TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees 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 aims

The charity is established to provide specialist support services to anyone in the area of North Wales who has experienced any form of sexual violence. Its purpose is to provide a confidential therapeutic listening service, counselling, information and support service; to advance the education of the public in the subject of rape and sexual abuse and their effects be they physical, medical, psychological or social.

Whilst RASASC NW recognises that sexual violence is a crime of violence and abuse of power, we also recognise that it is often the cause and consequence of gender inequality. RASASC NW services are available to anyone from the age of 3 that has experienced any form of sexual abuse and/or violence in North Wales.

Significant activities

-To maintain a free and confidential service, which is therapeutic and educational

-To respect the rights of women, men and children who access our service

-Recognition that the survivor is never to blame for being abused

-To offer women only spaces where possible across North Wales

-To support service users in making decisions through counselling, support and information

-To raise awareness of issues related to sexual violence

-To maintain confidentiality within safeguarding boundaries, allowing service users to trust the service we offer

-To evaluate the service on a regular basis and to develop the service in response to the needs of our service users, where possible

Public benefit

The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charities Commission on Public Benefit. This is ensured by:

• Providing support and advocacy to victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse

• By recognising that a number of victims suffer a range of disabilities including mental and emotional wellbeing, physical and/or learning difficulties

• Providing outreach services to promote prevention, awareness raising and support.

• Providing training to others on sexual exploitation awareness.

• Assisting in the research projects of other organisations

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

RASASC NW delivers specialist 'trauma informed' therapy and support to anyone from the age of 3 in North Wales who have experienced any form of sexual abuse/violence, which addresses the immediate, shortand long-term negative effects of sexual abuse. A 'trauma informed' response recognises the full impact that sexual abuse/violence has on someone's life, working with the survivor to address the many negative symptoms they are left with.

RASASC NW delivers specialist 'trauma informed' therapy and support to anyone from the age of 3 in North Wales who have experienced any form of sexual abuse/violence, which addresses the immediate, shortand long-term negative effects of sexual abuse. A 'trauma informed' response recognises the full impact that sexual abuse/violence has on someone's life, working with the survivor to address the many negative symptoms they are left with.

North Wales has some of the highest incidence/statistics relating to rape and child sexual abuse, supporting the need for our service and which helps individuals in North Wales who have experienced sexual violence. The help that we offer our clients has ripple effects that continues throughout society. Therapeutic intervention promotes mental and physical well-being which leads to a reduction in prescribed medication, reduction or overcoming substance misuse, return to work or education, improved parenting, less children put into care, anger management, reduction in criminal behaviour/activity and so on.

*RASASC NW received the highest ever number of new referrals during this financial year, see below:

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

This year has allowed RASASC NW to transform and strengthen, enhancing the sustainability of the organisation. RASASC NW funding continued from Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board, Children in Need, Lloyds Bank Foundation, The Steve Morgan Foundation, The Ministry of Justice, OPCC and The Welsh Government to ensure the continued delivery of RASASC NW services during the COVID-19 pandemic and to meet general increase in demand on RASASC NW services.

Our total income over the year amounted to £629,861 This included grants from 10 sources, donations and fund raising, an increase of £46,984 on the prior year. This was mainly attributable to additional funding sourced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the continuation of RASASC NW services. We are pleased to say that our funding from the Ministry of Justice, The Welsh Government and The PCCO our largest funding sources, will continue until 2023.

We saw a significant increase in expenditure in the staffing costs in the year due to the restructuring by the organisation and the continued appointment of the lead clinician and RASASC NW trainer, new posts including employed RASASC NW counsellors as well as a RASASC NW ISVA and a RASASC NW Live Fear Free sexual violence specialist were also introduced. Along with this training, and IT/Computer costs were still at a significant increased rate in comparison to pre covid years. The investments made in these areas has enhanced the accessibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of RASASC NW therapeutic services.

The total expenditure during the year rose significantly in most areas, correlating with additional funding sourced.

Reserves policy

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires:

• Reserves to be maintained at a level which ensures that 3 months organisation core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty.

• The charity made a surplus of £2,988 during the year on unrestricted funds increasing the amounts available to £204,215. Restricted funds on 31 March 2022 stood at £257,012, of which £156,000 relates to the property held, and £29,500 relates to the van, which was bought during the year, the remaining £71,512 relates to committed funds to be spent in the next financial year.

• The free reserves of the charity (unrestricted funds less amounts invested in fixed assets) amount to £190,034 which exceeds the 3 months running costs of £170,000 and allows for redundancy costs. The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves but will seek to increase these to ensure 6 months of funding for the organisation's core activity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

RASASC NW believes that for the Board of Trustees to be fit for purpose, it must be comprised of individuals that possess a range of skills and experiences that will enable them to effectively fulfil their individual role on the board. For the Board of Trustees to remain relevant it must encompass new ideas and continually seek to refresh policies and procedures in line with the wants and needs of the organisation's users and partners. To this end it is important that the Board of Trustees is able to regularly recruit new members whilst retaining the stability to govern the organisation.

New Trustees can be recruited at any time. The Board of Trustees will need to ensure that the makeup of the Board sits within the criteria laid down in the Constitution and Mission Statement. They will need to determine if the nominee has the skills and ability to fulfil the role as detailed in the "Roles and Responsibilities of a Trustee" and that they fulfil the legal requirements to be a Charitable Trustee. This will be done through the process detailed in the Trustees Recruitment Procedure.

Any candidate whose application is successful will be invited by the Chair of Trustees to join the Board of Trustees at the next Board Meeting so that the candidate can establish what being a Trustee of RASASC NW entails.

Risk management

RASASC NW is very grateful to all our funders who have enabled us to maintain and enhance our services and provide contact and support with our clients. However, a significant amount of our funding is for a relatively short period of between one and three years. This can make future planning for sustainability difficult in this challenging economic climate.

RASASC NW has an ongoing funding strategy and action plan to mitigate the loss of funding. We strive to diversify funding sources as part of the ongoing strategic aims.

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurances against fraud and error.

The Senior Management Team are undertaking regular reviews of an operational and strategic risk register, and a strategic risk register is reported to the Board on a regular basis.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RASASC NW

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of RASASC NW

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of RASASC NW (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ACCA 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:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts 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.

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 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees 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 aims

The charity is established to provide specialist support services to anyone in the area of North Wales who has experienced any form of sexual violence. Its purpose is to provide a confidential therapeutic listening service, counselling, information and support service; to advance the education of the public in the subject of rape and sexual abuse and their effects be they physical, medical, psychological or social.

Whilst RASASC NW recognises that sexual violence is a crime of violence and abuse of power, we also recognise that it is often the cause and consequence of gender inequality. RASASC NW services are available to anyone from the age of 3 that has experienced any form of sexual abuse and/or violence in North Wales.

Significant activities

-To maintain a free and confidential service, which is therapeutic and educational

-To respect the rights of women, men and children who access our service

-Recognition that the survivor is never to blame for being abused

-To offer women only spaces where possible across North Wales

-To support service users in making decisions through counselling, support and information

-To raise awareness of issues related to sexual violence

-To maintain confidentiality within safeguarding boundaries, allowing service users to trust the service we offer

-To evaluate the service on a regular basis and to develop the service in response to the needs of our service users, where possible

Public benefit

The Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charities Commission on Public Benefit. This is ensured by:

• Providing support and advocacy to victims and survivors of sexual violence and abuse

• By recognising that a number of victims suffer a range of disabilities including mental and emotional wellbeing, physical and/or learning difficulties

• Providing outreach services to promote prevention, awareness raising and support.

• Providing training to others on sexual exploitation awareness.

• Assisting in the research projects of other organisations

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

RASASC NW delivers specialist 'trauma informed' therapy and support to anyone from the age of 3 in North Wales who have experienced any form of sexual abuse/violence, which addresses the immediate, shortand long-term negative effects of sexual abuse. A 'trauma informed' response recognises the full impact that sexual abuse/violence has on someone's life, working with the survivor to address the many negative symptoms they are left with.

RASASC NW delivers specialist 'trauma informed' therapy and support to anyone from the age of 3 in North Wales who have experienced any form of sexual abuse/violence, which addresses the immediate, shortand long-term negative effects of sexual abuse. A 'trauma informed' response recognises the full impact that sexual abuse/violence has on someone's life, working with the survivor to address the many negative symptoms they are left with.

North Wales has some of the highest incidence/statistics relating to rape and child sexual abuse, supporting the need for our service and which helps individuals in North Wales who have experienced sexual violence. The help that we offer our clients has ripple effects that continues throughout society. Therapeutic intervention promotes mental and physical well-being which leads to a reduction in prescribed medication, reduction or overcoming substance misuse, return to work or education, improved parenting, less children put into care, anger management, reduction in criminal behaviour/activity and so on.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

This year has allowed RASASC NW to transform and strengthen, enhancing the sustainability of the organisation. RASASC NW funding continued from Betsi Cadwaladr Health Board, Children in Need, Lloyds Bank Foundation, The Steve Morgan Foundation, The Ministry of Justice, OPCC and The Welsh Government to ensure the continued delivery of RASASC NW services during the COVID-19 pandemic and to meet general increase in demand on RASASC NW services.

Our total income over the year amounted to £629,861 This included grants from 10 sources, donations and fund raising, an increase of £46,984 on the prior year. This was mainly attributable to additional funding sourced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the continuation of RASASC NW services. We are pleased to say that our funding from the Ministry of Justice, The Welsh Government and The PCCO our largest funding sources, will continue until 2023.

We saw a significant increase in expenditure in the staffing costs in the year due to the restructuring by the organisation and the continued appointment of the lead clinician and RASASC NW trainer, new posts including employed RASASC NW counsellors as well as a RASASC NW ISVA and a RASASC NW Live Fear Free sexual violence specialist were also introduced. Along with this training, and IT/Computer costs were still at a significant increased rate in comparison to pre covid years. The investments made in these areas has enhanced the accessibility, efficiency, and effectiveness of RASASC NW therapeutic services.

The total expenditure during the year rose significantly in most areas, correlating with additional funding sourced.

Reserves policy

The trustees have set a reserves policy which requires:

• Reserves to be maintained at a level which ensures that 3 months organisation core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty.

• The charity made a surplus of £2,988 during the year on unrestricted funds increasing the amounts available to £204,215. Restricted funds on 31 March 2022 stood at £257,012, of which £156,000 relates to the property held, and £29,500 relates to the van, which was bought during the year, the remaining £71,512 relates to committed funds to be spent in the next financial year.

• The free reserves of the charity (unrestricted funds less amounts invested in fixed assets) amount to £190,034 which exceeds the 3 months running costs of £170,000 and allows for redundancy costs. The trustees are satisfied with the level of reserves but will seek to increase these to ensure 6 months of funding for the organisation's core activity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

RASASC NW believes that for the Board of Trustees to be fit for purpose, it must be comprised of individuals that possess a range of skills and experiences that will enable them to effectively fulfil their individual role on the board. For the Board of Trustees to remain relevant it must encompass new ideas and continually seek to refresh policies and procedures in line with the wants and needs of the organisation's users and partners. To this end it is important that the Board of Trustees is able to regularly recruit new members whilst retaining the stability to govern the organisation.

New Trustees can be recruited at any time. The Board of Trustees will need to ensure that the makeup of the Board sits within the criteria laid down in the Constitution and Mission Statement. They will need to determine if the nominee has the skills and ability to fulfil the role as detailed in the "Roles and Responsibilities of a Trustee" and that they fulfil the legal requirements to be a Charitable Trustee. This will be done through the process detailed in the Trustees Recruitment Procedure.

Any candidate whose application is successful will be invited by the Chair of Trustees to join the Board of Trustees at the next Board Meeting so that the candidate can establish what being a Trustee of RASASC NW entails.

Risk management

RASASC NW is very grateful to all our funders who have enabled us to maintain and enhance our services and provide contact and support with our clients. However, a significant amount of our funding is for a relatively short period of between one and three years. This can make future planning for sustainability difficult in this challenging economic climate.

RASASC NW has an ongoing funding strategy and action plan to mitigate the loss of funding. We strive to diversify funding sources as part of the ongoing strategic aims.

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurances against fraud and error.

The Senior Management Team are undertaking regular reviews of an operational and strategic risk register, and a strategic risk register is reported to the Board on a regular basis.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RASASC NW

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of RASASC NW

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of RASASC NW (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ACCA 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:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3. the accounts 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, 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 Charities Act 2011. 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 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
