In preparing accounts giving a true and fair view, the Trust*s are required to.. select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,. mak8 judg8rn8nts and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.,

The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The Trustees confirm that so far as they are aware, there is no relevant audit infomiation of which the charity's independent examiner is unaware.

Objectives and aclivities The Haven - The Survivors, Network is established to promote the relief of young people and adults of all ages who have suffered from sexual abuse, rape. incest in childhood and domestic violence by the provision of counselling and support services London wide.

Our Activities Haven is unique in that it is a survivor led organisation, providing services with a deep understanding of and empathy with the emotional and psychological issues fad by the victims of these crimes. Haven is a generic organisation, open to all, regardless of ethnictty, gender, orientation, culture, religion or disability. We.. Provide services that are free Promote our services through publicity material placed in appropriate locations in the community {e.g. GP surgeries, libraries, police stations, hospitals, courts etc.) and through neOrkS Work in partnership with all the relevant agencies and service providers {e.g. NHS mental health leams, Police, social seNices, voluntary agencies.)

All our counsellors are trained to provide support to male victims of abuselrape and opre -trial therapy_ This training was provided by The Survivors Trust (TST) a national body that Haven is affiliated to. Financial review In 202112022, our key funding under the Rape Support Fund from the Ministry of justi since transferr to The Mayols Office for Policing and Crime {MOPAC) came to an end. We continued the strategy of seeking new income sources especially from grant makers and trusts. This remains Challenging. Total income for 202112022 was £125,507. Total reSoUrS expended amounted to £99.912, generating a surplus of £25,595. Haven has maintained sufficient reserves to support expected fluctuating income patterns. Reserves policy The Executive Committee is committed to building towards a diverse and sustainable mix of income streams., until that position is reached, they believe that general reserves should be between six and 12 months, recurrent expendilure incSuding anticipated cost increases and should be sufficient to cover staff redundancy payments and operational obligations. At current levels of expenditure, reserves need to be maintained at between £65,000 and £150,000. In view of expected increased operating costs and continuing funding uncertainty. reserve levels will continue to be monitored by trustees to ensure that they remain at an appropriate level to safeguard our commitment to survivors and will be maintained in order to meet fLrture developmental needs. Independent examiner The Executive Committee has agreed that Jacques Saminaden FMAAT be retained by Haven- The Survivors of abuse nthork as its independent examiner.
