## _For information;_

_The terms we use are;_ 

_Guest instead of service user or client_

We have prepared a statement of language that is attached separately. DocV1_ 22/23 Person-Led Language Policy 

## **2. Chair's statement** 

I am deeply humbled to present the annual report for Coffee4Craig, covering the financial year ending March 31, 2024. This year stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to supporting individuals facing the harsh realities of homelessness and social exclusion in Manchester. 

In a year marked by unprecedented challenges - from the escalating cost of living crisis to dramatic spikes in energy, rent, and food costs - we have remained steadfast in our mission. Our evening drop-in service has continued to provide vital support to Manchester's most vulnerable individuals, serving as a beacon of hope and stability in increasingly uncertain times. 

Throughout this challenging period, three pillars have sustained our operations and extended our impact: 

- The extraordinary dedication of our volunteers 

- The unwavering generosity of our donors 

- The collaborative spirit of our community partners 

Despite the challenges, we've achieved several significant milestones: 

- Secured transformative funding from the National Lottery, strengthening our capacity to sustain and evolve our service delivery 

- Successfully recruited three new trustees, each bringing valuable expertise and experience that enhances our governance and organizational support 

- Maintained our evening services without interruption, providing consistent support to those who need it most 

- Strengthened our partnerships with key stakeholders, including Manchester City Council and the NHS

Our resolve remains firm as we continue to channel our energies toward making a positive and lasting impact in the lives of those we serve. In the subsequent sections of this report, you will find a comprehensive overview of our financial activities, governance structure, and vision for the future. 

On behalf of the entire Board of Trustees, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to our dedicated staff, tireless volunteers, and steadfast supporters. The remarkable impact of Coffee4Craig would be impossible without their commitment, dedication, and time. As we look to the future, we remain committed to our mission of supporting those experiencing homelessness, while adapting and evolving to meet the changing needs of our community. 

## Caveat to post April 2024 - 

We undertook a recruitment campaign and appointed 3 new trustees, all of whom have come with expertise and experience that strengthens our governance and enhanced support to the organisation. I would like to thank them for their commitment to date and in the future. 

## **3. Trustee’s report**

**Consistency:** We take pride in being a steadfast and welcoming presence. We create a nurturing environment where our guests can find solace, knowing they are in a safe and reliable place.

## Trustees’ annual report 

## for the year ended 31 March 2024 

Our meaningful connections with guests pave the way for their journey to stability and a life beyond street homelessness. It's amazing to witness how a simple act, like offering a hot meal, opens the door to a world of support and opportunities for transitioning into stable accommodation. 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

The trustees 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 its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. 

## _3b. Our Impactful Activities_ 

We strive to create a vibrant, supportive, and inclusive environment for anyone over the age of 18 who is experiencing street homelessness or facing vulnerability due to their current circumstances, whether it's sofa surfing or living in a vehicle. 

Within our out-of-hours drop-in service, here are some of the incredible provisions we offer every evening: 

**Vital Support, Respite and Consistency:** Our incredible team are on hand each evening to meet with people experiencing street homelessness. The evenings are tough, especially in the winter, this support and reassuring welcome is vital to people's well-being. 

**Fresh, Hot Food and Drinks:** Our delicious and nutritious meals and beverages ensure that everyone's basic sustenance needs are not just met, but exceeded. 

**Showers with Toiletries and Clothing:** Our guests have the opportunity to refresh with showers, toiletries, a change of clothing, and even haircuts when desired. 

**Medical Support:** Our team is dedicated to providing comprehensive medical support through our ongoing partnership with North West First Aid. We also carry out referrals to NHS services when required. 

**Mental Health Crisis Intervention:** We respond with compassion and professionalism to support those facing mental health crises. This intervention offers everything from a listening ear to calling emergency services to assist when an individual’s life is in danger.

## Coffee4Craig 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## for the year ended 31 March 2024 

Our team's compassionate interventions and the provisions we offer allows us to advocate for our guests, especially when navigating a complex support system. We understand that this process can be challenging for our guests, and we are here to make their transition away from street homelessness as stress free as possible. 

Our most important role is to be a consistent point of contact for our guests. This unwavering commitment allows us to create emotional connections with them, which are the foundation of trust. This trust, in turn, helps us identify the underlying causes of their current situation and design positive action plans for their recovery. With our doors open 365* days a year, we provide reassurance that The Meanwhile is a safe haven, regardless of the day. 

Although we primarily focus on serving individuals over 25, we do not hesitate to provide assistance and guidance to younger guests when needed. In such cases, we ensure a smooth referral to the appropriate support agencies for this age group. 

As a charity, we look forward to a future where the services of homelessness charities are no longer required. In the meanwhile… Our team and the services we offer continue to grow and thrive in the areas needed and requested by our guests' needs. 

Our goal is to create a sense of community, where every individual's unique needs are not only met but celebrated. We remain committed to making a positive impact and spreading hope in the lives of those we work with. 

You can join us on this incredible journey towards a brighter tomorrow! 

## _3c. Staff and Volunteer teams_ 

We are incredibly grateful for our team who have been working and volunteering at Coffee4Craig and as of financial year end 2023/24 we have six (6) full time staff members, three (3) part time and over 50 volunteers, all actively working to support our guests seven days a week. 

We have continued as an accredited Living Wage Employer, setting a standard within the sector to pay a set hourly rate to all staff, regardless of position or role. The entire team is crucial, and each individual has skills, expertise and experience in different areas, nobody is paid less or more per hour than anyone else. So far this has resulted in high staff retention and a feeling of community within the team, everyone has a valued opinion and every decision is based on a discussion. 

We have also continued to support our staff with First Aid Mental Health training, so they can spot issues within their team, the volunteers and the individuals they work with. The most recent ‘well-being’ support

## Trustees’ annual report

whereby each member of staff is able to take one day off per calendar month to stay mentally well and healthy, has been in place for over 12 months and has been a remarkable success. Staff report feeling more able to speak about mental health and overall well-being with their colleagues and all staff feel more able to take time off when needed without fear of repercussion. 

## _3d. Partnerships_ 

We have continued working alongside statutory services, Greater Manchester Combined Authority and other charities within the sector supporting the work of the Manchester City Council, The Manchester Homeless Partnership and The Mayor of Greater Manchester to enhance our work. 

As part of our commitment to collaborative working with other charities we have exceeded our objective and opened the doors of The Meanwhile to; 

## ● _Manchester Homelessness Partnership;_ 

We have continued our commitment to The Manchester Homelessness Partnership (MHP). The partnership meets regularly to enhance the support the third sector gives the local authority and offers peer mentorship for the charity sector, creates a standard approach to supporting the individuals we each work with and allows for accountability within the sector. 

## ● _Baubels4Beds;_ 

As a charity we have continued working alongside the Baubels4Beds campaign, this is a fundraising campaign run by the local Manchester artist, Frank Dowd. We look forward to seeing this collaboration grow and develop over the coming months. 

## ● _Greater Manchester Police;_ 

We have continued our partnership with both Greater Manchester Police and Manchester City Councils ASBAT department to carry out our collaboration with The Manchester Street Engagement Hub. 

- _North West First Aid;_ 

We have continued working with our fantastic medical support team who have always provided the best support for our guests whenever there is a medical crisis or emergency. The figures speak for themselves over a typical month the medics will advise, treat and support over 40 individuals. It is not uncommon for them to administer life saving treatment on a weekly basis. 

## ● _Delta Security Solutions;_ 

As part of our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of all our staff, guests, volunteers and visitors we have contracted a security company to assist the meet and greet process of the drop-

in. Using Delta Security has been a huge success and the impact this has had to the overall service has been really positive. As a charity working with highly vulnerable individuals with a complex history of trauma we were concerned with having a front facing barrier to accessing the service. 

All our fears were eroded once we met the security, the guys working for Delta are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and have a greater understanding of the complexities of our guests than your typical ‘nightclub door supervisor’. They are all a part of the team and we are proud to work with them. 

## **4. Financial review** 

The financial year 2023/24 has seen the continued decline of fundraising and individual donors. This can only be attributed to the cost of living and rise in unemployment along with the general sense of financial 

In terms of being able to work to our objectives and continue to deliver our primary services, we were able to successfully continue with our partnership with Manchester City Council and the funding has continued therefore we were able to stay operational. 

We were able to secure funding with the following; 

|**Name**|**Link**|**Amount**|**Project**|
|---|---|---|---|
|The Albert Gubay<br>Foundation|https://www.albertgubayfoundation.org/|£30,000|Relief & Recovery<br>Project|
|Manchester City<br>Council||£105,000|Evening Provision<br>Project|
|Donations<br>(General)|Via PayPal, Total Giving…|£90,000|Unrestricted|



We were also successful with our funding application to The National Lottery Reaching Communities during the period but this will not financially affect the charity until financial year 24/25 but this is an exciting development. 

## **5. Investment policy**

The current reserve policy states that Coffee4Craig shall have available (three) 3 months of operational costs at all times.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st] March 2024 which are set out on pages 13 to 32. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and 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. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

3. the accounts 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.

October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting
standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and
UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a 'true and fair view, and have
departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required
to provide a 'true and fair view,. This departure has involved following 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
(FRS 102), second edition - October 2019, rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities..
statement of Recommended Practice effective from l April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Coffee4Craig 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.
b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's
ability to continue as a going concern.
The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting
date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets
and liabilities within the next reporting period.

areas of the charity's work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
g 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 is classified under the following activity headings:

purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was
incurred.
