Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
Holloway Neighbourhood Group is constituted as a Company Limited by Guarantee (No. 01804906) incorporated on 30 March 1984 and a Registered Charity (No. 290493) registered on 9 November 1984. The company is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association and in the event of the company being wound up all members present and twelve months past are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
Trustees are sought who have professional skills and experience and who represent the users of our services. The Board of Trustees regularly carries out a skills audit and seeks candidates with complementary skills and experience. We have identified a need to broaden the diversity spectrum of Trustees, both in terms of protected characteristics and lived experience. We are developing a recruitment strategy with the aim of both increasing the diversity of the Board so as to better represent the communities we serve and to fill recently identified skills gaps.
Potential Trustees are asked to observe a number of meetings of the Board of Trustees before the existing Trustees approve their application and formally vote them onto the Board of Trustees. One third of Trustees stand down from the Board of Trustees at the company's AGM, and elections (or reelections) of Trustees are carried out by the membership. At the first meeting after the AGM, Trustees vote to appoint the Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary.
Organisational Structure
The governance of the organisation is the responsibility of the Board of Trustees which delegates to the Chief Executive the day to day running of the organisation, including operational management and ensuring that the organisation's objectives are met. The Chief Executive attends Board of Trustees' meetings but has no voting rights.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Vision: Empowered, happy and inclusive communities where all people are valued.
Mission: We provide support and services and build connections to empower people to lead fulfilled lives as part of their community.
Values:
-

Statement on Public Benefit
Holloway Neighbourhood Group operates solely for the public benefit. When reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities, the Trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
The Charities Act 2011 sets out twelve kinds of activity that are recognised as charitable provided that there is sufficient demonstrable 'public benefit'. All our beneficiaries are individuals or communities that are socially and economically deprived and Holloway Neighbourhood Group carries out work in the following areas identified in the Act:

Statement on Public Benefit (continued)
-
Prevention or relief of poverty - whilst we do not provide grants, our work addresses the causes and consequences of poverty by providing services ourselves, supporting others to provide them from our buildings, or by encouraging local people to help themselves and each other.
-
Advancement of health or saving of lives - our work includes health and wellbeing programmes for disadvantaged or isolated community groups as well as counselling and complementary therapy designed to support people with mental health issues.
-
Advancement of citizenship or community development - we encourage and support volunteering and community action; we host MP and councillor surgeries, organise community events, support the development of smaller community organisations, and encourage participation in civic life and society.
ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
For the first half of the year, because of continuing concerns about COVID-19 infection and the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions, most of our services were delivered online. As the months progressed, our service users were more confident to join group activities in person at our 2 centres the Stress Project and the Old Fire Station.
STRESS PROJECT
At the Stress Project we provide counselling and wellbeing support for people who experience mental health issues. In total, the Stress Project supported 376 people in 2021/22.
Counselling
The pandemic resulted in noticeably increased mental health issues in our communities. We responded by expanding our service to support more people with fast-track access to assessments and programmes of free counselling. With grant funding from Cloudesley and Islington Council, we paid experienced, fully-qualified counsellors to support people with more complex needs in addition to our usual service delivered by part-qualified volunteer counsellors.
Using the CORE Outcome Measure, of the people who received counselling this year, 95% were above the clinical cut off score of 10, indicating high levels of distress. This is the highest proportion for the past 5 years of people commencing counselling at the Stress Project above the clinical level of distress. 49% showed improvements above the level of clinical significance with their levels of distress moving from the clinical to non-clinical (healthy) population. 61% showed a reliable improvement in their wellbeing.
We delivered 2,539 counselling sessions with 236 individuals benefiting.
Mindfulness Services
With grant support from Cloudesley, we continued to deliver our very popular Mindfulness services. This year we delivered 5 8-week courses. 70% of course participants continue to practice Mindfulness after completion of their course and we introduced monthly Refresher Sessions to support them with this.
We also delivered weekly drop-in Mindfulness classes which, once COVID restrictions allowed, were delivered as a blended activity with the option to participate in-person at the Stress Project or online.
In total 147 individuals benefited from our Mindfulness services.

Other Activities
With the easing of lockdown restrictions, we introduced a weekly wellbeing group an opportunity to participate in therapeutic activities in a friendly, facilitated space. The Wellbeing Group supported 23 people since its commencement in October.
We were also able to re-introduce acupuncture, massage, reiki and reflexology. We delivered 117 sessions with 39 people benefiting.
OLD FIRE STATION
The Old Fire Station is a multi-purpose community centre where we provide a range of activities to support local people to build social connections and enhance their wellbeing. In total, the Old Fire Station supported 344 people in 2021/22.
Classes
We began the year delivering all our classes online but, as lockdown restrictions eased and our service users told us that they were ready to meet in-person, we transferred some classes to the centre, offered others as a blended activity with the opportunity to attend either at the centre or online, and others outdoors in local parks.
Classes on offer included gentle exercise (mixed and men-only), yoga, chair yoga, tai chi, art, creative 371 classes which benefited 280 people.
services, and encouragement to keep active in mind and body. We established the service at the start of the pandemic and have continued to support people by phone who are unable to visit our centres for reasons such as frailty, caring responsibilities, and high levels of anxiety. As well as calling people who previously visited the Old Fire Station and Stress Project, we also welcomed new people referred to us from local agencies. We made 1,017 calls to 163 people.
Other Activities
our service users experiencing digital exclusion. We delivered 53 one-to one tech support sessions, supporting 27 people.
With a grant from the GLA Active Londoners Progamme, we established outdoor activities including group walks, one-toCaledonian Park was especially popular allowing our service users to meet up in in the fresh air thus reducing their anxieties around COVID-19.
VOLUNTEERS
As a small team we are extremely grateful for the contributions of our wonderful volunteers. An amazing 76 people volunteered with Holloway Neighbourhood Group this year. With great generosity and kindness, they exemplify our values around compassion, respecting diversity and connecting people. They acted in various roles including providing counselling and complementary therapies, facilitating group activities, maintaining our premises, making In Touch phone calls, administrative support, and gardening.

FUTURE PRIORITIES
The Trustees are extremely grateful to our funders their support has enabled us to deliver services in a flexible way which reflect the preferences of our service users as well as complying with regulation necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. With many experiencing financial pressures and anxiety about mixing with people, we are seeing high levels of mental ill health and social isolation. We are committed to further expansion of our service delivery ensuring that service users have the choice of joining free activities online, by telephone and in-person. We will progress our work around digital inclusion and continue to expand our counselling offer. We will implement appropriate measures around COVID security, including reducing class sizes so that we can implement social distancing and using outside spaces where possible.
RESERVES POLICY
The Trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the charity. The target is to hold between 3 and 9 months running costs in unrestricted reserves, and it is confirmed that the existing level of reserves is appropriate:
- £395,000 is held in a Designated Property Fund - which would allow us to fulfil our obligations under our current leases, and enable us to acquire and fit out alternative premises to continue or expand our services. We are likely to draw upon this Designated Fund when the lease for one of our Centres expires in 2023 or when the Landlord at our other centre chooses to commence negotiations about our future tenure.

Year ended 31 March 2022
RESERVES POLICY (continued)
-
£30,000 is held in a Designated Staffing Fund - which would allow us to honour our obligations regarding redundancy or to allow for staff cover during prolonged periods of absence.
-
£226,668 is held in a General Fund - which represents 7 month's running costs. This General Fund would help us to avoid closure by ensuring staff could continue working, to seek new sources of funding and support service users to move on to other services. The Trustees review the level of reserves needed yearly, and whenever there are significant changes in our property requirements or staffing levels.
RISK MANAGEMENT
On a regular basis, the Board of Trustees actively reviews the major operational and business risks which the charity faces, and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. In the past year, this has included frequent review of the risk of COVID-19 transmission and subsequent adjustments to our service delivery and COVID-safety protocols. In our plans for service delivery, we have also taken account of fast-changing needs in our local communities and a difficult to predict funding environment. Assessment of risks and threats to the organisation is the ongoing responsibility of the Chief Executive and such issues as they arise are taken to the Board of Trustees for discussion and action.
Financial review
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the latest Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).
The Statement of Financial Activities shows total income received in 2021/22 of £349,784 (2020/21: £475,044). Expenditure for the year was £381,019 (2020/21: £358,501) This resulted in a deficit, after taking account of gains on investments, of (£1,146) (2020/21: surplus £173,038). Total funds carried forward to 2022/23 are £651,668 (2021/22: £652,814).
Responsibilities of the trustees
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of Holloway Neighbourhood Group for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
· select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
· observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
· make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
· state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2022
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is The Old Fire Station, 84 Mayton Street, London N7 6QT.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: - No cash flow statement has been presented for the company.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the
charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2022
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Computer & office equipment - 20% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
That charity is limited by guarantee of £1 per member without share capital.
