HELP4HOMELESSVETERANS TRUSTEES. REPORT contlnued YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 Chaimn'S Introductlon lo the Annual Report There is certainly change in the air as we now have a new Laljour Govemmenl intent on change. For our charity it affords the opwrtunily of moving fomard on a shared dream of building our own property which will be available to homeless veterans. To help achleve thls goal last year the Trustees agreed to increase our mernbers of staff by one. We welcoffled to our team Amber Guymer-Hoskins. She has proved herself as an eflective worker supporting our CEO Sleve Bentham-Bales. We hav8 dso increased our nurnber of Trustees by one and I w81come on board Sally Ward who is a legal expert within the commercial world. On a personal note I had intended to stand down as Chair once the CEO stood down. He has decided lo carry on. Assuming the Trustees still want me as their chair. I will Continue in that position albeit this is my 75 year my birthday being in April just gone. As of May 1 < 2025 following Ihe local elections I stand down as a Cllr lor City of Doncaster Council. It is my inlention lo continue either as Chair or a Trustee lo work to achieve a new building managed and owned by H4HV. To this end I support the BLAY A Brick Campah3n. There will be other fund-raising events in our area and hopefully we will be invited to attend. This wrll enable us to raise awareness of our aims in building a property to provide emergency accommodation for homeless veterans. Along with other trustees and volunteers I will be there to support the event and our stall. The statistics on our record of helping veterans is documented by our CEO Steve Bentham- Bates and I do not intend to repeat them here. I would like to pay tribute to our founder Tom Wood MBE who through ill health has stood down. I would also like lo thank all the trustees and volunteers for their help over the last year. John Healy B.A (Hons) Chairperson, Help 4 Homeless Veterans CEO'S Annual Report Once again, this operating year has been challenging in terms of both fundraising and delivering support to vulnerable veterans but despite our small size we continue to disburse assistanc& in a timely manner. We have reduced our linancial oulgoings by changing our storage facilities and closing the drop-in facility- This releaseé sullicienl funds to take on a part-time assistant last July on the national livir wage rate which was recently increased in April as per government figures. My salary hasn't changed since 2022 to keep the overheads down. The good news is that during this 12-monih period, 77 veterans, all Amiy apart from 2 former FIAF Aimien and 1 former Royal Marine. have benefited from our rapidly delivered support. |Pago
HELP4HOMELESSVETERANS TRUSTEES, REPORT ¢ontinuèd YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 Th8 help was in the form ol paying lor: initial renls, deposits, buying essential household items such as beds, cookers etc. We delivered food parcels al Christmas and in January and February we delivered winter tuel payments of £100 each to OAP veterans who had lost their government WFP. As per previous years trips to the Therapy Farm, we received a grant from the Veterans Foundation lo help fund future visits, and just a couple of weeks ago our Trustee Cllr Reverend Eve Rose Keenan led a service for visitors and on Tuesday this week a further 8 veterans visited the farm. We have referred just 2 veterans towards Op Fortitude due lo their particular circumstances needing greater support.. one was sent lo Catterick, the other to Devon and we paid their transport costs. We have highlighted the lack of Iheir cover here in South Yorkshire to the Delense Secretary who is also tny local MP. We were awarded the MOD Employor Re¢ognltlon Scheme SILVER Award, and l agreed wth the RFCA that we would take a year out to concentrate on our house purchas& campaign before applying for consideration for the Gold Award durin9 the following year. Movlng forMTard: I have agreed with the trustees to work past my 70 birthday this June lo help to deliver Ihe BUY A BRICK carnpaign and gel a Halfway House up and running in South Yorkshire il we raise sufficienl funds. We are engaging with some important people such as our MP and 2 local Mayors offering their support. Unfortunately, the application we made to the AFCFT under their capital purchase scheme was turned down as ineligib18 as it doesn't include puichase of properties for homeless veterans. Therefore, we are fundraising oursplves as il is thg charity's hope that we will be able to purchase a house to use as emergency accommodation to ollset the current expensive hole B & B bills we pay for which makes it difli¢ull lo build up the savings account. However, our reserves remain healthy exceeding our own 12-month rule. Any funds above that amount will be pul toward the house purchase scheme. As at 30th Aprll 2025 our Bank balances slood at: Current £7936.27, Reserve £160509.77, Cash £499.65, Tolal £168,945.69 At Ihis point last year we had £163,908.79. Al this point I wish to thank everyone who has fundraised for us this year in a variety ol ways. Too many to mention individually. but groups like the local Veterans Breakfast Clubs are getting behind us with our campaign to buy a house. We are also invited to several VE Day 80th day events in a couple ol weeks. Once again, THE VETERAN'S FOUNDATION has provided help that we would like to thank them lor. This includes further funding towards our homeless work, the FARM THERAPY PROJECT we work on with my old RAF Regt colleague Jamie Quinn as well as the Winter Fuel Payment scheme for a second winter. Due to very serious health conditions requirir4J regular hospital wsitsrtrealmenls our Founder Tom Wood MBE finally stood dowr) last July. In Aprll 2025 Trustee Andy Martln was awarded a South Yorkshlre High Sherlff Community Award lor his len years working as a volunteer lor the charity. |Paye
HELP4HOMELESSVETERANS TRU5TEES' REPORT contlnued YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025 Although the end of the Mayoral year is mid-may, we would like to pla¢8 on record now, our deep appreciation lo Rotherham MBC Councilor, Mayor Sheila Cowen ex WRAF for all the support she has shown to our charity this financial year. We were chosen as one of her charities for her mayoral year and though Ihe final donation isn't yet calculated. it is likely to be a substantial amount due to her sU85sfUl fundraising, which is amazing. We have also been Invlted to Ihe Inwming Mayor of Barnslels installation, another ex-soldier bvho it turned out served in Northern Ireland at the same time as our Founder Tom Wood MBE, and we hop8 to enjoy a doser working relationship with the Amied FOrS community and Barnsley c£suncil in the next financial year. In May we wlll push our BUY A BRICK campalgn, articles in local magaanes, newspapers and social media will help to spread the word to encourage the public to donate towards purchasing our emergency housing. Wè have also approached local TV and hope to get wider o)verage and therefore supporl as a SuIt of that publicity. The final thank you goes to my new part-time assistant Amber Guymer-Hosking. Originally 8 years ago she was a homeless veteran thal we helped. Later she became an ambassador and last July I asked the Trustees to offer her a part-time role which she has thrown herself into with gusto. She has made a massive Contribution, taking a lot of work off my plate enabling me to concentrate on futur8 strategy, amongst the cas8 work and all the administrative work needed to keep a charity oparating correctly. She has walk8d the walk, and now that experience is channeled to help fellow veterans. On a personal note, as l approach completing ten year5 in post as the CEO, I look back on all we have done wilh pride. We have not been afraid lo adapt to overcome problems or try fresh ideas. bul the end r8suIt is that there are many hundreds of veterans who are in a much better place because of our efforts. (Over 1100 now since 2010). If we can get th8 Buy A Brick Campaign to meet its aim and we get to purchase our halfway house. then that will up our game even more and it will be something permanent lo be able to finally retire from with head held high.
