Report of Chair of Trustee Board
I recently had the opportunity to spend a few hours with the Hope Community Project. It was on a Wednesday. I witnessed the long queue of people waiting for Breaking Bread Food Pantry to open and then observed the warmth of the welcome provided by the staff and volunteers. Their commitment to the most vulnerable individuals and families was clearly demonstrated. It was also wonderful to see how the team cared for one another and enjoyed each other's company. Last year, 1,200 people were supported with food and hygiene products; 1,045 emergency parcels were given out or delivered to people in their homes.
Almost 40 years ago, we came to the estate hoping to walk with the people and learn from them. Our priority was to be with the most vulnerable and isolated. Following the example of Blessed Nicolas Barre, who founded the Infant Jesus Sisters in 16th-century France, we chose to reach out and find people rather than wait for them to come to us. It is very pleasing to know that forty years later, the focus on the most isolated and excluded remains at the heart of the Hope Community Project, and outreach continues to be a key strategy.
A dedicated team of staff and volunteers do the project's work. They have the support of Fr. Hudson’s Care and a committed Board of Trustees. Much of what happens depends on successful fundraising. The National Lottery has been very generous and supportive. Many families living on the estate are relatively new to life in the UK; Hope Community has many
‘Know your Neighbour’ funding for a ‘Together Here’ project aims to welcome the stranger and helps them to feel more settled in Heath Town. There is a Chatter Group where women can practice their English and have fun together, and now the men have their own talking group: ‘ Mandem Meet Up Wolves.’
Hope Community makes many efforts to enable people to find work. National Lottery Community Fund—Heath Town Works, has been instrumental in supporting people to move closer to the job markets.
The children aren’t forgotten either! HCP has a weekly food club where the children can cook and eat together, and there are always school holiday play schemes. 120 children attended their Summer Fun programme last year, funded by Holiday and Food. They also had their own ‘Heath Town Beach’. 3,017 visitors came over three days. I was one of them, and it was a fantastic sight. We couldn’t be further away from the nearest beach, but we had plenty of sand, sunshine, music, and food.
I recommend the following report. It demonstrates how well the Hope Community fulfils its charitable objectives and, in doing so, brings comfort and hope to many individuals and families.
May God continue to bless the Hope Community Project, the families in the neighbourhood, and its many benefactors, with His peace, joy, and hope.
‘Be at peace. Do not be afraid. God’s ways can be strange and surprising.’ (Blessed Nicolas Barré Letter 8)

The Trustees present their report and the examined financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
Reference and administrative information set out on page 2 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with the current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and reporting Charities (SORP 2005).
Structure
Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated on 3[rd] August 2010 and registered as a charity on 17[th] December 2010. The charity was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the organisation and is governed under its articles of association. Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The Charity operates in England and Wales and the Trustees give their time voluntarily.
Recruitment, Appointment and Training of Trustees
The Charity looks for Trustees who are committed to working with the poor and most marginalised people in the area. When appointing new Trustees we try to ensure that there is a good balance of skills and experience, ethnicity and cultural background, gender and disability to contribute to the effective operation and management of the Charity. We promote advertise for new Trustees externally as per our Equalities and Diversity Action Plan. Appointments are made by the board in line with identified skills gaps in the existing board or through retirement. New trustees undergo an induction, managed by the Hope Manager, into their responsibilities, the varied activities and the ethos of the organisation. Professional advice is made available to the trustees at all times and appropriate trustees training is provided.
Organisational Structure
Occasionally the board delegates specific issues and decisions to a small group of trustees when deemed appropriate. The board of trustees sets the strategic direction of the organisation and approves annual budgets. Implementation and day to day management is delegated to the Manager and through her to the staff team. The board constantly reviews its governance structure to ensure it complies with best practice and is committed to achieving compliance with the Good Governance Code.
Governance and Internal Controls
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the organisation and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) Registered in England and Wales No. 7334536 Registered Charity No. 1139362

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the organisation and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The systems of internal controls are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against misstatement or loss. They include:
-
A strategic plan and annual budget approved by the trustees.
-
Regular consideration by the trustees of the financial results, variances from budgets, non-financial indicators and benchmarking reviews.
-
Delegation of authority, segregation of duties and formal supervision structures.
The Trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity regularly, to ensure that they remain focussed and with the Objects. This report summarises the results of the last year. The Trustees have considered the public benefit offered by the Charity and considered how the future activities will contribute to the aims and objectives which have been set. The focus of the Charity is community and all activities are for public benefit. The Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission Guidance on Public Benefit in reaching this view.
Objectives and Activities
Our mission is to integrate and help build a successful multi-cultural community where the gifts of each individual are recognised, valued and appreciated. At Hope Community Project our aims are to seek out, reach and support the most isolated, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community, particularly those on the margins who struggle with day to day living and to be accepted by society as a whole.
We offer a hand of friendship and an independent package of support dependent on their needs. We do preventative work with young people at risk of becoming involved with gangs and the criminal justice system, support families with their children, support the elderly, organise trips and outings, teach English, support women and create opportunities to improve relationships between different generations.
How we work
We engage local people by reaching out to them in the community. Our staff and volunteers regularly (this way of working has recently been reinstated following the easing of Covid restrictions) walking around the estates, knocking doors and talking to people. We are a visible part of the community and go to those who need support rather than waiting for them to find us.
We have adopted the following three principles in all that we do:
- Reach – engage everybody and anyone with respect and dignity ensuring inclusivity, diversity and equality.
Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) Registered in England and Wales No. 7334536 Registered Charity No. 1139362

-
Listen – develop relationships, identify issues, interests, passions, potential leaders and volunteers
-
Connect – build bridges between different groups of people, celebrate diversity and culture
We are also very aware that Hope Community cannot be everything to everyone – we are not always equipped or qualified to support people with some of the complex issues they present with. This includes immigration advice, domestic abuse, mental illness and alcohol and substance misuse. Unfortunately, these issues are widespread in the community. We have extensive knowledge and networks across Wolverhampton in the voluntary and statutory sector. We make referrals into other services and signpost which helps to broker more positive relationships, especially with statutory services where people struggle to access these.
Our Values
Inspirational
Hope is an inspirational, Christian inspired organisation which is passionate about the Heath Town area. We work in a positive, solution focussed was with the community we serve; seeking to create opportunities for people to develop their full potential.
Actively responsive
Hope speaks to local people and actively responds to local need. We help to remove barriers, build resilience and work with people to improve their lives and the community.
Respectful
Hope works with respect for each other, local people and partner agencies. We are reliable, trustworthy and work in a non-judgemental way.
Nurturing
Hope is a caring organisation. We put people at the centre of all we do. We are here to listen with patience and aim to understand all those we work with.
Holistic
Hope works holistically, with faith, love and fellowship; all central and reflective of our Christian ethos.
Welcoming
Hope is a welcoming, inclusive and non-judgemental organisation. We celebrate diversity within our community and we are at the heart of the community we serve.
Our Services 2023/24
In the years since the pandemic and the subsequent Cost of Living crisis the demand for additional services has risen more than ever before. We have never been in the situation
Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) Registered in England and Wales No. 7334536 Registered Charity No. 1139362
7
where there have been so many in crisis and poverty which is having an effect on people’s mental health and wellbeing.
The number of women who are adversely affected by the two child benefit cap has certainly had a dramatic increase on the number of women accessing our services.
This increased demand for Hope Community is a result of cuts to local services as a result of the regeneration, loss of jobs which is causing financial hardship, loss of opportunities which is causing anxiety for the future and a lack of understanding of statutory services which is having an impact on the support people are accessing.
Heath Town houses a large number of migrant and refugee families with this we have 56 different spoken languages within Heath Town. Language barriers have caused feelings of alienation from society and developed a lack of understanding and trust in services. Hope Community want to improve engagement with these communities to be able to break down existing barriers and enable social inclusion.
Demand is not just high, the issues people are presenting with are more complex and in crisis, for example, like debt are putting them at risk of homelessness, destitution and poor mental health. The two child benefit cap has certainly had a dramatic impact on the number of women accessing food and the amount we are distributing.
Within Heath Town, there is a cycle of poverty, low educational attainment and aspirations, unemployment and worklessness is a by-product of this cycle. In addition to the impacts of Covid -19, the neighbourhood is undergoing significant physical regeneration, resulting in the community feeling fragmented with the sense of community reaching an all-time low. With the upcoming build of 200 new homes in Heath Town over the next two years we are preparing for the impact that this will have on the needs within the area.
Our mission is to integrate and help build a successful multi-cultural community where the talents of each individual are recognised, valued and appreciated. At Hope Community our aims are to seek out, reach and support the most isolated, vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the community, particularly those on the margins who struggle with day to day living and to be accepted by society as a whole.
We achieve this by delivering the following:
To reduce social isolation and loneliness:
- Place of Welcome/ Warm Space
To engage in positive activities and informal education:
-
Stay and Play in partnership
-
Friendship Group
-
Lunch Club
-

Employees
The Trustees are extremely grateful to the 5 staff team and 32 volunteers for their continuing enthusiasm and commitment to the work which ensures that people get the best support at very difficult times in their lives.
The Trustees value the dedication and commitment shown by the volunteers without whom the Charity’s work would be greatly reduced. The Trustees are extremely grateful to the Trustees of Father Hudson’s Care (formerly known as Father Hudson’s Society) Father Hudson’s Care are the social care agency of the Archdiocese of Birmingham and provide Hope Community with HR and management support.
Reserves Policy
Hope Community Project’s (HCP) policy is to hold sufficient restricted funds in its account to cover salaries, building costs and activity costs for the financial year .In order to plan for a situation where this has not been secured, HCP will work to secure sufficient unrestricted funds to cover salary costs and associated service costs for a period of three months. This allows time for Trustee decisions, including any necessary HR procedures.
For the next financial year this amounts to £25,000. The year 2023/24 has been a better year for securing restricted funds and building up unrestricted funds. All applications seek to include contributions to core costs.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOPE COMMUNITY PROJECT (WOLVERHAMPTON)
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) ('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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOPE COMMUNITY PROJECT (WOLVERHAMPTON)
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hope Community Project (Wolverhampton) ('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
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

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.
