HOPE INTO ACTION, READING TRUSTEES/DIRECTORS REPORT and ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Charity’s objectives are for the public benefit and are specifically to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods, or services of any kind, including the provision of accommodation in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit.
Hope into Action: Reading (HiAR) is a Christian housing charity with the objective of breaking the cycle of housing poverty in Reading. HiAR is a franchise of Hope into Action UK (formerly Hope into Action East of England) (see section on Structure and Governance). We enable churches to provide homes for those who find themselves without a home. In the period covered by this report, we maintained three houses. The tenants have been supported by paid ‘Empowerment Workers’ (EWs) who keep the tenants focused on maintaining their tenancy, building networks of support around them, accessing public funds, and, if applicable, maintaining employment.
Each house is also partnered with a local church providing a team of volunteers, the ‘Friendship and Support (F&S) team’ who befriend the tenants and help in the process of widening their social network. The EWs and F&S team meet with the tenants on a weekly basis, sometimes more often.
The tenants are provided with support in the following areas: maintaining their tenancy; recidivistic behaviors; substance misuse, addiction, recovery and self-harming; physical health in relation to doctors’ appointments, general health, and well-being; mental health and wellbeing including confidence and selfesteem as well as more pronounced mental health issues; encouraging them to get involved in volunteering and social activities; education, employment and training appropriate to the individual; improving family relationships where they have broken down; finance, budgeting, and debt assistance.
HiAR provides housing by finding people who are prepared to invest sums of money in buying a house which is then leased to the charity. The investors receive a small return on their investment (2%) which they receive monthly or quarterly.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The last year has seen a return to normal working practices as the Covid-19 pandemic and accompanying restrictions wound down. The first half of the year involved a lot of hard work and the excitement of managing the HiAR third house project. The purchase completed at the end of September 2021, followed by the refurbishment to prepare the house for HiAR tenants. In December 2021, HiAR was able to open its third house for homeless men. Since then, the house has been occupied by 1 tenant with complex physical and mental health support needs.
The women’s house has operated at full capacity (3 women + 1 child) for the majority of the year, as has the other men’s house (4 men). Both of the men’s houses are well supported by English Martyrs, St James and St William of York Roman Catholic churches; and the women’s house by St John & St Stephen’s Anglican church.
The year has also been one of change for the staff of HiAR. Mary Lewis took up her post as Franchise Lead in January 2021. Marta Gibas was appointed as an EW in August 2021 and Louise Cross left her post as EW in September 2021. Mary and Marta work hard to support the residents, helping them into new accommodation as that becomes possible.
FUTURE PLANS
We hope that in the next year – or maybe in the one after that – we can open another house and employ another EW as the work expands. Negotiations have opened with another church in Reading who are redeveloping their site, including plans to build housing for the homeless on the site, which they have earmarked for HiAR residents.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
In the prior year, HiAR’s income was significantly boosted by grant funding, the majority attracted thanks to the input of a professional fundraiser employed for a one-off exercise. In the current year ended 31 March 2022, a similar exercise was not carried out as funds from the previous exercise were still being utilised. This is the main contributing factor as to why, in the current year, the charity’s expenditure has exceeded its income.
Rental income in the current year has increased from the prior year as a result of a 3[rd] house opening and the other houses being at full occupancy for the majority of the year.
In terms of expenditure, some costs for HiAR have increased in the current year due to the opening of the 3[rd] house, such as interest paid to investors (‘Investors’ return’) and property costs such as council tax and water rates. However there have been fewer property repair and maintenance issues in the current year, resulting in lower costs than the prior year.
In addition, HiAR have been able to recover some debts that were written off at the prior year end. The debtor's policy has been revised to write off debtors older than 90 days unless there is a payment plan in place to collect the debts.
Another major fundraising exercise is planned to secure more grant funding in the next financial year.
RISK AND RESERVES POLICY
In relation to risk and risk management, policies and procedures are in place to manage risk. Logs are maintained in order to record any incidents that may present a risk to the organisation and how risk is being managed.
Operating policies and procedures are in place for Continuity of Operations; Safeguarding; Critical Incidents and Sudden Death; First Aid incidents; Data Protection Breaches; Staff Training and HR.
In the event of major incidents, the Executive Director/Franchise Manager liaises with the Chair of Trustees who keeps the board informed of ongoing developments. Discussions take place to learn from the experience and to do things differently where required. Written reports are made of all major incidents, subsequent discussions, policy changes as a result, and amended practices.
Our reserves policy is not to hold more than 3 months’ worth of charitable expenditure in reserve unless there are specific requirements for so doing. The Trustees continue to hold a designated fund to enable the purchase and or development of housing stock.
In addition, another designated fund has been set up in the current year. ‘Donations’ of £9,348 from the investors of the 3[rd] house have been allocated to this fund as they are made with the specific purpose of covering the set-up costs of the house. Hope into Action Reading have paid the set-up costs of the house using these designated funds on behalf of the investors. The balance at year end in this fund would normally be zero unless investors make advance donations to cover other future expected costs related to the house.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE, AND MANAGEMENT
The organisation is governed by Articles of Association and is constituted as a Charitable Company (limited by guarantee). It is overseen by a board of trustees who are self-appointed.
Current and any new trustees are referred to guidance from the Charity Commission on their website under the heading of “Trustee Role and Board”. The trustees have developed an induction pack that includes guidance from the charity commission, information about the charity itself including a section on the vision of the charity and how the organisational structure, business/growth plan, and marketing/fundraising plans all serve the vision of the organisation.
Current trustees all have experience of being on boards of either companies or charities and substantial experience in their respective fields and capacities within which they act as trustees of the charity. There is also support available to the trustees from HIA’s national operation.
In terms of the charity’s organisational structure, during the period covered by this report, the charity was managed by Mary Lewis as the Franchise Manager. The Empowerment Workers work directly with the residents under the supervision of the Franchise Manager who reports to the Trustees.
Hope into Action: Reading is a full franchisee of Hope into Action UK (formerly Hope into Action: East of England). The franchisor updates the Hope into Action model on a regular basis to keep it in line with best practice, legislation and to continually improve on the methods employed to achieve the best outcomes possible. Regular training advice and assistance are offered by way of away days, quality franchise assessments, and an annual two-day retreat.
Whilst there is a requirement to maintain the core elements of the Hope into Action model as part of being a franchisee, Hope into Action: Reading is free as an independent organisation to adapt the model to local circumstances and requirements. The trustees take this responsibility seriously and are keen to ensure that the charity implements the model faithfully since it has been demonstrated that it works but also to make sure that there is also an aspect of local expression and development.
The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Dr Richard Croft (chair) (Appointed 10.12.17) Dr Pamela Ward (Resigned 23.02.21) Mrs Susan Ralph (Appointed 30.09.18) Mrs Mary Langshaw (Appointed 25.06.19) Mrs Lorna Shepherd (Appointed 17.05.21)
The Trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 as set out on pages 8 - 16
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 for this year 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.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
-
the accounts do not accord with such records; or
• the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.

Liability Recognition
Generally, liabilities are recognized as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure.
Pension Costs
The trust contributes to the personal pension schemes of staff members. Contributions payable are charged as expenditure in the period to which they relate.
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds that are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds is charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Designated funds are discretionary funds established by the trustees for specific purposes.
Resources expended
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with the administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
