Structure and Organisation

Organisation

The charity was formed on 1[st] February 2011 and registered with the Charity Commission on 22[nd] February 2011. The charity was formed with a constitution which established its objects and powers and determines the way that it is governed which was revised on 2[nd] May 2016. The charity is managed by the trustees who form the Executive Committee which meets regularly to consider the progress of the charity and to consider its future direction and activities. The day-to-day operation of the charity is delegated to the Community Development Worker who is supported by a group of volunteers.

Trustee Appointments

The Executive Committee consists of not less than 3 and not more than 10 members nominated by Stanley Street Independent Methodist Church, Seaham elected at the annual general meeting who shall hold office from the conclusion of that meeting;

The Executive Committee may in addition appoint not more than 5 co-opted members but no-one may be appointed as a co-opted member if as a result, more than one third of the members of the Executive Committee would be co-opted members. Each appointment of a co-opted member shall be made at a special meeting of the Executive Committee and shall take effect from the end of that meeting unless the appointment is to fill a place which has not then been vacated in which case the appointment shall run from the date when the post becomes vacant.

All trustees are inducted into the policies and procedures of the charity undertaking training to ensure they are well equipped to fulfil their duties.

Related Organisations

The charity operates from the premises of Stanley Street Independent Methodist Church, Seaham, which also appoints members of the Executive Committee. The charity is grateful for the use of facilities and the support which it receives from Stanley Street Independent Methodist Church, Seaham.

Risk Management

The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Significant external risks to funding are subject to regular review to identify funding sources up to a year ahead of requirements and where sources are due to cease, to obtain new sources of finance to continue the work of the charity. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for the authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.

Objectives and Activities

Charitable Objects

The charity has the following objects:

To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Seaham and surrounding areas, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and other leisure time occupation with the objects of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

Faith Ethos Statement

Heartbeat is inspired by the Christian faith and seeks to run activities that express its values. At the core of this is a commitment to be inclusive, open and non-discriminatory to staff, volunteers and service users of all faiths and those of none.

Aims

The way in which the charity seeks to achieve its objectives is as follows:

Parents and young children: Many local parents face poverty and hardship in bringing up their children and are isolated by their personal circumstances, so we aim to support them in whatever way necessary through:

Children and young people: All of our activities with children and young people centre around raising their aspirations and expectations that will empower them to make positive lifestyle choices. Many local young people are restricted by their circumstances, family history and lack of achievement. We provide:

Older and isolated individuals: Many elderly people and those with health problems or disabilities are isolated by their economic and social disadvantage. We aim to improve people’s lives through:

Achievements and Performance

Review of the Period

It has been a year like no other for Heartbeat as the work has had to adapt and develop at speed to cope with the changing events and challenges that have beset the community that we serve as the Coronavirus pandemic swept the nation. It is hard to believe that as out year began that there was very little idea of what would unfold.

Achievements and Performance (continued)

Review of the Period (continued)

The activities with the older and isolated individuals were the first to be affected with some of the attendees becoming anxious about mixing followed by the shielding. Access to the Care Homes and Day Centres became impossible and very quickly access to schools for assemblies also ceased. For safety we stopped activities for young people as well just before the first lockdown was introduced.

With all of the regular face to face activities suspended it was necessary to move towards a more virtual way of staying in touch which included keeping in contact with as many of our community as possible by telephone, text, social media and by using activities such as quizzes over video conference facilities. We arranged for shopping for some of the older people who were unable to leave their homes. Some of the children from our groups made pictures and some adults made cards which were sent to the care homes that we had normally visited to remind the residents and staff that they were not forgotten.

When the restrictions were lifted we began our first face to face activities. We hosted socially distanced coffee mornings to allow some of the older and isolated service users to meet up and chat at a distance with table service to comply with government advice. We have reopened our Lunch Clubs, seating people further apart, changing the entrance / exit routes and for the children and families we have introduced one-hour kids clubs where children were given bags containing crafts and snacks and they are asked to sit at different tables to maintain social distancing. Parent and Toddler Groups were commenced with social distancing of the adults and other covid secure procedures.

It was gratifying that those who attended these activities felt safe and in the case of some of the older more timid service users it was the only place that they would go. We believe that we are well placed to tackle the isolation that has increased due to the restrictions as they are eased.

Financial Review

At 31[st] January 2021 Heartbeat had funds totalling £60,307 (2020: £59,648), having raised £47,966 (2020: £67,246) as detailed in the notes to the accounts and spent £47,307 (2020: £56,878) during the year as set out in the notes to the accounts. Of this the unrestricted funds totalled £44,429 (2020: £52,892), having raised £36,116 (2020: £16,589) as detailed in the notes to the accounts and spent £44,579 (2020: £12,977) during the year as set out in the notes to the accounts.

Volunteer Support

The charity is reliant on the support of its volunteers to achieve its objects; the work of volunteers is invaluable.

Reserves Policy

The charity has limited funds and therefore operates without large reserves. At 31[st] January 2021 there were unrestricted reserves of £44,429 (2020: £52,892) which represents approximately eleven months (2020: eleven months) of operational expenses. The trustees believe that the cash reserves of the charity should be approximately six to twelve months’ worth of the operating expenses which would amount to between £23,650 and £47,300. The trustees are satisfied that charity’s funds are within this range allowing them to plan to the for the future with confidence.

Plans for Future Periods

At this time it is difficult to plan effectively for the future due to the restrictions required because of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The needs of the community have seldom been greater so it will be necessary to be flexible in creating opportunities and adapting activities to tackle those needs as they become apparent and the restrictions are lifted.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Members of Help, Education and Resources to Bring Everyone All Together

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] January 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
