From 01 July 2021 to 30 June 2022

Charity name: Midlands Housing Charity

Charity registration number: 1180517

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	Midlands Housing Charity was set up in 2018 to advance the health and relieve the needs of people with disabilities in necessitous circumstances upon terms appropriate to their means by providing housing and associated services.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The main activities were as follows: • Advancement of health • The prevention and relief of poverty • Rehabilitation and aftercare • Relief of people in need The charity is funded by local government funding, in the form of Housing Benefit for supported and exempt accommodation. This funding is received when certain criteria are met with regard to the vulnerability of the tenants and the fact that the charity is a not for profit organization. During the period we looked for but did not source any further suitable properties. The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and national lockdowns meant that our focus remained on ensuring that properties were COVID-19 safe. We continued to assist the beneficiaries to claim benefits to pay their rents and other benefits entitlements These activities benefited beneficiaries by giving them accommodation that they would find not otherwise be able to access easily and improving their health through the aftercare and rehabilitation possible in these environments. By provided specialist housing and support for people disadvantaged by physical, mental or learning difficulties we have enabled the Government's Supported living Initiative. The charity hopes to continue this service in the future.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	In planning our activities for the period, we kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our trustee meetings.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	In the period we shortlisted and assessed six potential properties but decided to focus on maintenance of existing properties. The beneficiaries of our services in the period remained unchanged from the previous period The accommodation forms an integral part of their rehabilitation and aftercare. MHC identifies the accommodation, acquires it and then customises it (where necessary) to meet the needs of the proposed beneficiaries. MHC ensured that agreed support was in place, that services were ready to start, and that any adaptations required were made and that appropriate equipment has been installed to ensure that appropriate aftercare and rehabilitation can be provided. We worked with our beneficiaries to support them to receive alongside housing their full benefits entitlement. In some cases, the sums are significant and will have a dramatic effect on the lives of the individuals and families involved.

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	In the period to 30 June 2022, we recorded an income of £71,826 and achieved a small operating surplus. The principal source of income is rent Our team operated 4 properties in the period. This achievement continues to be a testament to the hard work the team puts in and the quality of the homes we source.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level equivalent to three months expenditure. This level would allow the charity to continue its activities for a reasonable period in the event of a sudden curtailment in income
