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 pa￿￿ettI 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 MagnI￿de 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. tn￿teeS 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 lo￿1 wmmuniti¢s.
Financially. the reduction in fund balan(e5 carried forward ￿ at 3111 M￿h 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 str￿e8]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 di￿us$10ns still required to firwlise th¢ out¢ome5. Som¢ staff

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEFS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Welcome
Prior to lhe pandemt¢, our work of welcome focused on ow Wekonhe Boy¢s projecL where trained volunteers
visit newly arrived families and individuals ref¢rreil to us from various or8anisations across Derby. They
provide a Welcome Box filleil with practical gifts, but also offer befriending support to help them register for
Televartt setvices and connect into community. Due to the pandemic this project was paused and r¢plac¢d by an
emergency grocery delivery projecL a5 a way to meet the practical needs of families arriving in Derby whilst
being abl¢ to stay conne¢t¢d with people and addre55 isolation. Our English Classes. which had been delivered
in a classroom settin& transilioned online. using Zoom as a way to engage with participants and help with their
w¢llb¢ing. whilst also improving their English. Our eommunity meals and soci•l 4¢liYities stopped. but our

PTOVLsion of short-iernj a¢¢omrnodaiion with volunteer hosts. Our Fimi Foundation5 proje¢L which started in
Jan 2020 with ihe aim of supporting asylum seeker and refiJgee children wich their ¢ducation and wellbeing
needs, also had to be adapted. with online ESOL classes being off¢r¢d and 5tsff #nd volunteers providing
r¢souw¢5 for children to en8ag¢ with at horne.
Much of our work is f￿USed on the refuget ruettlement schemes ITh both LincolnshiTe and Derbyshire.
Originally entitled the Vu]n¢rable Petsons Re5¢tt1emertt Scheme (with a focus on refuge￿ from S￿TI0), it has
now been expanded to include other refijgees and is called the UK Resettlement S¢h¢rne. Due to th¢ pandernic,
and resulting travel bans that came into forrx in early 2020. no n¢w families wer¢ r¢wttled in eith¢r Derbyshire
or Lincolnshir¢ during this period. Support for families already here as part of the schemes had to be adapted.

Fln*Trcial Review
The income for the year to 31 March 2021 wa5 £424,361 (2020= £535.141). After costs. the charity had a deficit
of £39.205 (2020.. £31,672 surplu5). Total fund5 carried forward * 31 Marth 2021 were £ 175,403 (2020..
£214,608).
Investment Policy
There is very little fix¢d investhlent in the chaTity at present. and most fixed assets are leased. Property 15 rented
from others in the charity secior. Depending on ihe success of programmes and the increas¢ in r¢fvgee numb¢r$
it) the UK, it may become desirable io own propety to further meet the charity's objpxts.
R¢s¢rves Policy
The Upbeat Communities Lid reserves policy was introduced in Novemb¢r 2017 in r¢sponse to the growth of
the Charity. We, as Trust¢¢s, ¢ontinue to review ihis policy, urefully considering the Chariry's financial
s¢anding in respec¢ of res¢rv¢s. with th¢ following conclu5iOJL5=
Upbeat conlinue to seek io build resilience and Iwld appropriate financial reserves to provide continuity
of servi¢e to our service users
The mitigation of risk to Upb¢at'$ cortiinued existence remains a significant factor in the Charity's
operations planning.
The financial risks currenily identified are.. covering unforeseen day lo day operational Cost increas¢5,
the loss of one or more sources of unrestyicted fundin& the commercial difficulti¢5 of late Cu5tom¢r
payments and the potential need io initial¢ a new projKt in line with the Charity's objects, prior to
external funding being available
The sources of unrestricted fvnding cwtently include but aren't limited to.. Resettlement ProjecW DLS.
Upbeat Cl¢an, Individual givLDg and aTmual fundraisitig activities.
The reserve5 will corttinue to be built from these $ources.
The level of r¢serv¢s should continu¢ to ref]ect th¢ curreni costs basis
We have defined resetves to be.frtt resetves". i.e. vnr¢stricted fiJnd5 ¢x¢luding fixed assets and defined b¢nefii
pensions. These free reserv¢s include short-r¢nn investmeni balance4 wh and other wtsrkrng capital balances.
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. Maintsining the status quo has been a more realistic tsrget,. something which
ha5 been achieved. As we move out of COVID restrictions and as budgets allow. the Upbeat Directors will put
in place a plan to butld to the target l¢vel.
The Directors b¢liev¢ that the resems policy and the financial performance Jgainst the agreed targets should
¢ontinue to be reviewed every 12 months ls a minimum. with any required arnendments made to the policy at
each annual r¢view. Upbeat Directors ¢ontinue to consider investtnent opporivnities. including new projects in

The Directors remain cautiOU5 in our investment approach. with interest bearing accounts with Teputsble and

Plan5 for the Future
The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the way we worked, both internally as a team, &8 well as the way we

It is still impossible to predict the long tern) impacts of the pandemic on the n¢eds of thos¢ we work with, the
