The CIO was established in 2019, born from the work of Wessex Resolutions CIC. Since 2012-13, Navigates' financial inclusion services were delivered as part of the work of Wessex Resolutions CIC (WRCIC). The WRCIC Board of directors considered how they might focus attention even more effectively on their commitments to the delivery of financial inclusion services and during 2018 the WRCIC board of directors undertook an organisational review. As a result, Navigate was formed and is a new Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered on the 13th February 2019 Charity number 1182020.

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
As a new charity there have been funding challenges especially during the pandemic, specificallyin securing grant funding to support project and operational costs. The pandemic has created further funding challenges as Navigate currently rely on grant funding and donations to cover running costs, many funders who would support our charitable purposes suspended applications for grants. Charities who rely on fundraising activities, have been unable to self-generate income, resulting in a huge volume of applications for those grant funders still accepting applications.
Although there is a huge need to support people in the here and now, the lack of funding opportunities to develop and deliver services as we move into the "recovery" phases of Covid19 will be a huge challenge for Navigate.
The economic climate continues to remain a difficult one and competition for funding is high. However, during the year Navigate have secured £594,192 in grant, contract and donation income and have managed budgets effectively with a year-end operating surplus of £56,610. Much of this comes from redesigning our services to respond to the pandemic and being unable to deliver home visiting services.
In response to governments' guidance in relation to the Coronavirus, all face to face activities ceased during 2020-21 and Navigate staff were instructed to work from home. The client group that we support have complex and multiple needs. We have found that even with additional support, many of our clients are unable to access or act on advice given over the phone and do not have the digital access or knowledge to be able to seek advice via digital channels. As many services move further towards digital advice, we fear that many isolated and excluded individuals and families will be harder to reach. We expect a significant surge in demand and need for our services as restrictions lift.
The pandemic has reinforced the need for our specialist services. Although we recognise that we will have to operate differently for the foreseeable future, we are committed to providing face to face advice to be able to support those who need us most, while ensuring staff, volunteer and client safety.
The charity has no debts.
We have continued to build effective partnerships with likeminded organisations. Navigate work with a wide range of statutory and voluntary sector organisations and believe strongly that partnership work adds value to the activities and communities we work with; building the financial resilience of individuals and reducing the stress and anxiety of many enabling them to open the door to greater community engagement and improved wellbeing.
Navigate has a formal partnership with Encompass Southwest known as "Wiser£money". The Wis£rmoney partnership was formed in 2012 and currently delivers a number of Financial Inclusion services across Devon and operates under a formal partnership agreement. This partnership demonstrates that cooperative working reduces duplication of services and builds capacity with shared back of house resources.
Reserves Policy
At the end of this year the CIC have £85,174 in reserves which will be held in accordance with our reserves policy as set by the Board of Trustees. The Trustees are working towards holding unrestricted reserves to cover 6 months budgeted turnover (a target of approximately £300,000). As at 31st March 2021 unrestricted reserves of £38,406 were held falling vastly short of the target reserve policy. As a relatively new charity, it is expected to take a number of years to build the unrestricted reserves to the target monthly coverage.
Final Thoughts
In what has been a difficult year for the whole Country the Trustees very much appreciate the dedication & commitment that all the staff have shown in order to continue the work of Navigate. Mel Allen continues to work tirelessly in supporting her staff and is the driving force behind the success of Navigate.
We all look forward to 2021/22 when our services can be provided in full.
A big THANK YOU from the Trustees to all.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2021
7. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued
Transfers between funds
The Somerset Community Foundation fund had costs in excess of their income streams during the year, to prevent the funds going into a deficit position, the trustees have agreed to transfer funds to the extent of the overspend from the unrestricted reserves. The trustees have retained the option to reverse the transfers at such time that the restricted funds are replenished by income streams and those grants allow for pre granted expenditure to be covered by the restriction.
