Objects
The Objects of the Charity are: The prevention or relief of poverty through providing those sleeping on the street in London with access to free and safe storage units. The Charity also provides a storage transport service and one to one advice, information and signposting. The charity also works alongside many local and national partner organisations, outreach teams and emergency response teams to encourage multi-agency working and a greater breadth of impact for the people it serves.
Review of Activities
Within this period, Trustees met on the following dates: Trustee Meetings: 28th September 2022 7th December 2022 23rd January 2023 20th March 2023
Strategy Day + Trustee Meeting:
There was no Strategy Day in this period.
Stats - In this financial period, we had 475 total referrals. This is a 1.72x increase from the 21-22 period. Out of these, 249 were accepted for storage in total. As of 24/10/2023, out of the 475 referrals from this period, 106 (22.32%) are currently stored with us, 125 (26.31%) have taken back their belongings. A large number (163, 34.32%), didn't follow up post-referral and others were not accepted or found alternative solutions.
Street homelessness remains the main reason for referral, at 223 people (46.95%), closely followed by eviction at 97 people, 20.42% and the majority of these stored referrals remain at our Haggerston unit. Out of those people, people on average stay 116 days or 3.9 months before being released. For more stats on nationality, age, gender, average time stored etc please see our Annual Report-which also includes a handy comparison to FY 2021/2.
Staff and Volunteers - This financial period saw Cameron Dos-Santos and Daniella Delmonte join us as we continued our internal growth. Cameron was hired as a Service Administrator in September 2022 and is part of the Hackney and Learning Curve Apprenticeship Scheme. He manages all our supplies and systems. Daniella joined the team in May 2023 as a Referral Support Worker on the front line of the organisation to support service delivery and further build our Street Storage community. Read more about them in our 2022/3 Annual Report. Notable mentors and volunteers in this period included Chris Newburn, Gemma Zabbar, Guy Davis and Mark Kitson.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023
Operational Developments - Street Storage used this financial period and new hires to develop our internal systems and operations as well as in 2023 begin the legal leasing process of a move into a much larger London HQ, planned for FY 2023/4. We developed our Social Media Strategy and improved the relevance and frequency of our content. We significantly improved our impact reporting through Salesforce, improving our collation and analysis of data - both qualitative and quantitative, our infographics and our stats. We created a donor newsletter to engage our supporters and sought pro bono legal support to see through the lease of our new London HQ in Highbury and began the hiring process for a Replication Manager to take Street Storage across the UK for the first time!
Events and Campaigns - his year saw the release of our Street Storage Animation, supported by HelpFilm and voiced by Gail Porter which was introduced alongside our Everyday Campaign (Nov 22). We attended many networking, fundraising and sector events including the Housing Sector Leaders Conference (June 23), a panel for International Women's Day (May 23), The Homelessness Commemoration Service (Nov 22) and the Cinnamon Leaders Retreat (Jan 23).
Partnerships - Notable partners in this financial period included Aspen Insurance, BPL Global, The Cinnamon Network, LUSH Retail, the Southall Black Sisters and CMS-CMNO.
Please see the Street Storage 2021/22 Annual Report for further details on our beneficiaries, our fundraising, our supporters, our volunteer activities, our service impact and future growth plans.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern
Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP 2015) (Second Edition, effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern
Incoming Resources
Recognition of Incoming Resources
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.
Grants and Donations
Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.
Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants
This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.
Gifts in Kind
Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated Services and Facilities
These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.
Investment Income
This is included in the accounts when receivable.
Investment Gains and Losses
This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Expenditure and Liabilities
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.
Governance Costs
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
Grants with Performance Conditions
Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants Payable without Performance Conditions
These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the charity.
Investments
Investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees' best estimate of market value.
Pensions
Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable.
Unrestricted funds
These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Restricted funds
These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of appeals for special offerings for specific purposes.
Designated funds
These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects.
Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied are as follows:
Fixtures, Fittings and Equipment
25% - Reducing Balance Basis
2. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
The CIO held no tangible fixed assets during this or the previous financial period.
The annual commitments under non-cancelling operating leases and capital commitments are as follows: 31st July 2023 : None 31st July 2022 : None

15. RISK ASSESSMENT
The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
16. RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure.
