DIRECTOR’S REPORT FOR 2020 (DRAFT JUNE 2021)
During 2020, our Director’s work continued to focus on education, prevention and support activities that address the problems of substance and gambling addiction and the harm these cause to individuals and those close to them. Broadly speaking, our activities and events benefit the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), while our materials and written contributions are available both for Quakers and for wider public benefit.
1. FRIENDS AND MEETINGS
Supporting Friends is an important element of our work. We provide both individual support and opportunities for Friends to engage with each other through our biennial Woodbrooke conference, QAADNET meetings, and facilitated gatherings at Local or Area meetings and other Quaker events. Our Woodbrooke conference was cancelled this year due to COVID-19 and we decided instead to plan an online event to be run in early 2021.
This year, QAAD has continued to offer support to individual Friends who approach us. Some have current or past personal experience of substance and/or gambling problems; others are family members or friends (‘close others’) who have been affected. The needs of close others are often neglected or under resourced by support services and there is growing recognition of the serious impact of coping with another’s addiction. For all, we offer information and advice about sources of help and support, and sometimes arrange confidential contact with willing and informed Friends. Some of these are members of the 12Step fellowships, whilst others have found other helpful approaches and sources of support.
2. WORK WITH YOUNG FRIENDS
We have ongoing concern about the particular vulnerability of children, adolescents and young adults regarding substance use and gambling. National and international surveys suggest drinking alcohol has reduced in recent generations overall, but use of other substances, particularly cannabis, remains high and engagement in gambling (and gaming which includes gambling elements) is growing.
In May, QAAD was invited by Kirsty Philbrick (Bristol/South West Youth Development Worker) to contribute to a session for her West Young Friends Action Network (WYFAN) youth group. This was a lively online session during which our Director ran a quiz to stimulate discussion about substance use and its impact.
QAAD is a member of the Quaker Youth Work Network group, convened by the Children and Young People’s Section. QAAD has continued to attend the Network’s quarterly meetings and occasional events to share our concerns whilst learning about colleagues’ work with young Friends around the country.
1
We are actively exploring how best to support young and young adult Friends affected by their own or another’s addiction problems. Due to COVID-19, it was not possible to run workshops planned for students and parents/carers at Sidcot School. We hope it will be possible to return to this opportunity, and to engage with other Quaker schools to offer our support and resources.
3. PUBLIC ISSUES
QAAD continued to research and raise awareness of preventative and treatment measures that would work for the public benefit in terms of promoting health and well-being.
COVID-19
The pandemic has created unique and serious pressures for many Friends and in our communities. . Emerging evidence suggests that some people have increased their use of alcohol and/or other drugs and gambling during lockdown, particularly if they had already been struggling with these issues. It will be some time before the full extent of the impact is known and QAAD will monitor research and insights to inform our future work.
In April, QAAD contributed an article for the Friend (‘ Four short words’ ) which talked about the potential impact of the Spring lockdown on people with alcoholrelated problems and close others.
The increased availability of online events across the country during lockdown has enabled our Director to attend a wider range of meetings and seminars than in previous years, including those held in Scotland and Wales.
Gambling
Public awareness and concern is growing about the extent of the industry’s advertising and sports sponsorship, the shift of gambling products online, and risks to young people of games containing gambling elements. We have continued to stress the need for an evidence-based, public health approach to improve prevention, support and treatment, particularly for young people, those with complex needs, and economically deprived communities.
In 2020, there was further, welcome progress in regulatory reform including changes to online gambling products e.g. reduced spin speeds, and the banning of credit cards for online and terrestrial gambling in April.
QAAD responded to the Gambling Commission’s consultation on proposed changes to stakes and prize limits for society lotteries, challenging the suggested significant increases in the amounts charities can raise and value of prizes they can offer. We also responded to the consultation on High Value (or VIP) customer accounts, calling for these to be banned or, if not carried, a significant strengthening of regulations to protect these customers.
Our Director represented QAAD at several events during the year, including meetings of the Gambling Health Alliance and Peers for Gambling Reform, and the first year celebration of Gambling with Lives, a charity campaigning for recognition of the extent and impact of gambling-related suicide. We have also continued to meet regularly with ecumenical colleagues through the Faith Action on Gambling Harm group to share our concerns and the progress of our work.
Substance Use and Misuse
2
In February, QAAD responded to the Commission on Alcohol Harm’s national inquiry into the effects of alcohol on society. We focused on the impact on close others, including children and young people, the need to restrict promotions and advertising, and co-morbidities with other addictions.
Minimum Unit Pricing (MUP) for alcohol was introduced in Wales in April, following its introduction in Scotland (2018). Scotland’s Year 1 evaluation found that overall off-sales fell by nearly 4%, although consumption remains higher than the rest of the UK. QAAD will add its voice to those who calling for MUP in England, although the UK government has no current plans to do so.
Our Director attended a range of seminars on substance use and related harm this year. These included the specific challenges for women drug users during COVID; problematic substance use in later life; and alcohol, mental health and complex needs. Such events have helped to increase our understanding of current research and lived experience, and brought QAAD into contact with professionals and academics working within our areas of concern.
We continue to monitor UK and international evidence regarding the use and impact of illegal and prescribed drugs, in particular the legalisation of medicinal and recreational cannabis. Developing a robust understanding of the risks and the lived experiences of drug users and close others enables QAAD to inform and support Friends and to engage in ongoing discussions about the potential impact of future changes to drug policy.
QAADRANT and our website
Our quarterly newsletter, QAADRANT , is circulated with The Friend and through our own channels including digitally on our website. It aims to balance personal insights with news updates and informative articles about current issues related to our concerns. Over the past year, we have been pleased to receive many insightful and interesting contributions and positive feedback from Friends. We remain very grateful to our editors for their careful and valuable work. QAAD’s website www.qaad.org carries news of our activities and events, and acts as a platform for our educational, resource, and briefing materials for public benefit.
4. Trustee developments
Throughout the year, our Director has been greatly supported in her work by trustees within the Support Group, the QAADRANT editorial group, and by the wider trustee body.
Trustees have met regularly during the year. Following the March lockdown, all meetings have been held online via Zoom. Ron Barden, Jon Lyon, and Tim James have continued their valued service as Treasurer, Clerk, and Nominations Clerk respectively.
The trustees are: Ron Barden (Northamptonshire AM); David Barry (Sussex East AM); Eva Deregowska (North Scotland AM); Tim James (Hampshire and the Islands AM); Jon Lyon (Mid-Somerset AM); Christine Pryer (Kingston and Wandsworth AM). We were saddened to hear that our former trustees, Anita Whitfield (West Kent AM) passed away during the summer.

REPORT OF THE BOARD
The Board presents its Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Structure, governance and management
The charity (charity no. 1059310) is a company limited by guarantee and not
having a share capital and was incorporated on 18 September 1996. The company
(company no. 3265669) was established under a Memorandum of Association which
established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed
under its Article of Association. In the event of the company being wound up
members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. The directors of
the company are also the charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. The
minimum number of trustees is three, and one third of trustees are subject to
retirement by rotation at the annual general meeting. Trustees are appointed by
existing trustees.
Objectives and activities
The charity seeks to advance public education about all aspects of the use and
misuse of alcohol, other drugs and gambling.
The aims of the charity are:
To provide education on the misuse of alcohol, drugs and gambling
To assist with the prevention and treatment of alcohol, drug and
gambling related problems
To promote public awareness of the problems of alcohol, drugs and
gambling
The trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidelines on public
benefit and believe the requirements are met as the activities are open to the
public and are for public benefit.
Achievements and performance
During the year, income from investments and donations was principally applied in
the form of a Director and publicity in furtherance of the charitable objects of
the charity.
Financial review
The charity is reliant on income from investments and donations from individuals,
trusts and Quaker Meetings and the realisation of investment assets to carry out
its charitable activity.
The company has a policy of maintaining reserves equivalent to three months
expenditure. The current level of unrestricted reserves is considered to be
satisfactory.
Plans for the future
Plans are to publicise the work of the charity through the sale of books and
through other literature and to pursue our objectives as stated.
State of Affairs and Future Prospects
Details of the income and expenditure for the year are given in the Statement of
Financial Activities below. The Charity’s financial position on 31 December 2020
is set out in the Balance Sheet on page 4. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with their related notes. In the opinion of the Board the
future prospects of the Charity are satisfactory.
REPORT OF THE BOARD (continued)
Board
The Membership of the Board during 2020 was as follows:-
Trustees:

and David Barry.
Tim James, Jon Lyon and Ron Barden retire at the Annual General
Meeting and being eligible, offer themselves for re-nomination.
Responsibilities of the Board
Company law requires the Board each financial year to prepare
financial statements, which give a true and fair view of the state of
affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit of income over
expenditure for
the year. In the preparation of these statements the Board must make
judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, must follow
suitable and consistent accounting policies, follow applicable
accounting standards, subject to any material departure disclosed and
explained in the financial statements, and must apply the going
concern basis unless it is inappropriate. The Board is also
responsible for keeping proper accounting records in accordance with
company law, for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and for
taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities.
In preparing these accounts we hereby confirm:-
(a) that for the year in question the company was entitled to the
exemption conferred by section 477 of the Companies Act 2006;
(b) that no notice has been deposited at the registered office of the company pursuant to section 476 requesting that an audit be conducted for the year ended 31 December 2020.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
To the trustees of Quaker Action on Alcohol and Drugs
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020,
which are set out on pages 1 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of
company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145
of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is
needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company
law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 130 of the Act; -
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 of the Act; and -
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the
Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also
includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and
seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and
consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair
view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the
requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the
Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts, which accord with the accounting
records, comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with the
methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and
Reporting by Charities (revised 2005) have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
