**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of the charity for company law purposes, and whose details are shown in the reference and administrative section of this report) are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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). 

The charity is a public benefit entity. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **Purpose and aims** 

Restore (York) Ltd is a charity working to relieve homelessness and to provide support and mentoring for vulnerable people in the City of York. 

Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association are, as an expression of Christian faith, to provide 

- homes for people in York who are homeless or at risk thereof; and 

- mentoring, counselling, advisory and welfare services and personal development opportunities for such persons. 

The charity was formed with the idea that it would expand its work until it had helped to eradicate homelessness in York. We aim to provide homes without prejudice or favour. 

Our vision is for a York where everybody has a home, where those who have been homeless before are rebuilding their lives, and where the city works together to beat the underlying causes of homelessness. 

The trustees believe they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission in respect of public benefit. 

## **Our residents** 

Potential residents are referred to us by front line agencies, churches and individuals in the city. Each person is interviewed and if they are suitable for a tenancy with us their application is put into an allocations pool awaiting a suitable vacancy. Where possible the applicant is also given an estimate of when we hope to house them. A support plan is drawn up with them when they move in and they have regular visits from our staff and volunteers. 

What is special about Restore is that we are not offering people temporary shelter or short-term accommodation. We are offering them a home. It is theirs for as long as they need it provided they comply with the terms of their tenancy. Restore isn’t just about putting a roof over someone’s head. The hard work starts in the days and weeks after someone has moved into their new home. We strive to provide an environment which helps people make positive changes to their lives and the support to make those changes last. Sometimes this is a slow process and requires great patience, but it is always encouraging to see people beginning to enjoy a brighter future. 

Since the inception of Restore we have provided accommodation and support to more than 200 people who would otherwise have been homeless.

**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Objectives and Activities – continued** 

## **Our properties** 

At the end of the reporting period we provided accommodation for thirty-five people in nine houses across the city. All our properties offer supported accommodation. At the time of writing, in June 2021, we are seeking our tenth house. 

## **Our ethos** 

We are a charity based on faith and closely linked to several churches in York. The guidance of Christian friends and personal faith provided the initial spark that brought the board of trustees together. In the future, we aim to expand based on faith, good practice, efficient management and generosity. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

## **Principle funding sources** 

The charity’s primary source of income is rental income received from its residents. Given the nature of our residents, most of this is received directly from City of York Council in the form of housing benefits, though residents are required to pay a small top up and a contribution towards the cost of utilities. Residents in paid employment pay rent direct to us as they qualify for a reduced rate of housing benefit or possibly none. 

The charity is also grateful for the generosity of individuals, churches and other organisations who have and continue to contribute significant amounts of time and money to enable the vision of the trustees to be turned into a reality. Thanks goes particularly to those givers who have pledged regular monthly donations. 

The charity is registered as such for tax purposes. This enables us to take part in the Gift Aid scheme thus increasing giving by 25% for basic rate taxpayers. Many of our existing donors have already signed up to this scheme. 

## **Exempt accommodation status** 

As our residents are provided with supported housing, we are recognised by the City of York Council as what is known as a provider of ‘exempt’ accommodation. This means that housing benefits are increased to a higher level to cover some of the additional costs of providing accommodation to residents who need additional support to maintain their tenancy. The total rental income received, including residents' top up, therefore covers not only the cost of our head-lease but also many of our other property specific costs such as repairs & maintenance and depreciation of fixed assets. 

This enables us to use most of the donations we receive to cover the cost of providing other support to our residents and to fund the works needed to get additional properties ready for new residents. 

## **Financial review and plans for future periods** 

## **Financial review** 

Income increased by 26% during the year to £474,418 (2019 - £375,466), and expenditure increased by 6% to £384,360 (2019 - £362,586). This resulted in net income (surplus) of £90,058 (2019 – 12,880). 

Donations and legacies increased during the year by £2,850, and income from charitable activities increased by £96,860. Expenditure on charitable activities increased overall by £32,086.

**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Financial review and plans for future periods- continued** 

## **Financial Impact Assessment Relating to COVID-19** 

At the end of March 2021 our unrestricted reserves stood at around 4 months of typical expenditure. 

## Income Sources **:** 

- The housing benefit we receive through the city council has remained secure. 

- The medium-term outlook for income from grants and trusts remains less predictable, due to wider economic uncertainty as a result of the pandemic. Where this relates to engagement and other noncore activities, expenditure could be reduced in response. 

- Regular donations have not shown any reduction since the start of the pandemic. The Board will continue to monitor this situation. 

Expenses: 

- In the event of a short-term lack of funds, some spending on property maintenance could be delayed to aid cash-flow. 

## **Resident engagement** 

We improve the level of resident engagement by partnering with organisations across the city which provide residents with opportunities to engage in a range of educational, therapeutic and social activities designed to enhance their life skills and employment opportunities. Much of this work has been funded through successful grant applications. 

## **Staff** 

At the end of the reporting period the charity employed a chief executive, a senior housing manager, an administrator, and five housing support officers: a total of eight people, two of them part time. 

In 2018 we engaged the services of consultant, funded by the Lloyds Bank Foundation, to assist the board and staff with our future development and management. We initiated plans for growth and some staff restructuring, which led to the creation of a chief executive post. We had a change of chief executive in 2020, with the previous post-holder departing in summer to pursue church ministry, and the new chief executive starting in October 2020. 

In late 2020, we appointed a fundraising and marketing officer, with a start date of January 2021. Since the completion of the reporting period for this report, but prior to the report being written, that employee left Restore again and we are considering our next steps in this area. 

## **Fundraising** 

The charity recognises the importance of both large-scale grant funding and regular supporter donations and is currently working towards the creation of new staff roles to help maximise income.

**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED DIRECTORS’ AND TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Governing document** 

Restore is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in December 2010 and registered as a charity in September 2011. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of it being wound up its members are each required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity and together form the board.  The members of the board are chosen for the skills they bring and their experience or empathy for the objectives of the charity. We can also co-opt members who bring certain skills to the charity or invite people on an advisory basis to meetings when issues outside of the scope of the board are being discussed. Members of the board are chosen from local churches and are expected to have an active Christian faith. In 2019, one new trustee was appointed, and a new chair was appointed from within the board. Since the end of the reporting period, but at the time of writing, one trustee has stepped down. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity during the financial year. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Procedures have been established to manage those risks. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have examined the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As noted above, property specific costs are largely covered by the rental income received. This is true even after allowing for a prudent level of void periods when individual rooms may temporarily be empty. Therefore, the trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed to readying new properties for residents to move into should wherever possible be a minimum of three months of non-property specific costs.

## **Directors’ and trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements** 

Company law requires the directors/trustees to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the financial year and of its surplus or deficit for the financial year. In doing so the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- Make sound judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The directors/trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enables them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and applicable charity law. The directors/trustees 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. 

## **Exemption** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to small companies.

**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

- (a) **General information** 

The Charitable Company is a private company limited by guarantee, which is incorporated and registered in England and Wales (no. 07456780). 

The address of its registered office is The Gateway Centre, Front Street, Acomb, York, YO24 3BZ. 

- (b) **Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

Restore (York) Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

- (c) **Preparation of the financial statements on a going concern basis** 

The charity has cash resources and has no requirement for external funding. The directors and trustees have carried out a financial impact assessment relating to Covid-19 as noted in their report and they have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial statements. 

- (d) **[Income recognition]** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Voluntary income received by way of donations and gifts is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. 

Rental income and resident service charges are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. 

10 



**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED NOTES FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

- (e) **Donated services and facilities** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time is not recognised, reference to the Trustees’ Annual Report provides more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised at the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## (f) **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity including the costs of the independent examination of these financial statements. 

- (g) **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. 

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

- (h) **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. All fixed assets are capitalised regardless of their cost. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset of its expected useful life, which in all cases is estimated at three years. 

Fixed assets given for use by the charity are recognised within the relevant fixed asset category when receivable. Such gifts in kind are initially recognised at their fair value being the price that the charity estimates it would have had to pay in the open market for an equivalent item. They are subsequently depreciated in a manner consistent with other fixed assets.

## **1. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## (i) **Operating leases** 

All leasehold properties are held under operating leases. The relevant annual rentals are charged wholly to the income and expenditure account. 

## (j) **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

- (k) **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

- (l) **Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

- (m) **Financial instruments** 

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

**RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020** 

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RESTORE (YORK) LIMITED 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020. 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
