ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
1. Introduction
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2023. The Trustees, who are also directors of All People All Places for the purposes of company law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report, are set out on the company information page.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document:
All People All Places is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 14 May 2010 and amended to allow for charitable status on 14 December 2010. The company is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. The directors are also members of the company who guarantee between them to contribute such sum (not exceeding £10) to the company in the event of it being wound up.
Objectives and Activities
The charity’s objectives and activities were registered on 14 December 2010 and are as follows:
“The charity’s objects are for public benefit to relieve those in need because of their social and economic circumstances, particularly the homeless and those sleeping rough, with the provision of accommodation and such other services as the Trustees may determine.”
APAP’s central aim is to break cycles of poverty and homelessness. The charity provides emergency accommodation and homelessness prevention support, offering casework and advocacy to address the root causes of homelessness. We work with partners to support our client’s engagement with the wide range of services that they need to access to address their housing crisis including, but not limited to, welfare rights, specialist immigration and debt advice, drug and alcohol services, mental and physical health services and employment support.
Who
APAP supports individuals and households who face rough sleeping and homelessness. Our clients face multiple disadvantages including poverty, unemployment, drug/alcohol issues, mental/physical health issues, and immigration issues. Our night shelter provision predominantly focuses on providing accommodation to those with insecure immigration status or no recourse to public funds. Our day centre provision is an open access service to anyone facing housing related issues locally.
3
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
We currently work with a broad range of clients, receiving referrals and self-referrals on a formal and informal basis.
How
APAP provides emergency night shelter accommodation alongside our day centre provision. We provide advice, advocacy and support to those rough sleeping and at risk of homelessness.
Clients at our night shelter have access to static, single occupancy accommodation and a dedicated caseworker to work with them to resolve their homelessness. From our day centre, clients are able to access shower and laundry facilities and a light food offering. Both the night shelter and day centre provide respite from the streets and a safe and welcoming space to engage in services.
Partner organisations undertake outreach from our day centre including specialist drug and alcohol services, immigration advice and generalist advice from the CAB. APAP is an anchor organisation for the client, the one agency that can remain a constant point of contact for the client whilst they receive wider specialist support.
Detailed information about our projects and outcomes is provided in the report below.
2. A word from our Trustees
APAP has been through many changes in the last few years, and the focus for the year to May 2023 has been on consolidation, stability and securing longer-term funding opportunities.
Preparations were being made to return to roving winter night shelters, but when the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Shelter Transformation Funding was launched in July 2022, it was clear they would not be funding any form of communal provision going forward. The government’s updated Night Shelter Operating Principles also made it difficult and potentially costly to ensure safety across the venues.
We had to rapidly change plans. Thanks to excellent work by George and the team, the bid for DLUHC funding was successful and enabled APAP to provide static single occupancy shelter, and multi-year funding enables us to develop and run the day centre up to March 2025. The work that has been done to identify a permanent site forms the foundation of our long-term strategy for development.
Much has been achieved and none of this would be possible without the dedication and hard work of staff. The small team at APAP do amazing work to help transform people's lives,
4
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
ensuring they help at every stage. They are making a real difference with their persistence and engaging with a wide range of agencies to get the right outcomes.
We’ve also had incredible and continuing support from volunteers and faith partners, and valuable support from many funding organisations. Working in partnership with many statutory and non-statutory services has also been key to delivering effective services.
Massive thanks to everyone who has been involved with or contributed to the delivery of APAP’s services and helping to make a difference to many people’s lives. A special thanks also to Anna Stuttard who stood down as a Trustee in May 2023. We benefitted greatly from Anna’s time, experience, and wisdom.
There are, of course, always challenges and changes in the homelessness sector which APAP operates in, and we are currently seeing a big rise in rough sleeping and homelessness. We are in a strong position to continue providing personalised services and being responsive to meeting needs that are often not met by statutory services.
As Trustees, we want to ensure APAP can continue to offer high standards of a caring and compassionate service. We pray that, with continued support, we can continue to develop our services to help break the cycle of homelessness in Enfield and Haringey.
Peter Livermore, Chair
3. People
In 2022/23 the organisation remained small, ending the year with a FTE of 3.2 over a head count of 4. As we sought to successfully close the Annex project and other staff members moved on in-year, we refocused our efforts on securing follow-on funding for continuing the delivery and development of the day centre and to ensure we were able to deliver a night shelter programme once more.
In addition to this, with the CEO in post, we needed to not only fundraise for delivery but also to ensure that this post is able to be sustained in the long term. We successfully achieved that in year and we now have a small but relatively stable staff team, delivering a year-round service via the day centre.
This year we said goodbye to a number of staff members to whom we are grateful; including the Women’s Annex Caseworker, the Night Shelter Caseworker and the Day Centre Manager.
4. Projects
Day Centre: ar the day centre provision continued to build and grow on the success of its first year. We continued to build strategic partnerships across the local area and have embedded ourselves locally as key voluntary sector provision for both rough sleepers and
5
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
those facing homelessness. We continue to build on that partnership working and have developed our relationships across various teams at the council.
At the mid-year point (October 2022) we had confirmation that we had been successful with our submission to the newly launched Night Shelter Transformation Fund (NSTF) through the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities. This funding provides security of delivery for our day centre provision at its current staffing levels (2.2FTE) until March 2025, which is fantastic for the organisation and provides a foundation from which we can build.
As part of the funding made available via the NSTF, we also secured £30,000 as part of a Capital Incubator programme. This funding was provided to work with external experts to identify and progress Capital development opportunities. We worked with public sector property experts, ReDo, and the council to identify sites that would, with appropriate further investment, meet our needs for a permanent site going forward. This work forms the foundation of our long-term strategy for development.
In January 2023, we moved the service from the Methodist Church on Fore Street into the Pymmes Park Visitor Centre in Edmonton. This site, whilst still temporary, offers us an opportunity to grow our offer and develop the service further.
The service remains unique in Enfield and continues to provide critical outreach
opportunities to a diverse set of agencies trying to engage with some of the most vulnerable residents in the borough.
From June 2022 to May 2023, APAP’s day centre:
-
Welcomed 158 new clients
-
Of which 47 rough sleeping on entry to service
-
1686 service visits
-
48 Street Link Referrals for new rough sleepers
-
30% of clients rough sleeping on accessing the service
-
Supported 69 people to access/maximise/review their benefit eligibility
-
Supported 49 people to access specialist immigration advice
-
Provided 52 people with emergency care packages
-
Made 20 successful referrals to drug and alcohol services
-
Made 17 successful referrals to mental and physical health services
-
Provided immediate access to emergency food provision on 1504 occasions
Night Shelter 22/23:
Through the NSTF we were able to deliver our provision in 22/23. Initially this was via hotel provision and then in the new year we were able to move this into a new hub extension. Moving the provision into the hub meant that we were able to extend the provision beyond the initially envisaged end date of February 2023 due to the savings we were making on the
6
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
accommodation costs. Furthermore, this service is staffed by homelessness professionals and helped us to embed joint working practices across services. We deliver our shelter work in partnership with Enfield Council, focusing our accommodation offer first to our day centre clients and then to those clients that the council cannot support due, mostly, to their ineligibility for statutorily funded support.
To the end of May 2023 our night shelter provision:
-
Accommodated 12 clients over 7 beds
-
10 of which were verified rough sleepers
-
All had NRPF on entry to the provision
-
4 moved on to positive and stable accommodation (safe house/supported accommodation/PRS)
-
4 moved on to positive and not stable (no return to streets)
-
3 secured EU Settled status and access to benefits
-
1 returned to streets
-
1 abandoned (no return to streets)

Campaign Case Study 2022
Like many of us, Poppy had always worked in the UK. But when covid hit, her long-term health suffered. She wasn’t able to work and for a short time, survived solely on Universal Credit. Then Brexit happened. It changed Poppy’s EU status overnight. The benefits she relied on to help pay rent were taken away. She was left in a vulnerable position, facing homelessness.
When Poppy first came to All People All Places, she stayed at our emergency Women’s Shelter. She started regularly attending our Day Centre in Edmonton where we supported her in finding work. We helped her sign up to recruitment agencies, write cover letters, practise interviews and gave her personal references. It built her confidence back up. Her can-do attitude helped her land several volunteer positions and ultimately the full-time, stable job she has now.
Poppy is currently living with a host family, while saving up for a place to rent. It’s been a long journey and it’s not over yet. But we are so happy to see her getting back on her feet and can’t wait to help her find her new home.

5. Looking forward
Financial year 2022-23 was about securing a financial future for APAP in the form of stable and multi-year funding opportunities and stability in our service delivery. We managed to do both of those and in securing several multi-year grant opportunities we have given ourselves an easier task of both fundraising in the future and forecasting our delivery going forward. The medium and long-term goals remain the same – we want to secure our own sole-use site from which we can more fully develop the day centre provision and we want to continue to deliver night shelter provision; as we have done since our inception in 2010.
That means continuing to ensure that our work is responsive to the needs of the communities in which we are active across Enfield and Haringey. Working with partners to ensure that we are not duplicating existing provision and are plugging identified gaps in services across the boroughs.
The focus for 2023-24 and probably 2024-25 is to continue to deliver and build these services whilst securing the follow-on funding to keep developing them in line with the needs presented. For instance, we know our clients would benefit from the addition of shower and laundry facilities. In addition to that we need to work with council partners to actually secure the identified site for our service delivery in the long-term. That means understanding the terms on which we can take the site on and working to secure the significant capital investment required to renovate and refurbish the site.
6. Fundraising
Post-COVID-19, we have found ourselves in a challenging fundraising climate as many funders have fewer resources following a period of increased grant-giving. Many funders are also reviewing their priorities. The social and economic climate after COVID-19 means that demand for many community services is great. The combination of these factors means competition for grant funding is higher than usual. Despite this, APAP has good success with fundraising, particularly in securing multi-year grants from charitable trusts and foundations (eg. from DLUHC, The Mercer’s Company, Joseph Rank Charitable Trust). This provides us with an income stretching into future financial years, and an improved level of financial security going forwards. These longer term grants were supplemented by a number of smaller, one-off grants which are also vital to our sustainability.
APAP have developed a comprehensive fundraising plan which sets out how we will generate the funds required to sustain and develop our services. As a small organisation with ambitious plans to grow our services and increase our impact, much of the capacity of our CEO is consumed by organisational oversight and development, as such we plan to invest in dedicated fundraising support to ensure that our fundraising plan can be achieved.
In terms of community fundraising, we maintained a small donor base of supporters within our community which provides us with some unrestricted funding. Looking forward, we
9
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
want to build our relationships with community-based supporters and we plan to develop the ways that APAP can engage supporters to fundraise on behalf of APAP.
We delivered our first ever winter campaign in the lead up to Christmas 2022. We secured pro-bono support from marketing agency Cogent who devised, led and delivered a winter campaign with us. Using the renowned Blue Plaques that are recognisable across London, we told the positive stories of real APAP clients to raise awareness of the issue of homelessness across Enfield and Haringey. The campaign priority was primarily to raise awareness of the work that APAP is doing locally and to raise some funds. We hope to continue to deliver a yearly campaign, maintaining awareness and joining up the work we have achieved throughout the year, whilst also raising funds and supporting the development of diverse income streams.
7. Partnerships
The work we have delivered over the last year could not have happened without the ongoing support, commitment and generosity of our volunteers and faith partners and we are, as ever, thankful and indebted to those who gave their time to the organisation and our clients. Our work does not and cannot happen in isolation and we are grateful to all the services that have worked with us over the last 12 months to support our clients.

8. Financial information
Financial Review and Reserves Policy
Income during the period under review was £281,263 (2022: £199,415) and expenditure was £240,462 (2022: £338,278). Of the total income £243,434 (2022: £183,222) was from restricted grants. The charity has net income during the year of £40,801 (2022: - £138,863). Total funds held at the year end were £165,953 (2022: £125,152) of which
10
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
£93,431 (2022: £87.660) were general funds and £72,522 (2022: £37,492) were restricted funds committed to be spent in the coming months.
The charity recognises the importance of maintaining a level of free reserves to provide the charity with adequate financial stability to meet existing financial obligations, and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future.
We intend to establish a reserves level which is at least equivalent to 3 months' running costs (all salaries, project running costs and overheads. The trustees consider that 3 months' running costs will be sufficient to allow us to take the necessary action to remedy any delay in income.
We aim to build and then maintain them to this level by:
a) Prioritising any unrestricted income (eg. public donations) to be allocated to our free reserves
b) Actively fundraising from trusts and foundations to raise funds that can be added to our free reserves
c) As far as is possible, ensuring any planned expenditure is covered by funds raised, before it is committed to
The Trustees will keep the level of reserves under regular review to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil our continuing obligations. They will be reviewed at least quarterly. When considering our level of reserves, we will have reference to our monthly management accounts and cashflow report.
The reserves policy itself will be reviewed at least every 12 months.
The trustees consider an amount between £50,000 and £60,000 to cover 3 months’ running costs to be sufficient level of reserve. However, these running costs include project expenditure for restricted grants and contracts.
Public Benefit Statement
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in determining the activities undertaken by the charity.
Risk Assessment
The charity has conducted a risk assessment and has established a register, which will be updated annually. The register will have appropriate systems and procedures in place to
11
ALL PEOPLE ALL PLACES (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2023
mitigate the risks the charity faces. Such headings will be funding and risks, internal control risks, implementation procedure for transactions and projects, health and safety for staff, volunteers and clients.
Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities
The trustees 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).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; d) state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
e) 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
f) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Costs of raising funds relate to the costs incurred by the charitable company in inducing third parties to make voluntary contributions to it, as well as the cost of any activities with a fundraising
-
� Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of delivering services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
g) Allocation of support costs
Resources expended are allocated to the particular activity where the cost relates directly to that activity. However, the cost of overall direction and administration of each activity, comprising the salary and overhead costs of the central function, is apportioned on the following basis which are an estimate, based on staff time, of the amount attributable to each activity.
� Helping the Homeless 100%
h) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
i) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Cash balances exclude any funds held on behalf of service users.
j) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
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 measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
