l. Board & Chief Officer Changes- all three charftles
In Sept¢mber 2021 our Chief Officer, Andrew Waites, resigned to pursue other
opportunities, and we were delighted to appoint Reb￿ca Blues as a new Chief Officer,
at the beginning of November 2021.
For various unrelated reasons the charity's then Cbair, Vice Chair and Treasurer
resigned at the 2021 Annual General Meeting orl 19 Octob¢r 2021. Other trustees
have a]so resigned during the year due to external pressures preventing them from
devoting time to the needs of the cbarity.

Rebecca Blues Chief Officer, new and remaining tn￿l¢eS hav¢ all be¢n tsking
an active role in the work of the charities.

operntional projects and slaffing are all in train, with different t￿￿teeS in working

2. SustaiDabllity - Ryedale
The charity seeks to operate in as sustainable a way as its resources allow.
Working practices have been reviewed to improv¢ efficiency and minimise
resource usage.
The amount of carbon saved by reusing goods is estimated to be 134 tonnes.
However, in our operdtlODS we necessarily create carbon emissions. Diesel van
usage is controlled by making sure that collections and deliverics are organised
in the most etTicacious way. Vehicles are regularly maintained and driving
habits are monitored via online tracking systems that record driver behaviour.
We will move lo electric or hybrid vehicles as soon as possible.
Our premises are rented and it is not possible to make physical changes to
them, unless the landlord so wishes, so utility usage is higher than we would
like. Our two warehouse units are large and take a great deal of heating to
maintain staff, work placements and customer comfort. Consideration has
been given to various usage reduction m¢asures and we will continue to seek
ways to reduce our climate impact. The property market in Scarborough and
elsewhere on the coast is monitored for opportunities.
Ftnancially, to be sustainable we rely on a high level of sales of goods and
some grant funding for our workshop and other projects. We would ideally
like to purchase suitable freehold premises to improve financial sustainability
by, reducing significant outEoings on rents. etc.
The charity has demonstfdted ￿eat resilience. surviving financially and is starting
2022123 operations with a reasonable financial oudook. Our reserves are low against
the target we set ourselves, but through sustsined focused efforts we have been
successful in achieving significant grant income. maintaining and growing our trading
activities. The charity is considered a'going Concern" by th¢ trustees.
3. Organisatlonal ehanges- all three eharities
The 2021122 year h&8 seen extremely significant changes in staffing and organisationa]
structure, made against a background of operational difficulties arising from the
recovery froln the Covid pandemic. which restricteAI opening hours and capacity to
work safely. It also affected trading income and activities in a.way which represented
an existential threaL
Our new Chief Officer, quickly identified ongoiDg issues that meant that the charity
was not functioning as well as it could and the trustees agreed to a staffing restructure.
which regrettably included some voluntary redunthcies.
The Chief OtTicer, who leads the thrcc Community Furniture Store charities in YorL
Selby and Scarborough is supported by a full time Group Operations Manager and part-

time Head of Projecls, Marketing & AdmiTJistration Assistant and a Group FinanL
Manager, all of whom work to support the three charities.
The Ryedale charity's stsff is led by an Operations Manager managing tbe collection
and delivery service as well as the warehouse and retail outlet. A Workshop Supervisor
reports to ihe Operations Manager and oversees the workshop service.
The board of trustres are keen to see the work done in Scarborough expanded and
we envisage a second van operating up and down the coast in the immediate futur¢.
with the potential for ￿0￿Up. shops further along the timelin¢.
4. Performance and Impact - Ryedale
> Re-use v Recycling
It is important to stress the position of reuse compared to recycling and other waste
management systems when estimating the impact on the environrnent. The '%vaste

environment. It gives top priority to preventing waste in the first place. When waste is
created, it gives priority to preparing it for re-use, then r¢cycling. th¢n recovcry, and

> People in Need
Customers with proof of low income have continued to qualify for a 30%
reduction off the prices charged-to the general public for reused goods. We have
extended the discount to recently arrived refugees and migrants referred to us
by other agencies. During the year 1.507 items went to people that qualify for

the 30% discount, out of a total of 3,896 reused items. 39% of all reused goods.
saving the recipients £17,950 compared to the full price. We also recognized the
needs of refugees and other migrants who do not qualify for means tested
benefits straight away and included those referred to us by relevant agencies in
the discount scheme.
D came to us as a Wellbeing self-referral as they were struggling with mental health issues
after a protratted pefiod of unemployment. Although a capable and intelligent individual. D
experienced periods of extreme social anxiety and depression that prevented them from
leaving their home or interacting with family.
Having a space that allowed them to make use of their existing high skill set but was accepting
of their intermittent periods of illness, gave D a boost in confidence and has helped them to
manage their depression. which was often a result of the negativity around their anxiety.
The change in Workshop Supervisor proved to D that they can manage the issues around
change that they previously couldn't handle: because of this D has taken on a part time paid
role, spread their voluntary time across three new charities, and says they .
..now have the
toolkit to cope"
> Environmental Impact - Ryedale
In total the estimated weight of all reused goods prevented from being declared
waste and destroyed amounted to 126 tonnes. This equates to Saving 134 tonnes
of carbon en)issions.
(G)Financi21 Review - Ryedale
Total income from charitable activtties in 2021r22 £130.897, an increase of
£60.000 on the previous Covid impacted yearand £48.000 bett¢r than pre-covid trading
which generated £92.569 in 2018119. This success reflects a significant increase ID
activity both in the sale of donated items and in workshop activity. The forecast trading
sU￿lUS on sal¢ of goods in 2021122 was set at £99.471 and the 5Utplus achieved was
£113.435. Otber operational income totalled £4,638 and grdnts totsling £59,548 were
atefvlly received. Total income from all sources amounted to £190,450. Total
expenditure was £176,274 compared to £150,967 in 2020121 and was sllghtly in excess
of a forecast of £170,767. The increase in costs can be attributed to an increase in
statying levels due to incrw¢d d¢mand for s¢rvic¢s. Th¢ charity bas shown a financial
surplus of £14,026 during the year, primarily because of grant funding and increased
trading. The charity remains reliant on some grdnt funding each year towards
development costs and workshop wages.

There are risks and oppominities awaiting all thr¢e charities. The following are
arnong the main issues being actively addressed:
l. The creation of North Yorkshire Council and removal of District Councils arjd
the putative creation of a combined York & North Yorkshire Authority means
great changes in the way we are able to internct with some services (e.g. social
services, housing departments).
2. The ability of the charity to properly reward our staff, without further increasing
prices charged to people in need.
3. Managing costly resources effectively and improving sustainable use of staff,
vehicles and premises.
4. Collecting suificient donated itans of furniture etc., to allow us to meet the
growing and urgent needs of people in furniture poverty.

would strengthen our abilities to reach more people and communities.

geographical spread.

project by repairing white goods etc., and placing them back into use.
8. The expansion of access to an affordable supply of household goods across all
locations, but especially in Scarborough where we have already identified a great
need up and down the Yorkshire Coast.

The charity operates a retail Gift Aid scheme whereby it administers the sale of fiwniture on
behalf of members of the public, who then donate the proceeds to the chaTity. enabling it
laim a lax credit. While this is legally eonsidered io be a cash donation, in economic subslancc
il is similar to a trading activity. and therefore both th¢ 5a1¢ proceed8 and the thx credit are
included wiihin "inwme from ¢haritabl¢ activities-.
The SORP requirt% that donated goods should be measured at fair value. The ch￿lty has taken
advantsge of tbe exemption in tbe SORP which allows this treatment not to be adopted if IT As
