Newham Communlty Renewal Programme Trustees. annual report For the year ended 31 March 2022 ormance We use a cloud based monitoring and evaluation system called UPSHOT across the charity to better capture and evidence the impact of our work.

In addition to UPSHOT we have also implemented a specialist system for our supported housing project called InForm which provides tenancy management. rent5 and rent schedu les, health and safety checks. maintenance jobs and repairs and case management functionality. In otheon oln If ever there was a time ro step-up and support the Newham community. 2021-2022 has been that year. Like many organi5ations operating in the wake of the pandemic we continued to experience service disruptions due to the turbulent effects of covid-19. We are however very proud to report that we continued to deliver all. and indeed grow some of our services throughout the pandemic. The pandemic has seen changes to the way many of our services are delivered, however we feel this has put us in a stronger position as we have developed a more agile and flexible seiCe offering. After the extended lockdown periods at the onset of the pandemic, 2021122 saw the re-opening of many of our face-to-face services, and certainly through the summer of 2021 we experienced a period of approaching what could be called normality, with all covid-19 restrictions lifted in July. The rollout of the covid-19 vaccination programme in 2021 also gave us encouragement that there was light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, however this did not prove to be the case through the winter period. The resurgence of the Covid-19 omicron varianr towards the end of 2021 led to a further extended period of restrictions and lockdown, and with Newham continuing ro be in the eye of che covid srorm. together with being one of the lowest vaccine uptake areas. it continued to be an incredibly difficult time for our communities. As with our proactive response at the outset of the pandemic. our continued focus through this financial year was to invest in the needs of our surrounding communities. the evidence of which can be read in these following pages. A strong aspect of our work was ro play an active role in ensuring everyone in the community knew how to stay safe and had acces5 to the support available locally. This included distributing free personal protective equipment. covid-19 lateral flow tests and advocating for as many staff. volunteers and residents as possible to take up the vaccine offer. We also continued to administer 3 small micro-grants programme funded by the local authority to help vulnerable residents self-isolate when impacted by the virus. covid- I In terms of learning through this period. we have found that local organisations and networks at the fore-front of tangible support for local communities in times of crisis are so important. For example ihrou9h this covid period we have been able to work alongside and supporE Statutory authorities to reach deeper into communiries with complex, ever-changing advice and guidance. not Just on COVID-19 safety, but mental health, money advice, food insecurity and many other things. The importance of partnership working has been paramount, and we have been able to strengthen our relationships with many local organisations and statutory providers. We have
Newham Community Renewal Programme TNstees' annual report For the year ended 31 March 2022 worked closely with Newham Council. other voluntary sector organisations, local businesses and the NHS in ensuring that our services are part of a borough-wide strategic response to the pandemic. This has included for example our participation with local umbrella organisations Compost London and One Newham, as well as involvement in a number of strategic themed collaborations such as Newham Food Alliance and Newham anti-poverty alliance. As a Newham focussed community organisation of 50 years standing. we feel our deep roots have enabled us to respond effectively as a trusted and familiar service provider. A significant proportion of our staff are Newham based, contributing positively 10 the economy and environmental footprint of the borough. We have also learnt much about ourselves and OLtr communitie5. During tough times people and organisations can be resilient we have witnessed this across the board with people responding with community spirit and incredible generosity in caring for friends. neighbours and strangers. ortln Staff and voluntee 21 22 Any organisation is only as impactful as its staff and volunteer teams, and the pandemic has certainly brought out the best in our committed teams.

ThroLtgh the continuing course of the pandemic. our teams have been affected in differing ways, with working patterns and locations disrupted from time to time, although less so than the previous year. Staff energy levels. morale and wellbeing have continued to be tested again through 2021-22. Through this period we have increased sUPPOrt for staff and volunteers in a number of ways. including providing regular covid testing and vaccinations. laptops and phones where needed, increased communications via regular (eam, 1-2-1 suppori meetings and a staff WharsApp group and offering free counselling and access to techlcycle salary sacrifice schemes.

In preparing the financial statements. the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters relaied to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either inrend ro liquidate the charitable company or ro cease operations. or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are io obtain reasonable assurance about whether the finaficial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor'5 report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS (UK} will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with law5 and regulations. We design procedures in line with our re5ponslbllitles, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregu larities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are set out below. Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularitles, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, oijr procedures included the following.. We enquired of management and the board of trustees, which included obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation, concerning the charity's policies and procedures relating to.. Identifying, evaluating, and complylng wlth laws and regulatlons and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance., Detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual. suspected. or alleged fraud.. 32
Independent audltors, report To the members of Newham Community Renewal Programme The internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non- compliance with laws and regulations. We inspected the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework that the charity operates in, focusing on (hose laws and regulations that had a material effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the charity from our professional and sector experience. We communicated applicable laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We reviewed any reports made to regulators. We reviewed the financial statement disclosures and tested these to 5UPPOrting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material mlsstatement due to fraud. In addressin9 the risk of fraud through management override of controls, we tested the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments. assessed whether the Judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential blas and tested significant transactions that are unusual or those outside the normal course of business. Because of the Inherent Ilmltatlons of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leadlng to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statement5. as we will be le55 likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is als0 greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud Involves intentional concealment, forgery, colluslon, omlsslon or m15representation.
