## **THE ONE LOVE PROJECT** 

(Charitable Incorporated Organisation) 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST MAY 2022** 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The One Love Project is a charity whose purpose is the relief of poverty and the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, illhealth, disability and financial hardship, in particular but not exclusively amongst homeless people as well as individuals and families facing food and fuel poverty in Southend On Sea and surrounding areas by the provision of advice, assistance and sign posting services, food, clothing and a safe space. 

The One Love Project provides services in the heart of Southend and surrounding areas, offering critical support to an extraordinary number of homeless and vulnerable people as well as those facing poverty within our local community. 

The One Love Project provide a soup kitchen twice a week which is a provision for homeless, lonely and vulnerable, whereby we provide a nutritious meal, hot showering facilities, clothing and toiletries. 

As it currently stands, we are supporting in region of 250 guests a week through our soup kitchen. 

We also provide a food bank once a week which is a provision for individuals and families whereby we provide lots of free fresh produce, cupboard fillers, toiletries and cleaning products. 

Every week at the food bank we have a Pop Up Kitchen running, which provides home cooked hearty meals for the whole family for a small donation and children eat for free. 

As it currently stands, we are supporting in the region of 280 families a month through our food bank. 

We have also supported a similar start up initiative, partnering up with a local church to offer additional support and a food provision within a deprived area of Shoebury. This was requested by Southend City Council who initiated the partnership between The One Love Project and Friars Baptist Church, who have now solely taken this project on as The Shoebury Ark to continue to support the local community in and around Shoebury. 

The One Love Project’s Outreach involves heading out into Southend to engage with those experiencing homelessness who may be new to the streets, disconnected or alienated from mainstream services and support. On board our outreach van, we have essential items to offer those we come across such as sleeping bags, blankets, warm clothes, hot food and drink. 

This initiative is supported by experienced and trained volunteers as well as local services. 

Our approach is welcoming and friendly, offering a safe, non-judgemental space which is well supported by professional services, well experienced volunteers and local services, enables The One Love Project to create a wraparound service. 

Throughout 2021/2022 we have been working in partnership with Southend City Council and the Rough Sleeper Initiative, alongside other commissioned and voluntary services support those facing homelessness, by attending weekly meetings as a partnership, discussing individual cases and supporting pathways out of homelessness. 

With the support of the RSI, we was able to run a mental health clinic every Monday morning, to support and address mental health needs to those rough sleeping with referrals being made for those using our services. 

One Love also worked with a BACP accredited addiction counsellor, offering weekly counselling sessions to guests who are in active addiction wanting to start their journey of recovery. Our aim is help develop healthy habits and new mind sets for a better future. 

The period covered by this report has been impacted by the Covid Pandemic and the charity has had to adjust, review and revise its services due to government restrictions. As a direct impact of the pandemic we tailored our services by putting social distancing measures in place, for both guests and volunteers, as well as hand sanitiser and masks around site to ensure everyone was kept as safe as possible. 

We also tailored our service by offering a takeaway option, which limited the amount of guests sitting in and eating. 

We also was able to offer COVID-19 vaccinations with the support of our Nurse Practitioner on site.

## **THE ONE LOVE PROJECT** 

(Charitable Incorporated Organisation) 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31ST MAY 2022** 

## **Public Benefit** 

The Trustees pay due respect to the guidance provided by the Charities Commission when deciding on the activities of the Charity. This is demonstrated by the diverse range of services provided by the charity across a broad demographic whilst maintaining the objectives as detailed by the Charities Commission. 

## **Contribution Made by Volunteers** 

The One Love Project currently has 106 active volunteers. 

Our volunteers contribute and help run our services throughout the week, which varies from back office support, volunteer recruitment, on-site maintenance, donation sorting, food collections, fundraising events, committees, training courses, donation collections, cooking and prepping meals and running both the soup kitchen and food bank services. 

All volunteers are offered a varied range of appropriate training including mental health first aid, trauma informed approaches, professional boundaries, suicide awareness, drug & alcohol awareness and naloxone. 

Working together as a team, to provide the services we do allows for a meaningful contribution towards a better community. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Charity is governed by The Charity Commission for England and Wales and operates as a CIO Foundation Charity. 

The Charity has a diverse range of experience within its board of trustees and all appointment are advertised via a wide range of channels including social media and local services, all applications are via a standardised application form and full interview process, the trustees are currently looking to broaden the board via a vigorous recruitment strategy with they aim to have two additional trustees with identified experience within the next financial year. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

In May 2021, The One Love Project recruitment a Head of Operations to oversee the full operation across all services. 

As our first full time employee role, this allowed The One Love Project the opportunity to add consistency and infrastructure into the organisation and across the board. 

This year, a lot of time has been invested internally with the main focus on the internal infrastructure, for example, HR systems and policies, Health and Safety including risk assessments, IT Services and accounting /book keeping systems. 

This has allowed us to grow and expand internally, now employing 3 part time members of staff and 1 full time member of staff and externally, being able to offer more services. 

The Head of Operations takes actions and guidance from outcomes of trustee meetings and reports back with monthly updates. 

The other posts all report into Head of Operations, where guidance is given on tasks required. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Charity took the decision to run the accounts for 14 months, this has allowed for 2 years full accounts. 

Whilst the period covered by the accounts, 1 April 2021 to 31 May 2022, is a 14 month period a large proportion of this period has been affected by the Covid pandemic. However the income of the Charity, following its first year as a CIO in 2020/21, has shown a dramatic growth, mainly via restricted funding applications and grants, which has allowed for the expansion of services and provision. 

The Charity aims to continue to grow the services and support it offers to the community within the next year.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Assessment of Going Concern** 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

## _**Recognition of Incoming Resources**_ 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and 

▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability 

## _**Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure**_ 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. 

## _**Grants and Donations**_ 

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## _**Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts**_

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable. 

## _**Donated Services and Facilities**_

The Charity operates a PAYE scheme to pay all members of employed staff. The Charity also engages with staff on a Self-employed basis and is therefore not liable to Income Tax and National Insurance Cost for Self-employed members of staff and no employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000. 

## **13. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES** 

No payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them. 

## **14. RISK ASSESSMENT** 

The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **15. RESERVES POLICY** 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. 

## **16. PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake 

## **17. INTRODUCTION OF FIXED ASSETS** 

The One Love Project acquired a fixed tangible asset in the form of a Motor Vehicle which has been introduced in to the accounts at cost value and appropriate depreciation has been charged to reflect a true and fair value of the Charity's closing financial position as at the 31st May 2022.
