REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended 31 May 2021

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 May 2021. 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 object are restricted to:

(1) To promote social inclusion for the benefit of the public, by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, and relieving the needs of the socially excluded and

(2) To promote the relief of the physical and mental sickness of persons in need by reason of addiction, illness, poverty, benefit sanctions and delays, mental health issues and domestic abuse.

We currently undertake:

To provide tailored to need food packs which take account of cooking facilities or lack of, allergies and dietary requirements. Our food packs are designed to last for 8 days whatever the family size. We also supply free of charge male and female toiletry packs and new home starter packs. Packs are given to persons referred to the charity by one of 43 professional agencies such as local councils, housing associations, CAB, CAP, doctors, health visitors, NHS services, schools etc.

To provide top ups for gas and electricity keys for claimants in rented accommodation.

To provide fresh fruit and vegetable vouchers for a local greengrocer who we then reimburse, and to provide fresh and frozen products donated as surplus by local supermarkets and wholesalers.

Where needed to provide bus vouchers where appropriate and reimburse the bus company monthly.

To adopt an holistic approach to claimants.

To provide information and referrals to claimants for better outcomes.

To provide a mentoring scheme during the coming year whereby a claimant can be accompanied and helped through the process of housing benefits etc.

Trustees hold guidance papers issued by the Charity Commission regarding all activities and are fully conversant with the activities of the charity.

Additional information

The charity is fully independent and relies for donations and funding on public generosity, fundraising and grants applied for.

All monies received are devoted entirely to the ongoing work and costs of the charity.

The charity relies completely on its volunteers and has one part time paid manager.

At Christmas we supply additional seasonal goods to the food packs.

Public benefit

The trustees are mindful of the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit and have taken account of it when making decisions, to ensure no one is excluded from the relief given by the charity.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended 31 May 2021

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

During the last year we have helped 2,314 claimants in acute crisis due to illness, old age, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic abuse, benefit delays and homelessness. Assistance included toiletry and food packs, while claimants who were found homes were helped with home starter packs.

The charity referred many of the above to agencies such as CAB, CAP, Housing Dept, Stroke Association, NHS Services etc so that their future outcomes could be improved. While maintaining this high level of activity, the charity nevertheless succeeded in reducing costs over a wide range of it's activities and management.

While being proud of its achievements, the charity is also proud of the friendly and sympathetic manner in which they were performed, and it's success in continuing to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental place where claimants can sit and have a hot drink and a chat.

Due to the COVID pandemic, we are delivering the vast majority of packs instead of claimants attending the food bank.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

Our reserves consist of sufficient money to pay general expanses for six months, plus we have a small restricted reserve exclusively for the upkeep of the premises. The trustees are comfortable with the reserves at the year end.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, consisting of memorandum and articles incorporated on 23/09/2011 as amended by a special resolution registered at Companies House on 21/03/2012. The charity constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TEIGNBRIDGE HOMELESS ACTION TODAY LIMITED

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Teignbridge Homeless Action Today Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2021.

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

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 (FRS 102)).

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.
