REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024


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 March 2024. 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
The company is a registered charity and its principal object, as set out in its Memorandum of Association, is 'To provide accommodation and support services for people who may be homeless, struggling to achieve independence or need guidance to assist them to achieve their goals and address their needs. Our objective is to provide an integrated support service which is person centered, aiming to equip them with the knowledge, skills and confidence to be valued and contributing members of the community'.

The mission statement of Rush House is the commitment to the delivery of excellence in the services we provide to those most vulnerable and / or excluded in our society. We do this through encouraging individuals to meet their potential and thus contribute to their community in particular, and society in general.

The vision of Rush House is 'Empowering all to be happy, healthy and safe'.

The organisation has a skilled, experienced and committed staff team, which delivers a comprehensive range of accommodation, support and advice and guidance services to a diverse group of young people with multiple complex needs.

Many of our service users are extremely vulnerable and have low levels of self esteem and educational attainment and are often excluded from, or disaffected with, mainstream services.

Ensuring our work delivers our aims
In order to maximise the quality and range of its services, Rush House has developed a successful range of partnership and collaborative working arrangements with many statutory and voluntary sector organisations in Rotherham and South Yorkshire.

Our aims, objectives and activities are regularly reviewed by staff and trustees to ensure that they remain focused on our stated purposes. We refer to the Charity Commission's guidance on pubic benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The quality and impact of our work is assessed internally using a range of quality and service user satisfaction assessment tools and externally by our funders and partners using rigorous outcome monitoring techniques. Rush House is committed to the principle of continuous improvement and works to a number of quality frameworks including the Investors in People and the Matrix standard for advice and guidance services. More recently Rush has been through the registration process for becoming an OFSTED registered provider of supported accommodation.


RUSH HOUSE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03022267)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The focus of our work
A substantial part of Rush House funding is derived from contractual relationships with Local Authorities and the Lottery Fund. These funding streams require specific outcomes for young people at risk within the framework of Every Child Matters, the Government's vision for children's services around the key issues of:

- Being Healthy
- Staying Safe
- Enjoying and achieving
- Making a positive contribution
- Achieving economic well-being

We therefore provide support, training and advice and guidance to young people in relation to:

- Welfare benefits
- Debt management
- Employment
- Training/Education
- Leisure/culture/faith
- Contact with external services/groups/friends/family
- Primary health care
- Mental health services
- Drugs and alcohol
- Maintaining tenancies
- Offending behaviour
- Safeguarding from harm
- Community involvement
- Accommodation

Rush House also provides a range of fully furnished accommodation in two separate schemes, each offering different and increasing levels of independence.

How our activities deliver public benefit
All Rush House activities deliver against key national and local government strategies and targets in such areas as the NEETS Agenda (not in education, employment or training), homelessness, teenage pregnancy, prevention and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse, community safety and crime prevention.

Who used and benefited from our services?
All Rush House services are predominantly aimed at young people aged 16 to 25 years old mainly living in the Rotherham area, but also covering other areas within Yorkshire and the Humber. Many of them are Looked After Children or leaving the care of the local authority. Over 150 people accessed support from Rush House over the period April 2023 to March 2024. In January 2023 we extended our EET (education, employment and training) offer to make it available to anyone over the age of 16 (with no upper age limit) facing multiple barriers to EET.

Services
We provide accommodation and support to care leavers and vulnerable 16 to 25 year olds through the local authorities FPS (Flexible Purchase System) contracts we have with Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham.

In August 2019 we started delivery of supported accommodation to homeless 16 to 25 year olds with multiple complex needs. This is a partnership working arrangement with Roundabout Limited after together we tendered for this service from RMBC. Roundabout Limited are the main contract holder and sub-contract 12 units of accommodation to Rush House. Support is provided 24 hours a day, every day of the year. During 2023, this contract was put out for tender by the local authority, Roundabout and Rush were successful in securing it again and continue to work together.

Brighter Futures - after securing National Lottery funding in January 2023 we were able continue to deliver our Brighter Futures Service. We took our learning from the first project and made some changes that included lowering the age range to 16 and having no upper age limit thus allowing many more people to access our support. We provide person centered holistic support to those considered furthest from the labour market to help overcome the barriers they face to education, training and employment. We also support people in employment who are struggling to maintain their employment.


RUSH HOUSE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03022267)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

A Place of Your Own (Pre-tenancy training) - a funding grant from RMBC allowed us to continue to deliver this much needed support to Rotherham tenants for a further 12 months. During this time, we have also started to develop a new online training portal that will allow many more people to access training and support.

Life Skills - a donation from the Abstract Foundation in February 2023 has allowed us to employ a Life Skills coach to work with our service users by delivering a range of sessions to develop their life skills and increase their confidence. As part of this, we have also developed a range of AQA units and have become a registered AQA centre.

Human Resources
The organisation has a service level agreement with ProAktive Services for the provision of support and updates on HR issues.

Training and Development
This is an on going process for the whole staff team, utilising regular supervision sessions. Any training needs highlighted will be explored and wherever possible appropriate training offered. We also have a central database managed by the admin team that stores information on all training completed and by whom. During 2022-2023 all managers at Rush completed leadership and management training through CAF funding.

Income Generation
We continue to explore a diverse range of funding avoiding having 'all our eggs in one basket'. We actively seek funding opportunities to support us to develop our services in response to the changing needs of the community we support.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial results for the year are set out on pages 7 and 8.

Although it appears we had excess income in 23/24, some of the income that we received in 23/24 was funding for the following financial year 24/25. Our excess funds were made up of our reserves and of deferred income. Our reserves have been reviewed and still include three months running costs taking into consideration the cost of living increases. We have also been looking at options to invest some of our reserves into buying properties. The amount in our current account also includes grants paid in advance from The Abstract Foundation, Brighter Futures 2, together with other donations, small grants and fundraising.

Investment Powers
The company's investment powers are set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association and allow the company to invest funds not immediately required in investments, securities and property subject to such conditions as may be required by law.

Reserves Policy
The trustees approved a reserves policy in 2019 in line with guidance issued by the Charity Commission

Reserves are considered appropriate to:

i. Ensure the continuity of the organisation in the event of an interruption to its income.
ii. Provide a financial support in the event of emergencies.
iii. Contribute significantly to the trustees' and management team's ability to ensure and balance the current and future needs of Rush House.

The trustees believe that resources should be the equivalent of three months operation costs, approximately £180,000, also including allocations for redundancies. Reserves will be monitored and reviewed by the trustees on a two monthly basis.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rush House Ltd ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, 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 Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs
Support costs are allocated to the various activities based on estimated usage.

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 - 33% on cost

The useful economic life of the expenditure on the refurbishment and fitting out of the leasehold properties used in the scheme is uncertain due to the nature of the charity's activities. In the opinion of the trustees it is therefore prudent to charge the full amount of the expenditure to the statement of financial activities when occured. Other fixed assets individually costing £1,000 or more are capitalised.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation 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.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company is committed to paying contributions equal to 5% of gross pay into the personal pension schemes of permanent staff. Contributions payable for the year are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities when incurred.
