ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Mulberry Community Project's mission is to offer each person who has experienced substance addiction the opportunity to stay abstinent by offering them holistic support and the chance to re-establish themselves successfully in the community by giving them a sense of value, respect and dignity.

We provide safe, secure accommodation and support for each resident. Residents have weekly 1-1 support from their designated support worker. We also provide 3 groups per week that everyone has to attend. Support workers will put together a personal support plan with each resident of goals to work towards. These are categorised into 10 different areas, drug use, alcohol use, physical health, meaningful use of time, community, emotional health, accommodation, money, offending and family and relationships. This enables people to work on a wide range of issues while working towards training, education, employment and independent housing. We can hopefully work on all areas before someone leaves us.

This is the work we carry out on a day to day basis for all our residents. We also provide social activities for them. We have had donation from the Martin Geddes trust to assist towards social activities and the resident's themselves contribute. This can be things such as fishing and camping. We have been to the Recovery Games, museum trips to both Liverpool and Manchester and walks in the Lake District. We also volunteer with the National Trust in the Lake District 4 times each year. This can be planting bulbs, clearing pathways and generally assisting the trust with the huge amounts of work they have to carry out each year. Many have not been out of their home towns before and many have been in prison for long sentences. Being able to help the National Trust in such valuable work in this amazing part of the world can help people massively with their recovery.

Our referrals are up from 96 in the 2022-2023 period to 148 in 2023-2024. We have had a constant stream of admissions and sadly in this line of work a constant stream of people leaving. We have however had a constant amount of people in throughout the year and in parts have been full and had to turn people away.

Our main achievements are the people we support. In the financial year we had 10 planned, successful move ons. These residents left to go into their own independent accommodation, most into paid, full time employment, others to carry on with their education or volunteering. They are all giving back to the local community. The wider benefits to society are incredible. It means decreased crime, decreased homelessness, decreased cost for prison sentences and then volunteering and giving back to local charities, supporting others to do the same as themselves through peer support or paid employment in drug services. It can be incredible to watch people grow and this is why Mulberry Community Project exists. We provide an invaluable service to our residents.

We are extremely proud of the work that we do at Mulberry and what we have achieved with people over the last 12 months. We will endeavour to secure the project to ensure that Mulberry will be here to help many more people through the next few years.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
We recognise the financial position that the charity is in and that we can at times be reliant on our housing benefit income. We are also are aware of the losses made during the financial year and are currently in the process of applying again for National Lottery funding. This application is in the latter stages and we are confident that we will be awarded this again. This will secure the project for the next 5 years.

These losses have happened as we have had to lose properties a couple of years ago, properties that enabled us to make a profit. This was caused initially by the loss in referrals through covid and just after. Unfortunately as referrals picked back up and increased we were unable to get more properties as there are new rules and regulations around supported housing, the Supported Housing Regulations 2023. We have had to go through lots of processes and assessments to prove that we are a good provider and provide all that we say we do. As Blackpool was a pilot area for the regulations coming in we are in a fortunate position that we are now through all the assessments, other areas are just starting. However it did come at a bad time immediately after covid when we had already struggled for referrals. We have now been given permission to look at more properties should the need arise. And as our referral rate is increasing all the time we are confident that this will happen.

Both the National Lottery and our increased referrals will help the financial position moving forward.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the Year Ended 29TH APRIL 2024


FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The charity is funded mainly by housing benefit paid in respect of the beneficiaries.

Investment policy and objectives
The Charity's powers of investment are governed by its deed of trust.

Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are free reserves of the charity, at a level which equate to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. The unrestricted expenditure for 6 months in this year was £135,295 (2023: £76,684).

The charity has unrestricted reserves of £88,751 (2023: £123,646) which covers less than 6 months unrestricted expenditure. The adequacy of the reserves policy is reviewed annually.

FUTURE PLANS
Over the next 12 months we plan to keep promoting our service, to keep up our good reputation by getting out to other services, giving talks and presentations. We regularly invite other projects and agencies in to Mulberry and we will continue to do this moving through the next year. We also feel it is time to advertise and get some new experience on our board of trustees. We feel this is important to secure the future of the project. We will continue to look for more funding opportunities. We will hopefully keep our staff team the same as we have an incredible, dedicated and experienced team who go above and beyond for the project and the people in it.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Trustees are appointed according to the memorandum and articles of association.

Key management remuneration
The total remuneration paid to the key employees responsible for carrying out the day to day activities of the charity in the year amounted to £75,055 (2023: £68,208).

Public benefit
When planning the activities for the year, the trustees have considered the commissions guidance on public benefit and in particular the trustees have considered how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

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.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 4 years

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Government grants
Revenue grants are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate.

A grant that becomes receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred, or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the company with no future related costs, is recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
