## **Objects and activities of the charity**
## _**The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document and the main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.**_
The Charity’s objects are, for the public benefit:
• To advance education and undertake research on homelessness, including its history, causes, and impact, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of a museum on homelessness;
• To relieve the needs of people experiencing or who have experienced homelessness and others who are socially excluded in England and Wales, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of education, training, grants and accommodation.
For the purpose of objective 2 ‘socially excluded’ means being excluded from society, or parts of society, as a result of one or more of the following factors: unemployment, financial hardship, youth and old age, ill health (physical or mental), substance abuse or dependency including alcohol and drugs, poor educational skills attainment, relationship and family breakdown, poor housing (that is housing that does not meet basic habitable standards), crime (either as a victim of crime or as an offender rehabilitating into society).
The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and this informs all of our work.
Our Theory of Change, which was developed by the core group and the board of trustees in 2017 and revised in 2022, forms the basis for our work to tackle systemic prejudice and social stigma.

## _**Chair's Foreword**_
As we reflect on the past year - the uncertainty brought about by world events and the precarity of existence for many people - it is important to hold on to the concepts of hope and joy, if we can. And despite anyone’s preconceptions, or misconceptions, the Museum of Homelessness has continued to deliver both hope and joy in spades.
We have worked hard with our community to nurture support for grassroots organisations, such as Haringey Welcome to house refugees, and to dispel myths about who we are and what we and our community can achieve.
We have also continued to work with and support artists and creatives, including the talented Surfin’ Sofas, whose Objects and Concepts album, with its deep reflections on life, was inspired by the museum’s collection and is a must listen.The most significant moment over the past year was opening Manor House Lodge, our amazing new home. Deciding to open for and with our community first was in line with our values; it’s a philosophy that works – If we get it right working with our community, everything else will follow.
Bedding down into our new space, after lengthy and often tricky negotiations, has been a joy. Signing the lease in June last year was historic - the world’s first Museum of Homelessness created and curated with our community – it was a moment that everyone who played a part in should be justly proud of.
And whilst the building is hugely significant, nothing would be possible without our people. Thank-you first and foremost to our community – those that have, literally, broken ground with us on the new site, from codesigning the outdoor and indoor spaces, to planting bulbs and digging the pond, we couldn’t have got this far without you. And a massive thanks to the crew: our Core Group; our volunteers; and our staff old and new, who have all worked tirelessly to make our museum.
We have hope and joy but also moments where we need to be brave and challenge those in power. Our Dying Homeless project continues to commemorate the lives of those that have died whilst homeless. It is the only such record in the UK and we will continue to support this vital research which is part of our investigative work that helps us campaign for change and influence policymakers.
Last words of thanks go to our funders – thank-you for being brave enough to help us deliver our vital work, and our founders, Matt and Jess Turtle, your vision, passion and drive are everything.
Sharon Heal, Chair of Trustees
## _**Director's report**_
This report covers our most significant year to date and includes our relocation to Manor House Lodge in Finsbury Park.
Throughout the last year, we have been developing the first ever bricks and mortar Museum of Homelessness. This phase of the organisation’s development is the culmination of 2-3 years of negotiation with Haringey Council and strategic planning.
The period has witnessed major changes to the physical fabric of our new site – both inside and outside – and seen us pilot and test a large range of activities. We have restored ponds, re-laid paths, refurbished and lovingly restored the lodge and made it fit for purpose to welcome both our community and to ready it for public opening in 2024-25, which will happen following this report, in May 2024.
The report below sets out our organisational development approach, how we achieved and reports on MoH's four pillars.
## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Organisational development**
Organisational development remained a key focus this year. During the period, the organisation expanded significantly, with a new staff member brought into an FTE post of Museum Manager and the expansion of the Dying Homeless Project team. Unfortunately, the Museum Manager was not confirmed in post, so the responsibilities for the role were reabsorbed temporarily into the Director roles with the support of a freelance Operations Manager. During the period, we also recruited a range of freelance roles including a Creative Project Manager, creative facilitators, a gardening team and technicians.
At the time of writing, the organisation is undertaking further ambitious recruitment plans for Duty Managers x 4, Object Storytellers x 6, new volunteers x 50 and trustees x 6 which are currently in process. This is all part of MoH’s strategic development for the new phase as a bricks and mortar museum
We have prioritised lived experience of homelessness, addiction and poverty for all roles and contracts.
In the midst of this we are pleased to have created a vibrant, inclusive and dynamic community museum. After signing our lease in June, we began a second phase of refurbishment works, including structural works, which concluded on 09 October.
## These works included:
- Removal of a structural wall to open up the downstairs space
- Installation of doorways to ensure the whole downstairs is wheelchair and powerchair accessible
- Creation of a sensory room downstairs
- Installation of a fitted kitchen and white goods
We moved in on 9th October and opened the doors to the community on 10th October – World Homeless Day. We then commenced a third phase of works and community led development of the site. Co-producing our new space
During the process of developing our space, we dispensed with the traditional approach of an architect developing a museum capital project and replaced this with the community working directly to design the site and to build and create as much as possible.
Works on this third phase included:
- Creation of a driveway and welcome wall.
- Restoration of the pond and paths.
- Design and installation of accessible ‘café corner’ in main space.
- Design and installation of retail/tech ‘bothy’ in main space.
- Design and installation of kitchen storage and shelves
- Design and installation of bespoke solidarity cupboard upstairs
- Design and installation of bespoke archive and collection room
- Installation of production office
- Design and installation of bespoke art store

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **How we did it**
As a starter, we installed an interior spatial narrative titled ‘Museum Under Construction’ This took the concept of the architects or designer studio and opened it up. Usually the architect or designer will conduct workshops with the ‘client’ and then produce designs privately in their studio. Our concept for ‘Museum under Construction’ made the entire site into a live studio to which anyone can contribute at any time. During our weekly open days, we developed a range of landscaping, gardening and refurbishment works which included planting, restoring a pond, digging paths, building seating and planters, decorating and furnishing the internal spaces
We developed community design principles with the team supported by Ellie Pritchard of Arbor Projects. We implemented compassion-based design into the site rather than hostile architecture, with amazing results. Examples of this included a welcome wall designed by community member Steve Broe and the replacement of outdoor taps direct requested by people affected by homelessness who use the park.
We flipped the notion of a VIP opening and rather than aiming for celebrity endorsement, politicians or people who occupy powerful places in society, we have opened the site for the first six months exclusively to our community, people who are homeless, in poverty or struggling with addiction.
Our compassion and community led design has created a site where people can feel safe and together we can create a sense of home.
## **Activities.**
Our activities deliver on our Theory of Change, which has four pillars. We Educate, We Fight Injustice, We Make History, We Take Action.

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Pillar 1: Educate on homelessness:**
We make unforgettable, high quality artistic events, exhibitions & content that change perceptions
## **Success looks like:**
People who are or have been homeless are making creative work and content on our own terms. People who have not been homeless are less likely to dehumanise those that are. People are more likely to take action on homelessness.
## **How we do it (methods/activities)**
Object storytelling, Artistic programme, artist commissions & mentoring, workshops, talks, conferences, and public facing programme.
## **How we delivered against this plan in 2023/24**
- Two of our artists in residence– Liv Wynter and Justin Brown (aka Surfing Sofas), delivered residencybased projects. The support from the residency enabled Liv to deliver an enhanced ‘How to Catch a Pig’ DIY showcase and punk night featuring over 10 artists and performers in July 2023.
- Surfing Sofas collaborated with MoH and Lyrix Organix to create a spoken word album Produced by acclaimed musicians including Renell Shaw (Ivor Novello Award-winning bassist of chart-toppers Rudimental) and Camilo Tirado (Nithin Sawhney, James Holden), in partnership with Lyrix Organix (Glastonbury Festival, UK Beatbox Championships) the album blends poetry, music and archive recordings to weave a raw and moving tapestry out of museum objects. The album launched in November 2023.
- We began the co-design of spaces to deliver a world-class interactive public offering in 2023. This included a bespoke set design for our main museum space, rehearsal planning with our object story tellers and the development of plans for events and activities in summer 2024 including a survival-based series of workshops and a podcast.
## **Spotlight on – Surfing Sofas**
Surfing Sofas is a social justice poet and community artist with the rare ability to communicate a personal history of homelessness, racism, trauma and struggles with mental health in a way that inspires both workshop rooms and live stages. The audiences who are regularly left speechless or in tears can testify to the power of Surfing Sofas performances.
Throughout 2023, Justin not only developed a spell binding album (our first ever!) with world class musicians and producers but he performed at memorial spaces, at festivals and took to the stage in front of hundreds of professionals and policy-makers.
We were honoured when he was named as the inaugural ‘creative of the year’ by Arts and Homelessness International – deserved recognition for a true talent.

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Pillar 2: Take practical action today (Community action, healing and justice work)**
_We take practical action and respond quickly to community need. We are flexible and go beyond what is expected of museums to meet people's needs and uphold human rights._
## **Success looks like:**
The museum has a strong community of talented, resourceful people taking care of each other. We explore and flatten power dynamics. People involved in MoH feel fulfilled and valued without being asked to change. Our community sets an example to society.
## **How we do it(methods/activities)**
Small practical actions such as support with travel or food, advocacy and support with navigating agencies, connecting people with legal support, connecting people with clinical support, creating spaces and activities for healing. Our approach is person centred, long term and focuses on depth of relationship not high numbers of people.
## **How we delivered against this plan in 2023/24**
Direct support work has continued from the moment we opened our doors at the new site at Manor House Lodge. We have provided weekly community meals, supplies and essentials through the creation of a solidarity supplies hub at the museum and case work support. A key highlight was our first Christmas Day, where we served Christmas Dinner inside and also outside, under a gazebo in the rubble! An unforgettable Christmas.
Trauma informed work: We have been developing our trauma informed coaching work with five people within the museum undertaking training and also completing an in-house training to deliver coaching sessions to members of our community in 2024.
We have developed and delivered a wide variety of community events and activities including gardening sessions, an open studio programme, work with families, planting days, yoga and community meals.
We have developed a number of key partnerships within the period including hosting The People’s Recovery Project on a weekly basis as they develop their early recovery work and a quarterly sexual health drop in with CLASH.
## **Spotlight on – our first exhibition pop-up with NACCOM**
NACCOM is the No Accomodation Network, working with refugees and people experiencing destitution in the asylum system. NACCOM community researchers produced a report titled “Refused? Experiences following a negative asylum decision,” drawing on the firsthand experiences of individuals navigating destitution and immigration control.
## Workshop Series:
We developed a series of fortnightly workshops to collaborate with NACCOM's community research team. The process, led by the community researchers, involved introducing creative methods and ways of effectively communicating their research for an impactful exhibition and event.
## The Event
While our official public opening was scheduled for May 2024, we executed a secret installation of the NACCOM exhibition in November. The installation, utilising both the outside and inside spaces of our new site, was unveiled to a packed museum audience. Ada Jusic's illustrations on textile hangings featured in the installation, which the Museum of Homelessness is donating to the Community Researchers for installations at various venues across the UK.

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
On 18th December 2023, as a direct outcome of relationships created during the above project, we teamed up with local grassroots group Haringey Welcome and Haringey Council to run a rapid response to the sharply increasing numbers of people we are seeing becoming homeless when their asylum claim is granted. This is due to new, one-week eviction periods punitively introduced by the Home Office this August. This is really starting to bite as the weather turns cold. A moment which should be joyful, receiving a positive outcome on an asylum claim, quickly turns into a nightmare which is ending in people hitting the streets. We teamed up on a hyper local rapid response initiative to prevent homelessness and housed 9 people in the period.
## **Pillar 3: Make Tomorrow’s History**
We collect and look after objects and archival records, building the national collection for homelessness, poverty and social action.
## **How we do it (Methods and activities):**
Caring for our archival items, acquiring new archival items. Contemporary collecting of objects and stories about homelessness today.
## **Success looks like:**
People who are homeless and poor are represented fairly in the future, with a focus on first person accounts of what is happening today. Through this, society can learn and develop.
## **How we have delivered on this area in 2023/24**
We have made significant strides towards further safeguarding the MoH collection and archive in the period. This has included:
- The development of a significant heritage project, funded by Historic England. The project includes a film commission and a multi-authored anthology A People’s History of Finsbury Park. The book shines a light on the complex and vibrant history of Finsbury Park and includes contributions from community members, artists, community activists and others. The book will be printed and will be available to buy in the MoH shop and with certain stockists
- We have developed a purpose-built set of archival storage units in a designated space at the lodge. The archive will be relocated to this room and this will enable a significant boost to making the archive more accessible to the public.
- We have developed ambitious plans for a new staging of object stories to take place at our new site in Finsbury Park as well as plans for specific use of the archive in our upcoming podcast and for other events.
## **Spotlight on – A People’s History of Finsbury Park**
Finsbury Park has long been an area of change, contradictions and churn. How does an area recognised for its history of activism and social change square with its founding as a railway suburb? How does its associations with post-war renewal and later its gentrification sit with the many accusations it has faced over the decades that it is in decline?
Finsbury Park is an area that has seen its housing struggles. Whole communities – like the famous Campbell Bunk and more recently the Woodbury Down Estate – have seen change. It is a site of legendary histories of squatting resistance and battles against gentrification.
Designed by Matt Bonner of Revolt Design, this anthology of featuring 17 contributors is an attempt to wrestle with the contradictions and complexity of Finsbury Park – it is also the museum’s first ever book!

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Pillar 4: Fight Injustice**
We carry out independent investigations & creatively campaign for the change we need. Our independent research and campaigns influence policy makers and the homelessness field to make changes to policy and practice.
## **Success looks like:**
## **Policy is better and more effective for solving social issues Practices are challenged and changes are made in homelessness**
**People are less likely to die preventable deaths, are treated fairly by systems of care, & the structural causes of homelessness are fixed.**
## **How we do it (Methods / Activities):**
Research, investigation methods and campaigning.
Working in partnership with Liberty, Liberty investigates, Public Interest Law Centre.
## **How we are delivering on this pillar**
Following the launch of our 2022 findings, we bade a farewell to Miranda who left to go on maternity leave. Gill Taylor became strategic lead for the Dying Homeless project. Gill is a very influential and highly regarded specialist in homelessness policy making, public health and radical safeguarding practice. She assembled a new look team including coordinator Delwyn Wussah and data analyst James Vale to deliver the project. During the period we took the decision to pause the launch of the 2023 findings to allow MoH time to deliver its opening phase. The findings will now be launched in autumn 2024.
MoH has also once again supported colleagues at trans day of remembrance and the annual memorial service for people who have died homeless at at St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Our 9-month investigation into homelessness and climate change in the UK has continued to influence policy change and the new H-SWEP guidance as well as sector level research and policy. Due to our findings and campaign, Hot SWEP has been introduced for the first time in UK history.
We continue to ensure our research, campaigns and investigations are deeply connected to what is most urgent for people who are homeless and what is not being covered by larger charities. We do not have a dedicated staff member or team for this work and yet we are able to deliver campaigns that are respected and beginning to inform policy and practice.
## **Structure, governance and management of the charity**
## **Board procedures**
As per our constitution, all board meetings must take place with at least three people present.
The board meets at least four times per year. The board commit to at least one joint board and core group meeting in the year.
The board actively maintains the charity’s policies and procedures and has designated safeguarding and data protection trustees.
We maintain a trustee risk and conflict of interest register related to board appointments.

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Trustee recruitment**
Trustee invitations to join follow on from board discussion at meetings. The board consider suitability and skills needed for the role. The trustees commit to principles of open recruitment for future trustee positions. The charity will be recruiting for new members in the forthcoming financial year.
Prospective trustees must attend one meeting as an observer before joining the board.
Once a trustee has been invited, the following procedure usually takes place:
1. Relevant information will be sent to the prospective trustee including previous meeting minutes, strategic planning documents and policies
2. Trustee information will be registered and with the charities commission.
3. After they have had an opportunity to read the guidance and the following information, prospective trustees will be requested to make an appointment for an induction where more information will be shared. **Staffing**
Since beginning, the charity has operated largely through volunteering and later with freelance support for the organisation. In this reporting period, the organisation has grown in terms of staffing and freelance support for us to transition into our new space. This is described in greater detail in the ‘Organisational development’ section below.
## **Core Group**
The charity has a commitment to devolved decision-making and to ensuring that direct experience of homelessness is central to all aspects of our work.
To this end, the co-directors co-ordinate and are part of the MoH core group. This group meet regularly to discuss operations, projects, creative content and strategy for the museum. The group has at least 80% lived experience of homelessness. The group can make recommendations to the board of Trustees regarding the direction and programme of MoH. For example, the Core Group designed the employment terms and conditions.

## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## _**Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2024 .**_
At 31 March 2024, the CIO’s unrestricted funds were £288,597 (2023: £162,808) and the CIO held £64,710 (2023: £72,280) in restricted funds. Incoming resources for the year totalled £496,000 (2023: £283,088) of which £134,887 (2023: £101,995) related to funding for projects upon which restrictions are placed. Museum of Homelessness received an unusually high set of income due to a one off contract from Creative Impact Research Centre for Europe supporting cultural innovation. This has led to a much higher than expected income for the year and higher expenditure than planned. Total expenditure in the year was £377,781 (2023: £163,556), leaving a surplus for the year of £118,219 (2023: £119,532). The intention is to spend some of this surplus down in the 2024/25 year which will be an intensive year of delivery; setting up the new site and opening to the public for the first time. 2024/25 budget is forecasting a £96,000 intentional deficit, where reserves that we have prudently built over a number of years will be used to maximise the opportunities of the opening year and enable the charity to test out different approaches.
We are grateful to all our donors, many of whom wish to remain anonymous and to our ‘foundational funders’ for our move to Manor House Lodge; Paul Hamlyn Foundation, The Linbury Trust, Arts Council England, Oak Foundation, Sarah Jane Leigh Charitable Trust, CSDS and CIRCE.
We do not take local authority or central government contracts for provision of homelessness services. We do not take government funds as a general rule. In this year, we did take public funding from sector specific arms-length bodies such as Arts Council England (National Lottery Project grants) and Historic England, but only after assessment of whether the relationship was likely to restrict MoH's ability to remain fully accountable to and represent our community of people experiencing homelessness and we were satisfied that this was not the case.
## _**Policies on reserves.**_
The trustees have agreed to a target of holding approximately 5 months operating costs in free reserves. This currently equates to around £168,000. The March 2024 position means the CIO has more reserves than target, but the forecast budget for the following year should mean that by the end of year March 2025, the reserves do not exceed the stated policy of 5 months operating costs.
## _**Availability and adequacy of assets of each of the funds**_
The board of trustees is satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations in respect of each fund.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-
- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
This report was approved by the board of trustees on 17 January 2025.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 14 to 28 for the year ended 31 March 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 18.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report**
As described on page 11, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken**
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide
Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion**
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:-
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination;
have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **1 Accounting policies**
## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_
## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.
## **Going Concern**
There are no uncertainties about going concern.
## **Risks and future assumptions**
The charity is a public benefit entity.
## **Nature of income**
Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.
## **Categories of Income**
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.
**Income from exchange transactions** is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.
**Income from a non-exchange transaction** is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.
## **Income recognition**
Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.
Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.
All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.
18
## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure**
A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated..
Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.
## **Volunteers**
In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity.
However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.
Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Leasehold improvements
Over the term of the lease, 10 years
## **Debtors**
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade
discounts due.
## **Financial instruments including cash and bank balances**
Cash held by the charity is included at the amount actually held and counted at the year end. Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn, are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements.
## **Fund Accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or as implied by law.
There are no endowment funds.
19
## **Museum of Homelessness**
## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **2 Liability to taxation**
The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity**
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.
## **4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position**
There are no significant implications of such matters.
