## FORTUNATUS HOUSING SOLUTIONS 

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Objectives and aims 

The charity's objective is to house vulnerable adults in the community, whilst providing them with weekly support to manage their bills and any other housing related issues. 

The charity aims to do this with the aid of local government funding and any other fund raising activities that it sees fit. 

## Significant activities 

The charity's main activity is the sourcing of individual properties, within respectable areas of the community, which enable successful independent living for its tenants. Once these properties are sourced, the charity's weekly activity includes the support of these individuals in their home.

## FORTUNATUS HOUSING SOLUTIONS REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Grantmaking 

The charity is funded by local government funding, in the form of Housing Benefit for supported and exempt accommodation. This funding is received when certain criteria are met with regard to the vulnerability of the tenants and the fact that the charity is a not for profit organization. 

The funding for supported accommodation was reviewed and the results of that review were published in May 2018. The decision has been made centrally to leave the funding of supported accommodation as it currently is, providing a stable and ongoing funding structure for the charity. From 2020 the charity will be required to provide management information to show that it's housing is not a short-term solution (longevity of tenants) and also that I provides Value For Money. 

To this aim, the charity already collates data of the savings provided by a tenant being housed with Fortunatus, by comparing the weekly costs of living with Fortunatus compared to the weekly costs of where they lived previously (e.g., long term hospital). The savings to the public purse per annum currently exceeds £2,000,000 just for the new tenants housed in 2018/2019. 

Fortunatus went ‘live’ with a new system from Destin Solutions in early 2019, which they have continued to develop since, producing reports for local government funding decision makers of the savings to the public purse and wider community. The system records all referrals into the charity and records the length of time for the process of receiving a referral to housing someone, how long they live with Fortunatus and the weekly savings provided. This enables reports to be produced and provided to both local authorities and central government. In addition, the charity currently has a waiting list of 12 individuals awaiting housing, the upfront cost to housing each of these is approximately £3,000 per head. 

The charity has also committed to another 5 year lease in August 2018 on its premises and has acquired new vehicles to lease for a 3 year period. The total of all its commitments is supported by the reserves it has gradually built and these reserves will also enable the charity to further enhance the quality of life of its tenants. 

In March 2020, following the national lockdown imposed by central government due to COVID 19, the charity changed its working practices and all its office staff moved to working from home. 

The Housing Support team continued to provide housing related support via weekly phone calls to tenants rather than weekly in-person visits and the maintenance team only carried out essential repairs (e.g.: leaks, floods, lack of electricity etc). This situation continued until September 2020 when Housing Support visits recommenced and the maintenance team returned to full working. Due to the properties having not been visited since March 2020 and the suspension of any house moves, the decision was made by the trustees and later agreed by the audit team, that a Covid provision be carried forward to the next financial year, to bring into line what would have been spent if COVID 19 had not happened. Due to the _ situation, it was agreed that the maintenance costs, property damage etc would still have occurred during this time and that financially the costs would still be there, in fact probably at a greater level. A combination of known costs that should have been attributed to 2019/20 and a COVID provision to make spending consistent with a ‘normal’ year, means that £62,700 provision is being carried forward into the next financial year.

## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

## Volunteers 

The charity currently has no volunteers on a daily basis, although two of the trustees are paid expenses only 

The charity continues to sell Christmas Cards each year and also has become the charity of choice of a local business. However, its main funding remains grants from local government 

## ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

## Charitable activities 

The charity did not increase its number of houses and tenants in due to the restrictions of Covid 19, several unavoidable voids due to deaths, severe mental health breakdown and other factors. It has been agreed by the board that growth for 2020/21 will be 0 and the charity will attempt to stay at the same size 

Some maintenance services continue to be contracted out (gardening, window cleaning, decorating) to enable the in-house maintenance team to spend more time with each individual when carrying out other repairs. This has continued throughout the year and is used whenever necessary. 

A local ‘one-man’ company has started to do rubbish removals for the charity, which has reduced costs from using larger firms and preventing build-up of rubbish at the warehouse 

The Communications Officer continues to provide concentrated resources into building the charity's presence on the web and within social media, to help build an audience that will work hand in hand with the fundraising team to build both awareness of mental health but also to encourage supporters to support us financially. The Communications Officer also continues to work with the Business Development Manager to raise awareness of fundraising events. 

The management team of the MD, Housing Manager, Property and Lettings Manager (previously Operations Manager) and Business Development Manager (previously Fundraising Manager) continue to ensure that all parts of the business work within a tight and transparent framework of procedures that enable the charity to house individuals promptly and safely in the community. 

## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document 

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.

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Fortunatus Housing Solutions for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

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

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

In so far as the trustees are aware: 

- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and 

- - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information. 

## AUDITORS 

The auditors WatkinsonBlack will resign after the year end and new auditors will be appointed.

## REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORTUNATUS HOUSING SOLUTIONS 

## Opinion 

We have audited the financial statements of Fortunatus Housing Solutions (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 August 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

## In our opinion the financial statements: 

- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 August 2020 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; 

- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and 

- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 

## Basis for opinion 

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

## Conclusions relating to going concern 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where: 

- the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or 

- the trustees have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the charitable company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. 

## Other information 

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Page 6 



## REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF FORTUNATUS HOUSING SOLUTIONS 

## Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: 

- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and 

- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. 

## Matters on which we are required to report by exception 

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees. 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or 

- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or 

- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or 

- - the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees. 

## Responsibilities of trustees 

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. 

## Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose.
