## **Structure, Management and Control** 

The charity’s strategy and overall management control is set and completed by the Trustees.  The Trustees are made up of the original founders as well as experienced personnel both from within the sector and specialist fields. Three new trustees were appointed at the beginning of 2022, bringing between them a depth of fundraising, human resources and financial experience. 

A team of four report to the Trustees and complete the day-to-day operational management of the charity. Their responsibilities are split as: 

**Café Manager –** Responsible for the operational elements of the charity including the café team and therefore the extensive procurement and provision of food and hot drinks that Sanctus offers.

**Sanctus 2021 Annual Report - Summary of Activities and Achievements** 

**Hub Manager** – Responsible for the Hub team and therefore the wide range of support and assistance sessions held as part of the Hub. The Hub Manager also acts as liaison to many other organisations and charities that utilise Sanctus. 

**Fundraising Manager** – Responsible for fundraising, communicating with our supporters and also maintaining our social media channels. 

**Finance Manager** – Responsible for the operational elements of the charity including HR and Finance. 

This structure allows a good balance between strategic direction, monitoring and day-to-day operational management. It also gives the Sanctus team, including the volunteers, clear reporting and feedback lines. 

## **Charity Overview – Objectives, Activities and Outcomes** 

## **Summary** 

Sanctus is a charity supporting homeless and vulnerable people in Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. We are the only day-centre in a significant part of Essex, opening 7 days per week, 365 days per year. 

Sanctus is a lifeline for the vulnerable and homeless in the city of Chelmsford and the surrounding areas. We provide a safe warm supportive environment where anyone who wishes can come to eat, shelter from the cold and be around others with the aim of preventing loneliness, offering tailored support and assistance to help improve quality of life without judgment or selection. 

On a daily basis, Sanctus provides hot nutritious meals, drinks, clothing, rough sleeping resources and a wide range of support services, helping people to get back on their feet and make positive steps forward. We are rebuilding the community from the bottom up, person by person. 

The charity provided more than 15,000 free hot meals and in excess of 2,000 free support and mentoring sessions via the Sanctus Support Hub. Just one of the Hub support sessions may enable a benefits issue to be resolved, a housing application to be submitted, signposting to wider services or may be part of the journey to prevent someone from taking drastic steps 

In addition, more than 16,000 items of food that would have gone to waste were collected from local businesses and distributed via the café’s food bank service. 

The purpose of our organisation it to provide a centre in the heart of the city where individuals, with various complex needs, can come and receive food and support. This is a community space, which we invite other service providers to utilise, to generate a holistic approach to supporting individuals. 

We believe that everyone should have a safe and secure home, food on the table and network of support. Our aim is to be there for vulnerable people at a moment of crisis and provide them with the necessary help. From this moment, we then work alongside them in their journey to recovery to help them to take steps to lead a positive life. Referrals to other services can often take time, which leaves individuals in an extremely vulnerable state. At Sanctus, we are able to provide immediate support in these interim periods and continue to provide support alongside other services. 

What is unique about our services, is there is no criteria to receive our support. Our work is person centred, meaning we tailor our support offering to each individual. We aim to help vulnerable

**Sanctus 2021 Annual Report - Summary of Activities and Achievements** 

individuals to build confidence and trust in support services, so they can receive help both from us and other agencies and statutory services. 

During the pandemic extended services included take away meals, accessible vaccination sessions for those not able to access them through the normal routes, and an outdoor area where we could provide support. 

## **2021 Achievements** 

## **Those who have benefited** 

We engage and rebuild the lives of many of the most vulnerable in our community. We provide the opportunity to create optimum conditions for change, alongside a community environment for cohesion, tolerance and overcoming barriers. 

Recipients of our services include: 

- homeless and those recovering from homelessness, 

- individuals who are housed but vulnerable and may be at risk of eviction, 

- individuals needing to escape from abusive relationships 

- ex-offenders and those subject to probation services, 

- mental health and PTSD sufferers (including those with feelings of suicide), 

- those with addiction issues, 

- those in recovery, 

- elderly and pre-pension who cannot afford heating and food, 

- multiple veterans from across the services, 

- refugees, 

- those with disabilities which prevent them from finding or sustaining work and living well, 

- families who are struggling to afford food and access services, 

- people who find themselves on the edge of society and in despair, 

- those impacted by the current economic pressures, 

- those who are illiterate and need support to access paper communication and emails, 

- those unable to advocate for themselves at court, medical settings and in police interviews. 

Through offering people a welcoming space that assists them and reverses negative trends, it has been proven to have a knock-on effect of freeing up other services, so in addition to the recipients receiving benefit there is also the positive impact on society with the services we provide, giving an additional benefit to the general public by lowering crime levels including petty crime and aggressive begging. During the pandemic the local Council deemed Sanctus an essential service, demonstrating the key role that Sanctus plays within the community. 

Our current service user base is approximately 360, we typically serve food and provide support to between 40 to 90 people per day. 

The demographics of those accessing our services changes as external forces and wider economic pressures come in to play. We have found that we have had to adapt to these changing requirements, providing staff with further training and putting additional safeguards in place for example to ensure we are able to cater for the increased number of younger women with children coming through our doors. Our fundamental aim is to make sure that everyone is welcome and able to safely access the services we provide.

## **Sanctus 2021 Annual Report - Summary of Activities and Achievements** 

People can engage with Sanctus at times for just a few hours receiving a hot meal or being given some simple words of advice and we may not see them again. Typically, people attend when they are in a cycle of homelessness or vulnerability which will vary in length depending on the individual and situation in which they find themselves. They may attend for months coming in every day or just spasmodically as the need arises, we can be involved in their lives for years or just days.  The average engagement is for between 6 to 8 months with every person being treated as an individual, with dignity and respect, and provided with bespoke support. 

## **Approach** 

Sanctus is a standalone charity and we aim to provide a service different to other provisions available. We are highly accepting of all. We build a community based around the café which is seen as a gateway for vulnerable individuals to begin accessing wider support. We find that people are drawn to Sanctus because of our free food and drink provisions which are delivered from our permanent premises with seating. By them attending and us having continuity of staff, we are able to then build relationships and trust which makes our service users more inclined to access the wider support services available. 

We appreciate that every charity and individual success story is only achieved through an eco-system of integrated support services. Ours is a different approach to people attending a street kitchen or being asked to attend ad-hoc appointments in an institutional environment, where they do not have established relationships which they may have difficulty finding, anxiety entering or just not feel welcome or comfortable. 

Our work is designed to support extremely vulnerable individuals with a range of complex needs. We support people of different ages, different disabilities, genders, race, religions and beliefs, sex, sexual orientation, as well as marital status and pregnancy. We find that those who use our services have a lack of trust with different agencies, organisations and statutory bodies which often means they are not fully interacting with support. We work alongside each person to build trust which helps them to begin engaging with us and other services. The circumstances that our clients have found themselves in, means we do not have support networks and Sanctus operates in a way where we become that support network. We work with people whom other sources of support have failed, been inappropriate or are simply not available. 

As well as the longer-term support that we offer our clients, which is focused on long term sustainable solutions, we also support people at a moment of crisis and provide immediate support. Such circumstances include, someone has found themselves newly homeless, they have no clothes, or food and nowhere to stay, they can come to us at Sanctus and we will provide them with the initial sustenance and support. This then leads them on to access our wider support services as well as referrals to other agencies. Another example would be, someone is fleeing domestic abuse, they have no clothes, furniture or essential items and no access to funds. We will provide them with the items they need whilst also working alongside them to sort benefits and banking, as well as wider support. Our work does not replicate other services of statutory bodies, but instead fills a gap and complements the work of other agencies. 

The following data demonstrates that individuals find accessing support difficult, and especially difficult when they do not have an associated support network throughout the process. However, when people are helped with navigating and completing such support, there are high levels of success. 

56% of people who require access to support services to assist accommodation, addiction or other vulnerability issues report that they find it either ‘extremely difficult’ or ‘not possible’ to interact with such services.

**Sanctus 2021 Annual Report - Summary of Activities and Achievements** 

On a scale of 1 to 10 where 10 was “a great deal of stress” and one is “little or no stress,” it was found that the average stress level for people with emotional support in place was 5 out of 10 compared to 6.3 out of 10 for people without emotional support. 

94% of addiction clients, and 86% of self-esteem clients, 76% of Anxiety clients, and 74% of Depression clients confirmed their issue had either "Improved" or "Significantly Improved” when they had access to support services. 

(Data sourced from the Mental Health Foundation and Does Counselling Work? Survey.) 

This data demonstrates that the Sanctus approach is highly effective as we provide them with immediate and interim support, and we then work alongside them to guide them through subsequent support to have successful outcomes. 

During 2021, we completed our move to the premises adjacent to our old location, which being considerably larger has enabled the charity to provide a more extensive range of services through the Hub than was the case previously and enables us to seat twice the number of individuals to dine at any one time. 

Sanctus is also an active member of the Homelessness Forum and chairs a subgroup within it.  We host multiple agencies and recognise how key it is to work with them, even those who may be competing for funding. Within this network we have worked with other service providers to develop fundraising bids and campaigns as we acknowledge that we are all working towards the same shared goal.

## **We are open 365 days a year; our usual opening hours are:** 

- Monday to Friday – 10:30am-4pm 

- Saturday - 10:30am-2:30pm 

- Sunday - 11am-2pm 

Our Hub facility is operated across the working week with support often provided outside of these hours. 

## **Our key outcomes, all provided for free:** 

Success can mean very different things to each of our service users, it could be that we have supported someone from being street homeless into permanent housing, or someone has been able to find a job and become self-sufficient, or it can simply be that someone who was averse to receiving help, now engages with services. Some of our key outcomes during the year have included: 

- Opening every day of the year and throughout the pandemic. 

- Ongoing provision of a warm and friendly environment for those who have nowhere else to go. 

- Providing free food, drink and clothing exchange for the homeless, vulnerable and those unable to provide for themselves. In 2021, over 15,000 freshly cooked meals were served. 

- Providing free support, advice and advocacy to aid life changes and improvement. In 2021 over 2,000 free sessions were completed. 

- Assisting in the re-housing of scores of individuals. 

- Distributing other items such as clothes, sanitary products, tents and sleeping bags. 

- Collecting from local business and then distributing over 16,000 food items (sandwiches, pies, etc.) that would have gone to waste. 

- Opening bank accounts for individuals who have not had the ID to be able to do this for many years, enabling them to have their benefits/pay go directly to their account and avoiding fraud. 

- Over 70% of people who utilise the Sanctus café reported that they would eat a significantly reduced amount of food each day without us demonstrating the need and effectiveness of the services. 

- Over 90% of people who visit the Sanctus café have said they have built at least 1 new relationship through Sanctus which has had a positive impact on their life.

**Sanctus 2021 Annual Report - Summary of Activities and Achievements** 

- Over 80% reported a major or significant improvement in their circumstances through the interaction and support through the Hub. 

## **Going Forward** 

We will continue to build on the support that we have provided to date. 

Our new premises are the catalyst to help us to continue to take on the continued impact of the pandemic and economic crises head on. 

We will do this by expanding the organisations, charities and community members to help us strengthen our service provision. We will be continuing to expand our pool of volunteers with likeminded individuals, train and support our team to extend their skills sets and engage with local professions to access any professional services we may require. 

We will also add to our team and appropriate skills sets. We will continue to put maximum time and effort into supporting the homeless and vulnerable with a place of safety away from volatile situations such as drinking and drug taking and other risky behaviours and helping them access housing, work and a life worth living. 

## **Sources of Funds** 

Sanctus are extremely grateful to all the supporters who enable us to assist so many vulnerable people within our community. 2021 was focused on continuing to widen our supporter base with a focus on the long-term sustainability of the charity.  With a long-term lease for our new building, we have also been able to submit bids for larger and often, more established funds. We are now a 10-year proven charity with a clear 10-year horizon. 

The ongoing pandemic meant the cancellation of a number of potential events which obviously impacted fundraising. However, continued increased support from businesses, both local and national as well as individuals enabled us to continue to provide all of our services without interruption. We are extremely grateful to all supporters and funders who helped us in 2021 and we would particularly like to acknowledge the Mayor of Chelmsford Charities for their patronage during 2020 and 2021 along with, Chelmsford City Council and the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for their long-term support of the charity.

We are looking forward to the journey ahead of us and we thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for their support.

## **Sanctus Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31st December 2021** 

## Note 1 **Basis of preparation** 

## **1.1 Basis of accounting** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: 

The Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 

and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.* 

## **1.2  Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern. 

## **1.3 Change of accounting policy** 

The accounts present a true and fair view and the accounting policies adopted are those outlined in note 2. 

Page 13 



## **Sanctus Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31st December 2021** 

## **Note 2                           Accounting policies** 

## **2.2 INCOME** 

**Recognition of income** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; ·       it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required **Offsetting** or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income **Grants and donations** recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). **Government grants** The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the **Tax reclaims on** donor.  Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift **donations and gifts** and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. Donated goods are received by the charity and often includes fresh food requiring rapid **Donated goods** distribution to beneficiaries.The trustees consider it impractical to count and value these goods . **Support costs** The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs. The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described **Volunteer help** in the trustees’ annual report. **Income from interest,** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can **royalties and dividends** be measured reliably. 

## **2.3 EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** 

**Liability recognition** Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. Support costs include central function costs and have been allocated to activity cost **Governance  and support** categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources on a reasonable, justifiable **costs** and consistant basis, **Redundancy cost** The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. **Deferred income** No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade **Creditors** discounts A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently **Provisions for liabilities** measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date

## **2.4 ASSETS** 

## **Tangible fixed assets for use by charity** 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £250 

They are valued at cost. 

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual valueover the useful economic life of the asset as follows: 

Leasehold Improvements Over the term of the lease Fixtures & fittings Over the term of the lease Plant and machinery 50% straight line 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity.  Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
