**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Our Mission:** 

"To relieve the needs of persons who are in need by virtue of being homeless or rough sleepers in the city of Brighton and Hove and its surrounding areas, through the provision of support, advocacy, clothing, self-care items and furniture" 

## **Our Aims:** 

To deliver logistical support for the provision of non-perishable goods in support of the homeless population of Brighton and Hove - Involving the collection, storage, processing and onwards distribution via outreach and other distribution mechanisms 

Embed ourselves further in the local community through liaison with partner charities and governmental organisations in the provision of services to the homeless 

Develop methods and means of fundraising to create a sustainable charity model 

Examine opportunities to further develop our provision and our scope of services 

To provide support and advocacy as an additional value add - although this is not our primary purpose 

## **Significant activities** 

Our Outreach Service, in partnership with other charitable organisations, currently provides clothing, toiletries and food to the homeless community in Brighton and Hove. 

In addition, our committed team of volunteers, coordinate, process and deliver donations on behalf of other day centres and charities within the city. 

This includes the supply of essential homeware goods for people in emergency and temporary accommodation - A standard home care pack consisting of toiletries, toaster, kettle, duvet, bedding, cooking utensils and crockery and cutlery. We are run entirely by volunteers, and we are working hard to expand our range of services to increase the number of those in need we can support. 

Knight Support is a volunteer-run organisation with 5 Trustees and circa. 20 volunteers, of which 2 of those are paid a contribution to living due to their hours of commitment and assistance provided. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees of Knight Support have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

Outreach Service helps many people. 

Furthermore, during the reporting period we conducted over 100 deliveries on behalf of other organisations. 

The outcomes are as follows: 

The positive benefits of our weekly Outreach are that people are clothed, fed, hydrated and signposted to other services. We improve peoples' moral and mental health with the love and care we offer with weekly help and also helping specific single cases. 

Develop trusting relationships with vulnerable people. Once trust is gained people are more willing to engage in joint work to address practical and attitudinal barriers to change. 

We provide harm reduction reducing the adverse effects of living outdoors or in emergency accommodation. As a result of this work, we expect to see a reduction in rough sleeping, begging and criminality. 

We improve emotional coping skills such as self-worth and self-esteem by being given 'LIKE NEW' clothes and footwear. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The total incoming resources for the year ended 5 April 2023 were £82,926 (2022; £32,355). Resources expended for the period totalled £41,337 (2022; £17,527) leaving surplus funds to be carried forward of £67,007 (2022; £25,418). 

The Charity held fund balances at the period end of £67,007. £44,595 of these funds held were unrestricted and the restricted funds were split out between the following funds; New Van: £4,487, Warehouse: £15,925 & Salaries: £2,000. 

## **Reserves policy** 

There is an agreed an amount of £15,000 as a reserve. (approximately 3 months running costs) 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have an expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 

The charity continues to demonstrate great progress and, as we have unfortunately seen demand for our services increase, we have been able to help more of those in need than ever before. 

Through our successful fundraising campaigning we were able to generate enough funds to obtain a long-term lease for a warehouse to store and process the large amounts of donations we currently receive. This has had a game-changing impact on how we run our organisation and has resulted in a whole range of economies of scale and improved operational efficiencies. 

We are currently in a stable financial position and, against a backdrop of a challenging fundraising landscape, we will continue to aim to continue to bolster our reserves. In addition, we have further strengthened our board with trustees who have extensive and relevant experience. 

It is testament to the ongoing dedication of our volunteers that means we can continue to ensure that any funding received is used in the most cost-effective way - maximising the impact we have on homelessness and rough sleeping in our city. 

During the accounting period sources of funds were mainly public donations and 9 grants. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Foundation Constitution, and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Knight Support** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Knight Support (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations and grants to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. Further detail is given in the Trustees' Annual Report. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Fixtures and fittings|-  25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Motor vehicles|-  25% on cost|
|Computer equipment|-  25% on cost|



Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims Our Mission:** 

"To relieve the needs of persons who are in need by virtue of being homeless or rough sleepers in the city of Brighton and Hove and its surrounding areas, through the provision of support, advocacy, clothing, self-care items and furniture" 

## **Our Aims:** 

To deliver logistical support for the provision of non-perishable goods in support of the homeless population of Brighton and Hove - Involving the collection, storage, processing and onwards distribution via outreach and other distribution mechanisms 

Embed ourselves further in the local community through liaison with partner charities and governmental organisations in the provision of services to the homeless 

Develop methods and means of fundraising to create a sustainable charity model 

Examine opportunities to further develop our provision and our scope of services 

To provide support and advocacy as an additional value add - although this is not our primary purpose 

## **Significant activities** 

Our Outreach Service, in partnership with other charitable organisations, currently provides clothing, toiletries and food to the homeless community in Brighton and Hove. 

In addition, our committed team of volunteers, coordinate, process and deliver donations on behalf of other day centres and charities within the city. 

This includes the supply of essential homeware goods for people in emergency and temporary accommodation - A standard home care pack consisting of toiletries, toaster, kettle, duvet, bedding, cooking utensils and crockery and cutlery. We are run entirely by volunteers, and we are working hard to expand our range of services to increase the number of those in need we can support. 

Knight Support is a volunteer-run organisation with 5 Trustees and circa. 20 volunteers, of which 2 of those are paid a contribution to living due to their hours of commitment and assistance provided. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees of Knight Support have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit.

**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities** 

Outreach Service helps many people. 

Furthermore, during the reporting period we conducted over 100 deliveries on behalf of other organisations. 

The outcomes are as follows: 

The positive benefits of our weekly Outreach are that people are clothed, fed, hydrated and signposted to other services. We improve peoples' moral and mental health with the love and care we offer with weekly help and also helping specific single cases. 

Develop trusting relationships with vulnerable people. Once trust is gained people are more willing to engage in joint work to address practical and attitudinal barriers to change. 

We provide harm reduction reducing the adverse effects of living outdoors or in emergency accommodation. As a result of this work, we expect to see a reduction in rough sleeping, begging and criminality. 

We improve emotional coping skills such as self-worth and self-esteem by being given 'LIKE NEW' clothes and footwear. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The total incoming resources for the year ended 5 April 2023 were £82,926 (2022; £32,355). Resources expended for the period totalled £41,337 (2022; £17,527) leaving surplus funds to be carried forward of £67,007 (2022; £25,418). 

The Charity held fund balances at the period end of £67,007. £44,595 of these funds held were unrestricted and the restricted funds were split out between the following funds; New Van: £4,487, Warehouse: £15,925 & Salaries: £2,000. 

## **Reserves policy** 

There is an agreed an amount of £15,000 as a reserve. (approximately 3 months running costs) 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have an expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. 

The charity continues to demonstrate great progress and, as we have unfortunately seen demand for our services increase, we have been able to help more of those in need than ever before. 

Through our successful fundraising campaigning we were able to generate enough funds to obtain a long-term lease for a warehouse to store and process the large amounts of donations we currently receive. This has had a game-changing impact on how we run our organisation and has resulted in a whole range of economies of scale and improved operational efficiencies. 

We are currently in a stable financial position and, against a backdrop of a challenging fundraising landscape, we will continue to aim to continue to bolster our reserves. In addition, we have further strengthened our board with trustees who have extensive and relevant experience. 

It is testament to the ongoing dedication of our volunteers that means we can continue to ensure that any funding received is used in the most cost-effective way - maximising the impact we have on homelessness and rough sleeping in our city. 

During the accounting period sources of funds were mainly public donations and 9 grants. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Foundation Constitution, and constitutes a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Knight Support** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Knight Support (the Trust) for the year ended 5 April 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**KNIGHT SUPPORT** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations and grants to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable they will be fulfilled. 

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP. Further detail is given in the Trustees' Annual Report. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Fixtures and fittings|-  25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Motor vehicles|-  25% on cost|
|Computer equipment|-  25% on cost|



Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity.  Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
