Nottingham Health and Education Support

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES' FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023

The Trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 August 2023.

Objects and Governance

Nottingham Health and Education Support is a charitable organisation set up to act as a resource for disadvantaged and marginalised members of the community of all ages in Nottingham by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:

a. Advancing in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals;

b. Advancing education and training needs of vulnerable people;

d. Providing recreational and leisure time activity in the interests of social welfare for people living in the area of benefit who have need by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons.

e. Responding to basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing for individuals with no recourse to public funds.

It is a registered charity, number 1145903 governed by a constitution. The management of the Trust is vested in a Management Committee consisting of a Chairman, Treasurer and general members.

Applications for trusteeship and membership of the Management Committee are sought by personal solicitation. A panel comprising existing trustees and members of the Management Committee are involved in the selection process. The Management Committee meets at least four times and deals with all operational and development matters.

There have been no changes in the objects and policies during the year.

Achievement and performance

Review of developments

The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 5 of the financial statements. A summary of the financial results and the work of the charity is set out below.

Charitable and fundraising activities

The Charity is dependent on funding from members, organisations and government authorities and securing this funding, to meet the operating and development costs remains the key challenge for the management committee over the short term.

The Charity has established excellent relationships with all delivery partners and facility providers. This allows the Charity to provide courses, education workshops, economic, health and social support to an increasingly diverse target community. The relationship with the two local universities and schools also remains strong providing a large pool of volunteers, informed programme development and collaboration on educational research opportunities.

Nottingham Health and Education Support

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES' FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023 ...continued.

The Charity has become an important partner in Nottinghamshire with the public, private, community and voluntary sector in providing much needed support to vulnerable communities during a climate of fear, hatred and uncertainty. During the Covid lockdown situation, the organisation was instrumental in meeting the day to day needs of people in Nottingham. The Charity’s online functionality was established very early during the start of Covid. Processes and controls have also been strengthened to ensure that the Charity complies with government guidelines and educational protocols at all times. The Charity’s response towards the Covid pandemic has created several avenues to provide long term support for the most vulnerable sections of our community, and the Charity will continue to further develop these areas in the coming years. Examples are the proposed establishment of a non-profit making recruitment service for new and emerging communities and the proposed provision of hot food daily for people in need, in collaboration with the Charity’s partner, Muslim Hands.

Financial Review

Financial position

During 2023, £112,169 (2022 - £104,253) was donated by the community and supporting organisations. Full details of the main sponsors are given in note 4 on page 9. This includes £206,500 over 3 years from the National Lottery. We are in the second year of this project and are continuing to achieve the project objectives and working closely with the National Lottery to extend the project beyound the original 3 year timeline. Areas of focus for this project continue to be the following:

Expenditure was £15.599 higher than income. The overspend was funded from carried forward funds. The remaining reserves have been earmarked for Proactive Learning and Empowering Communities work.

The work of the charity has been more important than ever during these post Covid years, supporting families to re-engage successfully with education. This work has also extended to supporting families who have been displaced from areas of the world where trauma and unrest are unfortunately too common. The charity would ilke to thank all members and supporters for their work and generosity.

Investment policy and objectives

The charity is a very young organisation and is not yet at the stage of having funds to invest.

Reserves policy

The Management Committee is aware, and has a policy, that unrestricted funds held by the charity and not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should be between 3 and 6 months of expenditure.

Risk Management

The Management Committee is responsible for risk management issues. Risks are reviewed and policies put in place to minimise risks in all areas.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NOTTINGHAM HEALTH AND EDUCATION SUPPORT

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2023, which are set out on pages 6 to 10.

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 required.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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 statements 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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 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.

Charitable activities

These costs are incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated direct to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

This includes those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, and include the audit fees and costs linked with the strategic management of the charity. All costs are allocated between the categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, other are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Plant and machinery 33.3% on cost

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
