Homelessness remains a critical issue in Britain, and Chelmsford is no different. At any one time in the Chelmsford area there are up to 40 people sleeping rough. But homelessness comes in many different forms and includes people in temporary accommodation, overcrowded shared housing, or who may just be sofa surfing. The latest Government figures show that 120,000 households nationally are homeless, and within that figure there are 150,000 children. Nationally, more than 3,200 children are living in bed and breakfast accommodation for longer than the legal limit of six weeks. Many more people live on the margins - often with insufficient resources or stability in their lives - these vulnerable people teeter on the edge, just one small personal crisis away from joining the homeless. We want to help address the symptoms of homelessness in Chelmsford and more widely in Essex, contribute towards addressing its root causes, and provide support, encouragement and aid to those that are vulnerable. ## **How we do it** 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. We operate a café and day centre in the heart of Chelmsford that provides a safe, warm and supportive environment where anyone who wishes can come to eat, shelter from the weather and be around others with the aim of preventing fear, loneliness or discomfort. Through the work of our Support Hub we offer free tailored support and assistance to help improve quality of life without judgment or selection. Our support sessions may 2 Final Ver 1.0 enable a benefits issue to be resolved, a housing application to be submitted, a job application to be completed, signposting to wider services, or may be part of the journey to prevent someone from taking drastic steps. During 2024, in collaboration with our local NHS Community Trust, we established and developed a ‘pop-up’ GP service operating one day per week from our premises. We are open six days per week (Monday to Saturday), serving a freshly cooked hot meal each day. We also provide a foodbank and ‘end of day’ items from generous retailers such as Marks and Spencer’s and Greggs, and can help with emergency items such as tents, sleeping bags and clothing for those that are rough sleeping. Ours is also a community space, which we invite other service providers to utilise, to generate a holistic approach to supporting individuals. We happily work with others to provide the best results for people in need, and our network of contacts, partnerships and collaborations means that we speedily leverage resources far greater than those that we can provide by ourselves. There are no criteria to receive our support. Our work is person centred, meaning we tailor a bespoke offering to everyone. We aim to help vulnerable individuals build confidence and trust in support services, so they can be helped not only by us, but from other agencies and statutory services. ## **Our impact** During the 12 months of 2024 we: - hosted 20,668 café visits - served 17,917 lunchtime meals - supported a community of 738 individuals (of which 332 were new to Sanctus during 2024) - provided more than 2,000 free hub support and mentoring sessions - assisted 12 individuals in securing accommodation - supported many service users with Essential Living Fund applications - provided financial wellbeing courses for 50 service users - provided courses of counselling for 28 individuals - supported 9 domestic violence victims - provided one full day each week hosting a full GP and Practice Nurse pop-up service with a full programme of both pre-booked and walk in appointments - through the GP service made an early cancer diagnosis for an individual who otherwise wouldn’t have had access to primary care Each service user comes to Sanctus with differing needs. The following briefly describe two cases that our Hub Team have closely supported during 2024: Jack has been coming to Sanctus for a number of years. He has a long-term brain injury which badly effects his ability to give and receive information, and he is 3 Final Ver 1.0 currently struggling with his mental health. He has been having problems with his neighbours at his Housing Association accommodation and is now becoming too scared to stay there. Sanctus have been able to support Jack to successfully appeal for a Personal Independence Payment and are now working with him and his housing officer to help him with an application for alternative accommodation. In the medium-term Sanctus hope to help Jack into supported housing, which will much better suit his needs. Frank is a pensioner and after suffering a ‘no fault’ eviction from his rented room in Southend ended up sleeping on his niece’s lounge floor in Chelmsford. Sanctus worked with Frank to complete the application forms, gather evidence and write a supporting letter to find new accommodation. After a very complex and frustrating six-month application period Frank has been allocated a flat by Southend Council, which would not have been possible without our support. Key achievements during 2024 include: - Receiving the Kings Award for Voluntary Service from the Lord Lieutenant of Essex - Commencing and developing a weekly pop-up GP service for our service users within our building - Commencing a pilot scheme enabling rough sleepers to get a shower and have their clothes washed on a regular basis - Opening our first ever charity shop - Operating a weeklong food concession at a local festival - Serving over 350 Christmas meals to paying customers to raise money for the charity ## **Our trustees, staff and volunteers** Our Trustees are recruited via local advert, and occasionally via direct expressions of interest. As of June 2025 we have eight Trustees and have an even gender split on the Board. We welcome diversity in our Trustee group and are constantly striving to reflect the make-up of our service user base. We have a small but dedicated and highly skilled staff team of 13 people. We have a low staff turnover reflecting commitment to both the charity itself and more widely to the cause of homelessness. Sanctus are proud adopters of the Real Living Wage as the entry level to our salary scale, regardless of age. We also have over 100 volunteers who provide support for our café, food collections, events and our new charity shop. The volunteers come from many different backgrounds and provide a host of skills and experience, which are freely offered. 4 Final Ver 1.0 In 2023 we were honoured to be granted The King’s Award for Voluntary Service, which is the highest honour in the charity world, and is the equivalent of an MBE for the organisation, which we now hold in perpetuity. This award was formally presented to us in the spring of 2024. As of June 2025, our senior staff team and our Board of Trustees are as follows: ## Senior staff team Emma Hughes – Chief Executive Officer Toni Brockwell – Café and Community Fundraising Manager Sarah Coppin – Support Hub Manager Evelyn Fitz-Patrick – Senior Grant Co-ordinator Carolyn Searle – Finance Officer ## Board of Trustees Roy Fuller Nigel Hardy Debbie Johnston Councillor Linda Mascott Ian Nicholson Sarah Stevens Stephen Turoff Andrina Warsop ## **Our finances** Our charity receives no statutory Government funding and has no significant legacy donations through which to pay for our activities. This means we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses alongside grant funding from charitable trusts and other organisations, and the income that we generate through our events and our charity shop. We are proud to be in receipt of a multi-year National Lottery Award, but each year we need to raise more than £350,000 on top of this to keep our doors open. We are hugely grateful that we have a dedicated group of supporters, sponsors and volunteers who are committed to seeing Sanctus succeed, and fund raising will remain a critical aspect of our operation. Sanctus endeavours to maintain two months funds as reserves and is seeking is seeking to increase this as fundraising activities allow. 5 Final Ver 1.0 ## **Our strategic direction for both the short and long term** In the spring of 2024, we set seven strategic goals for Sanctus in order that we can continue to deliver our charitable objectives: - Financial stability and income growth – The financial stability of the charity, with sufficient reserves to weather unforeseen circumstances, is critical to success. Within this the consistency and predictability of our income is vital, as is growing our income streams in line with rising costs and the ambitions of the charity. - Maintaining the quality, excellence and reach of our current service provision – our basic service offering of café and support hub is now well established and works well for our service users – we continue to maintain both the quality, frequency and accessibility of this existing provision. - Expansion of our geographical area of impact – in the medium to long term we will consider extending the reach of Sanctus to new communities elsewhere in Essex. - Expansion of our service provision – before the expansion of our area we continue to expand the services that we offer from our base here in Chelmsford, embracing new opportunities and taking on new challenges where there are clear benefits for our service users and the local community. - Maintaining that ‘inside out’ feeling – Sanctus started from nothing in 2012 and has grown to what it is today through the commitment, dedication and vision of its staff and volunteers, and by listening to our service users – we continue to maintain that caring, compassionate and pioneering approach in everything that is done, ensuring that our team spirit and sense of family are never lost. - Being a good employer and volunteer host – while we understand that our staff and volunteers are here because they care, we don’t take advantage of that and continue to ensure that conditions and benefits are as good as they can be, in line with best practice elsewhere in the voluntary sector. We strive to ensure that both staff and volunteers feel that they can contribute fully to the success of the charity. - Being a community bridge – we are at our best when we use all our contacts, partnerships and collaborations to multiply the resources that our service users have access to. We remain open and willing to work with other organisations, establishing new links wherever appropriate and possible. We also use our experience and expertise to help others where we can and continue to be a positive contributor to the community of Chelmsford, and the prosperity and success of the city as a whole. 6 Final Ver 1.0 ## **Public benefit** In making decisions, the Trustees and staff team at Sanctus have due regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance whenever they exercise powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant. ## **Exemptions of disclosure** Other than for purposes of confidentiality and/or GDPR no information has been withheld. ## **Funds held as custodian on behalf of others** We do not have custodian Trustees, all Trustees are managing Trustees. 7 Final Ver 1.0 CHARITY COMMISSION FOR ENGLAND AND WALES Independent examinerfs report on the accounts Section A Independent Examiner's Report Report to the trustees Sanctus On accounts for the year ended 31 st December 2024 Charity no (if any) 1150313 Set out on pages 1-26 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (Ihe Trusf) for the year ended 31 St December 2024.

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.
