OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The principal objectives of the charity continue to be:

The relief of persons suffering from a mental illness by the provision of:

We aim to:

There are too many people in prison having committed crimes due to a psychotic episode, effectively being punished for having an illness; too many revolving door patients on mental health wards; too many aging carers with grown up children still living with them, worrying about what would happen to their loved ones when they die.

By raising awareness of our charity, and our aims, we can implement our plans to provide some solutions to these problems. To do this we are working to raise funds for our project.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

Louise Hallett

Well - 2023 has been quite a year! Our biggest and most exciting news of 2023 was the success of our application for a grant from the National Community Lottery Fund. The application process took about a year, and we were hugely guided by one of our amazing volunteers, Judith Richards – we would never have managed it without her. She worked tirelessly on this application for us, and we were thrilled to bits when we got the news that it had been successful. We were awarded £327.062 over three years, to develop and expand our Outreach Programme through Hampshire.

So the Hammersley Homes team has grown through 2023, from 3 staff on our books, to 9!

We now have a brilliant part-time Finance Manager who keeps everything in spic span condition as far as the money side of things goes.

Our Outreach Programme Manager has a part-time assistant.

We have 4 part time Outreach Support Workers who are on the road visiting our vulnerable clients, making a real difference to their lives. The feedback we have been receiving from them has been immensely rewarding. As word has spread about our Outreach Service, referrals are pouring in and we are unable to keep up with demand – but we work all the time to raise more funds to enable us to reduce the ever-lengthening waiting lists.

We also have a part time volunteer co-ordinator now, who is amazing at bringing in new volunteers – both to help us with our Outreach Programme, and to work with us on all sorts of admin and management tasks, such as PR & Marketing (Social Media and our regular newsletters), graphic design, google analytics, eBay sales and general office admin. We are always looking for more volunteers though, so if you are interested in helping us with our project, we would welcome hearing from you.

Two new Trustees joined our Board in 2023 – Marion Lewis is our new Chair, and Richard Rayner is our new Treasurer. Both are wonderful. We have a strong and healthy Board of Trustees who work well together, and we are all thrilled with the progress the charity has made through the year.

We are enormously grateful to all our donors who continue to support our work. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you. We are of course very grateful too, to our local District Council and the Charitable Trust Funds and Foundations who have shown faith in our project and awarded us grants, including:

New Forest District Council Charlotte Bonham-Carter Charitable Trust The Lady More Charitable Trust The Aurelia Foundation The Bonhomie United Charity Age Unlimited The William Brake Foundation The Big Give Trust

We had planned to hold a major Fundraising Exhibition in May 2023, but sadly the venue fell through. It was a big disappointment, having received promises of consignments and gifts from a range of high-profile and interesting artists, and it was looking to be a superb exhibition, including some really great works. However – every cloud has a silver lining, and we are now working with

Southampton City Art Gallery and John Hansard Gallery in Southampton to mount this same exhibition – but better – across these two exceptional venues in 2026. It’s a way in the future, because of planned renovation works at Southampton City Art Gallery. We are very excited about this - it’s going to be amazing, so watch this space!

We now look forward to more growth and development through 2024! We have some great Fundraising Events and Campaigns planned which we hope you will join and enjoy!

VISION, MISSION AND VALUES

VISION

To see a world in which those living with serious mental illness in their family, won’t have to worry about who will care for their loved one when they are no longer able to. WE WILL.

MISSION

To provide long-term support for vulnerable adults who live with enduring mental health challenges, and struggle with living independently. Through our Outreach Programme we work to enrich their lives and help them reach their personal goals, building confidence, encouraging social interaction and community

engagement.

Our main goal remains to provide fully supported housing for the vulnerable group that we work with, along with day centres that offer facilities to encourage arts, crafts and other activities.

VALUES

We are compassionate – kindness and compassion go a long way, and we understand the importance of building trust with our clients. We are collaborative – we look for opportunities to work in partnership with others, to offer the widest range of benefits and activities to the people we support.

We are determined – to make life better for people who live with debilitating conditions, and for their families.

We are passionate – about the work we do, and always do all we can to achieve our vision.

TIMELINE 2023

January

We launched our eBay shop - our wonderful volunteer Nathalie Aparicio has been diligently and patiently listing things for sale. Have a look! It’s full of tempting treats.

February

After a year of preparation, we nervously submitted our application to the National Lottery Community Fund – we were asking for a lot of money, more than we’d ever asked for before, so there was a considerable amount of trepidation ….

March

We heard that our Lottery application had been successful! We were all over the moon – this put us on a different footing altogether; we were able to employ more staff, purchase laptop computers for everyone (albeit reconditioned ones, but we love our Apple laptops) and most importantly, support a lot more of the vulnerable people we work with. By the end of 2023, we had nearly 80 members of our Outreach Programme receiving regular support from Hammersley Homes.

April

Gemma Clapcott joined our team – she’s the Finance Manager we have dreamed of having. She’s efficient, sensible, excellent at producing the forecasts and budgets we constantly need for our Funding Applications – how did we ever manage without her?

May

Mental Health Awareness Week – we were delighted to hear that our application to participate in the BIG GIVE “Kind-2-Mind” Mental Health Awareness Week campaign was accepted, and honoured to receive £5,000 in Big Give Champion Funding which, in order to benefit from this, we needed to match in donations. We succeeded in raising over £11,000 including the Gift Aid element, so were over the moon! Thank you to all our generous donors and supporters for helping us to reach our target.

July

Joanne Cox joined us to manage the office – and she’s made a big difference to the efficiency and smooth running of our daily operations. She’s had some great ideas for fundraising projects, which she’ll oversee through 2024.

The end of July saw our second appearance at the New Forest Show. It’s a great window for us, offering the opportunity to showcase our work, and get the word out about Hammersley Homes, helping to raise awareness of the issues we champion. Hundreds of people took part in our fun quiz competition about Mental Health statistics, and a lucky winner got a week in Morocco!

August

We took a stand at the local Rotary “Summer Spectacular” event in our local park for the first time – we had visited before, but never participated. It was a tremendous family day out with an enormous variety of stands and events for all ages, including a wonderful classic car exhibition! These events provide a great opportunity for us to raise awareness of our important work.

September

Our excitement for September was a new addition to our team – Mandy Hodson joined us as our Volunteer Co-ordinator, to recruit and work with all the wonderful volunteers who help us grow and expand our project in all sorts of areas: Outreach, PR & Marketing, Website, Blogs, Graphic Design, Office Admin – and much more. We are enormously grateful to them all – we wouldn’t be able to manage without the valuable contribution that all our volunteers make.

October

We have worked closely with the University of Southampton in the past – through them we have benefitted from working with some terrific students on a variety of projects, and they invited us to submit some proposals, some ideas for student projects again this year.

Firstly, we applied to the university funded internship programme for a student to work with us on a Fundraising Campaign – an AUTUMN WALK through the New Forest which we hope will become an annual event. We were thrilled when our application was approved. Priya Mohan was the successful applicant out of a number of high quality applications, and she started working with us before Christmas.

November

Secondly, we applied to the University of Southampton Student Innovation Programme for help with how to mount a successful Crowdfunding Campaign. Two teams of students worked on this for us and both made very well researched presentations to us, to put us on the right road. There are so many Crowdfunding options and websites promoting themselves – why are some campaigns successful and others not? We will be launching our first Crowdfunder soon, using all the information and knowledge gained from the work these students did for us – watch this space!

Also in November, we were delighted to welcome Sarah Hannant to join our team as Deputy CEO. She will take over as CEO in May 2024.

December

And the build up to Christmas … we had a fair number of Christmas cards left over from previous years, so we didn’t produce our own cards this year. We delivered some of these cards, plus donation boxes, to pubs, schools, restaurants, beauticians and all sorts of businesses in and around Lymington, and people were very generous with their donations. Something to repeat annually.

And last but by no means least … The Railway Inn in Winchester very kindly and generously selected Hammersley Homes as one of the charities that they would support at their New Year Event! We bought some tickets for some of the University of Southampton students who had worked on our Crowdfunding Research for us, and they reported back that the event was truly tremendous!

TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT (Incorporating Director’s Report) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Our Impact

As word spreads about our Outreach Service, increasing numbers of agencies are contacting us to refer their patients and clients to our programme – which is wonderful of course, but we are feeling a little overwhelmed by the ever-lengthening waiting lists, and our inability to keep up with the very high demand for the support that we offer to the vulnerable people that our service targets.

We have decided to convert our Outreach Service into a Membership Programme. First, a potential client completes a Membership Application Form which is submitted to us along with the referral forms we receive from the referring agency – be it a local Community Mental Health Team, Social Services, a GP surgery or a local Mental Health charity. Then, at our Initial Assessment visit when we first meet a new client, we explain that they will receive support from us for three months without charge, on a trial basis. If, after that, they feel they are benefitting from the support and would like to continue after the three free months, then they become a Full Member and a membership fee of £30 a month is introduced which helps to contribute towards the costs of this programme.

Occasionally, after the trial period, a client decides that three months has been enough – they feel more confident and stable, having overcome some of their struggles, and they withdraw from the service. Far more often though, they decided to become full Members of the Programme and agree to pay £30 a month. This is really helping to make our Outreach Service more sustainable in the long term, and it’s wonderfully rewarding to know that our Outreach Members feel that they are benefitting to the point that they are happy to pay for the service.

We continue to collect data using the Edinburgh-Warwick Wellbeing Scale and also by getting Member Satisfaction Surveys completed – and the feedback we receive is encouraging. It’s an improvement on 2022 – probably largely thanks to the increased support we have been able to offer, as a result of the Lottery funding we received.

TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT

(Incorporating Director’s Report)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

It’s certainly encouraging that some of our Outreach clients feel that the support they have received in three short months has made a significant difference to their lives, to the point that they no longer wish to receive our support – although of course in a few cases, this could be just because they don’t want to pay for it! But as people drop out, we are able to accept more referrals and begin to reduce these growing waiting lists for our service. When people do decide to withdraw from the Programme, they always know they would be welcome to rejoin any time.

Our Plans for the Future

Thanks to our exciting National Lottery Community Grant, our Outreach Programme is secure for the next couple of years. We will continue to develop and expand this very popular and much needed service, as more Outreach staff and volunteers join our team.

The CMHTs and Social Service Departments that we work with, have clearly seen the benefits of ongoing support for these vulnerable people, as they continue to refer increasing numbers of clients to us. It’s important that this project can eventually become self-sustaining and constant, and we are planning to liaise more closely with the Hampshire Integrated Care Board to receive ongoing public funding to continue the service beyond the life of our Lottery grant.

Alongside all this, we continue to work towards our main aim of establishing fully supported housing and residential facilities, and we hope that 2024 will be the year that we’ll begin to offer some exciting news on the development of this project!

However, all our plans depend on funding, funding, and more funding. Funding is the core of our work. We become ever more aware of the vital role that fundraising plays in everything we do, and how important it is to make time to submit funding applications to the generous Charitable Trusts and Foundations that enable charities like ours to continue with the important work that we are all doing. 2024 will be the year that we get our Legacy Fundraising Strategy in place, and we would of course be enormously grateful to anyone who might consider including a legacy to Hammersley Homes in their Will.

Thank you ALL, ALWAYS for your ongoing and enormously valued support – we couldn’t do our work without you.

Public benefit

In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a Charity (PB2)'.

Financial position

The Trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to 31 December 2023 to have been broadly similar to the previous year due to the receipt of a number of generous grants and donations.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows overall incoming resources of £142,888 (2022: £122,496), overall expenditure of £153,053 (2022: £112,863), with total Unrestricted Funds at the year-end of £84,328 (2022: £110,137) and Restricted Funds of £33,660 (2022: £18,016).

Reserves policy

The Trustees have considered our reserves policy, which is to hold free reserves to cover 6 months expenditure in order to meet day to day operational needs for both the Outreach project and, in time, the running of our homes. Our stated objective of purchasing properties requires that we allow the level of reserves to be increased until sufficient funds are available for the purchase of those properties.

1 Summary of significant accounting policies

a General information and basis of preparation

Hammersley Homes is a registered charity in England and Wales and also a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the Charity. The registered office address is shown on page 2 of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are detailed on page 3 of these financial statements.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting practice.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value where considered necessary. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest pound.

b Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

c Income recognition

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity is legally entitled to the funds after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and that it is probable that the income will be received.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Donated facilities and donated services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

1 Accounting Policies (continued)

1 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

c Income recognition (continued)

No amount of time is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with SORP FRS (102). Further detail is given in the Trustees Annual Report.

Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.

Fixed assets donated gifts are recognised as income when receivable and are included at fair value. The income is not deferred over the life of the asset.

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion, legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed on these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as interest. Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method. Any dividend and rent income is recognised as the charity's right to receive payment is established.

d Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which the expenditure arose.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

The basis for apportionment is consistently applied and proportionate to the circumstances is:

Staffing Time spent in connection with a particular activity Premises costs Floor area occupied by a particular activity Non-specific support Usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity costs used, requests made or other measures

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

The analysis of these costs is in included in note 9.

1 Accounting Policies (continued)

e Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or if donated, as described above. Cost includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives:

Computer equipment

f Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

g Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, It is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

h Leases

Rentals payable or receivable under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

i Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

j Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
