Chairperson’s overview

A significant year for Hartlepower CIO! Despite the ravages of Covid 19 we were able to make great strides in developing the work of the charity, in three main ways-working closely with the local authority, Hartlepool Borough Council, on a number of initiatives including to do with tackling poor health, food poverty, unemployment and ‘community reengagement’; developing the capacity of local VCS ( Voluntary and Community Sector) bodies; and, in partnership with our ‘sister’ organisation, Hartlepower CIC, establishing our second and much larger social enterprise centre,Energy Hub 2. We doubled our staff numbers and took on two secondees from the local authority.

Yet there remains much to do in our mission of helping relieve poverty in Hartlepool. Covid and rising food and fuel prices are putting increased strains on people already beleaguered.We cannot solve every problem in our own, which is why our partnership working is so important. Together, we have a chance of at least improving the lot of, if not all, of many families and individuals in Hartlepool.

The following summarises our current main areas of work and on behalf of the board I would like to especially acknowledge the dedication of our staff team, over two years now, in getting Hartlepower to where it is today and making it the success it is.

Peter Gowland Chairperson October,2021

Main work areas

VCS Development Team provides the following:

CLIP (Community-Led Inclusion Partnership)-

CLIP is a collaborative network formed of Hartlepool VCS organisations concerned with disability – supported by the Hartlepower VCS Development Team. CLIP aims to make Hartlepool more inclusive, their approach being informed by the social model of disability – i.e. that people are disabled by virtue of the barriers that society places in their way rather than anything inherently “wrong” with them. Hartlepower hosts CLIP’s Inclusion Lead – Tracie Bestford – who facilitates the voice of people living with long term conditions, disabilities, sensory loss, as well as their carers. Work to date includes input into new Changing Places, the Summerhill Accessible Bike Track and the proposed new Highlight Leisure Centre – input ranging from building practicalities to workforce development.

Covid Community Champions

We host Hannah Goodman, COVID Champion Engagement Officer, for Hartlepool Borough Council. Her role, alongside a parallel HBC officer based in Hartlepool’s Central Hub, is to disseminate complex government and public health information, simply, briefly and to the point. The information is distributed to volunteers signed up as Community Champions – currently over 100 are registered – who share the information in their own communities, organisations and workplaces. Recent feedback from a refugee housing provider has been how invaluable they’ve found the information to pass on to tenants – including drop-in vaccination points and any changes in government advice and guidance. This community engagement model demonstrates potential for other public health messaging.

Community – Led Business Project

The post of Community-Led Business Development Officer (Craig Greathead) is funded by HBC’s Adult Social Care commissioners, who are

exploring alternatives to the current model of social care provision. The role complements the work of a panel of Hartlepool VCS organisations working with HBC. The panel is looking to discover new, creative ways to provide social care that enable people to thrive at home, supported within their own communities, rather than through intensive and expensive “care packages”. Craig’s work has included the formation of several businesses and community groups that provide activities based on social interaction and wellbeing – such as The Bear Ladies – a project bringing together socially isolated individuals around a craft theme – woodwork for adults with learning needs and pet therapy sessions.

Hartlepool Food Council

The Food Council involves the co-ordination of agencies involved in the distribution of food, especially food surpluses, to help address food poverty and nutritional & health needs. The VCS Development Team hosts the Hartlepool Food Council Co-ordinator, Julie Ann Collin.

HFIP (Hartlepool Financial Inclusion Partnership)-

The VCS Development Team hosts the Hartlepool Financial Inclusion Partnership’s Co-ordinator, Dawn Watson. The Partnership brings together advice agencies, utility companies, social landlords, credit unions and other organisations concerned with addressing financial exclusion and the impact of financial hardship.

Victoria Ward Partnership

The Partnership is a collaborative network of VCS & statutory organisations, including the local authority and police, directing attention on Hartlepool’s Victoria ward. Staff are currently being appointed to help address a number of issues within the ward.

Volunteer support, adult education/community Learning & Hartlepool Now

the website – which can be populated & updated by organisations from any sector – as the best available portal for discovering what’s available in the town, whether by the general public or agencies.

Public benefit

The Charity Commission’s guidance regarding public benefit when making decisions continued to be applied

Financial review

The National Lottery’s Community Fund continued to be our principal funding source complemented as last year by additional funding from its Covid 19 fund. The Lloyds Bank Foundation made a very welcome funding contribution, over two years, which enabled us in particular to increase our development staff’s working hours to expand on our infrastructure support. A number, again as in the last twelve months, of charitable trusts also contributed to particular projects.

We have reserves-almost £37,000- to call on and wish to continue to build on these, both for future projects and, if need be, for our core work. At the time of writing we are in the process of approaching potential funders to sustain the work of the charity; and lettings income from Energy Hub 1 will contribute significantly to this end.

Future work plans

In last year’s annual report we identified seven areas of future work and the following is an update:

1.Develop Broadband Access Programme:re-named Get Connected and again kindly supported by the Lottery’s Community Fund, this has been taken up by our ‘sister’ body, Hartlepower CIC. Affordable ‘pay as you go’ broadband is being made available to people who up till now were ‘digitally excluded’,missing out on services many of us take for granted. Having broadband in your home seems to be now an essential utility such as gas or electricity.

2.Wheels to Work: the scheme set out to provide electric bikes to enable people to get to work,training and educational facilities. A shortage of bikes prevented development of the scheme, re-launched as E Motor Bikes but which we did not participate in. However, please see (7) below. 3.Establish Energy Hubs 2&3. Achieved! We took over the leasing of two more buildings to provide additional space for new and existing social/ business enterprises to develop and, in the case of hub 2, to create a bigger base for our growing VCS unit. Both properties require refurbishing and the work is underway.

  1. Expand VCS network/services-please see above.

  2. LARCH ( Local Access Redcar, Cleveland and Hartlepool-please see above

  3. Greatham Solar Village initiative: we undertook a consultation exercise to examine the feasibility of setting up a solar farm in the village which would not only provide ‘clean’ energy but help generate funds to sustain our operation.To be pursued..

7.Electric Scooter ‘roll-out’. Hartlepower CIC runs this initiative now with over thirty locations across Hartlepool where electric scooters are deployed, for use by anyone with a driving licence. The scheme is part of a national pilot established by the Ginger company. As the world moves more and more towards electrification, especially regarding transport, projects such as this are we feel well worth supporting.

For the future we will remain alert to new ideas and suggestions and act on same wherever we can.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

Achievements and performance

The accounts show an increase of income over the last year, principally down to the National Lottery awarding additional funding under its Covid-19 response fund,to help replace the loss of income we experienced like many charities as a result of the pandemic.

Our financial outlook has not changed and we have been able to proceed pretty much as normal. We also have the security of Lottery funding for the next two years and a long-term (fifteen year) lease on our base,the Energy Hub.

We have several initiatives in the pipeline and the separate annual report details these and the rest of the work over the year.

We envisage no major budgetary changes to our operation, certainly in the short (ie next two to three years) term.

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities show a deficit for the year of £7,216; (2020 - surplus for the year of £45,199) and reserves stand at £57,416; (2020- £64,632).

The Unrestricted free reserves of the charity (i.e. not tied up with fixed assets) amount to £36,759:(2020 - £47,364).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartlepower CIO

Year ended 30 June 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hartlepower CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 June 2021

1. General information

The charity is registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Dimensional House, Hartlepool, TS24 7QT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Draft Accounts

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Hartlepower CIO

Year ended 30 June 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

Trustees' Annual Report (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2021

Achievements and performance

The accounts show an increase of income over the last year, principally down to the National Lottery awarding additional funding under its Covid-19 response fund,to help replace the loss of income we experienced like many charities as a result of the pandemic.

Our financial outlook has not changed and we have been able to proceed pretty much as normal. We also have the security of Lottery funding for the next two years and a long-term (fifteen year) lease on our base,the Energy Hub.

We have several initiatives in the pipeline and the separate annual report details these and the rest of the work over the year.

We envisage no major budgetary changes to our operation, certainly in the short (ie next two to three years) term.

Financial review

The Statement of Financial Activities show a deficit for the year of £7,216; (2020 - surplus for the year of £45,199) and reserves stand at £57,416; (2020- £64,632).

The Unrestricted free reserves of the charity (i.e. not tied up with fixed assets) amount to £36,759:(2020 - £47,364).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartlepower CIO

Year ended 30 June 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hartlepower CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 30 June 2021

1. General information

The charity is registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Dimensional House, Hartlepool, TS24 7QT.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Hartlepower CIO

Year ended 30 June 2021

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Equipment - 20% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
