## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Secret Space is a yoga and complementary therapies social enterprise operating in Hertford, offering a range of services to the public, including yoga and pilates classes, yoga therapy, yoga for people with physical limitations, massage therapies, courses in holistic therapies - provided by recruited and trained service users and external therapists. Other complementary therapies include perinatal classes, meditation, mindfulness, sound healing and chanting. The Secret Space also provides room rental opportunities to local counsellors and therapists, workshops including yoga, meditation, mindfulness and free space to local community groups. 

## The Secret Space's mission statement: 

We aim to provide a welcoming space for everyone offering Yoga and Meditation, Pilates, Holistic Therapies and a programme of volunteer and training opportunities for people who have overcome great difficulties in their lives. We want to help people live full and empowered lives, underpinned by a sense of wellbeing and community purpose. 

Volunteers are variously people who are: 

- in recovery from drug and alcohol problems. 

- in recovery from, or living with, mental health problems. 

- living with physical disabilities. - domestic violence survivors. 

- retired. 

- long term unemployed. 

- Experiencing isolation 

- Carers 

The Secret Space is beneficial to the public in a variety of ways including: 

- providing a space for the public to relax away from their everyday lives. 

- learning important skills in terms of looking after themselves physically and mentally. 

- volunteers who maintain their recovery will draw less from public monies in terms of rehabilitation or criminal justice processes. 

-increasing local employment. 

- bringing the local community together in a positive setting. 

- providing the public with an increased awareness of issues connected to those who are socially excluded in a non-judgmental way. 

-Giving access to health sustaining activities to those on low income 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During 2022-2023, like many charities we continued to feel the effects of Covid-19. This, of course, also had an effect upon our finances. Despite this, we were able to support ten volunteers, and offer them some sense of purpose. Of  those ten, three were in need of a sense of community due to feelings of isolation, one is a single parent needing support, one volunteer is in recovery, three live lives with mental health challenges and finally, two presented with dual diagnosis of mental and physical healthcare issues. 

We deliver coping strategies for the ongoing anxiety experienced by many of our volunteers. We offer online and in-house yoga classes free of charge, weekly meditation sessions, free holistic therapy sessions (offered by peer volunteers) and free spaces on online personal development courses and retreats. We also arranged for one volunteer to receive a free place on a NADA auricular acupuncture practitioner training course. 

Volunteers have a range of opportunities with front of house services, for example staffing the front desk to receive students for yoga and therapy classes. Volunteers often work in the office and carry out a variety of other duties as and when needed. One of our volunteers came in regularly to ensure the courtyard remained clean and tidy and do health  and safety checks for all of us. Another attended to online admin and customer liaison from her home. 

Several volunteers were involved in creating a more welcoming impression with a new front garden area for the centre  - a space for people to sit and talk to one another. 

Over the winter of 2022-3 (January until March) we offered a Warm Room initiative to the local community, with support from the local Tesco supermarket in the form of tea making supplies. 

At the start of 2023 calendar year, The Secret Space acknowledges that the business will focus more effort to generate more revenue via donations because the financial model has changed post Covid. We began the process of recruiting a new trustee to assist with fundraising. This new voluntary position means we will have dedicated support in the creation of grant applications. 

We successfully applied for grants from Hertfordshire Community Foundation and Hertfordshire County Council for funding for six Yoga4Health courses. This specialist yoga course is aimed at people living with anxiety, post-traumatic stress, loneliness, and isolation and is backed by NHS research. 

The Yoga4Health evidence-based programme fuses the wisdom of ancient practices with modern medical science. It  has been commissioned by the NHS and created by the Yoga in Healthcare Alliance. 

During the year we continued to offer a range of classes to support the health and fitness of those unable to afford regular classes studio. This also helped to support people struggling with loneliness and isolation to continue to be involved in group activities for a small donation or, as is often the case, for free 

Over the last year we have also branched out of the Hertford area to offer yoga classes in Ware and Welwyn Garden City. These classes mean that our reach has grown and that we are able to bring health and wellness to a wider  audience that are less inclined to travel to Hertford. 

Since then, we have also sought to offer more workshops and events at the centre. We envisage expanded into delivering a more far-reaching range of workshops including dance and movement, breathwork and sound healing, through  esoteric studies, to holistic health practitioner trainings. Looking forwards to the start of the academic year, we have had successful interactions with two local schools in Hertford. With a view to offering yoga classes to their 6th form students. 

We have taken our role as part of the community very seriously. We recognise that the legacy of the prolonged lock-down continues to impact people's lives. We continue to look for every opportunity to support people that need our help and believe we are truly privileged to be able to do so. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity has delivered services throughout the year, slowly increasing class attendance and donations as government restrictions were lifted. It reported an income of £101,007 from its activities. It has also received donations and support from a number of bodies to the value of £30,739. This has enabled The Secret Space to deliver its charitable purpose.

**THE SECRET SPACE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09161978)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have agreed a policy whereby unrestricted funds should be maintained at a level sufficient to cover the charity's expenses for a minimum of three months. This policy allows for a reduction in income during any part of the year whilst allowing the charity to continue performing its activities at the current level 

The balance carried forward in reserves as at 31 March 2023 was £18,872 (2022: £18,948). 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The increased cost of living including heating costs, interest rates and inflation, coupled with the remnants of Covid continues to affect attendance in yoga classes and therapy sessions. It has become clear that the model of  self-sufficiency from classes alone would not be sustainable and annual revenues going forward remain a mix in or around 70% classes and 30% donations. Pricing will need to be attractive to continue and improve attendance figures. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The Secret Space was a wholly owned subsidiary of Change, Grow, Live, which is also a registered charity, until 31 March 2021. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Secret Space is committed to equal opportunities and operates an open recruitment process to attract individuals with the necessary skill set and commitment to help us succeed. Applicants will be sought through advertisement and  are invited to a formal interview with the trustees as well as the business manager. References are taken up before an appointment is made. Trustees may serve up to two, three-year terms of office. All trustees would receive a full induction and participate in any on-going training events. 

The Trustees and Directors who served during the year and at the date of approval of the accounts were: 

Victoria Apperley Phil Massetti Siobhan Newmarch Sarah Astell 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises regular review of the principal risks and uncertainties  that the charity faces, the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified and the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise. These risks are focussed on both financial and non-financial risks (eg arising from fire, health and safety). 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 24 January 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SECRET SPACE LIMITED** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Secret Space Limited ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. 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 (FRS 102)). 

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 accounts to be reached.
