## _**Objects of the Charity**_ 

To relieve financial hardship amongst those seeking asylum, and those granted refugee status, and their dependents who are destitute and living temporarily or permanently in Bristol and the surrounding areas, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of temporary accommodation, advice, information, support and advocacy, for the public benefit. 

Such other charitable purposes for the public benefit and the benefit of those seeking asylum, and those granted refugee status, and their dependents who are destitute in such ways as the trustees shall determine. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Bristol Hospitality Network (BHN) continued to work to support people who find themselves destitute while seeking asylum.

## **Bristol Hospitality Network** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## _**Hosting**_ 

To provide accommodation to people who would otherwise be homeless, BHN continued to operate a men’s hostel (BHN House) throughout the year, as well as coordinating a network of host households. 

We hosted a total of 14 members at our men’s house, with seven moving out, ending the year with two spare rooms for new members (which are being fixed up and redecorated).  Some went to friends, others to a new host home and some onto Home Office accommodation. With the support of grant funders we have made repairs and improvements, including a new sofa, dining table and stove this year. 

We launched our Host Expansion Project in conjunction with Bristol City Council and the Bristol Mayor Marvin Rees on 5th August 2020, covered by BBC Points West and various other local and national news outlets. Ten new households came forward happy to host an asylum seeker housed by the council under the Government’s ‘Everyone In’ campaign.  Across the year, we accommodated 40 asylum seekers experiencing destitution and we provided a total of 9,491 nights of accommodation. BHN members stayed in 24 different host households (family homes), 1 collegiate accommodation (Trinity College) and 1 supported accommodation for young people (The Foyer). We recruited 9 new Host households during the year. We ended the year with three members on our waiting list who were currently in council-funded hotels and many more on our general waiting list. 

Our hosted members came from 17 countries, predominantly the Middle East and North Africa.  The length of time that people were placed in accommodation varied and continued to average several months.  We continue to support our hosted members through our network of volunteers and hosts and are always seeking new hosts to support destitute asylum seekers in Bristol, including providing moveon accommodation for those who were temporarily housed by the local authority during the crisis period. 

## _**Other core activities**_ 

In previous years the weekly ‘Welcome Centre’ drop-in session was attended by around 100 people per week (average 114 per week in 2019/20).  The support offered included a hot lunch, the chance to socialise in a safe environment, ESOL teaching, games, art, and free haircuts.  In response to government Covid-19 guidelines, we temporarily closed the Welcome Centre from the end of March 2020.  Instead of in-person meetings, we took our support for members out into the city and online.  We made regular welfare calls to asylum seeker members, our volunteers delivered solidarity fund and food supplies to our hosted members, and we provided language support online.  We continue to review government advice in our plans for re-opening the Welcome Centre in the year ahead. 

The specialist destitution Help Team continued to provide advocacy support to members during the year.  Covid caused a huge crisis in homelessness, and we were lucky to have good partners in Bristol City Council, the Red Cross and Bristol Refugee Rights. The Council accommodated around 40 homeless people seeking protection as part of ‘Everyone In’, and we worked together to make sure we could establish their asylum status, work out what needed to be done next, and identify any accommodation options. We focussed on meeting those people who came onto our waiting list as soon as possible, so we could start to assist with their asylum claims and make as much progress as possible whilst they were still accommodated. 

Over the year we worked with 44 people, mostly on: 

- helping people to understand asylum processes and find evidence for their claims 

- finding and liaising with solicitors 

- helping people set up and manage remote calls with medical and legal professionals 

- access to healthcare and mental health support 

- negotiating NHS fees and payments 

- applying for Home Office accommodation once their fresh asylum claim had been made.

## **Bristol Hospitality Network** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

We continued to develop member engagement, including the activities of our speakers’ group.  While we couldn’t meet in person or attend events, we stayed in communication to plan opportunities for our members to share about asylum-seekers, destitution, and BHN. 

Volunteers continued to play a key role in the organisation, and we are very grateful to them.  In addition to our 24 volunteer host households, we were supported by a further 22 volunteers during the year, including trustees.  We usually see many of our beneficiaries volunteering in some capacity, particularly at the Welcome Centre, however this was not possible in the last year due to the closure of the Welcome Centre and restrictions due to Covid-19.  As a result of this we had fewer volunteers than in previous years (149 volunteers in 19/20).  We look forward to seeing more volunteers again soon. 

We ceased all catering and event activities under Moveable Feast from April 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions and this has not yet resumed.  ‘Moveable Feast’ provides catering for public and private events, including weddings, birthdays, pop-up events, meetings and conferences.  It contributes to our charitable objectives by empowering member volunteers, providing training and skills development, an opportunity for community engagement, and for members to contribute by raising awareness about our charitable activities and raising funds for the charity.  Any surplus generated is used for funding core activities.  There was £1,000 net surplus generated from this activity in the year (£7,000 in 19/20), this was generated from activity that took place in the previous year. 

## _**Public Benefit**_ 

The trustees have complied with their duty under Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. 

## _**Financial Position**_ 

The organisation finished the year with a surplus of c£104,000.  While voluntary and donation income fell by 4% in the year, the level of grant funding raised increased significantly as the organisation took on substantially more restricted grant income to cover the emergency response to the Covid-19 situation, with around two thirds of total income coming from grant funding, some of which is raised in advance for projects in the next financial year.  Of the non-grant income, around three-quarters of this came from regular donors, whose support provides a solid foundation for BHN’s activities.  There was no trading income from Moveable Feast as this was unable to operate during the national lockdown and ongoing restrictions.  Expenditure increased by 9% (vs 18% increase in 19/20), reflecting the ongoing growth in the activities of the charity in response to need.  These increases included a significant increase in solidarity fund payments to support our members and an increase in staffing costs with a growing team. 

## _**Future Developments**_ 

We expect costs to increase by 15-20% next financial year following our Host Expansion project and our intention to increase total headcount.  In contrast, we expect a c40% drop in income next year as one-off emergency grant funding is not expected to recur.  We have built up reserves in the current year and expect to draw upon these in the year ahead to fund our ongoing activities. 

Since the year end, we continue to review operations in response to the changing Covid-19 situation. We would like to re-open the Welcome Centre when possible and continue to review the government advice in considering any plans for re-opening.  We continue to support our hosted members through our network of volunteers and hosts and to seek new hosts to support destitute asylum seekers in Bristol, including providing move-on accommodation for those who were temporarily housed by the local authority during the crisis period. 

There is continued demand for the provision of accommodation and solidarity for destitute asylum seekers in Bristol, which is the core activity of BHN.  The organisation has continued to raise sufficient grants and donations to cover operating costs to date, with campaigns planned and a strategy in place to raise the required funds to ensure that the organisation can continue to operate and to meet its financial obligations for at least the next 12 months and with reasonable expectation for the foreseeable future.  As such, BHN continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

## **Bristol Hospitality Network** 

## **Year Ended 31 March 2021** 

## _**Reserves Policy**_ 

The Trustees typically aim to have three to six months total expenditure available in unrestricted reserves.  This is to allow sufficient time to respond if income is reduced, giving the organisation time to find alternative income streams, or to scale back activities if required.  A significant proportion of our income comes from voluntary donations; we rely on the ongoing support of our regular donors. 

During the year the Trustees made an explicit decision for the charity to raise additional grant funding to cover the emergency Covid-19 response, while allowing voluntary donation income to be set aside to build up reserves.  This was due to an expectation of a c15-20% increase in forecast expenditure and the anticipation of a challenging fundraising environment in the year ahead (with expectations of a c40% drop in income next year).  While our members’ support needs have not diminished, we anticipate less emergency Covid-related funding will be available in the coming year and that we will therefore need to call upon these reserves to maintain the services we offer to destitute asylum seekers.  Total free reserves at year-end correspond to unrestricted reserves of £160,427, which represents ten months’ expenditure (at 2020-21 spending levels). 

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities in relation to the Financial Statements** 

The trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- 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 adequate 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. 

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

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to the small companies regime as set out in part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

Approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees** 

I report on the unaudited accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2021 set out on pages 9 -18. 

## **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. 

As the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Accounting Technicians (MAAT). 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **1       Accounting policies** 

- a) The financial statements have been prepared 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) effective on 1[st] January 2015, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

Under the SORP 2015, where there is no specific requirement to adopt a specific accounting requirement a charity may follow their existing accounting policies provided that the policies and disclosures made are consistent with accepted accounting practice.  This charity has decided that the accounting policies set out below, which it followed prior to SORP 2015, shall continue to be followed. 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

- b) Income from donations is included in income when this is received, except as follows: 

   - a. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. 

   - b. When donors impose conditions, which must be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until such conditions have been met. 

- c) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred.  Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

- d) Most expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and has been included in those cost categories.  Support costs have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity. 

- e) Rentals applicable to operating lease agreements where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

- f)   Financial Instruments: The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value, with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
