## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year 1 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 2019 (Charities SORP FRS102). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

## **a. Charitable objectives** 

The objectives of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation as set out in its constitution are: 

- providing shelter and support to people in the town and surrounding area of Bishop's Stortford who are homeless or at significant risk of homelessness; 

- providing accommodation, volunteers and food at a night shelter; 

- providing clothing, food and other articles for rough sleepers and others in need; and 

- sign posting people in need to agencies which can help them further. 

## **b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives** 

The charity operates throughout the year, assisting people who are sleeping rough or at imminent risk of sleeping rough. It also attempts to help each user find a route out of homelessness in the most appropriate way. 

It supports users with other issues, including drugs, alcohol, mental health, and financial guidance on move-on options and ongoing support in settled-status. 

It works closely with the local Council's Rough Sleeper Co-ordinator.

## **Objectives and activities (continued)** 

## **c. Achievements and Performance** 

This year was Holy Trinity Night Shelter’s (HTNS) first full opening all year round to support rough sleepers from November to March (with overnight accommodation) and rough sleepers and individuals who were at risk of becoming homeless during the months of March to November (drop in sessions on Monday, Wednesday and Friday or appointments through the week).  19 guests stayed with us through the season , some stayed for one night and others stayed for the whole season.  6 guests moved into settled accommodation, 4 moved into temporary accommodation (provided by East Herts Council), 3 are sofa surfing, 2 are sleeping rough, 1 in prison and 3 who we have no contact with presently. We did not have to turn anyone away. We continue to support anyone who needs our help. The hours we operate the drop in provide an important anchor to a large number of people in the Community, where we work alongside numerous organisations throughout the area in helping them.  The Outreach, that we do all year round, enables us to identify and verify anyone who may have fallen through the safety nets of commissioned services and get them any assistance that they need – or want.  In the past year we have found one missing person and got them back into hospital for vital treatment, helped two young people return to their homes, attended numerous Rough-Sleeper alerts through StreetLink, and been on hand to provide essential items to anybody who turns up at HTNS. 

HTNS also continues to be well supported by the local community and we appreciate the efforts and commitment of the volunteers. Our volunteers enabled us to stay open all season and also helped us host a fantastic Christmas Day lunch for guests and we managed to stay open all day Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s day. 

We HTNS coordinates with East Herts District Council and their Rough Sleeper Unit. The complex nature of everyone we helped was evident this year, alcohol and drugs, combined with ever present Mental Health issues, were again at the forefront.  We had a CGL (drug/alcohol service) worker, Rebecca, visit on a regular basis which has been a massive asset, and she continues to attend on Mondays.  Along with Karen & Georgina, two fantastic Nurses, who have provided medical attention and advice to our Guests, and us! Ben, a social prescriber also treated the guests to a visit and sulloied a much appreciated takeaway. 

We are still working closely with Housing Justice and have now gained a Bronze Quality Mark from them.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Structuring, Governance and Management (continued)** 

## **b. Structuring, Governance and Management** 

The Trustees of the charity are: 

Michelle Jackson Richard Ling Timothy Weeks Simon Marlow Rev Sarah Forrest MB BS Hons Susan Self 

None of whom are remunerated. They are all duly appointed in accordance with clauses 9 and 10 of the charity's constitution. 

The charity employs the following individuals: 

Mr David Perry Ms Jocelyn Guilhaumaud 

Their remuneration is determined by agreement with the trustees and approved by them. Under clause 9 of the Constitution the charity is required to have a minimum of 3 trustees. There is no maximum number of trustees under the constitution. 

Initial terms of service for trustees are provided for by clause 9 of the Constitution and the appointment of any other trustee or the renewal of an existing trustee may be for a period of 2 years. 

There are no related parties with whom the charity has transacted that are owned or managed by the trustees or any member of their families. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **a. Overview** 

Total income was £59,006 & total costs were £49,615 in the year ending December 2023. Total income was £31,350 & total costs were £48,687 in the year ending December 2022. 

Donations went up in 2023. 

Donations were in the main from local charitable concerns such as religious bodies, Rotarians and local and international companies. 

Costs have risen, extra costs were incurred in 2023 assisting guests into more permanent accommodation. 

## **b. Going Concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

Page 4 



## **HOLY TRINITY NIGHT SHELTER & COMMUNITY OUTREACH** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **c. Reserves Policy** 

Trustees consider that total reserves should be set at 24 months operating costs being approximately £100,000. 

Total reserves held as at 31 December 2023 was £107,343 ( _2022 - £97,952_ ). Free reserves, being unrestricted funds not represented by fixed assets were £102,300 ( _2022 - £90,516_ ). 

As the trustees wish to carry out a programme of improvement to the shelter, the extra money is held ready for renovation work. 

## **Funds Held as Custodian Trustee on Behalf of Others** 

There are no arrangements in place where trustees act as custodians for third parties. 

## **d. Principal risks and uncertainties** 

The principal risk is that revenue fundraising may prove difficult, especially identifying regular income over the next few years. 

Another risk is that we rely especially on our Night Shelter Manager and any change of arrangements could significantly affect the night shelter working and outreach. 

## **e. Public benefit** 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s objectives and activities and in planning future activities. 

It is the judgement of the trustees that activities in pursuit of the above objectives fully meet the public benefit test, which they have kept in mind in operational planning. 

## **f. Fundraising** 

Fundraising statement Section 162a of the Charities Act 2011 requires charities to make a statement regarding fundraising activities. 

The legislation defines fundraising as “soliciting or otherwise procuring money or other property for charitable purposes”. Such amounts receivable are presented in our accounts as donations and legacies. 

We have not used the services of any professional fundraiser. We rely on the generosity of local businesses and local people. During this and the previous year no complaints or issues have arisen as a result of fundraising activities 

## **g. Plan for the future** 

It is the intention of the trustees to continue to operate in the next year as may be permitted having regard to the facilities available. 

It is too early to start any significant capital building development work since we need to raise funding and obtain necessary permissions.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); 

- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Holy Trinity Night Shelter & Community Outreach ('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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. 

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

**HOLY TRINITY NIGHT SHELTER & COMMUNITY OUTREACH** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **1. General information** 

Holy Trinity Night Shelter & Community Outreach, registered charity number 1181511, is a UK registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The principal office is South Street, Bishop's Stortford, CM23 3BQ. 

The principal activity of the charity is to provide shelter for the homeless in Bishop's Stortford and the local area. 

## **2. Accounting policies** 

## **2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

Holy Trinity Night Shelter & Community Outreach meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

## **2.2 Income** 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## **2.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. 

Depreciation is provided on the following basis: 

Furniture and Equipment - 33% Straight line Computer equipment - 33% Straight line 

## **2.5 Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **2.6 Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **2.7 Liabilities and provisions** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **2.8 Financial instruments** 

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **2.9 Pensions** 

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **2.10 Fund accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which 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. 

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 costs 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. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
