CHAIR'S REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 |
LeatherHead Start is a direct access hostel providing short term accommodation to both men and women over the age of 18. All our clients have been through a period of trauma while being homeless and so have varying problems that need to be addressed, so that when they move on, they will be able to maintain their tenancy. |
Our vision is "To improve the lives of homeless people and encourage them towards future independent living" |
In order to achieve our aim, we provide a 24/7 service. |
During the reporting year we supported 42 clients. Of these, 31 clients left us during the year, of which 26 (84%) were planned move-ons to accommodation providing more independent living. The average length of stay for these clients with us was 16 weeks. |
When clients arrive, they are booked in by our Client Services Co-ordinator (CSC). The CSC works regular daytime hours enabling the needs of each client to be assessed and addressed promptly. At the beginning of each day the CSC will draw up a list of actions and casework for that day and Support workers will work with the clients to ensure all are completed. We are aware that our client profile has become more demanding than in the past with many more of our clients having complex needs. Therefore, it is very important that we have full and accurate information from referral agencies, so we can best help clients as they arrive. |
Move-on accommodation, which is largely shared accommodation, is made available by local longer-term supported housing providers such as Homegroup and Transform. Clients may also be eligible for the Housing Register and bid for their own tenancy in social housing. Occasionally clients obtain a tenancy in the Private Rented Sector.When clients move on to an independent tenancy, we have our own Tenant Support Worker who will continue to give support if it is needed, it could be just for the first week or two, others will need support for longer. One or two may even return for brief support after many years of stability - our door is always open. |
During the reporting year our Tenant Support Worker has worked with 22 clients. Most of his work has been around ensuring clients are attending appointments, helping with benefits and finances, liaising with other agencies, and other such support. He has also responded throughout the year to occasional needs associated with tenants we have previously supported. |
Staff |
The Board greatly values the staff team and appreciates their willingness to reflect on their practice and how they strive to constantly improve. |
This year members of the staff team received training in: - |
- Handling Violence & Aggression |
- Safeguarding Adults Awareness |
- First Aid Awareness |

CHAIR'S REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 |
East Surrey Outreach Service - eSOS |
We continue to work with eSOS which is a partnership of East Surrey Councils: Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Epsom and Ewell and Tandridge, working together for a homeless outreach service across East Surrey. These authorities fund the service which is currently run by Thames Reach, a London based charity working with the homeless. The aim is to reduce rough sleeping within the Districts and provide support and guidance to entrenched rough sleepers with complex needs as well as those facing homelessness for the first time. The outreach team have an office based in Leatherhead and LeatherHead Start is supporting the service by providing two assessment beds ring-fenced for eSOS referrals only. We accommodated 8 clients in the eSOS beds this reporting year. |
Clients |
We are here first and foremost for the clients and during their time with us we want to make it as positive an experience as it can be, so that they will move on with confidence and hope for the future. |
Below is a list of activities that have taken place during the reporting year. |
Well-Being sessions have moved to the evening making it easier for all clients to attend. 23 sessions were held during the year and topics covered include:- |
Understanding Anxiety |
What Is Stress & How to Manage It |
Building Emotional Resilience |
Budgeting |
Sleep Hygiene |
Goal Setting |
Managing Relationships & Boundaries - Learning to Say No |
Confidence Building & Self Worth |
Allotment - All clients are encouraged to take part and we have had a very good harvest. The produce has been used by our chef in the evening meals, which has helped to reduce our shopping bill. |
Counselling - 12 clients |
Gym -We were able to negotiate a new contract when Better took over the Leisure Centre for our clients and many have taken advantage of this. |
Weekly house meetings have continued and prove to be most valuable in discussing issues with clients in order that we, in consultation with their input, are able to develop the service. We have continued with the reward scheme which helps to motivate clients to attend activities. They are given their reward at the house meeting. |
Volunteers |
In all appropriate cases, volunteers have a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, before they start working with clients. We have a register of volunteers some of whom provide us with evening meals when our Chef is away. |
We wish to thank them for their continued support. |
Board |
At our Board meeting we discuss reports from the Manager, and the Tenant Support Worker and reports covering our five aims from Board members. We also receive bi-annual reports from the Treasurer showing our income and expenditure, to ensure both that our activities remain within budget and that we maintain a sufficient level of reserves, so that we can maintain operations for a period, currently 12 months, if major cuts are made to the funding, we currently receive from public sector sources. We are investigating making applications to funders who support charities like ours. |
We continue to have regular GDPR monitoring meetings. |

CHAIR'S REPORT |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024 |
Move-on House - 3-bedroom house in North Leatherhead |
During the reporting year we have accommodated two clients both are working and are bidding for social housing. We have decided to continue, at present, to retain our Resident Volunteer who occupies the third room whilst studying full time. We will review this situation in due course. Various repairs and maintenance have taken place during the year. We have reviewed the running costs and they are within budget. The arrangements to receive housing benefit are running smoothly and there are no current arrears. |
The Environment |
Our energy supplier continues with a British renewable energy group specialising in sustainable energy. Our extension has a green roof which is maintained regularly. We have an allotment using organic practices to grow our own vegetables and some fruit, we add the office shreddings to the compost heap, it is plastic free area. |
Serious incidents |
There have been no serious incidents in this reporting year to report at LeatherHead Start. |
In conclusion we are fortunate to have such great support from our local community and LeatherHead Start wishes to thank all for their encouragement and help. |

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES |
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST 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 31st 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 objective of LeatherHead Start is to provide relief to those in necessitous circumstances in the Mole Valley district and in particular by the provision of temporary hostel accommodation and related services. |
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
Details of the Charity's activities and achievement for the period are given in the Chair's Report and Annual Statistics. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Public benefit |
LeatherHead Start aims to improve the lives of homeless people in the Mole Valley and encourage them towards future independent living. The Board confirm that they have complied with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities Commission guidance on Public Benefit. |
All members of the Board give their time voluntarily. |
Financial review |
The Charity made a deficit for the year of £70,976 (2023: deficit of £62,060). We have maintained our reserves policy in order to sustain the organisation in case of possible future reductions in funding. |
Reserves policy |
LeatherHead Start needs to maintain sufficient funds to cover future uncertainties. Whilst we know that we are delivering a first class and essential service, there is downward pressure on public spending and this is unlikely to abate soon. Our annual running costs are around £300,000, so any further reduction in the public funding we receive would quickly eat into our reserves. Our intention therefore is to maintain sufficient readily accessible funds in reserve in order to allow Leatherhead Start to continue delivering services for homeless people for at least 12 months even if reductions in public funding became a serious problem. |
The trustees have designated funds equal to the net book value of fixed assets of the charity to better identify and manage the funds that are readily available. The total funds of the charity at 31 March 2024 were £568,831 of which £302,465 are unrestricted 'free' reserves. |
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT |
Governing document |
The charity is a company limited by guarantee and its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association as amended on 28 April 2011. |
The Board |
LeatherHead Start is managed by the Board, who are also the charity's trustees, which comprises up to 12 members elected at annual general meetings. Members of the Board receive no remuneration. The Board is responsible for raising funds, appointing project workers and incurring expenditure to ensure that the charity achieves its objectives. The Board sets policies, including health and safety, equal opportunities and financial control, and oversees their implementation by the Manager and staff. |
Recruitment, appointment and training of new trustees |
Existing trustees invite potential new trustees to join having regard to the relevance of their experience to the work of the charity. The Board regularly consider the skills base of the existing members and consider the training needs of old and new members. |

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of LeatherHead Start ('the Company') |
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st March 2024. |

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. |
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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: |
1. | accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or |
2. | the accounts do not accord with those records; or |
3. | the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or |
4. | the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). |
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |
