COMMUNITY HOUSE, ETON ROAD

TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

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 2022.

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 Charity 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.

Aims & activities

The Charity 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 are 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. This partnership works with Newport Mind, smaller partnerships with Newport City Council (NCC), JEHU/Newport City Homes, other agencies and a productive team of staff and volunteer placement students. Community Youth Project provides universal and targeted youth work, play work, detached (street) work and LGBTQ+ and mental health support, offering a range of informal learning activities and personal development opportunities for young people from Maindee and beyond;

• During lockdowns, the work with young people continued on the streets and, consequently, families were actively and practically supported during traumatic and difficult situations. The project continues to uncover significant issues, leading to challenging casework with children and young people and their families, alongside a unique programme of diversionary activities inside the building (when possible) and across Newport, on their own or alongside other youth agencies.

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

• From September 2021, we teamed up with FoodCycle’s community meals and took on more student placements in collaboration with the University of South Wales. A key development in 2021, funded by the Office of the Police Crime Commissioner, was the conversion of a storeroom to a small music studio, which continues to inspire young people to express themselves creatively.

• Sustaining delivery of the new Community Connections Project, the People’s Health Trust (PHT), its funders, suspended most of the project during lockdown but enabled meetings to still go ahead once or twice a week using Zoom. Activities gradually opened up in person as Covid restrictions eased for both the Coffee&Laughs intergenerational, multicultural friendship group for women and the newly formed Maindee Men friendship group. Coffee&Laughs was honoured to receive the Creative Lives National (UK) Celebrating Diversity Award 2021 for its creative, practical workshops and discussions tackling difficult subjects. The runner-up award coincidentally was presented to the Lost Connections Covid project in Newport, to which women from Coffee&Laughs had again contributed by creating a meaningful, beautiful wall-hanging destined for our new Counselling Room.

• Maintaining support to Baby Bundles: a support project providing clothes and equipment for needy new mums referred by health and refugee professionals. The project is grateful for the contribution from its valued volunteers who assist with sorting donations received ready for distribution. Activity increased so much that the chapel had to be commandeered to store the volume of generous donations until the downstairs office was made available for the project use.

• Completing our hall refurbishment project through both individual generosity and community support during the summer of 2021. Building on our own fundraising for the new lower ceiling, our links with Pobl Housing resulted in the hall being recommended as a refurbishment project to Lovell Homes. They engaged staff on a 3-day project to decorate our “new” hall and stage before new stage flooring and black-out blinds were installed.

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.

Achievements and performance

Community House Eton Road provides a safe space centre with a range of engagement, support and activities that contribute to the health and wellbeing of the residents of Maindee area and beyond. It is a valued service which people want and support. During the first half of 2021-22, most of the projects had still ceased operating due to Covid restrictions. However, despite this, we continued to keep in regular contact with group leaders, sustain momentum and find innovative ways ways to support the community during these difficult times.

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

The groups were able to actively re commence using the building in 2021-22 as soon as Covid restrictions started to ease. These related to those running specific community services:

• Adult Learning Wales and Newport City Council who both 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;

• The Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (NHS) has built on links made during Covid by using the building as a trusted place to host two more Covid Vaccination days and an NHS Roadshow in partnership with local well-being groups;

• A new NHS Psychological Well-being Practitioner community service that previously only operated in GP surgeries came to us so we converted an office into a Counselling Room to facilitate its regular use.

COMMUNITY HOUSE, ETON ROAD

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The period of summer 2021 saw preparations for the return of several regular pre-Covid community activities and the emergence of some new ones in September, including:

• Age Alive monthly exercise sessions for diverse people who are 50+;

• Kidcare 4 U exercise and IT sessions for Bengali women;

• FoodCycle hot community 3-course meals using donated food;

• Bulgarian Saturday School;

• Newport Mind young people’s project: Piece by Piece responding to trauma;

• Hungarian Board Games – assisting children with logical thinking.

We hosted several occasional activities and events as confidence grew for people to meet together in person. These included those run by:

• Operasonics focussing on music in the garden for young children;

• Greenham 40th Anniversary supper and breakfast for those on the commemorative walk;

• Maindee Festival – we provided toilets and refreshments in our garden as part of the mini-festival in September, held for the first time in Jubilee Gardens nearby;

• Sight Life support group for diverse people with sight loss;

• Digital Skills classes;

• TLC Coffee Morning pilot, arising from the former lunch club for the elderly;

• Young Muslim Community Organisation information event;

• Tigrani Women event;

• Community meetings on specific issues;

• Hungarian Consular advisory visit to the local community;

• Polling Station for local and Welsh government elections;

• Our traditional annual Peace Day was still held on Zoom, but served as a reminder and gathering together of the work of so many diverse community groups connected with Community House, as well as highlighting our Gold Peace Mala Award.

The continuing demand for space and support for these activities demonstrates the benefit that Community House brings to people as a “safe and accessible space”. Gradually the building was de-cluttered and spaces altered to accommodate these new needs.

• Ethnic Minorities Youth Support Team (EYST) outgrew the office space we had adapted in the summer of 2020 and they left us in October, 2021. This space has now been repurposed to house our baby Bundles project which had been using the Chapel as a store;

• A new Counselling Room was created in the small room previously used by our youth workers;

• Our community kitchen benefitted from some Newport City Council upgrade funding during Covid, including the provision of a larger fridge and sanitising industrial dishwasher appropriate for catering for community meals.

However, our lack of core staff since our Co-ordinator left post in November 2020 has led to not having the capacity to accommodate private functions; although we have increasingly loaned out furniture to facilitate some people to hold events in their own gardens.

Volunteers continued to assist with looking after the building, including occasional assistance from local housing associations Melin Homes and Pobl which was very gratefully received.

Covid impact

There were no immediate plans to alter the way in which the charity is run or the way in which the income is expended. However, the impact of Covid-19 measures since the national lockdown declared on 23 March 2020 continued to necessitate various adjustments throughout 2021-2022. These have been:

• Closure of the building at times to groups hiring rooms and subsequent loss of rental income;

• Our cleaner whose services were not needed as a result of reduced use of the building continued to be furloughed and made a gradual return to work as required;

• Community Connections funders, People’s Health Trust, and Community Youth Project funders, BBC Children in Need and Police Crime Commissioners Fund, all diverted their funding to appropriate activity that could take place to assist people deal with the various impacts of national restrictions on daily living.

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 £39,444 (2021 - £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 £82,591 (2021 - £53,437) this includes £30,000 which has been designated for an emergency fund, three month's expenditure of £39,444; this leaves £13,147 of discretionary cash.

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 £43,081 (2021 - £27,486). Incoming resources includes income received from HMRC in relation to the Covid-19 Job Retention scheme totalling £2,963 (2021 - £12,686) & Welsh Government for Covid-19 recovery grant of £0 (2021 - £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.

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.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

CHER (also referred to as ''the Trust'' and ''the Charity'' in these financial statements) is a charitable company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 9 June 2009, company number 06928624. It registered as a charity on 2 February 2011, charity number 1140184. The charity did not become active until 1 January 2013 when it signed the 30-year lease on the building.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were: Mrs S Muhammed Rev J Jones Mr I Velasco (Retired 8 December 2021) Ms I Wilson Mrs S Lewis Ms C Haywood (Appointed 8 December 2021)

COMMUNITY HOUSE, ETON ROAD

TRUSTEES REPORT (CONTINUED)(INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees have been meeting frequently as required 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.

The trustees pay great tribute to the project funders and aim to keep them well informed as to progress. Monitoring data is gathered regularly by project staff and is collated and submitted to their funders in their detailed reports, including case studies and further developments as required.

We continue to foster good relationships with all who use the building and their organisations as we aim to “build caring community together”.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The officers who have served during the year are set out in the accounts.

The Trustees are grateful for additional Advisors who give their support, including Marilyn Priday who acts as Company Secretary.

The charity is a membership organisation which welcomes members and advisors. Trustees can be elected from members or advisors. At the end of 2021/22 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

Since opening up the building after Covid, the Trustees have been reviewing our policies and considering the new staffing structure that might be needed to enable our operations to become more sustainable and exploring potential funding streams to this end. While this is on-going, the Chair of trustees has been supervising core staff, acting as building manager and stimulating more community links, whilst engaging other volunteers to assist with day-to-day operations. These challenges have only intensified as other Trustees have also had to take on far more managerial roles than expected without key staff at the helm, and this pressure shows no sign of abating as community demands grow and expectations increase from multi-agency, policy and legislation changes.

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

Pauline Holmes continued as our cleaner. Our occasional relief cleaner, prepared to step in at a moment’s notice when required, was still Luthfa Begum.

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, although Zenia left post in November 2021.

Jerome Newman is a sessional worker. Sessional and part-time workers on complementary youth projects included Jacob Gregg-Harris, Chelsey Maddern, and Siobhan O’Reilly. These projects were 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. Our CYP staff are overseen by Trustee Catherine Haywood.

June 2021 saw the appointment of two Development Workers for the Community Connections Project: Angela Strictland and Imran Badat, overseeing the Coffee&Laughs and Maindee Men groups respectively. Their work is overseen by Alison Starling.

Sally-Anne Lewis continues to inspire and run our valuable Baby Bundles project.

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

The charity could not operate without the input of time, effort and goodwill of very many volunteers and this report warmly welcomes all their contributions.

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

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.

Gifts in kind is included in incoming resources in the SOFA at its market value at the time of receipt and is capitalised on the balance sheet.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Plant and equipment 25% on cost Fixtures and fittings 25% on cost

1.7 Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses

1.8 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

1.9 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
