## **CLEAN SLATE FINANCIAL WELLBEING SERVICES CIO** 

## **FIRST ANNUAL REPORT 2023 - 2024** 

## **Charitable Objectives** 

Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) dedicated to the promotion of financial inclusion and wellbeing for young people (16+) and adults who are recovering from addiction and mental ill health in Tyne and Wear. 

## **Our History** 

Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services CIO is an award-winning charity, delivering financial capability and inclusion services to people in recovery from substance misuse and addiction and mental health in Tyne and Wear. 

Our committed team of employees and volunteers provide individualised advice and guidance on matters of financial capability and do so with an understanding of addiction and recovery, grounded in their own lived experience. 

Our work is grounded in empathy and with a deep understanding of the stigma and shame that people can experience in relation to their financial situation as well as any physical and mental health barriers. 

We are an advocate for equity and system change. We work with local and national strategic partners to tackle the root causes of poverty and promote social inclusion and provide a platform for people and communities who are seldom heard. 

Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services was constituted as a CIC in 2021 before transitioning to its present iteration as a CIO which Trustees deemed was a more appropriate vehicle for the charitable objectives. 

The Clean Slate mission is to help people in recovery from addiction to regain control of their finances was originally founded in 2011 by Graham Brewis who wound up the organisation in 2018 when he could no longer continue to support people due to his own physical health. 

Graham’s concerns about the harmful effects of the increasing barriers to financial wellbeing support for people in recovery as a result of COVID-19 restrictions led him out of retirement when he began to offer support to the recovery community on a voluntary basis in 2020. 

During this time, Graham trained and supported volunteers to enable more people in recovery to access support and recruited several new volunteers who would become the first Trustees of the CIC which was constituted in 2021 before transitioning to become a CIO in 2023.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the dedication and commitment of the Clean Slate team, without whom none of this work would be possible: 

- Naomi Kenneth - CEO 

- Andrew Smith - Project Manager, Financial Inclusion 

- Graham Brewis - Founder 

- Lesley Hall - volunteer 

- Joyce Barsdell - volunteer 

- Lionel Joyce - Founding Trustee (retired 2024) 

Our heartfelt thanks go to the people and organisations who recognise and value the need for our services and who have placed trust in Clean Slate through the  financial support they have awarded to us in our first year: 

The National Lottery, Sir James Knott Foundation, Blue Stone Collaborative, The People’s Kitchen, MSE Charity, The Wise Group and Newcastle City Council. 

## **Financial Approach** 

Our trustees ensure that: 

- Resources are used efficiently and effectively 

- Funds are directed towards our charitable objectives 

## **Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit** . 

The trustees are confident that Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services CIO  continues to provide significant public benefit, directly supporting people in recovery from substance misuse and addiction and mental health in Tyne and Wear, contributing to whole person recovery from addiction and financial inclusion. 

## **Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.** 

Clean Slate was founded by and for people in recovery who we know are very often excluded when seeking support for their financial circumstances from services that have not been designed to enable equitable access for people who are experiencing cognitive difficulties, emotional distress, or irregular financial histories. 

Shame, stigma and discrimination based on mental health status, addiction history, or associated circumstances are key reasons why people do not ask for help. We take care to ensure that recovery is visible and celebrated at all levels of our organisation and because of this we have developed a reputation as a trusted service in the recovery community. 

Our work is grounded in local communities and ensures accessibility is not hindered by unstable housing, access to technology, digital literacy gaps, and cognitive challenges which can be barriers to engagement with increasingly digital financial support services, creditors and service providers. 

Page 3 



Financial inclusion represents a critical component of sustainable recovery and without addressing financial barriers, recovery efforts are undermined. 

The Clean Slate approach to financial inclusion creates a powerful positive feedback loop supporting sustained recovery and well-being. 

In our first twelve months as a CIO, we have: 

- Provided bespoke 121 financial inclusion interventions to 106 people in recovery from addiction and mental ill health. 

- 24 Weekly drop-in at the People’s Kitchen, offering financial advice and guidance to homeless individuals. We also took this work outside of the venue, doing follow up sessions for more complex cases. 

- 30 Weekly drop-in at George Street Social, seeing clients who attend 12-step fellowship meetings in the venue. We gave advice on benefits, debt, energy, and credit score improvement. 

- 16 Budgeting advice workshops to Oaktrees Day Rehab. We followed this up with 1 to 1 sessions where we gave advice on making their budget work for them. 

## **We learn about the difference our work is making by:** 

- Asking the people we work with about their experience of our services 

- Collecting and reviewing data about our activity 

- Collecting and reviewing data about the financial situations and outcomes for people we work with 

- Reflective practice and case reviews 

- We apply what we are learning*…… 

*Trustees have committed to enacting a Human Learning Systems approach which will integrate governance practices to enable Clean Slate to foster a culture of continuous learning and experimentation 

## **Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period** 

- Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services CIO has significantly improved its financial position, moving from a negative balance of -£2,720 to a positive balance of £9,315 

- Substantial increase in grant funding from £10,000 to £60,254 

- Independent Examination completed on 15 October 2024 

- No material matters of concern identified 

## **Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held** 

- Clean Slate is a newly constituted organisation. Trustees acknowledge their duties to act in the best interests of the organisation. 

- Trustees have determined a reserve policy of a minimum of 3 months operational turnover to be achieved by the end of the financial year 2025-2026. 

- Reserves will be built from unrestricted funds generated through donations, earned income and where possible efficiency savings. 

Page 4 



- Reserves are monitored regularly, and the policy reviewed annually by trustees in the charity's planning processes. 

## **Amount of reserves held** 

## £0 

## **Reasons for holding zero reserves** 

- The financial year 2023-2024 is the organisation's first financial year. 

- There have been limited opportunities to apply for grant funding in our first year due to the number of charitable foundations and trusts requiring the presentation of accounts to comply with due diligence. 

## **Details of fund materially in deficit** 

- The Unrestricted General Funds show a deficit of £3,557 at the end of the financial year. 

- This includes a 2021/2022 deficit of £2,720 which the CIO inherited from the CIC’s first year of operations. 

- The accounts show that the deficit has reduced from its original value of (£4,257) in 2021 - 2022. 

- Trustees are confident the action being taken will address this deficit through the generation of unrestricted income. 

- 2023-2024 financial statement shows a significant improvement in the CIO’s overall position (from - £2,720 to +£9,315) 

- The CIO has now secured two contracts which will generate unrestricted income to reduce the deficit in the financial year 2025-2026. 

- The first of these contracts started on 1/6/2024 and the second will commence on 1/8/2024. 

## **Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern** 

The current economic conditions are not just challenging – they're potentially devastating and not only for people in recovery. The North East of England already has the highest rates of child poverty in the country. 

The compounding effects of economic pressures create a cycle of vulnerability that becomes increasingly difficult to escape. We know that these economic pressures are creating a perfect storm of financial instability and risks long-term, potentially irreversible social and economic marginalisation. 

We are living in a time of increasing global uncertainty that the charity sector is not immune to the effects of. Clean Slate is no different to many other charitable organisations in that we rely heavily on foundation funding. We know that challenges being faced by those who award funding now mean: 

- Reduced grant allocations 

- Longer and more competitive funding application processes 

- Greater scrutiny of organisational sustainability and impact 

- Increased pressure to diversify funding streams 

Page 5 



For Clean Slate to survive we know that we need to demonstrate integrity, brave leadership, unprecedented strategic resilience and financial innovation.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services CIO** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Clean Slate Financial Wellbeing Services CIO for the period ended 31 July 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 can 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: 

- the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

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

Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line 

## **Freehold investment property**

Page 11

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure. 

## **Leased assets** 

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease. 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases. 

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets. 

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis. 

## **Pension costs** 

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.
