Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland exists to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of Christian-based charities in the furtherance of their objects, and the relief of hardship, through the provision of grants, goods / services, information, advice and support. Its geographical area of operation consists of the two unitary authorities of Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.
Most of the practical work of Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland is achieved through the activity of its officers, continuing in general the pattern of the previous years, collaborating with civic and statutory authorities, other charities and the voluntary sector. The website https://togethermc.org.uk includes further information and regularly updated newsletters.
Public benefit
The Charity's aims and achievements are set out within this report. The activities set out in this report have been undertaken to further the Charity's charitable purposes for public benefit. The Trustees have complied with the duty under Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission and the Trustees have be due regard to this guidance in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
In 2023, with the country and community remaining in the grip of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, local need remained high. The continued roll-out of mental health awareness training, to local clergy and their communities, contributed to addressing the mental health needs identified by Together Middlesbrough and Cleveland's (TMC's) pandemic impact work.
In 2023 a new intergenerational project was launched to reduce loneliness and isolation, accompanied by an Intergenerational Practice training course developed by TMC and delivered to professionals and volunteers.
Financial review
Financial position
Core funding of £75k for 3 years to 2024 from the National Lottery Community Fund was secured at the end of 2021, notwithstanding this, the grant funding environment remains challenging as we move from the pandemic to the cost of living crisis meeting the charity's core expenses on an ongoing basis remains a priority for the board to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of services being delivered.
Investment powers and policy
The Trustees continue to hold the financial assets of the charity as readily available cash.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Reserves policy
The Trustees have reviewed the charity's needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission and have agreed that financial reserves (the 'Emergency Operating Reserve', EOR) should be held. It has no endowment funding and is entirely dependent on income from year to year, including a significant element of voluntary donations, which is inevitably subject to fluctuation.
Much of the charity's work is project-funded through Restricted income, and wherever possible a proportion is agreed to support the central management function. TMC takes care to be able to continue operating in case of damaging events or unforeseen circumstances which are outside the normal budgeting process.
Part of the charity's ongoing financial strategy is to maintain a group of Champions in the wider area, who undertake to be committed to encouraging donations. In 2023, the level of donations continued to recover to pre-pandemic levels.
Due to rising costs across all aspects of the organisation, the target level for EOR has been reviewed in-year and reset at six months' operating costs, a sum of approximately £70,000. At the end of 2023 the unrestricted reserves or EOR sits at £78,316, or just under seven months operating costs.
The restricted reserves held as at 31 December 2023 is £93,009 (2022: £47,099).
Future plans
The longer-term strategy focuses on optimising training services, nurturing key partnerships, and continuing exploration of social housing/housing support, to reduce reliance on grants and ad hoc donations and increase sustainability.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a company limited by guarantee as defined by the Companies Act 2006. It was formed on 30 August 2014 to continue activities of a similar nature previously managed by the Church Urban Fund in conjunction with a local committee and commenced operations on 8 May 2015.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Appointment to the Board of Trustees is by appointment of the Members, the Trustees taking up their places on dates specified in each case. Following the disaggregation from CUF on 27 January 2021, the Memorandum & Articles governing document was amended to reflect this and to change the makeup of the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees continues to consist of nine persons. Following the disaggregation, only one Trustee is now appointed by CUF (previously five); a further one by the York Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd (previously four); and the remaining seven Trustees are appointed from the local area by the Board.
The policy of the Members and Trustees is to ensure firstly that the Trustees collectively possess appropriate skills and experience for the efficient operation of the charity, with an aspiration that ecumenical collaboration and diversity can also be a distinctive feature of its governance.
2023 has seen a number of changes and new appointments in line with that policy. Resignations have been largely related to family circumstances, with congratulations going to Chris Cooke who had to stand down following his election as Mayor of Middlesbrough.
Organisational structure
The chair is the Right Reverend Paul Ferguson. For the period of this report, each officer was line managed by the Chief Officer who in turn reported to the Chair. During this period the Treasurer function was initially carried out by Mr John Hinman (Trustee and Vice Chair) and for the majority of the year by the Reverend Adam Gaunt (Trustee and Treasurer).
Induction and training of new trustees
Induction of new trustees is provided through discussion with the chair, existing Trustees and officers of the charity.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Together Middlesbrough And Cleveland
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Together Middlesbrough And Cleveland ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
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.
