SAFE GROUND (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03080847)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
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 31 March 2022. 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 activities
The object of the Company is to advance the education of the public, in particular but not exclusively prisoners in the arts, specifically the art of drama, literature and poetry and to use the arts to rehabilitate prisoners, offenders and community members by promoting and developing people's creative and artistic abilities, parenting and relationship skills.
Significant activities
Safe Ground is expert in the design and delivery of arts-based, therapeutic group work. We operate in a range of custodial and community settings nationally, creating spaces in which transformational change can occur. Our work offers access to new perspectives, creates opportunities for discussion and debate, and invites participants to take risks, experiencing themselves and each other in new ways.
Our programmes do create a positive impact; analysis of Fathers Inside shows a 40% reduction in re-offending between programme participants and their counterparts who did not participate (Justice Data Lab, 2016). Our most recent evaluation of Fathers Inside (Blagden 2019) highlighted a statistically significant reduction in parental stress pre/post programme and a significant increase in less-restrictive attitudes towards parenting because of the programme.76.5% of participants engaged in further ETE (education, training and employment) one month after completing Fathers Inside, compared to 53.6% prior to the programme.
Until March 2020 when a nationwide lockdown forced an end to group work in secure settings and our face-to-face work was put on hold, Safe Ground's flagship programmes had continued to deliver impact and generate interest from a range of stakeholders. They remain an integral part of our organisational strategy and we look forward to establishing the revised versions of Fathers Inside and Family Man and expanding our network when it is safe to do so.
"You guys gave me so much power and helped me out through everything. It's really shocking to realise that I thought I was strong before but now I feel really strong." Our Own Stories Participant, 2021
Throughout the challenges of 2019/2020 the team worked tirelessly to adapt our ways of working, build on our impact, and produce outcomes for both existing, emerging and new audiences. At HMP Parc, where they are adequately resourced to deliver short programmes, Man Up was delivered twice to small groups of men on the Family Interventions Unit.
Our Own Stories was modified for online delivery, reaching 38 women between July 2020 and February 2021; new programmes Great Minds and The Common Room provided spaces where group members came together to share their emotional responses during the covid pandemic. Our Human Writes series and Thinking Space packs demonstrate our commitment to producing high quality creative resources stimulating thoughts, ideas and stories in their users; Family Focus is an audio-visual family relationship programme developed in response to a call for digital resources suitable for in cell learning; The Comfort Zone represents the value of Safe Ground processes in community settings. The programme's inclusion as part of a new integrated service models for mental health can be replicated in secure settings.
"I used the word nourishing about my experience of the group. There was something that felt nurturing about the experience of feeling seen in my fullness ie. both what I present in a more explicit way on a day-to-day level, and also the parts I usually try to keep hidden." Great Minds Participant, 2020/21
Between April 2020 and March 2021, we worked with a total of 72 men and women who joined us online from across England and Wales. We distributed hard copy resources to approximately 400 people in secure and community settings nationally. We are more committed than ever to the creation of inclusive and empathetic communities, working towards a world without punishment.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit.
The trustees are satisfied that the aims and objectives of the charity meet the public benefit requirement; and that the charity's activities are in support of those aims.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
When the U.K. went into lockdown, visits were suspended indefinitely, and we spent some time considering how we could offer comfort and meaningful activity for men and women going through lockdown in prison. Our earliest contribution took the form of illustrated letters, each of which included short instalments of an original short story for children, 'The Little Foxes'. It was our intention that these letters could provide inspiration to those who received them. Within the context of 23-hour lockdowns in prisons, we wanted to demonstrate that imagination and creativity can prosper anywhere. Our letters sampled various techniques for communicating through letter writing, including through the use of illustration Human Writes is a series of ten, unique, creative reading and writing resources, designed by Safe Ground to inspire artistic expression through group or self-directed learning.
Our Own Stories women's programme continues to run as part of the Minerva Wrap Around service for women across London. At the beginning of the year we adapted the programme for online delivery and have welcomed 38 women over 6 week programmes since April. Programme delivery will continue online until face to face work can resume safely.
As an immediate response to the impact of lockdown and Covid restrictions on women in London, we designed and produced our Thinking Space Cards and Journals. We were generously funded by the London Community Foundation to create a set of high-quality resources as an offer of immediate practical support to the vulnerable women we work with through the Minerva Wrap Around project, prisons and other community and secure settings working with women across London. These resources comprise of a hardback journal, a set of strength cards, and a blank greetings card.
Revisions to Fathers Inside have continued despite delivery being paused for most of the year. The final version of the complete FI manual and training resources is almost ready for production.
With new technology and socially distanced experiences in mind, we began to design and deliver services for a new online world. Two weeks later, we held our first public Reflective Group, Great Minds- a space open to everyone, designed to encourage and support collective reflection for personal and professional development. From England to Mexico, Ireland to the United States, group members came together to think about their emotional responses, thoughts, ideas and concerns during the Covid-19 pandemic. We brought back Great Minds in April, after ending it in December, for a time-bound 8 week run, which provided a further space for reflection.
Covid-19 exacerbated the already significant barriers to positive family ties faced by people in prison and we recognised family support would be more crucial than ever. In consultation with colleagues in secure settings, we began the developed Family Focus, a family relationships programme designed for self-directed/in-cell learning. The programme has been designed in order to sustain a focus on family relationships for men unable to access group work at the moment. These resources act as both engagement tools for face-to-face group work when it returns, and stand-alone personal development materials.
In 2020 Safe Ground was invited by the Prisoner Learning Alliance (PLA) to host a once monthly reflective practice group for prison-based educators among their membership, called The Common Room. Participants with a broad range of experience as teachers working in secure settings joined us online from all over the country to reflect as a group on their experiences of, and their relationships to their work. Safe Ground continues to work closely with the PLA to evaluate the need and the impact of these processes for educators among their membership.
The bid we submitted to design a new community programme with the London Health Partnership was successful. The Comfort Zone was designed as an online therapeutic creative reading and writing programme for residents in Merton suffering from social isolation and low-level mental health issues. Delivery will begin in 2021.
Over the year we have continued to contribute to policy and practice through a range of formal and informal routes; contributing to important conversations around the new Probation contracts with HMPPS, participating in online events and conferences with Voice of the Child, Centre for Crime and Justice Studies and MizogArts.

SAFE GROUND (REGISTERED NUMBER: 03080847)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review and reserves
Income for the period was £281,963 (2021: £229,652). Expenditure was £225,969 (2021: £192,984).
The surplus for the period was £55,994 (2021: £36,668).
Reserves carried forward at the year end are £193,143 (2021: £137,149) of which £163,334 (2021: £122,313) is unrestricted and £29,809 (2021: £14,836) is restricted.
Safe Ground's reserves policy aims to maintain a level of unrestricted reserves which will enable it to meet its future commitments and ensure that there are adequate funds to run the charity for a period of at least six months, having regard to the requirements of its planned projects. Management and Trustees maintain a consistent and vigilant review of the financial health and well being of the organisation.
In the last financial year, Safe Ground's expenditure against its unrestricted funds amounted to £197,244 (2021: £163,110). At 31 March 2022, the charity's unrestricted reserves amounted to £163,334 (2021: £122,313). This level of reserves is therefore more than sufficient to meet the charity's reserves policy.
This level of unrestricted reserves has been built up over the last few years and has permitted the charity to continue to fund its core development plans during a period when the funding for such expenditure has become ever more restricted. Contract income within and across the secure estate and prison education commissioning are both expected to increase over the next year which the Trustees hope will again deliver increasing contributions towards core costs.
The Trustees were satisfied of the charity's ability to continue as a going concern and continue to monitor income and the reserves position. The board are also exploring the potential for a merger with a like minded charity..
Principal risks and uncertainties
Although Covid 19 curtailed much of our in person work in 2020, we adapted many of our programmes and feel prepared for 2022. Alongside our extensive activities during the lockdown period, we have been able to continue to plan and develop future work. We have a solid basis for our financial position over the next 12 months with a good base of secured income and a large range of possible new opportunities for development. Covid 19 has limited financial impact on this financial year.
The impact of Covid 19 on people in prison and their families is a priority concern for Safe Ground. Our work and function is only significant if it can support people in crisis or in need of our services. The risks facing Safe Ground for the year ahead continue to be financial stability- particularly in the context of a period of hiatus for all delivery and impact collection, funding priorities and access to our network of delivery sites for development work.
The Trustees decided not to implement the furlough scheme, but in consultation with the team, we decided to reduce our hours and continue to deliver quality services. As a result of this decision we have been able to ensure the impact of a range of new and existing interventions outlined above. The staff team have made a huge contribution and sacrifice to the organisation, and this may lead to a retention risk in the year ahead.
There are several new areas of work developing for us in the year ahead, all at early stages of agreement but significant as contributions to the new Probation formulation, new partnerships and delivery sites and we look forward to those coming to fruition efficiently. There is always a risk that work in advanced discussion can fail to materialise and for a small organisation like Safe Ground, often cashflow and projections seem not to correlate. While we are used to the perennial risks of delivering high quality services in an increasingly price focused environment, now more than ever we are aware of the risks ahead. The Trustees are engaged and actively involved in strategic thinking and planning and we work to future proof the organisation with our approach. We intend to improve our communications, raise our profile and sustain our impact, driving commissioning and philanthropic funding and transforming individual, group and institutional dynamics.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
FUTURE PLANS
The New Normal: We await confirmation of the awards from Arts Council England for The New Normal project. We have begun to partner with relevant agencies to develop pioneering, accessible and engaging material for people in prison via digital routes. We are at the start of this with HMP Berwyn & HMP Wayland and are keen to work with HMPPS and others to create resources that can act as engagement, follow up, and complimentary resources to our face-to-face work on relationships, during, and after, the Covid19 restrictions. This project will see us work with prison education providers, in-cell TV providers, people in prison and their family members, Ministry of Justice and HMPPS representatives, artists, facilitators and broadcasters to design a complete module ready for production and inclusion in 'virtual' learning environments.
Reed in Partnership: Safe Ground to work with Reed in Partnership to deliver Human Citizenship and Community & Social Activities at the Croydon Activity Hub over a 28-month period to begin in June 2021.
New delivery with the Forward Trust in Health and Well Being probation contracts is in advanced negotiation due to begin in June 2021 for four years.
In Prisons: For 2022, despite the huge impact Covid 19 has had on people in prison and their families, we have a significant amount of relevant work in planning, and are ready to deliver our programmes face to face when this becomes available. HMP Parc will continue to deliver Fathers Inside and Man Up across two separate age groups on site. Covid is less of an interruption to delivery in this establishment as internal staff deliver with the support of Safe Ground team members on a quality assurance basis. We have contracted delivery of Man Up and Fathers Inside across both HMPs Wayland and Norwich. We will deliver these programmes as soon as appropriate.
Our Own Stories: is planned to continue until at least March 2022 and we very much hope to extend the service and develop an alumni package for women participants.
We will continue to publish our regular series of blogs (Critical Care) in coordination with The Zahid Mubarek Trust and Project 507 on the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies website.
