## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The purposes of the charity are the prevention or relief of poverty and homelessness in Manchester and Salford by the provision of outreach and support services to individuals in need and/or other charities, or other organisations working to prevent or relieve poverty and homelessness.
## **Objectives and aims**
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity (PB2)’.
## **Governing document**
The charity is a registered charity (CIO Foundation) and is constituted under a trust deed dated 29th July 2021.
## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees**
Recruitment and appointment of trustees the trustees were appointed following a meeting of the founding volunteers Two Brews where each volunteer was given the opportunity to nominate themselves to become a Trustee. Following this Susannah Gill, Johanne Reach and Gary Potts were formally appointed as Trustees in the roles of Chair, Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
## **Achievements and performance**
We have been able to provide outreach services in Manchester City Centre 7 nights per week serving between 100 and 200 hot meals per night along with sandwiches hot and cold drinks as well as providing clothing and toiletries This has improved our impact from the previous year. We have also been able to place several of our service users into either temporary or permanent accommodation which has been a highlight for all involved with Two Brews.
## **Financial review**
We continued to generate significant revenue to fund supporting homeless people in Manchester and Salford. We raised £27,948 from a variety of charitable fund raisers, donations and grants. Our expenditure during this same period was approximately £31,704, which was spent on essential items for our nightly outreach services such as cooking ingredients, toiletries, equipment, emergency accommodation and food parcels. Overall, this has left us with approximately £12,000 in the bank as at 31st March 2025 to enable the charity to continue to provide these services into 2025 and beyond.
## **Investment policy**
Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year, most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for any longer-term investment.
## **Reserves policy**
## **TWO BREWS**
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to applications for grants which arise from time to time. Unrestricted funds were maintained at this level throughout the year.
## **Accounting and reporting responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

**TWO BREWS**
## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period 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 these financial statements, the
trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them _consistently;_
- _observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2019 (FRS102);_
- _make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;_
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in
the financial statements.
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
