Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
One Community Gloucester is a multifaceted Christian-based charity serving local, national and international needs. It is a charitable arm of One Church and was established in 2010 to help further the work of One Church working locally in our city, nationally in the UK and internationally.
To further the above objects and vision, the charity offers supported housing to vulnerable women. The charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
One Church Housing
Successfully moved a resident out of supported housing as she had completed her support and felt able to live independently. She has settled well, is planning on getting married and has become involved in a church, so is established in a new community.
A resident successfully moved out of supported housing into private accommodation, is still engaged in One Church Glos activities and her personal recovery, and is planning to join the support team once the residents who lived with her have moved on. She is holding down a fulltime job and due to be promoted already.

One Church Housing continued
One longer-term resident is holding down regular volunteering, with the view to this becoming paid employment in the future.
Over 2021, we have significantly focused on the development of team and their pastoral care, as the project had become very reliant on a few volunteers over the pandemic, and we needed to build sustainability.
We held a recruitment drive in One Church Gloucester and recruited an additional 3 members of the maintenance team, and an additional 5 members to the care team. This now means we have a team of 4 trained mentors, 2 team members supporting socials and 1 volunteer delivering relaxation and mindfulness. We intend making recruitment drives and training induction a regular event.
We introduced more rigorous screening (through OC safeguarding and recruiting systems) and training, as volunteers are less likely to be known to us.
The increase in income from housing benefit has helped us increase staffing and we were able to recruit a paid administrator for a few hours a week to support the manager.
Monthly supervision and training nights were implemented for team, which includes opportunities to reflect on current residents, their care and needs.
Eddie Rich has taken over from Jon Jarvis as our management liaison, which is providing additional support logistically on an ad-hoc basis as well as monthly management meetings. Also, there was a change to the directorate with David Jeavons stepping down.
An experienced volunteer is now helping every Friday afternoon to support the long-term development of the housing project.
We are grateful to a donor who gave us a small grant to help a resident who was ready to move out of the supported housing we provide.
Challenges
Developing a sustainable model that provides excellent quality care for residents that transitions residents towards independent living, while also protecting staff and volunteers' personal boundaries and availability. We have withdrawn the 24-hour emergency number and introduced protocols with residents so that they are aware of what to do in different circumstances, such as when to ring crisis team, police, 111, etc rather than expecting the housing team to always be available.
Our income (principally housing benefit) only allows us to employ a few staff and consequently we are reliant on volunteers for much of the care we provide. The residents often present with complex and at times stressful issues during house meetings, both personally and through the house dynamics of living together, which needs time and support at that time, which take time to support. They will also reach out for additional support from staff when are struggling, such as with mental health, finances, or recovery issues. The limited funded hours available from housing benefit leads to workload issues for staff, and difficulties in completing the larger, strategic elements of the project. We have recently developed a practice of running the house meeting in 2’s, when the residents are more unsettled and tensions are higher as a way of supporting staff wellbeing, but this further constrains available working hours.

Challenges continued
Residents need to meet a high threshold of need to be eligible for ESA housing benefit (probation, recent addiction, domestic abuse and/ or homelessness), yet we need residents to be able to live semiindependently as our support is delivered through several contact points in the week. At times, residents may present with additional needs beyond their initial referral and they then need more support than we can offer at present. This can be common as residents feel safer from their trauma, and so their mental or physical health may deteriorate as they begin to process what they went though. Finding more suitable accommodation for their level of need, when there is so little supported housing at this level, or moving on to independent living, can be difficult.
• Our referrers are now wider but remain limited while we have a small number of bed spaces, as we often do not have space. Due to our model and working hours, we also cannot transition new residents in quickly, so are not always suitable.
Due to the costs we need to incur to provide our service, we were successful in applying for increased income from Housing Benefit. This led to increased staffing hours and made it possible to use contractors for maintenance. Although this was in line at the time with costs, continued challenges of workload and rising energy costs means these figures need reviewing again with the council in 2022.
We have enjoyed a period of relative occupancy stability across the majority of 2021, housing either 3 or 4 residents, with an overall occupancy rate of 85%, and with most residents staying for longer periods of time and so able to access more help and support. Our annual budget allows for 10% of voids, so we are not yet reaching financial targets, but are in a much stronger position. Sometimes, with management agreement, we chose to let the residents settle after a challenging resident moves on before allowing a new resident to move in. Through 2021, we have housed a total of 5 residents and had 16 enquiries leading to 7 referrals in total. As we now have an initial discussion call when we receive an enquiry, we are now only receiving referrals when we have spaces and enquiries are likely to be successful.
Although our occupancy has been a little lower than ideal, due to current underspend on the upkeep of the house, we have not needed additional funds. We are also in the position to be able to use contractors for more maintenance work rather than be as reliant on volunteers, although we do always try to recruit volunteers first if appropriate. For instance, we have used contractors for new stairs carpet and chimney repairs.

Looking forward
The need to develop sustainability across the project is significant, both for now and its future. We are seeking guidance from external providers and Green Pastures, to further develop sustainability, while supporting staff and volunteer well-being. Continuing to recruit, train and look after our team will remain a focus. As a management team, we are planning steps towards change and seeking to develop flow across our workload to increase capacity for strategic development. Sourcing supervision for the housing manager is also a priority, as the emotional load of dealing with people’s mental and recovery needs can be significant, and we are looking to work more supportively together as management. Ironically, if we had double the beds, we would not have double the workload as some activities could run across both, yet we would have double the staffing availability and finances. We still need to develop sustainability in team and recruit additional volunteers before this is a viable option however, and to continue to develop our referral pathways and tracking systems.
In planning the activities, the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees/directors who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity.
Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a senior management team led by Eddie Rich and the Housing Manager
New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £10,031, to £43,212 and expenditure increased by £8,891 to £35,602.
Most of our income comes from the housing benefit we receive in respect of our various residents. During 2021 we received housing benefit of £40,325 (2020: £31,435); at full occupancy we would have received £47,476 i.e. our occupancy rate in 2021 was 85%.
As a result of the increase in income from housing benefit, we have not had to ask One Church for any financial assistance in 2020 and 2021. In 2018 and 2019 One Church provided grants totalling £40,000 to help support the service.
Expenditure increased by £8,891, or 33%. This was mainly due to an increase of £3,441 in staff costs (mainly due to the employment of an additional part time member of staff) and the rent we pay to to Green Pastures increased by £3,376 to £18,600 (albeit this was offset by an increase in the housing benefit we receive).
Overall the surplus for the year was £7,611 (2020: £6,469) and the charity's net assets increased by £7,611 to £25,166. Net assets includes cash of £25,913, nearly all of which is unrestricted.
Going concern
The trustees, having reviewed all financial and other obligations expect the charity to continue to operate as normal for the foreseeable future.
One Church remains fully supportive of the project and together we will continue to review on-going viability.
Page 6
Reserves policy
The trustees/directors have determined that the charity should aim to hold cash of no less than £9,000, which equates to about 3 months of expenditure so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held cash of £25,913 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. The trustees are exploring whether some of these reserves should be spent to improve the service that the charity is seeking to provide.
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
All major insurance risks are subject to normal volunteer insurance. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into, to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the charity’s ability to fulfil its objectives.
An annual review of all areas of risk is undertaken by the trustees/directors in conjunction with volunteers responsible for the area of activity.
In the past the major risk has been the housing project's financial viability however the recent increases in income and the accummulation of some reserves has helped reduce this risk and the project is now believed to be on a sound financial footing.
Grant Making Policy
Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Trustees on the basis of need and the fulfilment of the charitable objectives. There are no upper or lower limits of support.
Future Plans
The key strategies for the charity are as stated above. The Trustees/directors continue to review future strategic requirements.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have considered the requirements of the Charities Act to ensure that the Charity meets its obligations in respect of Public Benefit. The Trustees believe that the above report demonstrates the Charity’s commitment to the community in which it is based, its achievements during the year and its future plans. This in their opinion satisfies the requirement of Public Benefit.

Responsibilities of trustees under company law
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements 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 which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from providing accommodation in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.
The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
b) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Page 12
ONE COMMUNITY GLOUCESTER
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
c) Funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
d) Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £2,000 when they are written off when purchased. To date no expenditure has been incurred that needs to be capitalised.
e) Leased assets
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
f) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
g) Cashflow statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year.
h) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).

The restricted Housing fund and the designated Housing fund
In the previous year the income received from the provision of supported housing was credited to a restricted Housing fund and used to meet the cost of providing accommodation and support to vulnerable women. However the trustees have noted that this income does not come with conditions that amounted to a restriction therefore in 2021 this restricted fund was allowed to run down and the income received in 2021 from the provision of supported housing has been credited to a new designated fund with the same purpose.
The restricted Residents fund
