Objectives and Artivitie5 Charity registered No 1163476 is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation first registered on 8, September 2015 whose objectives. set out in its Constitution adopted on 22. June 2015, are to relieve persons in necessitous circumstances by the provision of.. lil A Care Centre forthe needy," lill When appropriate, additional day and night facilities with the aim of offering practlcal Christian roncern fgr the needy,. liiil A Night Shelter for homele55 people. The charrty ha5 only leTr operating as a CIO since 2015. but in its unincorporated form Icharity Registered No 501881, now wound upl the charity has been in existen¢e since 1973. In the 12 months under review. the Shrewsbury Christian Centre Associatlon ISCCAI has continued to operate the Shrewsbury Afk, as a dirett-access droTrin centre for homele55 and vulnerable people c105e to the Town Centre in Shrewsbury. The Shrewsbury Ark delivers the first of the charit¢s three objectives, and contributes to delivery of the second_ The charity does nol at present run a Night Shelter. The premises of the Shrew5bury Ark are open da1 on weekdays to all-comers. However for part of each day we give preference to those who wish to address particular problems. Amongst the tasks set by SCCA Tnjstees for the Ark are: To offer help and advice to homeless and vulnerable people. including rough sleepers- to work with Housin& enCieS and Shropshire Council tofind homes forthe homeless and to continue to support those who have been so helped, as they settle in. To offer comfort and SLIprt to ihose who leel excluded from society. or who have difficult¥ with day-to-day necessities. for whatever reason. To help ex-offenders find a welcome "on the outside" and to re*stablish ihemselves in the communwty without re-offending. To liaise with local Dru& Alcohol and Substance Abuse Teams to help addicts and those in fear of addiction. To liaiso with local Mental Health Teams to provide support and understanding for those afflitted by mental health problems. To liaise with the local Primary Care Trust to make medical advice available to those for whom GP Surgeries may appear unwelcoming or jvdgmerttal_ We offer limiled meals to those who have no other source of hot food. together with 5nack5 and beverages to anyone who needsthem. The Ark also provides shower 3nd toilet facilities, laundry facilities. access to a phone and IT. and a poste-restontÈ addre55 for mail. Above all. however. the Ark offers non-judgmenial Ca and support to anyone who needs it. SCCA was founded in 1973. It ran then. and still runs. on Christian principles but there is no discrimination against any who wish to Use the charity's 5eTvice5 on grounds of religion lor lack of it) or any othèr diversty. This policy of non-discrimination applies equally to paid staff and volunteers. The charity does not proselytise.
Taking account ofthe CharttyCommi55ion's guidancethe Trustees have no doubt that the Ark. being a unique service in ihe Town and surrounding area. provides a significant and proven Public enefit. The Outreach SeThice (see below) amplifies and Èxtends our achieved Public Benefit. Achievements and Perfomance The Shrewsb¥J Ark During the yèar under review. the Ark has continued supporting homeless and vulnerable people. Many of these are ~regulars" but new clients are referred to Us by other local agencies, by the local F)olice and by word of mouth on the street. Some are brought in by our Outreach service. However the Ark'5 activities and seNices have been heavi impartgd during 2020 by the COVIO-19 pandemic (see below). io. Clients, need5 vary wiilety, from those simply seeking shelter. warmth ènd sustenance, through those needing a shower and toilet facilities to those wtth chronic problem5 that have def led the support and a55lStance offered elsewhere. Many have an intense dislike of bureaucracy and officialdom- an alarming nurnber have problems ol Isteracy which w¥Jake5 completing official form5 difficult,. and a hi8h proportion have health issues resulting from addiction. alcohol and/or inadequate living conditions. The daily routine allows the staff to engage closely with those who have real and current problems in their lives and the will to address them, whilst still offering a welcome, friendship and SUPFJOrt to all. ii. The onset OF the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 generaied an immediate and dramatic step-change in the way the charity delivered its Servi5. In c105e cooperation with Shropshire Council, every known rough sleeper in the County was offered hotel accommodation together wtth arrangements to keep them supported. informed and entertained whilst living in a wholty new envimnment. This model responsè to the pandemic became the template for many other Local Authorities and was recognised by Dame Louise Casey. the Government's-Housing and Homelessness Czar" in a per50rial letter to the ATk Manager. The requirement for 50(ial dÈstancing in response to the pandemic also meant that our premises became virtualfy useless other than as an administratwe base,. it is an enomious credti to OLsr paid and volunteer staff that support for clients continued unabated - both to those accommodated in hotels and to those who already had homes elsewhere. Financial grant5 received during the year have enabled the charity to employ staff to help arrange permanent accommodation for former rough sleepers accommodated in hotels. and others in similar circumstances. and to support them when they move in. 12. One very significant Step forward during Ihe year wa5 to initiate a regular weekly medical sery[ run by a local GP. The number of clients accessing her surgery has demonstrated how much the seNice was needed and there is no doubt that incipient medical problems have been nipped in thè bud before becoming sèrious. and that some clients for whom a GP Waittng Room would be an alien environment have been able to receNe advice aftd treatment they would otherwise not have recetved at all. 13. Clients using the Ark's services are helped to the extent that they themselves wish to be helped.. we aim to help them help themselves. There are many examples of homeless individu31s who have been housed. individuals in stressful circumstances whose problems have been aédre55ed, and individuals who have failed to find arky other ready source of care and support being supported and encouTaged. for the Trustees to have no doubt whatsoever of the benefrt and utilrty of the Ark's sÈrvice5. We have developed a selection of measurable outcomeslperformance indicators Sètting out a structure for progress through the support and interver)tions that the Ark can offer- this generates objective milestones in what are frequently very individually subjective achtevements. However the very welcome number of donations. in cash and in kind. from around the county testify to the regard
in which the project is held,. and the active support we receive from Shrop5hire Council indicates the degree of benefft to the communtty as a whole that the Ark genèrates. 14. During the year the Charity ha5 employed a full-time Manager for the Ark, a Senior Support Worker / Volunteer Coordinator, and a Client Support Wo¥ker taking the majorrty of the day-to-day busine55 of engaging with individual clienES. In addition, the Ark has employed two Door Persons during the year. to replace contracted land eremelY expensivel security stsff. Some 50 willing and hard-working volunteer staff workFng in the Ark. without whom we would not be able to continue Én operation, provide essential direct supp)rt for clients. 15. In June 2020 the Charity V4as honoured io receive the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. in recognition of the massive and indi5pen5able service provided by kts volLtnteers. More recentlyi the Ark ha5 also received an Award from the High SherÉff of Shropshire for its Contribution to the community. The Charity has received loyal. committed and conscientious support from all its paid staff and volunteer5 who have worked incredibly hard in what is often a ihankless and stressful task. but without their efforts the Ark would not exist and rf(s services to homele55 and vulnerable people in Shropshire would cease. The Trustees are indebted to them all. The Outreach SeNice 16. On behalf of Shropshlre Council the Charity provides a rapid response service to reports of people sleeping rough, originhlly anywhere in the Shrot15hire Council area. but more recentty reslricted to the area in and aroLtnd Shrew5bury_ A dedicated member of staff. with support from other persons so that there is no lone-working. then pondS early in th? mrjrnings before the rough sleepers have p3cked up and moved on. This setvice has madè 3 substantial contribution to &asing the lot of those sleeping rough, and it5 value has been widely recognised. 17. The charity is also able to arrange visits lo past clients of the Ark who have been settted in independent accommodation and who no longer reEularly use the Ark's facilities. In this way it is hoped that Fireventivè support and a(fvice can be given, when necessary, so that incipient problems are nipped in the bud and the dan8er of further homelessness Iperhaps resulting from miso)nduct i the accommodation, failure to pay bills on time, lack of famili8rily with basic hygiene requirements, etcl can be averted. Outreach is making a major contribution to Teducing the incidence of homelessne55 and rough sleeping in the County, and is coniributing significantly to the delivery of the second of our charitable objective5. The Ark Charit Sho 18. The purpose of the AFk Shop is to undeirr(e SCCA'S charitable objettives by providlng a regular income stream, and a150 to help fund the enhancement of our services to our clients. In the year under review the Shop was fOrd to close for much Df the sumrner by the strictures introduced to combat COVID-19 and this inevttably affected trade. Nevertheless the Shop generdted a surplus of over £8,0 from gross trnding income of nearly £27,(X)O. 19. The Trustees wish to place on record their admiration for the WO of the Shop Manager and her volunteer staff for their invaluable contribution- it adds signffticaTrtly to the charivs financial 3ssets, generates a stock of clothing Suitable for the Arvs clients and also provides a second, very visible focus for the charty in the Town Centre. Flnancial Review 18. In a year in which many charities found themselves seriousty short of income, the Ark has bucked the trend. FortutTralely for us, most of our regular donations tonlinLEed unBbaled and the
publÈcitygenernted by ourresponseto COVID-19 generated a numberof one-off donations and grants. As a Tesult, it has turned out to be another highly su¢cesthil year and the Trustee5 must record their gratitude to the many indNiduals, church congregations, other gmtsps la wtde variety of groups, not all of them overtly charitablel and bu5ine55es who have contributed to ourfunding. so ihat once again we have exceeded our target for donations. It is clear that our donors reflect the respect that the community contTrnues lo have for our achievements.. they represent the lifeblood of the Shrewsbury Ark, for without them the resources to run the Ark would very rapidly dry up. 19. The number and amount of grants recetved from Grant-making Trusts and similar ch3r¢table eontÈrrts has remained impressively heh. These have included major grants from the Millichope Foundalion. Lloyds Bank Foundation for England & Wale5, the Garfield Weston Foundation. the Beatri Laing Trust, the Twemark Trust. the Lady Forester Trust. Mrs L D Rope 3, Charitable Settlement, the Albert Hunt Trust. the Hilden Chèriiable Trust. the Shrop5hire Masonic Chèritable A5s0cialion and the Masonic charitable Fotjndation. the Hobson Tnjst, the 29, May 1961 Trust, the W A Cadbury Charitable Trust and the Alchemy Foundation as well a5 a number of other smaller but very welcome and greatly appreciated grants. Wè are Èxtréfflety grateful to all of them. are of our5e also very grateful for the steding efforts of the lady who has taken overthe task of approaching Grant-m3king Trusts on our behalF, a repetitive and often thankless task carried oul with determination and a very welcome degree of succes5. 20. The tharty has been a beneficiary of £20.[1 part-settlement of a legacy during the year, which was been addel to the Mrs J B Whtrnan Fund (see below) for future enhancement ofthe Ark's services. 21. Expenditure in the Ark was hi8her than in 2018119. largely because of additional cost5 met in responding to the COVID-19 pandemic,. bLrt those extra costs were cOVed by grants received. 22. As explained above, net Income lo the Ark Shop was much lower in 2019120 because of the enfarced elosure during COVID-19. Indeed. witholrt the Business Support Grant received during "lockdown" the Shop WOU have been in deficit for the year. However donations received from individuals walking into the Shop whilst tt remained open continued at a very worthwhile level, urbderfining the value of having a presence dose lo Ihe Town's printipal shoppÈng area. 23. Desi nated Fund5. The Mrs J B WightFnan Fund now holds nearly £472.(m earmarked for the enhancement of the Ark's services to its clients. Plans for such enhancement5 are discussed further under"Pl3n£ for the FutLtrre- below. Funds shown a5 Outreach Funds derive from the grant received from Shropshire Council for their Outreach Seryice. which the charity 15 committed to spend on providing support to persons sleeping rough. The ~D3z" Funeral Fund was created to receive donations in memory of a past client to f1rtan his fvneral- but in thè event income exceeded costs ané the balance has been retained to support comparable expenditure in the future. 24. Restrtctèd Fund5. Assets held in the Lawrence Edbrooke Fund help clients afford the costs associated with movrnE Into independent accommodation_ The Pret Foundation Trust Grant for the provision of food letcl forthe Ark's clients. was not renewed in 2020 and ha5 now been fully expended. Grants received t9 5UPPOrt clients movins into independent accommodatiOf7 following the CQVID-19 pandemic have been credited to the~Moving On" Fund. 25. Re5erve5. The Trustees have reviewed their policy for Pjnancial reserves and have concluded that the level should increased io £55,0(K)- this reflects the fteed to deal sympathetically and properly with both staff and clien15 if for any reason it were ever deemed necessary to close the projeci take5 into account the impending move to new premi5e5. 26. Sustainabilil The Trustees are satisfi.ed that the prèsènt attwit1 of the Charity represent a viable and sustainable project for the foreseeable future provided, of course, thèt donations and grant5 continue to be Tlved at more 01 less the present rate, and provided that no extreme and
unexpected financial commitments arise. Sufficient fijnds a available as Reserves (see prevtous para8r3phl to act as a bLrffer should unexperted financial tribulations affect the Charity. We will Continue to maintain a gUlar and careful review of income and expenditurè thmughout the year, so that appropriate steps can be taken to increase the former, andlor reduce the latter, if it appears necessary. Plans for the Futts Isee below) need to be seen in this context. Plans for the Future 27. The Trnstees. long-standing frustration at the lack of progress in finding new premises for the Ark was assuaged in August 2020 when an offer for the purchase of the "Rock and Fountain" pub. close to our existing premÈses, was accepted. Th building is substantially larger than our present home and offers scope for us to expand and enhance our services to our clients. A number of quasi- legal issues arose dtsring the process of purchase. but Contratts We eventually exchanged, and the sale completed, on I" July 2021. The purchase price has ljeen wholfy met from the Mrs Wightrllan Fund, wrth funds stÈll bÈinE available for necessary refurbishmènt fOre we can move in. 28. That refurbishment will include showers and a disabled toilet on the ground floor, a kitchen In place of the bar, a proper reteptlon area, a new and propedy-equipped medical room and a quiet room for clients who may be in distress. Future plans. as resources allow, include fitting out an exercise roorn to enable clients to improve their physical and cardio-vascular health. Although we shall not now be able to move in before the autumn of 2021. the prospect5 for the future are brightening by the dayl Structure, Governance and Management 29.
