4 Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Why our work is needed

It is clear that the long-term impact of the pandemic is likely to create a widening of social and economic inequalities, impacting hardest those who are already the most disadvantaged. Increased food costs and energy bills will inevitably push more individuals and families into poverty, which makes it that much harder for people to achieve their full potential. We already know that some of the most vulnerable members of our society do not get the help and support they need in order to thrive, and so our work is more vital than ever before.

England and Wales has one of the highest rates of imprisonment in Western Europe, with 79,744�� court backlogs are tackled and the impact of the legislative changes which will send more �� and is predicted to reach 98,700 by September 2026. And yet we know that imprisonment �� the extended periods of isolation and inactivity resulting from the ongoing restricted regimes in prisons will be felt for years to come. We know that imprisonment often strips away those things which are most likely to support people to move on with their lives and away from crime: a job, somewhere to live, and support from family and community. And yet successive governments ��

Homelessness continues to be high. According to Shelter, 273,000 people were living in temporary accommodation, sleeping rough or in a hostel in England in December 2021. That ��126,000 children. We know that a lot of homelessness goes undocumented, �� even higher.

The Government’s ‘Everyone In’ scheme, the eviction ban, and the boost to Universal Credit played a vital role in reducing homelessness and keeping people in their homes during the pandemic. Now these protections have gone and living costs are spiralling, there is a risk that thousands of people will lose their homes. We need to move from constant crisis control and ensure that long-term and sustainable solutions are provided that prevent homelessness in the ��

�� needs are not being met. Too many young people are being held back from achieving their potential, unable to gain the skills that they need to achieve what they want with their lives – a situation that the pandemic has further exposed and exacerbated.

Much debate about education policy and post-COVID recovery has been focused on schoolage children. Less emphasis has been placed on the needs of 16–19 year olds and the ��

6 Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Message from the Chair

This has been another year of change, of challenges and unprecedented social upheaval for many of the most vulnerable in our society. One of the vitally important sources of assistance has been regular and friendly contact with a Nacro support worker or tutor, who have been focused on ensuring that they did everything they could to nourish and encourage them through the dark times, and to focus on the opportunities that can arise as things �� and continue to do. They are the essence of Nacro and the reason for its continuing success.

�� and partners to develop and agree a new Three Year Strategy for the organisation, which will be launched in the summer of 2022. It is a strategy which makes a clear choice to prioritise those we help and those that work for us. It has a clear focus on building on our strengths, delivering better outcomes for our service users and learners, making the case for change in the wider world and building a truly diverse and inclusive organisation with its service users and learners at the heart of everything it does.

�� Accommodation Service Tier-2 (CAS-2) contract from the Ministry of Justice in the face of strong competition. These are testament to the strong management and excellent outcomes that Nacro can deliver.

We have also made a real impact with our campaigning work, winning an increase in the discharge grant for people leaving prison and putting forward a powerful case to remove the barriers to learning many young people ��

After seven years, I have reached the end of my term as Chair of the Nacro Council of Trustees. It has been a real pleasure and an honour to serve some of the most disadvantaged people in our society through Nacro and �� is a sign of a good and decent society when everyone can reach their potential, and an ambition never to be forgotten. The support of a talented and committed Board has also been invaluable and a personally enriching experience working with so many talents.

I am delighted to welcome Professor Nick Hardwick as my replacement. We also welcome Amanda Dickens to the Council. It has been a privilege to be part of the Nacro family since 2015 and I know that I am leaving it with a clear strategy, a diverse and strong governing Council, �� alongside those who really do deserve that second chance.

Message from our CEO

“If you are still breathing” says Oprah Winfrey, “you have a second chance”. I can’t think of a better way to �� should not be judged, that corners can be turned, relationships repaired, homes and jobs found and kept, failed exams passed and that happiness should be available to all. Despite the ongoing turmoil caused by COVID, we have continued to deliver support and learning to some of the most vulnerable and excluded people in society and supported thousands of people to put their lives back on track.

We don’t stop there though. We have taken what we learned from these experiences and campaigned for real change, from an increase to the discharge grant for prisoners, to a major campaign to close the education �� systems, putting equality and diversity at the heart of everything we do and putting environmental sustainability at the core of our thinking. We are proud that this work is being recognised by partners and commissioners �� work in the reformed probation service.

�� Nigel Chapman. He has guided the Council and the organisation through some very challenging times with a focus, perspective and humour that leaves the organisation in a very much better place than when he joined.

Nacro has fewer than 1,000 owned homes so we are classed as a “small provider”. Nacro provides homes with additional support for housing vulnerable people and people leaving the criminal justice system on assured shorthold tenancies or licences.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which Nacro operates, �� Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Housing and Regeneration Act 2008, together with the Housing SORP.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some �� audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and �� the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

1 Legal Status

Nacro is a private company limited by guarantee under the Companies Act 2006, incorporated in England and is a registered housing provider and a registered charity. The address of its registered office is as disclosed on page 9 of the annual report.

2 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have been applied consistently throughout the year and to the preceding year.

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention on an accruals basis, modified to include certain items at fair value, in accordance with UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102) and the Housing SORP 2018: Statement of Recommended Practice for Registered Social Housing Providers and comply with the Accounting Direction for Private Registered Providers of Social Housing. Nacro is a public benefit entity, as defined in FRS 102 and applies the relevant �a�a��a�� ef��ed �PBE� �� FRS 102.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).

Going Concern

Nac�� b��e�� ac��e�, �� c��e�� f��a�c�a� �� a�d fac�� e�� affec� �� f��e development are set out within the Annual Report.

The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that Nacro has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months after the date on which the report and financial statements are signed. For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in the financial statements.

Turnover

Turnover represents rent and service charges receivable (net of rent and service charge losses from voids), grants from local authorities and charitable fees and donations.

Rental income is recognised on an accruals basis and recognised when the property is available for let, net of voids. Service charge income is recognised when expenditure is incurred as this is considered to be the point at which the service has been performed and the revenue recognition criteria met.

Grant income is recognised in the financial statements when the conditions for receipt of the grants have been fulfilled and Nacro becomes entitled to payment. Where a grant is received relating to a future accounting period, the Statement of Comprehensive Income shows the gross amount receivable reduced by the movement in the amount deferred to future accounting periods. Deferred grant income at the year end is included in creditors.

Charitable fees and donations are credited as income in the year in which they were receivable.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments which meet the criteria of a basic financial instrument as defined in Section 11 of FRS 102 are accounted for under an amortised historic cost model.

Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised historical cost.

�� Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

Where deferral of payment terms has been agreed at below market rate, and where material, the balance is shown at the present value, discounted at a market rate.

Creditors

Short term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Employee Benefits

Defined contribution scheme

Nacro participates in a defined contribution stakeholder scheme. Employer contributions payable to the scheme are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year. Differences between contributions payable in the year and contributions actually paid are shown as either accruals or prepayments in the Statement of Financial Position.

Defined benefit scheme.

The Nacro Staff Benefits Plan closed to new entrants from 1 December 1998 and for future accruals from 31 March 2006. The net interest cost on the net defined benefit liability is charged to revenue and included within finance costs. Re-measurement comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on scheme assets (excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability) are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income.

Defined benefit schemes are funded, with the assets of the scheme held separately from those of the company, in separate trustee administered funds. Pension scheme assets are measured at fair value and liabilities are measured on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method. The actuarial valuations are obtained triennially and are updated at each Statement of Financial Position date.

Housing properties

Housing properties are properties held for the provision of social housing or to otherwise provide social benefit. Housing properties are principally properties available for rent and are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes the cost of acquiring land and buildings, directly attributable development costs and interest charges incurred during the development period.

Depreciation is charged so as to write down the net book value of housing properties to their estimated residual value, on a straight line basis, over their useful economic lives. Depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition. Freehold land is not depreciated.

Major components of housing properties, which have significantly different patterns of consumption of economic benefits, are treated as separate assets and depreciated over their expected useful economic lives at the following annual rates:

Structure	80 years
Roofs	50 years
Windows	25 years
Kitchens	20 years
Bathrooms	30 years
Boilers	15 years
Heating systems	30 years
Electrics	30 years

4� Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

Properties held on long leases are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives or the lease duration if shorter.

Improvements

Where there are improvements to housing properties that are expected to provide incremental future benefits, these are capitalised and added to the carrying amount of the property. Any works to housing properties which neither replace a component nor result in an incremental future benefit are charged as expenditure in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Leaseholders

Where the rights and obligations for improving a housing property reside with the leaseholder or tenant, any works to improve such properties incurred by Nacro is recharged to the leaseholder and recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income along with the corresponding income from the leaseholder or tenant.

Donation or acquisition of land or other asset at below market value

Where a donation of land and/or other assets is received or land and/or other assets are acquired at below market value from a government source, this is accounted for as a nonmonetary government grant. The difference between the fair value of the asset donated or acquired and the consideration paid for the asset is recognised as a government grant and included in the Statement of Financial Position as a liability.

Where Nacro receives a donation of land and/or other assets or acquires such assets below their market value from a third party that does not meet the definition of a government source as set out in the Housing SORP, then the transaction is accounted for as a non-exchange transaction. The assets acquired are recognised in the statement of financial position at fair value. The income, equivalent to the difference between any amounts paid or payable for the assets and the fair value of the assets, is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as a donation when future performance-related conditions are met.

Assets held for sale

Assets held for sale consists of properties or other assets that are surplus to the requirement of the business and not held for use in the business.

Property assets held for sale are subject to a charity valuation by a qualified and experienced external surveyor and held at this value, any change in valuation is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Social Housing Grant and other Government grants

Government grants include grants receivable from government agencies such as Homes England, local authorities, devolved government agencies, health authorities and the European Commission. Government grants received for housing properties are recognised in income over the useful life of the housing property structure and, where applicable, its individual components (excluding land) under the accruals model.

Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the period in which related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate are recognised. Where a grant is receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support with no future related costs, it is recognised as revenue in the period in which it becomes receivable.

Grants due from government organisations or received in advance are included as current assets or liabilities.

4� Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

Government grants received for housing properties are subordinated to the repayment of loans by agreement with Homes England. Government grants released on sale of a property may be repayable but are normally available to be recycled and are credited to a Recycled Capital Grant Fund and included in the statement of financial position in creditors.

Other Grants

Grants received from non-government sources are recognised as revenue using the performance model.

Recycling of grants

Where there is a requirement to either repay or recycle a grant received for an asset that has been disposed of, a provision is included in the Statement of Financial Position to recognise this obligation as a liability. When approval is received from the funding body to use the grant for a specific development, the amount previously recognised as a provision for the recycling of the grant is reclassified as a creditor in the Statement of Financial Position.

On disposal of an asset for which government grant was received, if there is no obligation to repay the grant, any unamortised grant remaining within liabilities in the Statement of Financial Position related to this asset is derecognised as a liability and recognised as revenue in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Impairment of social housing properties

An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether an indicator of impairment exists. If such an indicator exists, an impairment assessment is carried out and an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made. Where the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Where assets are held for their service potential, value in use is determined by the present value of ��e a��e�� e�a�� e��ce ��e��a� �� e �e� a�� e��ec�ed �� be received from its disposal. Depreciated replacement cost is taken as a suitable measurement model.

An impairment loss is reversed if the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply and included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Other property, plant and equipment

Other property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is charged on all non-housing property, plant and equipment, other than investment properties and freehold land so as to write down the net book value to their residual value, on a straight line basis, over their useful economic lives, as follows:

Other Freehold premises	34 - 60 years
Freehold premises components	4�30 years
Leasehold land and buildings	5 years
Furniture, fixtures & fittings	4 years
Other equipment	4 years
Vehicles	4 - 10 years
Computer hardware	2 - 4 years

Other freehold premises are treated as housing properties which have different patterns of consumption of economic benefit and treated as separate assets. The same asset lives are used as for housing properties.

�� Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are stated at historic cost or valuation, less accumulated amortisation and any provision for impairment. Amortisation is charged to operating expenditure in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Amortisation is provided on all intangible assets at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of each asset on a straight-line basis over its expected useful life, as follows:

Computer software 3 - 4 years

Leases

An assessment is made at inception of an agreement that transfers the right to use assets. The assessment considers whether the arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement.

Operating leased assets

Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases.

Payments under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; it is probable the obligation will have to be settled; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value using a pre-tax discount rate. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period it arises.

Financial provision is made for the cost of annual leave accrued by employees as a result of services rendered in the current period, and which employees are entitled to carry forward and use within the next 12 months. The provision is measured at the salary cost payable for the period of absence.

Restricted reserves

Where reserves are subject to an external restriction they are separately recognised within reserves as a restricted reserve. Revenue and expenditure is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income and a transfer is made from the general reserve to the restricted reserve.

Significant management judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

�� Nacro Annual Report 2021/22

Nacro – NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

Significant management judgements

The following are management judgements in applying the accounting policies of Nacro that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Impairment of social housing properties

The Trustees have to make an assessment as to whether an indicator of impairment in value of social housing properties exists. In making the judgement, management consider the detailed criteria set out in the SORP. The conclusion of the Trustees is that there are no indicators of impairment.

Estimation uncertainty

Estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

Provisions

Provision is made for dilapidations. T�e�e �� e��e �a�a�e�e�� be�� e�� ate of the costs that will be incurred based on legislative and contractual requirements. In addition, the timing of the cash flows and the discount rates used to establish net present value of the �b��a�� e��e �a�a�e�e�� d�e�e��.

Recoverability of rent arrears

Nacro makes an estimate of the recoverable value of rent arrears. When assessing impairment of rent arrears, management consider factors including the ageing profile of the rental debtors and historical experience.

Defined benefit pension scheme

Nacro has obligations to pay pension benefits to certain employees and former employees. The cost of these benefits and the present value of the obligation depend on a number of factors, including; life expectancy, salary increases, asset valuations and the discount rate on corporate bonds. Based on advice received from Actuaries, management estimates these factors in determining the net pension obligation in the balance sheet. The assumptions reflect historical experience and current trends.

Useful lives of depreciable assets

Management reviews its estimates of the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date based on the expected utility of the assets. Uncertainties in these estimates relate to technological obsolescence that may change the utility of certain software and IT equipment and changes to decent homes standards which may require more frequent replacement of key components.

19 Retirement benefit schemes

Defined contribution scheme

Nacro operates defined contribution retirement benefit schemes for qualifying employees. The total expense charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period ended 31 March 2022 was £748,363 (2021: £590,880).

Defined benefit scheme

Characteristics and risks associated with the Plan

Nacro operates the Nacro Staff Benefits Plan ("the Plan"). The Plan provides pensions in retirement a�d dea�� be�ef�� e�be��. Pe�� be�ef�� a�e ��ed �� a �e�be�� f��a� �a�a�� a� �e��e�e�� and their length of service. Since 31 March 2006 the Plan has been closed to future accrual.

The Plan is a registered scheme under UK legislation and was contracted out of the State Second Pension until its closure.

The Plan is subject to the scheme funding requirements outlined in UK legislation.

The Plan was e��ab��ed f�� 31 Ma� 1986 ��de� �� a�d �� e��ed b� ��e P�a�� d definitive deed and rules dated 23 May 2011. The Trustees are responsible for the operation and ��e ��e��a�ce �f ��e P�a�, ��c��d�� a�� dec�� e�a�d�� e P�a�� f��d�� and investment strategy in conjunction with the Company.

U�de� c�a��e 21 �f ��e P�a�� d def��e deed a�d ��e� da�ed 23 Ma� 2011, ��e C��a�� does not have an unconditional right to a refund of any surplus in the Plan if the Plan winds up. However, since the Plan is in deficit, and this deficit exceeds the value of future contributions due under the current recovery plan, there is no additional liability recognised on the balance sheet as a �e�� f ��e P�a�� ec��e�� plan.

The Plan exposes the Company to actuarial risks such as; market (investment) risk, interest rate risk, inflation risks, currency risk and longevity risk.

The Plan does not expose the Company to any unusual Plan-specific or Company-specific risks.

No allowance has been made for any curtailment or settlement during the accounting period.

The Plan also holds annuity contracts in respect of the majority of pensions in payment which provide protection against future changes in respect of post retirement market risk, inflation risk and longevity risk in respect of these members.

T�e P�a�� -annuity investments include interest rate and inflation hedging. The Plan also holds a number of annuity policies which approximately match the majority of the pensions in payment.

The last scheme funding valuation of the Plan was as at 31 Ma�c� 2017 (��e 2017 �a��a��) a�d revealed a funding deficit of £16.0m. Under the current schedule of contributions, the Company has agreed to pay deficit reduction contributions of £300,000 per annum increasing to

£543,000 per annum on 1 April 2022 and thereafter increasing each 1 April by £150,000 per annum. The expenses of running the Plan, as well as statutory levies, are to be met directly by the Company. The Company has paid £900,000 in contributions in respect of the current accounting period.

The liabilities of the Plan are based on the current value of expected benefit payment cash-flows to members of the Plan over the next 50 years. The average duration of the liabilities is approximately 14 years.

The value of the liabilities at the reporting date have been estimated by updating the results of the 2017 valuation to allow for the passage of time, benefits paid out of the Plan and changes in actuarial assumptions over the period from 31 March 2017 to 31 March 2022. Allowance has also been made for actual inflation experience and known transfers out and trivial commutations over the period. Such an approach is common for the purposes of accounting disclosures. It is not expected that these projections will be materially different from a summation of individual calculations at the accounting date, although there may be some discrepancy between the actual liabilities for the Plan at the accounting date and those included in the disclosures.

Principal Actuarial Assumptions

A full actuarial valuation of the Plan was carried out as at 31 March 2017 and has been updated to 31 March 2022 by a qualified actuary. The major assumptions used by the actuary were (in nominal terms) as follows
