Public Benefit Statement
The Charity serves the public benefit by helping to reduce anti-social behaviour, crime and demand on statutory services such as hospitals, health services, local authorities and police. This is achieved through the provision of intense support to individuals via our SERVICES PATHWAY, delivering direct cost savings benefit to the public purse.
The Charity also provides a service to the general public through its website, social media, open days and other events by raising awareness and providing information/awareness and education about the local and national housing climate.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
The governing document of the Charity is The Hope Hub Constitution which was signed and registered on 22 December 2017.
Trustee Selection
The Charity is a faith-based charity and the Trustees serve for a period of three years after which they are eligible for reappointment. New Trustees are appointed by resolution of the Board. The Board advertises for new Trustees with appropriate skills through local churches and the Voluntary Support North Surrey network and other appropriate media.
Organisational structure
The Hope Hub is a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation). The Board of Trustees determines the policies of the Charity and may be involved in staff selection, particularly for a management post or as requested by the Chief Executive.
The Trustees during the year were:

The Board delegates to the Chief Executive management responsibility to carry out the development and day to day management functions of the Charity.
The Charity is not part of a wider network and is reliant on the support of Surrey Heath Borough Council, Surrey, and all the funders and supporters to fulfil its objectives. During the year the Charity has provided the full SERVICES PATHWAY operating from 3,000 sq. ft. premises owned by Surrey Heath Borough Council in Camberley, Surrey. 246 service users (2023: 212) have accessed services 10,601 times (2023 8,800). In addition, we have housed 24 people at our 6 bedroom Emergency Accommodation Service (EAS) in partnership with Surrey Heath Borough Council. Please refer to Impact Overview (pages 9-15) for more information.

All the charities’ policies have a review date when they are reviewed, updated and re-presented to the Board of Trustees.

Reserves Policy
The Trustees regularly review The Hope Hub’s reserves having regard to the need to:
-
Fund the working capital required for provision of the developing range of services
-
Meet contractual obligations
-
Meet the Charity’s obligations as a good employer
-
Protect and maintain assets
-
Allow flexibility to respond to unexpected opportunities and challenges
-
Fund strategic plans
Surrey Heath Borough Council provided a “Pump Prime Fund” for The Emergency Accommodation Service when the service commenced and this provides a reserve for the Night Services should the cost of the services not be covered by income during the year. The balance on this Fund at the 31 March 2024 was £102,484 (2023: £114,231).
The Charity has adopted a policy of building and maintaining reserves sufficient to cover between 4-6 months of the operating costs of the Day Service in order to secure the continued provision of these services despite the unpredictability of funding streams, changing eligibility criteria and statutory funding. At the 31 March 2024, the balance of the Designated Operating Reserve was £116,622 (31 March 2023: £104,118) and has been increased since the year end to £185,000. The Reserve is kept in a separate bank account, ring-fencing these funds to provide a cushion against variations in income, whether seasonal or driven by events.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION
The Charity is a non-profit making organisation. The financial activities for the year and the balance sheet as at 31 March 2024 are as shown in the financial statements on pages 19 to 31.
The Hope Hub was successful in securing a healthy mix of funding during the year and has continued to operate good stewardship over expenditure. In the year ended 31 March 2024, income of £540,841 was secured (2023: £434,662). The Hope Hub is grateful for, and reliant upon the continued support of Surrey Heath Borough Council, Surrey County Council and a wide range of partners including Trust and Grant Funders, Statutory bodies, Community and Faith Groups, Businesses, and other Donors including members of the general public. All income is used for the purposes for which it is given.
The charts below illustrate the funding mix during the year and in the prior year and are based on the analysis of income on page 23:

Total expenditure for the period ended 31 March 2024 was £467,856 including depreciation (2023: £401,997) which represents the operating costs of delivering the various services and projects offered by the charity during the year. THH operates from premises provided by Surrey Heath Borough Council with no ongoing rent. The Charity is responsible for internal maintenance, decoration and all utilities.
Net income for the year ended 31 March 2024 was £72,985 (2023: £32,665).
The total funds carried forward at 31 March 2024 were £533,953 (2023: £460,968). Of the total funds, £178,608 were held in Restricted Funds (2023: £152,495) meaning that they are restricted to purposes specified by the donor, £116,622 (2023: £104,118) was held in a Designated Operating Reserve and the remaining £238,723 (2023: £204,355) was held in the Unrestricted General Fund for continued delivery of services in the next financial year.
Inflationary and other pressures in the economy continued to impact our running costs during the year, with particular pressure from utility costs and salaries. These pressures may also impact the ability of funders to donate in the year ahead, including statutory partners such as Surrey Heath Borough Council and Surrey County Council. However, the Charity has a Designated Operating Reserve of 4-5 months of operating costs in line with good governance and our policy as described under the Reserves Policy section above. This provides a cushion against variations in funding.

-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP)
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2024
IMPACT OVERVIEW by Chief Executive, Mags Mercer
The Hope Hub had a positive year and service team delivery was outstanding. However, Service User need was at its highest ever level in the year ending 31 March 2024 and complexity of need also increased with 75 out of every 100 people we support struggling with mental health challenges. This has been exacerbated since the pandemic, economic downturn/cost of living crisis and general lack of affordable and move on accommodation for people of no fixed abode OR, those who are vulnerably/unsuitably housed. Statutory services are usually strained and we find ourselves needing to deliver more as each year passes. The theme of witnessing mental health deterioration for the vulnerable often combined with food and fuel poverty, unemployment and homelessness is increasingly visible. The Hope Hub continues to support anyone aged 18+ who needs our holistic and empowering services.
We are pleased to have successfully re-built our Volunteer base, recruited a part time Volunteer Coach (with funding) and secured the IiV Investing in Volunteers UK quality standard for good practice in Volunteer Management. We have also maintained our Disability Confident employer status.
Through a range of funding projects, we have been able to maintain our Living Well portfolio of Workshops seeking input and involvement with our Service Users. Affordable Cookery across the Borough, Budgeting and Money Management, Creative Art, Feel Well Workshops, Health for Life, Healthy January campaign and Anger Awareness and coping strategies. Our Training and Employment services continued to be a welcome service and need. We were also a Warm Hub and Welcome space from TuesdayFriday for those in need, providing a warm meal, workshops and fuel vouchers through statutory partnerships.
We gave out a record 775 food parcels sourced entirely through the amazing Community, supermarkets, churches, foodbanks and responses to our social media requests. Additionally, we sourced, cooked and served 4,123 meals from our Day Service and Emergency Accommodation Service and secured a 5 star food hygiene rating from an unannounced inspection.
During the period April 2023-Mar 2024, we supported 246 Service Users and our services were accessed 10,601 times, an average of 43 times each . Although the number of people of ethnic minority was 25, their total service access was 2,330 times averaging 93 times each.
Of the 246 Service Users, 164 were male, 78 female, 4 LGBTQ, 25 Ethnic Minority Services Services Users were aged between 18 – 81.

Support and recognition of our work has thankfully again been strong and we were successful in securing funding through statutory partnerships and trust/grant funders throughout the year. Additionally, corporate support and volunteering has increased as has local community, business support and individual donors. It is so encouraging for the staff and volunteer team who work under pressure most of the time to witness the incredible backing and support from our partners, funders and across the community.

THE HOPE HUB Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1176452 Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2024
Through key funding, we have been able to deliver a range of Cookery courses across the Borough including ‘one pot cooking’ classes with attendees over 6 courses. We delivered a number of other Healthy eating/cooking events over the winter period too. Other Living Well workshops included Creative Art, Basic Budgeting and a range of Tenancy support and wellbeing workshops including anger awareness and coping
strategies. These are fundamental to help individuals learn new skills as they move towards independence.
Christmas Festivities
The Local Community supported us with gifts, vouchers, food & monetary donations. Being part of The Big Give campaign meant that donations were doubled for a week and allowed us, together with generous giving from Waitrose plc to place all homeless
people into a hotel for the period statutory services were closed and provide them with food for the period for the 6[th] consecutive year. We held a number of festive events and the Mayor of Surrey Heath joined us for one of our festive events.

Valuing Productive Partnerships
Considerable strategic input is provided to all our partners and funders and we greatly value being able to participate with qualitative and relevant information helping to shape the services and statutory support that is needed by our Service Users. We work with all statutory bodies and agencies in the Borough and surrounding areas from hospitals, P’s, NHS CC , Probation, ocal and County uthorities, Police, PCC, Citizens dvice, Community groups, Addiction agencies and foodbanks/services acting as an intermediary with the Authorities on complex multi-agency cases. Additionally, the Emergency Accommodation Service is a partnership project with Surrey Heath Borough Council and part funded by claiming Housing Benefit for tenants.
Valuing Volunteers & achieving our Investing in Volunteers Award (IiV)
THH would not be able to deliver the range of services without our ever increasing valued volunteer team and a staff team who go beyond the call of duty and regularly volunteer to support Service Users, attend community and other events at evenings and weekends. By the end of the period our volunteers and staff members averaged a combined total of 80 volunteer hours per week 51 weeks a year . This represents a significant donation and when calculated at the current UK Living Wage, shows a social return on investment (SROI) of circa £46,700 per annum. If calculated at a professional rate however, it would be a considerably higher SROI.
Corporate support was also positive during the year and Fourwalls Marketing Agency Group selected The Hope Hub as their charity of the year and donated considerable hours at the Day Service and EAS cleaning, painting and gardening. dditionally, they raised funds to completely fit out a new ‘fit for purpose’ store room at our ay Service. Their energy and commitment was infectious and we were delighted to nominate, and, they were subsequently awarded by The Mayor, the ‘Corporate Volunteer Award’ through Voluntary Support North Surrey (VSNS).
Through our Service User Forum, we actively encourage Service Users to shape our services so we adapt and ensure we are only delivering services that are really needed. We value those with lived experience and several participated in Changing Futures and Peer/co-production support events. The Changing Futures logo is just one example of co-production created at The Hope Hub and adopted for Surrey.
Social Media Presence
We have increased our presence on facebook, instagram and X (previously twitter) and continue to re-fresh our website. We remain active across the Community and are often invited to attend local events to fundraise and/or raise awareness about our work. Our quarterly e-News continues via mailchimp and is well received by
13
THE HOPE HUB Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1176452 Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2024
partners, funders and supporters. All staff and key volunteers have been trained in safeguarding and fire safety in case of an emergency. The charity policies have all been updated in line with review dates and shared with the staff and volunteer team. Records of training are held centrally.
At the end of March 2024, 20 people worked at the charity but most are part time giving a Full Time Equivalent of 11 people. The split of the 20 staff between night and day services was 14 permanent members of staff working on Day services, 5 permanent staff plus 5 adhoc cover staff (1 FTE) working at the EAS (night service). The full time member of staff who manages the EAS service also works on day services.

Independent Examiner’s statement
The charity’s gross income exceeded £ , and am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

1) accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act; or
-
2) the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

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 financial statements to be reached.

THE HOPE HUB Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1176452 Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2024
Notes to the Financial Statements
1) Accounting Policies
a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with:
-
The Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014
-
and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)
-
and with the Charities Act 2011
-
and with UK generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
b) Going Concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Trustees have adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
c) Charitable Funds
T he Charity has the following types of funds which require separate disclosure:
-
Unrestricted Funds – This fund is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity.
-
Designated Funds are part of the Unrestricted Funds which the Trustees have earmarked for a particular use, without restricting or committing the funds legally. The Designated Operating Reserve Fund represents 4-6 months of operating costs which have been designated by the Trustees to provide a cushion against variations in income and expenditure and to secure the continued provision of services.
-
Restricted Funds – These funds can only be used for the purpose for which the funds were given. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when a specific purpose is identified in appeal literature.
d) Tax Status
As a registered charity, the charitable activities of this organisation are exempt from corporation tax.
e) Incoming Resources
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, and it is more likely than not that the Trustees will receive the resources, and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met.
21
THE HOPE HUB Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1176452 Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for year ended 31 March 2024
In the case of performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met.
The charity has received local government grants in the reporting period.
Gifts in kind, such as clothing and food, are made for the benefit of clients. As these have no material benefit to the Charity they are not valued under incoming resources.
The value of any volunteer help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Chief xecutive’s Report.
Gift Aid receivable is included in income where there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor has specified otherwise.
f) Resources Expended
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
g) Tangible Fixed Assets for use by the Charity
The acquisition of minor capital items below £1,000 are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year of purchase. Capital items over £1,000 and with a useful life of more than one year are capitalised and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives in accordance with the following:
| Computer Hardware: | 3 years |
|---|---|
| Kitchen Equipment: | 5 years |
| Furniture, Fixtures & Fittings: | 5 years |
| Furniture, Fixtures & Fittings Emergency Accommodation Service: 2 years |
Tangible assets over £1,000 purchased using restricted funds are expensed against the relevant fund in the year and the asset is transferred to the unrestricted general fund.
h) Intangible Fixed Assets for use by the Charity
The charity has intangible fixed assets, that is, non-monetary assets that do not have physical substance but are identifiable and are controlled by the charity through custody or legal rights. Such assets costing over £1,000 and with a useful life of more than one year are amortised on a straight line basis over their useful lives in accordance with the following: CRM software: 5 years
Intangible assets over £1,000 purchased using restricted funds are expensed against the relevant fund in the year and the asset is transferred to the unrestricted general fund.
i) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.
j) Debtors
Debtors including trade debtors, amounts the charity has paid in advance (prepayments), and amounts receivable from HMRC in relation to Gift Aid recoverable, are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount. Subsequently, they are measured in accordance with the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
k) Creditors due within one year
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. ther creditors include amounts payable for mployer’s N on staff salaries. Creditors are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts.

| Pension costs | 12,126 | 9,746 |
| Total Staff Costs | 379,370 | 315,332 |
No employees received emoluments including benefits in kind but excluding employer pension contributions for the reporting period of more than £60,000.
Pension contributions are made for eligible employees to a defined contribution pension scheme.
Most of the employees are part time and the average number of employees during the year ended 31 March 2024 was 11 Full Time Equivalent (2023: 10 FTE).
At the end of March 2024, 20 people worked at the charity but most are part time giving a Full Time Equivalent of 11 people (31 March 2023: 11 FTE) . The split of the 20 staff between night and day services was 14 permanent members of staff working on Day services, 5 permanent staff plus 5 adhoc cover staff (1 FTE) working at the EAS (night service). The full time member of staff who manages the EAS service also works on day services.
Staff regularly provide additional hours on a voluntary basis and direct the work of volunteers. The Chief Executive has estimated the value of the volunteer hours during the year to be approximately £46,700 if valued at the living wage (£43k in 2023), but in terms of professional services provided by those volunteers the value would be much higher.
Payroll Administration and Service User Training courses were provided by external parties during the year and their cost is therefore analysed under the relevant expenditure category in note 3 rather than being included in Staff Costs.
Trustees are unpaid and do not receive any out-of-pocket expenses other than the reimbursement of any costs incurred on behalf of the Charity.
