FACE - Family and Community Enterprise

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Structure, Governance and Management

FACE was initially established in 2014 as a community development organisation and registered with the Charity Commission on 21st August 2018. The charity is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 10th November 2017.

The board of trustees remain responsible for the overall governance, management and control of the charity. Day to day management is delegated to the core staff team and development lead who report back regularly in monthly team meetings, quarterly review presentations and line management supervision.

Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees

Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Articles of Association. A minimum of three trustees must be appointed. There is no maximum.

All those wishing to be a trustee must support the aims of the charity and applications to become a trustee are in a form approved by the existing trustees.

Newly appointed trustees are provided with comprehensive induction to FACE’s provision, including key information about the organisation’s development, governance and safeguarding.

Risk Management

The major risks to which the charity is exposed have been identified and considered, with a striving commitment to ensure these are effectively managed. The trustees and core senior team continue to review and identify risk and respond accordingly using a managed and smart approach.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have examined the charities requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. A policy has been established whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by FACE should be not less than an amount equivalent to three months’ expenditure if at all possible.

The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the service and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the activities of FACE to meet the needs of the community in the event of a significant drop in funding.

We are a leading movement in building a more integrated society. We work on a local level to connect people together across all ages and walks of life.

Established in 2014 as a community development body, FACE is a growing team which works closely with local authorities, emergency services, community organisations as well as schools and diverse sporting and religious bodies.

We deliver sports coaching, education and personal development programmes, providing young people and adults with opportunities to change their lives for the better.

Our Goal:

To educate, motivate and inspire current and future generations, building better communities for all.

We aim to achieve our goal by delivering in five areas:

We strive to provide sporting opportunities for children, young people and adults and those with physical or mental disabilities. We also deliver girls only sessions and manage a Centre of Sporting Excellence.

Community Cohesion

We aim to engage some of the most hard to reach people in the community by delivering sports coaching and a range of alternative activity sessions at times when they could otherwise become engaged in anti-social behaviour and / or social isolation.

Health

Using sport, fitness and nutrition we deliver a range of programmes to improve the health and wellbeing of local communities.

Education

We develop partnerships with schools to create community hubs and also deliver a range of educational programmes to all, using FACE as a hook to engage people.

REVIEW OF CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Background

The past year has been a challenging one for FACE and as we navigated the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these challenges, we were able to uphold our mission and make meaningful progress towards our objectives.

One of our key successes was our ability to welcome back participants and safely resume face-to-face interactions in our community programs and services. We also adapted to meet the changing needs of our community by offering virtual options for those who were unable to participate in person.

We would like to express our gratitude to our dedicated team for their resilience and adaptability in the face of uncertainty. Their commitment to serving our community and ability to adjust to changing circumstances enabled us to continue making a positive impact.

We are also pleased to report that our organisation's financial health remained strong throughout the year. While there were moments of concern, we were able to effectively manage our finances and maintain a stable position.

Looking forward, we are optimistic about the future and ready to face whatever comes next. We are committed to building on our successes and continuing to serve our community to the best of our abilities.

Current Challenges

The COVID-19 pandemic presented several significant challenges for FACE Family and Community Enterprise (FACE) during the year. One of the main challenges was the disruption to funding caused by the economic impact of the pandemic. As an organisation that was in a rapid growth period and had recently secured significant grants, the sudden hold on funding was a significant blow. Some of the grants were upheld, but their priorities were changed, and we had to reset and refocus on our foundations and main objectives to get back on our feet.

Another challenge we faced was the shift to remote work. Some staff were unavailable, and we lost some staff due to the pandemic, either to freelance work or to secure other employment. This required us to rebuild and adapt our team, and to become familiar with new systems for online meetings. Face-to-face interaction was still very limited, and we had to adapt to a new way of working.

We also faced challenges in keeping up with the constantly changing lockdown and guidelines. This caused some difficulties in terms of starting and stopping our programs and services. Additionally, the needs of our community and service users had drastically changed, and we had to adjust our priorities to focus more on mental health support.

Despite these challenges, we were able to adapt and continue to make a positive impact on our community. We learned the importance of being flexible, to keep our eyes open for new opportunities, and to be more creative in finding new ways to engage with our participants.

As we move forward, we will continue to build on our successes and remain dedicated to serving our community in the best way possible, while also being prepared to adapt to any future challenges that may arise.

REVIEW OF CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Project and Activity Updates

Sport and Physical Movement

Over the past year, FACE has made a strong return to all of our sports and activity projects. These programs included Tots Fundamentals, a movement through sport and active play program, as well as football programs, gymnastics, and an introduction to boxing. We also returned with our SEND specific sport and activity program called "ThisAbility" for young people with disabilities, as well as a seated exercise and movement program for the elderly.

In all, we engaged over 2000 participants throughout the year, with at least 35% attending regularly for over a six-month period. We are proud to have been able to provide these opportunities for our community to stay active and healthy, and we look forward to continuing to offer a variety of sports and physical movement programs in the future.

This year saw us deliver the HAF programme also across Easter, Summer and Christmas with all our venues and services being accessed and at full capacity with free lunches and snacks also offered each day.

Charities

All international projects were temporarily put on hold as we felt it was important to prioritize our efforts within our own community. This decision will be reviewed in the near future. However, FACE continued to be actively involved deeper in local initiatives throughout the year.

Our youth outreach and detachment teams continued to work closely with the council and other partner organisations, specifically in the areas of Little Harwood, Whitebirk and Daisyfield. Our youth outreach teams provided significant messaging to young people and children about the consequences of COVID-19, as well as signposting to other youth organisations and partners. This fostered positive conversations and communication, while also providing an opportunity for young people to learn more about the services available to them.

We also continued our efforts to support those in need by distributing meals to the homeless. In total, we distributed 2400 meals throughout the year, and our anonymous food pack request service was used regularly by those in need. We also created hygiene kits for those who required them and offered a request link via services and referrals.

Overall, we are proud of the impact we have made in our community and will continue to strive to make a positive impact for the people we serve.

Community Cohesion

As an organisation, one of our main priorities is to promote community cohesion and bring people together. This past year we have made several efforts to create a sense of community and belonging within our local area.

One of our main initiatives was to organise events and activities that bring people together. These events included community festivals, picnics, and sporting events that helped to promote a sense of unity and belonging among the people of our community.

We also made efforts to promote diversity and inclusion by creating safe spaces for people from different backgrounds to come together and share their experiences. This includes women-only activities, youth-led initiatives, and events that celebrate different cultures.

We have also helped to break down barriers and promote understanding between different groups through our outreach programs. Our youth outreach teams have been working closely with young people from different backgrounds to help them understand and appreciate the diversity of our community.

In total, we have engaged over 2500 participants throughout the year and we are proud of the positive impact we have had on promoting community cohesion in our local area. We look forward to continuing our efforts in the future and making a positive impact on our community.

"FACE has been such a positive force in our community. The events they organise bring people together and show the best of what our community can be. I am so grateful for the sense of belonging and community that they have helped to create." - Imtiaz Patel, community member

V99, our volunteering programme continues to bring people together with a common ground and help develop skills and experience to those who have been involved. This year has seen a total of 32 volunteers hands on amassing well over 5000 hours across the year. Without our volunteers we cannot exist, so a huge thank you and massive appreciations as always.

Education

Employability. CV and work application workshop drop ins have remained open midweek during the day and a Wednesday evening. FACE has continued to support young people and adults in this and also offered interview preparation, career advice, volunteering and partner work placement opportunities. The face to face delivery has welcomed everybody back and we saw 84 individuals benefit from this service who engaged more than twice.

Future Face. After putting the project on hold having tried online delivery, this year saw us work with extra cohorts and groups. The sessions ran for periods of 6-8 weeks and focused on confidence building, self-awareness, working with others, supporting the community, social action, work placements and CV writing as well as mock interviews and a celebratory presentation and awards evening for all. In total, we engaged with well over 150 young people ranging from 10 years and up to 25.

We managed to find at least 12 participants employment, with a handful going back into education and some young people being accepted on to apprenticeships.

Health & Wellbeing

Runface. We managed to get Runface back up and ‘running’ but it was very start and stop as our main lead coach was out with an injury. We plan to enter competitions again next year as we feel this is the motivator for all and gives participants something to work towards.

Trekking. FACE managed to lead organised treks to Mount Snowdon and Ben Nevis again this year. This was welcomed by all and we had 60 trekkers across the days with more events like this planned for th f t

Talk Face. This campaign has continued with a text service and WhatsApp path also created at specific times. Our team now has 2 x qualified counsellors and volunteers on hand to take calls from members of the public who need to talk or need advice / guidance especially around mental health and when they feel alone. Where required, individuals were signposted further to specialist services. A total number of 188 calls were received this year with over 250 text alerts and communications.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FACE - Family and Community Enterprise

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts 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.

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

● the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or

●the accounts did 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.
