## **THE PEOPLE HIVE**
## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT**
## **FINANCIAL YEAR APRIL 2021 TO MARCH 2022**
## **Overview**
The Charity has had another successful year helped in no small part by the progressive relaxation of COVID regulations during the year. However, COVID was and is still with us and in many respects it has remained challenging for the organisation, our staff, and volunteers. It has also been particularly difficult for our clients.
The Charity exists to provide resources and facilities to meet the needs of adults with learning disabilities. Delivering these in the last year has remained difficult. However, we were able to progressively restart these over the course of the year and our CEO Samantha Fyn, her staff and volunteers worked tirelessly and creatively to support our clients as best we could, given the restrictions imposed upon us.
Our High Street presence (in Twickenham) continues to provide many opportunities for our clients, both in The Gallery and behind the scenes. It also supports the local community by providing a place for local artists to sell their goods and, most importantly, raises public awareness about adults with learning disabilities.
We were able to reopen the Gallery from 12 April 2021 and have been delighted to see that support from our customers has remained strong with our net takings comfortably exceeding the budget expectation with particularly strong performances in November and December 2021.
The Trustee Board has been and continues to be active in monitoring and modelling the potential financial impact of the pandemic. However, on the basis of our 2022/23 budget projections, including existing grant funding and new funding already confirmed, we believe that we will remain financially robust through the new financial year.
Our COVID 19 Impact Statement on page 9 of the accounts describes in more detail our response to the pandemic, what we have been able to achieve and our projection for the coming year.
## **Our Activity Based Projects**
Our CEO Samantha Fÿn continues to drive the Charity’s direction. She will address the Annual General Meeting on the detail of the opportunities the Charity has been able to create despite the challenges faced in the last financial year, as well as our Charity’s goals to support those with a learning disability. In the meantime, Samantha is planning to provide a report in October 2022 detailing what The People Hive has achieved in the last year to support our clients.

## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT**
## **FINANCIAL YEAR APRIL 2021 TO MARCH 2022 (continued)**
## **Finances**
In comparison with 2020/21 our end year financial position has been disappointing with a deficit of £61,346 entailing drawing on our reserves which we had been able to build in the previous financial year.
However, this result was not unexpected as in 2021/22 we received the final tranche of our three year National Lottery grant with only one payment during 2021/22 instead of the usual two. We also suffered from lower income from our activities and workshops as a direct result of COVID.
We have been working hard to replace the National Lottery funding and during 2021/22 received new ‘one off’ grants from both OneRichmond and the Edward Gostling Foundation totalling £20,000. We were also very grateful for the continued support from the Hampton Fund whose current grant runs until April 2023.
During 2022/23 to date we have received new grants from the Baily Thomas Charitable Fund, the Will Trust and the Garfield Weston Foundation totalling £40,000. However a significant funding gap remains and we will be very actively seeking additional grants to close this and in particular grants for a two or three year period to improve our resilience.
The details are contained within the Trustees’ Report and the Financial Statements.
## **Trustee Board**
Changes proposed to the Trustee Board are as follows:
We are pleased to welcome both Mandy Lenheim and Hugh Evans who joined the Board in February 2022.
Helen Hayhoe, an artist and qualified Makaton teacher who runs the Makachat group, resigned as a Trustee in March 2022 for personal reasons, however we are delighted that she will continue to support The People Hive as an artist and volunteer.
We remain very interested in applications from anyone who may like to join the Trustee Board, particularly if they feel they have the skills and experience to help take the Charity with its existing and planned projects. Anyone who would like more information should contact any of the Trustees or the Chief Executive.

## **CHAIRMAN'S REPORT**
## **FINANCIAL YEAR APRIL 2021 TO MARCH 2022 (continued)**
## **Our staff and volunteers**
We could not, of course, have achieved all this without the continued dedication and commitment of our small staff team, our volunteers and the artists who display in the Gallery and frequently also volunteer. In particular, the response of staff and volunteers to the challenges posed by the pandemic have been magnificent. With total volunteer hours now equivalent to the hours worked by our salaried employees, the importance of volunteers to our Charity cannot be understated. We are continually seeking individuals who support our aims and are able to offer some time commitment however small.
## **Our Future**
We remain determined to continue with our objective of helping people with a learning disability. We are also confident that we will be able to organise the resources in order to enable the Charity to do that. It is the lot of any small charity that it is unable to look too far into the future, particularly in relation to the certainty of funding, but raising the required finance continues to be one of our most urgent priorities and, in this regard, we will not take our collective foot from the pedal; we will do everything in our power to secure a continuing bright future for our Charity.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued)**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)**
The freehold property bequeathed to the Charity and referenced in Note 18 of the financial statements has, as stated, been reclassified from a contingent asset to a tangible fixed asset. However, in recognition of the hope and belief of the donor, but acknowledging that the bequest imposes no binding obligation on the Charity, the Trustees have agreed to provide accommodation in the property for the donor’s child for as long as it remains possible for the Charity to do so. The property does not therefore represent an immediate financial benefit to the Charity while that situation remains.
## **Investment Powers and Policy**
The Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Trust give the Trustees the power to make any investment it deems fit.
At 31 March 2022 the Trust held investments managed by a professional fund manager and continues to hold those investments. The investments are held in mixed asset classes in order to maintain a medium level of risk and with the aim of achieving a measurably higher return than might be expected from cash deposits which currently attract a low return. This to preserve the 'real' value of the Trust's reserves in an inflationary economic environment.
The level of invested reserves and their performance is regularly reviewed to ensure that the level of risk is appropriate to the aims of the Trust and to ensure that the Trust maintains the correct balance between invested funds and liquid cash deposits.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Trust's policy concerning the level of Reserves is to have funds available to:
- meet expenditure and liabilities as they fall due
- meet emergencies
- manage contingencies
## **Reclassification**
In 2021, grants receivable of £189,477 and £56,451 were presented within income from charitable activities and income from other trading activities respectively. These amounts have been reclassified and presented within income from donations and legacies.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued)**
## **COVID19 Impact Statement for financial year 2021/22:**
## **Impact:**
Following instructions from the UK government on 23[rd] March 2020 the premises in Heath Road were closed and we immediately ceased the provision of our activities and workshops. The management and administration of the charity continued on the basis of home working and telephone/video conferences. We have subsequently followed all government guidance in respect of both the relaxation and reimposition of COVID restrictions insofar as they affect our operations.
In accordance with government regulations, the Gallery in Heath Road was able to re-open on 12[th] April 2021.
The management and administration continued to be handled remotely in the main however as the year progressed staff returned full or part time to the Heath Road premises.
During the period of restrictions, staff and volunteers were maintaining phone contact with all our clients and providing appropriate support where feasible. Samantha Fÿn as CEO was keeping in telephone contact with all staff to check their welfare.
The immediate financial impact was the loss of income from the fee income derived from our activities for part of the year due to closure of venues and social distancing requirements. The Gallery income remained encouraging. Our net income from activities was negatively affected by approximately £8,500 against budget.
These impacts are reflected in the financial statements.
## **Mitigation and progress:**
To mitigate the impact the CEO and Board have, as throughout the pandemic, continued to proactively identify all available financial support from both national and local government. We have maintained regular contact with and provided updates to, our current major funders – the Hampton Fund and the National Lottery as well as the local authority.
- We have received a £5,200 non-essential business re-start grant from the local authority.
- We continued to utilise the HMRC Job Retention Scheme until its closure on 30/9/21 and progressively brought staff out of furlough.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued)**
## **COVID 19 Impact Statement for the financial year 2021/22 (continued)**
## **Projection:**
We have projected our cash flow through the financial year 2022/ 23 on the assumption that the government’s ‘Living with COVID strategy’ remains unchanged and that no mandatory restrictions on business operations or behaviour will be re imposed. However, it is recognised that this is this is subject to change as new variants emerge. We have assumed a ‘normal’ (pre COVID’) level of income from commission sales from the Gallery and activities and workshops.
Although we are able to generate some of our own income, it remains the case that the majority of our income is derived from funding grants and we have confirmed funding up to and including April 2023 which will enable us to continue to operate as a going concern.
It is clear that the situation for organisations like ours will remain very challenging and projecting with any certainty is difficult. However, on the basis of the above and recognising some reductions in our variable costs, we are forecasting that the end financial year position at 31[st] March 2023 will be within our budget projections for the year 2022/23 and believe that our reserves position will remain healthy and consistent with our Reserves Policy.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES**
The Members of the Trust (who are also directors of The People Hive for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards ('United Kingdom
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE PEOPLE HIVE**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 14 to 24.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the ‘2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s report**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those accounting records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
- (4) the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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.
