20 A Message of Gratitude

A message from our founder

2024 has been another exciting year for Hammersley Homes – and it’s been so great to see what terrific progress the charity has made.

Sarah Hannant, our CEO, started working with us in November 2023, and has driven the charity forward in ways we could not have dreamed of! She’s smartened up our policies and procedures, put really good systems and strategies in place and employed some wonderful new staff. Through the year, I’ve handed over the reins over to Sarah - she’s taken loads off my plate and it’s been heaven for me! And she’s so efficient, she’s done so much that I never got around to. Sarah is an enormous asset to the charity and I hope she’ll be with us for a long time.

When I started up this charity in 2018, I knew it was going to be a huge challenge and a lot of work, but I didn’t realise that it was going to take up ALL my time! But SO worth it… it’s been an incredibly rewarding experience from day one, and seeing the difference that our service makes to some vulnerable lives, has been truly wonderful. Building relationships with NHS Mental Health Teams and other agencies who refer our Outreach Members to us has been vital, and we continue to grow and develop our partnerships to receive ever-increasing numbers of referrals – this says a lot about how valuable our service is and how needed it is.

But none of this would have been possible without all our supporters, donors, volunteers, staff, patrons and trustees – they are all vital to us, and immensely valued. We continue to grow and develop our networks, our work and our services – but in order to be able to do this, we need the continued support of all those who collaborate with us to provide ongoing support to some of the hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people who live with enduring mental illhealth – and we want to support so many more of them.

Thank you for your help, your support, your donations, your suggestions, your ideas…

Please keep them coming!

About Hammersley Homes

Hammersley Homes is dedicated to providing longterm support to adults suffering from enduring mental health challenges. Our Outreach Programme aims to combat isolation, enhance well-being, and promote independence by offering practical and emotional assistance. We are committed to creating safe, supportive environments for vulnerable adults who struggle to live independently due to severe mental illness.

Our dedicated team provides regular ongoing support for this vulnerable group, providing stability and a sense of belonging to those who might otherwise be at risk of homelessness, hospitalisation, or social isolation. Our long-term goals include establishing day centres and supported living facilities, because we believe that with increased stability and support we can help to prevent mental health crisis and improve outcomes for this vulnerable and often overlooked group.

In 2024, we expanded our reach, strengthened our services, and continued making a tangible difference in the lives of those we support.

Our outreach has grown at an incredible pace over the past few years. In 2021, we supported just 20 Members. As demand grew, so did we—expanding our reach by 65% in 2022 to support 33 people. Then, with vital funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we took a huge leap forward in 2023, more than doubling our impact to 75 Members. And in 2024, we hit an exciting new milestone — 104 Members receiving support through our programme!

At Hammersley Homes, we are not just growing - we are transforming lives. Over the past four years, our Outreach Programme has expanded at an incredible pace, reaching more individuals with long-term mental health conditions than ever before.

These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real people whose lives have been improved through our support. This incredible momentum has been made possible by strategic investment in staffing, volunteer recruitment, and securing essential funding. Our ability to expand, despite the mounting challenges in the mental health sector, underscores our unwavering commitment to those who need us most.

From our Outreach manager

In 2024, we continued to expand our Outreach Services, strengthening our capacity and extending the support we provide. We welcomed 3 new support workers and extended the hours of our administrative assistant to better serve our members. Beyond our regular home visits and remote support, we have enhanced our programme with group activities and events, organised both independently and in collaboration with local organisations such as Rona Sailing, Pedall Cycling, and New Forest National Parks. These initiatives provide meaningful social interactions and personal development opportunities for our members.

A major milestone was the launch of two Wellbeing Drop-ins in Ringwood and Netley Marsh, offering a welcoming space for engagement and additional weekly interactions for both members and those on the waiting list. A notable addition this year was the PenPal Project, allowing members to exchange letters with volunteers, fostering connections and reducing isolation.

These expansions reflect our commitment to growing in ways that directly benefit those we serve, and we are eager to build upon these successes in 2025.

Testimonials & case studies

Our members' voices highlight the real impact of Hammersley Homes’ work: From our members

“

Having someone around has improved my mental health and made me feel stronger as a person. I feel like I have the confidence to go out and do things.

”

“

I couldn’t be any happier. I look forward to the visits every two weeks. It really helps with my mental health, and I don’t need to see my mental health worker anymore.

”

“

Hammersley Homes has taught me ‘don’t give up on yourself’. Having a support worker helps a lot to ground you and keep you focused on your future.

“

I couldn’t be any happier. I look forward to the visits every two weeks. It really helps with my mental health, and I don’t need to see my mental health worker anymore.

”

“

It’s nice to have a stable point of contact when I need it. The exposure I have had has made me much more confident. Heather is a lovely, friendly person.

”

We always go somewhere different so I’m seeing different people all the time. I’ve built a relationship with Vicky and get to see her on a regular basis. I’m really pleased that I was referred to Hammersley Homes. ”

From family & carers

“

I am so pleased that Hammersley Homes Outreach Support is providing my son with some muchneeded company and social contact. Over the past couple of years, he has become almost completely isolated relying entirely on support from me which is not easy now that I am getting older. He is not the easiest of people to deal with but I am hopeful that the Volunteers will continue to support him and hope that he will gradually feel able to do more with them. He looks forward to their visits and phone calls and it gives me a short but welcome break. ”

From a volunteer

“

I have lived with mental illness in my family all my life, that’s why I volunteered to help others who live with these conditions. Having this close contact with other sufferers has had a huge impact on my understanding of these conditions and changed the way I communicate with and respond to my own relation; it’s made a big difference and our relationship has improved enormously as a consequence. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, it’s taught me so much.

”

From a referring agency

“

I refer as I know that the service has already made a difference to people that I have referred, and I know that it is a friendly, safe and well-run service. For those with long term mental health conditions, getting support from other services like Adult Services and CMHT is getting harder and harder to access, with long waiting lists, so knowing that support can start quickly after a referral makes a huge difference to many and can prevent a situation escalating into crisis.

”

Case Study: Breaking 17 Years of Isolation

For 17 long years, Steph lived in isolation, unable to leave her home alone. The world outside felt overwhelming, and every attempt to step beyond her front door was met with fear and uncertainty. But in September, everything changed.

With the gentle encouragement and tailored support of her outreach worker, Vicky, Steph took a bold and life-changing step — she left her house on her own for the first time in nearly two decades.

Feeling motivated by a desire to be a part of her local community, Steph applied to a local charity and began volunteering. Now, she takes calls in their office one or two mornings a week, contributing her time and skills to help others while reclaiming her confidence.

To prepare for this monumental change, Vicky worked closely with Steph, introducing sensory techniques and grounding exercises using a scented smelling pot. These small yet significant strategies helped Steph manage her anxiety and build the courage to take this step.

Reflecting on her progress, Steph shared, “I feel amazed with myself”.

This breakthrough is not just a personal victory, but a testament to the life-changing impact of Hammersley Homes’ Outreach Programme. It exemplifies how compassionate, consistent support can empower individuals to overcome immense barriers and embrace new opportunities.

Measuring our impact

Thanks to our grants and donors, we were able to onboard three new outreach workers, reaching 104 individuals - a record number for our Outreach Programme since its inception. In 2024, our amazing Outreach team provided 1,872 hours of direct support through our home visits, telephone calls, and group support sessions.

To measure engagement and success, we conduct satisfaction surveys and use the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS). Many beneficiaries reported enhanced confidence and increased social engagement, with our Outreach service playing a vital role in reducing feelings of isolation. Feedback from our Members indicates that the majority of service users experienced a marked reduction in isolation, underscoring the communitybuilding aspect of the service. It is encouraging that the majority of respondents reported significant positive changes in their mental health and overall wellbeing.

Our most recent data from the final quarter of 2024 is highly encouraging:

These statistics, alongside testimonials from beneficiaries, indicate that our services are making a tangible difference in the lives of those we support. Furthermore, the feedback we collect from referrers shows the noticeable benefit of being able to refer to a service such as ours, and they believe that the quick-start and continuous nature of our service is instrumental in preventing escalation into crisis, as well as allowing them to help more patients knowing that Hammersley Homes is there to provide ongoing support.

Grants and donations

We are immensely grateful to the following organisations and charitable trusts whose funding has been instrumental in driving our growth. Each of these funders plays a critical role in sustaining our services and ensuring we can continue to support those who need us most:

National Lottery Community Fund Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Fund Vivid Housing Association Charles Burnett Memorial Fund New Forest District Council Postcode Society Trust

National Lottery Awards for All Bonhomie United Charity Society - The Charlotte Bonham Carter Grant The Grace Trust Aurelia Foundation Dischma Trust William Brake Foundation

Events and community

In the past year, we have hosted and participated in incredible events that have raised both funds and awareness:

New Forest Show

Growing through partnerships

We know that collaboration is key to success. Our partnerships with local universities and organisations allow us to expand our reach and develop new initiatives:

University of Southampton Internship

With each new grant, partnership, and community event, we move closer to our vision of providing lifelong support to adults with mental health challenges. The momentum is building, and we can’t wait to see what the next year brings!

Looking ahead: vision for 2025

We currently support over 100 Outreach Members and plan to grow this by 75 Members a year over the next three years. The demand for our Outreach Programme continues to grow, with 18 individuals currently on our waiting list.

There are 10,000 people in Hampshire with a registered diagnosis of a Serious Mental Illness, and the regularity of referrals we receive to our service is evidence of the need for this ongoing support.

In the coming year, we are committed to:

As we continue to grow, we have bold plans to enhance our impact and reach even more people in need. Our Outreach Programme is expanding with the hiring of two new Outreach Home Visitors, ensuring we can support even more individuals. Our fundraising efforts are gaining momentum, with more engagement events and donor opportunities planned to secure vital resources for our mission. We are also scaling up our services, offering more group sessions and activities aimed at improving mental wellbeing and increasing community engagement and connection. The future is bright, and we are excited for what is to come!

A message of gratitude

As we close the chapter on 2024, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, partners, volunteers, and supporters. Your contributions make our work possible, ensuring that people with long-term mental health challenges receive the support, dignity, and companionship they deserve.

As we set our sights on 2025, we are more determined than ever. With a passionate team of 6 Outreach staff and 20 dedicated volunteers, we are reaching further, strengthening our impact, and ensuring that more vulnerable individuals with a serious mental illness across the New Forest and Hampshire receive the support they need. The future is bright, and we are excited for what is to come.

Together, we are building a future where no one is left behind.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With gratitude,

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.

In 2021, we supported 20 Members. By 2022, demand surged, and we stepped up - expanding our outreach by 65% to reach 33 people. But that was just the beginning. In 2023, thanks to an incredible grant from the National Lottery Community Fund, we saw a remarkable 127% increase, supporting 75 Members. And in 2024, we reached another milestone, with 104 Members being supported by the programme!

At Hammersley Homes, we are not just growing - we are transforming lives. Over the past four years, our Outreach Programme has expanded at an incredible pace, reaching more individuals with long-term mental health conditions than ever before.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (continued)

Outreach Programme (continued)

These numbers are not just statistics; they represent real people whose lives have been improved through our support. This incredible momentum has been made possible by strategic investment in staffing, volunteer recruitment, and securing essential funding. Our ability to expand, despite the mounting challenges in the mental health sector, underscores our unwavering commitment to those who need us most.

From Our Outreach Manager

In 2024, we continued to expand our Outreach Services, strengthening our capacity and extending the support we provide. We welcomed 3 new support workers and extended the hours of our administrative assistant to better serve our members. Beyond our regular home visits and remote support, we have enhanced our programme with group activities and events, organised both independently and in collaboration with local organisations such as Rona Sailing, Pedall Cycling, and New Forest National Parks. These initiatives provide meaningful social interactions and personal development opportunities for our members.

A major milestone was the launch of two Wellbeing Drop-ins in Ringwood and Netley Marsh, offering a welcoming space for engagement and additional weekly interactions for both members and those on the waiting list. A notable addition this year was the PenPal Project, allowing members to exchange letters with volunteers, fostering connections and reducing isolation.

These expansions reflect our commitment to growing in ways that directly benefit those we serve, and we are eager to build upon these successes in 2025.

Testimonials & Case Studies

Our members' voices highlight the real impact of Hammersley Homes’ work:

From Our Members:

"Having someone around has improved my mental health and made me feel stronger as a person. I feel like I have the confidence to go out and do things."

“Hammersley Homes has taught me ‘don’t give up on yourself’. Having a support worker helps a lot to ground you and keep you focussed on your future.”

"I couldn’t be any happier. I look forward to the visits every two weeks. It really helps with my mental health, and I don’t need to see my mental health worker anymore."

“It’s nice to have a stable point of contact when I need it. The exposure I have had has made me much more confident. Heather is a lovely, friendly person.”

“We always go somewhere different so I’m seeing different people all the time. I’ve built a relationship with Vicky and get to see her on a regular basis. I’m really pleased that I was referred to Hammersley Homes.”

From Family and Carers:

“I am so pleased that Hammersley Homes Outreach Support is providing my son with some much-needed company and social contact. Over the past couple of years, he has become almost completely isolated relying entirely on support from me which is not easy now that I am getting older. He is not the easiest of people to deal with but I am hopeful that the Volunteers will continue to support him and hope that he will gradually feel able to do more with them.

From a Volunteer:

“I have lived with mental illness in my family all my life, that’s why I volunteered to help others who live with these conditions. Having this close contact with other sufferers has had a huge impact on my understanding of these conditions and changed the way I communicate with and respond to my own relation; it’s made a big difference and our relationship has improved enormously as a consequence. I’m so grateful for this opportunity, it’s taught me so much.”

From a Referring Agency:

“I refer as I know that the service has already made a difference to people that I have referred, and I know that it is a friendly, safe and well-run service. For those with long term mental health conditions, getting support from other services like Adult Services and CMHT is getting harder and harder to access, with long waiting lists, so knowing that support can start quickly after a referral makes a huge difference to many and can prevent a situation escalating into crisis.”

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Looking Ahead: Our Vision for 2025

We currently support over 100 Outreach Members and plan to grow this by 75 Members a year over the next three years. The demand for our Outreach Programme continues to grow, with 18 individuals currently on our waiting list.

There are 10,000 people in Hampshire with a registered diagnosis of a Serious Mental Illness, and the regularity of referrals we receive to our service is evidence of the need for this ongoing support.

In the coming year, we are committed to:

As we continue to grow, we have bold plans to enhance our impact and reach even more people in need. Our Outreach Programme is expanding with the hiring of two new Outreach Home Visitors, ensuring we can support even more individuals. Our fundraising efforts are gaining momentum, with more engagement events and donor opportunities planned to secure vital resources for our mission. We are also scaling up our services, offering more group sessions and activities aimed at improving mental wellbeing and increasing community engagement and connection. We are excited about our growing collaboration with Brighterway, another local charity who we are working closely with to improve mental health in our community. Together we are launching an exhilarating abseil challenge event, bringing the community together for a thrilling initiative that supports our work, raises funds and increases awareness. The future is bright, and we are excited for what is to come!

A Message of Gratitude

As we close the chapter on 2024, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to our donors, partners, volunteers, and supporters. Your contributions make our work possible, ensuring that people with long-term mental health challenges receive the support, dignity, and companionship they deserve.

As we set our sights on 2025, we are more determined than ever. With a passionate team of 6 Outreach staff and 20 dedicated volunteers, we are reaching further, strengthening our impact, and ensuring that more vulnerable individuals with a serious mental illness across the New Forest and Hampshire receive the support they need. The future is bright, and we are excited for what is to come.

Together, we are building a future where no one is left behind.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

With gratitude Sarah Hannant CEO Hammersley Homes

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 2024 to have been broadly similar to the previous year due to the receipt of a number of generous grants and donations.

At then end of 2024 our total reserves were £120,851 which is in line with our reserves policy.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting Policies

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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 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)

1 Summary of significant 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.
