Key activities and achievements

With a view to advancing the Charity’s objectives, in the past year (May 2022 - April 2023) 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.

The period May 2022 – April 2023 largely corresponds with Year 2 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 addition to TWC2, Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill) has been running since May 2021, under the organizational ‘umbrella’ of O CF, funded primarily through a grant from roundwor / S2, based at odge Hill Church, led by local volunteers, and supported by ODCF staff. Key outcomes for the Pantry project include:

As of April 2023, across our work, and within the wider TWC! partnership, ODCF employed 1 full-time member of staff, and 4 part-time staff – including 2 who have been newly-appointed within this financial year:

Open Door Community Foundation Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2023

Report of the Trustees (continued)

After an extensive internal review of the way we have done our ‘barrier-removing’ support wor , we sadly made the decision to make our Community Support & Development Worker role redundant, and said goodbye to Lucy Poulson, in February 2023. By April 2023, plans were substantially developed towards appointing a dedicated ‘ Livelihoods Support Worker ’ (part-time), to focus solely on support work (alongside community-building colleagues), using a new approach, based on the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach developed elsewhere in the UK by Church Action on Poverty.

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 has led on producing a comprehensive annual evaluation report of TWC! ’s wor , the most recent being in July 202 (summarized below, and available online at https://worthunlimited.co.uk/news/2023-09-13/together-we-can-partnership-reportson-another-great-year). All reports are available on request.

We have also continued to benefit from the financial, HR and organizational support services of Matt Perry, a long-standing employee of Worth Unlimited who now supports us through his own business Giraffe HR. Matt has acted as Company Secretary of ODCF since its foundation.

Key Outputs: Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill)

Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill) – April 2022 to March 2023 has been the second full year of operation of Your Local Pantry (Hodge Hill). Over these first 2 years, 276 members have signed up to join the Pantry, benefitting 879 individuals (475 adults, 404 children). As of 30 April 2023, current ‘live’ membership was 78, benefitting 140 adults and 78 children. During this period the café-style ‘Place of Welcome’ (to complement the Pantry shopping ‘offer’) has been thriving. Through the winter it made a leading contribution to the local ‘Warm Welcome etwor ’ across the area, as one of the daily free, warm, welcoming, safe spaces on offer, with any visitors to the space registering as Pantry members (but with no obligation to pay to shop),and free hot soup and bread available.

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

O CF’s approach to our wor is one of constant reflection, review and revision, drawing regularly on the wisdom and insight of our gifted staff team, and of the brilliant volunteers and participants in our work. Over the period of this annual report (May 2022 – April 2023), this has included:

7

Open Door Community Foundation Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2023

Report of the Trustees (continued)

The developments in our work this year, our reflection and evaluation processes (both internally and with local partners), and the changing political and economic environment nationally, have all contributed to a reappraisal of our stated approach to continue to ‘taper off’ our staffing in Firs & Bromford neighbourhood over the coming years. We remain committed to growing local people into positions of leadership and resisting – as much as possible – dependency on paid staff. However, the huge positive impact of the ‘homegrown’ Trainee roles, the development of our Livelihoods Support work and Mental Health & Wellbeing capacity-building support, all indicate the value of an ongoing staff presence on the ground locally, alongside a growing role in supporting the strategic development of neighbourhood leadership and infrastructure (including learning and training opportunities), organizational sustainability, and an external training / consultancy offer, which have largely been led by our Street Connector Mentor.

By April 2023 we had committed to an internal organizational process of reviewing our vision, values, approach and future plans – drawing in staff, volunteers, Board members and external advisors. This process began in September 2023.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

During the year 2022-2 , O CF’s activities were largely funded through the -year TogetherWeCan2 project grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, match funding from Firs & Bromford Neighbours Together (the local Big Local partnership), and a 3-year grant from Groundwork/HS2 for the Your Local Pantry project. Additional funding has come from a number of smaller, shorter-term grants, and some small external contracts (delivering consultancy and training). This has enabled us to cover all of our organizational running costs, alongside staffing and project costs, and to gradually begin to build up our unrestricted reserves.

Report of the Trustees (continued)

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 have grown significantly since our last report, but need to continue to do so.

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 ), with up to 6 nominated by the ‘Founding Member’ (the PCC of St Philip & St James, odge ill), and up to a further nominated by the Board of Trustees. Recruitment of new Trustees is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees, with support from O CF’s staff members. Key criteria for new trustees include:

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.

Over the past couple of years, we have lost two of our Trustees and currently have a very small Board. Expanding and strengthening the Board of Trustees is a top priority for us over this next year, seeking to reflect and resource our developing vision and priorities for our ongoing work in this area.

Organisational structure

As a very small Charity, organisational structure is relatively simple. The two full-time paid staff continue to be 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 Connectors and Street Connector Trainees are line managed by the Street Connector Mentor. The Board of Trustees also has a separate Safeguarding Trustee. Day-to-day financial management, HR and organisational support, is provided by Matt Perry (formerly of Worth Unlimited, now of Giraffe HR) who also acts as our Company Secretary. There is a Trustee on the Board who takes the lead on financial oversight.

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 2023

Principal accounting policies (Continued)

Income

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

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.
