In 2022 the income from the café and scrapslore was £78.149 but thbs has risen lo £123,710 in 2023 {1581k> l. The café and scrapstore have become valued in the local ccffnmunty with lols of regular customers and groups. Our staffing numbers have increased from an average monthly head count of 18 in 2022 to 22 in 2023. The most pleasing element of our recruitment in 2023 is that have appointed two of our trainees to work part- time in the café kitchen and we are looking to increase the number of paid trainees in 2024. In March 2023 Steve Kibby who sharèd the CEO role resigned and now Ken Comber is the sole CEO124 hours per weekl. We now h2ve an organisalional structure that is deliberately light on management roles and a very high proportion of staff working diredly wth our trainees. As stated in the 2022 Trustees report (Mjr finanaal bustness mod81 introJuced in 2021 is financially viable and sustainable. Trainee income plus income form the café and Scrapst￿e is sufficient lo cover our nomal operating costs, etc. This means we are no IC￿ger as relh?nt on donations and grants to fund our co 8Ctivities and where opportunities for additional funding exist or donations a￿ received, we are using these to increase our impact and expand our wogramme.

Plans for the future Over the nexi 3 years we will continue to do More to supp(xl Ihe wellbeiro. independent living and employmenl opportunities of people with leaming disabilities and aulism in Somerset and Dorset. Our ambition is still to have a second faulty dedicated to independent living skills. Whilst seeking fijnding we will continue lo develop our wogramme to enhan￿ indyndent living skills at the Hub. We ae very keen to support trainees and their families with the Iransition into irKlependent living, wh￿h often can be a difficult lime for all involved. The additional facility is becomiry more as we get closer lo the caparty of our premises and demand for our services is not diminishing.

This will indude increasing paNJ V￿rk opportunities for Irain985 at the Hub. In addition. w8 will pilot new ways of delivering work skills for trainees, for example, developing programmes using and expanding our digital facilities.

This wll give us the opportunity to consult wth our peers and learn from those organisations who have been successful in establishing employment opportunit￿. Another goal will be to continue to expand our SUPF(¥i for parentslcarers. to help them understand and access the serwces they need and build long lasting trusting relationships.

The Hub-yeovil Community Support Charfty Trustee Directors. Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2023 Policy on reserves This policy exists lo describe The Hub's approach to managing its cash reserves. Our prlnciples • We need reserves so that rf we're not hitting r)UT financial tsrgets. we have enoljgh lime lo make and implement a corrective ￿an thal's not under undue financial pressure. we believe this should be based around a 6-monlh timeframe. It's very unlikely that due lo our commercial m(xlel that all revenue woukl drop dramaticalty month lo month and for that reason we do not believe that our reserves Fdicy needs to woth on the basis of 3 or 6 months full costs - instead working lo a modelled 6-month worst case income scenario. We will review the reserve amount at least annualty or at any time there's a svJnificant change in the business. Our scale and operats'ng cost$ al any given time wll affect the appropriate level of reserves we should have. Ourapproach When deciding our level of reseprfes. we've used model based on the analysis below.. December is typically the worst month for financial perf￿. We've used historic data to estimate likely worsl-case losses in thi8 month. Where nO￿D￿mber loss making months have occurred the recent worst case is an £8k k￿S we feel this is representative of a likely worse case for all months except Decernber. If we were lo have 5 loss making months in the run up to a Ioss-making t)ecember this 6 month period would see a k)ss of £55k. We consider this exlremefy unlikely. The Hub is on a fimer financial footing but remains vulnerable lo short tem ups and downs in our revenue. We belteve setting the reserve level above the wor5t-case m(thl is prudent at this time. For our 23124 finanoal year the reserve amount sPM)uld be £75,000 Principal funding sources The pnncipal funding sources the Charity are currently by way of skills devdopment training paid via direct payments. commissioned Servi￿ by the LorAI Authority or sew-funders. This is supplemented by income from the Hub's café and ￿rapst￿e. In addition, the Charity receives funding via grants and donations. Major risks and managèment of those risks The Charity's main source of income is fees from trainees. The Local Authorities set up a daily rate for day services and this amount is charged lo the indiwdual dependent upon fK)w many days they attend the Hub each month. If the Local Authorrty reduces the daily rale day services or Changes it policylrnethodology. this is a risk to the Charity. It is, however. pleasing io note that in April 2024 S(Mnerset Counal increased the day rate by 3.2%. To mitigate this risk Ihe Charty wants to become less reliant on Local Authoiity income aThY plans to continue lo in¢rease other sources of income such as grant funding and cafe and s(xapstore income.
