
