Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
Achievements and performance
We celebrated 40 years as a Rape Crisis service, demonstrating a long standing dedication to supporting survivors of sexual trauma. Between April 2024 and March 2025, 1214 new clients were supported by the service.
We have continued to demonstrate high service standards, by applying to Rape Crisis England and Wales to renew our service standards accreditation and have reached the final 'site visit' stage of the process. The outcome will be available in late January. This is the second accreditation, in addition to the UKAS accreditation achieved through The Survivors Trust last year.
We embedded a management team, including the CEO, 3 clinical leads and the ISVA lead to provide stronger leadership for the charity. We also have reviewed the staffing requirements and are planning a restructure of staff and the service in the next financial year.
We have carried out an extensive review of the service provision in response to the changing government VAWG strategy, the changing funding landscape, and staff and survivor voices and are redeveloping the service provision to ensure continuation of the service and improved dedication and continuity for clients, while also further diversifying our offering for clients.
We employed an experienced freelance fundraiser to support the CEO in securing income and in preparation for the large PCC and NHS ISVA and Therapy tender process that will happen In July / August 2025. This has provided stronger financial security is a challenging funding landscape.
We have continued to develop our safeguarding framework, by redeveloping our policies, procedures and embedding regular safeguarding reviews.
We have begun a robust review of all policies and procedures to ensure legal conformity and to streamline processes.
The trustee team has been expanded to ensure that key governance aspects are covered by qualified and experienced trustees.
We reviewed all aspects of the service leading to the key plans for the future listed below.
Trustees now oversee aspects of the service according to the specialism they hold in addition to providing collective oversight of the charity. This has provided invaluable support for the management team.
Reviewed of the EKRCC estate to determine the appropriateness and efficiency of our current estate for current and future service.
We have diversified our offering for clients by introducing walking groups, craft groups and youth groups where survivors can meet other survivors and Chai and Chat sessions for clients from minoritised ethnic groups. These received very good feedback but attendance was very low. We secured funding and will try these again, with more robust advertisement.
During this financial year, the director left the service and a new CEO was recruited. The job specification for the CEO position was specifically adapted to focus on experience in business, human resources and finance management to provide stronger business leadership in those areas and to address the current financial deficit.
We have redeveloped our relationship with our survivors forum (The Kick Back Group) to ensure the survivor voice is more embedded in the decisions and strategies of the charity.

Our reserves policy is to maintain free reserves to manage the potential risks to the charity. The Charity continues to review its expenditure against available income and the annual budget and make changes where necessary to services and or spending.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of East Kent Rape Crisis Centre
Year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of East Kent Rape Crisis Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

East Kent Rape Crisis Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2025
1. General information
The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is PO Box 353, Canterbury, Kent, CT2 9WA.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2025
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Equipment - 33% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
