Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounis in ac¢ordance with the Finan¢ial R¢porting Standard applicable in the UK and R¢public of Ireland IFRS102). published on ISL January 2019. CHAIR'S REPORT 2020121 has been a year dominated by th¢ Global pandemic refrTred io COVID-19. Upbeat Communities have felt ihe a¢tion% generated by th¢ vari(yJs Government legislation and &Jvice throughout the ye. This ha5 penneaied every aciiviry, from face to face classes right through to the paettI of invoices. Upbeat Communities has been required to re-invent itself whilst rontinuing to uphold its erh05 and values,. operating in this new COVID $haped world. During late March 2020. Upbeat Communiries responded to the Pandemic by putting together a crisis t¢arn, comprising Senior staff and Trustee5 10 manage the proc¢ss attd to report to Trusi¢es on the wider implications (and for d¢cision making). Budgets were continually moniiored and forecasts for future periods reviewed frequently. This Sub Committee operated for approximately 5 month& being wound up in August 2020 wh¢n it was deemed to have served its Primary PUTPOSe. The MagnIde of change during 2020f21 brought about by the Pandemic been unprecedented. Creatively finding new and safe ways to deliverthe services that upbe Communiti¢s are contracted to provide has been the order of the day. 1¢ is noi possible in thes¢ few words to adequately re¢ognise and ihank everyone associated with Upbeat Communities during thi5 tirn¢, for th¢ir ability lo get the job done to a very high standard when Do two weeks have been the same. They all deserve the highest possible praise. I would like to rxognise staff, volunteers. service users. tnteeS and anyone who has com¢ into contsd with Upbeat over th¢ p&%t 12 months. With God's provision and individual'5 flexibility, upbe Cornmuniti¢s have certainly risen to the challenges sei before them. Thank you all for th¢ commilrn¢nt and passion you constsntly demonstrate for Upbeat's cause and for being contribuior in supporting Upbeat's lfIlm¢nE of God'5 purp05¢ in the lo1 wmmuniti¢s. Financially. the reduction in fund balan(e5 carried forward at 3111 Mh 2021 (£ 178,855) compared to the previous period (£ 214,608) fully describes ihe year. Revenue for the period was £ 424,361. a reducrion of 20Y on 2019r20. Grant inctsme was significantly reduced. mainly due to the Vulnerabl¢ Persons Resettlement Scheme being Severely curtailed in both Derbyshire and Lincolnshire. To offser this, Upbeat Cornrnuniiie5 have taken advantsge of the Government sponsored Job Retention Scheme, some small COVID r¢li¢f grant5 provided by Derby Ciry Council and the receipt of some unplanD¢d Sjnding during the COVID period. An overall trading deficit of £ 35,753 15 reported for th¢ p¢riod. Without th¢ above ref¢renced Gov¢mment and Local Authority Financial as5iStanrx, plug the unplanned fiJndin& this would have been significanily higher. On reflection, the Tesilienc¢ that Upb¢at Communities exhibit5 in its fitw)ces and stsff has allowed it to meet its obligaiions through 2020121. head forward with confidence, artd be ready for growth when fu¢ opportw)it1¢5 exist. Given the financial challenges ihis year and in line with Upbeat Communitie5' ¢thos, the R¢5erves poli¢y ha5 been r¢viewed, concluding a largely ststic situation over the 12 months. Proj¢ct activity mo$tly moved to the wtDJal enviTonment this year. wilh face to face only tsking place where Gov¢rnm¢nt guid¢lin¢s allowed it. Even in the restricted envtronment of 2020nl, Upbeat Communities PTessed ahtad with developing its stre8]e plans. culminating in a facilitator led day in November 2021. The b¢nefits of this major work are yet to be realized. with fijrther dius$10ns still required to firwlise th¢ out¢ome5. Som¢ staff changes took place in the year. with Sarn Thorogood leaving to pursue other int¢r¢sts" Maddie D¢ Soyza was appointed to replace him and Vicki Offin TTlted &% Hud of Fundraising.

For 2020r21 the Directors beli¢v¢ li is Prudent to target reserv¢s of the equivalent of 3 months of operaiing costs. plus a fvrther conting¢nGy amount of I months operating costs. This enables Upbeat to honour its op¢iational obligations and provide cov¢r for a reasonabl¢ degree of unexpected operational cost increases. Bas¢d on current operntirtg ¢osts. thi5 r¢quired level of fr¢¢ r¢seTres equates to £ 192K. Actual free Teserves as ai April 2021 are £ 122K. The narnre of ihe COVID pandemic during ihis financial year has mak it difficuh for upbe to In¢aSe its ¢ash reserves ls originally planned.
