Report of the trustees for the year ending 30[th] June 2022
The Trustees of Cold Nights CIO present their annual report and non-audited accounts for the year ended 30[th] June 2022 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 continue to progressively wind down the activities of the charity in line with external time pressures on the Trustees due to personal circumstances.
-
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 ACHIEVEMENTS
Volunteer Numbers and Management
Cold Nights no longer operates an extensive outreach service due to Trustee responsibilities. 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 (£757.27)
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 £338.00
In the interest of avoiding doubt we define cash donations as donations received either through bank transfers or in hand cash donations. As aforementioned, all monies received for the period are non- restricted in classification.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Our trustees are responsible for the overall management and control of Cold Nights Charitable Incorporated Organisation and meet 2 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 was 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.
