TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The Trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report and the audited financial statement of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities as updated by Bulletin 1 in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.
The Directors of the charitable company (the charity) are its Trustees for the purposes of charity law and throughout this report are collectively referred to as the Trustees.
As part of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) regulations a Trustees Annual Report is required together with the financial audit and it is therefore logical and efficient to embed its business, finance, strategic plans and reviews into this Report.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The objectives of the charity are the prevention or relief of poverty for public benefit particularly but not exclusively in West Yorkshire, particularly of people who are homeless, about to become homeless or who are in housing need by providing advice, advocacy, support and training in relation to health, housing, learning and employment.
Significant activities
Fusion Housing provides housing support, advice and guidance in housing related matters to the citizens of Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield.
Public benefit and eligibility criteria
The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the organisation’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
In year achievements/performance:
Fusion Housing is a long-established organisation focused on the prevention of homelessness and poverty through the provision of housing support, advice, supported accommodation, employment support and a Food Bank.
The organisation has supported the most vulnerable people in the Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield communities by providing valuable services for the betterment of those individuals and families.
Our Mission is to ‘empower people to make informed life choices and to actively take part in shaping a positive future for themselves and their communities’.
Our aim is to ensure that individuals and families have access to suitable, affordable accommodation along with skills needed to successfully manage and keep that accommodation; helping them to overcome the barriers that can prevent them from achieving their potential, and preventing homelessness.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (Continued)
Housing Advice
The advice service provides, for public benefit, a confidential and not for profit advice service for individuals age 16 and over in the Kirklees and Wakefield areas. We provide specialist legal advice on housing and related matters including:
-
Rent and Mortgage arrears – financial problems relating to housing, help with court applications to prevent eviction and claims for benefit to help pay housing costs.
-
Notices to leave the home and threats of eviction
-
Harassment and illegal eviction
-
Court hearings for home repossession including representation via a Housing Possession Court Duty Scheme at Huddersfield and Wakefield County Courts
-
Homelessness – prevention, applying for help and Challenging Local Authority decision
-
Housing Benefit claims, decisions and overpayments
-
Finding a place to live – advice about options in Kirklees
Initial Contact service/Food and More service
Our Initial Contact service acts as the first point of contact to access other Fusion services and provides initial advice and support on housing and related issues across Kirklees.
The Food and More service runs our Food Bank provision in Dewsbury. The service also assisted with furniture and home starter packs via the Household Fund.
HOMEs
Our HOMEs service provides supported and emergency accommodation for single people and single parent families who are homeless and require additional support to enable them to maintain accommodation and live independently. Accommodation is available in the Kirklees, Wakefield and Calderdale areas and consists of both self-contained and shared living options. Residents can stay for up to 2 years whilst they explore longer term options and receive the help they need to address issues they may have which put them at risk of homelessness.
Whilst having the overall aim of addressing homelessness and housing insecurity, we also, enable access to other services including those addressing mental health and substance misuse, and support people into education, training and employment. Assistance is also given in improving financial resilience in the form of budgeting support, income maximisation and support with benefits, or access to our Money Management learning provision.
Fundraising activities
Fusion Housing funds are sought through grants and contracts with grant and contract making bodies.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The results for the year and financial position of the company are shown in the financial statements.
Year End Position
Our annual accounts result to the year ending 31[st] March 2024 reflect the challenges and difficulties Fusion Housing had faced during the previous financial year to 31[st] March 2023. During the financial year to 31[st] March 2024 we focused intensely on improving our financial position through cost management, liability management and income management with a commitment to bring the charity back to a better financial standing.
Our fundraising programme became important for our future development and we were successful in acquiring several grants to help further sustainability for our Food and More Service and Employability provision. Our Reaching Communities Grant, over the next three years, has given us the opportunity to enhance diversion work for those people who are reliant on Food Banks and will embed budgeting skills, financial management, wellbeing support and employability skills to help people move away from the reliance on emergency food provision.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (Continued)
During the financial year our largest income generating service, HOMEs, began a journey of re-structure and diversification of the portfolio of supported accommodation properties and bringing on additional properties into our new Emergency Accommodation provision. This is a service that is much needed in all areas we serve and gives residents a more appropriate temporary housing option which is a stepping stone to breaking the cycle of homelessness. We are continuing with the restructure programme which will see our services becoming more streamlined and will underpin the growing need for supported accommodation in the West Yorkshire areas we serve.
Strategic Business Plan
So, what are we doing to reduce the financial impact and strengthen our charity in the following financial year from April 2024?
-
We will continue to improve our financial position through further cost management, liability management and income generation.
-
We will continue with our robust strategy to reduce the number of vacant units in our supported accommodation service, which will increase the level of income needed for the financial year ahead.
-
We are continuing on our journey of restructuring services to meet the changing needs of our charity’s clients and service users in line with our external funding.
-
We have embarked on an active fund-raising programme and will embed this into our ongoing charity planning for the charity.
Embedded in our strategy is the passion and expertise of our Staff and Board members to enable us to fulfil our vision, with the aim of benefiting the communities we serve.
Summary
Financially it has been an unprecedented couple of years reflecting the cost of living crisis across the country and reductions in local authority funding. We are weathering the storm and have made significant progress in bringing the organisation to a better, more sustainable, financial standing. We are reducing our liabilities and have a more robust income strategy that will continue throughout the next financial year and beyond.
Reserves Policy
Fusion Housing will seek to ensure a minimum level of reserves of at least 5% of annual operating costs and will have flexibility at each accounting year for a reduction or increase of funds.
Going concern
The trustees have considered the impact of the previous financial year and other changes that have had an impact on the charity during this year and are likely to have in the future. Whilst acknowledging that operations could still be affected in the short-term at least, the Trustees believe they have put suitable measures in place to ensure that the charity will be able to continue with its activities going forward. The Trustees therefore believe that the preparation of the financial statements on the going concern basis is appropriate.
Future Plans
Fusion Housing will seek to diversify and attract funds into the core charity activities in order to secure the provision of quality, person centred, housing services and advice to those that need them. We will continue to develop and monitor our provision so that it consistently meets the standards required by the Accreditations we hold such as Matrix and the Specialist Quality Mark.

FUSION HOUSING KIRKLEES LIMITED
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 (continued)
Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement
The Trustees (who are also the directors of Fusion Housing Kirklees Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware: and
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

FUSION HOUSING KIRKLEES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Independent Auditor’s Report to the trustees of Fusion Housing Kirklees Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Fusion Housing Kirklees Limited (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2024, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
We draw attention to note 1 (k) in the financial statements, which indicates that the charity incurred a net deficit of £25,170 during the year ended 31 March 2024 and, as of that date, the company’s liabilities exceeded its assets by £214,448. As stated in note 1 (k), these events, along with other matters as set forth in note 1 (k), indicate that the charity is reliant on continued financial support from various stakeholders to be able to continue to operate. Accordingly, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

FUSION HOUSING KIRKLEES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the trustees’ annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
the information given in the financial statements is inconsistent in any material respect with the trustees’ report; or
-
the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on page 6, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

FUSION HOUSING KIRKLEES LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that Act.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charitable company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation (ie. gives a true and fair view).
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with 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) issued on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
(b) Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
(c) Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
(d) Raising funds
Raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising, events and non-charitable trading.
(e) Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
(f) Allocation and apportionment of costs
Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly. Support costs that are not wholly attributable to a single activity are apportioned across the activities based upon calculations such as floor area or estimated usage.

(g) Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - over the lease term Tenancy property assets - 33% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% on cost
(h) Taxation
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. The charity is consequently exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities
(i) Fund Accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
(j) Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company’s pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
(k) Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees consider that the charity can continue to operate for the 12 months following the date of their approval of these financial statements. The charity incurred a deficit of £25,170 during the year and had net liabilities of £214,448 at the end of the year. These historical results arose last year and were caused by changes to key funding streams alongside the impact of COVID causing delay to repair and maintenance schedules of managed properties leading to a high level of vacant properties. It was not possible for the charity to immediately reduce its cost base in response to these challenges. Matters were exasperated by delays in the charity receiving funding from various sources.
The charity has been involved in active discussions with both funders and creditors who have generally been very supportive. New contracts have been secured, in particular an Emergency Accommodation programme, and a only small deficit arose in the current year. A surplus and reduction in net liabilities are anticipated for the year to 31 March 2025 with further positive progress forecast for the following year. With careful management of cash flow and on-going support from stakeholders, the trustees are confident that the charity can continue to operate and provide its valuable services to individuals with housing challenges in the Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield communities.
