THE HOXTON TRUST CHAIR'S STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 am delighted ttr inlroduce The Hoxlon TrustAnnual Report for the financial year 2023124. 11 has been another very busy year with our legal advice Service often lull, our beautiful garden opening for longer, the popular ¢venls wo OCg8nisè b@corning established and our health and wellbeEng aclivib'es developing apace. Th8 Hoxlon Trust was registered as a charity ot7 May 18, 1984. Thmugh this yeai we have been enjoying a series ol anniversary events lo celebrale our 40lh anniversary and look forward to ovr successful future. Thank you Fiislly, let me lake this opportunity lo Ihank all staff and volunteers al the Trust. I continue lo be blown away by the professionalism, kindngss and empathy everyone shows in every contact with our clients and the wider community. The sheer volume of high-quality work the Trust team achieves is truly amazing. Together you make a real difference-, a positive impact on so many people's lives and wellbeing. The one overrldlng laclor impa¢llng us and the community we serve over the last twelve months has been the cost- ol-living crisis, a conlinualion f¥om 18sI yeai. More and more local people have accessed our free legal advice s¢tvice- anxious, woiiied and in somc cascs fttghl¢nod about the situation they are in. The cost of gas and electric has soared.. lood cosls, especially essentials have risen sh(iiply whilst IncomB, whtrlher from work or frorn welfare payments has hardly gone up. Our moniloring tell8 us Ihal while we have had a great impaGt on people's lives there is only so much we can do and, worse, the underlying Irends do nol seetn to be itnpioving any lime soon. I pay credit to the work of the Legal Advice Sejvice leam.. Margaret Laudei who has worked wilh us lor over 30 yecll5. Clarissa Trevor who now has 15 yeals with the Trust and our newe$l membei of the team Abbas Kaplai. whD we welcotned thi5 year. One of our respDn585 to th8 seiious cha118ng85 affecting our community has been a pilot mental health and woll- being project based on gardèning. Thi5 enabled tjs lo try out some new organised activities Éind has been huge successful thanks to the skills and hard wo(k of our Community Gardener, Stephen fviason and thE Gaiden Manager, Max M350n. The Board arbd I look lorward lo this area of work being developed furlher. buitding on this posilive and well-receNed initiative. As well as the impacl on the work we do, the cost-of-living crisis impacts on our own ability to dellver. Our running costs not just gas and electric, bLtrI all our supplies have risen much faslei Ihan our ir>cotne. We are being squeezed and while I have full ¢onfiden¢e in Paul Fleming our Executive Director to tnanage costs and socure increased income for the Trust, I know just how uncomfortable the situalion is riuhl now. We absolutely undersland Ihe slress and anxiety fell across our community because we feel il too! Income and Expendlturp In¢ome sn the period w8s £194,370 lup from £189,377 in 20221231. Much ol our incotne is secured through charilable grants. This year our grant income includes support of £31,470 from City Bridge, the Iirkal year of a Ihree- year grant Ihal oovers 50ffle of the costs ol delNering a free legal advice service from our oftic&s on Hoxlon Street. This allows us lo suppcirt len new Clients every week, in addition to our existing case load.

THE HOXTON TRUST CHAIR'S STATEMENT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 metrics which were welcomed by the (under and we are now in a strong po811ion lo develop this strand of WO with greater confidence. Thal satd, we cannot commit any expenditure wilhoul secuiing funding fiisl,. the Board and l are lear that we rnustn'l lose sight Df the colè principle of charity managemenl - doii'l spend more m(bney than you have secured. We are fortunate to gènerate rental income from propertie8. £69,3481£70.137 in 20221231. We are aware thal we need to update our approach as a landlord in line with Ihe local pioperty matkel. to illclude a more regLJlar review of our rtsntal contracts. Our most iecent rent review in 2020 coincided wilh the pandemie and as a board we did what we eould to support our Icnanls financialty through that crisis. We look back with piide al thos8 decisions, they were Ihg iighl ones, but tl)ey came with a financial hil which is having an impact on ciur aGcounls, which rnust now be addressod far the sake ol the Twst's financtal restlienc6. Expendilufe in the period was £202.888 Idown from £205,117 in 20221231. 75% of our expenditure is staff and volunteers. So. whÈle we continue to examine the cost ba8c ar)d sliNe for efficiencie5. we are also realistic. We know that most if not all pos51ble efficiency savings have already been made and we are left with very narrow m8rgiris. The challenge lor small communÈly-based charities like the Hoxton Twst is long lerrll suslainabilily. I pay enoirnou5 credit lo Paul Fletning our F.xecutive Director in 8chiÈving fundraising success, yoar aftcr ycar. For example, the funding from National Loltery was hard won and meant we helped tnore peuple ialher than havir)g lo Cul back and help lewer, but I know just how difficult fundraising is. Al every bDard tneeting we review the riskq lo th& organisation and every time, short term funding Ilhis financial year and nexll and medium to long-teim funding Ilwo or more years in Ihe fulurel are the bigge51 £ifbd second biqgesl risks. With Ihis in mind, we further progressed some innovative ideas Ihal have been building over the last lew years. There is a possibility of sotne redevèlopment of space we have on a long lease frotn Hackney Council, bth for Ihal lo be explored thal leasè will need to be extended. and for Ihat to happon a financial viability assesstnent needed to be prepared. The Board took a brave decision lo go ahead with thi5 work and 2s 2 resull, this exceplÈonal cost falls in this finanual year. This means despite an opeialional surplu5 01 £8,762, we are posltn9 8 deftcrf of £8,518. The Board of Trustees l am immensely gratelLJI to our board of Iruslees, who have committed to give their lime. experience and expertise to over¥e2 the work ol the Hoxton Trust. l am proud that our Board rellecls the local community and has Hoxton al its hear(.
