## Section D                      Achievements and performance 

**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year** 

The year began with Swindon Night Shelter facing financial challenges, starting below the reserves policy due to high staff costs and the tapering off of grants. The charity struggled to find a commercial manager to optimize the sales strategy of the shop and general funding sales across Swindon. 

This meant difficult decisions were made around staffing levels and ongoing costs. But with some doors closed, the Lord opened others, and we saw a significant change to how Swindon Night Shelter provides support, through the extension of services to providing temporary accommodation to those who are homeless or vulnerable. 

The activity of the charity therefore remained focused on the Haven Day Centre rather than restarting the provision of the weekly night shelter service. This has meant providing support to guests, a meal for guests at lunchtime, as well as acting as a platform for local support services to take place. 

In everything, we give thanks and glory to our gracious, merciful, and amazing God for the dedicated staff and volunteers who have worked tirelessly to support our guests throughout this past year. 

## _**The Haven**_ 

As in previous years, at our Day Centre we have continued to partner with the Local Council and work alongside other agencies in Swindon who provide specialist support for those in need encouraging them to use the Day Centre when opportunities arise. It has been fantastic to see development already with many multi-agency meetings and sessions taking place here at the Haven all with the aim to try and support those in need. 

The Guest House opened on March 23[rd] , providing 7 rooms on a full-time basis.

Section D                      Achievements and performance 

We are increasingly becoming a hub for those who are rough sleeping to come and gain help. The Rough Sleeper Navigators, Rough Sleeper Housing Officer and the Rough Sleeper outreach team from Swindon Borough Council all come on a regular basis as well as Change, Grow, Live (CGL) who support those with drug and alcohol addictions, Swindon & Gloucester Mind supporting guests mental health and well-being,  NHS Hep C and sexual clinics, Forgotten Feet helping keep guest’s feet healthy and Vison Care for homeless people, who came providing free eye sight tests and prescription glasses. 

This year we have seen over 985 different guests visit the Haven totalling 5434 visits.  The number of guests/visits is up 30% on last year.  It has been a real privilege to get to know the new guests and help them with their individual needs. We have also been able to build on the links with existing guests who are struggling within the homelessness cycle. As always sometimes our guests just need time to be listened to. 

## _**Night shelter**_ 

Since 2008 we have operated a walk-up night shelter on a Friday night. However, with the reduction in the number of street homeless in Swindon because of steps taken by the Borough Council and COVID restrictions, this part of the ministry was closed in March 2020 and remains closed, with no future plans to restart this service. 

## _**The Winter Housing Project (TWHP)**_ 

This year the TWHP service did not take place, as the winter months acted as a transition period towards opening the guest rooms on a permanent basis, as part of the provision of full-time temporary accommodation. 

## _**The Hub Shop**_ 

Due to declining sales volumes, and a lack of grants to support the ongoing running of the shop, the decision was taken by the Trustees to close the shop in January 2023. Donated stock continues to be sold to the community at a discount, supporting those who need it, but through tabletop sales held at churches and community centres. 

## _**Community Food Share**_ 

This year we transformed our two foodshares into Affordable Food Clubs (Penhill Pantry and Parks Pantry) as well as offering one at the Haven Day centre. Each household pays a nominal fee for a six-month membership. Fresh, chilled and frozen food is available to share each week and kitchen cupboard items can be bought, using a points system for a fraction of what the supermarket charges. Any funds raised, together with local grants, allow us to re-invest in a consistent supply of food. 

We continue to collect surplus food from local supermarkets across Swindon which we use to provide breakfast and lunch for approx. 30 – 40 people a day at the Haven Day Centre, as well as week-end supplies for our residents, and our three Affordable Food Clubs. 

We continue to pray that God will support our mission at the shelter, and that He will bring us a growing Trustee team, with different areas of expertise, so that we are better equipped to support the homeless and vulnerable in and around and Swindon.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

The Reserves policy for the Charity has been established to ensure that **Brief statement of the** there are sufficient liquid assets in the Charity to fund at least three **charity’s policy on reserves** months of average operating costs. The charity's reserves policy remained unchanged, aiming to ensure sufficient liquid assets to fund at least three months of average operating costs. The year started with Swindon Night Shelter below this policy due to high staff costs and the ending of several grants. However, by the end of the year, the charity's financial position significantly improved (at year ending 31st August 2023, the unrestricted reserves were £92.9k and the reserves level required according to this policy was £69.0k). This was largely due to the DLUHC transformation fund and the new financially sustainable model of providing temporary accommodation in partnership with Swindon Borough Council. **Details of any funds materially** None **in deficit Further financial review details (Optional information)** We would like to express our sincere appreciation to: You **may choose** to include additional information, where Aldi, Homeless Link, Swindon Borough Council, Amazon, Christmas relevant about: Cares, Nationwide Charities Trust, Wiltshire Community Foundation and  the charity’s principal DLUHC for all of their support and donations this year. sources of funds (including any fundraising); Thank you.  how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity;  investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. **Section F                     Other optional information Section G                    Declaration**
