FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

2022 was, for most people and especially for those Encompass aims to support, a difficult year. There were significant cost increases in basic necessities such as utilities and food, and the cost of living generally increased. There is no sign of a downturn as we write this report.

This has put demand on our services, as wages and benefits have struggled to keep up with the cost of living. People had to go without necessities and turned to foodbanks, or lost their homes.

As a charity, we struggled too, as our utility bills rose by 60% from the previous year and donations to our food bank reduced in the year; those that previously gave to us could no longer afford to do so. We had huge demand for all our services and, unfortunately, saw other agencies struggling to meet the demand they are also facing.

Despite all of this, we have helped individuals make some huge changes and steps towards positive outcomes, whether that be learning how to cook, finding their forever home, reigniting relationships with children or overcoming addiction.

We changed our name in 2022 to ‘Encompass’ and have been overwhelmed with support for our new name, logo and branding. We are proud of our roots and recognise the amazing work that was done under our old name. However, we wanted something easier to read and remember, and which represented what we do and who we support.

Many different people and organisations make our work possible, from our grant funders to the local council, our residents who put effort and time into giving back to their community, to people who donate vegetables to our foodbank and to all those who donate financially and with their time. We are grateful to them all. We are incredibly grateful to our staff and volunteers for their hard work, enthusiasm and positivity as we have navigated 2022. We plan to continue to have a positive impact on those we support into 2023 and beyond.

The Trustees are pleased to present the Trustee’s Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2022. Both the report and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with financial accounting policies ‘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) (effective I "January 2019).

Aims, Objectives and Activities

The purposes of the charity are as follows:

  1. The relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, through the provision of accommodation and associated services to those facing homelessness and addiction; food banks and support for those in poverty; a day centre for all those who face these issues as well as those who are marginalised; advice and support for individuals in need

  2. The promotion of the efficiency and effectiveness of charities with a Christian ethos for the public benefit in Northamptonshire in particular but not exclusively by the provision of advice and support to faith groups and practical assistance to voluntary and community sectors, statutory bodies and other agencies.

These purposes are achieved through service delivery for individuals, namely:

Homeless Services : Encompass runs two homeless accommodations, one in Rushden and another in Corby, with a total of 15 beds for individuals, all of which are single units with shared facilities.

The aim of the homeless accommodation is to identify barriers to individuals maintaining their own accommodation, and to help them overcome any barriers to reduce a potential return to homelessness. This might include, but is not limited to, addressing financial issues, teaching budgeting and ensuring they are entitled to the right benefits; domestic skills such as paying bills, cooking and cleaning; employment skills such as training schemes, engaging with the local job centre, and relevant IT skills; facilitating engagement with other specialist agencies such as addiction services.

Our aim is not just to provide a bed, but to have a longer term impact by supporting clients to address challenges and to facilitate a move-on into an environment that is suited to their needs. We continue to provide support once they have moved-on to try and ensure the accommodation is sustained. For some, the move-on most appropriate to them may be into a supported accommodation for longer term support, but for others, this could be straight into their own independent accommodation.

The aim to try and address the root cause and reduce cyclical homelessness not only resolves the issue of an individual being homeless, but also helps reduce pressure on the local council to respond to rough sleeping and also reduces the use of NHS services. We aim to resolve financial challenges as a priority and therefore, reduce the impact on the welfare state and reduce reliance on crime, such as theft, to survive. There are longer term economic benefits for those that go back into work or who volunteer.

For the first half of 2022, in partnership with North Northamptonshire Council and funded by DHLUC, Encompass hosted an outreach worker who supported those in East Northamptonshire who were homeless and not in accommodation, and to support people who were at risk of homelessness to prevent it.

Residential Rehab: Encompass runs a rehabilitation programme for those with drug and alcohol addictions, based in Rushden. The initial phase of the programme runs for 6 months in the primary care house, which houses 8 people at any time. It primarily follows the Narcotics

Page 5 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Anonymous ’12 Steps Programme’ alongside other recovery techniques, accessed both inside and outside the project. After the initial phase, the clients access one of two follow-on houses, which have a total of 8 beds, where they continue on a 3-month aftercare plan to allow a phased transition to living independently. Part of the programme is to ensure that clients commit to engaging in local community work such as; volunteering, education, training, or employment. This helps the final transition into their own accommodation.

The programme gives individuals the tools needed to help address their addiction, and the Rehab also has an effective recovery community, which those who are not in active addiction, can engage in and utilise to aid their own recovery. As well as this, the programme aims to help address the impact of someone’s addiction on their family and friends and the wider community.

The objective to help an individual also provides a benefit to the family and friends of the individuals we support, commonly through helping the gentlemen become effective and present fathers to children they have, and partners where applicable, as well as mending relationships with other family members.

It also has a benefit to the wider community with significant reduction in crime and reliance on NHS services as an effect of mis-using drugs and alcohol. All residents are encouraged to volunteer and eventually, if able, enter into employment and training, providing a positive impact on the economy and reducing reliance on the welfare state.

Food Banks: Encompass operates and supports 4 foodbanks in total, in Rushden, Higham, Raunds and Thrapston, each one serving the town and surrounding villages. The foodbanks are reliant on receiving donations of food, household goods and toiletries from the local communities and distributes them to those in need. Where possible, clients are given support and advice to try and resolve financial crisis, aiming to identify their core financial issues. The Food Banks services are almost exclusively delivered by volunteers.

Day Centre: Encompass currently occupies a building which houses its offices and Rushden foodbank, as well as a space to open a day centre to help those in need, and to provide space for other agencies to delivery their services to our clients. The day centre will provide a place for agencies to come together to ensure their services are as accessible as possible to people who may be homeless or facing addiction, who find it harder to get to appointments. It will also provide spaces for laundry and showers for those who are rough sleeping, as well as low cost meals and support with ‘life admin’ to enable people to stay in accommodation.

Achievement and Performance

Homeless Services

Our homeless services, comprising of our two accommodations and outreach services, saw increased demand from 2021 on their services in 2022 and society is experiencing a cost of living crisis where there is a lack of social housing and the private rental sector is difficult to access, particularly for those we support. We worked closely with the local authority to try and house individuals who were suited to our service, and to move people on into accommodation that is the most effective for them. Our outreach service finished in June 2022, due to the

Page 6 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Council making the decision to bring the outreach services in-house to align with the other districts in North Northamptonshire. Therefore the figures for our outreach service represent only 6 months.

The achievement and performance of the homeless services are measured in both how many bed spaces we can provide to people who would otherwise be sleeping on the streets, and how many individual people we can provide a bed for, whilst also ensuring we have a longer term impact than ‘just a bed’. Our aim is not to house as many people as possible for a short time, but to provide a space where we can address barriers to housing effectively, even if that takes longer than anticipated. We also view success as being able to provide more than just a bed, whether this is access to counselling, support with opening a bank account, teaching them domestic skills or financial skills, amongst others.

Part way through 2022 we started using the Outcomes Star with our homeless clients in our accommodations to try and more accurately capture improvements in areas. The nature of the assessment tool is such that it is better over a long period and therefore we do not have the data to include in this report. However, we hope to include it in our 2023 report.

General

Addiction Services:

Our residential rehab for men is a longer term programme, and as such we do not measure success by how many people we get through the door. Due to the length of the programme, we believe the longer term impact is greater. The initial phase takes 6 months and the second and third phase another 6-12 months total. Therefore, it is hard to see the full impact of our work within one calendar year.

To try and combat this, we have started using the outcome star within our rehab, so we can see the improvements in all areas that our residents make in the year. We have also incorporated our success from previous years to demonstrate the impact we have had.

In 2022 our rehab had:

Of those who complete the primary and aftercare programme, we encourage them to engage in some form of volunteer work, training, education or employment. Of those who completed the aftercare plan in 2022 and started to transition back into society:

Outcomes

We complete Outcomes Stars with residents at the point they enter our programme, and then at various points throughout their journey. The impact measurement tool measures 10 areas of individuals lives for improvement, and assessment points are agreed between the residents and their key worker so are not dictated by staff’s opinion. A score of between 1 and 10 for each area is agreed, and progress is measured at each assessment point as to whether they have moved forward (i.e. higher in number) in any or all of the areas. It aims to provide a quantitative measurement to what is often a subjective and qualitative experience of someone’s life. It also allows support staff to create agreed upon goals for individuals based

Page 8 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

on where the individual wants to improve, and identify areas where more intensive support might be required.

The average movement in scores in all areas for the whole rehab programme were as follows:

Longer term impact

In 2023 we held a reunion event for those who have been through our rehab since 2014. For those that came (not all did), the total ‘clean time’, or time in recovery and free from drugs and alcohol, and its effects, was a total of over 86 years. 37 gentlemen attended.

Page 9 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Since 2018, 52 men completed our primary phase of the rehab; of these, at least 34 are still clean and in recovery from addiction at the time of writing this report. All of these gentleman are positively contributing to society, either through employment, volunteering, or training, positive family relationship with children and partners, and for some, supporting others through recovery. We also recognise that most, if not all of individuals, engage in criminal activity whilst in active addiction, and for those who are still in recovery they are unlikely to be engaging in this activity any longer.

It costs on average £48,000 per annum for each prisoner in a UK Prison[1] ; at least 43% of our rehab residents in 2020 and 2021 were in the prison system at some point during their active addiction. The social and economic cost of drug and alcohol misuse in the UK is estimated at £32.2bn.[2] For each individual who successfully completes our programme and utilises the tools and community they have access to, there is a reduction in cost to the UK and one less person in the prison system.

Food Banks

In 2022 we saw a significant change in the people who were attending our foodbank, not only in the numbers of people but also the demographic. We saw more people attending who were in full time employment, Ukrainian families who had moved to the UK and were struggling, people who had never used a food bank before.

Our aim with the food bank has always been to try and resolve the financial crisis that someone is experiencing, whether this is a loss of income and they need help accessing Job-Seekers Allowance, or it could be that they have a lot of debt and need help resolving this.

This became a lot more difficult in 2022; the anecdotal stories and indeed the budgeting we did with clients, demonstrated that there were issues that we couldn’t help with and that people were struggling to afford the basics. This was the case whether they were on benefits or in work.

This change in need, combined with the increase in number of people that presented, (which was a 30% increase between 2021 and 2022) meant that the work we did to resolve financial challenges was minimal and is something that as a charity we need to review. We will be undertaking a review in 2023/24 into how our food bank works, how best to help people and whether the structure is effective to help those in need during the present economic environment.

Despite these challenges, we still achieved some of our aims which is to provide relief to those facing poverty and disadvantage. Our achievements for 2022 for our foodbanks include:

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Day Centre

In 2020/2021 we found a building in which to house our offices and food bank services, with ~~an~~ the aim to open our day centre where Encompass can, with other agencies, provide an environment of holistic support for our clients, as well as providing low cost meals for those in poverty.

In 2022 we were successful in obtaining funding for the refurbishment of our Day Centre which included a completely new kitchen, laundry facilities, toilets re-fit and a wet room for showers, as well as a 121 meeting space. As this happened towards the end of 2022, we were not able to open our day centre for meals and showers etc but this is planned to happen in 2023.

However, we were able to facilitate the delivery of other services from our premises, as well as our own food bank. We welcomed Community Law, a local debt and benefit advice agency, into the building and they delivered their services from here; as there was a risk of them having little to no face-to-face service in the local area, we felt this was important to retain and benefitted our clients who have fed back that they prefer in person appointments rather than virtual or over the phone.

We also welcome the Narcotics Anonymous group meetings every week and during 2022 started conversations with S2S, a local drug and alcohol service, to start delivering their service locally too.

Fundraising Achievements

As part of our plans to open a Day Centre, we have also undertaken a fundraising campaign to purchase the building. The decision was made to ensure the security of our service delivery and give us freedom to make adjustments to the building as needed. Prior to securing the building in 2021, we explored other alternatives and viewed a number of other buildings which unfortunately, were unsuitable for our services, and ultimately felt that our Church Street building we currently occupy was the most suitable option.

As of the end of 2022, we had fundraised 62% of the total purchase price and are hopeful to complete the purchase in 2023.

In 2022, expenditure spent on fundraising accounted for just 1.5% of our total expenditure.

Future Plans

In 2022 the Board of Trustees met with staff and volunteers within the organisation, and beneficiaries were also consulted, to identify the strategic aims, with the goal of producing key strategic objectives for the next 3 years.

Page 11 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

The four primary objectives identified were:

Objective Aim
To
improve
existing
services
and
identify
opportunities to help more
individuals		 To ensure the impact we have is longer term, and where there are gaps in
service provision for the people we support, to try and meet that need, whether
that is a gap because there is a service lacking, or whether because there is a
large demand
To
engage
external
audiences in the work of the
charity and the needs of the
people we face		 To educate other organisations on the challenges of our clients and how best
to support them, to create a community that works together to support those in
need
To raise awareness of Encompass and the work we do and build on existing
support for the charity
Improve existing resources
available for clients, staff
and volunteers		 To invest in our staff and volunteers, to provide opportunities for growth,
development and getting involved with the aim of ultimately improving our
service delivery and potential future aim of accreditation
To ensure that clients are involved in the development of the charity, so that we
are ‘user led’ with the long term aim of co-production
Improve governance and
financial sustainability		 To reduce over-reliance on one income stream
To improve reporting and impact collection effectiveness
To increase the effectiveness of the Board of Trustees and succession planning

Public Benefit

Encompass provides a range of services to those in need, primarily those experiencing poverty, homelessness, and addiction, as well as loneliness and marginalisation. In nearly all cases, the secondary impact of these issues goes beyond the individual, with a high proportion of the clients being involved in crime, having reliance on benefits, unemployment, mental and physical health issues, and negative personal relationships. By addressing the root cause, these secondary issues are both passively and actively addressed by the charity, thus reducing the impact on the wider public.

The Trustees have given regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance and their duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 regarding public benefit and believe the activities and aims of the organisation satisfy the public benefit requirement.

Financial Review

Results for the year end are shown in the detailed financial statements below. These should be read in conjunction with the narrative in the annual report as well as the notes. All the information has been produced in accordance with the Charities Statements of Recommended Practice (SORP).

Page 12 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Income

The total income has increased 18% between 2021 and 2022. The breakdown of income sources is as follows:

Encompass also receives a number of ‘In Kind Donations’ which help it deliver its charitable aims. It has identified these in the financial statements under ‘In Kind Donations’ and incorporates primarily the donations of food, household items and toiletries for its food bank delivery, and free use of buildings for storage for the foodbanks.

Expenditure

The total expenditure increased 41% between 2021 and 2022 accounts. The breakdown of expenditure is as follows:

The increase in expenditure in 2022 was not anticipated fully. For 2022 we budgeted an increase of approximately 35% in our income. However the reality was that it was nearer to 60% increase. Our service delivery includes the running of 6 buildings/houses for residents and another building for staff and other services, so the utilities cost was significant. As part of our activities for residents involve the use of our minibus, we were affected by high petrol costs. Staff and volunteers also incurred increased expenses as part of their roles including the facilitating of clients attending appointments.

We also undertook significant building work to a total of £43,000 in our day centre as part of this expenditure.

We anticipate that this increase in costs will continue into 2023. The minimum wage increase is significant and will require staff costs to increase more than historically, utility bills are not likely to decrease significantly in the short term and the cost of general living items such as food and household goods, which are items that form part of our service delivery for our residents, have increased.

At the year end of 2022, we had £2k surplus with deferred funds of £136,000 into 2023 which, whilst this was less than budgeted, is still deemed by Trustees to be a positive position.

Acknowledgements

Whilst housing benefit makes up a large portion of our income, this is not enough to fund everything we do, and we would not achieve what we do each year without the support of companies and businesses, community groups, other charities, grant makers, trusts and foundations and those individuals in the community who support us each month. Whether this support is financial through a monthly or one-off donation, is a large grant to fund our work or

Page 13 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

equipment purchase, or is a company that donates food to us each month, we are very grateful. Your contribution helps to keep people fed, sheltered and free from addiction.

It is not possible to mention everyone that supports us here, especially all the individuals who donate, however we have included the organisations that supported us in 2022 in our Impact Report which can be found on our website.

Funds and Reserves

At the end of the financial year, 31 December 2022, the charity had £261,397 total reserves carried forward. This consisted of:

The total free reserves (unrestricted funds minus tangible fixed assets) total £135,055.

The Trustees chose to move funds that were designated at the end of 2021 to unrestricted reserves at the end of 2022. This was due to the minibus purchase being realised in 2022, and on the assessment that any losses that are incurred during 2023 can be transferred from unrestricted funds.

Reserves Policy

The funding of the Charity’s activities is dependent on benefits, including Housing Benefit, Universal Credit, and other associated benefits (57% in 2022), grants (13% in 2022) and donations (10% in 2022). The primary vulnerabilities within the charity’s finances are changes within public sector policy relating to Housing Benefit and welfare benefits. The Charity is also dependent on securing a number grants each year for its operation which carries risk should these not be secured. The charity also experiences fluctuations in income when occupancy of our projects is lower than anticipated, normally due to unexpected departures and turn-around times for bedrooms to be prepared for new residents.

In 2022, 31% of the Charity’s expenditure was on its Addiction Rehabilitation Activity which operates on a six-month cycle. Similarly, the average length of stay in our homeless accommodation provisions is 98 days before being moved on. In the event of a change in income in the worst case scenario, it would likely take 6-8 weeks to reaccommodate those who are homeless, and maximum 6 months for those in the rehab to complete the programme.

The Trustees feel that putting the beneficiaries at the forefront of any financial challenges, whether that is due to an unexpected loss of funding or a cash flow issue, should be what determines our Reserve level. This time period also allows the charity adequate time to secure alternative income and mitigate issues with the cash flow, if possible.

On this basis it is the decision of the Board of Trustees that a 6-month reserves level equivalent to six months of total annual expenditure is appropriate.

The reserve fund is held in the bank Current Account and is reviewed regularly by the Trustees at Board meetings. It is also used for month-by-month changes in cash flow if required.

It is recognised that at the end of the 2022 financial year, the free reserves level (unrestricted funds minus tangible fixed assets) is currently at £135,055 which is approximately only 2 months of total expenditure. The Trustees have recognised that this is due to the expenditure

Page 14 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

of the charity increasing significantly over the last three years and the reserves level, whilst they have also increased, have not increased in proportion to this.

Part of the strategic plan is to pursue other sources of income to increase levels of unrestricted funds, and to identify other opportunities for service delivery which will contribute towards these funds. Similarly, a review of the cost recovery and cost allocation will be undertaken to ensure that this is accurately represented in grant applications. It is also recognised that, should the purchase of the day centre and office building be possible, this will represent a large tangible fixed asset. Whilst this could not be utilised to mitigate cash flow, it provides an opportunity to resolve funding challenges if required. Once this is achieved the Trustees will review the Reserves policy to identify whether any change needs to be made in respect of this.

Risk Management

Encompass holds a risk register which is reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Trustees. Identification of new risks between the reviews is delegated to the CEO and the Chairman as part of the reporting and supervision structure. Day to day management of the risks is delegated to the CEO. Any new risks that are identified are raised with the Board at the next meeting, or if more urgent, this is done so sooner in order to put in place mitigation measures.

Throughout 2022, there were no risks identified that were deemed to be unmanageable or for which risk mitigation measures could not be put in place. At the end of 2022 and for 2023, the following risks were identified as the primary risks to the organisation:

Risk Mitigation
Cost of living impact on staff and volunteers
resulting in inability to retain people and
subsequent impact on workloads and
recruitment challenges to replace them		 Development plan to be generated to work
to increase staff salaries where possible and
a review of the workloads and descriptions
of staff to try and ensure they enjoyed their
roles. The need to increase income for core
costs was identified and this will be done in
line with plan for increasing reserves. Staff
have an Employee Assistance Programme
available for them and wellbeing is a focus of
supervisions/one to one meetings with line
managers.
The
Corby
Homeless
accommodation
requires funding from the council to be
sustainable and this was not certain at the
end of 2022. Similarly, in 2023 it was
identified that there was likely a need to re-
tender for the project and the uncertainty
around what this would entail, and whether it
was a financially viable option, was
unknown. The loss of the project meant a
reduction in contribution to core costs.		 The Trustees accepted that this is a risk that
has limited mitigation measures and efforts
should be made to prepare for every
outcome where possible.
This includes as above, securing income
streams that are unrestricted to cover core
costs and for effective cost recovery in
grants. It also includes open and regular
conversations with the Council in order to
secure funding for the project and to
determine the future process.

Page 15 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Funding for the purchase of the day centre building not being achieved and therefore the loss of the building itself and the £10,000 that was given as a non-refundable deposit in 2021.

At the time of writing the landlord had agreed to provide an extension on the lease in order to help us achieve this.

At the time of reporting, the future of the Corby Homeless Accommodation is unknown, as the Council have made publicly available the tender opportunity with a contract start date of 1[st] October 2023. The Trustees have not yet made a decision about whether they will submit a tender for this, due to the changes in the specification and the financial implication of this. Similarly, there is a possibility that, if another agency is not identified by the Council, Encompass will need to continue to deliver the service until such time as one is appointed. There is a cost implication of losing this project, as the project contributes towards the core costs of running the organisation through the support cost allocation. Trustees believe that there are sufficient plans in place to mitigate this and with other income streams to be accessed, ensures that this does not represent an issue towards going concern, but does constitute a material uncertainty.

Contribution made by volunteers

Encompass is incredibly lucky to have the support of volunteers to enable the delivery of its work.

Rushden, Higham, Raunds and Thrapston food banks operate almost exclusively due to the volunteers that give up their time and support to deliver the service.

Recovery House relies on volunteers to ensure it has 24/7 provision of staffing, to ensure someone is always available for individuals to access support, ensuring the security and safety of the project.

Both our homeless accommodations also utilise volunteers to provide additional support to residents, cooking meals, to help with collecting and sorting donations, translating and to provide 24/7 support.

We also have volunteers who help on an ad-hoc basis with collections and deliveries, administration in the office, extra support at Christmas with our Christmas event.

Encompass could not deliver the services it does without the support of its volunteers. The contribution of volunteers is not included in the financial statements and it is not possible to attribute a true monetary value to the time and difference that they make.

Structure, Governance, and Management

Encompass is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered in England and Wales (no 1154210), first constituted with the Charity Commission on 15[th] October 2013, last amended 3[rd] May 2022. In 2022, the charity changed its name from East Northants Faith Group (ENFG) with a working name of East Northants Community Services (ENCS), to Encompass, with effect from 3[rd] May 2022. The constitution was updated to reflect the change of name and a change of the charitable objectives and was also approved by the Charity

Page 16 of 31

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Commission from this date. The working name of ENCS has been retained with the Charity Commission to allow a period of transition.

Trustee Recruitment and Induction

Vacancies for new Trustees are advertised locally and nationally. Potential new Trustees follow a selection process which includes being interviewed by fellow Trustees and an informal meeting with the CEO, as well as shadowing of a Board meeting, and an invitation to visit the charity’s services to meet staff and volunteers. New Trustees will be elected pending the successful selection process and the completion of subsequent documentation such as a DBS check, personal references, a self-disclosure form and a conflict-of-interest form. The charity’s Trustee Handbook describes the role and the duties of a Trustee, personal specifications, the code of conduct for the Trustee and governance policies on conflict of interest, persons with significant control, the recruitment of Trustees and the expenses policy.

Trustees are recruited to enhance the skillset of the Board. The performance and skillset of the Board is reviewed informally at the end of each Board meeting, and on an ongoing basis. A skills audit was completed in 2022 to identify gaps in expertise on the Board and to identify recruitment priorities. New Board Members joined towards the end of 2022 and early 2023 to meet these priority areas.

Structure

Whilst Trustees retain overall responsibility for the organisation, the day to day management of this is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, who reports to the whole Board on a monthly basis and meets regularly with the Chairman, Treasurer as well as other Board members informally. The CEO is supported by a Finance Manager and two Service Mangers (Homelessness and Addiction). These four roles comprise the Management Team and the Key management personnel reflected in the financial statements.

The CEO is responsible for implementing the decisions and policies, as well as the business plan and budgets that are approved by Trustees. The CEO and the senior managers have financial authority to approve expenditure up to a limit as outlined in the financial authority policy after which it must be approved by Trustees or, depending on the amount, the whole Board.

The Board of Trustees meet 9 months of the year, with the CEO in attendance but not voting on the decisions taken. The Board also conducts extra meetings as needed if there is a particular issue requiring a decision or action. The Chairman meets with the CEO on at least a monthly basis, often more regularly, and the Treasurer also meets with the Finance Manager and CEO, on average on a monthly basis. At present the charity does not have any subcommittees or task and finish groups.

Remuneration

The remuneration of key management personnel, and the rest of the employed staff, is determined on an annual basis during the budget setting period for the following year. The recommendation for pay is provided by the Treasurer and Chairman and agreed by the rest of the Board. Consideration is given to the minimum wage, national living wage and industry and geographical comparisons when setting salaries as well as consideration to charity finances. Trustees are not remunerated but may claim expenses for travel.

ENCOMPASS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2022

Chairman’s Report

2022 was, for most people, a year of horrendous fuel price increases and, as I write this, there is no sign of a downturn. There was, and still is, a massive impact on people’s ability to stay warm and eat sensibly. Wages didn’t keep up with the ongoing increases in the cost of living and, for many, the only solution was the local foodbank.

Statistics elsewhere will identify both the number of new beneficiaries we had and also the increase in the frequency of their visits to our outlets. At the same time those kind people who have regularly supported us with regular food donations are finding it more difficult to continue and, as a result, we are having to purchase more than we had anticipated, which, in turn impacts on our finances. We have also expanded our foodbank outlets, with the opening of a new foodbank in Higham Ferrers.

Our change of name from East Northants Faith Group (operating as East Northants Community Services ) to Encompass has made life simpler for everyone. The new name has been well received and is certainly much easier to remember!

During 2022 we were able to strengthen our management team and make changes which have led to us being more user led and person centred. Our relocation to Church Street has enabled us to have other agencies on-site , giving a more holistic approach to the services provided for our beneficiaries and making them as accessible as possible.

Our Trustee team has seen changes; 2022 saw us welcome Kathy Franklin as our safe guarding trustee and Chloe Cooper as our new legal trustee and at the end of the year, we said a sad good bye to our treasurer, Amanda Maura, who has moved to another part of the country. We also started the very thorough process of bringing in three new trustees, Martin Coles (now our treasurer), Cheryl Lewis and Jennie Bone, all of whom (as I write) are now very much part of our trustee board.

I would like to place on record my sincere thanks to all our staff, volunteers and trustees for the hard work and enthusiasm they have put into our various projects throughout 2022, hopefully enabling our beneficiaries to have real improvements in their lives.

This report was presented and approved at a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on the 15[th] August 2023.

ENCOMPASS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022 PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2022

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Public benefit entity

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and that the amount can be measured reliably.

Grants are brought into account on a receivable basis.

Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which it has been received. Income is also deferred in the event that a donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement or where the amount cannot be accurately measured.

Fund accounting

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, when it is probable that the payment will be required and that the obligation can be reliably measured. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is stated inclusive of value added tax.

Page 24 of 31

ENCOMPASS STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] DECEMBER 2022 PRINCIPLE ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Allocation of support costs

Resources expended are allocated to a particular activity where the cost relates directly to that project. The cost of overall direction and administration of each activity consists of salary and overhead costs for the central function. This is apportioned on the following basis which is an estimate based on staff time and the amount attributable to each activity.

The method of allocation for support costs was updated in 2022 and as such the notes to the accounts may not be completely comparable with the previous year.

Operating leases

Where applicable, rental charges are charged on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Fixed assets

Depreciation costs are allocated to activities on the basis of the use of the related assets in those activities.

Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write down the cost of each asset to its estimated residual value over its expected useful life. The depreciation rates in use are as follows: Fixtures and fittings - 25% reducing balance basis. Short Life Assets - over 2 years Motor Vehicles - over 5 years

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any discounts due.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes all cash and cash card equivalents.

Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any discounts due.

Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value, with the exception of bank loans, which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Gifts in Kind and Intangible Income

Intangible income, in the form of donated food, facilities and other items donated for use in our charitable activities etc. is included in the financial statements. Where goods and services are provided to the charity as a donation that would otherwise be purchased by the charity, this contribution is included in the financial statements as an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity. Donated goods that are used for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised in both income and expenditure at the point that the goods are distributed and are calculated at market value.
