FRESH HOPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09904428)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Our charity's purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company's articles of association are to:

To improve and transform the lives of individual people and communities, in such communities as the trustees may from time to time think fit, with special emphasis on, but not exclusively, young people, vulnerable adults and disadvantaged families, by sponsoring, supporting and/or implementing community projects. To work with, encourage and provide opportunities for people in communities who have what they need, to work with those who do not, and so make the community a caring and healthy place to live for all.

We will do this by sponsoring, promoting and supporting a variety of projects delivering benefits to the community.

Public benefit

How our activities deliver public benefit
Currently, Fresh Hope has the following projects delivering benefit to the public:

1.The School House Café (SHC) Our aim in 2023 was to boost the levels of community activities in the SHC which had yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels. Over the year we held numerous events including:

-Pizza making
-Live music
-A children's Christmas party


Many of these events were attended by over 100 people from our community. We have also made
efforts to create regular events which include:

-A weekly #payasyoufeel lunch club.
-Weekly holiday activities in partnership with Make Lunch.
-Dungeons and Dragons on a Saturday morning
-Board Games
-Lego Club
-Tea and cake for older isolated people in the community.

It has been a pleasure seeing all of the community use the space at the SHC under the same roof. We have seen an increase in families use the cafe with the newly developed play room and increasing the events and activities on offer, more and more people are coming to benefit from the facilities. It is exciting to see the space used and the community viewing the cafe as a safe place to come and somewhere they want to be. The community lunch has allowed people who would not normally come into the cafe to benefit from the space with a healthy hot meal each week and the relationships that have been built here are a real highlight and a working example of the vision we want to achieve.

These efforts are set against a backdrop of really difficult trading conditions. The cost of living crisis and energy crisis, combined with high minimum wage increases has made it very difficult for the SHC to cover its costs. The long term viability of the SHC remains a concern. That said, we received a large grant in 2023 to allow us to refurbish the kitchen and also a grant to allow us to really focus on growing the use of the SHC.

FRESH HOPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09904428)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

2.The Cycle Project The project provides cycle repair, servicing and the sale of refurbished bikes. This project grew rapidly in 2023 with up to 6 volunteers helping. This has allowed us to repair, service, sell and give away far more bikes in 2023.

3.Jigsaw (outreach to vulnerable families) The Pantry opened in March 2023 and over the year has provided food to over 50 families in the community. For a £4 weekly membership fee, families are provided with 10 shelf items, two fridge or freezer items and free fresh fruit and vegetables. We have also added recipe bags to our offering. We have seen great collaboration as part of this project including working with the Rock who provide space and working with Cheltenham is Growing who provide very locally grown fruit and vegetables. We continue to run a toddler group on a Monday at the SHC and feeding "free school meal" families in the school holidays.

4.The Armoury (A community gym) 2023 saw the Armoury growing both Membership and Personal Training and saw a big increase in the sense of community reinforced by a number of large social events. We also supported other charities by providing classes and qualified staff to them, with a view to extending the geographical range of our services. Financial performance was ok but we will need to perhaps double the current membership to create a sustainable model that can be replicated.

Delivering these public benefits would not be possible without:

-Our staff who continue to show real compassion for the communities they serve while delivering
a professional service to our customers;
-The tireless efforts of the volunteers who run some of the projects and who manage and run the
charity as a whole;
-The customers of both the School House Cafe and the Armoury gym, who have continued to
support us with their custom.

We are thankful for the continued financial support of the Life Development Fund of Gloucester Diocese.

We have been delighted and humbled by the number of individuals who continue to support our work financially. It would be inappropriate to mention names here but our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you.

Our Values
At Fresh Hope we aspire to live out our values:

Community we are passionate about building inclusive and authentic communities, generating joy and a sense of belonging.

Compassion we are kind, warm and generous to everyone we encounter.

Integrity we act in an honest and open way, treating each other with dignity and respect.

Teamwork we achieve more when we collaborate and all work together.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
Cash flow is good, but overall net reserves remain below 3 months operational costs


FRESH HOPE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09904428)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

FUTURE PLANS
We remain open to exploring opportunities to reproduce both the School House Cafe and The Armoury in other locations. We continue to discuss with Gloucester Diocese what a more formal partnership might look like.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 7 December 2015 and registered as a charity on 3 May 2016. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association and is governed under its Articles of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the
company’s Articles are known as members.

Under the requirements of the Articles of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company, one third of the directors must retire each year (longer serving since election first) but can be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting held on 13th July 2023, David Lynch and Tony Solomon resigned as directors and were re-elected. All member of the company give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 10 to the accounts.

Trustee Induction and Training
The trustees continue to work together to develop both the governing documents of the charity and also the purpose and vision of the charity. All are provided with links to material provided by both the Charity Commission and Companies House on the roles and responsibilities of a Trustee and Director. Most of the Trustees are already familiar with these due to other positions that they hold.

Related parties
Fresh Hope works collaboratively with a number of organisations not least St Paul's Church, Cheltenham, where the Café is based and Holy Trinity, Cheltenham where the Armoury is based. However, based upon the definition of a related party in IAS24, Fresh Hope has no related parties.

Risk management
The Directors consider risks as part of their monthly board meeting. Most risks are reviewed every month including operational, financial and safeguarding. The overall risk log is formally reviewed on an annual basis.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees (who are also the directors of Fresh Hope for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) including Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fixtures and fittings - 10% on cost
