Activities undertaken for public benefit

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the set aims and objectives.

The most direct beneficiaries of our activities are women in Sheffield aged 16 and above who have experienced trauma or abuse in childhood or adulthood, including:

Our clients usually suffer from complex post-traumatic stress symptoms due to chronic or repeated instances of abuse or trauma. We provide free 1:1 psychotherapy and free 1:1 and group well-being activities for these women.

Women accessing our services tell us that due to the support they have received, they can better recognise the potential for unhealthy relationships which enables them to maintain healthier relationships. In many cases, therapy also helped women keep or find new employment whilst struggling with their mental health. Our work has wider, additional benefits for the families and communities of the women we directly support. Our clients often tell us that therapy has made them better parents. They also find it easier to attend or volunteer in community activities because of our services.

Our activities have also included providing signposting and informal support to other professionals and agencies who work with women and girls who have experienced trauma or abuse. By sharing our expertise, we can benefit women who are clients or service users of these other agencies.

Achievements and performance

All of Saffron Sheffield's charitable activities focus on improving the mental health and wellbeing of women and girls who have experienced abuse or trauma. We undertake them to further Saffron Sheffield’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

Activities

External Impacts - Covid 19

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on our clients and how we deliver our services. It has been essential to recognise that a shared experience can affect individuals differently. Since March 2020, and ongoing throughout the reporting period, exacerbated trauma symptoms have impacted our clients, who told us that the lockdowns felt similar to being in coercive controlling relationships.

Overall, the pandemic has had a destabilising impact on women's mental health in Sheffield, worsening their depression, anxiety, panic attacks, flashbacks, self-harm and suicidality. The main effects that clients have struggled to cope with have been:

For a minority of our clients, it was felt that the move to remote 1:1 therapy delivered either online or by telephone would not meet their needs or the clients themselves did not wish to receive therapy remotely. We found that children not able to attend school, job furloughs and remote working impacted the ability of our clients to find a private location and commit to a regular slot for therapy each week. In these cases, we offered remote wellbeing support and regular supportive calls from a therapist who also helped to signpost clients to other services if available or required. All but one of these clients have now resumed and completed their 1:1 therapy.

We did not encounter any digitally excluded service users during the reporting period as the ongoing telephone offer is highly accessible. Similarly, we continued to offer a user-friendly, web-based video call platform that does not require any account or app download.

For clients who were still actively at risk of abuse, self-harm or suicide, our therapists adapted their implementation of safeguarding and risk management protocols for remote working. This adaptation ensured that any signs, symptoms or disclosures of abuse and self-harm were carefully managed and referred to relevant agencies.

In July 2021, we began to resume face to face therapy at our premises on Abbeydale Road. In September 2021, we decided to make our blended offer of face to face, online or telephone therapy permanent. In December 2021, we temporarily halted face to face therapy for five weeks due to the rising infections from the Omicron variant.

Trustees’ annual report

for the year ended 31 March 2022

Across the two years of the pandemic, additional funding sources have been available regionally and nationally to mitigate the adverse mental health and domestic abuse effects of the lockdowns and Covid19. We continued to be successful in our fundraising bids, enabling us to sustain and grow our staff base and infrastructure during the reporting period. This capacity growth allowed us to increase the number of women we helped.

External Impacts – Other

Other external impacts on our service have included;

Premises

In the first year of the pandemic, our premises at Daniel Hill in Sheffield became unfit for purpose. A steering committee was formed of two trustees and the CEO, Head of Clinical Services and Office Manager. Alongside the support of Lloyd's Foundation Enhance Programme, considerations began for a suitable alternative in time for the return to face to face service delivery.

However, no suitable alternative was found. The Trustees agreed that, due to the loss of trading income throughout the pandemic, the hiring out of rooms at its premises at Abbeydale Road would cease from 31 October 2021. We could then use that building for all of our operations moving forward. 289 Abbeydale Road became our registered address in October 2021, and one month’s notice was given to the local authority for the termination of the tenancy of 44 Daniel Hill on 19 March 2022.

1:1 Therapy

Waiting List

We opened our waiting list for 3 weeks in August 2021 and 137 women registered for therapy. Our previous intake over 3 weeks in November 2020 had been 95.

Assessments

In the current reporting period, Saffron Sheffield offered 366 assessment sessions (2021: 361) and these were attended by 143 women (2021: 142) . 9% of our assessments (2021: 9%) were missed without prior arrangement. We carried out comprehensive clinical assessments in order to obtain a detailed picture of client symptoms, to assess risk and to inform a personalised offer of therapy.

Therapy sessions

153 women benefited from 1:1 therapy sessions (2021: 116) , from the 2,372 1:1 therapy sessions that were offered (2021: 1,697) . Only 4% of these sessions were not attended without prior arrangement (2021: 6%) . 75 clients completed therapy in this time (2021: 44) .

Wellbeing sessions

We provided 155 hours of 1:1 wellbeing support (2021: 148) , attended by 55 women (2021: 41) .

Therapeutic groups

We did not undertake any face-to-face group therapy sessions during the reporting period. However, we provided 30 sessions of online group well-being support (2021: 31) attended by 5 women (2021: 6)

Recruitment and team development

In May 2021, Sarah Smart took up the CEO role after Katherine Myles gave notice of her resignation from Saffron Sheffield in February 2021.

We have recruited two new staff therapists and two volunteer therapists. All underwent rigorous selection and demonstrated they had a good depth of experience in delivering psychotherapy for trauma and/or abuse before starting with us.

With the increase in our service delivery, the need to increase our support capacity became apparent. We have recruited two new roles: Finance Manager and Administration Assistant. Alongside this, we developed the role of Office Coordinator to Office Manager.

One of our Senior Therapists completed supervision training and has now taken responsibility for the supervision of our three volunteers. She has also taken on leading a monthly reflective practice for all of our clinical staff.

At the end of the current reporting period, we have ten employed staff (7 FTE), seven associate staff and three volunteers.

Several staff CPD opportunities took place during this reporting period:

Trustees

On 15 November 2021 at our annual AGM, Susan Bridgeford resigned from the post of Chair of trustees. She was replaced by Pam Marshall (Chair) and Ahmina Akhtar (Deputy Chair). The board of trustees decided to create a position as deputy to the chair of trustees to deputise for the chair when necessary. The Board also elected three new trustees at this time: Emma Draper, Gill Godden and Sade Ladejobi.

Partnership working

We partner with a number of networks within both the Sheffield and South Yorkshire area and nationally:

Sheffield Psychologies Board

All psychology services commissioned by the NHS meet once a month to share practice, collaborate on service improvements and develop client/patient pathways. Consequently, mental health practitioners across the city are better aware of our specialist service and how to signpost clients to us. We can also better support clients to access other mental health services. We are well-embedded in existing pathways and regularly liaise with other health and social care practitioners to ensure continuity of care.

End Violence Against Women and Girls (WAVES)

WAVES is a Sheffield voluntary sector forum for organisations whose primary purpose is working to end violence against women and their children. Saffron is a member organisation and works collaboratively to share resources, information, and best practices to develop a strong voice to tackle domestic and sexual abuse, rape and other forms of male or gender-based violence.

Mental Health Partnership Network (MHPN)

This network was developed to support and sustain a strong mental health voluntary sector in Sheffield. Its purposes are to ensure that the mental health voice is heard, its diverse perspectives are represented in several inter-agency forums and opportunities are maximised to influence policy and decision-makers, funders and commissioners and other partner agencies. In September 2021, Saffron Sheffield’s CEO was invited onto the Steering Committee of the MHPN.

The Survivor’s Trust

The Survivors Trust is the largest umbrella agency for specialist rape and sexual abuse services in the UK and has been providing infrastructure support to members for the past 15 years. Saffron Sheffield is one of 124 member agencies based in the UK and Ireland.

Sheffield Mental Health Alliance

Saffron Sheffield’s CEO has been involved in the Governance and wider Steering Committee which is working towards the formation of this alliance. The alliance will be made up of a group of Voluntary and Community Sector partners who will come together, along with experts by experience, to improve the provision of mental health services across Sheffield and to positively influence the sector and the wider system we are working within.

Sheffield City Council’s Domestic and Sexual Abuse Provider Consultation Group

This group exists in order to provide a regular formal forum for commissioned and non-commissioned providers working in and around domestic abuse and sexual abuse to consult and be consulted on local, regional and national initiatives and developments.

Clinical Lead Network

This is an informal network for all heads/leads of third-sector therapeutic services in Sheffield, Doncaster, Rotherham and Barnsley. They meet every other month, allowing peer support discussion and

consultation on clinical and professional topics. Saffron is represented at these meetings by Ingrid Harris, Head of Clinical Services.

Beneficiary Outcomes

Therapy Sessions

Our work in this current reporting period has had a profound impact on our clients. We are confident that our remote therapy offer achieves the same standards for building therapeutic relationships, ensuring client satisfaction and reducing trauma symptoms, anxiety, and depression. Our clinical results have continued to be as strong as before the pandemic and client testimonies demonstrate that our service remains critical for our clients.

From April 2021 to March 2022 we collected information on 22 different trauma symptoms from all 75 clients who had completed therapy, using an evidence-based statistically validated tool - The Trauma Symptom Inventory-II (TSI-2).

Of the 75 women that completed therapy in the reporting period:

We received feedback forms from 68 of the 75 clients (91%) who completed therapy. These showed a positive trend among clients in self-reported improvements in physical health and mental health-related emergency visits:

The feedback forms also showed how clients felt about Saffron Sheffield:

Wellbeing Sessions

Of the 36 clients who completed their 1:1 wellbeing sessions, 88% saw a reduction in depression symptoms as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ) and 88% experienced a decrease in their general anxiety as measured by the Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD) 7 scale.

Client Voices from 2021 - 2022

“I've learned why I react to many things in life and that some triggers are a safety warning! With help and support from my therapist, I've also implemented a daily routine, which sounds small but is huge because I'm already feeling better and more stable.”

“My therapist has enabled me to become self-aware and also understand my behaviours, particularly how I respond to situations and the link to my trauma. My therapist is helping me to be kind to myself and using techniques to process some of my trauma. I've been holding on to trauma, and disassociation was my norm. I am now noticing things more and aware of myself and my environment. I recognise I have a long way to go, but it's not daunting for me but is exciting!”

My therapist supported and inspired me to get better, including behaviour and emotions and adjusting my life. I'm learning to have boundaries and give myself space when I need it. Using 'no' has become easier for me, looking at myself differently and not focusing on my past. Accepting mistakes and previous events have been tricky, especially if I can not change them. My therapist has taught me to cope with these hard times and look after myself well, as well as having the ability to ask for help, be around people and focus on improving myself in my own space."

“I acknowledge I visit the GP more; however, this is positive for me, as at first, this caused me anxiety. I have enjoyed the sessions. They have been informative in a nice, safe, comfy space. I was concerned at first that there would be no change. It was hard to visualise I could feel better. I have achieved so much due to increased motivation and confidence. The EMDR was useful and effective at processing the trauma. I was able to make connections to stuff I hadn't related to trauma. I feel there has been progress over time. The service was really flexible, and I appreciated working online, which accommodated my needs.”

“The counselling I have had has enabled me to understand my feelings better. I’ve been able to explore what happened to me and “repack” it in a better way, so I am better prepared to deal with stray thoughts as they happen. My therapist was amazing at reflecting my thoughts back to me in such a way that I could explore the guilt and shame I had been carrying for over 20 years and start to let it go.”

“My sessions with my therapist have proved important in so many ways. We spent the first 20 sessions meeting via a video link and then the last few sessions face-to-face. Although I feel the face-to-face sessions allowed me to express myself more honestly, I still feel that all of the sessions allowed me to explore my insecurities, vulnerabilities, and lack of confidence in relationships to the point where I can feel positive about the future. My therapist's approach made this possible - she listened attentively and made me feel valued. Through her insights which were so gently offered, I feel able to stop blaming

myself for past experiences. Her calm, still presence and non-judgemental approach made it safe to explore very difficult areas of my life.”

“Therapy with Saffron has been amazing! I have finally worked through some things I’ve needed to for a long time and I feel less stuck in the past and finally feel present for the first time in a long time. It’s amazing to see I actually have boundaries in my relationships and can spot abuse and accept a lot of the feelings I experience! I have told many close family and friends who are struggling, about this service and the amazing therapy you offer. My therapist has been amazing and I’ve always felt heard in sessions and guided towards reality and the truth.”

“The therapy I have had with Saffron has been a unique opportunity for me to have time to process and understand what has happened to me in an abusive marriage and its aftermath. This therapy has been focused on me which has been a completely new experience and I think what I have learned about the behaviour of others and about my own feelings is in itself a new start and will stay with me. I don't know where else I would have found this help at a really important turning point in my life.”

Service User Involvement Project

In early 2021, we began implementing a Service User Involvement Project initiated by our volunteer student therapist from the University of Sheffield. This project aimed to ensure that client experience informed any development work. We invited past clients who had completed therapy to participate in the project and have a voice in the broader organisation. We wanted to gather their expectations and opinions about the work we do and their suggestions for improving our service. Seven women responded, with six of them preferring to give feedback remotely rather than face to face during the ongoing pandemic. The development of this project is continuing, and during 2022/23 we will review a new post covid structure and way forward.

Financial review

At the end of the reporting period the charity held funds of £316,915 (2021: £342,639) . Of this £15,770 (2021: £62,275) is restricted funds and £301,145 (2021: £280,364) is unrestricted funds. Of the unrestricted funds, £55,840 has been designated to fund operating costs for the new financial year 20222023.

Of the total funds £142,305 (2021: £146,050) is held in tangible fixed assets (our premises at 289 Abbeydale Road) and £174,610 (2021: £196,589) is held in net current assets.

The charity holds £103,000 in free reserves as of 31 March 2022 (2021: £100,973).

Income

The Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (SCCG) has continued to acknowledge the importance of our work in Sheffield, awarding us £83,021 in the reporting period. We are very appreciative that our role as a specialist service provider continues to be recognised by the SCCG.

for the year ended 31 March 2022

We were fortunate to have been awarded 18 grants and donations totalling £154,785 (2021: £209,648) from local and national charitable trusts.

In 2021, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis impacting our ability to rent therapy rooms and the decision to move our premises to 289 Abbeydale Road we ceased all trading income activity on 31 October 2021.

We began to diversify our income streams and start more individual donor fundraising activities. Alongside developing our digital presence, including social media, we gave supporters the opportunity to donate via our website through appeal emails. We undertook two fundraising appeals within the year; Giving Tuesday and the Big Give Women and Girls Match Fund Appeal. The latter included a bucket collection at a Sheffield Wednesday football match. Total income raised from individual donors and campaign activity during the reporting period was £9,945 (2021: £7,622).

Expenditure

As a provider of specialist services, our staff costs are our main expenditure. Due to the rising cost of living, the Trustees agreed to a 3% increase to staff salaries from April 2022, and will review again before the start of the 2022/2024 financial year.

Reserves policy

The trustees review the reserves each year in line with Charity Commission guidance. We hold reserves in order to;

The level of required reserves agreed by the Trustees is an amount sufficient to cover at least 4 months fixed and essential running costs (as per budgeted costs for the financial period) as well as a provision to ensure the charity would be able to meet statutory redundancy commitments if required.

The charity holds £103,000 in free reserves as of 31 March 2022. This amount covers 4 months of fixed and essential running costs (as per forecasted operating costs for the financial year 2022-2023) as well as a provision of £6,600 to ensure the charity would be able to meet statutory redundancy commitments.

Designated Funds

The trustees have designated funds of £55,840 to fund otherwise unfunded operating costs in the charity’s 2022-2023 operating budget.

Plans for the future

Saffron Sheffield has been through a time of significant growth and changes over the past two years, navigating and thriving through a global pandemic. During 2022/23 we will implement a three-year strategic plan developed by the CEO across all aspects of the charity to ensure we become an even stronger, more resilient and sustainable organisation, able to plan for further growth in its objectives to meet the needs of increasing numbers of women in Sheffield who are suffering from the effects of trauma and/or abuse.

The plan includes a review of our external messaging, audits of our policies and processes, an ongoing review of our service rationale, improvement of our HR practices and ongoing diversification of our funding streams. We will recruit a new post of Fundraising Manager as part of this.

We intend to continue to offer a blended therapy service during 2022/23, with all face to face appointments taking place at 289 Abbeydale Road.

In May 2022, the Crown Prosecution Service issued new guidance to prosecutors regarding the importance of therapeutic support for a victim before any trial. We have organised a Pre-trial therapy training day in August 2022 for our therapists to help them understand and implement the new guidance appropriately for our clients.

Structure, governance and management

Sheffield Women’s Counselling and Therapy Service Limited is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 15 November 1989 and registered as a charity on 26 March 1992. Sheffield Women’s Counselling and Therapy Service Limited adopted the trading name Saffron Sheffield in 2019.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which sets out its objects and powers and it is governed by its Articles of Association.

The trustees of Saffron Sheffield guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the charity’s assets in the event of winding up. The trustees are entitled to voting rights and have no beneficial interest in the charity.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 to the accounts.

A person wishing to become a trustee must be aged 18 or over and recommended by the trustees after an appropriate recruitment process. All trustees must retire at each AGM but can offer themselves for reelection or further co-option. Trustees can at any time co-opt someone to be a trustee, but the total number of co-opted trustees cannot be more than half of the number of elected trustees.

Trustees delegate responsibility for day-to-day management of the charity to the CEO.

Risk management

Although Saffron's current turnover is below the threshold requirement to report on Risk Management, we believe it remains good practice to carry out Risk Management activities appropriate to the scale and risk of our service.

The trustees annually review Saffron’s risk register in order to be be confident that we are managing our organisational risks and opportunities appropriately.

In early 2022, the trustees developed a Risk Appetite Framework with accompanying statements reflecting all aspects of the charity's operations.

A significant risk area is a potential for a loss of funding. With this in mind, the CEO has developed a strategy to diversify income streams over the next three years to ensure the future sustainability of the charity.

Having decided to continue to provide a blended service of online, telephone and face to face therapy, Saffron recognised the increased risk of a data security breach. The trustees have agreed to engage a specialist data protection company to undertake a full audit of our systems and data controls in July 2022.

Client risk assessments are carried out separately at several stages throughout the therapy journey. Our therapists use the Trauma Scale Inventory framework with support from the Head of Clinical Service and as an integral part of Clinical Supervision and line management.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

Sheffield Women's Counselling and Therapy Service Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

19

Sheffield Women's Counselling and Therapy Service Limited

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

d Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

e Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

f Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

h Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

i Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Land & buildings 50 years Improvements to property 4 years Fixtures & fittings 3 years Equipment 4 years

20

Sheffield Women's Counselling and Therapy Service Limited

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

j Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

l Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

m Financial instruments

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

n Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were £196 outstanding contributions at the year end. These were contributions corresponding to the starting month of 2 new employees in the year as the accounts with The Pension Trust were not set up in time for their first payroll. The contributions have now been paid over to The Pension Trust.

The money purchase plan is managed by The Pensions Trust and the plan invests the contributions made by the employee and employer in an investment fund to build up over the term of the plan a pension fund which is then converted into a pension upon the employee’s normal retirement year age when eligible for a state pension. The total expense ratio of the plan is 0.45% for the main fund, and total expense ratio is less than 0.52%, and this is deducted from the investment fund annually. The trust has no liability beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions for the employee’s contributions.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
