**Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

During this report period we continued to experience difficulties in assisting our guests to find affordable, independent accommodation due to the rented housing crisis. This was made especially difficult by the four year freeze in the Local Housing Allowance (LHA), which resulted in us being unable to find any legal properties for private rent in Milton Keynes available at the level of the LHA. This created a bottleneck in our capacity due to reduced turnover, impacting the number of beds we could make available for people newly experiencing street homelessness in the city. We were very relieved to learn that the LHA freeze was to be lifted in April 2024, at the start of our next reporting period. We welcomed politicians from both Conservative and Labour to come and talk to us and see what we were doing. Felicity Buchan, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Housing and Homelessness visited our George House shelter accompanied by our then local MP Ben Everitt on 20 July 2023. We specifically discussed the challenges of the LHA rate and the challenges of homeless fathers to maintain relationships with their children. 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grant making; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

On 9 January we were visited by Emily Darlington, currently the Labour MP for Central Milton Keynes but at the time the Cabinet Member for Milton Keynes City Council with responsibility for homelessness. As well as explaining some of our challenges, we also raised with Ms Darlington our disappointment that MKCC were no longer operating the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol in as effective, open, and user-friendly way as it had done in past years. 

Considerable work was carried out by Trustees to look at the future direction of the Charity, refreshing our objectives and ensuring we remain focussed on supporting people in the very best way.  This has led to a renewed focus on the increasing demands on our service and how best we might meet that need. 

The scale of homelessness is growing nationally and in Milton Keynes. Working people are finding themselves at risk as well as those who were already struggling in today’s economic climate. The trustees were keen to expand TBSMK’s capacity in the knowledge that we were sadly unable to meet many of the requests for help received. In order to achieve this, the operational foundations of the organisation needed to be more robust for further expansion to be considered. During this report period there were a number of changes and developments within the staff team which further professionalised the service and increased its robustness and sustainability. 

The Board also recognised that given the charity’s growth and the ambition to develop services, paid senior leadership and back office resources would be required to deliver the strategic direction and enable board members to step back from day to day operations. This work started during the report period and is continuing, enabling some exciting developments for 2025/26. 

The Bus Shelter MK is extremely grateful to the incredible volunteers who support our guests and the organisation. Key volunteer activities include guest support, cooking, social media management, gardening, administration, counselling, graphic design, fundraising and many other ad hoc tasks.

Achievements and performance 

## Section D 

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

During the financial year 23/24, the charity maintained its total bedroom capacity at 21 in four locations across Milton Keynes.  The average length of stay for guests increased due to the challenges of finding safe affordable private rented accommodation within the city due to lack of available housing and the level of local housing allowance being out of line with rents in the private rented sector. 

We provided a temporary home and accompanying person centric support to 35 individuals who would otherwise have had no option but to sleep on the streets of Milton Keynes. This represents a decrease over 22/23, due to guests finding it very difficult to move into longer term accommodation. We also provided “floating support” to former guests to ensure they are able to maintain their tenancies. This ongoing support, which is not time limited but determined by need, has ensured a large proportion of our former guests successfully maintain tenancies for 12 months or longer, rather than slip back into street or insecure homelessness, the well reported “revolving door of homelessness”. Additionally, we provided advice, referrals and signposting to over 300 people calling our enquiry line. 210 were self-referrals and 85 professionals from other agencies.  We aimed to assist callers to avoid or deal with homelessness where we were unable to offer accommodation. We are finding the number of calls increasing and cases becoming more complex. Relationship breakdowns and loss of employment were the most usual causes of homelessness during this period. 

Guests who were able to move into their own accommodation were assisted to set up their new homes with items such as furniture, bedding, flooring, kitchen equipment etc. and offered floating support to help them settle into their new home and maintain their tenancy. Our greatest successes were for guests over 55 years of age as there is some availability of social housing in that category within Milton Keynes. Former guests are always encouraged to contact our support team if they encounter challenges, irrespective of the time elapsed since they moved on or were last in touch with the charity. The Bus Shelter MK is committed to continue to deliver real, long-lasting change for some of the most vulnerable members of our local community.

## **Section E** 

## **Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

The Charity’s reserves policy is to ensure that unrestricted funds not presently committed or invested should be maintained at the level equivalent to 9 months’ expenditure to enable the charity to continue pursuing its activities should there be a period of reduced income. For the period under review, unrestricted reserves carried forward is sufficient to meet operating expenditure for the next 10 months (2023: 7 months). 

This excludes reserves designated for internal projects which can be redesignated by the Board of Trustees for operational expenditure (service delivery) should the need arise. ‘Designated reserves’ are retained for building plans, on site development at George House and other necessary work to benefit and enhance service delivery objectives including a building fund for plans to increase our capacity to host guests 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

There are no funds that are materially in deficit 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; 

- investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. 

The Board of Trustees is extremely grateful to all those who have supported The Bus Shelter MK financially during the reporting period, whether trusts, foundations, corporates, or individuals. Without their support we could be unable to deliver our crucial services – services which help people turn their lives around, and undoubtedly in some cases, save lives. 

It is impossible to name all our generous supporters here, but some donors of note during FY 2023/2024 include: 

Lloyds Bank Foundation The David Family Foundation Sava Limited Dentons Charitable Trust The Betty Phillips Charitable Trust Blum UK CEO Sleepout Aviva/Solus via Crowdfunder Evelyn May Trust Fairhive Lush Retail Mazars Charitable Trust Roger Jefcoate Quaker MK Thames Valley Police Community Fund Christopher & Kirsty Johnston Charitable Trust The Oliver Borthwick Memorial Trust 

The Trustees would also like to extend its thanks to the small staff team who are at the frontline of service, working with and supporting guests on a day to day basis. Without their enthusiasm, expertise, empathy, and commitment, we could not  deliver all that we do.

An acknowledgement too, for each Trustee that has and continues to serve on our Board. Their willingness to roll up their sleeves and get things done has enabled The Bus Shelter MK to become what it has, serving the most vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals in Milton Keynes. 

The charity receives exempt housing benefit which covers the basic cost of the accommodation provided. This housing benefit does not however cover any of the vital support provided (support which is conditional for the exempt housing benefit to be received). All this assistance, including food, advice, practical help, advocacy with official bodies, finding and setting up long term housing etc. are paid for by money raised through a wide range of fundraising activity or provided by volunteers. 

In line with the charity’s strategic goal of increasing its capacity of temporary accommodation, The Bus Shelter MK is building a property fund which has been ring-fenced for this purpose.
