One Home Climate Solutions (Registered number: 15009502)

Report of the Trustees
for the Period 18th July 2023 to 31st July 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 period 18th July 2023 to 31st July 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).

INCORPORATION
The charitable company was incorporated on 18th July 2023 .

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal activities of the charity in the year under review was that of increasing awareness of positive solutions to mitigate greenhouse gases and increasing resilience to extreme weather events.

One Home Climate Solutions helps UK households to adapt to a low cost, low carbon lifestyle and extreme weather events by providing independent advice, which is distributed through One Home's website and social media, weekly broadcast and print interviews, and Going Green articles appearing across national and regional media.

Campaigns with partner organisations, such as Warm This Winter, help improve peoples' lives while saving money, which is essential during a cost of living crisis, and for cutting carbon emissions. As we increasingly feel the impact of climate change in the UK, One Home also helps people to increase their resilience to storms, floods, heatwaves and droughts to reduce the cost and damage these events cause to homes, the environment and human health and wellbeing.

The company is a charity which means that any surplus is retained for future use in achieving its charitable objectives.


One Home Climate Solutions (Registered number: 15009502)

Report of the Trustees
for the Period 18th July 2023 to 31st July 2024


OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Significant activities
The charity was formed in 2023. The transfer of assets, liabilities and activities from The Climate Alliance Community Interest Company provided the initial impetus. The Climate Alliance is a not-for-profit organisation formed in 2017 to help address the climate crisis and, in particular, the limited public knowledge on solutions to tackle greenhouse gases and sparse media coverage. It established itself as an authoritative source with very effective reach but over time it became apparent that the activities to help address the climate emergency would best be continued within an organisation with charitable status. As a result, the charity One Home Climate Solutions was specifically established for this purpose.

In its first year of operation the charity has achieved a great deal with limited resources. For example, One Home Climate Solutions helps UK households to adapt to a low cost, low carbon lifestyle and extreme weather events. We provide information and advice on positive, practical solutions that improve peoples' lives while saving money, which is essential during a cost of living crisis, and reducing carbon emissions. As we increasingly feel the impact of climate change in the UK, One Home also helps people to prepare for the changes and uncertainty ahead.

To ensure that climate change issues are covered in mainstream publications and outlets that people already read, we have featured in:

- The Guardian - print and online edition 2nd April about coastal erosion threatening Alnmouth golf club.
- The Telegraph - online edition 20th May, with further coverage of coastal erosion in The British coastlines that are disappearing fastest
- Summer parenting - both The Eco News and The Parenting Daily featured low-cost activities for parents to do with children in the Summer holidays.
- The Sun -contributed to coverage of charges for plastic hangers in the money section.
- The weekly Going Green column -with National World Plc, with regional and local newspapers, including The Yorkshire Post and the Scotsman. The column, covering a wide range of environmental topics is published in around 45 regional newspapers and websites each week, attracting around 130,000 online views and reaching an average print audience of 355,000.
- Coverage appeared across industry publications, including in New Energy World.

We created many videos on topics from flooding to insulation that are very popular on social media. We also have spoken at many events including the Climate Change Coalition and Warm this winter on disinformation, over heating and insulation.

The challenges presented by climate change are becoming ever more apparent and the need for trustworthy information and increased awareness is greater than ever, especially due to the amount of disinformation that is spread by polluting industries. One Home is well placed to meet these challenges but requires funding to do so. Increased efforts to generate the necessary income will therefore be an important part of our activities going forward.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Period 18th July 2023 to 31st July 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.

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.

Reserves policy
The Trustees aim to maintain unrestricted reserves at a level which ensures that our key activities can be maintained if there is a temporary shortfall in income. If such a shortfall proves to be more permanent, the reserves are also intended to provide time to allow a phased reduction in expenditure and, in the worst case, an orderly wind up of the charity.

The current benchmark agreed by the trustees is equivalent to three months' worth of expenditure. The actual level of reserves will vary from year to year and the trustees will review both the benchmark and the actual level of reserves periodically.
