OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Constitution, aims and objectives AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
C2C Social Action is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission:
-
To relieve the hardship caused to the community, to ex-offenders and their families caused by the cycle of poverty, disadvantage and offending behaviour
-
To promote the rehabilitation of ex-offenders of all ages in the local community, reducing the stigma and practical effects of offending behaviour on the ex-offender and the community
-
To advance the education and employment opportunities of ex-offenders, substance misusers and any other disadvantaged group
-
To promote restorative justice practices to reduce crime and increase community cohesion

We use an effective, integrated approach to avoiding unnecessary duplication of resources and to improve outcomes for our clients.
THE VISION

This has a huge impact on their lives, their children, wider families and local communities creating a safer, stronger Northamptonshire.

Our services are based in Northamptonshire and are accessible to young people, men and women at any stage in the criminal justice system.

-
Developing an organisational culture in which individuals learn from any mistakes made and where excellence and innovation are encouraged and rewarded.

and procedures designed to maintain our distinctive ethos and values. In our dealings with clients, we work with the Criminal Justice System, never against it, and are committed to working in partnership with statutory and third sector agencies organisations.
Significant activities In this year, our main achievements were as follows:
Following on from our work with women on probation, we identified a gap in services, where those finishing their orders were at risk of offending when their support ended. We have successfully obtained funding from Northamptonshire's Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC) enabling us to provide Navigators who support these women coming off licence.
We continued as a key partner in the innovative Mental Health Treatment Requirement (MHTR) service delivery project for women offenders in Northamptonshire and have been commissioned by NHS England to provide CSTR (Community Sentence Treatment Requirement) and Reconnect programmes for men and women in the Milton Keynes area. This has been an enormous success and has attracted a lot of interest. Our support worker provides holistic support, helping service users to address key life issues such as accommodation; education, training, and employment; health; drugs and alcohol; finance; benefits and debt; children and families; attitudes, thinking and behaviour. The contracts have been extended to March 2024.
Knife Angel Project - working in partnership C2C Social Action had successfully secured a visit by the National Monument against Violence and Aggression (the Knife Angel) for June 2020. However, it was then postponed due to Covid until May 2021, and again to May 2022, when it was warmly received by the whole county. C2C led the project, liaising with partners from across the county, from councils to police and schools, to local churches and interested charities and business. Special thanks go to Northamptonshire's Office of the Police Fire and Crime Commissioner who provided not only funding, but support in this project. A journalism programme, working with young people in the county, enabling them to share their stories of knife crime and violence, produced a series of podcasts that ran alongside the Knife Angel visit in 2022 and culminating in interviewing Stephen Mold, the Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
With the opening of the new male prison, Five Wells, in Wellingborough, in March 2022, we have been working with local voluntary agencies to provide integrated services for residents of the prison. This is ongoing.
During this period, we took the opportunity given to all by the government to take on a Kickstart apprentice. This scheme, aimed at young people on Universal credit, allowed us to provide part-time employment for 3 young people over a 6-month period, 2 of which we have retained and the other has subsequently found employment elsewhere.
Funding from Comic Relief allowed us to provide Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transsexual, Queer, Plus (LGBTQ+) training for all staff and work on developing our LGBTQ+ policy.
Funding for core costs from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) and Lloyds Bank Foundation, have allowed us to develop our Information Technology (IT), successfully achieving Information Assurance for Small and Medium Enterprises (IASME) and Cyber Essentials accreditation, as well as funding key personnel.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Public benefit
Trustees have regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and work closely with the Chief Executive to ensure that all interventions delivered are consistent with the organisation's charitable purposes:
Women's Services
C2C Women's Centres - C2C run the flagship Women's Centres in Northampton and Kettering, where vulnerable women can meet professionals in a safe space: their Probation Officer, Mental Health, drug/alcohol, support workers and other professionals come to meet them in our women only environment. The dedicated Women's Centre is a female only safe space which has a food and clothes bank, and showers available for the homeless and a place where staff can work with the women in a trauma informed holistic way.
Service users say:
o 'I've learnt to change my behaviour and life skills to improve my life.'
o 'I've started to behave, my mental health has started to settle down. I've now started to establish a routine.' o 'C2C has helped improve my life for the better, slowly but steadily encouraging me to learn new skills, improve my wellbeing and self-esteem and return to work. Thank you for helping me believe in myself.' o 'I've gained confidence and self-worth by coming into the centre.'
Community Orders - During this time C2C delivered community sentence treatment requirements on behalf of Bench CRC (previously probation), and as of June 2021 on behalf of St. Giles Trust, as an alternative to a custodial sentence, giving women a chance to address real life issues to reduce reoffending. C2C have worked with around 379 women throughout the year allowing them to maintain their relationships and activities in the community while complying with the court's sentence for their offence.
Community Payback - during the last year we were forced to scale back our community payback, due to the continuing restrictions around Covid 19, however this has recently been reinstated with the St. Giles Trust contract, primarily at our allotment.
Women's Support Group and Drop In - C2C operates a twice weekly, free, women only support group where support is available around benefits, housing, children, safety, money, debt, health and police or court involvement. A light buffet lunch is provided as well as activities and a listening ear. Trained staff and volunteers work alongside onsite specialist agencies to provide tailored support and advice there and then. Ongoing 1:1 support is provided according to need. Approximately 35 women access this service per week.
Language Cafe - C2C provide online English classes during term time to women, offering general wellbeing advice and an opportunity to develop their language skills.
Group Work - C2C deliver gender specific trauma-informed courses to women who may have experienced domestic abuse or other challenging experiences. Courses are held throughout the year and throughout the county, with weekly sessions for around 6 women at any one time.
Debt Mentoring - Working with CMA (Community Money Advice) C2C provides help those managing their way out of debt. We have worked with 15 people, with total debts of £225,000 written off for clients through debt relief orders.
C2C Sews delivers therapeutic sewing classes for service users. These classes have been running twice a week at both Northampton and Kettering and have produced handmade items that have been sold on our website. In December 2021, we received a substantial grant from The Worshipful Company of Weavers, that will allow us to continue to develop the project further in 2022 and 2023.
Kettering Women's Centre opened in September 2020 and has extended our ability to provide dedicated space for vulnerable females, in the north of the county. It provides a location for partners to operate from and extends the geographical area for the courses and other activities.

C2C SOCIAL ACTION REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Artists In Residence (AIR), funded by the Arts Council. After a successful trial project that finished in March 2019, the outputs and work developed by service users at the AIR sessions went on display at a local Northampton gallery in June 2019. This proved successful, and we have received funding to run the project again in 2020/21 for 12 months. However, this was initially delayed by Covid, and put on hold due to restrictions. Since April 2021, and after funding from the Arts Council, the artists have been running workshops in the Northampton Women's Centre and at the allotment with an exhibition and seminar taking place in June 2022.
Men's Services
Housing - C2C currently has two shared houses for men, accommodating 9 men, some of whom are 'Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements' (MAPPA) offenders, managed in partnership with Police and Probation Services and other key partners. C2C staff and volunteers work closely with occupants to help develop their skills, knowledge, and confidence to maintain a stable home and a structured, crime-free lifestyle. It can be exceedingly difficult for some offenders to access accommodation following their release from prison and therefore the offer of a room in a C2C house can make a significant difference for these men as they achieve new milestones in their journey from their offence.
Milton Keynes - NHS England have provided funding for a support worker to do court assessments for pre-sentence reports for those assessed as eligible for community sentences including MHTRs and CSTRs in Milton Keynes. These are commissioned services for both men and women. We also provide support for men and women leaving prison across the UK who are resettled in Milton Keynes area.
C2C Grows
Our gardening project has been developed to provide all service users with an opportunity to spend time outside, gardening. We have successfully developed an allotment consisting of 3 pitches, where the Artists in Residence project has provided workshops as well as service users learning horticultural skills and improving wellbeing. This space is available for all those involved in C2C, including staff and volunteers, who really benefit from the fresh air, and peaceful surroundings.
Service users say:
o 'I feel at peace here, and it reduces my anxiety and busy head.'
o 'Since coming to the allotment, I have noticed my mood improve and I now have something to look forward to.'
o 'I like the fresh air because I usually spend a lot of time indoors.'
Performance Monitoring

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Holistic measurement through Outcomes Stars
At the beginning, end, and every three months during their intervention (or more regularly if their situation changes), the service user (SU) completes an Outcomes Star with their support worker. The Star measures the relationships a person has with the different areas of their life - how motivated and supported they are in moving forward and sustaining a better situation.
Each outcome area is broken down into smaller steps, providing a way of consistently and objectively measuring distance travelled, and pinpoints 'bite-sized' actions to make progress.
There are many different Outcomes Stars, designed for different groups and situations. To track our progress as an organisation, everyone uses the Homelessness Star. This is the original Star which gives a holistic picture of progress in 10 different areas, from Accommodation, Money and Motivation to Social Networks and Self-care.
As SU Star scores begin to rise, they move through their own Journey of Change (JoC), from finding the motivation to change, through being supported, to managing independently.
The table below shows the improvement by general percentage for each individual outcome area of those we have worked with during that time. It should be noted that 79% of the service users made progress in at least 5 areas during their time with us, and that only 11% regressed in the area of offending.
| Activity | Improved | Stayed the same | Regressed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Motivation & taking responsibility | 57% | 21% | 22% |
| Self care & life skills | 54% | 36% | 10% |
| Money | 75% | 11% | 14% |
| Relationships | 68% | 25% | 7% |
| Drug & alcohol | 43% | 43% | 14% |
| Physical Health | 57% | 18% | 25% |
| Mental Health | 71% | 11% | 18% |
| Meaningful use of time | 54% | 18% | 28% |
| Accommodation | 68% | 4% | 18% |
| Offending | 82% | 7% | 11% |
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The net outgoing resources for the year amounted to £55,209 (2021: net incoming resources of £125,788). The total reserves carried forward at the year end are £122,191 (2021: £177,400). Certain grants have been given for specific purposes and these are shown as restricted funds, (see note 11). The financial support of statutory partners, charitable trusts and other donors is greatly appreciated and enables the charity's work to be sustained.
Reserves policy
The Trustees keep one month's running costs in a reserves account as a short term contingency fund to cover immediate payment of any arising costs. Should the general reserves of the trust decrease below 3 months' running costs the Trustees will implement the emergency financial plan.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF C2C SOCIAL ACTION
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of C2C Social Action ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022.
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 registered member of ICAEW 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.

C2C SOCIAL ACTION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).
Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Legal form
The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. Its registered office is as shown on page 5.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised as they are received.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Improvements to property - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 20% on cost
Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The trustees are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The trustees consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

C2C SOCIAL ACTION NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
Significant judgements and estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the charity accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies.
Financial instruments
Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under administrative expenses.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.
