In addition, Trustees have this year approved the following organisational policies:

## **The purposes of the Charity as set out in its governing document** 

The relief of poverty and financial hardship of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in the United Kingdom for the public benefit by providing free and essential living items. Promoting the integration of Refugees and Asylum Seekers through the signposting of partner services for practical help in housing, legal advice and medical support. 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. 

## **Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in compliance with this guidance** 

- Free Shop and Welcome Hub 

- Activities groups, trips and retreats 

- Connections Befriending service – 3 – 4 connections programmes/year 

- Welfare – signposting, 1-1 support 

- Crisis Fund – practical or financial support with crisis 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the Charity during the year** 

The entire year presented extremely difficult challenges to all our services resulting from the Covid pandemic. These challenges were exacerbated by the support required by the many refugees arriving in Bristol from Afghanistan. 

However, due to sheer determination, hard work and huge support from the public and our community, the Aid Box Community team adapted to the ever-changing environment and demands. The team, with vital support from our volunteers, has continued to provide exceptional services that are having an enormous impact on the lives of many displaced people in Bristol including 190 people from Afghanistan and a further 250 people who are in temporary hotel accommodation across Bristol.

## **AID BOX COMMUNITY** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

Despite being forced to close our doors to the public due to Covid restrictions, we ensured continued access to basic essential items from our Free Shop by creating a Click and Delivery Service. Our Women's Group continued to run via Zoom, and we also connected people through our Connections programme online, thus helping those alone and isolated to stay in touch and feel supported. 

The support from the public, donors and volunteers has been astounding as always and we are ending the year in a strong position financially, with a very solid team, a flourishing community, and extremely positive feedback from our users about the impact our services are having on their lives. 

## **1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022** 

- We welcomed 1682 adults and 503 children to Aid Box Community and provided them with clothes and other basic living essentials. 

- Our Click and Delivery Service and Free Shop were accessed 1400 times. 

- We made 850 deliveries to people's homes or hotels. 

- 200 people benefited from our groups, trips and retreats. 

- 79 people were connected for friendship through our Connections programme. 

- We provided 1188 bus passes for people to access our services, legal and other important appointments. 

- In a survey of our service users, 95% said that ABC has had a positive impact on their life, with improvements in mental ill-health, increased feelings of inclusion and confidence in speaking English and making friends. 

## **Achievements against objectives set** 

At the start of the year, our assumptions around total numbers of refugees and asylum seekers that we would help was 1,704 but this included children. We can see from the figures above that we far exceeded this having almost met this target by supporting 1682 adults alone, with an additional 503 children supported.  This was a result of our additional efforts to meet the needs of the increased number of refugees arriving as we have already explained.  Fortunately given our tremendous fundraising success we were able to increase our staff capacity to deliver this need. 

## **Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set** 

Our initial income projections when the budget was approved for 21/22 was £233,424.  In fact, we raised £331,144 which we are immensely proud of especially given the difficulties in recruiting a Professional Fundraiser.  Some details are outlined below:

## **AID BOX COMMUNITY** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

Fundraising events and campaigns: 

In response to the Afghan crisis, we launched a Crowdfunder to help us expand our services to support the 190 people dispersed to Bristol hotels, and raised £25,000 including £10,000 from a private funder. 

As we emerged from lockdown, we quickly organised the following events: 

- 8 runners raised £7,000 taking part in the Bristol 10K 

- Muddy Madness raised £7,800 

- Our annual Refutrees Christmas trees fundraiser raised £30,000 

## **Contribution of volunteers** 

Volunteers are key to our existence as a charity. Without their considerable contribution we would be unable to operate. 

- 31 volunteers work weekly 

- 15 driver volunteers operated our Click and Delivery service and work on an ad hoc basis 

- 15 volunteers are also service users 

- 140 events volunteers run Refutrees, Muddy Madness and other smaller events 

- 65 Connections volunteers 

## **Financial Review** 

Our bank balance on 31 March 2022 was £236,164, representing a £100,000 increase over the previous end of year’s balance following a highly successful year of fundraising and increased activity. The end of year balance included £48,000 held as reserves (see update below), and £22,758 represented restricted funds carried forward to 2022-23. 

Trustees are mindful that £236,164 is a significant amount to carry forward for an organisation with operating costs of around £300,000 per year.  Given the success of our fundraising efforts this year we have been able to increase the scope of our work so the overall expenditure budget for 22/23 is £336,000, even though we project our income to be £278,000.  If realised this should reduce our carry forward considerably by the end of 22/23 to approximately £178,000.  This is still considerably higher than our target reserve but we consider this prudent given the economic uncertainty we are facing and the long term sustainability of the organisation.

## **AID BOX COMMUNITY** 

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Reserves** 

Aid Box Community has a new Reserves Policy which governs this important element of corporate governance and financial discipline. The policy is reviewed annually by Trustees. 

At the end of 2021.22, Aid Box Community held cash reserves of £48,000. We planned to increase the reserves at our March 2022 meeting, with the precise sum determined pending an in-depth review. This reserve fund is held in a separate account from the Charity’s main bank account which is used for working capital. 

Following a major financial review by the Treasurer and Finance team, the detailed costs and liabilities associated with a potential closure were carefully evaluated. As a result, the reserves held have been raised to £72,000 which the review found is sufficient to cover all our commitments for payroll, redundancy, suppliers and taxes due should we be faced with closure. This will ensure the least impact possible for our service users, staff, suppliers and stakeholders. The exercise will be repeated each year as per the Reserves Policy as an integral part of the annual budget setting process and any adjustments to the level of reserves held will be made as necessary. 

## **Funds received as agent or funds held as Custodian Trustee** 

There are no assets, classes of assets or categories of assets held on behalf of other entities. 

## **Independent Examiners** 

The Trustees confirm that to the best of their knowledge there is no information relevant to the independent examination of which the Examiners are unaware. The Trustees also confirm that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure that they themselves are aware of relevant examination information and that this information has been communicated to the Examiners. 

Joanne Trowbridge of Bristol Community Accountants CIC was appointed as the Charity’s Independent Examiner during the year. Joanne Trowbridge is a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are set out on pages 9-17. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** 

As the Trustees of the Charity, 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 2011 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **AID BOX COMMUNITY** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **1 Basis of Preparation** 

- a) These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective from 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP(FRS 102)) and with the Charities Act 2011. 

## b) Change in basis of preparation 

The charity trustees have chosen to prepare the finacial statements on the accruals basis. The trustees feel this results in the accounts providing more appropriate and relevant information about the financial performance of the charity. The prior year figures were prepared on a cash basis and have therefore been restated for comparison reason. 

- c) The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

- d) The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **2 Accounting Policies** 

- a) Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows: 

i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods. 

ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition have been met. 

- b) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred.  Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered. 

- c) Most expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities, and has been included in those cost categories. Support cost have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity. 

- d) Rentals applicable to operating lease agreements where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 

- e) Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees. 

- f) Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

- g) Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset. Depreciation is not charged in the year of purchase: Motor Vehicles       - 25% reducing balance 

- h) The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

- i) The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charitable company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contribution payable by the charitable company during the year.
