STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The Vine Centre is controlled by its governing document, the Constitution, and operates as a CIO. The CIO was registered on 25 February 2021 as The Vine Centre 1193666. The Vine Centre formerly operated as a Charity also known as the Vine Centre 1095915 which was an unincorporated Charity that was in operation for 38 years.

Trustees and Method of Appointment

The CIO has 7 Trustees, responsible for the governance of the CIO. This year they have undergone Trustee Training sessions run by a facilitator provided by Lloyds Bank Foundation. This has ensured that the Trustees have been able to create a Trustee Recruitment Pack, a Trustee’s Skills Matrix and a Development Plan. The Trustees of the CIO may be appointed during the year at a quarterly Trustees Meeting, subject to interview. The candidature of people with skills, experience and/or Interests relevant to the CIO’s activities are encouraged through advertising publicly and soliciting local organisations. They may serve for up to four years before re-election. Trustees are governed by the CIO’s Constitution.

Induction and Training of Trustees

Following appointment, new Trustees are introduced to their new role and given copies of the Constitution and a guide to the policies and procedures adopted by the CIO. All Trustees are expected to attend training that is relevant to their roles and read a number of publications from the Charity Commission, ensuring that new Trustees are aware of the scope of their responsibilities under the Charities Act.

Risk Management

The CIO operates a Risk Management process that meets the requirements of the Charity Commission. The significant risks to which the CIO could be exposed are a) income is insufficient to cover expenditure b) Trustees lack relevant skills of commitment c) activities potentially outside of objects, powers or terms of gift (unrestricted reserves) d) loss of key staff. Priority is given to managing and mitigating these risks effectively. The CIO’s financial position is monitored and reported on quarterly to the Trustees by the CEO. A number of lower priority potential risks have been identified and up to date policies that are reviewed annually are in place to minimise the consequences of all identified risks. The Trustees discuss all aspects of the CIO’s operations at every Trustees Meeting to understand, identify and manage risks.

Wider Network

The CIO works with many organisations including local authorities, voluntary organisations, corporate partners, the military, churches, the local community, adult services, older people’s services, children’s services, police and probation. We have strong links with the CCG, NHS and local GP surgeries in and around Hampshire. Staff and Volunteers attend multi-agency meetings, local training, presentations and events regularly.

Funders also have a continuing interest in the CIO’s performance and its use of resources. A full breakdown of funders can be found in our Financial Statement (pages 12 to 21) the major funders are Broadhurst, Fluor, Hampshire County Council, Rushmoor Borough Council, The Worshipful Company of Girdlers, Truemark Trust, Hilden Charitable Trust, Albert Hunt Trust, Robert Gavron Trust, Veterans Fund, Tudor Trust, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Garfield Weston, Shanley Foundation, Surrey Community Foundation, Edward Gostling , Charles Hayward, ABF Soldiers Charity, The Community Lottery Fund and the Hampshire Isle of Wight Community Fund. The Vine Centre is Is also supported by individuals, churches, corporate sponsors, schools and organisations such as the Inner Wheel, Rotary and the Masons. During this financial year, the CIO was chosen as one of the Mayor of Rushmoor’s charities. The Vine Centre receives food donations and support from Waitrose, Tesco, Lidl, Morrisons, Co-op and Sainsburys as well as donations from the public. As so many of our beneficiaries are experiencing food poverty this is invaluable.

In addition, they donated the funding to redecorate the hall way which has improved the general look and feel of the CIO, The Vine Centre thank The Aldershot Institute for their continued support.

Our thanks go to all those that support The Vine Centre and contribute to its continued success.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an important resource in all aspects of The Vine Centre’s work and we accept applications for these posts from our clients and from the wider community, in total we received voluntary support from 31 individuals. Volunteers have supported the CIO by working with the support team to help with the Community Cupboard, Silvers, Culture Café, My Helping Hand, Cooking with Confidence, barista training, Community Café, My Space and cleaning. In addition, two volunteer counsellors work in conjunction with the mental health workers adding value to the support offer.

All volunteers are offered training opportunities including food hygiene, barista training and safeguarding and those working with vulnerable adults are DBS checked and introduced to mental health training opportunities. The CIO appreciates the hard work and commitment of all of its volunteers as without them we would not be able to offer such a comprehensive package of support.

Staffing

The Vine Centre employs a CEO, who is supported by an Operations Manager and both posts are offered on a full-time basis. There is a full-time senior support/project worker, two specialist mental health workers and one support worker employed on a part-time basis. Also employed are two parttime project workers who help deliver IT, training and employment services.

The CIO secured funding from Hampshire County Council to employ a driver to support the Community Cupboard operation. This post was offered on a part-time basis and the postholder took up employment in January 2022.

The CIO offers barista training to clients and through this programme have employed a former client to work as a barista at the Culture Café, Silvers and the Community Café this post is on a part-time basis.

Objectives and Activities

Objectives

The object of the CIO is: “to provide a centre and services”, which offer information, advice, advocacy, training, counselling and health care services and recreational facilities to it’s clients, particularly those who are vulnerable by homelessness, unemployment, mental health, learning difficulties, addiction, poverty, or social deprivation, to reduce social isolation, enable change and improve quality of life.”

Public Benefit

The Trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

The CIO supported 1049 individuals in 2021 to 2022 and 238 families which include those in food poverty. In 2000 to 2021 the predecessor had worked with 770 individuals and 62 families. There has been a substantial increase in those needing support due to the pandemic, food and fuel poverty and feeling socially isolated. The age range for using services has also changed as The Vine Centre are now supporting more family units, the youngest beneficiary was aged 6 months and the oldest was aged 83 . Of the total number of clients supported 567 are new to the CIO.

The CIO have also seen an even larger increase in females accessing services. Of the clients and families supported 50.7% were females and 49% were males, 0.3% identified as other genders during 2020 to 2021 the client split was, 54% male and 46% female.

The team carried out 1341 Zoom and telephone support sessions from April to October 2021 as people were still under COVID-19 restrictions during this period. In November to March 2021, all The Vine Centre services became face to face and a further 1292 support sessions took place, which included help with benefits, budgeting, housing, filling in forms, school applications, utility support and those needing support with low level - mental health issues. All clients accessing 1:1 support completed a full risk and needs assessment and physical health questionnaire, ensuring that they are referred to specialist support if necessary.

The CIO’s specialist mental health workers continued to offer face to face 1:1 support throughout the pandemic to those who had a mental health diagnosis and held 1192 sessions with 122 clients, 54 of these also received anger management support. Referrals for this service have come via the Community Mental Health Recovery Service (CMHRS), Probation, NHS, GP’s, Adult and Children’s services other charitable organisations and community groups and the CIO’s other support services services.

The CIO’s specialist mental health workers worked with those in addiction and supported these clients throughout the pandemic on a 1:1 basis until November 2021 where they returned to face to face support. In January 2022 the CIO restarted the weekly GASP (Gambling, Alcohol, Substance Misuse Project) which works towards a harm - minimisation approach enabling clients to better function in everyday life including returning to social activities, training and employment. The total number of clients supported during 2021 to 2022 through GASP was 74 and of those 48 were veterans, serving military or their families; the CIO received funding from the ABF Soldiers Charity and the Veterans Foundation to support the work with the military this year.

To further support those with mental health issues the volunteer counsellors carried out 100 sessions with 17 clients which were all via the telephone until January 2022.

During the pandemic therapeutic art sessions were held monthly online, in June 2021 the CIO started face to face sessions every Wednesday, the group could facilitate up to 8 clients a week and reached

capacity in November 2021.Therapeutic art compliments the mental health and counselling support the CIO offers its clients.

Throughout the pandemic the Silvers and Shoulder to Shoulder projects offered home visits and telephone befriending support to those aged 55 and over. From April to October 2021 staff completed 180 home visits and 1,341 befriending calls. At the beginning of December 2021, the Silvers group re-opened for support and activities, after a slow start due to participants being nervous about reengaging after feeling socially isolated throughout the pandemic, attendances are increasing every week.

Training & Employment Services:

‘ My Space’ runs every Monday for 5 hours and offers training and employment opportunities which includes CV writing, interview skills, job searches, digital assistance, help and training. During the pandemic the project offered one to one support via Zoom or telephone. The CIO re-opened the service for booked face to face appointments in April 2021, following Government guidance and adhering to the CIO’s COVID-19 risk assessment at all times. A total of 104 clients were supported and achieved the following outcomes: 49 clients back into paid employment, 57 completed training courses and 24 took up voluntary positions both externally and at The Vine Centre.

The CIO also facilitates the Skills Café which runs every Wednesday for 2.5 hours located on the Prospect Estate and run as part of the Prospect Estate Big Local (PEBL) project, funded by The Big Lottery, this ran virtually from the Vine Centre until August 2021, when the staff team returned to the Skills Café to provide face to face support. A total of 61 clients were supported and achieved the following outcomes: 49 completed training courses and 29 entered paid or voluntary work.

Many of those attending the ‘My Space’ and Skills Café projects present with low- level numeracy and literacy skills so the CIO offers the ‘My Helping Hand’ project to improve, reading, writing and maths skills as well as offering the online basic IT course ‘Learn My Way’. There has been a noticeable increase in client’s presenting with English as a second language, for example Nepali and refugees and asylum seeker from over twelve different countries, so the CIO now offers ‘English My Way’ and (a conversational group as part of the project). Staff and volunteers worked with 78 clients throughout the year of which 42% had English as a second language.

The CIO’s aim is to offer an inclusive support service, which places clients at the centre, helping them to accept and to deal with their problems in a safe environment and assisting with the growth of self-esteem and confidence that facilitates change. This in turn empowers individuals to reach their true potential and progresses their chances of employment, training, education, freedom from addiction, improves mental health, assists with social interaction and prevents social isolation.

The CIO provides a diverse support network for its clients which is accessible under one roof, offering a wraparound service located at the Centre in Aldershot.

The Trustees believe that the information outlined above gives evidence of the public benefit the CIO offers to the community.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

COVID-19 Pandemic

Throughout the pandemic following Government guidelines, The Vine Centre made the decision to see clients in crisis for face to face support sessions, in particular those with mental health issues, addiction, anger, or fleeing domestic violence. The Vine Centre completed a COVID-19 risk assessment to ensure the health and safety needs of clients, volunteers and staff were met. Groups were re-introduced and clients were allowed more access to The Vine Centre building, moving away from appointments only and by the end of November 2021, the CIO was fully operational and saw an increase in those accessing the support services grow by a third.

The CIO continued to offer a food delivery service to those who were unable to access food because they were self-isolating or in food poverty until the end of April 2021, from the 21 March 2020 to 30[th] April 2021 the CIO provided those in need with 10,053 home-cooked meals and 4,011 food packages.

Community Cupboard

Post COVID-19 the CIO was still seeing a need for food support, so took the decision to open a community cupboard which was fully operational from May 2021 after successfully receiving a grant from the Government’s Household Support Fund, awarded through Hampshire County Council. The CIO have seen 1664 visits to the community cupboard and the beneficiaries have been families, those of pensionable age, veterans, the Nepali community, refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable adults. In March 2022 there was an increase in visits and by the end of March 2022, services were being accessed by at least 100 households a week and this trend looks set to continue. The Community Cupboard is accessible to all and linked into our support services. On visit four, members of the Community Cupboard are encouraged to attend budgeting sessions, link in with specialist support, attend groups and have access to training and employment services. The CIO has promoted the Cooking with Confidence course to those accessing the Community Cupboard and getting them to cook healthy meals on a budget.

Vinemas

The CIO offered a food and gift delivery service over the Christmas period, which was free of charge thanks to support from the local community. The CIO delivered 26 food hampers to the elderly, 70 Christmas meals, 64 children’s gift bags and 120 adult gifts. The CIO would like to thank in particular the Arnold Clarke Foundation, Sodexo and St. Mary’s Church, Frensham, for their contributions both in monetary terms and wrapped presents.

Training services

The CIO offers a training plan which enables clients to enhance key life skills, supporting them into volunteering and employment. The building contains an IT suite offering training opportunities such as level 2 Food Hygiene Course, Barista training and ‘Learn My Way’ a basic IT course with several modules including online safety. During the course of 2021 to 2022: 105 completed Learn My Way, 30 completed barista training both on-line and by volunteering in the Culture Café’ and 17 completed level 2 food hygiene certificates.

The CIO re-opened the Cooking with Confidence training programme in August 2021 and have seen 42 clients complete the 5 weeks course, which helps with meal planning, eating healthily, cooking on a budget and learning basic skills which helps get participants back into employment.

Our clients have been able to access training courses and workshops such as the Civil Service Workshop, Site Operation Management, Fork Lift Driver course, Enterprise Course, Positive Thinking Course, Farnborough College of Technology (ESOL), IT basics, Employment Skills (Community First), National Careers Service Courses, CSCS, Adult Learning Course, Online Hampshire Library Courses, Employability and Wellbeing Course and Excel and Word training.

Client’s participation

The CIO encourages clients to be involved in the shaping of services and to participate in conversations around new initiatives and the implementation of new service offers. Clients act as peer mentors and offered volunteering opportunities. Clients have been invited to attend working groups with the staff team with regards to improving the CIO’s training and marketing strategy. When employing new staff members, the CIO has consulted with clients and sought their opinions, involving them in the interview process. Clients are consulted about new project ideas and have been heavily involved with the development of the new Culture Café project, coming up with activities and training opportunities for their peers. The Vine Centre has undergone improvement over the past year with new IT resources, new furniture and a redecoration of the building; clients have been fully engaged with the upgrade.

New Services

Culture Café

The CIO successfully applied for a grant from the Community Lottery Fund; the total grant was £100,000 to be paid over three years. Funding included set up costs, a barista coffee machine and serving area, new furniture and a re-decoration of the group room. The Culture Café opened in July 2021 and was an instant success, offering training opportunities, the opportunity to learn new skills and attend activities for those 55 and under in a café’ style environment. Clients attending the Culture Café are able to take up volunteering opportunities and are encouraged to complete

barista training. The project reduces social isolation, facilitates change and improves health and wellbeing in a safe, non-judgemental space. The Culture Café was opened by Major (Retd) Mani Rai the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire and Bruce Thomas, Mayor of Rushmoor on 17 August 2021. During the renovation period of the Culture Café the project received a Royal visitor, Prince Edward Earl of Wessex, who helped chose the colour scheme and enjoyed meeting the Culture Café staff team, volunteers and Trustees. The Earl was impressed by all The Vine Centre’s many services. The sessions run at the Culture Café have included floristry, painting, arts and crafts, crocheting, First Aid training, photography, pizza making, media training, website planning, scams awareness, barista training, English My Way and cake making. The group saw 50 clients a week on average and has now extended its hours to meet increased demand.

SHINE

The CIO saw an increase in those presenting between the ages of 16 and 24 who were not in education, training or employment (NEET). This client group are difficult to engage, so a new project was started called SHINE, which provides training, IT courses, English My Way and mental health support in a relaxed environment, with music, food and coffees. The group is run every Thursday Thursday between 4pm and 7pm and attendance and engagement has been 6 to 15 clients weekly.

Community Café

The CIO applied for funding from the Household Support Fund (Hampshire County Council) to run a Community Café every Wednesday; this was in response to demand from clients facing financial crisis. There were people accessing the Community Cupboard who needed help with budgeting, access to training and development opportunities, mental health support, appointments with the Family Worker and help to navigate the benefits system. The Community Café opened at the beginning of February 2022 and has proved popular. Those attending access the Community Cupboard and receive financial support to help pay for utilities such as gas, electric and water bills. Since opening, there have been 136 budgeting appointments and the CIO has financially supported 52 people with funding to reduce their utility bills. The Community Café offers a safe environment to promote change and reduce social exclusion, offering clients the skills to improve their quality of life.

Evening Vine

The CIO saw a rise in client numbers over the past year and applied for funding to increase staff hours to open services two evenings a week from 4.00pm to 7.30pm. The CIO received additional funding from Broadhurst, Joanies Fund and the Community Lottery. The evening sessions began at the beginning of January 2021. The new evening sessions have allowed services to be more accessible to those who are unable to attend during normal opening hours such as those in education, working or who are unable to attend due to childcare issues. There is a waiting list for specialist mental health, addiction and anger management support; the additional hours have allowed support for a further 12 clients each week ensuring that waiting times are reduced and more manageable.

Refugees/Asylum Seekers

The CIO has seen increased numbers of refugees and asylum seekers accessing its services, in particular the Community Cupboard, Community Café, Culture Café, Cooking with Confidence, SHINE, Therapeutic Art, Digital Skills and Mental Health Support. The refugees and asylum seekers have been welcomed into the community and some have taken up volunteering opportunities both internally and externally. The CIO has worked with 120 individuals over the course of the year helping with school and college admissions, bus passes, travel costs, training and conversational English. These clients speak 12 different languages and to help there are volunteers and staff who are bilingual, this has greatly improved communication.

Fundraising

The CIO continues to seek grant and trust funds and have worked incredibly hard on the marketing and networking, to attract government and community funding. During 2021 to 2022 there has been a good community response and a substantial increase in donations in particular Government funding. We have attracted interest in the CIO through social media outlets, press releases and radio Interviews.

FINANCIAL REVIEW - by Treasurer – Katherine Loxton

Review of the Year

During 2021-22, The Vine Centre generated an income of £384,054 (£296,299 in 2020-21). The CIO’s total expenditure was £313,595 (£224,097 in 2020-2021) The overall net surplus resource is £70,459 (£72,201 surplus in 2020-21)

Katherine Loxton (Treasurer) comments

The CIO is carrying forward an unrestricted reserve of £143,129 of which £70,000 is to cover 6 months running costs; the remaining £73,129 allows flexibility in case of future emergencies, provides the ability to act quickly to changing environments and client’s needs and gives an indication of permanence. The general reserves policy is commensurate with the growth of the CIO over the past few years.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aim to hold reserves sufficient to cover 6 months’ running costs which amounts to £70,000, we are currently running in line with policy requirements. This amount is being met, with unrestricted funds held as cash.

Alex Crawford (Chair) comments

‘I would like to thank the CEO, staff team and volunteers for all their brilliant work, which has served clients and community so well in difficult times’.

THE VINE CENTRE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The Vine Centre meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

The Vine Centre CIO was registered on 25 Febuary 2021 under charity number 1193666, and took over the existing operations of the Vine Centre charity number 1095915 from April 2021.

As operations had effectively continued unchanged, and to aid transparency these accounts have been drawn up with the comparatives showing the last figures for the old charity.

1.2 Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Income

All income resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

1.4 Expenditure

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.

1.5 Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing balance basis.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

1.7 Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate, and receivable or payable within one year, are recorded at transaction price.

1.8 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 analysis of funds is included in the notes to the financial statements.
