OUR AIM AND OBJECTIVES
Purposes and aims
To reconnect ex-offenders with their communities by increasing their stability, self-confidence, employment and housing opportunities, ultimately ending the cycle of re-offending.
-
To reduce the factors that lead to offending such as poverty, social exclusion and homelessness
-
To improve beneficiaries' social and living skills
-
To provide the stable environment needed for ex-offenders to integration back into the community
-
To increase beneficiaries' access to skills training and employment.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We review our aims, outcomes and objectives regularly by utilising frameworks from the Charities Evaluation Services (CES) to evaluate and monitor our working practices. The nature of our client base means our work is fast moving and oftentimes volatile; therefore we implement a rigorous risk assessment procedure. Using this, we can manage our ability to successfully deliver the services to those we are set up to help. We stay engaged with changing social policy and liaise with local and national governmental services, ensuring we have access to the most up to information when conducting reviews.
This review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought over the past 12 months to our target service users and wider public to whom we have a duty of care. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities.
The focus of our work
Our main objectives for the year continued to be the provision of resettlement support to assist reintegration of offenders into society. The strategies we used to meet these objectives included:
-
Primarily providing accommodation as well as a range of support services responsive to the needs of offenders and reflective of relevant social care and community standards.
-
Limiting the risk of reoffending and the minimising the harm of destructive behaviour patterns for homeless offenders and the wider London Community.
-
Improving our knowledge and application of national standards of service and working towards the implementation of the National Occupational Standards.
-
Partnering with statutory and local community agencies, particularly the National Probation Services (NPS), The London Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRC), Local Authorities and the Police, Social Services, Home Office to secure referrals and improve the range of support services for service users.
Public Beneft Statement
Our main activities focus on the rehabilitation of homeless People on Probation toward healthy, socially responsible and self-sufficient lifestyles. All activities listed below are undertaken to progress our charitable purposes for the public benefit.
Report of the board of trustees
Over the past year ARK Resettlement Services (ARKRS) has had the opportunity to use the funding provided by the John Armitage Charitable Trust and Haringey Council, Enfield Council, Community Fund, Tudor Trust, Lloyds Bank Foundation and City Bridge Trust to work with ex-offenders to support and gain employment within their chosen sectors.
We had an increase in the number of our service users entering either education, training or employment. Service users have entered apprenticeships, job placement and university, for example Canturbury Universtity. 6 service users have successful moved onto private sector renting.
Digital Inclusion for service users: Ark has applied for laptops for these service users to enable them to be supported at our community hub where our servive users are able to come and develop their IT skills and also use local authorise my online services. Various service users have been supported to get into the voluntary sector and employment. Ark has provided transport to and from training and employment.
Ark continues to prioritise a holistic approach when working with service users with staff ensuring that service users access universal health care. Ark has supported service users to improve their physical and mental wellbeing by accessing the local gym through the GP referral process and also encouraging our service user to part take the social prescribing option available through their GP.
Challenges faced by the Ark due to Covid-19 Pandemic
This year has been challenging for service users, Ark staff members and all those who interact with the organisation. The pandemic had added to the feeling of exclusion from society, increased a sense of social anxiety and has been a troubling time in terms of sustaining mental health and wellbeing for many. As we approach the post pandemic era we have adapted allowing to utilise hybride module.
Adaptability has been key to keeping consistency within the charity. We have been managing the number of assessments and interviews in perso. Keeping productivity of Ark services and keeping service users safe while also making sure we give enough attention to each individual.
We are still incorporating various forms of technology to communicate to service users: Zoom, Teams, FaceTime, video conferencing. Daily/weekly contact using technology or physical visits adhering to social distancing precautions. Service users who require 1 to 1 visits to the office come to the office at a scheduled appointment, one at a time.
Maintaining constant supply of PPE for staff and service users as their come into the office or for site visits to properties.
- Ark has constantly adapted to the central government direction and we have managed to abide by those changes both in the office space and also during one to one sessions and property visits.
Ark has seen an increase in referrals from young adults who have been charged with knife related offences and/or gang related activity, this is as a result of the changes to the sentences for knife related offences and gang offences. Changes to the criteria by other providers have also contributed to the increase in referral, many organisations no longer accept ex-offenders with intent to supply convictions. Many of the service users also have low confidence, low self-esteem and low resilience levels which can prove challenging for service users when in meetings with authority figures, this does require Ark staff to have sophisticated skills in conflict resolution.
Ark is increasingly having to provide additional funding to service users who may not have enough income to cover all their debts and provide money for food. Lack of money prevents service users from accessing the gym after they have completed the 3 months GP referral, this can cause a relapse in mental ill health. The increasing service user waiting list presents Ark with the challenge of finding suitable accommodation to house servicers, the accommodation has to be fit for purpose and have a landlord who is sympathetic to the needs of Ark service users. Finding suitable staff with the right skills is difficult resulting in Ark having to train staff to ensure that they have the appropriate skills to work with the service users at Ark.
Managing Risk
The nature of our service user group requires sensitivity and discretion; therefore, we work closely with organisations to manage risk. Clients include those managed under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and Integrated Offender Management (IOM) clients. Their suitability for our services is assessed using a three-stage process which helps to mitigate risks associated with those with offending histories.
In order to be considered, referring agency must submit a comprehensive referrals form. If the service user is deemed eligible an initial assessment is completed, then they are invited to an interview with a resettlement officers. The final decision is made by an internal review panel consisting of the director, operations manager and support staff.
Whilst we promote social integration and public acceptance of rehabilitated offenders we still understand the need to manage the risk to themselves and to the public. Information regarding the offender’s
progress is shared with Probation staff through monthly three way meetings, regularly at IOM Panel/MAPPA, GANGS meetings, attended by police and probation services.
MAIN ACTIVITIES
The main areas of our charitable work include the provision of housing, 1:1 support session, signposting to training and educational services, and advice and information. Support is delivered via our drop-in centres, floating support, supported housing services. We provide support, establishing the recovery support plan and crisis-relapse intervention, and medication management including monitoring self-medication.
Housing
We acquired 2 properties, which has provided shared accommodation for our service users. Housing is provided for a 6 – 24-month term, after which service users are supported to gain independent accommodation.
In the past year we have supported 282 service users through the Ark programme, received over 203 referrals including our service Community Transition Outreach Project. ARKRS housed 41 service users in 2021. Each accommodation unit is reviewed for health and safety checks and comes with essential goods for living. The service users are encouraged to live socially and share responsibilities regarding the upkeep to communal areas to help them learn the basic social and living skills. We hold House meetings to discuss issues affecting the house such as relationships with other residents, communal areas, roles and activities such as service user engagement activities.
Moving Forward Project
The Moving Forward Project is a co-comissioning between National Probation Service (NPS), London Borough of Haringey and Ark. This service is in it’s second year grow from streath to streath with all of our 25 bed spaces fully occupied.
Criminal Justice Floating Support
Once clients have moved on, we provide 3 months’ floating support so that they are not left to cope completely alone. We give them the stability and support they need to settle in their new home.
Outreach
We have a new and improved dedicated website where we provide information about our services. We also are also curating information to support a blog to update the public on the benefits of our work. Volunteers
provide invaluable support for our service users. They have contributed around 500 hours of work, shadowing resettlement officers, providing admin support, contributing to support sessions. Volunteer roles include helping to manage referrals, organising and taking notes for interviews and support plan meetings, and assisting service users with everyday that come up.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity has spent the past year creating relationships with other organisations and establishing our working practices. We are working to distribute our financial resources effectively and have invested in staff compared to the previous year. The contributions of volunteers and support staff throughout the year as enabled us to develop our services, helping to generate a positive financial outcome for the period.
We received funding from The John Armitage Charitable Trust and Haringey Council, Enfield Council, Community Fund, Lloyds Bank Foundation, City Bridge Trust,The Mayors Office of Policing and Clinks Covid-19 Response. Moving forward we will actively pursue fundraising opportunities to enable us to increase our resources, particularly the addition of in house financial management and staff with social care/housing management experience. Ark is working with a Senior Fundraising Advisor to help tailor fundraising needs and activate potential funding resources.
The financial report is in accordance with the special provisions relating to small companies, and section 476 of the Companies Act 2006, subsequently is not required to be audited.
Principal funding
The principal funding sources for the charity are solely from additional trading income. In order to be sustainable, the charity must seek funding from other agencies, utilising the advice from other charitable organisations as well as the fundraising advisor to identify funding for the future. We are working on a fundraising strategy document to focus our needs and in turn improve our funding opportunities.
Investment policy
The charity is still developing a solid board of trustees; therefore, we do not currently have a definitive investment policy. Decisions regarding investment are in development, and will remain a priority moving forward.
Reserves policy
The management committee have now established a policy for undesignated, unrestricted funds. We are aware of the industry advice of
2% reserves to mitigate risks to the organisation. We are confident that since it’s implementation, we will be able to meet the working capital requirements of the charity in the event of significant reductions in funding. Ideally the strategy will be to continue to build reserves over the next 3 – 5 years with the view to reinvest any operating surpluses into vital resources. As a growing enterprise we have been careful to regulate existing expenditure and curtail unnecessary expenses which have put us on a positive trajectory moving forward.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Plans are being developed to work on broadening our income spectrum by exploring funding opportunities which will help to strengthen our outreach initiatives and invest in move on support. We are developing a strong Board of Trustees with additional members who will bring other areas of expertise (i.e. Legal, finance) to the table to ensure the Board of Trustees has a wide skillset to offer the staff members. The Board of Trustees are separate from the staff team and can offer guidance in key areas, help with fundraising efforts, and oversee the smooth operation of the organisation. Improving relationships with landlords is key to our growth and success, so we will need to establish new relationships with landlords to securing further accommodation. As we grow, we aim to develop services for Mental Health Service and build partnerships with other agencies.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 24[th] December 2013. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the charity being dissolved or winding up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and appointment of management committee
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s Articles are known as members of the Management Committee.
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a
period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
Mr Andrew Linton, Ms Helena Sutcliffe, Mr G Stowe, Mr Martin Ford, Mr Paul Wallance, Ms Jan Jenkins and Ms Moinika Rese retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
Membership is open to individuals or organisations who can help to progress and support the work of the charity. Due to the nature of our client base, much of our work is done with male offenders, particularly those of a younger demographic. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, the charity utilises support from Bridge Renewal trust and is networking with local organisations who can bring their experience and knowledge to the charity.
The management committee seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are reflected through the diversity and experience of the trustee body. The membership committee is formed of key professionals within the Haringey social service sector. We have actively sought to involve service users in the membership committee, and we pursue suitable members accordingly.
All members of the Management Committee give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Expenses incurred as part of their charitable activities are reimbursed.
We currently distribute the information provided by the Charity Commission, but we would like to adapt this to our own practices, to include:
-
The obligations of Management Committee members.
-
The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles.
-
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts.
-
Future plans and objectives.
This will be distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements.
Risk Management
Risk management is a key factor in the organisation. Members of the management committee conduct stringent reviews of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. This can come from the services users and their affiliates, therefore a quarterly risk assessment is made regarding all service users and updated accordingly.
The Management Committee has also conducted a review of the major risks associated with the charity operations such as funding and resources. Risk management tools have been developed and are updated regularly. We will work to improve our risk management procedures, and formalise a risk register. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the properties and to the main office. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
Organisational Structure
Ark Resettlement Services has a Management Committee of up to 7 members who meet quarterly with occasional extraordinary meetings and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. At present the Committee has five members including the directors, from a variety of professional backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.
The Secretary also sits on the Committee but has no voting rights.
As per the memorandum and articles of association, the director may delegate any of their powers to a committee of two or more directors. The director and director of operations have the day to day responsibility for the provision of services of the charity. The director is responsible for overseeing the delivery of the objects and that key performance indicators are met. The director of operations liaises with allied organisations and has responsibility for the day to day management of the charity. Key to the role is monitoring the overall progress of the staff, and providing opportunities for staff training and development to ensure that good working practices are met.
Related Parties
The charity ensures that it is kept abreast of local and national policy complimentary to its objects. At national level offender rehabilitation is spearheaded the Ministry of Justice National probation service (NPS), and other statutory bodies. The charity has also made links with organisations that deal with the many issues that offenders may suffer from including, drug abuse, alcohol dependency, and poor mental health. We have engaged with the Westminster drug project who offer referrals. We regularly liaise with the Bridge Renewal Trust who offer services to support for growing charity organisations. These relationships have proved to be invaluable to the charity in establishing improved links within the community and identifying relevant policy developments and prospective funding.

Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
