Our skills can be applied to all ages and abilities and our service can be beneficial to vulnerable individuals from all walks of life. Each area of OPENhouse works carefully to refine their practice to achieve a careful balance between growing the organisation and not dilLrting the high quality of service delivery or OPENhouse's Misslon.

Income The Charity continues to benefit from its property portfolio with Commercial leases, and Hall hire contributing £75,087, this is slightly increased due to rent review and higher occupancy of hall.

Page 7

SHIRE TRAINING WORKSHOPS UMITED TRADING A5 OPENHOUSE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES forthe Year Ended 31 March 2025 Organisatlonal Review The most significant challenge for OPENhouse this reporting year h35 been the retention of existing staff due to the Government increase in the national minimum wage. Outsourcing operational functions including HR, H&S and IT allows u5 to access skills and expertise that would be cost prohibitive in house. The finance function has been bought back in house due to needing an in-depth understanding of the charity and proactivity with regards to service user debt management. The main challenges facing loc31 authorities and service providers includes. reduced funding from central government, an ageing population with more complex needs, increasing demand for services including mental health, addiction and complex needs and recruiting qualsty staff with the right skills and expertise. All these challenges are placing considerable pressure on the local authority. the NHS and social care finances. Community Support is suffering from staffing shortages and reduced funding which in turn increases the pressure on in-house support provision. Page 8

SHIRE TRAINING WORKSHOPS LIMITED TRADING AS OPENHOUSE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2025 srRucfuRE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Strategic Direction Focus on our Stroud based work with vulnerable people, particularly the entrenched rough sleeper cohort. Ensure our vision and values are evident in everyday working practice and procedure. Agree a new strate8ic direction for OPENhouse in light of local changes and need. Build key relationships with the County. District and Town Councll and organisations that support our work and align to our values. Develop new digital frameworks to help staff carry out their day to day work more efficiently. Better utllise our website and social media to educate and promote our work. Improve staff training and development opportunities to ensure employees feel well equipped and prepared to deliver an excellent high-quality 5UPPOrt service. Partner with or8anisations to help us improve our offer to Staff and Clients. Ensure OPENhouse is financially sustainable for the future. Risk Strategy The charity's most significant financlal risk is protecting present and future sources of income and its resources, followed c105ely by control of the processes for paying the organisation's liabilities. As the current cohort of residents has changed to a more chaotic entrenched client base we are at an elevated risk of increased debtors and room damage. Procedures and processes have been amended to include tighter screening to mitigate risk. Optimal staff numbers means consequently fewer individuals hold more knowledge. To reduce operational risk, outsourcing key operational functions such as accounts, IT and HR reduces the risk of interruption to service delivery should key staff members leave the organisation.
