Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 issued in October 2019.
Objectives and Activities
a. Policies and objectives
The charity was established as a charity incorporated organisation on 25th August 2015, adopted on 18 December 2015 and registered with the Charity Commission (registered number: 1163304).
EN:Able Communities was registered to support implementation of the Limited by Guarantee company Efficiency North Holdings Limited's Social Value Strategy. Efficiency North Holdings Limited has the power to appoint at least 2 charity trustees. There is no limit for the number of Independent Trustees, but the Trustee Board have decided to appoint up to 6 further Trustees in March 2021.
The objects of the CIO are specifically restricted to the following, each of which is to be carried out for the public benefit.
The promotion of urban or rural regeneration usually, but not always in recognised areas of social and economic deprivation by all or any of the following means:
-
a) to relieve unemployment;
-
b) to advance education, training or retraining, particularly among unemployed people, and provide unemployed people with work experience;
-
c) to provide financial assistance, technical assistance or business advice or consultancy in order to provide training and employment opportunities for unemployed people on cases of financial or other charitable need through help in setting up their own businesses or to existing business;
-
d) the creation of training and employment opportunities by the provision of workspace, buildings and/or land for use on favourable terms; and
-
e) to maintain, improve or provide public amenities and community centres.
b. Strategies for achieving objectives
The Trustees review the work commissioned by EN:Able Communities:
-
By ensuring that all Board reports seeking investment meet the charitable Objects.
-
Normally at Annual Away day – where the Charity's strategy is developed for the following year, and ensure that the charities aims, objectives and activities remain focused on our stated purposes defined in our Objects. However, this year, due to the pandemic and only being able to meet virtually, this was not done. Instead during a Board meeting the strategy was reviewed in March 2021, leading to an updated mid-term Business Plan being published.
c. Fund-raising standards information
The Charity do not engage in any public fundraising activities to raise funds.

d. Main activities undertaken to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit
The Trustees confirm they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aim and objectives and in planning the future activities of EN:Able Communities CIO. In particular, the Trustees consider its investment into supporting the growth of skills and sustainable employment in low-income communities in the towards its objects through providing a public benefit.
EN:Able Communities will particularly benefit the public by providing much needed funding and support to help some of the hardest to reach individuals in low-income communities into employment and training which will alleviate the draw on the public purse, improve the life of the individual concerned and also those closest to them.
Achievements and performance
2020/21 will forever be remembered due to the impact of Covid, affecting so many lives, communities and the ability for organisations, not least charities to operate. Going into 2021/2022, there are ongoing considerable implications and as this report is written, the impact going forward is still not clear.
As a result, at the onset of pandemic the Trustees agreed to the proposal from Efficiency North Holdings not to receive any donations that year, to support the viability of Efficiency North Holdings. This was approved in the June Board meetings. As a result of this, EN:Able Communities had to utilise its reserves to maintain its financial viability for 2020/21.
In making such decisions the Trustees agreed to:
-
a) Maintain its operating costs at the same level as previous years.
-
b) Retain its commitments to the currently approved projects. These were:
-
i. the Social Mobility Fund Projects.
-
ii. grant funding for Newground Together to support an Employment Adviser.
-
iii. Commitment to support construction entry training for disadvantaged citizens of the Humber, through work based at the Humber Construction Hub.
-
c) Not to commission new projects that year, unless additional externally based funding was awarded for them, as restricted funding. This meant that a further round of Social Mobility Fund commissioning as planned could not be undertaken in 2020/21.
-
d) Non-essential funding was not approved. Examples were that the:
-
i. Hardship fund that had provided £10k of support in 2019/20, even £20k in previous years was deleted. This fund supported apprentices with emergency funding for travel, accommodation, mental health counselling etc should they fall on hard times. This scheme had just been extended in the previous year to support all EN:Able Futures employed apprentices as well.
-
ii. Discretionary funding, which provided a fund of £5k to support ad hoc grants in year, was deleted.
Review of activities and activities for achieving objectives
The work of EN:Able Communities CIO is linked to that of Efficiency North Holding's vision though contributing to its vision of:
-
Workforce: To help build the workforce of the future by offering a range of employment and training opportunities through our frameworks targets to local people to develop their confidence, skills and abilities.
-
Communities: To help regenerate communities by targeting funding into local projects which make a real difference by empowering people to make a positive change in their lives.

Achievements and performance (continued)
The headline outputs for 2020/21 were:
Seeking new income workstreams
In response to the Covid pandemic the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced A plan for Jobs in July 2020. In this announcement a number of flagship employment stimulation programmes were announced, whilst also providing considerably more financial support for other existing employment programmes. As a result, the Head of Operations undertook extensive research to assess the potential of contracts and successfully secured £240,000 from the governments Kickstart programme. This provides funding until June 2023 and aims to enable 250,000 young people gain a 6-month funded work experience opportunity for in work, enabled by an intermediary organisation known as a Gateway body.
In light of the pandemic, new ways of working had to be explored, and experimented. Delivery of entry level construction courses virtually, using Teams software was tried to enable the CS4L course. In preparation, the Head of Operations research and observed how other similar charities undertook this work. The Head of Operations then led a project to develop the resources using in house Efficiency North expertise. This resulted in the successful Mowlem bid application.

Achievements and performance (continued)
Furthermore, during the early parts of the covid pandemic, restrictions enabled time for greater networking. As a result, highly successful collaborations were developed with:
-
Greater participation in the Leeds Poverty Truth Commission. This enable a greater understanding of the lived experience of being in poverty and key policy makers in the city of Leeds (in statutory, private and third sectors) from which successful partnership working has since resulted.
-
Leading officers employed in the DWP, enabling a greater understand of the complex DWP commissioning structure to support employment.
-
Communities at Work. This led to not only participation as a non-social landlord member, but the establishment of the EN Connect Employment and Skills in Communities Forum in September 2020. This forum meets every second month, inviting all social landlords and other key stakeholders such as LEPs and local authority Employment & Skills Officers, to gain a greater understanding of the policy and commissioning landscape to support their residents into employment, as well as develop their own networking and potential collaborations to support future funding opportunities.
-
Leading Employment related bodies such as Employment Related Services Association, Institute of Employment Studies, Youth Employment UK, participation in the Youth Employment Group, and subsequent signing up to the Good Youth Charter.
-
Leading Social Housing Trade bodies such as CIH, NHF, Placeshapers etc.
In March 2021, the Trustees approved three mid-term business plans, as a natural cyclical part of the 4-year business plan cycle 2019 – 23. In that review, in light of the pandemic, Trustees re-affirmed their desire to maximise income opportunities keeping the objectives broad within the power of the objects whilst in particular seek to support young people into employment and Skills
Programmes delivered
Kickstart
DWP published guidance for Kickstart from September, and applications opened from October. The requirements were for a minimum of 30 confirmed jobs for a Gateway body. An application was submitted in late November and accepted on 13 January 2021. As a result, support work with the nominated companies was undertaken in Quarter 4, enabling employment opportunities to begin from April 2021.

Social Mobility Fund
The seven successful community organisations were awarded Social Mobilty Fund (SMF) funding in January 2020. However, due to the Covid pandemic and the associated restrictions, many projects opted to postpone commencement on the projects until later in the year. One Project, Rural Arts Yorkshire opted not to commence its project until May 2021, after a number of delays at considering implementation. In addition:
By the year end 4 of the 5 commissioned projects had not been completed. These were:
-
Edlington Community Organisation, in Doncaster
-
Latch, in Leeds
-
The Conservation Volunteers, in Leeds
-
Rural Arts Yorkshire, in Thirsk.
However, three projects decided to undertake their project during the reduced restrictions that were afforded to them in 2021/22. These were:
-
Brightbox – Makerspace, in Sheffield
-
Neighbourhood Project, in Bradford
-
Firvale Community Hub – The Empower project, in Sheffield
– Brightbox Makerspace
This project gave young people with inclusive skills building activities in the community maker space, focused on the technical, engineering and arts. The programme in collaboration with the Parsons Cross Initiative use their allotment provision to make a communal pizza oven and grow vegetables to support local foodbanks in light to the pandemic and consequences of local residents’ poverty.
A video was produced of the work undertaken: = = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v ZtbNrdqWoDU&feature youtu.be
Neighbourhood Project
The project sought to upskill recipients’ digital skills and confidence targeting the social housing tenants in five neighbourhoods in south Bradford (Bierley, East Bowling, Holme Wood, Low Moor and Odsal). Delivery was through meeting software, as face to face delivery could not be undertaken. The outcomes were that 63 learners were supported. As a result of this pilot scheme, Neighbourhood Project decided to continue this form of delivery and project to support further beneficiaries.

Achievements and performance (continued)
– Firvale Community Hub The Empower project
19 people (12 women; 7 recent school leavers who were economically inactive) were supported. They learnt enterprise skills selling crafts on IT platforms in preparation for Christmas sales. The participants learnt social media skills, website development, presentation skills for pitches, business administration skills and legal aspects of running a small company.
Supporting Hull citizens to enter the construction sector
EN:Able Communities CIO has an agreement to support entry level construction based training at the Humber Construction Hub for 3 years. This year is the first year of funding, as previous years were covered by other external funders. However, the pandemic resulted in the Hub being wholly closed until September and then only very partially open in the autumn, closing again in December. This resulted in only 1 course being delivered in the autumn to greater reduced cohorts of young people of 6 maximum, in reality due to participants not turning up due to covid symptoms only 3 people were trained.
Mowlem Award
In November 2020, EN:Able Communities were the successful recipients of the B&CE Mowlem Award worth £20,000. The bid was to provide online Level 1 Health and Safety in construction and CSCS card preparation. With the purchase of an online Learning Management System. Recruitment was via social media and referrals from the Hull Council’s Youth Employment Initiative.
Delivery was undertaken to:
-
28 people have commenced the on-line courses. Of these,
-
17 completed the all the L1 H&S modules. Of these,
- 12 passed. Of these,
• 15 passed CSCS Card (note some young people already had the L1 H&S, so all they needed was to pass the CSCS card)
- 3 had confirmed employment. We will chase all participants to see if any more are in employment.
YBF small Grants Fund
EN:Able Communities CIO was donated £2,000 from the Yorkshire Builders Federation to support Micro and Small construction based businesses in their business recovery from the Covid pandemic. 20 submissions were received by the deadline. 18 companies were successful, with each company being awarded £200.

Supporting Newground Together
Newground Together is the charitable arm of Together Housing Group. This arm delivers the employment and skills outputs on behalf of Together Housing, both in the Lancashire and the Yorkshire divisions. The Trustees agreed to match fund an Employment Adviser to work in the Calderdale area with a grant of £35,000 for 2020/21. This funding in itself enabled Newground to match fund a post and a further post to be then match funded for an ESF grant, for which they were successful. Therefore, Newground gained 3 additional Employment Adviser posts.
During the initial part of the grant period, due to the Covid pandemic the staff concentrated on supporting the local Halifax based food banks.
Working with local supermarkets the Advisers brought in £14,252.13 of food donations in 3 months to support the food banks and supported:
For employment advice, the service was amended to make contact with beneficiaries through text messaging and then either online, phone based or ‘walk and talk’ support.

Assessing the Social Impact
To measure the success of the work that EN:Able Communities has achieved, Trustees recognise that measuring social value is a complex issue, involving both qualitative and quantitative measurements. EN:Able Communities is confident that it is ‘making a difference’ in transforming real lives in Yorkshire and Humber. To re-confirm the most appropriate method of impact assessment, the Head of Operations undertook a review in autumn 2020. Through this review they researched what the best practice for both quantitative and qualitative impact assessment was. This consultation was undertaken with key Efficiency North member social landlords to assess not only how they assess impact, but what they would like EN:Able Communities to do going forward. The key recommendations were:
-
Impact was very important to all stakeholders.
-
The quantitative method was to continue using the HACT model, as opposed to other methodologies. HACT offered its services free of charge to EN:Able Communities.
-
More was to be undertaken on the qualitative methods, with more videos and case studies produced and published on the website.
This has now been reflected on the EN:Able Communities website. https://www.efficiencynorth.org/communities/our-work/success-stories
In respect to quantitative data, due the covid pandemic and so much of 2020/21 in heavily restricted regulations for this year we unable to report the Impact empirically.
Financial review
a. Going concern
The Trustee are satisfied that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis and believe that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence.

Financial review (continued)
c. Principal risks and uncertainties
Overall, 18 risks have been highlighted as part of the risk assessment process undertaken during the year. There is 1 very high, 1 high and 8 medium risks. The high and very high risks are:
-
Stability of income
-
This is a new risk added in light of the Covid pandemic and no donations from Efficiency North Holdings in 2020/21. In 2021/22, Efficiency North Holdings have confirmed that they will donate the operating costs (staff costs and overhead proportioned).
-
Enter contracts which exceed the risk appetite for ENC The mitigation here is the Scheme of Delegation, whereby it provides a minimum amount of contract value delegated to the Head of Operations, and the production of a risk register.
d. Reserves policy
The charity does not have any assets or properties which are permanent endowments.
Cash and deposit balances are maintained to be able to meet outgoings and grant obligations from time to time.
The trustees have considered the level of free reserves that are appropriate for the charity to hold in order to ensure its financial sustainability, future strategic development and continuing to operate in the event that unforeseen and potentially financially damaging circumstances arise. They have taken into account the reliability and continuance of future income from Efficiency North Holdings, timing of cash flow and working capital requirements.
Free reserves represent unrestricted funds of the charity excluding restricted and designated funds. The determination of an appropriate reserves level is a key part of the strategic planning process. This is linked into a risk assessments recorded in the charity’s risk register.
In June 2018, the Board decided a reasonable level of free reserves, based on the above considerations, would be £100,000. This will be reviewed in 2021/22.
Structure, governance and management
Organisational structure and decision making
The Trustees meet formally every quarter to review the strategic direction of the charity, performance of the charity, the charity's financial position, to consider the award of new grants and commissioning activity.
The charity does not employ staff. Efficiency North Holdings have donated the resources to provide 2 dedicated full time equivalent staff to support the charity’s activities: Head of Operations and a Business Co-ordinator. Furthermore, Efficiency North Holdings supports the charity with all Corporate Services staff, namely, finance, IT, HR and marketing and communications.
Risk management
In December 2018 the Trustees agreed to adopt the risk management process used by Efficiency North Holdings Limited. The risk management process assesses the risks based upon 4 levels of both probability and severity. From the assessed risk score, risk mitigation measures will be considered and then the risk will be re assessed. The Trustees have agreed to review the risk register every six months in the June and December Board meetings.

Notes to the accounts
Year ended 31 March 2021
1. Accounting policies
The following accounting policies have been used consistently in dealing with items which are considered material to the company’s affairs.
Statutory information
EN:Able Communities CIO is a charity (No. 1163304) domiciled in England and Wales. The registered office is at 1st Floor Sovereign Court, 300 Barrow Road, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, S9 1JQ.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommend Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK an Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014, (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and Update Bulletin 2 published on 5 October 2018) the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2016. There have been no material departures from these standards.
EN:Able Communities CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
The presentation currency is United Kingdom pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity.
Going concern
After due consideration of all relevant factors, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Income
All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donated services or facilities are recognised when the Charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use of the Charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of the friends is not recognised and refer to the Trustees' report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the Charity which is the amount the Charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market, a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

EN:Able Communities CIO
Notes to the accounts (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2021
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity.
Financial instruments
The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Funds
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
