TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Board of Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity) are pleased to present their annual report and financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes and for the 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).
During the year the charity changed its name from United in Hammersmith and Fulham to H&F Giving Ltd.
Structure, Governance and Management
H&F Giving Ltd is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 February 2018. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. There are currently eight nominated Trustees; four appointed by Hammersmith United Charities; four appointed by Dr Edwards and Bishop Kings Fulham Charity.
Julian Hillman stood as Interim Chair until August 2021, when Joanna Kennedy was recruited for the role.
Trustees are elected to lead the charity effectively. In continued response to a 2020 audit to ensure a broad range of skills and representation of the diverse communities we serve we sought additional members, and Oluwafunmikunola Odeleye was welcomed onto the board in October 2021.
Furthermore, in December 2021 we began the process of setting up committees that include diverse members of the public, starting with a recruitment drive for a development committee.
The Trustees agreed a name change for the organisation in this financial year to Hammersmith and Fulham Giving. We began this name change process in Spring 2022 and will be making the change within the Articles of Association for the organisation before making this name change on the Companies House and Charity Commission record from H&F Giving Ltd.
Trustee recruitment and induction
New Trustees are selected through a recruitment process. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by current Trustees who vote on the final decision at board meetings and are subsequently appointed.
New Trustees receive one-to-one induction with the Executive Director covering the Memorandum and Articles of Association, current activities, and meetings with relevant key stakeholders. Trustees undergo ongoing training on relevant issues including NSPCC Safeguarding Training in line with UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham’s policy.
Trustees’ meetings are held quarterly. At each, the Trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity, including campaigns, programmes, policies, and performance.
Management and Team
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham has a small team of Executive Director Savraj Kaur, and part-time Community Grants Officer Christelle Bonda who left in June 2021, and who was replaced by Debbie Robinson who began in post as a Grants and Impact Officer in September 2021. Six resident community panellists stayed with us through the year, meeting ad hoc to distribute micro-grants.

H&F GIVING LTD Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
We are members of London Funders and a member of the London’s Giving group. The Executive Director takes part in knowledge sharing sessions with peers from across the capital, to ensure we are working effectively and contributing to best practice. She also completed the Data Champions Programme by 360Giving, which brings funders together to collaborate and learn how to grow a data culture in their organisations.
The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follows the Institute of Fundraisings code of fundraising practice . The Charity does not engage any external partners or fundraising agencies to carry out fundraising on its behalf, nor do we engage in fundraising activities that would place vulnerable people at risk. We have not received any complaints in respect to our fundraising practices.
Aims and Objectives
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham is the go-to organisation for funders and donors to understand and meet the needs of local people.
Hammersmith & Fulham is a densely populated, youthful, and cosmopolitan borough. Today, we are home to around 182,000 people – including the second-highest proportion of single adults in any borough in England and Wales and one of London’s highest proportion of people in their 20s.
We are rich in natural and cultural assets. We host three professional football clubs, two theatres and four international rowing races. We are highly diverse, demographically, socially, and economically – major cultural organisations represent diaspora communities from large French, Polish, Somali, Portuguese, and Irish communities as well as Black Caribbean and African, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Chinese residents. We are home to mosques and churches for specific national communities.
We host the UK headquarters of several major national and international companies, including L’Oreal and Walt Disney, as well as a thriving local street market and Westfield shopping centre. Significant development is bringing new corporate headquarters to White City and Old Oak, especially from the media sector. Imperial College is also developing a major new campus here.
We are not equal. The 2015 official Index of Deprivation shows that Hammersmith & Fulham is 37th (out of 326) most deprived district in terms of child poverty, and the 17th most income deprived in terms of older people.
We have the busiest foodbank in London. But we are also home to several private schools including the country’s top girls’ school. We have a thriving voluntary and community sector including over five hundred grassroots groups serving specific geographic and ethnic communities. There is a CVS and volunteer centre and one of the highest rates of volunteering in London. We have a strong tradition of place-based action focused on a network of community centres.
Our work is focused on working towards the vision of a connected borough, where all kinds of people and every generation has what they need to thrive. We do this by mobilising funds from individuals, trusts & foundations, and businesses to reach the programmes, services and community groups that enrich the lives of the people of Hammersmith & Fulham..
Public benefit
The Directors believe that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Achievements
This year, we have built on our reputation as a place-based giving scheme in the borough and have gone from strength to strength in making a real difference to our community.
We are proud to have positively served according to our Articles of Association, for the relief of need - including but not restricted to poverty, lack of opportunity, ill health or disability, lack of education or skills, loneliness and isolation, homelessness - through the following projects, summarised in turn.
-
Our Tech4Kids £159,000 appeal with H&F Council and local enterprise Ready Tech Go was launched to provide devices and data to 1,500 local children in poverty, so they can catch up with missed learning and gain vital digital skills for life. We continue to call on people and businesses to help us to fill the gaps and make none of these local children have to go without any longer, whether inside or outside of the pandemic
-
At Christmas, we raised a record £19,885 through our annual Warmer Together: The Big H&F Christmas Lunch appeal in partnership with H&F Council ensure 500 older people received a delicious, warm Christmas lunch in their homes due to isolation or loss of loved ones. Meals were cooked in Smile Brigade’s Fulham-based kitchen hall, and delivery was undertaken in conjunction with local zero emission delivery company e-cargobikes
-
We entered the new financial year administering a £32,000 Spring Wellness Fund sourced from government aid. The focus (80%) of this fund was supporting families with children with essentials, including food and utility bills, with the remainder for local groups to support households without children. Ten local projects that benefitted, including The Kulan Foundation (£6,000) who directed this to ethnic minority residents in Shepherds Bush, and Let's Unite for Autism (£4,852) who support autism affected families on low incomes with food and utility bills
-
A further £60,000, also sourced from government aid made up our Summer Essentials Fund . Again, the main focus (80%) of this fund was supporting families with children with essentials, including food and utility bills, with the remainder for local groups to support households without children. 16 local projects that benefitted, including White City Interfaith Partnership (£8,000) which saw leaders of the Church of England, Roman Catholic Church & Islamic communities help those in need in their local area, and the Community Education Forum (£7,000) which helped young people and families from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in Hammersmith and Fulham
-
In December 2021, we administered £200,000 from government aid with a focus on essentials and utility bills, which saw 26 local projects benefit.
Case Study 1. White City Interfaith Partnership received £15K
This organisation supported 85 families with essential items including food, cleaning and personal hygiene items who regularly visited their weekly Foodshare between January and March 2022. They allocated money to low-income households in poverty during the winter months. for additional measures to provide warmth and essentials including clothing and floor coverings. They provided 12 bursaries for kitchen White Goods replacements and 96 Fuel poverty bursaries each worth £25.
Revd Humphries said they were, “able to use £350 from the warmer winter essentials funding to help a single mother with a floor covering to make her flat warmer. Instead of getting out of bed and stepping onto a concrete floor she now has a warm carpet to walk on. Having lived in a

women's refuge and surviving domestic violence she now feels that her life (and that of her daughter) has been transformed and her flat is much more homely.”
545 people benefitted from this project in total.
Case Study 2. Minaret Community Centre received 12k for their Minaret Household Support project.
Their new Minaret Household Support project provided culturally appropriate food, gas/electricity top-up, and other essentials as COVID-19 response services to 190 households, with the majority from East/North African backgrounds. The project addressed the key themes of Isolation & Loneliness, Provision of Essentials, Community Cohesion, Volunteering, Relief of Poverty within the following postcode areas: SW6, W6, W11, W12, W14.
My name is Ms NY, I am a single parent with four children including a 15-year-old Autistic child. Minaret Centre has been there for me to understand and support me with my multiple issues including housing, benefits, SEN education etc. Early this year my benefit stopped for a reason not clear to me and I came to Minaret for support, I was really tested as I had no money and food for my children, the staff informed me about Minaret Household Support. Words cannot express the relieve I felt, this means my children will have the food they like till the issues with my Universal Credit account is sorted. I genuinely thank Minaret and H&F Giving for this life saving support.
Director Said Mohamud said, “On behalf of our service users, we are grateful for the essential service H&F Giving is offering to our community, your service is unique and I can confirm that it is the most appreciated service we offer to the community as it goes to the heart of their needs".
600 people benefitted from this project in total.
- A further £20,000 for individuals and households impacted by period poverty was also granted out by our Community Grants Panel. Seven benefitting projects including
Case Study 1. For the People from The People Received 5k
Manager, Alvina Appleton said, “ Our project is called "The Bloody Happy Project". We have helped make period products accessible and available to women and girls across the borough. We believe period products are a need not a want and should be treated as such. We realise that many girls and women within our borough suffer from period poverty. To help alleviate period poverty, we now have a total 10 sanitary stations in all libraries and all urban partnership group community centres in Hammersmith and Fulham as well as providing other places within the community stocked with free sanitary products. We have two more sanitary stations that are filled with products that will also go out within the borough meaning we have provided double than our intended amount of cabinets with this funding.
Five hundred people benefited from this funding.
Case Study 2. Bloody Good Period received 10k
Message from the Organisation,
7
H&F GIVING LTD Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
“Bloody Good Period believes no one should have to compromise their menstrual health or participation in society because of their income or citizenship status. We have provided free menstrual health supplies to people in financial hardship and offered refugee and asylum seeker groups access to 6 education sessions on menstrual health and care delivered by medical professionals. Modules were tailored to participants needs, but all included a session on period products. Modules included period tracking, contraception, period products, breast screening and cervical screening. We provided a regular supply of free period products supporting people who have limited financial resources to care for their periods. Through the Period poverty grant we worked with 3 partner organisations including the Happy Baby community, ICRM and the Women's Association for Networking and Development (WAND) UK. Working with partners to deliver 1,621 packs of menstrual health products and 1 education programme to the Hammersmith and Fulham community.”
Total number of beneficiaries: over 1,000
-
Our Community Grants Panel also gave out £16,847 through a Covid Recover Fund , made up of final monies from a Covid-19 appeal. This was distributed as microgrants to 21 groups, including for the Sands End Associated Projects In Action (£1,000) to continue providing food packages to young people and their families still affected by covid, and for St. Albans Fulham (£1,000) to provide mentoring services to young people in the area.
-
Through the year we also continued providing administrative and advisory support for Small Tap Big Change , Hammersmith BID’s homelessness initiative. This included local homeless focused charities the Baron’s Court Project, St Andrew’s Fulham Fields, The Upper Room, and Glass Door
-
We entered our second of a two-year partnership of Pedal Gives Back with Fulham-based independent bike shop Pedal Back Cycles, an ambitious project to ensure 100 abandoned bikes from Southwest Railway stations are professionally restored and matched with locals who are unable to afford a bike. This continues to reach a cross section of the community including refugees, single mothers and homeless people.
Outside of these set campaigns and activities we also ran a volunteer week initiative with local publishing company Immediate Media, who offered a staff volunteer match programme, opening skilled local workers to give two days’ advice to local charities who are resource tight. A result of this was a community cookbook, The Sharing Table, a collection of low-cost simple recipes from a range of local people. It was printed pro bono by Geoff Neal Group on paper donated by paper merchants Denmaur for distribution to low-income households across the borough.
Grant Making Policy
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham does not make grants to individuals, but to other charities, social enterprises, tenants and residents associations, and other constituted community groups with charitable purposes.
Published grant-making criteria set out the activities eligible on a fund-by-fund basis, all in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable objectives. Criteria also include activities which the Trustees do not wish to support.
Nominated panellists always include a representative from the Board of Trustees with the exception of the resident-led Community Grants Panel. These groups may too, occasionally, make grants outside published criteria but that in all such cases the activity supported will be charitable in law.

Financial Review
Results for the year ended 31 March 2022 are given in the Statement of Financial Activities. The assets and liabilities are given in the Balance Sheet. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the related notes. The Trustees regard the financial position of the charity at 31 March 2022 to be satisfactory. The charity was administered by Hammersmith United Charities.
In summary, the total income for the year was £476,492 ( 2021: £386,609) and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £478,983 (2021: £342,114). The main source of income for the Charity was council funding, trust and foundations, and individual donations.
A significant increase compared to last year was achieved due to successful crowdfunding, and a new partnership with the local council to grant funds incoming from central government departments.
At 31 March 2022, the charity’s net current assets amounted to £76,218 (2021: £78,709) as shown in the Balance Sheet. Full details of income and expenditure are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Reserves
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham will aim to hold sufficient reserves to meet its legal obligations including completing grant commitments. The Charity is currently dependent on grant income to maintain its core activities.
The Trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months running costs, this equates to approximately £23,107.
The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to cover support and governance costs. Unrestricted free reserves at the end of this period were £49,444.
Restricted reserves total £26,774 and relate to funds raised to distribute to the community, these will be distributed after the year end in accordance with our planned activity.
Going Concern
At the December Board meeting the Trustees reviewed current reserves, forecast future income and forthcoming commitments for the 12 months to December 2023, especially given a majority core cost City Bridge Trust funding for the following four years. As a result, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
Plans
The future for all of us dominated by ongoing crises in the world, including ongoing effects of the coronavirus crisis, the war in Ukraine, and the cost-of-living crisis, which hugely affect local people. Nonetheless, we will govern with to galvanise local people, businesses, and organisations to encourage them to give their time, energy, and money to support people Hammersmith & Fulham.
With improved systems in place, we will be more data informed and examine how we can expand and best partner for change. This will be echoed by a new Theory of Change and pitch for how others can get involved.
All of this is important as we those in need in our community continue to need us, and we remain committed to our work.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Board of Trustees (who are also the directors of the charity) are pleased to present their annual report and financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes and for the 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).
During the year the charity changed its name from United in Hammersmith and Fulham to H&F Giving Ltd.
Structure, Governance and Management
H&F Giving Ltd is a company limited by guarantee governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 23 February 2018. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. There are currently eight nominated Trustees; four appointed by Hammersmith United Charities; four appointed by Dr Edwards and Bishop Kings Fulham Charity.
Julian Hillman stood as Interim Chair until August 2021, when Joanna Kennedy was recruited for the role.
Trustees are elected to lead the charity effectively. In continued response to a 2020 audit to ensure a broad range of skills and representation of the diverse communities we serve we sought additional members, and Oluwafunmikunola Odeleye was welcomed onto the board in October 2021.
Furthermore, in December 2021 we began the process of setting up committees that include diverse members of the public, starting with a recruitment drive for a development committee.
The Trustees agreed a name change for the organisation in this financial year to Hammersmith and Fulham Giving. We began this name change process in Spring 2022 and will be making the change within the Articles of Association for the organisation before making this name change on the Companies House and Charity Commission record from H&F Giving Ltd.
Trustee recruitment and induction
New Trustees are selected through a recruitment process. Shortlisted candidates are interviewed by current Trustees who vote on the final decision at board meetings and are subsequently appointed.
New Trustees receive one-to-one induction with the Executive Director covering the Memorandum and Articles of Association, current activities, and meetings with relevant key stakeholders. Trustees undergo ongoing training on relevant issues including NSPCC Safeguarding Training in line with UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham’s policy.
Trustees’ meetings are held quarterly. At each, the Trustees agree the broad strategy and areas of activity, including campaigns, programmes, policies, and performance.
Management and Team
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham has a small team of Executive Director Savraj Kaur, and part-time Community Grants Officer Christelle Bonda who left in June 2021, and who was replaced by Debbie Robinson who began in post as a Grants and Impact Officer in September 2021. Six resident community panellists stayed with us through the year, meeting ad hoc to distribute micro-grants.

H&F GIVING LTD Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
We are members of London Funders and a member of the London’s Giving group. The Executive Director takes part in knowledge sharing sessions with peers from across the capital, to ensure we are working effectively and contributing to best practice. She also completed the Data Champions Programme by 360Giving, which brings funders together to collaborate and learn how to grow a data culture in their organisations.
The Charity is registered with the Fundraising Regulator and follows the Institute of Fundraisings code of fundraising practice . The Charity does not engage any external partners or fundraising agencies to carry out fundraising on its behalf, nor do we engage in fundraising activities that would place vulnerable people at risk. We have not received any complaints in respect to our fundraising practices.
Aims and Objectives
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham is the go-to organisation for funders and donors to understand and meet the needs of local people.
Hammersmith & Fulham is a densely populated, youthful, and cosmopolitan borough. Today, we are home to around 182,000 people – including the second-highest proportion of single adults in any borough in England and Wales and one of London’s highest proportion of people in their 20s.
We are rich in natural and cultural assets. We host three professional football clubs, two theatres and four international rowing races. We are highly diverse, demographically, socially, and economically – major cultural organisations represent diaspora communities from large French, Polish, Somali, Portuguese, and Irish communities as well as Black Caribbean and African, Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Chinese residents. We are home to mosques and churches for specific national communities.
We host the UK headquarters of several major national and international companies, including L’Oreal and Walt Disney, as well as a thriving local street market and Westfield shopping centre. Significant development is bringing new corporate headquarters to White City and Old Oak, especially from the media sector. Imperial College is also developing a major new campus here.
We are not equal. The 2015 official Index of Deprivation shows that Hammersmith & Fulham is 37th (out of 326) most deprived district in terms of child poverty, and the 17th most income deprived in terms of older people.
We have the busiest foodbank in London. But we are also home to several private schools including the country’s top girls’ school. We have a thriving voluntary and community sector including over five hundred grassroots groups serving specific geographic and ethnic communities. There is a CVS and volunteer centre and one of the highest rates of volunteering in London. We have a strong tradition of place-based action focused on a network of community centres.
Our work is focused on working towards the vision of a connected borough, where all kinds of people and every generation has what they need to thrive. We do this by mobilising funds from individuals, trusts & foundations, and businesses to reach the programmes, services and community groups that enrich the lives of the people of Hammersmith & Fulham..
Public benefit
The Directors believe that they have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.

Achievements
This year, we have built on our reputation as a place-based giving scheme in the borough and have gone from strength to strength in making a real difference to our community.
We are proud to have positively served according to our Articles of Association, for the relief of need - including but not restricted to poverty, lack of opportunity, ill health or disability, lack of education or skills, loneliness and isolation, homelessness - through the following projects, summarised in turn.
-
Our Tech4Kids £159,000 appeal with H&F Council and local enterprise Ready Tech Go was launched to provide devices and data to 1,500 local children in poverty, so they can catch up with missed learning and gain vital digital skills for life. We continue to call on people and businesses to help us to fill the gaps and make none of these local children have to go without any longer, whether inside or outside of the pandemic
-
At Christmas, we raised a record £19,885 through our annual Warmer Together: The Big H&F Christmas Lunch appeal in partnership with H&F Council ensure 500 older people received a delicious, warm Christmas lunch in their homes due to isolation or loss of loved ones. Meals were cooked in Smile Brigade’s Fulham-based kitchen hall, and delivery was undertaken in conjunction with local zero emission delivery company e-cargobikes
-
We entered the new financial year administering a £32,000 Spring Wellness Fund sourced from government aid. The focus (80%) of this fund was supporting families with children with essentials, including food and utility bills, with the remainder for local groups to support households without children. Ten local projects that benefitted, including The Kulan Foundation (£6,000) who directed this to ethnic minority residents in Shepherds Bush, and Let's Unite for Autism (£4,852) who support autism affected families on low incomes with food and utility bills
-
A further £60,000, also sourced from government aid made up our Summer Essentials Fund . Again, the main focus (80%) of this fund was supporting families with children with essentials, including food and utility bills, with the remainder for local groups to support households without children. 16 local projects that benefitted, including White City Interfaith Partnership (£8,000) which saw leaders of the Church of England, Roman Catholic Church & Islamic communities help those in need in their local area, and the Community Education Forum (£7,000) which helped young people and families from the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities in Hammersmith and Fulham
-
In December 2021, we administered £200,000 from government aid with a focus on essentials and utility bills, which saw 26 local projects benefit.
Case Study 1. White City Interfaith Partnership received £15K
This organisation supported 85 families with essential items including food, cleaning and personal hygiene items who regularly visited their weekly Foodshare between January and March 2022. They allocated money to low-income households in poverty during the winter months. for additional measures to provide warmth and essentials including clothing and floor coverings. They provided 12 bursaries for kitchen White Goods replacements and 96 Fuel poverty bursaries each worth £25.
Revd Humphries said they were, “able to use £350 from the warmer winter essentials funding to help a single mother with a floor covering to make her flat warmer. Instead of getting out of bed and stepping onto a concrete floor she now has a warm carpet to walk on. Having lived in a

women's refuge and surviving domestic violence she now feels that her life (and that of her daughter) has been transformed and her flat is much more homely.”
545 people benefitted from this project in total.
Case Study 2. Minaret Community Centre received 12k for their Minaret Household Support project.
Their new Minaret Household Support project provided culturally appropriate food, gas/electricity top-up, and other essentials as COVID-19 response services to 190 households, with the majority from East/North African backgrounds. The project addressed the key themes of Isolation & Loneliness, Provision of Essentials, Community Cohesion, Volunteering, Relief of Poverty within the following postcode areas: SW6, W6, W11, W12, W14.
My name is Ms NY, I am a single parent with four children including a 15-year-old Autistic child. Minaret Centre has been there for me to understand and support me with my multiple issues including housing, benefits, SEN education etc. Early this year my benefit stopped for a reason not clear to me and I came to Minaret for support, I was really tested as I had no money and food for my children, the staff informed me about Minaret Household Support. Words cannot express the relieve I felt, this means my children will have the food they like till the issues with my Universal Credit account is sorted. I genuinely thank Minaret and H&F Giving for this life saving support.
Director Said Mohamud said, “On behalf of our service users, we are grateful for the essential service H&F Giving is offering to our community, your service is unique and I can confirm that it is the most appreciated service we offer to the community as it goes to the heart of their needs".
600 people benefitted from this project in total.
- A further £20,000 for individuals and households impacted by period poverty was also granted out by our Community Grants Panel. Seven benefitting projects including
Case Study 1. For the People from The People Received 5k
Manager, Alvina Appleton said, “ Our project is called "The Bloody Happy Project". We have helped make period products accessible and available to women and girls across the borough. We believe period products are a need not a want and should be treated as such. We realise that many girls and women within our borough suffer from period poverty. To help alleviate period poverty, we now have a total 10 sanitary stations in all libraries and all urban partnership group community centres in Hammersmith and Fulham as well as providing other places within the community stocked with free sanitary products. We have two more sanitary stations that are filled with products that will also go out within the borough meaning we have provided double than our intended amount of cabinets with this funding.
Five hundred people benefited from this funding.
Case Study 2. Bloody Good Period received 10k
Message from the Organisation,
7
H&F GIVING LTD Trustees Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
“Bloody Good Period believes no one should have to compromise their menstrual health or participation in society because of their income or citizenship status. We have provided free menstrual health supplies to people in financial hardship and offered refugee and asylum seeker groups access to 6 education sessions on menstrual health and care delivered by medical professionals. Modules were tailored to participants needs, but all included a session on period products. Modules included period tracking, contraception, period products, breast screening and cervical screening. We provided a regular supply of free period products supporting people who have limited financial resources to care for their periods. Through the Period poverty grant we worked with 3 partner organisations including the Happy Baby community, ICRM and the Women's Association for Networking and Development (WAND) UK. Working with partners to deliver 1,621 packs of menstrual health products and 1 education programme to the Hammersmith and Fulham community.”
Total number of beneficiaries: over 1,000
-
Our Community Grants Panel also gave out £16,847 through a Covid Recover Fund , made up of final monies from a Covid-19 appeal. This was distributed as microgrants to 21 groups, including for the Sands End Associated Projects In Action (£1,000) to continue providing food packages to young people and their families still affected by covid, and for St. Albans Fulham (£1,000) to provide mentoring services to young people in the area.
-
Through the year we also continued providing administrative and advisory support for Small Tap Big Change , Hammersmith BID’s homelessness initiative. This included local homeless focused charities the Baron’s Court Project, St Andrew’s Fulham Fields, The Upper Room, and Glass Door
-
We entered our second of a two-year partnership of Pedal Gives Back with Fulham-based independent bike shop Pedal Back Cycles, an ambitious project to ensure 100 abandoned bikes from Southwest Railway stations are professionally restored and matched with locals who are unable to afford a bike. This continues to reach a cross section of the community including refugees, single mothers and homeless people.
Outside of these set campaigns and activities we also ran a volunteer week initiative with local publishing company Immediate Media, who offered a staff volunteer match programme, opening skilled local workers to give two days’ advice to local charities who are resource tight. A result of this was a community cookbook, The Sharing Table, a collection of low-cost simple recipes from a range of local people. It was printed pro bono by Geoff Neal Group on paper donated by paper merchants Denmaur for distribution to low-income households across the borough.
Grant Making Policy
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham does not make grants to individuals, but to other charities, social enterprises, tenants and residents associations, and other constituted community groups with charitable purposes.
Published grant-making criteria set out the activities eligible on a fund-by-fund basis, all in furtherance of the Foundation’s charitable objectives. Criteria also include activities which the Trustees do not wish to support.
Nominated panellists always include a representative from the Board of Trustees with the exception of the resident-led Community Grants Panel. These groups may too, occasionally, make grants outside published criteria but that in all such cases the activity supported will be charitable in law.

Financial Review
Results for the year ended 31 March 2022 are given in the Statement of Financial Activities. The assets and liabilities are given in the Balance Sheet. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the related notes. The Trustees regard the financial position of the charity at 31 March 2022 to be satisfactory. The charity was administered by Hammersmith United Charities.
In summary, the total income for the year was £476,492 ( 2021: £386,609) and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £478,983 (2021: £342,114). The main source of income for the Charity was council funding, trust and foundations, and individual donations.
A significant increase compared to last year was achieved due to successful crowdfunding, and a new partnership with the local council to grant funds incoming from central government departments.
At 31 March 2022, the charity’s net current assets amounted to £76,218 (2021: £78,709) as shown in the Balance Sheet. Full details of income and expenditure are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Reserves
UNITED in Hammersmith & Fulham will aim to hold sufficient reserves to meet its legal obligations including completing grant commitments. The Charity is currently dependent on grant income to maintain its core activities.
The Trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves equivalent to three months running costs, this equates to approximately £23,107.
The Trustees consider that this level will provide sufficient funds to cover support and governance costs. Unrestricted free reserves at the end of this period were £49,444.
Restricted reserves total £26,774 and relate to funds raised to distribute to the community, these will be distributed after the year end in accordance with our planned activity.
Going Concern
At the December Board meeting the Trustees reviewed current reserves, forecast future income and forthcoming commitments for the 12 months to December 2023, especially given a majority core cost City Bridge Trust funding for the following four years. As a result, the Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.
Plans
The future for all of us dominated by ongoing crises in the world, including ongoing effects of the coronavirus crisis, the war in Ukraine, and the cost-of-living crisis, which hugely affect local people. Nonetheless, we will govern with to galvanise local people, businesses, and organisations to encourage them to give their time, energy, and money to support people Hammersmith & Fulham.
With improved systems in place, we will be more data informed and examine how we can expand and best partner for change. This will be echoed by a new Theory of Change and pitch for how others can get involved.
All of this is important as we those in need in our community continue to need us, and we remain committed to our work.

Director’s Responsibilities
The directors are also Trustees of H&F Giving Ltd for the purposes of charity law and are responsible for preparing the Directors’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s Trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity’s Trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
