Renew wellbeing Trustees Report For the year ended 31[st] August 2022

Structure and Governance

Renew Wellbeing is registered with the Charity Commission, charity number 1173963 and from February 2020 with the Scottish Charity Regulator, charity number SC049975. The charity is governed under a constitution and operates as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). New trustees are selected and appointed by existing trustees.

The original Trustees were appointed in line with policy in the constitution. The trustees meet quarterly and all meetings are minuted. The trustees have attended Renew spaces and had training and experience in what the charity does. They have read and understood the duties and responsibilities of a charity trustee.

The Chair of trustees supervises the Director who is paid full time. The Director is responsible for the general running of the charity, visiting, training and supporting churches wanting to set up Renew spaces. The administrator is paid part time and works alongside the Director.

The charity has employed five part time Area Co-ordinators. Each Area Co-ordinator is building a team of volunteer local links. These links provide ongoing support and reviews to Renew spaces in their area. They are accountable to the Area Co-ordinator. Each Renew centre is run by hosts who are either volunteers attached to the local church or employees of the local church.

All the training to set up a Renew centre is delivered via online platforms with in person visits where possible. The Area coordinators for North, South, East, West of England and Wales oversee all centres in their wide geographical area. The Director oversees the work in Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and Scotland and following the departure of the Area Co-ordinator for South has also been covering that area on a temporary basis.

Summary of Objectives

Renew Wellbeing exists to raise awareness of mental and emotional health issues and train, support and encourage the church as it engages with its community in such issues. Renew Wellbeing wants to see an end to isolation and better mental health for all by training and supporting churches to open small quiet shared spaces where it’s OK not to be OK.

Summary of the main Activities

The charity works for the public benefit by enabling churches to set up spaces that are overtly inclusive of the whole community and most particularly of the needs of the most isolated, most anxious and most vulnerable people in their community. This is not benefitting churches, it is encouraging churches to serve and benefit society by sustaining simple quiet shared community spaces in partnership with existing mental health services.

Summary of the Main Achievements

Financial Review

The year to 31 August 2022 is the fifth year of activity for Renew Wellbeing CIO and the accounts for the year are set out in pages 8 to 9 of the Annual Report.

In the year, the charity has received grants and donations of £122,105 from a combination of sources, largely partner organisations, church projects and interested individuals. Where applicable, tax has been recovered from donations made under the Gift Aid scheme.

Payments made over the same period were £77,811. The largest portion (85%) of this was the cost to employ seven staff members (was 6 in the previous year). During the year, one additional Area Co-ordinator was employed directly by the charity. Previously she had been seconded to work with the charity, hence the increase in staff numbers. Other areas of cost have increased year on year as COVID restrictions were relaxed (eg Travel)

As a result of the above, the charity had an operating surplus of £44,294 compared to a deficit of £(10,013) in the previous year. Within this surplus was £14,400 that has been received to help fund next year’s activity (specifically to help fund the increase in the hours for the Administrator and the Area Co-ordinators) and hence has been shown within a Restricted Fund for staff costs.

Funds held by Renew Wellbeing CIO

The bulk of the money received is for the general use of the charity, to be used at the discretion of the Trustees to further the aims of the charity. However, some donations were received that were given to support specific items of expenditure and these are recorded as restricted funds in the accounts. There were two restricted funds in the accounts to August ’22:

Reserves Policy

The trustees do not seek to hold unnecessary funds that are in excess of the charity’s financial needs. In order to provide sufficient funds for working capital and to ensure the ability of the charity to continue operation in the event of funding being restricted, the Trustees consider that a general fund equivalent to six months operating expenditure is appropriate. This would be approximately £62,000 (based on the Budget for the 2022/23 financial year). The current balance on the general fund of £98,354 is in excess of the target value. The Budget for 2022/23 is set with a deficit of approximately £(10,000) which will decrease the value of the general fund by the end of the next financial year. Given this and also taking into account the current economic climate it is felt that no action should be taken to further manage the level of reserves.
