Trustees' Report, incorporating the Directors' Report

for the year ended 30 June 2024

The Trustees of Hackney Doorways present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Hackney Doorways is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 3 November 2009 and registered as a charity on 23 November 2010. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 each.

Management

The board of trustees are the directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006 and are responsible for overseeing the charity's development and management. A list of those who served during the year is given on page 3. The trustees all give their time freely and none have any financial interest in the charity. No trustees were remunerated for their services as trustees for the year.

Risk mitigation

The board has examined the principal areas of the charity's operations and considered the major risks which may arise in each of these areas. In the opinion of the trustees the charity has established resources and review systems which, under normal conditions, should allow the risks identified by them to be mitigated to an acceptable level in its day to day operations.

Chair's foreword

As we settled into our new main mixed shelter, from July 2023 to June 2024, we provided emergency shelter for 198 people. This is almost double that of the previous year, thanks to our move to larger premises and the continued success of our women’s shelter, now in its fifth year. Our guests included 83 women, 114 men and 1 non-binary person. With ages ranging from 18 to 74, the majority of our guests were from black and minority ethnic backgrounds (86%).

Most of our guests (87%) were able to move on into positive, stable, longer-term accommodation. To avoid returning anyone to the street we typically extend our guests’ stay with us until secure accommodation is found; the average stay is 45 nights. Almost a quarter (24%) were able to retain or secure paid employment. This can be key to a successful move out of homelessness.

Despite cost-of-living challenges for our community, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and funders, we remain open 365 nights in the year, providing 26 bed spaces every night for people who would have otherwise been sleeping on the street.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported us in the past year to continue our work. Without you, this would not be possible. From our Hackney Half runners, to our first brave Sleep Out volunteers to over a thousand people who came along to our Belter for the Shelter comedy evening. From the generosity of those putting on gigs, undertaking challenges and purchasing our bespoke prints and cards, the spirit of the people of Hackney never ceases to amaze us all. In the words of the iconic Hackney Dave, “Hackney is always a good idea”.

I would also like to thank our volunteers (including my fellow Trustees) and our amazing staff team for their passion, commitment, expertise and compassion. And to our landlords, Hackney Borough Council for providing our new main shelter site, to complement our women only shelter, The Manse which we continue to lease from the United Reform Church.

With homelessness now at record levels in the UK, demand for our service continues to grow. This year has seen both our shelters consistently at or near full capacity. High rents, insecure tenancies, housing benefit cuts and ongoing shortages of social housing all contributed to the 19% rise in rough sleeping in Hackney year on year. A significant factor to this has been the change in arrangements for the withdrawal of accommodation and support for asylum seekers granted leave to remain. Refugees evicted from their previous Home Office asylum seekers accommodation accounted for a devastating rise of 17% in the new rough sleepers in London during the year.

Thank you all.

Trustees' Responsibilities Statement for the year ended 30 June 2024

The trustees (who are the directors of Hackney Doorways for the purpose of company law) 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 affairs of the charitable company and of its 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:

a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
b) Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
c) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
d) Follow applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;
e) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which 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 and charity legislation. 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hackney Doorways

I report on the accounts of Hackney Doorways for the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 16.

This report is made solely to the trustees as a body in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the trustees as a body, for my examination, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As described on page 6, the trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the the Charities Act and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
b) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 Act, or
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 Charities SORP (FRS102).
I 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.

Accounting Policies

for the year ended 30 June 2024

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:

a) Applicable UK accounting standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), including section 1A'.
b) 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 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102);
c) the Companies Act 2006.

Public benefit entity

The charitable company meets the defination of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue to operate and accordingly the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Income recognition

Income is recognised when the charity has a contractual or other right to its receipt, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably. Income with conditions attached to its receipt is recognised when those conditions have been fulfilled.

Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income from the recovery of tax on gift aided donations is accounted for in the period to which the relevant donation is received. Grant income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

Expenditure recognition

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the charity’s objects. In the case of an unconditional grant offer this is accrued once the recipient has been notified of the grant award. The notification gives the recipient a reasonable expectation that they will receive the grant. Grants awards that are subject to the recipient fulfilling performance conditions are only accrued when the recipient has been notified of the grant and any remaining unfulfilled condition attaching to that grant is outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to the independent examination and legal fees.
Rentals under operating leases are charged as incurred over the term of the lease.

Deferred income

Income received which is contractually or otherwise not expendable until a future period is deferred to the period in which it meets the criteria for income recognition.

Restricted Funds

Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as laid down by the funder. Direct and support expenditure which meets these criteria are identified to the fund together with a fair allocation of other costs.

Unrestricted Funds

Unrestricted funds are funds received which have no restrictions placed on their use and are available as general funds.

Allocation of costs

Costs are allocated directly to projects where they can be identified as relating solely to that project. Other costs are allocated between the funds based on staff time spent on the fund activities or other appropriate criteria.

Pensions

The charity operates defined contribution schemes which are administered by outside independent pensions providers. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Restricted funds (continued)

Projects financed by restricted funds are supported by unrestricted funding where necessary. This occurs where the funding is in arrears or the incidence of expenditure on the project occurs disproportionately at the beginning of the project compared to the income flows. Where restricted projects end the year with a deficit, this is met by after year-end restricted income or transfers from unrestricted funds.
