In setting the charity’s objectives and activities the trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit
Achievements and performance
This year we had the opportunity through private sponsorship to go full time with our charity. It was a great opportunity for us to make a huge difference to our homeless and vulnerable community.
From the beginning we see a lot of unforeseen challenges like everyone else. Our priorities changed overnight with Covid-19. Homelessness has always been a life-threatening situation but in March 2020 it became a public health emergency as people were exposed to Covid-19 on the streets. As a charity we worked all through the pandemic ensuring our homeless and vulnerable community were placed by the council into accommodation. Providing them with food, clothes, toiletries, bedding and household utensils. Our immediate priority was to make sure people were safe. We set up a delivery service to make sure all of our vulnerable clients that were shielding got a weekly delivery of food, which is still running.

(…/cont’d)
Achievements and performance (…/cont’d)
Evictions were temporarily put on hold, and housing benefit was increased to ensure that more people were not pushed onto the streets during the lockdown. However, this is a real concern as a lot of the placements will be reviewed after lockdown and these people have a real threat facing them, being made homeless yet again.
We have developed good working relationships with our local drug and alcohol units, mental health services, local GP services and surrounding councils.
Plans for the Future
Our future is unknown as we are still in the pandemic, however, one thing is for sure we have a dedicated team of staff, volunteers and amazing supporters.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS 102);
-
make judgements 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 financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of:
SUTTON NIGHT WATCH HOMELESS
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 4 to 9.
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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
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.
