Trustees' Report (continued)

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

We worked with 433 families, including 199 new clients.

24% had limited leave to remain with no recourse to public funds and 55% were undocumented.

93% of our clients were women, and 73% were lone parents.

We worked with clients from 64 different countries. 41% were Nigerian and 14% were Ghanaian.

72% of our clients lived in London, with larger numbers in Southeast and East London.

54% of clients had tried to access support under s.17 before they approached us, and 69% of those had been refused. Families who had been turned away from social services experienced a wide range of problems, including inadequate housing and homelessness, not having enough money, domestic abuse, threats to safety and exploitation.

Project 17 supported 200 families (46%) to access accommodation, and 217 (50%) families to access financial support under s.17.

66% of clients accessed foodbank vouchers, 22% received a grant from Project 17 and 14% received an external grant. 4% accessed our Hotel Fund.

We asked for feedback from 30 clients. 83% rated the service as 10/10 and 100% said they better understood their options after speaking to us. One client said “it is very different now. I was mentally and emotionally drained. I was pregnant. I got support in all possible ways beyond my expectations.”.

Capacity building:

We delivered 23 training sessions to 536 participants.

●100% rated the training excellent or good (67% excellent, 33% good)

●90% say their knowledge has improved since training (the other 10% rated their knowledge as on same level after training)

●100% say it was useful for their role

Feedback included:

“Really approachable trainers who thoughtfully and comprehensively answered everything we asked.” "Informative and very useful. Excellent trainers, useful information for us to take back to work practices and challenge decisions. Case studies and discussions were excellent.”

This year we reviewed and updated our resources and launched a new website.

We responded to 452 queries on our advice line, up from 331 last year. We collected feedback from 32 callers. 100% said they found the advice helpful. Feedback included: “I received some incredible advice on the best way to proceed with applying to the Local Authority for section 17 of the Children Act 1989 for emergency support and subsistence payments for a mother and her 2 small children. I was also given a template letter to make a requests, and further advice on things to look out for and be aware of when making the request. The advice was superb.”

Trustees' Report (continued)

Strategic work:

We have continued to work with United Impact, a group of clients affected by NRPF interested in building solidarity and creating strategic change. The group worked on a range of issues, including a photography project documenting their experiences; responding to a DWP consultation; and participating in parliamentary events. Evaluation of the project show that people felt they had more opportunities to talk to people in power, and felt more supported and able to share their thoughts and feelings around having NRPF.

At the local authority level, we have engaged with Croydon, Newham, Southwark and Birmingham. We have worked with Southwark and Newham to increase the rates of subsistence support provided to families receiving s.17. In Birmingham, we have been focusing on good practice, provide training for their teams and working with local organisations to reduce gatekeeping and ensure those in need of support can access it. Croydon has been less receptive to our attempts to engage, and we have recently submitted a long letter of complaint outlining various issues with the implementation of support. This is yet to be resolved, and will likely go to the Local Government Ombudsman for adjudication.

On a national level, we hold the co-secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group on No Recourse to Public Funds. We held three events last year, giving parliamentarians the opportunity to hear from people directly affected by NRPF, as well as working with experts to provide briefings and evidence. We also worked with larger organisation and networks, reviewing, supporting and providing evidence for parliamentary briefings and consultations.

We have also supported change through litigation, including a joint project with Southwark Law Centre and Garden Court Chambers looking at the implementation of s.22 Children and Families Act, trying to improve the support children with special educational needs and disabilities receive during the s.17 assessment process. We have been building up an evidence base through FOI requests, reviews of case data and working with a focus group, with the intention of engaging in litigation to ensure councils fulfil their duties to refer and assess under s.22.

Financial review

Project 17’s income streams remained robust with total income for the year of £350,523, a slight increase compared to the prior year comparative of £340,508. However this was achieved against a backdrop of rising costs resulting from exceptional levels of inflation. Total expenditure for the year was £368,823 compared to £342,413 for the year ended 31 March 2022. Overall, this resulted in a net expense of £18,300 for the year, compared to a net expense of £1,905 for the year ended 31 March 2022.

We are conscious of the impact that the prevailing levels of inflation and associated cost of living crisis is having on all of our stakeholders. Looking ahead we will continue to manage our finances carefully, balancing the rising costs impacting our clients and staff alongside the challenges the economic environment poses to our funders.

Project Seventeen

Trustees' Report (continued)

Policy on reserves

Project 17’s reserve policy states that unrestricted funds, which have not been designated for a specific use, should be maintained at a level equivalent to three to six months of expenditure. At this level the Trustees feel the reserves appropriately support Project 17’s resilience against the key financial risks facing the organization, being the unforeseen loss of funding or incurring unforeseen expenditure, and are sufficient to cover associated expenditure commitments were Project 17 to be wound down. The reserves policy is reviewed by the Trustees on a regular basis, at least once a year.

At 31 March 2023, reserves were £238,770, equivalent to over six months of Project 17’s total budgeted expenditure for the following financial year. While this amount exceeds the reserves policy, in light of the level of funding still to be secured for the coming financial year, it is expected that reserves will be required to supplement Project 17’s restricted funds.

Structure, governance and management

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Project Seventeen

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Project Seventeen

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Project Seventeen (the Charity) for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Project Seventeen meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Page 11

Project Seventeen

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 (continued)

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the over the period of the relevant borrowing.

Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
