From 01 July 2024 to 30 June 2025
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 founded in 2018 to promote health and alleviate hardship among individuals with disabilities experiencing financial or social disadvantage. This is achieved by providing suitable accommodation, together with related support services, tailored to the needs and financial circumstances of beneficiaries. |
| 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 charity continues to be primarily funded through Housing Benefit provided by local authorities for supported and exempt accommodation. This income is contingent on meeting eligibility requirements, including demonstrating tenant vulnerability and operating on a not-for-profit basis. Throughout the year, several potential properties were evaluated; however, no additional agreements were entered into. The charity maintained its support for existing beneficiaries, including assisting them in accessing Housing Benefit and other entitlements necessary to sustain their tenancies. These activities have enabled individuals to access stable housing that would otherwise be difficult to obtain, while also supporting improved health outcomes through appropriate care and rehabilitation environments. By delivering specialist accommodation for people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities, the charity continues to contribute to the Government’s Supported Living agenda. The trustees intend to sustain and, where appropriate, expand this provision in future periods. |
| 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 considered 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 | During the year, six prospective properties were identified and assessed. Following detailed review, none were considered suitable for the specific needs of the charity’s beneficiary group. As a result, the number of beneficiaries supported remained consistent with the prior period. The accommodation provided by the charity continues to play a critical role in supporting residents’ rehabilitation and longer-term wellbeing. The charity remains responsible for identifying, securing, and, where necessary, adapting properties to meet individual needs. Significant effort was directed towards ensuring that appropriate support arrangements were in place for each beneficiary. This included coordinating services, overseeing property readiness, and facilitating necessary adaptations and equipment installations. In addition, the charity worked closely with beneficiaries to secure their full entitlement to benefits. In several cases, this resulted in substantial financial improvements for individuals and their families, positively impacting their stability and quality of life. |
| Financial Review | ||
| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | In the period to 30 June 2025, we recorded an income of £82,155 and achieved a small operating surplus. The principal source of income is rent. Our team continued to operate four properties during the period. This achievement is 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 |
| Amount of reserves held | Para 1.22 | At the end of the period, the charity held £282 in reserves |
