ANNUAL REVIEW BOARD REPORT

DAWN’S NEW HORIZON

2022/23

1. Executive Summary

2021/22/23 Has been a significant period in the development of Dawn’s New Horizon (DNH). After 12 years in operation as a community interest group DNH Ltd, significant work has been undertaken to establish a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) registered as a Charity with the UK Charities Commission. We thank the Board of Trustees for their support in the development of the Governance and Board structure, their support for the growth of DNH and for their ongoing support and leadership.

DNH CIO has now completed its first year of operation and delivered its Annual Accounts. It should be noted that in addition to its reported financial position, DNH Ltd has also operated on its behalf whilst awaiting the Bank accounts and under the terms of its role as the charity’s commercial operation.

In summary, DNH CIO and its partners have received and delivered:

Supported over 500 clients with information, advice and guidance
Provided ACT Therapy to 54 clients
Delivered 472 Food Parcels
Provided £10,200 of White Goods
Provided £5,300 of DIY services
Distributed £4,000 worth of Clothing, Household Products and Toys
Provided £200 of bikes for child access to school
15 Safety Cameras
70 Phones for access to services
Saved 2 lives

During this initial reporting period we would also like to acknowledge the recognition of our CEO Lorraine Curston as a “Shining Light” from HM Government and the sad passing of two of our Trustees, Teresa and Steve.

3. Report

DNH CIO started its journey by applying to the UK Charities Commission to establish itself as a CIO in October 2020. After the development and delivery of the application and the creation of over 20 governance documents, DNH CIO finally became a registered Charity over a year later in December 2021. However, issues with the UK Banks resulted in significant delays in the establishment of the Bank Account(s) and therefore the ability of DNH CIO to fully operate as a Charity.

As part of its ongoing Charitable business structure DNH CIO retains the original DNH Ltd, Community Interest Group, as the commercial partner for the Charity. In this role, DNH Ltd provides a service receiving and processing donated goods both for distribution to those in need and for financial return, and provides the operation support and facilities for the Charitable Hub which administers and delivers the majority of the Charity’s services. Due to the issues with creating the Charity bank account DNH Ltd has received and operated funds on behalf of the Charity acquired prior to July 2022. This report is therefore the Annual Report for the Charity operations rather than the Accounts as established following the creation of the bank account.

Over the course of the initial establishment of DNH CIO 22/23 DNH has received donations of £1,000 from Roys of Wroxham, £5,000 from Screwfix, and £10,000 from the National Lottery. Whilst awaiting the establishment of the DNH CIO bank account these have been managed through DNH Ltd.

In addition, the processing of donated goods, through the operations of DNH Ltd, have funded the operation of Shop/Hub facility and provided a surplus to fund activities. In total the Hub facility has delivered:

Personnel in the Shop/Hub and telephone support to over 500 clients, consisting of one to one consultations, information advice and guidance and signposting to other support services.
Up to 6 sessions of ACT Therapy to 54 clients, helping them to rebuild and move on from the ongoing effects of DA
104 Christmas Food Parcels to those affected by DA over the Christmas period
100 Relief Food Parcels, as and when the need arose
200 Food Parcels for those in local refuge facilities
68 Food Parcels for Ukrainian families fleeing DA
£10,200 worth of funding on the purchase, delivery and disposal of White Goods; including Fridge Freezers, Washing Machines and Tumble Dryers to families setting up in new homes having fled DA

£5,300 of DIY services, providing professional services to change locks and replace curtain rails etc following a DA incident to provide a level of security and safety back to those affected by DA
Clothing and household products to value of £2500 to 50 clients fleeing DA
Toys for children fleeing DA to value of £500
£1000 of Clothing and Toys for a DA refuge
£200 of bikes to enable children to get to school
15 Cameras direct to clients, the Home Start project and Social Services to secure evidence of DA activity and act as deterrents
70 Phones to Libraries for the “Ask for Dawn” campaign and Social Services to enable independent access to support service.

Crucially, we have had direct response from Social Services that the phones have saved 2 lives.

In addition, DNH CIO has also raised its profile and impact in the local area. Our CEO has been invited and now represents DNH on Free Family Fun Days, WI, Churches, Training for Libraries and Mediation Norfolk and Suffolk, Mathew Project.

Representatives of DNH have also been working with Norwich Magistrates and delivered a presentation and stall for the court open day in Norwich.

DNH have partnered with Norfolk Libraries and delivered the “Ask for Dawn” support and advice service.
