## **CEO Report For The Year Ended 31st March 2022**
Gatehouse as a whole has flourished during Covid, as the need for our services became more in demand than ever, our staff and volunteers showed immense resilience and strength to continue to provide services.
The Foodbank has continued to remain a key part of our services, we have looked at innovative ways to help those in need, who are having to look for support for the first time. Opening a 'mini supermarket' for those who need help but do not want 'handouts '. We work with Supermarkets to redistribute 'still good food' that has passed its date but still nutritious and useable. Partnering with businesses to redistribute excess stock which they have been left with during lockdowns etc.
The Furniture Store had been constantly busy, and turnover of reuse goods has doubled in the last year, we have taken on extra staff and often have 2 vans operating to cope with demand. We continue to work with councils and housing providers to furnish those moving into new properties with limited funds and as we moved into 22-23 this is expected to increase as new funding streams are established.
The Community Hub is now back open, and we have held our first sessions in Yoga, Health checks and look to increase these 'health related' services more in 22-23.
The Christmas Project - this year we were once again able to hold our Big Christmas day lunch, it was lovely to welcome people back in again. Although there were some restrictions still in place for 2021 we still managed to serve 100 people who otherwise would have been alone, some of these people had not left their house in over 12 months, so were apprehensive at first but the lunch was very much enjoyed by all.
The charity as a whole has managed to keep its head above water financially, however as the covid support reduces and we move into 22-23 we expect demand to continue to increase and donations to reduce. A recession is on the horizon and Gatehouse needs to prepare for not only the impact on our clients but also the impact on the Charities sustainability.
I would like to thank all those that are able to continue to support us and also to thank the great team of staff and volunteers that make the charity what it is today and in whom I have every confidence can embrace the challenge of the year ahead.

- To relieve financial hardship in East Anglia by :-

b) The provision of food aid.
- To protect and preserve the environment for the public benefit by promoting the re-use and recycling of furniture, clothing and other household items.

- Nothing in the CIO's constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for purposes which are not charitable.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Going concern and Covid-19**
The last twelve months have been extremely challenging for those we support, our funders, our wider stakeholders and the Charity itself. The impact of Covid-19 and the escalating 'cost of living crisis' has hit particularly hard the vulnerable in our local community who rely on the services we provide. Mirroring the situation across the Country we have seen an unprecedented increase in the numbers using the Charity over the last 12 months.
In 2021-2022 both the Pandemic and the economic situation placed significant restrictions on the Charity and required us to take difficult decisions about how we most effectively help those needing our support: We have also had to address the reduction in annual 'block funding' from statutory bodies as they began to refocus their financial arrangements and activities.
By the end of March 2022 our core established activities, namely the Food Bank in its various forms, the Home Store (which remains the largest single contributor to our income) remain the bedrock of what we do. However, we now have a wider and more diverse portfolio of services with different funding arrangements, an increasing emphasis on mental health and well-being, and that are often more contractual, time limited and come with specific performance related outcomes.
The Charity has also been asked to facilitate or run crisis intervention programmes and services such as Covid Vaccination programme for 'hard to reach' members of our community: We have begun to 'host' organisations that fit with or compliment the ethos of our Charity which is a useful additional source of income.
Despite the pressures and demands on the Charity we are able to enter the New Year in a financially sound position. In 2021-2022 we implemented a new Reserves Policy based on Charity Commission guidance. In 2022-2023 we will require to purchase a replacement vehicle for the Home Store whilst anticipating maintenance costs on our building which will be met from an element of those reserves.
Taking the above actions into consideration the Trustees believe that Gatehouse Caring in East Anglia CIO is still a going concern and the financial statements have been prepared accordingly.
Finally, I and my fellow Trustees wish to express our thanks to our Chief Executive, her staff, volunteers and wider supporters for their outstanding work and commitment over the last twelve months ensuring that the Charity remains relevant and accessible to the vulnerable in our community.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Gatehouse Caring in East Anglia**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Gatehouse Caring in East Anglia ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31st March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees 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 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales 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:
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 applicable 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.

## **DESCRIPTION OF RESTRICTED FUNDS**
## **Bury Day Centre**
The Day Centre provided a day of Social Interaction and activities planned to suit individual ability and need. The activities of the Day Centre have been moved to the Community Hub.
## **Furniture**
Second hand furniture and other items are donated to the Charity and then given to its clients who are referred by Social Services, the furniture is not priced and the Charity regards payment for items as donations. Those donating items are also encouraged to give a monetary donation. The Charity owns a van, and employs staff to collect and deliver the furniture.
## **Foodbank and Christmas Project**
Gatehouse is working in partnership with other organisations, Churches and individuals throughout Bury, supported by local County and Borough Councillors providing three days of emergency food to local peoples in crisis. The Charity organises a Christmas Day lunch to offer companionship to people who would otherwise be alone or unable to manage for themselves on Christmas Day, along with the distribution of Christmas hampers to disadvantaged people and families.

The building was originally funded by a National Lotteries Charity Fund grant to Gatehouse Caring in West Suffolk.
