## **TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The Trustees  who are also directors of the charity for the purpose of the  Companies Act 2006, present their report and the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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) . ” 

From 1st January 2013 the Trustees of Community House (Eton Road) ('CHER' hereafter) signed a 30 year lease on the building and took responsibility for the activities, assets and liabilities of Community House. Before that time they had been held by the Presbyterian Church of Wales  ('PCW' hereafter)  and managed by the Maindee congregation. The transfer of responsibilities to Community House (Eton Road) was accompanied by a generous endowment of financial reserves, to cover the cost of managing and maintaining the building which from that time became the responsibility of the charity. 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The  C harity is an independent, not for profit organisation that exists to benefit the residents of Maindee and surrounding areas. It  adheres to principles of equality whatever the gender, sexual orientation, race, political or religious opinion of its users.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Aims & activities** 

The  C harity works to enable people in the local community to develop their capacity and skills, meet their needs, and participate more in local activity. It does this mainly by providing facilities for meetings, recreation, education and development. We work in partnership with a wide range of voluntary and statutory organisations whose support and contribution is essential to our success. We are pleased to have the support of various project funders who have been particularly flexible and supportive during the pandemic. . 

During the  year the Trustees resolved to focus on: 

- Encouraging greater use of the building by  statutory bodies and  the community to run clubs, workgroups, meetings and societies; 

- Continuing to maintain space for worship, reflection and interfaith dialogue; 

- During periods of pandemic lockdown when none of the above were possible, leading and stimulating community engagement remotely using Zoom; 

- Ensuring that the charity remains financially viable and meets  the costs out of income ; 

- Finding ways of ensuring that the charity and the building it occupies are sustainable through hosting projects • Continuing with our Community (formerly Maindee) Youth Project, funded by BBC Children in Need since 2012 and Gwent Police & Crime Commissioner’s (PCC) Fund since 2018 with a new partnership in 2020 with Newport Mind and smaller partnerships with Newport City Council (NCC), JEHU/Newport City Homes, Levelling the Playing Field and other agencies, widening the team of staff and volunteer students on placement as a result.  Community Youth Project provides universal and targeted youth work, play work, detached (street) work and LGBTQ+ support, offering a range of informal learning activities and personal development opportunities for young people from Maindee and beyond; 

   - During lockdown, the work with young people transferred to the streets and the family needs that emerged led to a greater widening of our project services:  families were actively and practically supported during traumatic and difficult situations.  In addition, some families were helped with vital IT equipment to facilitate home-schooling where large numbers of siblings required access at the same time – an otherwise insurmountable economic challenge for some families. 

   - The People’s Health Trust (PHT), funders of the new Community Connections Project, suspended the majority of the project during lockdown but enabled meetings and significant artistic and creative activity to still go ahead with the women’s group by using Zoom. 

   - During lockdown, we were given some redundant office and building furniture by Tesco and South Wales Argus which enabled us to review the building use and de-clutter, removing, amongst other things, upholstered furniture which was no longer fit for purpose post-pandemic. Office and storerooms have been repurposed, redecorated and refurnished, enabling our Community Youth Project to house its expanding staff.  EYST (Ethnic minorities Youth Support Team) also planned to base some of their Newport staff in our building as soon as it was safe to do so. 

   - Baby Bundles – a support project providing clothes and equipment for needy new mums referred by health and refugee professionals – really came into its own, enlisting volunteers to assist with sorting donations for distribution.  A grant from Community Foundation Wales provided a part-time, temporary project co-ordinator. 

   - Planning for a hall ceiling refurbishment project was undertaken in March, 2021, stimulating community support through a cross-generational video made by the Community Youth Project team for a Newport City Council participatory funding process.  Partially successful, in that money for the deposit was raised, while the building work got under way our first ever crowd-funding campaign attracted great individual generosity and community support to enable the task to be completed and extended during the summer of 2021. 

The Charity complies with the requirements of the Charities Act 2006 and the guidance of the Charity Commission by ensuring that its activities benefit the public.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

## **Achievements and performance** 

CHER makes a difference in Maindee by providing a centre and activities which people want and support.  During 2020-21, most of these had to cease operating due to Covid restrictions.  However, we were able to keep in regular touch with group leaders and find ways to support them during these difficult times.  Some maintained telephone trees to keep contact with their members, while others discovered how to use Zoom, WhatsApp and other on-line services. We partnered with the Newport City Council Community Cohesion Lead to host various community Zoom information meetings, bringing together professional community, health and education officers with community members who needed to know what to do and where to access information during Covid times.  At one such meeting, 13 community leaders who were also long-standing partners of ours, shared what they were doing to mitigate against the difficulties of this isolating and needy situation.  Another meeting paved the way for the return of children to school. 

During this time, the trustees constantly maintained vigilance to ensure safety of staff and users, constantly monitoring and updating risk assessments in line with Welsh Government directives and advice. 

The only groups able to actively use the building in 2020-21 when Covid restrictions started to ease were those running specific community services: 

- Adult Learning Wales who run much needed classes for English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) 

- Slimming World 

- NCC European Support Project and Travelling Ahead Wales – providing advice for EU nationals and using the building as a distribution point for community St Nicholas gifts. 

- Caribbean Heritage Cymru fortnightly meals prepared in our community kitchen and distributed by volunteers to needy elders in the community – sometimes accompanied by food parcels or craft activity packs. 

- The building was used as an NHS Covid Vaccination and Test and Trace Hub in the spring of 2021, during a local spike in infections, to assist those who might have missed out due to their particular situation, such as not being registered with a GP. 

The continuing demand for space and support for these activities demonstrates the benefit that Community House brings to people. 

One-off special projects included Maindee Festival remote activities, contributing to the planting of sunflowers throughout the community and bringing music and song to people’s doorsteps. 

## **Financial review** 

It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three month’s expenditure which is £36,153 . The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. At the year the charity held unrestricted reserves of £53,437 (2020 - £35,053). 

The Charity monitor the financial status of the charity through regular meetings. We appreciate the efforts of our finance officer, Aneta Baran, for the accurate financial information that she brings to this task. During the year the charity has been able to show net incoming resources of £27,486 (2020 - £6,305). Incoming resources includes income received from HMRC in relation to the Covid-19 Job Retention scheme totalling £12,686 & Welsh Govenment for Covid-19 recovery grant of £10,000. See note 15 for other income received which represents grant money from funders which will be spent on projects in future financial years. 

The policy has been established following consideration of guidance issued by the Charity Commission. Reserves are retained to cover all costs and liabilities in the event of the closure of the charity and the balance to be retained is reviewed annually.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed,  and have ensured that there are effective controls in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, loss and error. 

The Trustees  have ensured that the charity has sufficient financial reserves to cover at least 3 months' operating costs, in line with Charity Commission guidelines. 

## **Future Developments** 

There were no immediate plans to alter the way in which the charity was run or the way in which the income was expended.  However, the impact of Covid-19 measures since the national lockdown declared on 23 March 2020 has necessitated various adjustments.  These have been: 

- Closure of the building to groups hiring rooms and subsequent loss of rental income. 

- Staff whose services were not needed as a result of reduced use of the building were furloughed.  One was ultimately made redundant as their roles became unsustainable. 

- Project funders were approached.  One new project, Community Connections funded by People’s Health Trust, was put on hold. Our key Community Youth Project funders, BBC Children in Need and Police Crime Commissioners Fund, both diverted their funding to appropriate activity that could take place to assist young people deal with the impact of national restrictions on daily living.  Further support from new funders via Newport Mind was obtained in late summer, 2020, to address further young people’s needs with additional staff working outside the building. 

- Government funding was obtained to contribute towards core costs during the summer of 2020. 

- Volunteers continued to assist with looking after the building. 

- The Community Youth Project felt the full impact of Covid on some of the families of the children and young people they were working with, uncovering significant issues, leading to increased and unusually challenging casework. 

- The trustees have been meeting very frequently since March 2020 to monitor closely the impact of the changing regulations on running projects and the building and our relationship with the community, as well as taking care to operate within our means. 

## **Structure, governance and management**

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Trustees are grateful for the support of advisers who may also attend Board meetings. Some advisers have designated roles, including Marilyn Priday who acts as Company Secretary and Catherine Haywood who line manages the Maindee Youth Project on behalf of the trustees. 

The charity is a membership organisation which welcomes members and advisers who are committed to the aims of the charity and who can help develop the organisation and its activities. Members and advisers may stand for election to become Trustees. At the end of 20 20 / 21 the charity had  34 members . 

Robust systems are in place for recruiting, inducting and training Trustees. 

None of the Trustees has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the Trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

## **Staff & Volunteers** 

From 24 March, 2020, Bernardo Kerr was unable to continue his work as a manager, since he was on furlough.  He was ultimately made redundant in November 2020 as his role became unsustainable. 

Aneta Baran continued to provide book-keeping services as our Finance Officer and these have been extended as more projects have been taken on board.  We have been very grateful to her for her dedication as her role has grown in complexity and volume. 

Pauline Holmes was still our cleaner, albeit on furlough until October 2021.  Occasional relief cleaner, prepared to step in at a moment’s notice when required, is still Luthfa Begum, despite our not calling on her in 2020-21. 

Community House employs part-time staff for the Community Youth Project, made possible by funding from BBC Children in Need and Gwent Police Crime Commissioner’s Fund.  Zenia Hamid and Sarah Miller were the two lead youth workers, while Jerome Newman was a sessional worker.  Workers on complementary youth projects include Jacob Gregg-Harris, Chelsey Maddern, and Siobhan O’Reilly.  These projects, new in 2020, are funded by Comic Relief and Youth Endowment Fund (both via a partnership with Newport Mind) and Jehu Group. 

We appreciate the involvement of the University of South Wales Youth and Community Students on placement. 

We value the accountancy and payroll support from UHY Hacker Young. 

The  C harity could not operate without the input of time, effort and goodwill given by many volunteers and this report warmly welcomes their contribution.  Exemplary in their dedication are Haydn, attending twice a week to tend to the garden and clean the kitchen for decades and Salam, for whom no task is too great and is on call every day it seems to contribute to building up a caring community together. 

The Trustees  r eport was approved by the Board of Trustees.
