The principal objectives of the charity are:

The prevention or relief of poverty or financial hardship
To assist in the treatment and care of persons suffering from eczema

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

The year 2019-2020 were very successful for each one of our projects. We were also thrilled to run our ‘I am a Volunteer’ project to encourage children and young people to volunteer for local charitable organisations. We thank the National Lottery Fund for enabling to run this fantastic project connecting 80 young people with six different voluntary organisations. Our main activities include:

Here 2 Hear: supporting hearing- impaired children and their families
Here 2 Support - Debt counselling and support for people in debt
Here 2 Empower - Employment and Skills-building courses for young people (18-25) to help them access employment

Here 2 Help is an umbrella organisation for our three different projects; each with its own Project Managers, staff and volunteers. Through the devoted efforts of our staff and volunteers we have offered support, ignited new hopes and improved life chances for our many beneficiaries. We thank our many generous funders for their kind support which has enabled our charity to grow so rapidly.

Here 2 Hear

Here 2 Hear is a project of Here 2 Help, staffed by a steering committee, all who are parents of hearing impaired children.

From its humble beginnings, Here 2 Hear has now become an immeasurable source of support for parents and carers, as well as children who are hearing impaired. Appropriate support is given and positive attitudes are fostered that the challenge of deafness can be a rewarding experience for deaf children, young people and their families. Here 2 Hear aims to support all individuals diagnosed with any degree of hearing loss in overcoming the challenges of deafness.

We provide sensitive and caring support to parents who are facing a fresh diagnosis and offer special sessions new parents, where we explore various subjects such as the importance of using hearing technology consistently, advice on Benefits and support available and up to date information and data.

We also run bi-annual Retreats for families. Here, they have the opportunity to share their struggles, concerns and experiences in a comfortable and stress free environment. A huge amount of emotional and moral support is gained during the weekend, and parents and children eagerly await this event all year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the Year Ended 30 November 2020

Other activities include workshops for the children geared at improving self-confidence and self-esteem, monthly support group sessions for parents, and seasonal trips for the whole families. Through our range of programs and services we have supported 65 hearingimpaired children and their families.

Here 2 Support

Hear 2 Support is a project of Here 2 Help set up to aid people struggling with debt, through our free helpline, debt-control classes and referral service.

For many young people, all it takes is one credit card payment that they cannot pay, and they become prisoner to debt. A debt that grows with each passing day due to the accumulating interest. It is like a whirlpool they cannot escape. Here 2 Help offers a life-saving hand to these desperate men and women and helps them to become debt-free.

We are particularly targeting young people whose lives are spiralling downwards due to landing in debt. Through our free confidential advice line, referral service and financial literacy classes we have reached out to approximately 150 beneficiaries in the last year.

Here 2 Empower

This project has been established to help young people who are NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training).

STAFF

The charity is currently staffed by G Goldberg - Chairperson, Chana Tescher - Treasurer, Miriam Halpert - Secretary. The trustees have served throughout the year and the power to appoint new trustees vest in the current board. All funds are raised by the trustees.

RESERVE POLICY

Our reserves should provide the organisation with adequate financial stability and the means for it to meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. The trustees propose to maintain the charity’s reserves at a level which is at least equivalent to three months’ operational expenditure and have done so having regards to its manner of operation of likely funding streams. The trustees review the amount of reserves that are required to ensure that they are adequate to fulfil the charity’s continuing obligations on a quarterly basis at their finance meeting.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the profit or loss of the charity for that period. In preparing

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Here 2 Help.

We report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2020, which are set out on pages 6 to 9.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner Staff

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an independent examination is required for this year under the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

It is our responsibility to:

examine the accounts under of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under the 2011 Act
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you the trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

The accounts were constituted from notes, information and explanation of the trustees. We found nothing unusual or suspicious in the records presented to us.

In connection with our examination, no other matter except that referred to above, has come to our attention to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
