Chalrfs Report
I have chalred the Trustees of Community Focus ICFI since Aprll 2022. During this year the
charity has grown stronger: not only internally, as its management and Trustees have learned
to work together more effettively; but also externally. as CF ha5 reathed out to develop
exciting new partnerships with other organisations. We have created, and more importantly
maintair￿. a diverse Board of Tru5tee5 who each bring their own unique 5killsets, including:
not only a student from one of our In-house dasses. who represents and speaks for hSs peers;
but also the parent of an In-house student who has prevlously attended our Short Breaks {1(
18yrsl and ARTlculate11&25yrsl programmes. Many of our Trustees Ilve locally, and so we
see ourselves as representatlves of a community in Barnet and the surrounding boroughs.
These local connections are particularly important: they allow us to malntaln strong
relationship5 With the stakeholders who benefit from our service5.
Stability and sustainability are key iNlicators to good performance in the Third Sector and
this continuity can only be achieved through regular communication. Our Board of Trustee5
meets at least four tlmes a year. and Individual Trustees support CF'S students and staff by
participating in events and exhibitions in and around the borough. As Chalr, I meet wlth the
Chlef Executlve on a fortnightly basis to provlde advice on speclfic issues and mentorship
more generally. The Board advise the Chief Executive, helping promote clear pathways and
processes as CF continues to grow In a positive and progressive dlrection.
Attending the Winter and Summer exhibition5 of our students, work. at Friary House and
elsewhere, offers a very tanglble and dlrect way of appreclatlng not On￿ our beneficlaries,
achlevements as artlsts but also how thelr Ilves are enrlched through thelr creatlon of art.
They learn many soft skllls by partlclpatlng In our onsite and onllne arts actlvitles, ski115 that
can be used In dally Ilfe and in the workplace- time management, budgetln& communicating,
sharlng a safe space and soclallslng with multlple Indlvlduals in a serles of group
envlronments. CF has done well to seture annual as well as multl.year grants f rom two large
funder5 that focus in particular on supporting young people with additional needs In
education settin85 and those not in employment or training. Our woik with these young
people provides them wlth much needed and effective support as they make the transltlon
to adult lrfe.
Friary House, where CF is based, is a buildin8 Wlth rich historical significance. It is also an
agelng bulldln& and with age comes uncertainty about the costs of its upkeep. Despite this
uncertalnty we remain optimistic about Friary House, and believe that it has the potential to
serve many more people in the local community. We are consCiOUS that the Borough owns
the building and is responsible for strurtural repair5 if and when needed. CF is hopeful that
the social beneflt we provlde lindudlng to many vulnerable children. young people and
adults) wlll increase, together with continued communications wlth Barnet will help us move
forward In developlng Frlary House as a communlty hub.

CF Is an accesslble Independent mU￿1-d[sc1plInary arts ￿ntre provldlng arts actfvltles within
the London Borough of Barnet and surroundin8 areas. We continue to offer three main
pro8rammes for public benefit: In-house, ARTiculate and Short Breaks. These are sulted for
range of 140 indNiduals with additional needs and disabilities, ranging from children as young
as ten years to vulnerable adults In their nlneties. I have seprtj as Chlef Executfve for only
four years. Reflecting on all the opportunities CF has provided to Its beneficlaries over the
past four years reveals more dearly what the charty stands for.. creatlng proactrve and
productive platforms to help Individuals develop p05itive skillsets, s¢xial networks and
ambitlons or simply attend a safe space to enjoy the company of others throu8h the arts.

## **Achievements and performance** 

## **Financial review** 

## **Financial performance** 

**The financial circumstances during the current period continue to show improvement despite a series of challenges. Our financial performance indicates a net surplus of £13,805 (2022: £14,098}, for the fourth consecutive year which has been exceptional considering the difficult trading conditions faced by all in recent times. We continue to be indebted to the support of all the donors and contributors who have helped sustain Community Focus.** 

**We aim to build on the strength of current programmes and value generation for our stakeholders and continue to explore corporate sustainability to align with various CF activities going forward.** 

**The balance sheet at the year-end shows net assets of £129,140 (2022: £115,336). The charity is working hard to secure additional funding to further the charitable activities whilst maintaining reserves in accordance with our constitution.** 

**As part of self-sustainability initiatives, revenue streams transitioned, and costs efficiencies were optimised to build a platform for our long-term strategy to provide quality services to our students. Our application to Arts Council Cultural Recovery Fund in 2020 proved to be a major turnaround for the charity, as this success allowed us to strengthen our finances whilst giving us the opportunity to leverage additional prospects for fund raising and scalability of operations.** 

## **Reserves policy** 

**It is the policy of the charity to maintain total reserves equivalent to three months of working capital. It is considered that this is sufficient to provide a safety net in the event of unanticipated expenditure. The reserves policy was not complied during the year, trustees undertook several initiatives to ensure compliance consistency and alignment with strategic plan for CF described in the financial review section.** 

**The charity has net assets of £129,140 (2022: £115,336). This was driven largely from the funding obtained during the year which not only sustained operations but allowed CF to maintain its reserves. The charity is continuing to work on number of initiatives including leveraging from current fund sources and expanding base with innovative programs along with building our network to explore growth options to assist corporate world in meeting their Corporate Sustainability ambitions. The charity is also working on cost efficiency initiatives.** 

_**13**_ 



**communityfocus** THE ALL INCLUSIVE ARTS CENffiE • 

**LBB are supportive of the Charity and will work with the Charity to ensure that this does not have an adverse effect on the Charity's ability to operate. The reduction of rent and our strategic initiatives will reduce our net liabilities post year-end and we are aiming to ensure a continued net current asset position in 2023/2024. The Trustees, therefore, consider that the going concern assumption is an appropriate basis on which to prepare these financial statements.** 

## **Future plans** 

**Our future plans are focussed on two key elements:** 

**1. Increasing unrestricted income** 

**2. Replicating successful programmes** 

**Unrestricted income is critical to the future success and sustainability of Community Focus. Reliance on grant-based income is not compatible with the cuts that may lie ahead in the public sector.** 

**We have become increasingly self-sustainable by proactively securing project-based funding which has helped ensure future delivery. We endeavour to keep our core (in house) costs as low as possible but plan to increase costs in the near future to ensure they are still affordable and in line with our competitors' cost plans.** 

**With regards to replicating our service, we are also considering providing a full day offer of our services. This would help ensure that our clients can arrive at CF in the morning, safe in the knowledge that a creative and action-packed day will await them; capitalising on what we do best at CF -** _**nurture and create.**_ 

**ARTiculate programme is well respected in other London Boroughs, and we are in discussion with community leaders regarding the viability of extending the model outside of Barnet. This would give CF a broader geographical footprint, opening new partnerships and horizons.**
