Public benefit
Throughout the year 23/24 we have run the following activities from our two bases – the Haven and the Hub (at 1, Faraday Avenue, Quinton):
Food Pantry
The Pantry has run, in partnership with B32 CIC, from the Hub on Thursday and Friday mornings. It has supported over 173 families with affordable food, recording 1562 attendances from these families over the course of the year. Alongside the Pantry we have been able to offer support from various organisations such as Birmingham City Council. We also have a Citizens Advice Bureau clinic running weekly at the Haven
Community Café/Warm Welcome
We run a twice weekly café at the Haven offering food on a pay as you feel basis and a space to meet other people. We also run Warm Welcome at the Hub three mornings a week and on Saturday evenings. We are linked to others in the city to run all these as a ‘Warm Welcome’, meaning that people are able to find our services through various networks. We saw 322 people attend our cafes and recorded 2506 attendances from those individuals.
Youth
We have been running our music and media sessions both for boys and for girls, and also a film club. We have seen 141 children/youth attend these sessions across the year.
Summer Activities
We ran a children’s club on week days over 4 weeks in the summer. We provided each child with a cooked meal and ran different activities through the week. 160 children attended these sessions.
Stay and Play and Women’s Group
We have restarted our Stay and Play and Women’s group towards the end of the year. 23 ladies have attended the 13 sessions that we have run.
One to One Support and Signposting
We continue to support local residents with various issues such as housing, benefits and online access. We also signpost to Harborne Parish Lands and other organisations that can help them. We have helped 207 different individuals in this way this year.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
Use of volunteers
Volunteers are the life blood of everything we do at the Haven. We have over 15 volunteers signed up to our volunteers programme. Volunteers have the opportunity to get involved with many aspects of the work done at the Haven and currently help run our groups as well as collecting food and doing essential shopping to keep the Centres ticking running. We hold volunteer celebration events and provide training and mentoring tailored to each volunteer’s needs.

Achievements and performance
Due to our success in funding last year, we have had stability over this last year.
The funding has enabled us to continue running the Pantry at our Hub and run regular cafes and groups at the Haven and also at the Hub..
The HAF project in the summer was a really positive event where we ran summer activities for many local children over a 4 week period
Our youth programme has also been particularly successful this year, supporting local children and youth.
Financial review
The financial results are shown on pages xx to xx of this report.
We received £41,600 from Henry Smith towards youthwork
We received £95,462.50 from Reaching Communities to support our wages and outreach to the community. This includes the Pantry; office costs; café; community groups.
We received £6,000 from the Red Cross to support our utility costs, food pantry and volunteer costs
We received £12,300 from HAF to cover the cost of a Summer Children’s work
We received £15,000 from Garfield Weston to cover the costs of running the Haven
We received £6,400 from Birmingham City Council to support our Pantry and some youthwork too.
We received £5,500 from Birmingham City Council to support our work at the Hub
We also received donations of £500 each from National Express and Lidl
Policy on reserves
The trustees consider the appropriate level of free reserves they should retain is between 20% and 23% of the annual committed expenditure of the charity, which equates to approimately £23,000 to £26,000 in general funds. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. At present the charity has free reserves of £36,183 (2023: £28,375).

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Haven Community Project ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.
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
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 Haven Community Project 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.

The Haven Community Project
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
1 Charity status
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
2 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)- (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
Basis of preparation
The Haven Community Project meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
Income and endowments
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Page 10
The Haven Community Project
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Governance costs
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees meetings and reimbursed expenses.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
| Asset class | Depreciation method and rate |
|---|---|
| Leasehold improvements | Straight Line 5% |
| Plant and Machinery | 25% reducing balance |
| Catering Equipment | 25% reducing balance |
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Page 11
The Haven Community Project
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
Financial instruments
Classification
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.
Recognition and measurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), except for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss, which are initially measured at fair value (which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or c) the charity, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires.
