## **ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **a. Constitution and governing document**
One Newham is a charitable incorporated organisation. The Charity was registered with the Charity Commission in January 2019. The charity’s registration number is 1181534.
The charity is governed by its Constitution dated January 2019.
The governance of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees. Day to day management is by the Network Co-ordinator, who draws on the support and expertise of the highly experienced Board of Trustees as needed.
## **b. Method of appointment or election of Board of Trustees**
Trustees are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution. Regular reviews are held to identify any expertise gaps within the Board of Trustees and appointments are made where required to strengthen the Board of Trustees, subject to all trustees’ approval.
Under the terms of the Constitution, one third of the board retires in rotation every year but can stand for reelection for another two terms of a maximum of three years. Members are invited to nominate candidates for election at the Annual General Meeting. In between general meetings, the board is able to appoint suitable candidates to fill skills gaps. Trustees so appointed then stand for election by the One Newham membership at the following Annual General Meeting.
No other person or external body is entitled to appoint any trustees of the charity. The Trustees who served during the period and after the yearend are shown on page 1.
## **c. Policies adopted for the induction and training of Board of Trustees**
The charity provides new trustees with an induction pack and mentoring from the Chair. The charity has limited resources for formal training of the trustee body. However, on-going training opportunities are announced to trustees when these become available pro bono.

## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
**For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **d. Related party relationships**
The Charity has considered the disclosure requirements of the SORP for related party relationships.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 6 to the accounts.
Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chair of Trustees and to withdraw from decisions where a conflict of interest arises.
The charity also co-operates and liaises with a number of other local charities and public authority departments on behalf of members. Where one of the trustees holds the position of trustee/director of another charity they may be involved in discussions regarding that other charity but not in the ultimate decision-making process.
## **e. Remuneration policy for key management personnel**
In line with our pay policy, the pay of the charity’s Network Co-ordinator is reviewed annually, and normally increased in accordance with inflation, depending on affordability. The trustees also draw on their knowledge of the sector and common practice in other charities of similar size to ensure that the remuneration set is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles.
## **f. Risk management**
The Board of Trustees fully accepts its responsibilities for ensuring that the major risks to which the Charity is exposed are identified, and that there are systems and procedures in place to mitigate those risks.
The Charity is continually monitoring and managing its risk and ensuring action plans are in place to mitigate its key risks. A risk register is in place and is reviewed regularly.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT**
## **a. Purposes and aims**
One Newham is a network of voluntary and community organisations that are rooted in local communities and work to improve the lives of people in Newham. One Newham was created so that members learn from each other, benefit from each other’s strengths and expertise and through collaboration, innovate to find the best solutions to the issues that concern local people and communities, and the funds to support these.
There are currently 201 organisations in membership of One Newham, offering a range of services and opportunities for Newham residents. One Newham members create significant impact, not only for the people who participate in the activities that our members provide, but also for our local communities.
One Newham’s Constitution sets out our Objects, which are to promote the voluntary sector and to promote the efficiency and effectiveness of other charitable organisations for the benefit of the public in London borough of Newham by: -
- Liaising between charities, voluntary organisations, government agencies and other groups on relevant issues
- Assisting in the administration of funding programmes to charities and the voluntary organisations
- Providing training, conferences and seminars on subjects relevant to the efficiency of the voluntary sector
- Providing advice and information on fund-raising techniques appropriate for voluntary organisations and charities

**ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
**For the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **b. Principal activities**
In the year to 31 March 2024, One Newham delivered activities in three main areas:
## **1. Practical facilitation of collaboration and coordination, and relationship building in the sector and with partners**
One Newham hosts and supports a number of Networks that enable voluntary, community and faith sector groups to meet regularly on specific topics and collaborate on responses to the council and to joint bidding for grants and tenders. These networks are run by volunteers from our member organisations and include:
Staywell Partnership - for older people
Newham Youth Partnership
Sustainable Newham / Newham Nature Network
Homelessness Forum
Disability Rep Forum / Residents United Forum (RUF)
Creative Newham
Social Velcro
Disability Arts
Newham Law & Social Justice Collaborative
Advice & Advocacy Forum
We sent out 21 newsletters and another 20 essential member updates by email during the year, keeping members informed about opportunities to collaborate, contribute to developing the sector’s voice, and opportunities for funding and training.
We held two members networking events. This included a corporate volunteers session with ELBA and a health equity session.
One Newham member organisations continued to participate in collaborative projects and programmes to deliver greater and improved services to Newham residents. This included the health inequalities project and Newham’s first Green Fair.
## **2. Sector Voice and Advocacy**
At our AGM in January 2024, our members reviewed their vision for One Newham to be a strong independent voice for the sector, collating the views and ambitions of the sector and advocating for the sector’s needs at key opportunities to influence statutory policy and decision-making. Following discussion, it was agreed that One Newham would focus on ways to support groups such as the Residents United Forum (RUF) and grassroots organisations working with disability and facing discrimination.
An important way of achieving this ambition continued to be the Health Equity project, a demonstrator project funded and supported by North East London (NEL) NHS and Newham Council, which was set up and delivered in 2023/24.

**ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
Health Inequality Project. Part of One Newham’s role is to amplify the voices of community groups in Newham. Some of our grassroots member organisations raised their concerns about the serious health inequalities being experienced by their group members and service users in Newham, particularly relating to members of specific ethnic communities. In the previous year, One Newham organised workshops with member organisations to hear their concerns and to co-produce a service model that would improve the support available to Newham residents experiencing health inequality. The service model developed was innovative in placing a role similar to a social prescriber in the community rather than in a statutory setting. The model created roles for advisers who were members of the communities experiencing the most significant health inequality and could build trust through shared ethnicity, faith, culture and language. London Borough of Newham Public Health team and the Integrated Care System covering Newham jointly funded a six-month test-and-learn pilot. The model was also innovative because it involves a larger “host” organisation with the governance and credentials to satisfy statutory funders, working with three smaller grassroots organisations with less developed governance and infrastructure but deep reach and trust in their communities. The host organisation provided contract management, managed reporting and provided payroll employment for three advisors. Still, the three advisors come from the communities impacted by health inequality and were appointed and worked within the grassroots community groups. The pilot involved three One Newham member organisations – Salem Health Project, Heal Together CIC and Blossom CIC who together support members of South Asian, Somali and Frenchspeaking Black African communities.
This year, we reported on the project, publishing the learning highlights related to its aim: to reach communities with low engagement in health services and test whether a project that engages grassroots community groups—where people already have a sense of belonging and are better placed to achieve access, relevance, and trust for residents—can reduce health inequalities rather than projects delivered by groups that are too big or wide for people to identify with.
## Highlights include:
- Heath Advisers made referrals OUT to 138 agencies.
- Some client needs were intensive - 11 clients were referred to four or more agencies
- Many clients had economic needs – referrals had to be made to Food Banks, Housing, Financial Support, Legal advice
- Referrals were made to GPs and health agencies
Project participants across all three grassroots organisations completed two well-being questions as part of the initial registration form, self-assessing on a scale of one to five. Around 30% (n=34) of registered clients were able to revisit the initial health and wellbeing questions. Over half of those responding reported an increase in their health and well-being, and two-thirds said they were more confident in managing their health.
A grant from the City Bridge Foundation greatly aided activities in this area. It allowed the employment of a network coordinator who was tasked with facilitating and enhancing opportunities for Newham organisations that traditionally find it difficult to have their voices heard.
**3. Administering a grants programme for small community groups and charities in Newham.**
In 2023/24, the Westfield Better Places 2030—Newham Community Fund continued, and Westfield Stratford City donated another grant to One Newham. This enabled us to provide a grant scheme for small charities, community, and voluntary groups in Newham. In 2023/24, we were pleased to receive match funding from the City Bridge Foundation, which enabled us to expand the grant scheme and offer ‘secondstep’ grants.
The scheme ran two funding rounds in the year, offering a maximum of twenty £500 grants to small groups to improve their capacity, capability, and sustainability. The grant enables One Newham to support groups with a yearly turnover of under £50,000. It provides funding for equipment, governance improvements, social media, and digital capabilities to groups that meet the published criteria.

## **ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
The second-step grant scheme offered up to £1,000 in grants for groups previously receiving a Newham Community Fund grant and provided additional, tailored, and individualised support. This included oneto-one mentoring to improve groups' governance and assistance to groups that would otherwise experience a barrier to applying due to lack of digital access, language, physical, or learning disability.
Grant decisions are made by a panel which includes a representative of a One Newham member with income above the qualification threshold and thereby ineligible to benefit from the scheme themselves, as well as an independent experienced grant administrator. Both these sector representatives receive fees to reimburse the time they contribute to the scheme's running. The panel also benefited from Westfield Stratford City representation. The second-step grant panel included a grant fund manager from the City Bridge Foundation.
Westfield also provided grantees with free online training on marketing, social media, and Health & Safety / Risk Assessments through the Newham Community Fund.
## **4. Other activities**
In addition to these main activities, One Newham continued to support RUF (Residents United Forum) disability network, a fledging One Newham network which is establishing itself as a Deaf and Disabled People’s Organisation and a registered charity in its own right. RUF had secured a new grant from the Greater London Authority of £9,000 to run the Hidden Voices public advocacy project to raise the voice of disabled people in Newham. One Newham was holding the grant on behalf of RUF whilst they obtained their Charity Commission registration, which has now been received. One Newham’s support and hosting have been vital to supporting this fledgling network to build its capacity and capability and fill a significant gap for disabled Newham residents who often feel unheard and ignored. It was agreed that One Newham would prioritise this to help them feel heard.
## **c. Public benefit**
The Board of Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE: REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES FOR THE YEAR**
The trustees review the charity's aims, objectives, and activities each year. This report examines the charity’s achievements and outcomes during the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to the groups it is set up to help.
The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity’s aims, objectives and activities remain focused on its
stated purposes.
When reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and planning its future activities, the trustees have referred to the guidance in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. In particular, they consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
In each of these areas, One Newham, through our members, had a positive impact on the viability, sustainability and delivery potential of voluntary sector organisations and, through them, delivered improved services and outcomes for Newham residents.
1. **Practical facilitation of collaboration and coordination, and relationship building in the sector and with partners**
One Newham is delighted to be fostering and supporting collaboration across the sector. This has a number of benefits. In some instances, it has allowed partnerships of voluntary sector organisations to be formed who have then been able to secure substantial grant funding for new programmes for Newham residents, such as the successful Creative Newham network. In other instances,

## **ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
collaboration has enabled marginalised and excluded voices of residents to be given greater support. This has particularly been the case with creating the disability network Residents United Forum. Prior to the creation of this network there was no pan-Newham disability network operating of substantial scale or impact appropriate to the level of disability experienced by Newham residents. The group, which is led by people who have lived experience of disability, is being supported by One Newham in the early stages of its development through mentoring and guidance and holding the first grant funding (GLA Roots Incubator grant) for the network whilst they set up their own bank account and governance arrangements.
One Newham member organisations continued to participate in collaborative projects and programmes to deliver greater and improved services to Newham residents.
The Newham Mental Health Connector programme’s pilot phase was a success. It is now moving from the pilot phase to a wider rollout across Newham. This will involve more community groups in Newham in delivering the programme and enable them to access the funding available.
The Newham Advice Partnership is a collaborative programme born from the One Newham Advice and Advocacy Network. Consisting of Ascension Community Trust, RAMFEL, Mary Ward Legal Centre, Citizens Advice and Community Links, the partnership secured two-year GLA funding to bring in much-needed funding to improve the desperately scarce advice services available in Newham, with funding topped up by Newham Council. The GLA has agreed to a six-month extension of this funding. The service delivers advice during foodbank sessions run by other One Newham members such as Bonny Downs Community Association, and Ascension Community Trust. This is an example of a wide-ranging collaboration drawing on the strengths of different partner organisations and bringing in funds into Newham that would not have been secured without a partnership on this scale. The service addresses a massive gap in support for Newham residents.
One Newham continued facilitating Sustainable Newham after its launch in February 2023, supported by LBN’s Community Assemblies funding. Sustainable Newham is a network of people and organisations working together to make Newham more environmentally friendly and sustainable. It offers a forum to share resources and learning and coordinate action across Newham.
Newham’s first Green Fair, coordinated by One Newham, was held at Forest Lane Park on May Day, 2023, to showcase all things Green and sustainable. The fair had 60 stalls selling local produce, food, and upcycled goods. It also offered repair cafes, workshops, information on local initiatives (such as community gardens), speakers, and a well-being area—including Tai Chi. Over 1,500 visitors attended the Green Fair, including the Mayor of Newham and many local councillors.
Community engagement is at the heart of Sustainable Newham, and to that end, we set up a Sustainable Newham steering group and a specific steering committee to help organise the next Green Fair.
We have also worked closely with the Royal Docks Centre for Sustainability since its launch in December 2023, as well as with LBN’s climate action team, helping to share their Just Transition plan, which was also launched in December 2023.
We successfully applied for and were awarded an LBN People Powered Places grant for a gazebo project. This grant allowed us to buy 20 gazebos and hire them out to local community groups to support events.
## 2. **Sector Voice and Advocacy**
At our AGM in January 2024, our members reviewed their vision for One Newham: to be a strong, independent voice for the sector, collating its views and ambitions and advocating for its needs at key opportunities to influence statutory policy and decision-making.
In particular, our members wanted to be heard and build relationships with the council. They clearly preferred a collaborative approach and felt that One Newham should continue striving towards reconciliation as Newham’s infrastructure organisation and sector voice.

## **ONE NEWHAM**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2024**
This led to:
- One Newham continuing regular dialogue & meetings with the mayor of Newham, to raise concerns
- ● One Newham representing the sector VCFS leadership group at system level for example, on the integrated healthcare system board (ICS)
- A formal submission was made to the consultation on the next stage of the Newham Local Plan covering the sector’s thoughts on areas as wide-ranging as the opportunity to make use of disused buildings, provision of facilities and homes for rough sleepers, and improvements to how public spaces are made accessible for people with disability, impairments or limited mobility.
- A more detailed contribution to a specific council consultation on the provision of community space set out the sectors’ preferences for how community space is charged for, how it is used, and how plans need to comprehensively cover both - spaces owned by the sector and by statutory bodies. We also commented on the Green & Blue space plan.
- The sector manifesto, which sets out nine Ambitions covering how the sector is positioned as an equal partner, involved in upstream decision-making, influences investment, champions inclusion and rights, and maximises residents' trust in sector organisations, has continued to be widely shared. The manifesto also covers improved practices in procurement and communications.
It is too early to say whether these opportunities to raise the sector's collective voice have changed statutory policy or approach. Still, members have welcomed the chance to express their views and identify what changes could make them more effective as organisations, thereby improving support and services to Newham residents.
3. **Administering a grants programme for small community groups and charities in Newham.** In the third year of the Westfield Better Places 2030 Community Fund, One Newham awarded 20 grants of up to £500 each to small charities, community groups, and voluntary groups in Newham.
In addition to one-to-one support on issues like governance, the grantees have benefited from training sessions delivered by volunteers from Westfield Stratford City staff on areas such as marketing and websites, health and safety, and charity registration.

1. Friends of Abbey Gardens

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **a. Summary**
One Newham has ended the year with an unrestricted surplus of £5,780 and a restricted surplus of £40,324.
The principal sources of income are set out in the section on the charity’s activities. These include grants from various sources and fees for participating in various projects.
We received funds for the Health Inequalities Project during the year ending March 2023, which we spent during the year ending March 2024. Hence, our expenses were greater than our income for the year.
One Newham does not undertake any fundraising activities other than applying for grants. The Network Coordinator makes grant applications, which are assisted by individual trustees, staff of member organisations, or paid consultancy support. However, the Trustees of One Newham are always responsible for and control the applications.
As of January 2024, the charity’s main source of expenditure became the salary of the newly appointed Network Coordinator. Before then, expenditure included administering the Westfield Community grants scheme for small Newham community groups (including providing one-to-one mentoring support for some of the grantees) and spending on the grants themselves. Some consultancy costs have been incurred in supporting One Newham member activities, such as facilitating the AGM and other member meetings, supporting administration tasks, and handling member queries and requests for help and guidance.
One Newham’s unrestricted reserves at the end of the year were £5,780 (£10,136 at the previous year end). One Newham’s restricted reserves at the end of the year were £40,324 (previous year: £80,844). This consists of:
- £2,000 Westfield Community Grants – amount unpaid at the year-end. £1,500 has been awarded, and £500 will be included in the grant scheme for the following year.
- £5,150 City Bridge Foundation Second Step grants. These were awarded but remained unpaid at yearend.
- £15,921from the City Bridge Foundation for the Voice project, to be spent in 2024/25.
- £4,584 GLA grants and donations held on behalf of RUF disability network which is due to be invoiced after the year end.
- £7,819 grants from LBN and NEL ICS for the health equalities project, due to be spent in 2024/25.
- ● £4,850 from the Forest Gate and Maryland Community Assembly for a Community Gazebo Project, due to be spent in 2023/24.
## **b. Reserves Policy**
The trustees believe that One Newham should hold financial reserves in order to ensure that the charity can continue to operate and meet the needs of member organisations in the event of unforeseen circumstances and financial risk.
Trustees have considered the reliability and continuance of future funding, timing of cash flows and working capital requirements, cover for unplanned emergency works and potential liabilities to staff in the event of the closure of a particular activity.
Given the growth in income and expenditure and to secure the future of services, trustees decided to work towards a reserve position of three months' operating expenditure. For 2023-24, this equates to £28,000. The actual free reserves as of 31 March 2024 were £5,780. This is lower than desired, and plans are in place to grow reserves to the required level.

## **c. Going Concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
## **TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable incorporated organisation and of the incoming resources and application of resources for that period. In doing so the trustees are required to:
- •[Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; ]
- •[Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ]
- •[State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures ] disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- •[Follow the methods and principles of the Charity SORP; and ]
- •[Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the ] charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and the group and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
