Mission, Objectives and Strategy

OUR VALUES

We will always strive to create:

Objectives

The objects of the CIO are to relieve people with learning disability and/or mental health needs, with or without a physical impairment, in particular, but not exclusively, such persons of the Jewish faith.

The short term and longer term aims and objectives.

The aims of the charity are to provide residential care and supported living accommodation in the Manchester area in adapted accommodation and to provide community support that is coordinated from the domiciliary team. We acquire more mobility accessible accommodation to meet the growing needs of service users. To also increase its offer of leisure and social opportunities via the community hub and café.

The charity's strategies for achieving its aims and objectives in the future .

The charity looks to achieve its strategic aims and carry out its operational objectives of the year by working closely with Local Authority Social Service Departments and Health Authorities in determining and providing for the needs of its service users.

The contribution of volunteers during the year.

Have been fortunate to have continued funding for the post of a volunteer Manager. We have had volunteers who have helped us with the running of the café, open days and events within the community hub. Volunteers have been focused on, helping to run the community hub coffee lounge, making and serving coffees, drinks and food. They have given their time not only physically helping in the coffee lounge but also completing the food handling certificates.

Structure, Governance and Management

Structure

The governing document of the charity is the constitution of the CIO as approved by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW).

The governing document is dated 15 April 2019.

The trustees are all individuals.

The policies and procedures for the induction and training of trustees .

The Board keeps the skill requirements for the trustee body under review and provides additional training where necessary. All new Trustees receive an induction programme, which covers strategic and operational objectives, documentation, obligations, and staffing structures. The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises of

Governance

The charity's organisational structure.

Outreach is a CIO governed by a Constitution dated 15 April 2019. There were three first trustees. The trustees have the power to appoint additional trustees. Apart from the first trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as trustees, the trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

The members of the CIO are its trustees. The only persons eligible to be members of the CIO are its trustees. The trustees may create associate or other classes of non-voting membership and determine the rights and obligations of such members.

Any decision to amend the constitution, merge, wind up or dissolve the CIO must be made by member resolution.

The trustees may designate any of their meetings as a general meeting of the members.

There is a finance subcommittee which consists of the treasurer Barry Fine, Ivor Silver, the finance Manager and the Chief Executive and meets at least 8 times a year.

How the charity makes decisions and how decisions are delegated.

There is a document which outlines the decision-making process which dictates levels of decisions and delegated authority, which has been approved by trustees.

There are clear distinctions between the role of trustees and the leadership team. The board of trustees holds a range of reserved matters and delegates certain authority to the executive team in order to run the organisation efficiently. Matters such as policy, strategy and budgets are prepared by the leadership team for consideration and approval by the trustees, who then monitor the implementation of these plans. There are a number of board committees with clear terms of reference.

The committees include:

Finance - which ensures the board receives the appropriate financial information for planning, performance monitoring and major decisions. The minutes of the meetings are made available to all trustees on a timely basis. The committees meet at least 8 times per annum.

External pay benchmarking via the use of market data taken from sector pay surveys and reports.

We have a range of detailed human resource policies to support our charitable objectives, which are reviewed regularly and ensure compliance with employment legislation.

Outreach Community and Residential Services TRUSTEES' REPORT

for the financial year ended 31 March 2024

Review of Activities, Achievements and Performance The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

In the period to 31 March 2024 the charity provided over 7 social, community and wellbeing services for adults who have a learning disability, mental health needs, sensory or physical impairment. The charity continues to provide residential support services for 14 people within 2 houses and 6 flats and 30 within supported living services (29 service users in 2023). Within the C.S.T Domiciliary service, have provided 4 service users (7 service users in 2023) with approximately 116 hours of support per week. The organisation provides sessions via the drop-in centre, offering leisure and social opportunities for service users.

Receiving an uplift from Bury MBC of 12.4% to enable us to pay staff above the real living wage.

Fundraising activities during the year.

The fundraising consultant Marie Davies and her assistant Jeff Massey have been supporting us with fundraising in particular for the Community hub and café. We reduced the hours on the contract due to the pandemic. They are now working one day a week continuing to create a pipeline of donors and applying for funds on our behalf. It has not been as successful as we would have liked however, it has raised funds we would not have otherwise received. They have focused on creating a data base of funders and significant grant givers, some of these will be repeat funders who will donate to Outreach year after year.

Financial Review

Cuts to local authority funding is continuing to have an impact within health & social care. The Organisation has tried to achieve full cost recovery from the local authorities who are the main purchasers of services.

The overall Deficit for the period before revaluations was £27,306 (2023 Deficit £27,427). The Trustees expect the charity to operate in the future with a small surplus with a full occupancy.

During this period Fundraising costs for 2024 were £18,505 (2023 £18,066). The majority of costs were generated by M Davies for raising funds on our behalf. Income from fundraising was £46,015 (2023 £54,759).

Income from Legacies was £0 (2023 £1,000).

The trustees are grateful to the donors for their continued support.

Results

At the end of the financial year the charity has assets of £1,480,511 (2023 - £1,522,520) and liabilities of £242,263 (2023 - £279,287). The net assets of the charity have decreased by £(4,985).

Reserves Position and Policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at a level sufficient to cover management and support costs during periods of fluctuating income. The organisation has taken and is taking steps to ensure that cash flow covers the obligations of the present level of activity.

There are no projects that have been commenced which require further capital of funding.

The trustees confirm on a fund-by-fund basis that the charity's assets are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of the charity. The trustees plan to retain monies in the next few years to replenish the reserves to a level suitable to the new level of operations.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The trustees have assessed the major risk to which the charity is exposed, in particular, those related to the operations and finance of the trust, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the trust's exposure to major risk.

The Trustees are responsible for ensuring effective risk management and ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to manage risks. Corporate risks are reviewed by the Trustees to satisfy themselves that adequate controls are in place. On an ongoing basis operational risks are reported to every management meeting (six per year) to keep them abreast and up to date with the main current issues and the actions being taken to mitigate these risks. Over the reporting period the main risks identified centred around the ability of the organisation to respond to changes in demand and to achieve fee increases in line with the predicted growth in costs, especially with the cost implications of the National Real Living Wage, which local authorities are asking us to pay staff. This in turn may affect the ability of the organisation to meet its liabilities. Another major risk is the continuing decrease in Local Authority funding which has been made worse by the pandemic. Another major risk is the ability of the organisation to attract and retain the necessary level of staff to support services and to provide a fair, equitable and competitive pay and reward package.

Outreach Community and Residential Services TRUSTEES' REPORT

for the financial year ended 31 March 2024

Also, our workforce in particularly at management level is aging and we need to be succession planning. To help alleviate these risks the organisation has invested in new marketing materials to attract potential service users, staff and volunteers. In addition, to focus more time to help identify new areas of demand and support on submitting tenders.

The key priorities are as follows:

In accordance with the Constitution, the trustees retire by rotation and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

Investment policy and investment objectives.

The investment in assets such as properties is vested in the Custodian Trustees and are held by them.

The trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they see fit.

The charity's principal assets are properties, which are used as accommodation for residential care and supported living service users and have been acquired in accordance within the powers of the governing instrument. These were acquired for the purpose of providing accommodation for service users, and as such the trustees regard this as being held for a long term. The property assets of the Trust are included in the accounts at valuation, as at 31 March 2024 using the house price index for the local authority area (an external valuation took place in 31 March 2023). It is the trustees' intention that external revaluations are done on a triennial basis.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Outreach Community and Residential Services

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the charity financial statements of Outreach Community and Residential Services ('the charity') for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies set out in note 2. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland", applying Section 1A of that Standard and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.

In our opinion, when reporting in accordance with a fair presentation framework the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other Information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our Auditor's Report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Outreach Community and Residential Services

Responsibilities of trustees for the financial statements

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities set out on page 9, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

•the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

•we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with trustees, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the charity sector;

•we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charity, including the Charities Act 2011, taxation legislation, data protection, antibribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;

•we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of trustees and inspecting legal correspondence; and

•identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

•making enquiries of trustees as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;

•considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

•performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

•tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

•assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias;

•investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions; and

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

•agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

•reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

•enquiring of trustees as to actual and potential litigation and claims;

•reviewing correspondence with HMRC, the Charity Commission and the charity’s legal advisors; and There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT to the Members of Outreach Community and Residential Services

Further information regarding the scope of our responsibilities as auditor

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.

Fund accounting

The following are the categories of funds maintained:

Restricted funds

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law.

Unrestricted funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Income

Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.

Income from charitable activities

Voluntary income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable.

Grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the statement of financial activities in the year in which they are receivable.

Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.

Legacies are included when the charity is advised by the personal representative of an estate that payment will be made or property transferred and the amount involved can be quantified.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the statutory requirements of the charity.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:

Land and buildings freehold - at valuation Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 15% Net Book Value

Leasing

Rentals payable under operating leases are dealt with in the profit and loss account as incurred over the period of the rental agreement.

Investments

Current asset investments are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Debtors

Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months’ notice of withdrawal.

Taxation

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Pensions

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Annual contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate
