## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

For the year ended 31st March 2025 

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2025. The Trustees have prepared the accounts in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 

(SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts under the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (second edition – 1 October 2019). 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

Proper Job’s charitable objects are described as follows: 

For the public benefit, the protection and preservation of the environment, in particular, but not exclusively, by 

(a) the promotion of waste reduction, reuse reclamation, recycling, use of recycled products and the use of surplus; and 

(b) advancing the education of the public about all aspects of waste generation, waste management and waste recycling, in the United Kingdom. 

Various activities help to fulfil Proper Job's mission while engaging the community in meaningful ways and raising awareness about environmental issues related to waste. 

**Operating a community reuse centre and shop –** where unwanted items are prevented from being disposed of, allowing the charity to facilitate the recycling and repurposing of goods. 

**Litter Picking Events** – The charity organises regular community clean-up days where volunteers gather to collect litter from parks, moorland, and other public spaces. This helps promote environmental stewardship and awareness of waste issues. 

**Repair Events** –events where community members can bring broken items (e.g., appliances, clothing, furniture) to be repaired by skilled volunteers, promoting reuse and extending the life of products. 

**Educational Campaigns** - Launch campaigns that include informational flyers, social media posts, and community presentations about waste reduction strategies, the importance of recycling, and how to properly dispose of different types of waste. 

Page 3 



**Sustainable Living Workshops** - Offer educational sessions on sustainable practices, such as composting, creating a zero-waste home, or DIY projects using recycled materials. 

**School Programs** - Develop educational workshops in local schools that focus on the importance of sustainability, waste reduction, and recycling, including classroom hands on activities. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and are satisfied that the activities of the charity meet its charitable objectives and deliver a clear benefit to the public. Ongoing monitoring and feedback demonstrate a significant positive impact on both the environment and the communities involved. 

To achieve these objectives, the charity employs the following strategies: 

- **Community Reuse Centre and Shop** – providing a facility where unwanted items are donated, processed, repaired if necessary, and resold. This helps extend the life of goods such as clothing, books, reclaimed materials, and homewares, thereby preventing wasteful disposal. 

- **Waste Reduction and Education** – promoting reuse, reclamation, recycling, the use of recycled products, and surplus materials, while also educating the public about waste generation, management, and recycling. 

- **Environmental Education and Composting** – advancing knowledge to protect and preserve the natural environment, encouraging composting, improving soil health, and enhancing local biodiversity. 

- **Community Empowerment** – supporting local communities to become more resourceful, achieving positive environmental, social, and economic outcomes. 

The Trustees review the charity’s aims, objectives, and activities at least annually to assess progress and ensure continued alignment with public benefit requirements. In this process, they specifically consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the charity. 

Looking ahead, longer-term objectives include investment in facilities and infrastructure at the Resource Centre to better support beneficiaries, staff, and volunteers. Planned improvements focus on enhancing energy efficiency, reducing utility costs, and improving accessibility to ensure that the site can meet the needs of a diverse range of people. 

## Achievements and Performance 

Summary of Activities 

The 2024–2025 Operational Plan set out four core goals: 

1. **Financial Stability** – Strengthen the organisation’s financial position to maintain a minimum reserve of £10,000 throughout the year. 

Page 4 



2. **Waste Reduction & Conservation** – Promote environmental education and action on waste reduction, reuse, soil health, and biodiversity, with a target to engage 16,000 project users and 800 education beneficiaries. 

3. **Community Impact** – Support local communities in becoming more resourceful while delivering positive environmental, social, and economic benefits. 

4. **Infrastructure** – Enhance the Resource Centre to better meet the needs of staff, volunteers, and the wider community. 

Progress Against Operational Goals 

## **Financial Stability** 

The year presented both progress and setbacks in achieving financial resilience. Cost savings were achieved, with staff salary expenditure underspent by 6%. However, income fell short of expectations: Resource Centre sales reached 80% of target, Uptown achieved 91%, and both auction sales and Gift Aid underperformed. As a result, the organisation closed the year with a deficit of £2,138. The organisation does still hold unrestricted net reserves of £87K at the year end. Despite these challenges, strengthened financial controls and work to diversify income streams provide a stronger foundation for recovery in 2025–2026. 

## **Waste Reduction & Conservation** 

The organisation maintained its focus on sustainability, successfully reusing 43,778 items—though this was a 6.2% decrease compared to the previous year. Composting operations stabilised after post-COVID disruptions, while challenges in tracking paint sales limited accurate reporting. Educational programmes engaged 466 participants against the 800 target, restricted mainly by funding availability. Despite lower reach, impact remained strong, and plans are in place to extend engagement in the coming year. 

## **Community Impact** 

The charity aimed for a 10% increase in customer transactions but instead experienced a 2.6% decline, influenced by economic pressures and changing consumer behaviour. However, community participation remained strong, with volunteer hours reaching their highest level to date. Fundraising through lottery ticket sales achieved 99% of target, highlighting promising opportunities to strengthen income through greater team involvement and event-led campaigns. 

## **Infrastructure** 

Significant improvements were delivered to enhance the Resource Centre’s functionality and sustainability. Key upgrades included the installation of a new kitchenette, improved heating and insulation, and the addition of a public composting toilet. These investments have created a more supportive and environmentally conscious space for staff, volunteers, and visitors, aligning with the organisation’s long-term vision for community impact and resilience.

## **Challenges** 

The financial stability of the project has faced significant challenges in recent years due to several factors. Increased competition for grant funding has made securing financial support more demanding. Additionally, changing consumer habits, particularly the rise in online purchases of second-hand items, have impacted traditional donation and resale models. The ongoing cost of living crisis has further strained financial resources, as individuals may have less disposable income to contribute. Compounding these issues is the substantial rise in salaries driven by increases in the national minimum wage as well as increase Ni contributions , which has added to the operational costs of the project. 

To address these challenges, the charity has been focusing on developing a consistent volunteer workforce. This involves dedicating resources to the recruitment and retention of volunteers, which is essential for driving growth and sustainability for the project. By building a reliable team of volunteers, the charity aims to enhance its operational capacity, reduce reliance on paid staff, and foster a stronger sense of community engagement. 

## **Employment, Volunteering, and Training** 

During the year, the average number of full-time equivalent (FTE) employees was **6.8** , based on a 37.5-hour working week. Proper Job is deeply grateful for the commitment of its volunteers, who together contributed **1,700 hours** of time— 

an **18.7% increase** on the previous year—through the involvement of **49 individuals** . Six volunteers supported the charity on a regular weekly basis, while others participated in a range of one-off projects. 

The charity also made use of the apprenticeship scheme to support staff development. The CEO is currently undertaking a **Level 7 Senior Leadership apprenticeship** , which enhances their role and strengthens the organisation’s leadership capacity. This investment in training is designed to build resilience and equip Proper Job with the skills needed to meet future challenges effectively. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

The Charity continues to work towards all the aims and objectives as defined in the strategic plan. In summary, its future aims and objectives are to: 

- achieve growth by facilitating the reuse of 20% more products. 

- to increase volunteer capacity and support with relevant training opportunities 

- Improve existing infrastructure and facilities. 

- Increase income to ensure the organisation continues to be financially sustainable 

- Improve efficiencies of all activities and operations 

- Increase educational reach across West Devon

## **Financial review** 

Total income for the year decreased from the previous year to £239,105 (2024: £257,255) Sales have decreased to £196,941 (2024: £200,397) Grant income for the year was £29,374 (2024: £39,187) Total expenditure for the year decreased to £241,242 (2024: £254,702) There was a net deficit for the year of £2,138 (2024: Surplus £2,553) of which £12,182 was a restricted surplus Unrestricted cash reserves carried forward are £13,417 

## **Fundraising** 

The charity does not carry out significant fundraising activities. However it aims to diversify income streams and therefore will apply more resources to support fundraising efforts such as the administration of grant funding and fundraising events. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The organisation aims to maintain reserves equivalent to three months' running costs at all times, wherever possible. This strategic reserve serves as a financial safety net, allowing the organization to continue its operations without disruption in the event of unforeseen circumstances, such as fluctuations in funding, unexpected expenses, or economic downturns. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management;** 

## **Governing document** 

Charitable Incorporated Organisation: Model constitution for a CIO whose only voting members are its charity trustees (‘Foundation’ model constitution) 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Recruiting new trustees is essential for effective governance and the charity's success. According to the governing documents, after the initial trustees, each new trustee is appointed for a three-year term through a resolution at a trustee meeting. 

When selecting trustees, the charity will consider: 

Skills and Expertise - Relevant qualifications in administration, finance, legal matters, fundraising, strategic planning, and operational management. 

Page 7 



Diversity and Representation - The board should reflect diverse perspectives to enhance decisionmaking and serve the community effectively. 

Passion and Commitment - Prospective trustees should demonstrate a genuine interest in the charity’s mission. 

New Attributes- Appointments aim to bring unique skills and fresh perspectives, such as knowledge in environmental sustainability, community engagement, or volunteer management. 

The recruitment process includes: 

Identification of Needs - The board will assess its composition to identify skills gaps. 

Advertising Vacancies - Trustee positions will be advertised publicly through the charity's website, social media, and community boards to attract diverse candidates. 

Application and Interview - Interested candidates will submit applications, and a selection committee of existing trustees will interview shortlisted candidates. 

Recommendation and Resolution- The committee will recommend candidates to the board, and appointments will be formalised through a meeting resolution. 

By following this process, the charity aims to create an effective board of trustees to fulfill its mission and benefit the community. 

## **Trustee Induction and Training** 

All newly appointed trustees complete a structured induction programme designed to familiarise them with the charity’s governance framework, operations, and strategic priorities. This process ensures that trustees are fully prepared to carry out their responsibilities effectively and in line with regulatory requirements. 

The induction and training are tailored to each trustee’s role, with additional learning opportunities offered where appropriate—for example, in response to new legislation or updated sector guidance. 

As part of the induction, trustees are provided with key documents, including: 

- **Trustee Handbook** – outlining roles, responsibilities, and the charity’s operating structure. 

- **Code of Conduct** – setting out the ethical standards and behaviours expected of trustees. 

- **Annual Operational Plan** – a summary of the charity’s annual goals and priorities. 

- **Three-Year Strategic Plan** – outlining longer-term objectives and vision. 

- **Current Financial Position** – an overview of the organisation’s financial health, supported by recent financial statements. 

Page 8 



The effectiveness of induction and training is regularly reviewed through feedback and evaluation, helping to ensure that it remains relevant, practical, and beneficial for trustees.
