Charity's Aims
Purpose
The Hangleton & Knoll Project (HKP) is a Community Development charity and company limited by guarantee. We work in the West area of Brighton and Hove in Southeast England. A part of the community since 1983 we are an organisation working for the community with the community and managed by the community. Right from the start local residents have shaped and developed the organisation to become what it is today; a model of good practice for how a community is able to develop and manage its own resources and services.
Mission
HKP is a resident led organisation that exists to work in partnership with the neighbourhoods and communities we serve to access and develop opportunities and resources, facilitate positive change, and deliver effective and appropriate services, as identified by those people who live here in the West of the City.
Vision
HKP seeks optimum ways of working with, and for the benefit of, the whole community. We do this to mitigate and/or eliminate the wide range of social and economic difficulties that many people, affected by high levels of social deprivation in our neighbourhood, experience. We seek to improve the quality of life of people living in the West by working in partnership with all residents, community groups and service providers, to access and develop opportunities, resources and services, and to facilitate positive changes that have been collectively identified by residents, many of whom have developed the confidence and capacity to lead that change.
Values
HKP's community development, youth work and community learning practices are guided by the underlying principles and values of partnership work, needs led approach, joined-up thinking, volunteering, self-help, equality, community and individual empowerment. This approach recognises the skills, assets and diversity of all our residents.
High level outcomes
-
To increase a sense of trust and feeling of belonging and reduce social isolation
-
To improve the health and wellbeing of all residents and increase ability to self-manage and reduce negative impacts of long-term conditions
-

-
To build community and individual resilience and empower local people to have more control over the issues that affect them
-
To increase skills, confidence and knowledge in local people
-
To increase participation in all levels of decision making, volunteering and community action
-
To build confidence to participate in learning and employment
-

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities
Community Development
Community development is the process of enhancing socially or economically disadvantaged communities by working with local people to develop the skills, knowledge and experience necessary to collectively improve their community's resources.
In practical terms, the Community Development Team:
-
makes contact with residents
-
develops relationships
-
raises the awareness of residents' common concerns and responsibilities
-
helps foster a feeling of ownership of their area
-
co-ordinates the coming together of residents to agree a plan of action
-
supports the development of a group to undertake the tackling of an issue
-
supports them through their development for 6 months to a year so that they are able to fully undertake their individual and group roles and manage issues such as fundraising, financial management, forward planning, working as a team, and the delivery of a service.
At the end of the process, the community has an additional resource, targeted at an identified need, which is independent, self-sustainable and physically and financially accessible to residents.
The community development process is effective in maximising organisational time as the independent management of pieces of work by the community enables the community development worker to move on to support the development of further community initiatives. Community managed services also alleviate the demand placed upon the resources of statutory agencies.
Within the process, the development work is taking place primarily not for the end product - e.g. to set up a group
-
increasing the capability and skills of individuals.
-
developing support networks and easing isolation.
-
increasing the skills base of the community as a whole.
-
improving community resources.
Additional to direct work with residents is work with statutory agencies and other providers to develop a climate in which residents and local community groups can have an active role in the development of their neighbourhood. This includes:
-
the development of meetings where residents can request information, make suggestions and challenge agencies.
-
liaising with agencies to signal the needs of the target area or to raise difficulties caused by policies or practice.
-
informing residents of new and existing policy, opportunities presented by these, and facilitating a process where involvement and planning can take place.

Youth Work
All youth work delivered by the Charity follows the community development ethos as listed above. In addition, it works to the National Youth Agency (NYA) Core Curriculum:
-
Personal and Social Education: helping young people in making informed and constructive choices about their personal well-being regarding health, education and training, employment, recreation and legal issues as well as making and maintaining positive personal relationships.
-
Participation and Empowerment: good youth work practice puts young people at the centre of its programmes - young people voluntarily participate in the planning and direction of the programmes as decision makers as well as participants. It encourages young people's development of critical faculties and promotes the confidence with which to take control of their own lives - at local, community, City, national and international levels.
-
Equality of Opportunity: youth workers are expected to challenge oppression and inequality as well as encouraging young people to do the same.
-
Voluntary Engagement: the Charity provides a range of programmes that young people can engage with voluntarily. These programmes offer a range of opportunities and challenging experiences in the company of their peers and the local community. The work supports a successful transition into adulthood.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
These aims are achieved through the implementation of a range of youth work methodologies including:
-
Detached youth work
-
Youth Bus outreach
-
Group, activities and project work
-
One to one and youth coaching support
-
Work in schools
-
Partnership work with other agencies and services

Community Development
Brighton & Hove TSIP funding enables our core Community Development offer to support representative groups such as Community Action, local Parks groups, community festivals and community buildings alongside work targeted at specific vulnerable communities of interest e.g Parent Carers and people with long term health conditions. This also includes Black and Ethnically Diverse (BED) engagement work. This work is delivered as part of the Inclusive Communities partnership led by The Trust for Developing Communities (TDC). BHCC BED Engagement funding has enabled us to deliver an outreach programme to engage with the BED community to develop culturally appropriate resources and services eg around vaccines, menopause, cancer and maternity services. The programmes are complimentary and add value to our core work. We also contribute to the City Community Voices group with our Equalities worker Aleya Khatun helping to organise this work which enables voice in the City BED structures for our residents.
The Charity has continued to receive funding through Impact Initiatives for our Older People's Ageing Well programme of work which supports older people to come together as the 50 Plus Steering Group and oversees an older people led programme of trips, groups and activities within our area. This partnership of providers is a Citywide offer with targeted work in local neighbourhood and various communities of interest. As part of this work, HKP deliver BED older people’s activities and trips.
During this period NHS Sussex piloted a community approach to Health Inequality which we delivered for West Area and for our BED communities in partnership with West Hove Primary Care Network and led by TDC. This Community Health Inequality Programme (CHIP) was astonishingly successful and has been taken forward as a system model.
The Charity received funding to deliver a number of smaller projects over the year including NHS Sussex funding which has continued to support our West Area Health Forum which brings together residents, patients and community group leaders with Practice Managers from six local surgeries, to look at community solutions to Health and Wellbeing issues, alongside feeding in and back, to improve local health services. Also in this year we received funding via NHS to support BED engagement in Community Voices – a City group that aims to take forward with action the insight work already collected in partnership with Bridging Change.
We received BHCC funding to deliver West Area professional networking sessions for professionals in partnership with the TDC.
NHS psychosocial money funded a partnership between ourselves and the Trust for Developing Communities to deliver a Citywide programme of health and wellbeing activities, part of the Community Roots offer led by Southdown Housing. In West, our focus has been BED women's health.
The Charity received funding from BHCC Public Health to manage a small Neighbourhood Fund community based grants programme to enable, and support, local community groups to apply for funding to deliver health promoting activities.
We received funding from the Brighton Dome and Festival to continue our outreach programme in partnership with them and continue to support a Local Arts offer overseen by a resident led Arts steering group.
We are delivering ACT (Act on Cancer Together) in the West of the City. This programme is led by TDC and aims to improve the numbers of people accessing cancer screening in the City. Brighton and Hove currently has comparatively low rates of uptake and it is our aim to change this over the next 5 years targeting communities which generally have lower uptake where we have strong networks and relationships to bring to bear.

BHCC continued to fund the Charity, as lead youth provider in the West Area to deliver a range of universal, detached and project based youth work for young people aged 13-19 years, as well as young women's group activities.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
We also work with Impact Initiatives and the TDC to deliver an offer for Sussex Community Foundation Trust, working alongside the School Nurse service. Our skilled youth worker supports some of the most vulnerable young people in the City with casework and a link back into mainstream youth and community activity should that be appropriate.
Funding was secured from the Pebble Trust for HKP to lead a City programme of activities to support vulnerable young men. This is in partnership with YMCA and TDC and provides one to one coaching and an evidence base for relational based work making an impact with this cohort.
We also build on our core offer to provide targeted group work to our most vulnerable young people. These additional pots of money include The Noel Bennet Trust funding our community safety programmes with young people The Cooperative and Waitrose supporting cost of living crisis work with families; The Rotary supporting SEND club and partnerships with BHCC Active for Life team; Albion in the Community and WBC cares providing match for healthy exercise activities.

THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
The trustees confirm that the investments held by the Charity are in accordance with the Trustees' powers.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Hangleton & Knoll Project Trustees hold financial reserves because it is solely dependent on contracts and grant aid with very few donations and we wish to offer our community a clear, ongoing and sustainable offer and our staff security of employment.
We are in a healthy financial position and feel satisfied that we can demonstrate stability to our statutory funders who are looking at our sustainability over a 5-7-year period within their commissions.
The past three years have taught us that timescales for statutory funding change quickly with short term rollovers and funding periods and annual budget changes which makes our long-term planning around staffing levels more challenging. In recent years we have faced a proposed 100% cut to youthwork (an 89k loss of income); this decision was reversed but it brought home the very difficult context for local government and NHS commissioners and the possibility of swift and brutal changes to our funding threatening our core mission. All our contracts have caveats which mean they are subject to annual budget setting. In Feb 2024 at BHCC budget setting, all BHCC Third Sector Investment Programme (TSIP) contracts were reduced by 10% despite the increased costs we were facing.
In 24/25 we are coming to the end of a 6-year period in youthwork, Community Development, Community Engagement, Community Learning, Ageing Well and Psychosocial services. We aim to create a 3-year budget (to inform long term financial planning) during 24/25 as it becomes clearer what the level of these commissions will be. Trustees have agreed a review of this policy at this time to agree:
-
Reserves against core offer
-
Designations for the new Youth centre (due to be completed July 2025).
We have found that maintaining a level of reserves designated for staff continuity of £118,440 means that we can offer stability to staff and continuity of delivery for our community, giving us time to plan any necessary changes. We are also covered for staff redundancy and office closure costs for our office space, and this is currently calculated at £207,997 - a figure that reflects how long many of staff have remained with us and the fact we have office bases across our patch.
Having reserves allows us to take advantage of opportunities to develop new resources for our community including a new capital project to build a youth centre in 2024/25 which will require a designated maintenance fund and ongoing planned maintenance schedule. In 23/24 we took on the management of the Downsman wellbeing centre on a lease with Southdown.
We keep a general reserve of £95,840 to respond to immediate issues and as cashflow for contracts which now pay up to six months in arrears and this has accumulated over many years through achieving small surpluses of unrestricted income.
Recent events including the pandemic, the cost-of-living crisis and shrinking statutory budgets have shone a light on the vulnerability of organisations to unforeseen change and we are proud of our resilience and ability rapidly to respond which is aided by our secure financial footing.
The reserves figure is reviewed annually by the Finance Sub-Committee and a recommendation made to the following meeting of the Management Committee with whom the final decision rests.
Funds in deficit
There are no funds in deficit.

THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Decision making
Management Committee
The Management Committee meets four times a year and is the forum where all major decisions are made and agreed. The Committee receive written reports from the staff and from its Sub-Committees on work in progress and opportunities arising. The Committee sets policy and takes decisions on major matters that arise. The Minutes and papers for the Management Committee Meetings are also circulated to the staff to keep them aware of the decisions being taken by the Board. Officers for the Management Committee are elected at the AGM and invitations include an invite for new members to join the Management Committee.
Sub-Committees of the Management Committee
The Employment and Finance Sub-Committee meets regularly and consists of at least three persons nominated by the Project's Management Committee. The Chief Executive and Finance Co-ordinator attend when required. The Sub-Committee ensures the Project's Trustees control the finances of the organisation and reports to the Management Committee making recommendations on financial and employment matters where necessary, or at least on an annual basis. The Sub-Committee considers (and instructs staff accordingly on) the following aspects:
i. The general financial health of the Project ii. Financial planning and annual budgeting
iii. Income & expenditure accounts iv. Cash flow analysis
v. Annual accounts and audits
vi. Fundraising and income generation vii. Payroll and staff salaries viii. All other matters of a financial nature
In addition, the Sub-Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive, agrees the Terms and Conditions of Employment of the Project's staff, takes responsibility for the process of employment of new or replacement staff and advise the Management Committee of the process to be adopted for selection and interview of candidates, following equal opportunities policies. The Sub-Committee acts as an advisory group for personnel and employment matters on any relevant issues in such a way as to pre-empt and prevent situations of difficulty to the Project arising.
Induction and training of new trustees
All newly appointed Trustees receive an Induction Pack and undergo an induction training period. This includes attending the first Management Committee Meeting held shortly after the AGM, meeting with staff, and shadowing an appointed, existing Trustee. Roles and responsibilities are explained in accordance with the Charity Commission Leaflet CC3.
Equal opportunities policy
The Hangleton and Knoll Project (HKP) recognises the existence of discrimination against people based on particular characteristics or beliefs. Our policy sets out the steps we take to prevent discrimination in the services and support we provide and in employment.

THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07260539) REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
We are part of the Sector Support Network which brings together local grant makers with infrastructure bodies for the benefit of small groups in the City.
The CEO attends the Community Works Representatives Council and is the Communities Coopted Rep on Peoples Scrutiny committee as the locally elected CVS Brighton and Hove Communities Representative. We lead Youth work in the West of the City with a detached offer and clubs based in Portslade, Hangleton and Knoll areas organising regular practitioner meetings to liaise and share resources with other local youth providers. We meet regularly with other youth area and community of interest leads to organise strategically. We are also part of the City response to financial exclusion with a partnership led by the Citizens Advice Bureau called Moneyworks. We deliver the community-based education offer which seeks to provide residents with the tools to manage their finances and increase their income alongside community based access to specialist case work advice and support.
As a member of the VCSE Sussex Health Alliance, the CEO was selected to represent the Sussex VCSE on the NHS ICB Integrated Communities Teams Delivery Board meeting monthly to develop the necessary strategy for the system.
During this period the HKP CEO attended the Health and Wellbeing Board as coopted in her Communities rep role.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
This year we went into the fourth year of a partnership led by Southdown Housing which is leading for psychosocial interventions for Mental Health providers in the UOK programme.
We are also in the fourth year of a programme led by The Trust for Developing Communities to deliver a City Wide Detached offer. This project named Brighton Streets enables Citywide reach to young people at risk of getting in trouble, with HKP delivering the offer in the West.
Risk management
The Charity has examined the major risks to which it is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate these risks.
The Charity recognises that it has a responsibility to manage hazards and risks and supports a structured and focused approach to managing them through approval of the risk management strategy. In this way The Hangleton & Knoll Project will better achieve its overall objectives and enhance the quality of work delivered. The Charity has systems in place that enable us to regularly examine the risks to which we are exposed. Primarily, the Employment and Finance committee, comprised of a minimum of three persons nominated by the Management Committee, and the Chief Executive and the Finance Co-ordinator, meets as regularly as twice a month when necessary to address imminent risks to the organisation's operation. In addition, the Charity's Management Committee meets four times a year, and more frequent meetings are convened where required, as this is the forum where all major decisions and proposals are agreed. All activities delivered by Hangleton & Knoll Project staff are subject to detailed risk assessments.
The risks are considered under five broad headings:
-
Management and direction risks
-
Operational risks
-
Financial risks
-
External risks
-
Compliance with law and regulation.
The Charity's risk management strategy's objectives are to:
-
Integrate risk management into the culture of the Hangleton & Knoll Project
-
Manage risk in accordance with best practice
-
Anticipate and respond to changing social, environmental and legislative requirements
-
Prevent injury, damage and losses and reduce related costs
-
Raise awareness of the need for risk management by all those connected to the Hangleton & Knoll Project and the delivery of its services.
Our full annual risk assessment is available on request. This document has been agile since 2020 because of the constant changes caused firstly by Covid, then the cost of living crisis and inflation and now statutory sector squeeze on contracts

THE HANGLETON & KNOLL PROJECT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The trustees/directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) once the charity has legal entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Our policy on the recognition of grants received is to recognise them when the are received, however on occasions where a final grant payment relating to an existing grant is due but unpaid at the end of a financial year, the amount will be brought in to the accounts as a debtor. If grants are received in advance of any financial year they are apportioned to the relevant year.
Income from donations is accounted for as received by the charity. The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with the associated costs included in fundraising costs. The value of voluntary work is not included in the financial statements.
Other income, including investment income and fee income, is recorded on an accruals basis.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing in excess of £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition.
Depreciation has been provided on the following basis:
Furniture & Fittings - 20% reducing balance basis. Computers - 20% reducing balance basis. General Equipment - 20% reducing balance basis.
A full year's depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition, none in the year of disposal.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 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 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.
