Report of the Trustees

for the year ended 31st March 2023

Trustees & Management

Throughout this financial year, the Trustee Board, comprised of five Trustees and a minute taker, has demonstrated a robust blend of skills, encompassing Business Management, Financial Accountability, Health and Social Needs, the Medical Profession, and HR law. Notably, there have been no resignations, and all Trustees remain steadfast in their positions.

The Trustees have consistently provided support to the CEO, ensuring a collaborative approach. The Charity’s main contract is with Birmingham City Council. This contract extends to March 2023 and, the commencement date for the new tendering round remains undisclosed. Anticipating an imminent extension by the Council, the Trustees actively engage in supporting the CEO with supervision, policy and procedure design and implementation, budget management, strategic planning, recruitment, fundraising, and partnership initiatives with external organizations.

Our dedicated team includes a CEO, five After Care Coordinators stationed at Birmingham’s four acute hospitals (The Queen Elizabeth, Heartlands, Good Hope, and City Hospital). The team also consists of a Volunteer/Social Media Coordinator, and a Digi Buddies Coordinator. The After-Care Coordinator Support Workers contribute significantly as they handle the surge in referrals as we are experiencing a greater demand with more complex cases. One Support Worker efficiently supports two After Care Coordinators. Through the Kick Start Programme, we successfully transitioned a work-based placement into a contracted employee, reinforcing our commitment to professional development.

Given the nature of our employment contracts aligning with the Birmingham City Council Contract, all positions, including the CEO's, are fixed-term. Each After Care Coordinator offers specialised advice on a city-wide referral basis, ensuring comprehensive support.

Support staff, comprising an Admin Support Officer and a Fundraising Officer, continue to play integral roles. The recent outsourcing of the accounting system, managed initially by the CEO before transitioning to an accountancy company, reflects our commitment to streamlined financial operations.

As we reflect on the accomplishments of the past year, the cohesive efforts of our Trustees and Management have fortified our commitment to enhancing the lives of those we serve. We look forward to another year of impactful initiatives and sustained dedication to our work.

Financial Sustainability and Funding Impact

In the financial year under review, the Charity's adeptness in securing funding from various supportive Trusts and local institutions has proven consistently successful. The total funds raised for this financial year amount to an impressive £81,922.

These additional funds play a crucial role in not only offsetting the deficit in Birmingham City Council's contract value but also empowering us to surpass contractual obligations. This enables the Charity to go above and beyond the statutory requirements by offering supplementary support services not covered by the Council contract.

Through meticulous financial oversight, the Charity maintains sufficient reserves, ensuring sustained operations for the foreseeable future. This financial stability extends to a commitment to our staff, guaranteeing each member the contractual notice period in the event of complete funding withdrawal. This robust financial foundation reinforces our ability to provide uninterrupted support to those we support and underscores our dedication to long-term sustainability.

Achievements

We are honoured to announce that our Birmingham-based charity has been awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Voluntary Services. This esteemed recognition highlights the exceptional dedication and contributions of our volunteers who have tirelessly worked to make a meaningful impact in our community. We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who have supported our work and for the nominations, and we look forward to continuing our commitment to service and positive change in the coming years.

In the past year, our charity dedicated itself to supporting Birmingham citizens upon discharge from hospitals. We successfully provided essential services, ensuring a smooth transition for individuals recovering at home. Our impactful initiatives, from post-hospital support, had made a positive difference in countless lives. As we reflect on the past year, we remain committed to enhancing our support and fostering a healthier, more resilient community in the upcoming year.

We express gratitude for the continued support from various Trusts and local institutions, enabling us to raise an impressive £81,922 in this financial year.

These additional funds not only offset Birmingham City Council's contract deficit but also empower us to exceed contractual obligations, providing supplementary support services. Our meticulous financial oversight has resulted in sufficient reserves, ensuring sustained operations for the foreseeable future.

We proudly announce that our charity received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Services, recognizing the exceptional dedication of our volunteers. This esteemed accolade emphasizes their tireless contributions to our community.

In the past year, we've supported over 1500 local citizens with practical assistance, from shopping to benefit checks, significantly enhancing their quality of life. The commitment of our staff and volunteers has made a positive difference in countless lives.

Maintaining a consistent pool of 38 registered volunteers is a testament to our commitment to their continuous development. Collaborating closely with the Volunteer Coordinator, efforts are underway to enhance our volunteer pool further, ensuring they play a pivotal role in delivering impactful services.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of iCAEW which is one of the listed bodies.

2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011.The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).

Income from trading activities includes income earned from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from 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 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.
