THE PEASHOLME CENTRE YORK REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021
The Directors (who are also the Trustees of the Charity and whose details are shown in the reference and administrative section of this report) are pleased to present their Annual Report together with the Financial Statements of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] March 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 Practise 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[st] January 2019).
The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Our Mission
Peasholme Charity has a mission to end homelessness, and a vision that everyone has access to the right help at the right time to prevent the escalation of crisis situations – the charity defines ‘crisis’ as lacking security, shelter or an ability to sustain oneself.
Peasholme Charity works with disadvantaged and socially excluded people, in particular those who are homeless or at risk of losing their home.
We address social exclusion and poverty by providing support services for people in or heading towards crisis.
Aims and Objectives
Peasholme Charity's purpose was set out in its objects in the company's Articles of Memorandum of Association:
“the relief of poverty, suffering and distress of persons in or about the City of York who are in need and in particular, but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the relief of such of the beneficiaries who are homeless, rootless, or socially isolated for whatever reason as deemed by law to be charitable.”
Our strategic aim is that people are empowered, realise their aspirations, and achieve their full potential.
Our specific aims are to:
-
Reduce social exclusion, homelessness, and risk of becoming homeless.
-
Enable people to obtain and maintain a tenancy.
-
Enable people to engage in meaningful occupation, such as work, volunteering, education and training, and hobbies, or other recreational pursuits.

THE PEASHOLME CENTRE YORK REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED
-
Increase individual motivation, self-efficacy, and self-esteem.
-
Facilitate access to ‘specialist’ services that meet identified needs and personal aspirations.
Our aims fully reflect the purpose that the Charity was set up to further.
The Focus of our Work
Our main objectives and activities for the year was the provision of good quality community-based support services for disadvantaged and socially excluded people.
This was achieved through:
-
the provision of a financial capability support and advice service.
-
the provision of accessible community based drop-in activities delivering information and advice aiming to prevent the escalation of crisis situations.
-
the provision of a one-to-one support service for people with complex needs who are either rough sleeping or insecurely housed.
-
partnership working that ensures a comprehensive range of support services are available for vulnerable and excluded people.
The charity has designated the development of a ‘Homeless Hub’ as a long-term strategic aim; and has maintained redeployed resources within front-line homeless prevention work in order to meet the longer term demands of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our Services
My Money. My Life...
My Money. My Life…’. is a financial capability advice and support service that offers a pathway from financial instability and crisis to a more secure and stable position. The service offers a range of interventions from brief advice to community drop-ins and long term supported learning aiming to provide individuals with the skills to prevent the reoccurrence of crisis situations.
During the year 214 individuals / families were supported by the Financial Capability Coach, representing a 29% increase in the number of people accessing the service as compared to the previous year.
While only 35 people acknowledged the Covid-19 pandemic as a primary reason for accessing help; the charity recognises the enormous impact the pandemic has had on society and continues to monitor the needs of those asking for help.

THE PEASHOLME CENTRE YORK REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED
The charity continued to offer altered services because of the pandemic; we offered virtual access to our drop-in partners but ultimately these were not as successful as hoped. The organisation noted issues with access to technology and the skills to use what devices were available as barriers to individual engagement.
During the reporting period, 60 individuals were signed off the service having achieved the following positive outcomes:
-
85% accessed support related to managing their welfare benefits.
-
37% accessed support related to managing utilities.
-
50% accessed budgeting support to control their bills.
-
30% accessed crisis work, incl. threats of homelessness.
-
37% access support to access specialist support services incl. debt advice services.
The Financial Capability Coach helps people access the benefits to which they are entitled, including supporting them to manage appeals and tribunal processes with the Department of Work and Pensions.
During the reporting period, the service generated the following additional income for individuals / families:
-
£29,502 from welfare benefit payments through appeals and challenges.
-
£84,549 additional yearly income from new welfare benefit payments.
Next Steps – intensive support for rough sleepers
The service provides intensive outreach support for individuals with complex needs who are rough sleeping or insecurely housed; enabling people to move from crisis situations to a place of security.
The service provides both homeless prevention and resettlement support and works as part of a multiagency and multi-disciplinary approach to ending rough sleeping. The Tenancy Coach works alongside stakeholders including the local authority led Rough Sleepers Initiative (RSI) and the peer-led recovery network.
The service supported 47 individuals, representing a 15% increase from the previous reporting period; this lower increase in people needing support is reflective of national initiatives including the ‘Everyone In’ scheme, the evictions ban and increased levels of welfare benefits have kept people in their homes.

THE PEASHOLME CENTRE YORK REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021

The Hub Coordinator continued to be deployed into the delivery of ‘Next Steps’ and alongside the provision of intensive support – they provided basic relief, including the delivery food parcels and wellbeing packs to rough sleepers housed through ‘Everyone In’. The charity worked with Pizza Hut and Mecca Bingo over lockdowns and delivered over 1,000 hot meals to vulnerable people in emergency accommodation and in the community.
Community Advice Service
Peasholme Charity and York Foodbank continue to work in partnership at weekly sessions; the Advice Worker and volunteers work together to identify people in crisis for whom additional support would have a positive impact on their situation.
The charity continued to offer an altered service in partnership with York Foodbank, the crisis phoneline supported 165 individuals / families during the reporting period. The service continued to offer followup additional support with 90 individuals / families engaging with this element of service provision.
The additional support continued to be delivered remotely, delivering phone support, referral to specialist organisations and hardship grant applications.
In total the Community Advice Worker delivered:
-
664 phone support sessions.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES - CONTINUED
Covid-19 pandemic – ongoing activities
The charity continues to deliver an altered service model to maintain the safety of staff and the people accessing our services, as well as, to ensure the continuation of support services for vulnerable people.
The charity used a risk management approach to service delivery; front line staff and Trustees were engaged in this process through regular virtual meetings and email updates.
In August 2020, the charity secured funding from the Coronavirus Community Support Fund distributed by The National Lottery Community Fund. These funds are being used to recruit into the vacant ‘Next Steps’ post. Due to the identified increase in homeless prevention work, and the continued closure of community venues, the Hub Coordinator remains redeployed to ‘Next Steps’.
At the time of writing this report, the charity continues to experience increased numbers of people approaching us for help. It recently received a Coronavirus Phase 3 grant from the Two Ridings Community Foundation to support ongoing costs: recognising the vital nature of the charity in the continued support of vulnerable people in York.
The Board of Trustees remain extremely thankful to the staff team for their hard work and dedication since the start of the pandemic. The trustees acknowledge that they have shown flexibility and resilience in how they responded to the ongoing crisis; including how they remained focused on meeting the needs of the people we serve.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Peasholme Charity’s principal activities are to provide services for disadvantaged and socially excluded people in York; to prevent those in danger of losing their tenancies, from becoming homeless and, for those who have become homeless, to help them settle back into accommodation in a sustainable way.
We have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when undertaking review and planning future activities.
Who uses and benefits from our services?

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) 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), and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Peasholme Centre York 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). The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charitable company.
The charitable company is a private company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England. The address of the registered office is: 25 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JH.
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The directors/trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing the financial statements.
c) Income recognition
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
d) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Costs of charitable activities include those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis as set out in note 6.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's activities. These costs have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
e) Fund accounting
Restricted funds are funds which are used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors.
Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.
Designated funds are funds set aside by trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
f) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are included in the financial statements at their historical cost (in the case of donated assets, at their fair value at the date of acquisition).
Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:
Office equipment, fixtures and fittings over 4 years Computer equipment over 3 years
g) Pension scheme
The charity pays defined contributions into personal pension plans for its employees. The assets of the schemes are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs are charged in the Statement of Financial Activities and represent the contributions payable by the charity in the year.
h) Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged on as straight line basis over the lease term.
i) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
j) Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
k) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
l) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
