## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The relief of poverty for the benefit of people who are homeless or rough sleepers in Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding area, in particular but not exclusively, by providing short term accommodation and supporting and assisting those homeless persons who want to escape homelessness by providing signposting/advocacy and provide support for up to 3 months to enable rough sleepers to move into more permanent accommodation. 

The aims of the charity are to build a community for those in need of shelter. 

- To offer support to those in need and encourage engagement with other appropriate services, 

- To be part of the solution of homelessness 

- To help transition homeless to stable, suitable, maintainable accommodation and possible employment. 

## **Significant activities** 

The charity provides support to homeless people within Southend City and the surrounding areas to move from chaotic, often abusive lives into independent, self-sufficient lifestyles. Primary support includes the provision of food, clothing, bedding, toiletries, gas & electricity top-ups and all other essential items. Additionally, the charity supports guests in areas of employment, mental health, domestic abuse and alcohol & drug addiction. Off The Streets also supports people in finding & moving into permanent accommodation and provides after support to help them maintain their tenancies. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have considered their requirements for ensuring public benefit and believe that the charity meets these requirements comfortably in light of the work performed. 

## **Grantmaking** 

The charity has no plans to make charitable grants to any individual or charitable body. 

## **Volunteers** 

The charity currently employs two paid staff but otherwise relies on a team of volunteers for service delivery. During 2023, the charity had 35 volunteers on it's books (20 actively involved) together with 8/9 volunteer trustees. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

The charity purchased a former hotel in Westcliff-on-Sea on the 8/3/22 for £610,000. This was achieved through a 4 year bridging loan of £400,000 from a Charitable Trust, an interest free loan of £180,000 from a long standing benefactor and a £50,000 grant from a Family Charitable Trust. Additionally, the charity has continued to build upon a body of loyal monthly donors and has been successful in attracting a range of charitable grants throughout the year. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The charity obtains the majority of it's funding from charitable grants, regular and one off local donations. This is intended to change in future when the charity will review it's funding model and business case. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity’s Reserves ceiling stood at £15,000 up until 30th October 2023 when the Reserves Policy was amended to raise the reserves level. This is now set at a maximum of £36,000, the equivalent of 3 months running costs. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The charity plans to convert the hotel it purchased into a homelessness shelter providing seven en-suite bedrooms, two of which can accommodate homeless couples. A ground floor room will be adapted for accessibility to accommodate disabled homeless people. Before the shelter becomes operational, the charity will seek to raise the funds required to pay for the extensive refurbishment work on the building.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution of organisation and constitutes a charitable incorporated not for profit organisation. 

## **Charity constitution** 

The current constitution was adopted and approved by the trustees on 2nd April 2018, as amended at the charity AGM on 13/8/2022. Copies are available for viewing upon request to the charity registered office. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The recruitment and appointment of all new trustees is outlined in the charity’s Recruitment and Induction of Trustees Policy. 

Whenever a trustee leaves the Board, a skills audit of the trustees will be carried out. Efforts at recruiting a replacement will take account of the skills audit and of the skills being lost by the departure. Consideration must also be given to any specific roles or duties that the individual leaving the Trustees was undertaking. 

Once the ideal skill/experience profile has been identified, a recruitment plan will be formulated. This will identify the most appropriate resources from which applicants might be found. Preference should be given to advertisement through social media, volunteer bureau, direct approaches to professional bodies and to other voluntary organisations. 

Off the Streets seeks to ensure diversity in it's board of trustees as well as in its staff base and consideration will be given to ways in which groups that are under-represented on the board might be reached and encouraged to apply. However, at the point of selection the Trustees will be selected in line with the charity's Equal Opportunities Policy. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The day-to-day operation of the charity is managed by the Shelter Manager and Shelter Supervisor. This includes line management responsibility for the volunteers and Shift Managers. 

The charity's development is supported by three sub-groups consisting of trustees. These include Grants & Fundraising, Comms & Marketing and Building. These sub-groups report to the Board of Trustees which is responsible for the strategic direction of the charity. 

## Operational Management: 

Miss Kirsty Fields - Shelter Manager Ms Karen Fields - Shelter Supervisor 

Charity Development Officer 

The Charity Development Officer, Del Thomas, is a paid employee ostensibly responsible for fundraising & networking. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

All new trustees will be formally contacted in writing to welcome them as a trustee and to confirm their appointment. Off The Streets recognises that a proper induction of trustees is an integral part of the process of ensuring that trustees can become valuable and effective members of the board as quickly as possible 

New trustees will receive an induction pack containing copies of all key documents relating to the work of the charity and to their duties as a trustee. 

Off The Streets is committed to the training, support and development of their trustees in order to increase the contribution that the board can make to the charity’s management. 

The induction process marks the beginning of an on-going programme of trustee training and development and to ensure that trustees can continue to make an effective contribution to the charity. The level of training and support which trustees need, will vary depending on their knowledge and level of experience.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Off the Streets CIO** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Off the Streets CIO** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Off the Streets CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the 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.

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Motor vehicles - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost 

Freehold buildings are valued on a historic cost basis. The building is currently in redevelopment and once completed will be subject to revaluation on a fair value basis. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Hire purchase and leasing commitments** 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**

## **10. TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION AND BENEFITS** 

There were no trustees' remuneration or other benefits for the year ended 31 December 2023 nor for the year ended 31 December 2022.

## **Transfers between funds** 

The transfer between funds represents capital purchases made by restricted grant funds that were transferred to the general fund when the grant conditions were met, for items such as computer equipment. 

Many grants in restricted funds are for the capital development of the charity property. The conditions of the grants are variable, however the charity has adopted a policy of holding the building development addition in restricted funds until such date the building refurbishment is complete, at which point all assets will transfer to the General fund for revaluation at fair value.
