During the year. our back office and central funth.ons adapted to intense dwnands in addition to continuing to

scenes had a very demanding year. Despile this. everyone has pulled together and gone the extra rnile. and this
is recognised and applauded.
b. Main a¢hie¥ements of the charlty
Over the past year. Step One worked with over 800 pwle across our w*le range of $pe¢iali$t provision in
Devon which included prowding 30.(M)O hours of communty support care and 5,000 bed nights for ils
commissioned aeute eare al Cypress ar￿ Granvue.
Cypress Hospital and Granvue Crisis House
During the year the priority for this seivice has been lo continue to delivei high Standards of support and ongoing
provision of hospital beds and this has been ach*ved. As a result of COV1[￿19 and in Grder to safeguard
adequate and consistent staffing for this service. it was ￿reed with commissioners that al the beginning of the
year that we would operate bel(r•V our nomal capacity. From July, Cypress gradualty opened the designated
isolation beds as planned lo agaln funth.on as 8 144￿1 serwce. However due to continual stafl shortages
used by COVID this meant having lo dose to admissins on occash)n.
In April we linke<l wilh Ptymouth Univwsty to develop 8 Nursing Apprenticeship opportunty for Slep One support
workers, The scheme is delivered over a four-year perKxJ requiring the student to work at Cypress and attend
University three days a week. This is a govemment support scheme and as such has minimal cost lo the charity.
This resulted in the charty bw'ng able lo offer an opportunty for one of rts current members of staff.
Whilst there is no major issue with recruitrnent of stsff al Cypress, recruilmenl of menlal heatth nurses IRMNSI,
when required. wll be an ongoing challenge. The 'gr¢>4¥ our own. approach started in 2017 is now developing a
steady pipeline of newty qualif*d RMNS through intemal sponscAsfip.
(ill Support Lmng and Communjty Support
This service ContinL￿d to delw supp)rt during the year desprte the thkdown thr￿gh either f8ce-to-fa
support or telephone, according to indivKlual client preference. Communty services has however struggled al
times during the year to achieve activty targets to due 10 staff shortages caused by COVID and staff
vacancies where recruilmenl remains a challenge to this servKe. Our new HR Manager has been working
closely wth this team alongside our wnmuni¢ations staff and recrurtment srtes lo improve our advertising
approach. In September a new salary banding was intrLxJuced lo the support worker ro￿ where il was hoped this
would also help address cr*Kal wruitment chaI￿ngeS.
During the year and in antic￿oI10n of Ihe need lo salary. the team have been working through more than
100 individual contracts wrth Devon County Council to align each to our current ceiliro hourly rate. To this end,
our Manager for Community serVi￿S. has worked ext￿fflety hard to get comrnissioners to ag￿e to uplift all 120
clients to the required hourty rate.
A business case to invest up to a maxirThJm of £1 million for the purchase of an additional supported living house
was approved by the Board in December. Folbwing vlewings. an offer has been accepted for a large 6
bedroorned property in Exeter.
The property is *Jeal to seM¢e requirernenls with axisting HMO status,
detached on a large pkjt. parking arKI vrilhin a short distan￿ to our other house on Monks Road. This offer was
subject lo the usual purch85ing condilKy￿ and specifically a requirement for an unoccupied property at
exchange. With all these conditions having been met we were ab￿ to exchange contracts in June 2022. With an
existing warting ILSt for acc(Mnmodation support. our Manajer for CO￿nunIty Services and her team remain

The NHS HOPE course is proving lo be one of our more popular courses and a second m8mber of the team is

fundraising largels have been achieved. In adrtKJn to suecessfulty making new grant applicalTrons. we also
began to work on ccfflmunty fundraising.
(vi} Beaufort House
The Board had previousty in 2019 considered fvjture options regarding rt$ headquartets building Beaulort House.
At that lime due lo the rental income it generated for the Chanty. rt was decrded that Beaufort House should
retsined as an investment propety. Hawng made the decision rt was an1￿1pated that the Tenting out of vacant
space to third parties would be sufficient to generate a sKJnrficant and suslainabie operating surplus for the
foreseeable futu￿. H¢y•vever, whilst this inrtl￿￿ has proven to be the case. recently more difficult market
conditions bioughl about by the impact of COV1[￿19 h85 made the letting of va¢ant space in¢reasingly difficult.
As a result. some tenants have already left or sefftd not to rene* their tenancy. wrth no imrned￿e
prospect of being able lo vacant space.
During 2021 the Board explored various cptions regardiThJ future cwnetship of the propety, and it was finally
decided that Beaufort House should be marketed for sale in the early part of 2022. A number of competitive
offers were recgNed, and lem)$ have eventualty been agreed wrth a preferred purchaser for a sale Pfice of
£3.550m. Following necessary due diligence Fndu¢Jing compliance wrth the Chariles Act. contracts for the sale
were exchanged in August 2022.

a. Golng concern
After making appropriate enquiries. the Trustees have a reasonabk expectation that the company has adequate
resources lo ¢onlinue in operalKJnal existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt
Ihe going concern basis in preparing the financ￿1 slalements. Further details regaiding the •Jcption of the going
concem basis can be found in the acrountng policies.
b. Reserves poli
In 8oard's view. a minimum level of unrestn.cted reseNes shoubj be maintsined to provide adequate financial
stability and the means fof rt lo meet rts charrtable objects.ves for the foreseeable fulure. The Board reviews the
adequacy of reseNes required al least on an annual basis and receives financral inf¢ymation on a regular basis
to allow them to monitor the like￿ W￿Vement on reserves in any given year.
The Board proposes to maintain general unrestitted reserves at a knl whith 1$ at leasl equlva￿nt lo six
months, operational expenditure. plus redurKlancy prowS￿n. The current target level of reserves ha5 been set at
£2.021m and at the ye8r*nd the Charrty hekl a ba￿nce of £3.552m comprising of a general tree reserve of
£2.269m and £1.283m in respect of an unrealised investment revaluation.
The 8oard are also obhged to des•3nate fundirvj to offset pension li*)ilrt*s as assessed by the Foundation,
actuary. The designated reserve should match the amounts held in the escrtyw account that cover the pension
scheme funding deficit and any amounts due under the Cur￿nt schedule of contributions. The escrow account
fund had a balance of £1.5m al year end and the pension contribulion commitments fund was £18k. making a
lolal of £1.5m deS￿nated for pension liabilities.

c. Financial Review
The year-end accounts show a total income of £3.254m. which is a decrease of £61 k fiom 2021. The total
income fof the year also reflects income from ongoing CCT activilies. CCT aclivities are shown within the
restricted fvnds of Ihe group. Total expendrture for the year was £3.100m for the group compared lo £3.595m in
2021. The net inc(NY*llexpendilure) before investments and pensions are t*en into account were £153k
compared lo £1281lk expendrture in 2021.
The investments of the Chairty are held in 2 separatety mana3ed portfclios thal are balanced in Lvder to maintain
potentBI for lon9er term growth in capital value. bLtrt wh￿h also for funds to be withdrawn at short notice
should the need arise. The investment perforniance reflected market conditions and a nel gain of £595k on the
investment valuation is recognised. compared to a gain of £1.979m in 2021 {refie¢ting a large recovery of
financh?I markets following COVIDI. The net movement in funds before adiusknènts foi pensions iy a gain of
£1.242m compared to a gain of £1.699m in 2021.
The annual update of the pension scheme for March 2022 showed an increase in the value of the scheme
assets by £1.164m to £27.043m as the beneffts PaKI were less than the contribution5 made by Step One and the
investment relums. The present value ol the seherne liab11rt￿ ha5 also decreased by £4.271m to £22.747m as
the benefrts paKI and a¢tuanal gain have exceeded the increased c0515. The charity has an unTec¢>Jni5ed
surplus of £4.296m in resped of rts defined benefft pension scheme compared to a deficit of £1.161m in 2021.
However, in line wth ¥¢ounling disclosures ¢ontsined within the FRS 102 year*nd pension report, the
recognised as5els have been restn¢ted to the vJue of the deflned benefft obligat￿n onty. meaning Ihis surplus is
not recognised as a gain within the c￿so11d0ted statement of finanoal xtivié￿s for 2021-22. In temis of the
year-end aecounls there is a r￿atNe penS￿n movement of £2.165m that takes into account the In￿aSed
employer pension contributson paJTnent 01 £2.707m that was m* lo the pension fund.
Taking all of the above into account resLth in an overall nel reduction of funds for the group of £921k, wilh total
funds ¢arrie(I forward of £12.895m at the year end. Of this. a total of £8.695m is designaled for specific
wrposes. and general unreslllcted funds including the unrealised investment revaluation, sland at £3.552m.
The impact of the Covpj 19 virus pandemic continL￿d as a business entieal risk last year and presented the
charity with an enormous range of issues lo ¢onskler as il continued lo deliver services. Towards the end of last
year, rt also became apparent that challenging operating conditions woukj continue particularly regarding the
inflationary impxl on procuring goc¥Js and services. The budget approved for next year has planned an
operating defficil of £232k but contained proposaLs to reduce the deficrt in future years and lo move towards a
break even position. Several actions have therefore atready commerbced wth the intention of reducing the
ongoing deficrt a5 follows'.-

Our audft procedures were desKJned lo respond to risks of material misstatement in the financsal slalements,
recognising that the risk of not deteeting a m*erial misstslement due to fraud is higher than the risk of nol
detecting one iesuhing from an error, as fraud may invO￿e deliberate concealment by, for example. forgery,
misrepresenlalions or through collusion. There a￿ inherent limitation$ in the audit procedu￿$ perfomed and the
