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 March 2025. 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).

Support Northamptonshire (SN) is an association of charities operating in Northamptonshire delivering health and wellbeing support services.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Our Purpose

Our Aims

Our Objectives

Community Organisations. NBCT is a collaboration of over 25 Black organisations brought together as a direct result of the disproportionate impact of Covid on Black communities and Back Lives Matter to overcome health and other inequalities.

Public Benefit

The Trustees are satisfied that the charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102 and acknowledge that the charity complies with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 regarding providing a public benefit. The Trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission's general guidance on Public Benefit when reviewing aims and objects and in planning future activities.

In particular, the Trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The Trustees ensure that these activities are carried out for the public benefit by delivering services that are valued by the people we support and enable those with responsibility in the sector to develop and adopt best practice, thereby promoting a transparent and efficiently managed charity that engenders public confidence and trust.

Support Northamptonshire met its charitable objectives during the period April 2024 to March 2025 by delivering a diverse range of services and direct support for vulnerable people; enabling asset-based community-led social action; and through supporting organisations to collaborate; and building support for Black Communities in Northamptonshire through the projects outlined below.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable Activities - Projects

The following projects were supported and delivered. Staff and volunteers are involved in supporting delivery. Volunteers undergo training and DBS checks and have continue to support projects and people. Volunteers have also supported project delivery and being part of project teams.

Support North Northamptonshire

This team is funded by North Northamptonshire Council, the Integrated Care Board and Connect Northamptonshire to pilot new service transformation in how people receive preventative services that lessens demand on stretched health and social care statutory services. The service provides a Single Point of Access, co-ordination and navigation to partner services and aims to build resilience for people and communities. The service delivered support to over 600 people and impact reports show significant outcomes. The service is part of the wider transformation programme for the Integrated Care Service (ICS).

Ageing Well

The Ageing Well Team is funded by the Integrated Care Board (ICB) and is made up of 3 PTE staff and supports Asian older people and we have had a very successful year supporting over 100 people for one-to-one support and provided wellbeing support and services for over 300 people. The one-to-one support is person centred and holistic and has supported people to access the right services, navigate services and also ensure that people's language and cultural needs are taken into account.

Key challenges this project aims to address are:

The Ageing Well Impact Report demonstrates case studies of people supported and the outcomes achieved for people. For example we supported a 84 year old man with onset of dementia and multiple health conditions. We helped reduce hospital admissions with support from Asian Carers at home and at the end of life when he had a short placement in a residential home. The feedback from the family was: 'thank you for all the support you have provided to our father and continuing to look after him during difficult times'.

Active Communities

We are grateful to the People's Health Trust for funding this project over 2 years.

The project builds on previous work and is beneficiary led. Working across Wellingborough and Corby we are supporting Asian communities of interest with a focus on 'Growing Well and Growing Digitally' beneficiaries asked for digital skills and support and we are trying to provide this in creative ways so that people feel confident, independent and well. We provided wellbeing activities that included:

SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

The feedback from beneficiaries is very positive and Impact reports demonstrate case studies and account for the outcomes of group activities. Focus groups identify the areas that beneficiaries are saying they want the project to deliver and we work to respond to this. We have also recruited 10 volunteers to support the project and some are beneficiaries. One of the volunteers said: 'This work really keeps me remain active, gives me a purpose and helps me to support other people'.

Lloyds Bank Foundation

We are very grateful to the Lloyds Bank Foundation for their 3 year grant to Support Northamptonshire to support the growth and development for our organisation. This support has been invaluable in assessing the needs of the organisation and providing us with all the support we require to develop a sustainable organisation.

NCC - Groundwork Lead Organisation for the VCSE Infrastructure Contract.

We are grateful to NNC for funding the collaboration of 5 partners including Support Northamptonshire to deliver the contract for developing effective VCSE infrastructure across North Northamptonshire. We are leading on the work for NBCT and wider work within the ICS and developing a CEO network.

Northamptonshire Black Communities Together (NBCT)

Support Northamptonshire has been supporting over 20 black organisations and developing wider services and projects for the county's Black (Asian, African, African-Caribbean communities) . The work of NBCT has been very important to influence social policy, practice and services for black communities across Northamptonshire.

Voice for Change

We are grateful to Voice4Change our national Black infrastructure partners for funding NBCT to develop support for Black organisations across Northamptonshire including the NBCT website, support plans for organisations, development for NBCT organisations to build capacity, capability and strategic partnerships.

Voluntary Impact Northamptonshire (VIN) - Connected Communities

We are grateful to VIN for providing grants from the National Lottery Community Fund for: - Support North Northants (SNN) to develop a positive action programme to test how we can increase referrals from communities of interest including Black, Disabled and LGBTQ+ communities. - NBCT for developing its infrastructure and wider development sessions for Black Communities.

Sport England

We are grateful to Sport England for providing us a grant to enable us to test and trial new physical wellbeing activities for people from the Asian Community. This was extremely successful, and we had many participants. The impact report describes the experience of participants across 7 different activities and people reported that they were able to take part in activities that they had not previously experienced.

West Northamptonshire Council (WNC) - UKSPF

We are grateful to WNC for enabling us to work with the Northamptonshire Bangladeshi Association (NBA) to deliver a successful programme for supporting women and men in the Bangladeshi community with IT, employability and confidence skills.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

At 31 March 2025 SN held £207,368 in reserve of which £68,533 was unrestricted.

The Charity has and will continue to focus on its strengths, review ongoing costs and commitments and identify new opportunities as they arise. There have been no significant financial events, the Charity continues to manage grants from a diverse range of funders and commissioners, and each project is managed within the financial limits. Performance on each project is reported at Trustee meetings.

Principal funding sources Acknowledgement of funders

The Trustees are grateful for the support of funders and commissioners

Reserves policy

This policy is reviewed annually to ensure that it remains proportionate and reasonable.

SN aims to build and maintain a level of reserves that will enable the charity to protect against any dramatic fall in unrestricted income or unexpected rise in expenditure in order to meet its commitments. The Trustees' Finance Policy states that SN's reserves should be maintained at a minimum of three months budgeted unrestricted expenditure. Should unrestricted reserves fall to the six-month expenditure level, the Chair of Trustees will convene a meeting to assess the situation and to put a plan in place to avoid reserves falling below the three-month level.

Risk Management

The Trustees have considered the major business and operational risks which the Charity faces and confirms that systems have been established so that necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks. The office provision remains fit for purpose and meets H&S regulations. Staff continue to work from the office base (or delivery site) and/or home having implemented a hybrid working pattern.

The Trustees continue to meet regularly and carefully consider the risks of any new projects. With support from the Lloyds Bank Foundation the Board had a development day in February 2025 with a view to establishing its business strategy and plans.

The Trustees responsible for HR, Finance and Governance continue to support the CEO in the oversight of these areas.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Support Northamptonshire ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025.

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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SUPPORT NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our independent examination work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our independent examination work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
