REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 March 2023
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 March 2023. 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 Trustees are confident that the Charity's main aims and objectives are being met in accordance with the Governing document. The main aim and objective being The relief of poverty.
The Trustees can confirm that the long term plans and aims of the charity are on course with furthering steps made during this financial period.
The charity has delivered on its main aims by supplying free furniture to people in need referred to them by other organisations, general public and word of mouth. The charity is proud to be working alongside some major homelessness charities, local government departments and some health trusts. Financial grants have been made when the charity has not been able to supply the required furniture to the people in need referred to them.
The Trustees are assured that the charity's work has been of major benefit to the beneficiaries. Furthermore, the Trustees are pleased to be able to confirm that the charity's operations and objectives are having a direct positive impact on the pressing environment issues of reducing waste to landfill.
Significant activities
The charity sourced and occupied a new warehouse for its operations in North Kent. This hub serviced the London and North Kent regions. Suitable storage facilities were, and continue to be, utilised in Southern Kent, covering the Lower part of the county. The Trustees are pleased to report that the new website funded in the 2022 accounts is achieving far better results than expected, resulting in increased "Excellent" reviews on major Search Engines. The Trustees are also pleased to report that its entire fleet of vehicles meet the LEZ and ULEZ conditions.
During the year, the charity sourced several items that were subsequently sold to cover the costs of the furniture storage.
Public benefit
The charity considers its objectives to be in the public interest by recycling unwanted furniture and assisting needy individuals and families.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The charity by way of its related party company has been able to source numerous items of furniture. The value of these donated items are difficult to quantify.
Fundraising activities
The charity sells donated goods to raise monies to cover the cost of storage.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The trustees have considered the level of reserves that the charity ought to have. Reserves are required to cover the storage of donated items until they can be matched to individuals or families. Currently, the reserves are very low, and the trustees would consider an amount equal to a year's storage to be prudent.
A new, and improved, website was also commissioned and funds set aside for such. The trustees are confident that these and other actions will further help them achieve the charity's aims and objectives, helping more people in need. The Charity has seen a significant increase in demand from associated charities for the supply of furniture.
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.
