Since this time, we have identified significant other needs in our community and today, in addition to supplying fresh meals, it provides practical support to vulnerable individuals and families in the district of Watford. One Vision has an assets-based approach. We work with all faiths and non-faiths, ethnic groups, and communities of interest on equal terms. We are not limited to one community of interest, and we aim to build strategic connections between many different organisations, with a focus on leadership and collaborative action. We bring together community organisations from across the area with statutory services such as the Police and Fire Services, local authority services, businesses, and prominent local figures, to create strong community leadership and engagement. We also bring organisations and stakeholders together in our forum to identify needs and take a holistic community approach to tackling these needs. We enable, and sometimes lead, a collaborative response. Examples of collaborative initiatives are our food programme, the Youth Council, the Mental Health Services, and the One Voice forum we are developing. The organisation is run primarily on volunteer power and compassion. We have an amazing team of dedicated volunteers who have ensured the success and growth of One Vision whilst giving back to their community. **----- Start of picture text -----**

## **FUNDRAISING REPORT** Over the past year, our charity has made significant progress in expanding our fundraising efforts. We have focused on two key areas: trust fundraising and corporate fundraising. Here's an update on our initiatives and achievements ## **Trust Fundraising** We started a trust fundraising programme, beginning with the development of a compelling Case for Support. Despite the challenging funding environment, we persisted and consistently improved our Case based on valuable feedback received. While the initial success was limited, we remained determined and committed to refining our approach. As time passed, we assessed that the charity had reached a point of readiness to actively pursue a large National Lottery Community Fund bid and engage with the rigorous process of developing the application. Simultaneously, a strategic decision was made to temporarily suspend approaches to other foundations due to our limited budget. However, we remained open to exceptional opportunities that presented themselves, such as a MacMillan Cancer fund. **Corporate Fundraising** Our perseverance paid off as we advanced to Stage 2 of the highly-competitive Reaching Communities fund. If successful, this funding will be transformative for our organisation, providing stability and solidifying our foundations for the next three years. Importantly, the rigorous work invested in the bid will also strengthen our future trust fundraising endeavours. In 2023, we launched a corporate fundraising program to expand our revenue streams. To make our proposition more compelling, we focused on generating exposure for our corporate partners. We reached out to local schools in Hertfordshire, seeking their support for our cause. By involving schools, we aimed to increase the number of One Vision stakeholders who would witness a company's support for our charity. We are delighted to report that eight schools have committed to supporting our work in the upcoming academic year 2023-24. This collaboration will not only benefit our charity but also provide valuable visibility for our corporate partners. Furthermore, we have received verbal agreements from two companies to partner with us, indicating growing interest and potential for further corporate fundraising success. **10** ## **FUNDRAISING REPORT** **Future Plans** Looking ahead, our goal is to nurture and develop both our trust fundraising and corporate fundraising strands. We aim to establish a sustainable stream of regular income from trusts, companies, and schools, ensuring the long-term financial stability of our organisation. Securing National Lottery funding will provide a solid foundation for our trust fundraising efforts, enabling us to resume and expand our approaches to other funders. We remain committed to refining our fundraising strategies, learning from our experiences, and seizing compelling opportunities to maximize our impact. We extend our deepest gratitude to all our supporters, donors, and partners who have played a crucial role in our fundraising journey. Together, we are making a difference and transforming lives through our collective efforts. **11** ## **TRUSTEES** ## **TRUSTEES** 1. Harjit Singh (Chair of Trustees) 2. Dean Russell MP 3.

The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP2015) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in July 2014. They have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. The Trustees confirm that they have sought to comply with the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. ## **Constitution** **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT** The constitution currently in force was last amended on **OF ONE VISION** 31 December 2022. The principal object of the Charity is to: - I. Provide relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, illhealth, disability or financial hardship in Watford and the surrounding area by: - I. Promote networking and partnerships with local business and community organisations through the exchange of information and co-ordinated activities and projects for public benefit. - I. Promote cohesive community strategies to address the physical, social, emotional, and mental health needs of people in the local area regardless of background or religious affiliations, through initiatives and projects for public benefit. - I. Provide practical support to vulnerable individuals and families who self-identify as being in need of relief as a result of inequalities caused by food poverty and social deprivation, through the provision of hot meals, food bags and other essential items. **20** **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT OF ONE VISION Continued..** - V. Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CEO for the purposes which are not charitable in accordance with [section 7 of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005] and [section 2 of the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008] ## **Method of Appointment or Election of Trustees** The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the constitution. ## **Organisational Structure** The Charity is governed by its Board of Trustees. We have a clear and compelling programme of strategic initiatives designed to reach more people living with poverty and bringing diverse communities together. Whilst there continues to be uncertainty in the external environment, we will continually evolve our structure to meet the needs operationally. Our trustees are ultimately responsible for the overall control and strategic direction of the Charity and the protection of its assets. Day-to-day management is delegated to the CEO, Enoch Kanagaraj, and the Senior Leadership Group. Our Trustees meet regularly to set the vision, strategic framework, risks and budgets under which the charity operates. Trustees have been chaired by Harjit Singh DL since 31 December 2022. The full board formally meet at least three times a year. Our governance is underpinned by the Charity’s Constitution. The trustees set the strategic direction of the organisation and are regularly updated on grants, budgets, public relations, and fundraising campaigns. **21** **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT OF ONE VISION Continued..** ## **Reporting Serious Incidents** The Trustees continue to assess the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks and that there were no serious incidents that they failed to bring to the Commission's attention. ## **Safeguarding** The Charity is predominantly run by volunteers and has in place a Vulnerable Adult and Child Protection Policy together with a procedure for DBS Disclosure applications for employees and volunteers working with children and also for those working with vulnerable adults. ## **Risk Management** The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Charity and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate our exposure to the major risks. **22** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** Donated income is made up of Individual Contributions, Corporate Contributions, Government Grants and general fundraising. ## **INCOME** The Charity’s main income is from restricted and unrestricted grants offered by Watford BC (Watford Residents) Watford Community Housing Trust, the National Lottery, Three Rivers Trust. The COOP, the British Union Conference and Hertfordshire Police. ## **EXPENDITURE** As part of project grant conditions, One Vision is often required to contribute towards funding a proportion of the project costs, i.e., match funding. In addition to this, One Vision finances small projects directly. The match funding and the small project funding thus constitute the unrestricted expenditure on charitable activities. ## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** In setting plans and priorities for areas of work, the Trustees have given regard to guidance from the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit. In particular the Trustees have considered and will continue to consider how our planned activities will contribute to the objectives we have set. How we deliver our principal is demonstrated in our policies, objectives and plans. The public benefit arising from our work is inherent in the grants made and the assistance given. Further we are mindful of the social, moral and ethical causes of poverty and our purpose is to address both the causes and offer relief in outcome **23** ## **KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL** The Trustees consider the Chief Executive Office, the Head of Operations, Head of Food Hub, and the Chair of Trustees as comprising the key management personnel of the Charity in charge of directing and controlling the Charity and running and operating the Charity on a day to day basis. All Trustees give of their time freely and no Trustee remuneration was paid in the year. Trustees are required to disclose all relevant interests and register them with the Chief Executive. None of the Trustees had financial interests with the Charity; any such interests would be disclosed. **TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING** New trustees are provided with copies of the Charity's constitution and minutes of the executive committee meetings for the current year. In addition, each trustee receives a copy of the Charity Commission document "The essential trustee - what you need to know, what you need to do" and the regular Charity Commission Newsletters. In as much as the majority of new trustees start their term of office at the commencement of each new biennial the primary induction is provided at the first meeting of the biennial, with further support during the term of office. The Trustees (who are also directors of One Vision for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.) The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the Charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are required to: **24** **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES IN RESPECT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; - Make judgements 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; - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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 Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charity Accounts and Reports Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. So far as the Trustees are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity’s auditors are unaware; and The Trustees have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Charity’s auditors are aware of that information. Approved by the Trustees of One Vision and signed on their behalf by **……………………………………………… Enoch Kanagaraj CEO & Founder Date: 28 July 2023** **25** **INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ONE VISION FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** To the Trustees, I have audited the accompanying financial statements of One Vision which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2021, and the statements of income and retained earnings for the year then ended and a summary of other explanatory information. Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor’s Responsibility My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion. Opinion In my opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of One Vision as at December 31, 2022 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. ………………………………………………………………………… **Chartered Certified Accountant Earl Ramharacksingh, FCCA Independent Auditor Date: 28 July 2023** **26** ONE VISION BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER BALANCE SHEET as at 31st December 2022 IF￿ed Asset5 Tansible Assets Container Motor Vehicle Total Tangible Assets 1.850 4.456 4A56 Cash Debtors 4.232 n719 Totsl ￿Thent ilabmles 56.314 Charity Funds Fwd Incotne Ex Fwd Unrestricted RestrKted 25,223 12,097 Incorne 18.9151 28,405 28A05 Food ProEramme Salaries Council Tax Afghan Project Building Lrfe Chances IBLCI ComedyTherapst Recycling Portacabin Hire 35.1(K) 131.1591 151.8931 12,2591 15,7991 15,3821 16,1311 11,3061 12,3911 3.941 12.607 241 9.690 3,891 118 1.447 2,391 s￿ 2,641 Vulnerable Pupils- Schools Community 5afetyNaccinatK)n Diabetes Projert Total RestrKted Funds SC 582 582 15.4791 1,27.790 1111.8011 1.521 23,￿19 11.920 27,W9 1.39.887 11.20.7161 56.314 27 **INCOME & EXPENDITURE For The Year End 31[st] December 2022** **28**
