Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 May 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 31 May 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 charity's purposes, as set out in the Articles of Association, are to;

Significant activities

In common with most other charities this was a particularly difficult year in view of Covid 19 & related restrictions, which curtailed many normal activities & events, affecting our ability to raise funds from donations at those events etc, which is normally a major source of income.

Never the less the trustees & volunteers rose to the challenge & we were able to continue to provide support & counseling services along with food & supplies via our outreach services helping to feed the homeless at the times were were permitted to do so.

We would also like to thank;

Hargolds Trading Limited , who have continued to support UK Homes 4 Heroes Pride & Passion Since 2013 to include monthly donations to the Charity through the Sales of Squaddie Bars (flapjacks), which are made on the premises down in The Gro ve , Derril, Holsworthy, EX22 6YA.

The charity acquired a Mobile Home in a residential park in February 2020 to provide weekly breaks to ex service personnel, who it is considered would benefit from the opportunity of some respite from their daily lives.

Bookings were taken & the unit was brought into immediate use, however Covid 19 restrictions introduced in March 20 resulting in booking cancellations as it was not possible to provide this service throughout most of the financial year. It was hoped that the facility could be provided from Spring 2021 Covid restictions permitting.

In view of the demand for the service, a second Mobile Home was also required in May 2021 in order to increase the availability of the service as & when restrictions are lifted to enable us to do so.

Public benefit

How our activities deliver public benefit

In accordance with section 4 of the Charities Act 2006, the directors have due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on the requirement that the objectives and work undertaken by the charity are in line with charitable objectives and do provide for benefit for the public.

The charity has enabled homeless ex-service personnel, both men and women, to move towards enjoying a fulfilling life.

By working with individuals and organisation, the charity has enabled them to be re-housed and settled back into the community. There is ongoing support from the charity's outreach teams.

More information can be found on our website www.ukhomes4heroes.org.uk.

Volunteers

The Trustees would like to express their thanks to the volunteers, who are an essential part of the charity's infrastructure and without whose support, the charity could not continue to operate.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 May 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Principal sources of funds:

Normally the main funding of the charity during the year is from donations, primarily from the Just Giving website : ( https://www.justgiving.com/UKhomes4heroes ) £17,444 (2020 £44,179 ), plus this year £5173 (2020 £7,728) was also generated from the Paypal Giving Fund UK.

A Virtual Fitness event was held on Armistice day for the 2nd year raising £1954.

We were successful in obtaining Grant finance during the year totalling with the assistance of a specialist Fund Raiser.

This included restricted grants to assist specifically with our Outreach service for provision of food to the homeless, plus an element of unrestricted Core-funding to enable the charity to continue on despite the difficulties experienced during the year.

In addition the charity also normally relies upon collections at events, along with the sale of merchandising, which was considerably down during the year due to cancellation of events etc.

The charity also received a legacy of £23,896

We are particularly grateful for all who have donated and or generated sponsorship income during this difficult time.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The directors have reviewed the free level of reserves maintained, which are represented by unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets. The aim is to maintain reserves at a level to ensure that there should not be a reduction in income that the service could continue for at least three months at current rates of expenditure.

The unrestricted reserves at the balance sheet date were £122,880 (2020 £89,462) which covers at least three months regular expenditure..

Review of The Financial Position.

The results for the year are set out on pages 6 to 13.

The charity is generally dependent entirely on voluntary donations and we are grateful all of the support given this year.

In addition grants were received during the year to support the charity's outreach work & outdoor soup kitchen during Covid 19 restrictions.

Income decreased to £133,850 (2020 £139,413).

Expenditure increased to £100,432 (2020 £97,204)

This has meant that there was an overall funds inflow of £33,418 (2020 £42,209). leaving total funds of carried forward of £122,880 (2020 £89,462) .

FUTURE PLANS

Given the restrictions imposed in March 2020 the charity were unable to physically attend events for most of the year.

However, the trustees & volunteers concentrated their efforts on outreach services providing meals to those in need in the community during lockdown, over & above the levels already normally provided pre lockdown.

The charity is looking to expand its activities & hoping to be in a position to participate in Events as restrictions are hopefully gradually lifted during 2021/22.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

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

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation 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.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Plant and machinery - at varying rates on cost
Motor vehicles & equipment - 25% on reducing balance and at varying rates on cost
Office equipment - 25% on cost

A Mobile Home plus a Ford custom transit van are on HP & have been depreciated in line with the length of the HP agreement.

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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the Balance Sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

The cost of improvements to the Surdoc Centre (donated services) were depreciated in full during the year of acquisition (2015) as no formal lease was in place, although negotiations at the time were underway for a three year lease. Ultimately no formal lease had been entered into by the time the property was vacated in May 2021.

Accordingly the £40,000 short leasehold assets were dealt with as disposals from Short Leasehold assets on vacation.
