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:
-
pre-school creative play that benefits development.
-
groups that give parents plenty of opportunity for positive interaction with their children to help build a child’s confidence and self-worth.
-
groups where parents can meet and share their experiences and challenges.
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:
-
groups and activities during term time and holidays that offer a safe environment for children to play, develop skills and work together, addressing boredom and steering them away from unhealthy past times.
-
leading assemblies in local schools to promote positive lifestyle choices and tackle issues such as bullying, drugs, anti-social behaviour and unhealthy relationships.
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:
-
lunch clubs that give lonely people the opportunity to make and develop friendships and eat an inexpensive nutritious meal.
-
opportunities to receive support and advice on issues affecting their quality of life.
-
opportunities for people to learn new skills and hobbies together whilst building new relationships in a supportive environment.
-
positive integrated activities that bring young and old people together.
-
opportunities for volunteering.
-
opportunities for those living with Alzheimer’s to participate in singing and games which provide stimulation and enjoyment.
-
visits to care homes to help build self-esteem amongst elderly people and breakdown intergenerational barriers.
-
organised events that bring together people of different ages and backgrounds, encouraging participation from those who would not normally be able to attend.
Achievements and Performance
Review of the Period
It has been another difficult year for Heartbeat as the work has again had to adapt and develop at speed to cope with the changing events and challenges following the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic. The need to evolve has been evidenced by changing patterns of behaviour amongst those individuals and groups that the charity is seeking to assist. Those who use the services have become more irregular in their attendance at events, even when people have committed to attend special events there is a much higher drop-out rate which has made it harder to plan and prepare for activities.

Help, Education And Resources To Bring Everyone All Together Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements 31[st] January 2023
Achievements and Performance (continued)
Review of the Period (continued)
The Day Centres which were visited prior to the lack downs have not reopened and some schools have been less willing to have visitors. The Sing-a-long Group has been able to bring a much needed boost to the morale of the residents of a number of Care Homes with concerts, initially in the open-air.
The Parent and Toddler Groups have been impacted by changing patterns of attendance although there have been a number of successful special events where a mixture of crafts, storytelling and food have brought families together to enable quality time together.
Financial Review
At 31[st] January 2023 Heartbeat had funds totalling £60,990 (2022: £58,254), having raised £39,364 (2022: £41,530) as detailed in the notes to the accounts and spent £36,628 (2022: £43,583) during the year as set out in the notes to the accounts. Of this the unrestricted funds totalled £47,781 (2022: £46,141), having raised £16,364 (2022: £25,530) as detailed in the notes to the accounts and spent £14,724 (2022: £23,818) 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 2023 there were unrestricted reserves of £47,781 (2022: £46,141) which represents approximately fifteen months (2022: thirteen 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 £18,300 and £36,600. 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
The needs of the community have significant and we continue to look to be flexible in creating opportunities and adapting activities to tackle those needs as they become apparent.

Responsibilities of the Trustees
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which show a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently:
-
make judgments and estimates that are prudent and reasonable:
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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.

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 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.
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:
-
examine the accounts under section 145of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
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:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
