Networks and partnerships

Bringing VCS groups together is one of the core functions of an infrastructure support body and the following are examples:

Tees Vally Infrastructure Partnership

We meet weekly with the LIO’s representing Middlesbrough, Redcar, the rural areas of the Tees valley, and Stockton and Billingham, where our conversations centre on opportunities to improve Teesside as a sub-region.

Hartlepool Food Council (HFC)

The HFC is an open network of the town’s food providers including those who provide food parcels and free or low cost offers. We continue to facilitate the network – which has now been incorporated into the Hartlepool Food Partnership.

Join the Movement

The facilitation of VCS and related services to help people in Hartlepool to become more physically active. On board are VCS, public health bodies, other active partnerships and sports clubs, either based in the town or serving the

area. This is initial support until partners take over responsibility for the running of the group.

The Food Partnership

Work has continued with key agencies with the aim of Hartlepool becoming a Sustainable Places Town, examining and developing food, nutrition, growing and other themes. We now employ its (part-time) co-ordinator, responsible for food mapping and procurement.

Young Persons Social Prescribing Steering Group/Other

Funded through a collaboration between VONNE (Voluntary Organisations Network North East) and the ICB (Integrated Care Board), the group helps to support the social development, emotional well being, cognitive growth and overall quality of life of young people. Participation in such activities helps contribute to a more inclusive and supportive community for individuals of all abilities. The officer responsible for taking this forward established an SEN (Special Educatonal Needs) night at the Geek Retreat, a board/card game recreational facility in the Hartlepool town centre and has continued to support it.

She has also and as regards ‘capacity building’ more widely assisted in setting up Hartlepool Helpers, a peer-supported group of volunteers wishing to help others in need;is helping develop an App around the theme of movement to encourage physical activity in children and young people, utilising Hartlepool’s assets such as community centres, parks, museums and historic buildings; nurtured the development of a Teesside-wide group to campaign for more accessible transport for people with additional needs; and is seeking funding for bereavement support for young people including those whom are SEND (Special Educational Needs Disabilities)/ non-verbal.

Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys Mental Health Trust Community Transformation coordination

The North East & North Cumbria Integrated Care Board’s “Community Transformation” of adult mental health services ensures the voluntary sector and people with lived experience in the town play a leading and equal role alongside statutory providers of adult mental health services. The two Hartlepower Community Trust Co-lead officers coordinate the initiative.

Research, collation and distribution of information of interest and value to the sector

Our Project Support Officer continues to be responsible for the promoting of information to the Hartlepool voluntary sector, providing one-to-one social media support to groups and promoting our own initiatives such as enabling groups to contribute to wider discussions on issues and ideas. Since our last annual report we now have a distribution list of around 480 email subscribers and a social media account reaching up to 20,000 people in some of the posts. We are also asked on a regular basis to provide information and introductions

to the sector from university-linked research teams. The officer continues to be jointly responsible for the production of:

Free Food Tuesday

Our Free Food Tuesday at the café in Energy Hub 1 came to an end in January this year and which had provided a free hot sandwich to anyone in need along with welfare benefits/other advice, to enable people to access welfare benefits they may be entitled to but were unaware of.

UK Research & Innovation (UKRI) Community Research Network

Following a successful bid to UKRI in 2023 to become one of only 25 pilot Community Research Networks across the UK, we have established a network of disability-focussed organisations interested in participatory research. Teesside University is our research partner. We have now bid for the substantive, 5 year funding to establish and develop a Disability Community Research Network across the Tees Valley.

Sport England “Place Partnership” initiative

Sport England is charged with allocating funds from the National Lottery Community Fund to places where relative physical inactivity is contributing to poor health outcomes and where there exist striking health inequalities. Hartlepool meets both criteria, unfortunately. Alongside Tees Valley Sport and Hartlepool Borough Council, we are developing the whole system approach required by Sport England, drawing on our experience of similar collaborative work over the past 5 years.

Victoria Ward initiative

Hartlepool’s Victoria Ward has the highest number of children in care in the town and the most ‘mobile’ community, many people coming to the area for the first time from other parts of the country and indeed other parts of the world. Through the Lottery’s Know Your Neighbourhood initiative we have been able to extend our community engagement work under the theme of

intergenerational cohesion, bringing families and older people together to help improve in a variety of ways the place they live in. We were very grateful for an additional grant from the Mercer’s Charity, facilitated by the Key Fund, to expand on the work in the ward over the next year.

Greatham Demonstrator Home

Now in its second year this project saw the installation of solar panels and an air-source heat pump in the Greatham village home of an elderly man living on his own with several medical conditions, to help reduce his fuel costs, the National Energy Action body assisting with monitoring same.

LARCH

We continue to be members of the management board of LARCH (Local Access Redcar and Cleveland and Hartlepool) which provides developmental support to fledgling and expanding social enterprises in the two unitary authority areas, LARCH’s aim being to help stimulate the social economy.

The impact we hope to have

Improving the capacity and resilience of the Hartlepool voluntary sector in meeting local needs is our fundamental aim. This includes helping people to become ‘active citizens’ and facilitating their access to the information, advice and guidance they often need to achieve this. In the process they become more skilled, competent and confident- as individuals they benefit as does their ‘community of interest’, whatever that might be.

Future plans

We will continue to provide infrastructure support to the Hartlepool voluntary sector well into the future we hope. We will respond to the needs of VCS groups as they arise but also continue to be part of ‘strategic’ fora working alongside other agencies to find lasting solutions to local issues.

We will maintain our Sector Connector, newsletter and funder fair initiatives and all of our ‘bread and butter’ services to groups but will be active participants in new ways of working which continue to arise as agencies seek ways of addressing Hartlepool’s challenges.

We have been unable to extend our capacity to award more significant grants (we have made several ‘lower-case’ ones) to local VCS causes, but remain hopeful we can do so eventually. We will also continue to accept grants on behalf of non-registered charitable bodies.

Our priority remains that of securing ‘continuation’ funding to maintain our own services. In June we held an Away Day- for staff and trustees, inviting Hartlepower CIC directors too- and which was independently facilitated by the TGI consultancy, to plan for the future direction of the charity. A full report on the day’s findings is freely available on request. Key areas identified for consideration included:

Establishing a volunteer brokerage/matching service Creating a youth enterprise development officer post Becoming more engaged in environmental action projects

Reviewing the Greenbank premises and what they offer, whilst considering alternatives including re-modelling/relocating the VCS unit

Place-based working and systems change-investigating the merits/potential issues involved

Other ‘big ideas’ flagged-up but not discussed in detail were: Becoming a membership organisation Charging for services

Increasing the engagement in research and pilot programmes

Staffing

‘Core’: we have two development officers and a project support worker who make up the core staff of the VCS development team.

‘Project’: we employ two part-time engagement workers for Hartlepool’s Victoria Ward (funded via the Lottery’s Know Your Neighbourhood initiative), one of whom is also a part time Young Person’s Social Prescribing Development Officer; the CLIP development officer; and a part-time Hartlepool Food Partnership Co-ordinator (Food Mapping and Procurement).

Greenbank

Thanks to the continued support of Hartlepower CIC, Greenbank continues to be our home.

Facilities there include meeting rooms, free parking and internet, electric charge points and a vehicle for free use by tenants and staff. Our VCS services to groups continue to remain free of charge.

We also have funding guides available for organisations and a room for confidential meetings.

Greenbank is an ideal location for our work and well known across Hartlepool, itself being located in an area of high deprivation.

Volunteers

In the year two volunteers helped with such things as food distribution, cleaning and grounds maintenance; and a third, a counsellor, was on hand to provide emotional guidance to staff.

We have a volunteers handbook setting out terms and conditions and their daily expenses remain at £5.00 per session.

Financial and overall performance

There were no financial concerns or issues to report in the period of this report. We have a reserve of £23,966 to draw on to aid in our sustainability. In terms of our overall performance we believe we continued to meet our charitable aims satisfactorily.

Potential risks and sustainability

As last year the main risk to the charity would be the lack of funding to keep the VCS unit running. However, thanks to Hartlepower CIC via its lettings income, we will continue to receive a substantial proportion of same in perpetuity. If the CIC can secure funding to purchase the Greenbank estate this will free-up additional income it currently pays in rent to Camerons Brewery (the owners of the property) to contribute to the charity. We will also continue to generate management fees through the various projects we oversee. We have with our accountant established a working group to monitor the financial situation of the charity and plan for the future.

Another potential risk is that of ‘staff burn out’ and we have engaged a volunteer, a qualified counsellor, to provide continuing emotional and other support to any staff member, indeed volunteer, experiencing difficulties in the workplace or indeed outside of it. We also buy-in on an occasional basis additional HR support to help with such things as contractual/employment issues.

The sharing of learning

Our Sector Connector, newsletter, social media postings and leaflets enabled us to continue to impart news and information across the Hartlepool voluntary sector, indeed beyond it. We are also members of the Tees Valley Infrastructure Partnership, a regular coming together of like-minded agencies which affords the opportunity to share ideas and developments of use to the sector. The above Innovate UK research results will subsequently be farmed out to other universities/agencies.

Other fora we are involved in and which enables the sharing of information include the Health and Well Being Alliance, the Hartlepool Financial Inclusion Partnership, the Hartlepool Food Partnership Open Forum (see also above),the Hartlepool and Stockton Child Safeguarding Partnership, the Teesside Adult Safeguarding Board and the Hartlepool Housing Strategy (workshop).

Our Demonstrator Home experience has been shared with National Energy Action.

The VCS office also accommodates on a ‘hot-desk’ basis other bodies/initiatives such as the local authority’s Volunteer Officer, LARCH (see above),Sported, CLIP, HEET, the Home Energy Efficiency Teesside initiative and THRIVE Teesside.

We also became members of NAVCA, the National Association for Voluntary and Community Action.

All of this affords the ready opportunity to network and share information between agencies both locally and further afield.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

We adopted as a board our first equality policy over a year ago and, on the recommendation of the consultant undertaking the production of the business plan for our ‘sister’ body, revised it and adopted a more appropriate model thereafter and which was far more encompassing and relevant to our work. We have striven for an equal male/female balance of board members and continue to seek representation from other organisations and individuals, in particular the BME community.

In terms of group work in the community we continue to support BME bodies such as the Asylum Seekers and Refugees group, Transformers HPL (promoting Black history and culture) and Sanctuary Rangers (a refugee/asylum seeker football team).

The Hartlepool Chinese Association enjoy their Chinese Moon celebration in the Greenbank board room.

It has again we feel been a successful year, with the VCS unit increasingly seen as the ‘go-to’ place for help in setting up a new or developing an existing group. Strong, meaningful relationships have been formed with a variety of agencies, statutory and voluntary, including some outside of Hartlepool such as Innovate UK. Such relationships also include with funders such as the Ballinger and PFC trusts and the Teesside Charity. As regards the Lottery, we remain deeply indebted to it for having the faith in our work to fund us for a second time: without such support we would have struggled to continue.

The Charitable Objects of Hartlepower Community Trust

  1. To prevent or relieve poverty by providing grants, items and services to individuals in need and/ or charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty.

  2. To promote any charitable purposes for the benefit of the public and, in particular, build the capacity of third sector organisations and provide them with the necessary support, information and services to enable them to pursue or contribute to any charitable purpose.

We welcomed new trustee Helen Hogg in February to the board and have plans to increase both its size and skill base further in the coming months. The organisation’s constitution was amended in August 2023 by Special Resolution, duly confirmed by the Charity Commission.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartlepower Community Trust CIO

Year ended 30 June 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hartlepower Community Trust CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2024.

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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Greenbank, Hartlepool, TS24 7QS.

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.

Hartlepower Community Trust CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2024

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.

8

Hartlepower Community Trust CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2024

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:

Short leasehold property - 20% straight line 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Hartlepower Community Trust CIO

Year ended 30 June 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hartlepower Community Trust CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 30 June 2024.

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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 2024

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is Greenbank, Hartlepool, TS24 7QS.

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.

Hartlepower Community Trust CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 30 June 2024

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:

Short leasehold property - 20% straight line 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.
