The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

**Structure** The charity, by Constitution, provides for voting members other than the Trustees. Membership is invited and limited to organisations which demonstrate an active interest in the welfare of Southall’s residents and its community. These organisations may nominate a representative with powers to vote at general meetings, including for new trustees nominated from the members at the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, one-third of the Trustees will retire, and that number will be replaced by decision of the members. In addition, the Trustees may decide to appoint new trustees up to the total set in the Constitution. 

**Governance** The Trustees held eleven scheduled monthly meetings during the year and one unscheduled meeting in August. This meeting was arranged following on-line meetings with LB Ealing Councillors and Officials during July. The purpose of the additional meeting was limited to considering HSSH approach to discussions regarding possible accommodation for rough sleepers and the future shape of HSSH services in support of rough sleepers. 

## Particular decisions taken by the Trustees 

1. In the search for accommodation with suitable facilities complying with continuing covid-19 health concerns, the Trustees considered properties belonging to the two Churches which had hosted the night shelter until March 2020 and which were represented by Trustees on the board. Following appropriate assessments neither was found to be suitable for adaptation. 

2. Trustees approved an application to the Government’s Winter Transformation Fund through the then Ministry for Housing and Local Communities (now Dept for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities). The funding was granted enabling HSSH to rent rooms for 9 rough sleepers from November until March 2022. 

3. Trustees agreed an appointment in July 2021 to the role of Community Support Worker providing a service already initiated on a voluntary basis a year earlier. The activities centred on food and clothing distribution once a week and Day Centre support one afternoon a week. The Day Centre soon became a venue for workers from the statutory services to meet with their clients which includes HSSHG’s guests and others experiencing homelessness. 

4. In September the Trustees started the process to end formally the furlough arrangement, as a result making redundant the two workers who had provided Evening and Night cover at the night shelter that could not now be reopened. 

**Management** Hope for Southall Street Homeless employs a Manager who reports to the Trustees at their monthly meetings. The Manager oversees the

work of the Complex Needs Case Worker and the Community Support Worker 

## **Objectives and activities** 

As the Everyone In programme wound down during the summer of 2021 Staff found that the new situation of support was marked by the anxiety of its guests that their immigration status would determine whether or not they would continue to be supported with accommodation. As immigration case workers pursued applications with the Home Office, Staff worked to ensure access to the health care for each guest and to support them towards treatments for addiction. For both these activities, improving health and managing addiction especially, the Day Centre became an invaluable asset, enabling one-to-one sessions with workers. 

One outcome of the end of Everyone In and there being no night shelter was that support and services were now being provided to more people than had been accommodated in the shelter, rising from 14 to 18. 

## **Significant change** 

As noted above, Rev Gerard Mitchell resigned as a Trustee to take up the role as Parish Priest at St Aloysius in Glasgow. 

HSSH said farewell to Rev Gerard Mitchell SJ, the Trustee recognised as leading the discussions that brought HSSH into existence and, until September 2020, the Chair of Trustees. He remained a Trustee until almost a year after handing over the Chair, his final meeting being in May 2021 before returning to Scotland and taking the role of Parish Priest at St Aloysius in Glasgow. His contributions at meetings were always based on a clear view of the needs of homeless people, especially of those rough sleeping which he had termed the ‘most visible sign of social injustice’. Most strikingly, he saw alternatives, sometimes the most obvious ones which no one else had expressed. HSSH remains deeply grateful to his vision and commitment, and for leaving us with continuing contact within the wider network of the Jesuit community to support this work. 

The new Chair, Sue Crawley, had taken over a year before. The Trustees held a small reception on 12 May 2021 and presented Fr Gerard with a copy of Welcome to Britain by the Immigration Lawyer, Colin Yeo. 

## Annual Review to end of Year March 2022 

## **Not just ‘when’ but ‘how’ will the pandemic lockdown end?** 

There is no previous time when local, community-based night shelters for rough sleepers were forced to close for any reason for a whole year and more. This was then the fate of the Hope for Southall Street all-year shelter, closed after running for over 4 years in March 2020, as it was for all other night shelters. Without a precedent, there was no experience to answer the question facing Hope for Southall Street Homeless (HSSH) at the start of another year – what should HSSH be aiming to do in the coming year, exactly? Should the Trustees’ 

Hope for Southall Homeless/Trustees matters/AGMS/AGM 2022/Annual Report Yr ending 31 March 2022 



4 

priority be to find alternative accommodation, since providing accommodation has defined its work so far? Should Staff be thinking of new ways to deliver HSSH’s services without a shelter? And, how will the pandemic end and what will the impact be on the guests who have passed a year being supported while living in their own individual rooms? 

Anticipating the eventual end of lockdown and its restrictions, HSSH spent much time in meetings deciding whether to return to the sort of accommodation the Church Halls of Holy Trinity and St Anselm’s had once provided; or, since so many of its guests had spent well over a year in individual rooms, to regard dormitory-style accommodation and setting up the beds each night as something best left in the past. This was not only a discussion round a table; practical alternatives were explored too as reported under Trustees’ Practical Decisions (above) 

## **Four factors post-lockdown that had an impact on HSSH delivering its services** 

These factors together began to influence Trustees and Staff as to how they assessed its work during the year: 

1. Communal shelters, that is, those without individual rooms and facilities (to prevent the spread of the virus) could not re-open. A consequence was the loss of a place of gathering with opportunities the shelter gave to look at the needs of the group as a whole. 

2. The dispersal of the one-time guests broke the clarity of who made up the priority group for Staff support. During the year, others came to be referred to Staff, both informally by word of mouth, and more formally from borough-commissioned services. 

3. Reconnection. Lockdown coincided with, and may have caused, an increase of individuals who asked for assistance to return to their country, known as ‘reconnection’. This was notable as Outreach services began to refer people to Staff for this purpose 

4. Immigration status became the main pressure on all the individuals being supported by HSSH. Why now? Because the Everyone In programme had highlighted that many homeless people had reduced or no immigration status, and immigration advisers had been made available. Providing immigration advice became a priority recommendation of post-Everyone In reports to Government. Now, coming out of lockdown, immigration status came to define the next step in each one’s future. 90% of HSSH guests had no grounds for a case to gain status in the UK. 

## **Where were the guests on 1 April 2021?** 

At the peak of their dispersal, the guests had been located across 7 London boroughs. By 1[st] April 2021, having been transferred to hotels exactly a year earlier, they were in 5 boroughs, which included 4 hotels and a facility established for homeless people which was situated in a neighbouring borough. At least 10 were being accommodated in rooms in Southall. Noticeably, the Staff were now supporting 15 guests rather than the 14 at the shelter. By the end of March 2022 the number was up to 18. 

## **Envisioning future accommodation** 

The hopes for accommodation needed to be explored through realistic resources 

Hope for Southall Homeless/Trustees matters/AGMS/AGM 2022/Annual Report Yr ending 31 March 2022 



5 

A. The Churches. Both the Churches which had hosted the shelter considered the possibilities of adapting current buildings or even, for one of the Churches, the possibility of something entirely new. St Anselm’s has a basement which, over 40 years ago, had been used as a basic shelter. No internal work had been done at that time to convert the facilities into shelter-like accommodation. By May of 2021, a professional assessment for adapting and developing into suitable accommodation – which would include individual pod-like spaces even if not actual rooms – resulted in a decision that the project was not feasible. 

Holy Trinity which had offered its Hall as the shelter 5 nights a week, also brought its premises into consideration for development. The issues for this Church were both wider and deeper: any development would have to take into account interests of shared ownership which exist both inside the parish and in the wider Church community. This included discussion between the 7 local Church of England Churches and also with the Diocese of London. The issue for this Church was also deeper since planning here was envisioned as much more than a conversion, the aim for the basement at St Anselm’s, but a major development. Following enquiries with the bodies responsible for the site and premises, such a development was judged to be not possible. A positive proposal was made that the Holy Trinity Hall could serve as a day-time hub. 

## B. The local authority 

HSSH had two on-line sessions in July with Councillors and Officers; Cllr Mason, newly elected as Council Leader, was not free to attend either but did express his concern. Two options were suggested at these meetings: one, a site but just outside Southall which could take modular units; the other, the possibility of actual houses already operating as Houses of multiple Occupation (HMOs). The site option was ruled out as being too distant from the district where HSSH’s guests gather and access food, their GPs and others services. There was no particular offer of an HMO and so details about managing one did not arise. Ealing Authority did contribute directly to accommodation costs. See below, at end of part C. 

## C. Central Government grant: Winter Transformation Fund 

In September 2021, HSSH had notification that it would receive a grant for £42, 350 through the Winter Transformation Fund. The organisation, Housing Justice, had supported the application to the then Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. This sum was used through the months November 2021-March 2022, to provide rooms in Southall for 9 persons. All those who were given a room had come from rough sleeping at sites around Southall, and not from another form of accommodation. This significantly reduced sleeping on the streets over the winter. 

As the year ended in March 2022, Ealing Authority provided funding for a further 3 months, through to the end of June, for those in paid-for accommodation. The Trustees of HSSH were grateful for this, having previously agreed that they would keep funding it for 2 more months. 

## **Support, services and Staff: how HSSH was adapting to new conditions** 

Hope for Southall Homeless/Trustees matters/AGMS/AGM 2022/Annual Report Yr ending 31 March 2022 



6 

As at 1 April 2021, HSSH’s 15 guests were nearly all back in Southall. Most were in accommodation around 5 addresses which included 3 used by the local authority for homeless people, and one in an extension room of one of the churches. 4 of the 15 were in other London boroughs: Waltham Forest (2), Camden and Croydon. Staff continued to visit all in their rooms, taking food and clothing, encouraging the guests to keep appointments with GPs and Outreach workers. One of the addresses in Southall which could accommodate many times the number of HSSH guests that were there in April 2021 came to be the location which provided rooms for 9 individuals referred by Staff from mid-November 2021 until the end of March 2021. 

The guests’ living conditions affected Staff’s delivery of services. The fact that individuals were in rooms during this year and not actually rough sleeping – only 2 were recorded by Staff rough sleeping in one or other of 3 separate months of this year – did not reduce the need for daily contact to ensure each one was keeping appointments for health, alcohol misuse and immigration. 

A brief comparison of numbers of individuals using services between the start of the year, mid-way through and at the end: 

for **health** - **13** in April (2021), **16** in September and **14** in March; 

for **alcohol misuse support and treatment** - **6** in April, **5** in September, **11** in March; for **immigration advice** including procedures to return home – **12** , **9** and **11** , most for advice. 

What cannot be measured is the extra day-by-day effort required by Staff to maintain the level of support to people no longer gathered under one roof at the end of the day (as in a shelter) but located in different places and with no predictable times of being available. Phone calls increased, too, so that Staff became more ‘on demand’. Another factor: the statutory workers who needed to keep contact with their clients, a task that for them takes in the whole of Ealing, would rely heavily on HSSH staff to get messages to their clients in Southall. 

## **The Trustees’ role as lockdown ended.** 

Most noticeably, meetings began to take place in person, while retaining on-line option for anyone not able to come to Southall for whatever reason. 

Employment and Staff changes: three staff member leave, two as furlough ends; one new post begins 

Once the shelter had had to close, those who had been working in the Evening Shift or Night Shift roles no longer had that work. The Trustees applied for 3 employees to be registered for furlough payments. This was maintained until September 2021 in parallel with the search for alternative accommodation which would restore their positions. 

During this period, one of those on furlough had voluntarily set up St John’s Homelessness Project, a distribution point for food and clothing at St John’s church, and which was resourced by constant donations from local shops and suppliers. By April 2021, the Trustees agreed to establish the new post of Community Support Worker, and in June Margarida

Pires was appointed to the post. In September she began a new service once a week with partners RISE for responding to those with high alcohol and substance misuse. * 

In July, having been recruited by a firm recognising her engineering qualifications, Jastej Sidhu left HSSH to take up a new post. Jastej began working as Volunteer Coordinator and Assistant Case Worker in 2018. Following lockdown, she developed her role as Assistant Case Worker, notably working from home on account of shielding requirements and made numerous intervention by phone to commissioned workers to ensure a guest’s continuing support. HSSH wishes Jastej well in her new career. * 

In September, HSSH said farewell to Viv Jones and Tom Ager. Both had given the night shelter many hours of service, coming in 3 or even 4 nights a week, Viv doing so from the outset of the shelter and Tom from within six months of opening in 2016. Viv worked on the Evening Shift which as well as making laundry available as guests arrived she frequently cooked the evening meal if that was not being brought in. Viv dedicated her time on at least a couple of Christmas Days to providing a celebratory meal. HSSH thanks her for her commitment. 

Tom drove in from Bedfordshire to cover several nights per week. His time saw the occasional night time incident and need to call an ambulance. Tom also managed late night or early morning visitors who tried to enter the shelter. HSSH thanks Tom for his commitment. 

Other developments The Trustees also oversaw during the year: 

1. Adopting a new digital financial accounting system 

2. A complete renewal of HSSH website 

3. Adopting a time-table for renewing all it policies on a quarterly basis 

It also held a short Review session at the end of the February meeting which focused on 4 areas viz. Guests’ situation; Accommodation; Funders and future funding; and PR/Communications. 

Each of these was to feature significantly in shaping the year to come.

## **2. Government grant: Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Local Government** 

This major grant (£42, 350) from the Winter Transformation Fund was used to accommodate 9 rough sleepers each week for 18 weeks between the end of November and 31 March 2022, dates set according to the terms of the Fund. 

## **3. Furlough and Job Retention Scheme** 

The national Government scheme to protect redundancy as a result of the covid-19 pandemic was ended in October 2021. HSSH took the decision to make the final payments effective as from the end of September. This terminated the contracts of 3 employees. 

## **4. Changes in Staff and roles** 

The person in the role of Assistant Case Worker resigned in July. A new post of Community Support Worker was established and an appointment to the post was made, also in July to ensure HSSH services continued to be delivered during day-time hours.
