## **Key activities and achievements** 

With a view to advancing the Charity’s objectives, in the past year (April 2021 - March 2022) we have been engaged in the following key activities. 

Since January 2017, ODCF has been a partner organization, alongside Worth Unlimited and Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together, in _**TogetherWeCan** !_ , a long-term, intergenerational, community-building project within the Firs & Bromford neighbourhood, funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, and Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together (a Big Local partnership). Since September 2018, _TWC!_ has also included the ‘Together for Families’ partnership with Tame Valley Children’s Centre (run by Spurgeons), focused on local families with under 5s. 


After an extension year from phase 1 (from Jan 2020), and then a 6-month period of emergency funding through the early days of the COVID pandemic (TWCX/E), July 2021 marked the beginning of _TogetherWeCan_ phase 2 (TWC2): a 5-year period, finishing in June 2026, with the aim of leaving a legacy, articulated in the ‘legacy statement’ of Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together: 

_‘We wish to develop our community into a place of creativity and compassion, where all feel welcome, all feel connected, all feel they belong and all feel that they can flourish.’_ 

_TWC!_ brings together youth work and adult-focused community-building work to maximise the opportunities for intergenerational (as well as cross-cultural) interaction and relationship-building, as we seek to support both young people and adults on a developmental journey from ‘entry points’ into community activities, into deeper belonging and sharing with others, towards learning new things which help them flourish within their community and, in many cases, step into various forms of ‘leadership’ role where they enable the participation of others. The work of _TWC!_ staff is focused on enabling and ‘alongsiding’ with local people, supporting local residents to take the lead in connecting with their neighbours, and offering and holding spaces where encounter, learning mutual support can grow and develop.

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)** 


In May 2021, Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill) launched, funded by a grant from Groundwork/HS2, based at Hodge Hill Church, led by local volunteers, and supported by ODCF staff. While sitting under the over-arching vision of _TWC!_ , this has been a substantial additional piece of work under the ODCF ‘umbrella’ over the past year, and into the future. Key outcomes for the Pantry project include: 

- **Improved health and wellbeing** - through increased access to food, fresh fruit and veg, and support with cooking meals (through Recipe Bags, conversations with others, etc) and through social interaction, emotional and practical support, developing friendships, and connections into other community groups and activities, and signposting to support and advice services. 

- **Increased community cohesion** - through social interaction, opportunities to volunteer, and bridging geographical and cultural divides between different local neighbourhoods. 

- **Enhanced education and training** - through supporting members to develop and share skills in food growing and cooking, and financial budgeting; and through training for volunteers (e.g. food hygiene, first aid, community safeguarding, etc.) 

Across our work, and within the wider _TWC!_ partnership, ODCF continues to employ 2 full-time members of staff, and 3 part-time staff – including 2 who have been newly-appointed within this financial year: 

- **Street Connector Mentor** , FT (Paul Wright) – supporting the team of Street Connectors, leading on developing mentoring/coaching locally (including supporting people with new ideas), developing and overseeing the TWC learning programme 

- **Community Support & Development Worker** , FT (Lucy Poulson) – supporting Places of Welcome & other peer-led groups, developing a community-wide approach to ‘barrier-removing’ support, supporting neighbours using creative & performing arts

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)** 

- **Green Connector** , PT (Cath Fletcher) – supporting neighbours to engage in local green spaces, and in growing projects at home and in other local spaces 

- **Street Connector Trainee** , PT (Clare Mclean, started Jan 2022) – working alongside the SCM, supporting the team of Street Connectors and supporting people to develop new ideas 

- **Community Gardener** , PT (Louise Marsh, April-September 2022) – working alongside the Green Connector 

ODCF continues to work with Jane Perry, a freelance social researcher, to support us in developing evaluation tools for our work within the wider _TogetherWeCan!_ project. Jane led on producing a comprehensive evaluation report of _TWC!_ ’s work across the extension year and emergency period (TWCX/E) – which was summarized in last year’s annual report. We are continuing to produce annual evaluation reports on our work, the most recent being in July 2022 (summarized below). All reports are available on request. 

## **- Key outputs (July 2021 June 2022)** 

**Street Connecting** - Over the year, the regular Street Connector team has varied between 7-10 members, with 2 new members joining. The team restarted regular street-connecting sessions (3-4 times each month) from April 2021, onwards resulting in over 70 recorded conversations. 

**Street & Community Events** - During August 2021, we supported 5 street-events, attended by a total of 216 neighbours (71 adults and 145 children). We supported neighbours to run their own street events to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. This resulted in 15 amazing events, with total attendance over 700 (285 adults, 420 children). 

**Supporting Groups & Activities** - We have continued to support the development of neighbour-led groups and activities, both one-off and ongoing. These have included: 

- Streetwatch 

- Theatre Group [inter-generational] 

- Book Group 

- Creative Writing Group 

- Knowing Me, Knowing You (inter-cultural story sharing) 

- Walking Group 

- Men’s Brunch 

- Your Local Pantry 

**Community Gardens** – we currently support 4 community gardens (Hodge Hill Church, Ambridge House, Tame Valley School and outside the Hub). In total, our Green Connector Cath has supported 65 community gardening sessions over Year 1. Numbers of neighbours participating in gardening sessions have grown steadily over the year, to around 10-15 per session in 2022. 

**Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill)** - In our first year (April 21 to Mar 22), 193 members joined the Pantry meaning that 590 individuals (322 adults and 268 children) had the opportunity to access Pantry provision. Rate of membership slowed in the second 6 months but has settled at around 8 new members each month. Between Oct 21 to Mar 22 we have averaged 23 shops per week, with an average of 48 members using the pantry at

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)** 

least once a month (representing approx. 94 adults and 58 children). In total, 89 members accessed Pantry provision at least once during the period, representing 141 adults and 113 children. We have a growing team of active and committed volunteers, currently standing at 22 in total, with around 15 present each week (across the two days of the project’s operation). 

**Men’s Brunch** - Numbers attending Men’s Brunch have built steadily, with 27 men engaging, at some point, so far in 2022. 

**Open Door drop-in Place of Welcome** - Open Door has welcomed 10-15 neighbours each week, engaging a total of 131 neighbours over Year 1. Open Door is supported by a core team of 5-6 volunteers each week. 

**Support & Signposting** - our TWC2 Adult Support Worker, Lucy, supported 137 households, involving 464 separate interactions (support conversations, phone calls or support with form filling etc). 

**Learning, Mentoring & Ideas** - 17 neighbours, alongside 11 TWC staff, have participated in a range of training, including: 

- Conflict resolution (7 attendees) 

- Strength-finders (23 attendees) 

- Community Safeguarding (20 attendees) 

**Vision-shaping & Story-sharing** - In March 2022, we were delighted to support an Unsung Heroes event – celebrating our Covid Heroes & our community story. The event was attended by over 100 local people, including 20 neighbours who acted as hosts. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The plans, budget and funding arrangements for _TWC2_ include a ‘tapering’ of employed staff on the project, by 2026, reflecting our commitment to growing local people into positions of leadership and reducing any dependency on paid staff. This tapering has already begun for ODCF staff (funding for the Street Connector Mentor post reducing to 0.8 from July 2022), and increases in the coming years. Currently, ODCF’s plans are, in general, to reduce staff time in line with the tapering of funding (rather than redeploy to other projects), although ODCF is also committed to growing its external consultancy/training ‘offer’, using at least one of its employed staff, alongside one of its unpaid Directors. We are also currently reviewing the way we engage in ‘barrier-removing’ support with neighbours in crisis, as this has been a recurring tension and challenge, both in terms of staff capacity and boundaries, and locating it within our wider ABCD approach to communitybuilding. In January 2023, ODCF will be engaging in a 3-way strategic review with its _TWC!_ partners (Worth Unlimited and Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together), which will help clarify our direction of travel as an organization, which continues to be primarily locally-rooted.

Open Door Community Foundation Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

During the year 2021-22, ODCF’s activities were largely funded through the 5-year _TogetherWeCan2_ project grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, and match funding from Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together (the local Big Local partnership) – with additional funding coming from a Groundwork/HS2 for the Your Local Pantry project. This has enabled us to cover all of our organizational running costs, alongside staffing and project costs. We have begun to build up our unrestricted funds through some small external contracts (delivering consultancy and training). 

## **Reserves policy** 

ODCF Trustees are seeking to build up, and then maintain, reserve funds equivalent to 3 months salary costs (including redundancy payments) and the fulfilment of any other legal obligations (e.g. rent). At the time of writing, free reserves are low, but growing. Trustees recognize that this remains a significant risk factor for the future of the Charity, and are working to address this challenge, primarily through developing our external consultancy and training ‘offer’. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

Open Door Community Foundation Limited is a company limited by guarantee (No. 09549202) and a registered charity (No. 1164850) governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.  The Charitable Company was incorporated on 19 April 2015 and obtained its registration as a Charity on 15 December 2015 when it commenced its activities. 

## **Appointment of trustees, induction & training** 

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles (section 19), with up to 6 nominated by the ‘Founding Member’ (the PCC of St Philip & St James, Hodge Hill), and up to a further 5 nominated by the Board of Trustees. Recruitment of new Trustees is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees, with support from ODCF’s staff members. 

Key criteria for new trustees include: 

- Understanding and sharing the distinctive ethos and approach of ODCF 

- Bringing skills and experience that enrich the Trustees’ work of oversight 

- A rootedness in, or a connection to, the neighbourhood of the Firs & Bromford in which ODCF’s work is focused 

Induction for new Trustees includes time spent with the Chair and other key Trustees, time spent shadowing our staff, and a review of our core policies and procedures (including safeguarding and risk management). Trustees are alert to the value of ongoing training and support, and draw particularly on the support offered by Thrive Together Birmingham, who regularly send an advisor to ODCF Board meetings, and facilitate an annual away day for Trustees and staff together.

## **Report of the Trustees (continued)** 

## **Organisational structure** 

As a very small Charity, organisational structure is relatively simple. The two full-time paid staff are line managed by one of the Trustees (the local vicar), who also acts as Secretary to the Board and Designated Safeguarding Lead for the Charity. The Green Connector and Street Connector Trainee are line managed by the Street Connector Mentor. The Board of Trustees also has a separate Safeguarding Trustee. Day-to-day financial management is supported by our partner organisation, Worth Unlimited, whose Operations Manager also acts as our Company Secretary. There is a Trustee on the Board who takes the lead on financial oversight.

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The trustees are required to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the surplus or deficit incurred by the charitable company for that year.  In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue to exist. 

The trustees have overall responsibility for ensuring that the charitable company has an appropriate system of controls, financial and otherwise. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities and to provide reasonable assurance that: 

- the charitable company is operating efficiently and effectively; 

- its assets are safeguarded against unauthorised use or disposition; 

- proper records are maintained and financial information used within the charity or for publication is reliable; 

- the charitable company complies with relevant laws and regulations.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Open Door Community Foundation (‘the Company’)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2022 which are set out on pages 13 to 24. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).  In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

- the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 386 of the 2006 Act other than the requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). 

I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with my examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Principal accounting policies** 

## **Status of the company** 

The charitable company is limited by guarantee and does not have share capital. 

The liability of members is limited to £1 per member. 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102)(updated 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Open Door Community Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## **Going concern statement** 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will continue to operate. The validity of this assumption is dependent upon the continuance of support from the Company's key funders and in response to the progress made by the Company in pursuing a viable budget including the obtaining of further grants and other funds. The Company's current business plan shows that the Company will be able to operate in the foreseeable future. Based on this understanding, the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. The financial statements do not include any adjustments, which would result from the basis of preparation being inappropriate. 

## **Funds** 

General accumulated funds are unrestricted funds available for general purposes and include funds designated for a particular purpose; the use of such funds remains at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds are funds subject to conditions imposed by the donor or by specific terms of the appeal under which the funds are raised. The restrictive conditions are binding upon the Charitable Company. 

15 



## Open Door Community Foundation Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2022 

## **Principal accounting policies (Continued)** 

## **Income** 

Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met: 

- The charity has entitlement to the funds; 

- any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity; 

- there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and 

- the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct costs of projects and activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support & governance costs. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **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. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity no provision is considered necessary for taxation. 

## **Pensions** 

The charity contributes into a Group Personal Pension Plan for employees. This pension plan is defined contribution in nature and as required under FRS102 the annual cost is recognised as incurred and included in the Statement of Financial Activities.
