Supporting people out of homelessness for good Evidence showsthat for many people experiencing homelessness, personalised support is crucial to avoid returning to homelessness. At st Petrocs, we believe everyone should be treated as an individual and that their unique identity is vital in providing the support that they need. Our experienced staff develop relationships with clients to build support plans wtth them to meet their needs. We encourage people to take ownership of their options and choices rather than assume we knowwhat is best for them.

St Petrocs Trustees, a nnual report For theyear ended37 March 2024 Achlevements and perf0rrnan {formlng part of the stratsgic report) Hwrfe vrfe met our obJectIve. Sadly, the demand for St Petrocs, services remains very high. Pressures include the number of people who are seeking our help, rising living costs, including increasing rent levels in the private sector which have not been matched by increases to income, and a squeeze on the availability of genuinely affordable properties for local communities. All of this has led to increased rates of homelessness in Cornwall. Official figures show that levels of rough sleeping nationally. and in Cornwall, have increased dramatically in the last few years During theyear we have worked with a total of 1304 clients. St Petrocs, homeless support services, located in our resource centres in Truro and Penzance, offer people who are sleeping rough. and those vulnerably housed, help to find new accommodation, together with general advice on issues related to housing, benefits and independent living. Food and clothes stores are available, as well as laundry and shower facilities. Homeless support seNices are available as drop-in sessions., appointments are made for assessments and other in-depth work Other activities, run by volunteers, include art and IT sessions, coffee corner and supper club&The Resource Centre in Truro had 3,617 visits during the year and Penzance 4522 Our Outreach team engagewith people who are sleeping rough or at risk of losing their tenancy, to draw them into our homeless SUPPOrt service& link them into other services or failing that, try to secure their personal safety and well-being. The team has a presence in a number of established community centres and other agency drop-in centres across Cornwall so that our services and advice can be delivered within existing community networ1. Our Outreach team engaged with those who are street homeless across the county on 2.8 occasions. Our Winter Services provide emergency accommodation to people experiencing homelessness during the coldest months of the year. Since the pandemic. our winter services have been delivered in a 'dispersed" manner to accommodate people who would othewise be sleeping outside. This year, utilising 27 hotels and guest houses spread across the county to keep people safely indoors close to their local network of support 54 individuals were accommodated for an aggregate of 1,295 individual stays over 90 nights. 81% of those individua5s did not return to the Streets. This year we were able to provide emergency accommodation in Penzance with thanks to the Department of Levelling Up Housing and Communities who awarded us a two-year grant to deliver this specific place based work due tothe significant demand in the area. Our Freshfield seICe provides a telephone advice-line for those who wish to discuss any aspect of addiction. This includes individuals living with addiction. affected others and frontline professionals. A bespoke face to face counselling service is also available for clients and residents.

Volunteers Since launching our newvolunteering programme in April 2022.we have developed a robust and successful onboarding process for our volunteer& We have been able to develop this work to rebuild our volunteer base following the pandemic due to funds from the National Lottery Community Fund's Awards forAII programme. We are attracting volunteers wtth a wide range of skills and knowledge to bring to the organisation, and during the year we had 242 volunteers. Feedback from them is that they feel supported and welcomed to the organisation from the very start of their volunteering journey with us and understand the importance of the rolethey have at St Petrocs. We areworking to expand ourcorporatevolunteering opportunitiesalongsidetheworkwith our business supporter Our plan is to develop more opportunities for our clients to volunteer withirÈ our own services. There are a number of examples where clients have volunteered with us either whilst still receiving support or once they have successfully moved awayfrom homelessness. We intend to develop a structured programme for people to slay involved with St Petrocs and contribLTte to the mission of ending homelessness in Cornwall. In the lastyearwe were nominated for a King'sAward forvolunteering in recognition of our work with volunteers overthe year We have maintained our tradition of providing training for students studying BA and MA Social Studies at the University of Plymouth. During the period we provided four placements. We are currently exploring opportunities with the local universtties to engage more students in volunteering to add value to our work Fundralsing and Engagement St Petrocs is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and has committed to its voluntary code of conduct. We are also members of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and maintain best practice in our work. People are at the heart of what we do, and that includes our supporter& Therefore. we believe in strengthening supporter relationships through good and appropriate communications,. by saying Yhankyou" in the rightway, bytaking thesupporteron a journeywith a viewthatthrough good experiences,they maywishto donate again. Ourfocus is on the donation experience being les5 transactional and more personal. For thi5 reason, we do not undertake direct fundraising campaigns to the general public or use third parties for this purpose. The St Petrocs style of stewardship is well established and embedded across the organisation. In the last year, having delivered the aims of our fundraising strategy, we have brought together the fundraising, communications, supporter care, community engagement and volunteering functions in the organisation to develop greater engagement both internally and externally.
St Petrocs Trustees, annual report For theyear ended37 March 2024 Fundraising and Engagement [continued) Priorities in our engagement over the last year have included embedding a culture of stewardship across all our worK meaningftjl Storytelling to engage, diversify and increase fundraising income, under5tsnding our audience and analysing giving trends within our organisation to help set our direction for our fundraising strategy. Lastyear we held a series of events including our 10th Eden Sleep Out event and ourfirst Charity Dinner both raising over aO,000 each. We have received grant funding from a number of organisationsthisyear including Albert Hunt Trust, Cornwall Community Foundation, Cornwall Council. the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, Garfield Weston Foundation andthe UKShared Prosperity Fund. We are incredibly grateful to all those organisations which support our work through grants each year and maintaining and developing relationships with grant funders will continue to be an integral part of our fundraising strategy. A positive development of our grant funding over the lastyear has been the *curing of some multi-year grantswherewe havefunds pledged overthe next two years. We have also been grateful to have received a generous donation from an individual of £50.000. Ourannual WinterAppeal,which i5SUPPOrtedwidelybymembersofthe community in Cornwall, including numerous local churches. voluntary group& and local businesses, raised 090573, our highest evertotal and a IO% increase on the previousyear. We are pleased to report thatwe have not received anycomplaints about any of ourfundraising activities. Partnets Our ambition to end homelessness in Cornwall will require sustained endeavour over the long- term. It will only be achieved through co-ordinated, collaborative effort and we need to look to all sections of society to be part of the solution. By addressing the root causes of homelessness, increasing the availability of genuinely affordable housing for local people, providing adequate supportservices, and involving all parts ofthecommunity,we canworktogethertowardsa future where everyone has a safe and secure placeto all home. Working with other organisations allows us to access, develop, and share best practice, have influence, use evidenceto effect change, obtain help for ourclientsfrom other agencies without duplication of worl develop our seNices in the future and secure funding.

St Petrocs Trustees, annual report For theyear ended31 March 2024 Partners (continued) We launched our own Business Club last year and are pleased to have formally welcomed 17 businesses who have collectively raised over £30,000 in the last year in financial donations alone. Our presence is well established in the local business community in Cornwall and we are also well supported by businesses beyond our business club. Furthermore. we have developed very strong relationships with a number of private landlords which have continued to enable us to increase our levels of supported accommodation in response to the demand we face. We continue to work with local agencies and churches in working toward our ambition of ending homelessnes We have been delivering community events which have been a great development in our work to engage people across the whole organisation in events and activities around Cornwall. We seek to create inclusive environments where our staff, volunteers, clients, business club members, other agencie5 and sUPPOrters all come together to undertake activities from beach cleans and tree planting, to Coast Path Connectors, monthly walks. These help develop meaningful connection and engagement in our work Financial review (forming part of the strategic report) St Petrocs has a prudent approach to financial management. We are an independent charity. Whilst some residential housing costs are funded by Housing Benefit, all support activities are funded by charitable means, either through grants from charitable bodi government grants or through fundraising activities and donation& The current cost of living crisis continues to have an impact on our charity. Like so many other organisations and individual& we have seen a huge rise in our energy costs as well as general inflationary pressures. We have worked hard to mitigate these cost increases by ensuring our service delivery is the best it can be and by keeping our core costs to a minimum. The cost of living crisis not only affects our organisation; it impacts our staff, our volunteer5, our donors and, crucially, the number of clients that are currently seeking help. As households continue to struggle to maintain their siandard of living we anticipate that demand for our services will increase further still as people's ability to retain housing will come under increasing pressure. especially given the property market in Cornwall Still remains strong. Our reserves remain robust and we undertake regular updating of our financial forecasts which enables us to take corrective action rf necessary. Grant making policy The Charity does not make grants to other organisations. Reserves policy The Charity holds reserves in order to meet future operating commitments to protect the Charity against anyfluctuations or cessation of incomeflows and for itsfuture developments.

Going concern policy The trustees have assessed the Charity's abilityto continue as a going concern. This assessment has involved reviewing the Chariws financial position, future plans, budgets, cash flowforecasts, and potential risks and uncertainties that may impact the Charl5 operations. After careful consideration, the trustees are confident that the Charity has suffficient resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. The Charity has a robust financial strategy in place, which includes maintaining adequate reserves and implementing sound financial controls. Additionally, the trustees are satisfied that the Charitys activities and income streams are sustainable,and that appropriate measures are in placeto manage identified risks.Therefore,the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable ftjture and have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Plans for future periods Our plansforthefuture areto build on our recent past pefftlrmance. Whilstthere isa continuing need for the residential services we provide. we will continue to grow our supported accommodation capacityto meet the demand. Our growrh will be considered which will allow us to maintain stability in our staff team and ensure services are managed to the same high standards we set ourselves. We will continue to develop sustainable funding streams to support our important non- residential work meaning wewill beableto maintain ourfocus on person-centred support atour resource centres, via our outreach team and through our counselling and vocational developmentteams.

St Petrocs Independent auditors, report to the members of St Petrocs In preparing the financial statements, the trustee5 are resw)nsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using thegoing concern basis of accounting unlessthetrusteeseither intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditorfs resF)onsibilities for the audit of thefinancial 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 auditorfs reportthat includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI 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 userstaken on the basis of thesefinancial statemen 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 irregulariiies. including fraud. As part of our auditworK we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatoryframeworks applicableto the charity and the Sector in which theyoperate. We determined thatthe laws and regulations that were most significant were those that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. the Charities Act 2011, and compliance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice. In addition, we have considered provisions of other laws and regulation5 that do not have a direct effect on the Inancial statements but compliance with which may be fundamental to the Charit5 ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. These include data protection regulations, health and safety regulations, licensing acts and employment legislation. The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. Obtain an understanding of the legal and regulatoryframeworks applicable to the company and the sector in which it operate& We determined that the following laws and regulations were most significant.. the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Art 2011, Health and Safety egulations, Safeguarding and GDPR Review of the disclosures in the financial statements and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations described as having a direct effert on the financial statemen Enquirie5 of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims- Performing analytical prOdureS to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud: Reviewing minutes of meetings and correspondence with regulator5: Performing audit work in connection wtrh the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries for reasonableness. evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for potential bias. We also communicate relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. 18
St Petrocs Independent auditors, report to the members of St Petrocs Our audit approach also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charity for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud being in respect of cut off and completion risk around revenue recognition. Under ISA IUKI we are also required to undertake procedures to respond to the risk of management override of controls. Our procedure5 included the following- Undertaking transactional te5fing on revenue Performing completeness testing on the rental income Performing cut off testing on income Auditing the risk of management override of controls including through testing journal entries and other adjustmentsfor appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale for significanttran5actions Outsidethe normal course of business Fleviewing estimates and judgements made in the accounts for any indication of bias and challenged assumptions used by management in making estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audiL there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealmerit, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
