## Cold Nights Annual Re ort p Report of the Trustees for the Year ending 30th June 2021 The trustees of Cold Nights CIO are pleased to present the following Annual Report for the year ended 30th June 2021. ## **Cold Nights Charitable Incorporated Organisation** ## **Report of the trustees for the year ending 30[th] June 2021** The Trustees of Cold Nights CIO present their annual report and non-audited accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2021 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 and the memorandum. ## **OUR AIMS** The charity operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation dated 6[th] July 2015. The charitable objects of the charity are the relief of poverty in particular but without limiting the foregoing by the provision of and assistance in obtaining housing, furniture, food, clean clothing and other items for persons who are in necessitous circumstances on terms appropriate to their needs. We aim to provide accessible, professional and personable relief services on a non-discriminatory basis within the Greater Manchester borough with particular attention to Manchester, City of. We seek to improve the health and general wellbeing of all service users through the provision of food, water, clothing, the signposting to larger housing and public sector authorities and the provision of the intangibles of human love and trust. ## **OUR OBJECTIVES** Our objectives are set to reflect our provisional aims and the culture of the charity. It is important to us that we maintain and enhance the service level that we provide. This objective is, however, set in the context of the broader goals we set for the Charity and its service users. In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s public benefit guidance. Our key objectives for the year included: - To progressively wind down the activities of the charity in line with external time pressures on the Trustees due to the Covid 19 pandemic. - To continue to support the sector and our service users where possible, including the provision of ad-hoc care packages to individuals in need. ## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHEIVEMENTS** ## **Volunteer Numbers and Management** Cold Nights no longer operates an extensive outreach service due to Trustee responsibilities and therefore the number of volunteers involved in the organization outside of the Trustees is reduced on prior years. We no longer have any regular volunteers or volunteer groups. ## **Outreach** Weekly outreach is no longer a core deliverable of Cold Nights however we continue to offer ad-hoc support to individuals in need through the provision of care packages. Cold Night’s trustees are involved in the hand delivery of these care packages to individuals on the streets, in temporary accommodation, and those in permanent accommodation but who remain vulnerable. ## **OUR FINANCES** ## **Financial Overview** The financial statements show net incoming resources for the year on all activities of **(£330.61)** The principle source of income is non-restricted donations accounting for 100% of the charity’s income. Donors can take comfort in that as a charity all the income of Cold Nights must be applied for relief purposes. As a charity we enjoy tax exemption on our charitable activities and on any investment income or gains provided these are applied for charitable aims. The financial benefits we receive from these tax exemptions are all applied for the attainment of our charitable purposes. ## **Operating Revenue** Total operating revenue for the period was **£403.00** In the interest of avoiding doubt we define cash donations as donations receipted either through bank transfers or in hand cash donations. As aforementioned, all monies receipted for the period are non- restricted in classification. ## **Operating Expenses** Total operating expenses for the period was **£733.61** ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** Our trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of Cold Nights Charitable Incorporated Organisation and meet 4 times per year. The work of implementing the board’s policies is carried out directly by the trustees. The close proximity of 3 of the trustees ensures that policies are integrated and enforced; these members are actively involved in the charities services and have a managerial responsibility for our volunteers. All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration were paid in the year. No trustee or person connected with a trustee received any benefit from the charity. ## **Trustee Expenses** We allow for all trustees to claim fuel expenses at the rate of £00.42 per mile. Trustees are not permitted to claim any other form of expense at this time. There has been no revision of this expense programme during this reporting period. ## **Key Management Personnel** The trustees consider that they comprise the Key Management Personnel. With the absence of any paid staff at Cold Nights it falls to the board of trustees to both govern and manage the charity’s interests at both board and day to day levels. ## **Risk Management** The trustees are responsible for overseeing the risks faced by the charity. Risks are identified, assessed and controls established throughout the year. A formal review of the charities risk management processes is undertaken on an annual basis. Risk is managed under the headings of financial sustainability, service safety, user welfare, volunteer welfare, events and community access. The main risks that the trustees have identified and the plans to manage those risks are: - Financial: Our ability to continue is reliant on non-restricted donations from Cold Night’s community. ## **Trustee Recruitment and Training** Cold Nights do not see the need to expand the existing board of trustees at any time in the foreseeable future. Any professional advice required can be obtained on a consultancy basis and for the objectives and activities the charity is currently involved in and is planning to be involved there is no need for expansion at this stage. ## **CHARITY TRUSTEES** All trustees have served throughout the year. ## **Trustees** Mr. L M Pickersgill Mrs. A L McGinn Mr. J C Igoe Mrs. D Igoe ## **CONTACT DETAILS** 1 Hillview Close Watersheddings Oldham **Addresses: Website: Registered Charity No. :** 1162540 ## **PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS:** **Bankers:** Santander 30-34 High Street Oldham OL1 1JA **Insurance Brokers:** Access Insurance Selsdon House 212-220 Addington Road South Croydon Surrey CR2 8LD COLD NIGHTS IlICo￿ AND EXPENtxtVRE SHEEf 15TJVLY2020. 30THJUME 2021 Month July Sep Oct Féb Api May JL￿￿ total RECEIPTS Inte￿51 Dvjidendpayrrts corp￿￿1¢$P￿So￿￿P Gi4nls NOrrB*5l￿CI￿dDonaI1OTh5 t1arn0Nhap￿a1 SP￿￿0￿￿1PlrQrnFU￿&￿51n9 other￿c(￿e 35 32 31 48 374 p￿cee￿Irc￿¢VenI5 Inec￿e1￿C￿ETD0n4l GlIAidAeceivedlrom8T tknDate TOTAL RECEIPTS TOTAL FIECEIPTS TOYEAR 33 256 50 324 23 23 t 370 £ 33 t 403 £ 403 403 1L 135 16? 2TJ Z74 £ PAYMENTS AcCounbry&￿9alleé* Adveriising￿d￿crnl￿n Equpmenipvrc￿Se Petrolewe￿&1I0I Tiusle*s ErnwgpDGyPIovLS19Tr5 NoThlMdSupFIIos DES1Saf*guaId￿9v•lling Ins￿3￿¢@ Int*i•slarAbankchaig• Pnntiry.PoSta9e.stati￿ery.P￿￿g1 Repai[sarArnai￿￿n￿￿Q.elÈ￿nlng Web51teeweD5E 193 262 20 127 £ 631 TPleph￿ Ublltses- e￿￿tr￿*Y.9as DOTraI￿n51￿0￿0lG￿￿ritl0S1g1OUp5 OthoiEHpon5fr$ Foods Ring-léThcedièsoLXCeS 1( TOTAL PAYMENTS 364 1Z7 £ CASHFC* THE PEF 23 34 t (331) Cl>erMng Bank Balano 16.545 16.578 16.414 16.452 16.487 16.521 16.211 16.￿4 £ 232 282 .285 £ ￿.308 £ 16.3J8 EIIDIMG CASH 16.578 16.414 18.452 18.487 16521 16211 18.214 Z32 t *282 285 08 16.214 t 18.2M
