Trustee Report - 5[th] March 2020 to 31[st] August 2021

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the governing document, and the 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) issued in October 2019

Report from the Leadership Team

As an organisation we exist to see asylum seekers and refugees set free from the isolation that comes from not being able to speak the language of the culture they are in. We believe that there is a future and a hope for them and that language plays a key role in providing opportunities and helping them to integrate into life in the UK.

Hope English School was first set up in 2016 as a CIC. On the 5[th] of March we registered as a charity (Hope ESOL CIO) only to enter a nation-wide lock-down in response to the Covid-19 Pandemic on the 18[th] of March.

The 18 months that followed were challenging but productive as we worked to transfer all operations over from the CIC to the CIO whilst continuing to meet the changing needs of our clients and students. Whilst the leadership team worked behind the scenes to lay good operational foundations, the Hope English School Class Co-ordinator, Teachers and Volunteers continued to provide front-line support to our students.

The lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 compounded the isolation already experienced by our students. All face-to-face classes were cancelled and although our teachers took to teaching online, most of our students lacked the technology or technical know-how to engage with online classes.

Necessity proved to be the mother of invention – in response we developed paper resource packs which we sent not only to our students but shared with other service providers in the city and developed a digital skills course specifically designed for speakers of other languages which we launched as soon as face to face teaching could resume.

We are proud of the way we were able to respond and adapt as a team and incredibly thankful to all those who supported us during this period.

Hope ESOL CIO

Hope ESOL CIO is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission on 5th March 2020, registration number 1188370. The organisation is governed by its constitution.

Charitable Objectives and Activities

The charities object as defined in its constitution is:

‘To advance the education and training of those granted refugee status, those seeking asylum, and other vulnerable migrants in South Yorkshire and its surrounding counties in need thereof so as to advance them in life and assist them to adapt within a new community.’

Our strategic priority is to ensure that all asylum seekers, refugees and vulnerable minorities in the Sheffield City Region (and surrounding towns and cities) have access to the ESOL and skills training they need.

Historically we have done this by providing affordable ESOL services to organisations who already work with asylum seekers & refugees – providing on premise teaching to their service users. Since becoming a charity we have also started to provide Digital Skills training and received grant funding to enable us to put on our own fully subsidised classes.

The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011.

Structure

Hope English School was initially set up as a Community Interest Company (Hope English School CIC) in 2016 and was able to operate largely as a result of the time and energy freely invested by the founding directors and volunteers. It was set up in this way largely due to the ease and speed at which it could begin operating.

Hope ESOL CIO was set up on the 5[th] of March 2020 to better reflect the charitable objects of the organisation and enable a more diverse and sustainable income strategy moving forward.

During the 18-month period covered in these accounts the CIO and the CIC ran in tandem under the same operating name ‘Hope English School’.

Although running the CIO and CIC in tandem was initially deemed the least disruptive and most flexible operating structure, it proved to be complex and cumbersome. As such, it was later decided by the Directors of the CIC and the board of Trustees at the CIO that the CIC would be put into a dormant state and all assets and operations would be passed from the CIC to the CIO from 31[st] August 2021 onwards. This can be seen in the donations made from the CIC to the CIO totalling (£12,339).

Governance

During this period a board of appointed trustees ran the charity (CIO), delegating most day-to-day operations to the employed management team already in place at Hope English School CIC..

Founding trustees:

Katherine Sturdey (15[th] July 2020) Philip Howden (15[th] July 2020) Paul Horton (15[th] July 2020)

Additional trustees during this period

Hannah Peck (27[th] May 2021)

The Board of Trustees seek to appoint members who have a wide range of appropriate skills and knowledge of the sector that will allow them to govern and grow the charity successfully. The Charity's governing document permits a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 12 Trustees.

The Trustees conduct a skills review to identify potential gaps in the Board that can then be suitably recruited for. The appointed individuals must fit within the requirements in the constitution, support the values of the organisation and be able to make the necessary time commitments. The trustees hope to grow the board further to include individuals with teacher training experience and lived experience of being an asylum seeker/refugee in the UK.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no remuneration for their role as a Trustee.

During this period Katherine Sturdey was also a Director at Hope English School CIC and was therefore identified as an individual with dual interests. This is recorded in the charity’s Conflict of Interest register. To ensure that the two boards remained independent the number of Trustees without dual interests was always greater than the number of Trustees with dual interests e.g. 2:1 3:2 4:3. And Trustees with dual interests were excluded from decisions which involved a conflict of interest.

Management

Hope English School was led on a day-day basis during this period by Anna Bollinger (CEO) and Katherine Sturdey (COO). Both Anna and Katherine were Directors and employees of the already operating community interest company - Hope English School CIC.

No staff were employed directly by the CIO – but services were procured from Hope English School CIC in order to meet the charities objects.

Financial Review

Principle sources of funds between March 2020 and 31[st] of August 2021.

During this period Hope ESOL CIO raised income of £31,031 from all activities and incurred expenditure of £7,092. This resulted in a combined net income of £23,939 comprising unrestricted net income before transfers of £14,437 and restricted net income before transfers of £9,502. Year-end total reserves were £23,939 comprising general funds £14,437, restricted funds £9,502.

Income (£31,031) came from:

Restricted Funds (£16,040)
Grants Won - £16,040
Unrestricted Funds (£14,991)
£1,440 = One-off donations from individuals
£968 = Regular donors
£12,339 = One-off donation from Hope English School CIC
o £244 = Gift Aid

Expenditure (£7,092) went towards:

Producing and sending paper resource packs to students (£770)
Developing and delivering the Digital Skills Pilot Courses (£6,307.65)
• Software for online classes (£14.39)

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have determined to maintain a level of free reserves (general funds excluding tangible fixed assets) equal to 3 months (1 term) budgeted unrestricted expenditure.

The reserves target at 31 August 2021 was £10,055. The policy aims to ensure there is a buffer to accommodate fluctuations in income, and if necessary, enable management to reduce expenditure whilst fundraising/marketing activities are undertaken to increase income. Free reserves at the 31 August 2021 were £14,437 or 5-months reserve cover based on the forecast unrestricted expenditure for 21/22. This represents reserve cover of 2 months more than the 3-month policy.

• the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
