**THE 3H FOUNDATION YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purposes of the Companies Act, submit their annual report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

Legal and administrative information set out on the previous page forms part of this report. 

## **MISSION STATEMENT** 

_‘To provide holidays, short breaks and activities for adults and children with disabilities, and periods of respite for carers.’_ 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

The objectives of the charity are: 

1) To provide relief for children and adults with disabilities by organizing short breaks away, with other, enabling at the same time the regular carers to have a period of respite. 

2) To provide financial assistance for families with a family member(s) who have physical or mental disabilities and who are on low incomes to get a modest UK holiday break with their family and/or carers. 

- 3) To communicate with people with disabilities and young carers in their own homes by way of sending respite hampers and challenges to stimulate into their lives. 

4) To help preserve the health and well-being of people who are caring for those with disabilities, to get a short period of respite in a relaxing environment. 

## **Patron** 

The Trustees are delighted to have Dr Karen Darke MBE as a patron. She was a Paralympic gold medal winner at the Rio games in 2016 and her experience and enthusiasm in the world of disability is well-known. This is what she says about 3H: 

“The 3H Foundation continues to build on its success over the past five decades and has evolved and adapted its work empowering those with disabilities and supporting their families and carers. They are a small charity performing mighty work – keep it up 3H!“ 

## **Review of 2021** 

2021 has been a year of substantial progress consolidating the reorganisation of the charity during COVID and extending diversity of the approach to reach and support a wider community of those in need. 

## **Activity Holiday Programme** 

These holidays have been at the heart of what 3H does and has been doing since it started in 1975. For 2022 two group holidays have been organised – one an activity holiday in South Wales, the other a sailing holiday on the East Coast. In 2023, we hope to be able to expand this considerably. 

## **Holiday Grant Programme** 

When the pandemic was at its height, the 3H office did an extraordinary job in helping people who, through our Grant Programme, had booked holidays but were uncertain about getting away to unknown places. To these families on low incomes with disabled family members, Covid hit them really hard, but it was so rewarding for them and for us to be able to award 159 grants which allowed over 650 people to get away and enjoy a holiday together. This was almost double the number from the previous year. So huge credit goes to the staff for their perseverance in making it happen – often having to change venues and dates several times during the process.

**THE 3H FOUNDATION YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **Carers Support Programme** 

We are fortunate to have a fabulous venue, Ashdown Park Hotel and Leisure Centre in East Sussex where we organise, through our Carer Support Programme along with a caring organisation, for carers of disabled people to enjoy a spa day with lunch and afternoon tea, and a treatment within the leisure Centre. This is an important break for them, getting away from the constant challenges they face on a day-to-day basis. Since the hotel reopened at the end of 2021, we have already helped thirty-six carers to get some time away. There are over seven million carers in the UK who need a break from time to time and a short period away is a vital ingredient to help their mental well-being. 

Supplying carer hampers for those in need throughout the country has proved to be hugely successful - conceived by the 3H office during the pandemic and has been expanded by working with community groups and caring organisations to help many more during the coming year. Individuals were nominated by others to receive the gifts, and this has greatly widened the circle of people we deal with in the caring sector. 

This has now been added to the number of effective ways we are adapting to meet the needs of those who need support. 

## **TeensPLUS Programme** 

Having identified the number of teenagers with disabilities and those youngsters who care for others, 3H created a TeensPLUS Programme where we provide activities at home and away, and work with schools across the country to arrange funded activities and day trips out. Young carers can get time away from the stresses of everyday life with visits to theatres, forest parks and cinemas. Working with specialist schools and youth groups, whose pupils are disabled or who have learning difficulties has been very successful, with over 250 being helped in many ways during the difficult year. 

As with the Carer Support programme we also supplied challenge packs for those with disabilities and young carers and young carer hampers via TeensPLUS. This again proved extremely successful and well received. Setting the challenges stimulates and helps with mental stress and, is also some fun at the same time. 

## **Outreach** 

With all our programmes we try to ensure a national reach as best as we possibly can, whether physically or virtually. We meet and reach out to organisations across the country to make them aware of our services. We have done this work within our Carer Support and TeensPLUS hampers, and our TeensPLUS challenge packs. Our Carer Support Spa Days are arranged at Ashdown Park Hotel which is local to those carers being invited. This Spa Programme will be expanded to include more areas in the future. Covid has restricted our presence at some functions and seminars during 2021 but we hope to attend more during 2022 and beyond. 

## **Social Media** 

We continue to be very pro-active on the social media front building up large numbers of followers and getting our message across to a wide spectrum of people. It is also useful to keep in touch with our guest and volunteers, past and present. 

## **Trusts and Corporate Fundraising** 

Whilst opportunities with businesses and trusts have been greatly reduced due to the current problems with the Covid pandemic, we were grateful for the level of funding support in 2021. We were delighted to be chosen by Psigma as one of their three selected charities for their ‘Charity of the Year’ and this will continue during 2022. We continue to receive donations thanks to the efforts of the fundraising team, and 2021 was a healthy one in that respect. We are grateful to those organisations, trusts and livery companies, including the Wheelwrights, Drapers and the Skinners’ Companies who support our work. Organised events such as golf days which have in the past been an important source of income have mostly been cancelled, but we were grateful to Sweetwoods Golf Course and Club near East Grinstead to be nominated as their ‘Charity of the Year’ for 2021/22.

**THE 3H FOUNDATION YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

As circumstances in the charitable sector continue to improve, we will be looking forward to reactivating this very important link to our business connections. 

## **Rebranding** 

The Trustees and staff agreed during 2020/21 that the charity should reflect how 3H has evolved and transformed over the decades. 

‘3H - Helping Hands for Holidays’ was created almost fifty years ago, but today as our brief now extends much wider in disability than just holidays. However, 3H was still regarded as an important part of our identity, so our future lies as ‘The 3H Foundation’. 

The exercise was carried out at no cost to the charity – with trustee and staff involvement. 

‘Putting ability into disability’ is our strapline and that is our raison d'être! 

## **Public benefit** 

The Trustees have regards to the guidance issues laid down by the Charities Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charitable company’s objectives and planning future activities. Applications to the charity are open to all who meet the eligibility criteria. Holidays and outings for our guests, carers and grant applications are a lifeline to help them cope with the difficulties and stresses of their everyday lives. In current times, this is more important than ever. 

## **Financial Review** 

2021 continued to be a challenging year for the charity with Covid-19 disrupting many of our activities. We have sought to maximise opportunities and new initiatives to benefit as many people as possible as outlined earlier in this report. We have been grateful for the support of our donors. We have reviewed expenditure, and the Landlord maintained the reduction of the term of the lease from 3-year breaks to a rolling 12-month lease in 2021. With careful cashflow management and opportune fundraising strategies we ended the year with a surplus of £54,482 (2020: £8,454). This is funds that will be supporting our beneficiaries in 2022. 

## **Investment Policy and Objectives** 

3H operates a low-risk attitude towards investment whilst looking for reasonable returns. The trustees are satisfied with the performance of investments in the year under review. 

## **Reserves** 

We are susceptible to financial market conditions, so it is the aim of the trustees to endeavour to hold reserves equal to the restricted funds, operating costs and commitments for a six-month period, plus an additional amount to accommodate lease commitments and variations. This is in the region of £100,000 - £130,000. Our unrestricted free reserves, that is unrestricted reserves excluding those represented by tangible fixed assets and designated funds, amounted to £72,217 (2020: £56,490) at the balance sheet date. 

## **THE FUTURE** 

## **Activity Holidays Programme** 

It is good news that the holidays for our young adults with disabilities will be restarting this year, 2022. An activity holiday where guests can go skiing, ride the speedboat safari and have a go at archery will take place in the summer at a tailor-made residential Centre in South Wales. In addition, a seven-night sailing holiday for twelve teenagers with four carers has been arranged with the Cirdan Sailing Trust who are based at Ipswich in East Anglia. More activity holidays are planned for 2023.

**THE 3H FOUNDATION YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **Holiday Grant Programme** 

Our Holiday Grant Programme is vital for families on low incomes with a disabled member to get a break away together as a family unit. In normal times the stress and strain of living with disability is hard, but during the pandemic it was infinitely worse. So it was really pleasing to be able to help so many people get away from the confinement of their surroundings. We fully expect the demand in the coming twelve months to be considerable, so our fundraising efforts specifically for this Grant Programme are fully focused to be able to help the maximum number of people. Some donors request that their funds are restricted to help people according to their wishes, and this the charity totally respects. 

## **Carer Support Programme** 

We will continue to work with carer organisations in the south-east, and more recently elsewhere in the country, to organise ‘Pamper Day’ breaks for carers as well as sending out Carer Hampers to those who cannot leave those they care for. At Ashdown Park Hotel, carers come and spend a day relaxing in the spa where they receive a treatment and the use of the spa’s facilities, enjoy lunch and afternoon tea, and go home refreshed ready to take up the next challenge with their batteries recharged. 

## **TeensPLUS Programme** 

Through our TeensPLUS programme, we are continuing to work with schools who look after children with disabilities and/or learning difficulties, enabling them to enjoy days out in groups to visit theatres or events in rural or urban situations. One concept which has proved very popular with teenagers with disabilities is to engage, support and entertain them by providing challenge packs delivered to their door which aims to support the development of life skills. During the pandemic, many of these teenagers have suffered from mental issues and these packs brought much-needed relief to their lives. 

## **Carer Support and TeensPLUS - Activity Hampers** 

Adult and young carers also get help and support by way of activity hampers full of respite gifts. We work with caring organisations to identify those who would benefit from recognition of the wonderful work they do supporting their loved ones and 3H have helped many carers in need. 

The idea of sending a hamper came into being during the Covid restrictions, when the ability to be able to help disabled, people became almost impossible. The 3H office came up with the idea of getting hampers to those in their own homes – which included not just food items but also games and competitions which would help their days to have added interest and excitement. This proved very successful to the point that 3H are now working with community groups and carer organisations across the country to make these available to more and more people. Nominations come via lead organisations and will be available for both adult and teenager carers. 

## **Summary** 

We do and will continue to liaise with other charitable organisations and community groups, schools and health professionals in order to offer the best possible help to our beneficiaries, now and in the future.

At the annual Strategic Planning Meeting, the Trustees approve policies to be pursued during the coming year in terms of Group Holidays, the Grant Programme, the TeensPLUS Programme, the Carers Support Programme, the Hamper and Challenge Packs and avenues for fundraising. 

During 2021 Jane Davy the Charity Manager left 3H to pursue other opportunities and we were grateful for her contribution.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE 3H FOUNDATION** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of 3H Fund (Helping Hands for Holidays) for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination and I can confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act: or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered  as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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 and in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Stephen Clark - Chairman** 

Company number: 1690253

## **THE 3H FOUNDATION** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 STATUS** 

The 3H Foundation is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England & Wales. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the Trustees' Report. 

## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (Effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

The 3H Foundation meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

On 8 September 2021 the charity changed its name from 3H Fund (Helping Hands for Holidays) to the 3H Foundation. 

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue, and so the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted. 

The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and rounded to the nearest £1. 

## **Income** 

Donations and grants are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the funds have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations this is usually on receipt. For grants this is usually when a formal offer is made in writing, unless the grant contains terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds. 

Income from legacies is recognised when there has been a grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the charity's control or have been met. 

Holiday contributions represent the proportion of holiday costs recovered directly from the individual holidaymakers and carers; these are recognised when the holiday takes place. 

11 



**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **THE 3H FOUNDATION** 

## **2 ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued** 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer resources to a third party, settlement is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Expenditure is stated gross of irrecoverable VAT and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Grants payable are accounted for when the grant has been promised in writing to the recipient. 

Staff costs are allocated across fundraising, the four charitable activities and administrative activities undertaken by the charity on the basis of staff time. Support costs are allocated to charitable activities on the basis of direct costs and staff costs. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial instruments which are classified as basic financial instruments. Short-term debtors and creditors are measured at the settlement value. Any losses from impairment are recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for the particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds which are set aside by the trustees from time to time for specific purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated realisable value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment: 25% on cost 

## **Investments** 

Investments held within CAF investment funds are stated at market value. All movements in valuation are taken to the statement of financial activities. 

## **Pension scheme** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for its employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. The pension cost represents contributions payable by the charity to the fund. 

## **Leasing** 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged against income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
