Rlsk Revlew
We have continued and maintained a systematic process to identify, assess, and manage risks
that could impact the organisation's objectives. Here's a summary of the key components and
finding during the process:
Risk Identification
Identify Potential Risks: Recognise potential risks across various facets of the
organisation, including financial, operational, strategic, and compliance-related risks.
Document Risks: we have documented each identified risk to ensure a
comprehensive understanding, and these were explained to the delivery team.
Review and Update
Regular Reviews: we conduct regular risk review meetings to reassess risks and
update mitigation strategies as needed.
Update Risk Register: Document conclusions from risk review meetings and update
the risk register with any new risks or changes in existing risks.
By following these steps, the organisation has proactively managed risks and enhance its
resilience's against potential challenges.
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and
to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and
error, against the non-compliance with our policies and good practice. The Trustees recognise
the importance of identifying and putting in place effective arrangements for the
management of risk. A Risk Register has been established and hasibeen approved by the Board
of Trustees. It is kept under regular review by the Board of Trustees and any changes to risk
are, teviewed at each Trustees meeting. Financial risks assoclated with reducing income
streams from the government and trust funding has led to the development of a 2 year
fundraising strategy which plans for and supports the diversification of funding and activities.
Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been in place to diminish the risk the charity
faces. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure they continue to meet the needs
of the charity.

Plymouth Hope
Report of the Trustees- For the year ended 29 February 2024
worked closely with the operational team to ensure budget setting and forecasting
are aligned with our policies.
6. Stakeholder Engagement.. Engaging with donors, partners, and volunteers is vital for
securing funding and support. Plymouth Hope relies on the generosity of donors and
the dedication of volunteers to bridge financial gaps. We have continued to share our
good practice to build trust with donors.
By adheringto these financial management practices, we have maintained our operations and
continue delivering programmes effectively.
Day-to-Day Financial Management is handled by our finance sub-committee who has put
guidance in place a trained staff management team on handling petty cash, providing evidence
of expenditures, managing individual project budgets. We have operated our finances with
the help of a petty cash handler, and we use the Xero accounting software which made our
finance team job easier and produced regular reporting of the financial state. The Trustees
are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure
that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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 in the United Kingdom governing
the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other
jurisdictions. The Trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting
right5. The Trustees have had no beneficial interest in the charity.
Monitorin
& Evaluation
We continuously monitor and evaluate our work against our charitable objectives, keeping
track through a monthly review of our work and impact. To measure success against our
objectives, we are monitoring and measuring a number of aspects, including but not limited
to: number of reports disseminated and our social media activity including a newsletter.
Thanks to the reporting tool UPSHOT funded by the Rank Foundation, we have continued to
utilise it to record each and every activity and action we deliver. In addition to this, we have
maintained our approach to remain a need led organisation and as such our focus on
organising focus groups regrouping beneficiaries and volunteer5 was excelled, for example we
run few sessions online where asylum seekers in different accommodations were able to take
part and tell us about the connectivity project and raise any difficulties.

volunteering opportunities and where possible they can be introduced to a befriender,
someone willing to support their integration in the new community. During this year we
completed seven training sessions with newly arrived asylum seekers to enable their
placement with other organisations including with us.

4. #Iwill Campaign: we made a local participation effective in the national #Iwill
Campaign, which promotes social action among young people and encourages them
to lead change in their communities.
The programme aims to inspire the next generation of leaders to champion equity and
inclusivity by actively involving them in social action and advocacy efforts.
The group of young people continued to thrive to see change and improvement in their local
community (Plymouthl. One of the main places that they want to make a change and impact
is within schools. During the campaign They have led on an Anti-Racism, Anti-Bullying and
Anti-Discrimination campaign giving them the opportunity to create a range of materials
campaigns, such as poems, song lyrics and report boxes that they want to see and be placed
in schools, parks and around Plymouth where young people can seek help and advice when
they have been a victim of such things. They have also come up with solutions for barriers,
such as young people having concerns about snitching so they have come up with
anonymous reporting boxes, a helpline to be put in place and for teachers to have training
and attend workshop to support their methods of dealing with incidents.
The project objectives
Having worked with the young people on the #IWILL CHARTER during the campaign, they are
planning to visit their local public figures including the local MP and have their voices heard
on how these issues have such a negative impact on children and younE people and how it
can have a long-life effect. This charterwill enable them to suggest how it can be implemented
and prevented in our local community, thus making Plymouth a safer place for young people
to grow and develop into our next generation. They would also like to ensure that the next
generation of children and young people know where and who to go to seek advice and help
as they feel that schoo15 often don't have the proper resources or knowledge on how to spot
racism, discrimination and bullyi ng and how it is quickly and easily dismissed. Having different
stakeholders signing up to the charter including schools will also help and support children,
young people and their teachers to deal with arising issues.

Flnanclal Re
ort
We have received a total amount of income £317,816.17 and our total expenditure were
£315,091.56. Donations and funds were secured toward all expenditures, so despite delays in
some payments, our finances have remained unaffected.
Our accounts were prepared, reviewed and approved by the board with enough time to allow
full examination before submission to the charity commission.
Independent examiners
Charity Accountants were re-appointed as independent examiners to the charitable during
the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity
Reserve
olic
The reserves policy is reviewed at least every two years. This year the policy was to hold a
financial reserve equivalent to 3 months operating costs. This level of reserve was set as it was
deemed both reasonably achievable and to be of a sufficient level to ensure continuing
operation of the charity, in light of the charity holding a number of multi-year grants. Through
regular monitoring of the cashflow, trustees agreed that up to 3 months running cost was
sufficient as reserve so that it is at a level to allow us run for a minimum period of three
months. The current reserves in general fund are below this level.
Public benef it
Reserves policy The Trustees have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to
have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
