## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **REFERENCE & ADMINISTRATION DETAILS continued** 

The Board of Trustees, who are also Directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. The financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities, Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2015) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **FOREWORD – by the** _**Survive**_ **CEO Mags Godderidge** 

It has been another year of client growth for _Survive_ . More survivors of sexual violence sought out our specialist services than ever before. 

Last year, _Survive_ had 11,172 contacts with 1,589 unique individuals; conducted 721 initial assessments; and delivered 4,095 counselling or support work sessions. What is so extraordinary is that we achieved all this with just 10 full-time equivalent staff, 4 volunteers and 7 trustees. _Survive_ could not do what it does without the dedication and commitment of its staff, volunteers and trustees. I am so grateful to every one of them without whom _Survive_ could not operate. In addition to their individual skills and knowledge, they bring compassion, kindness and hope to survivors. 

During the reporting period, _Survive_ received 933 new referrals – a 40% increase in the previous year. Around half of these new referrals (51%) came via the Office for Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC) funded Victims of Crime contract and around a fifth came from the NHS (23%) or were self-referrals (22%). The largest percentage increase in source of new referrals was self-referrals - up from 2.5% in 2021/22. This unprecedented demand for our specialist, trauma-informed services and surge in self-referrals was likely driven by the intense local, regional and national focus on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG), the publication of the final report by Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) and continued publicity and media coverage surrounding sexual violence. 

Against the backdrop of increased demand and a cost-of living crisis, _Survive_ achieved a great deal: we increased capacity and saw more survivors more quickly. In addition, we adopted hybrid delivery of services; better evidenced survivor outcomes; and improved recruitment processes to attract diverse talent. We continued to invest in our people and deliver initiatives to make _Survive_ a great place to work. We secured BACP membership and started The Survivors’ Trust (TST) accreditation process. We also contributed to relevant steering groups, networks and partnerships. 

As part of our courageous advocacy value, we shone a spotlight on sexual violence, its impact and the need for compassion and long-term funded support for survivors. 

_Survive_ welcomed new guidance issued by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) in May 2022 meaning survivors can now choose to access therapy before and during a trial. However, we have not welcomed the increase in requests from Police and prosecutors for access to survivor’s counselling records. It is intrusive, retraumatising and in most cases, unnecessary and disproportionate.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **FOREWORD continued** 

_Survive_ is also concerned by an emerging pattern of prosecutors telling survivors that final charging decisions will be based on the content of counselling records. We have updated our disclosure policy and stand with survivors in keeping information, that is almost certainly special category data, private and will robustly rebuff any such information requests. We will lobby relevant authorities to highlight and challenge this and seek changes in practice. 

Towards the end of the reporting period, we reapplied to the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Fund (RASAF), retendered for the OPFCC Victims of Crime contract and bid for new NHS Integrated Care System (ICS) funding. I am delighted to report that all three were successful, however, these funds alone will not be enough to cover the surge in demand for our services. At the present time, there are around 350 survivors waiting for our support. We hope the current UK-wide focus on VAWG will create heightened awareness of the need for more funding to help agencies like ours help even more survivors. 

At the heart of what we do are the survivors - individuals who through no fault of their own have had their lives turned upside down and changed forever because of a heinous crime committed on them. I remain moved and inspired by their bravery and courage – each one on their own personal journey. I am humbled by the trust they place in _Survive_ to help them to come to terms with what has happened to them and will continue to do whatever it takes to get them the support they need to rebuild their lives, relationships and reach their potential. 

## **OUR OBJECTIVES** 

Taken from the _Survive Memorandum of Association_ as updated and approved at the Annual General Meeting held in October 2021: 

- The objects of the company (charity) shall be to relieve the needs of individuals affected by sexual and domestic violence by: 1. Providing support to alleviate the trauma and distress caused by sexual violence including rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse and any other form of sexual violence (wherever it occurs) including that which occurs within domestic violence and to alleviate the trauma and distress caused by domestic violence; 

- 2. Offering a comprehensive range of therapeutic support, help, assistance and interventions to survivors and their families, in order to help them to rebuild their lives after the trauma and distress caused by sexual violence; 

- 3. Advocating for those who have experienced sexual violence (in whatever form, and wherever it may have occurred); 

- 4. Educating and raising awareness about the issues surrounding sexual violence and its impact on individuals to reduce and eradicate all forms of sexual violence; 

- 5. or through any other mechanism(s) agreed by the trustees in accordance with the charity's objects.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **OUR VISION, MISSION & VALUES** 

Our Vision is for all adults who have been subjected to rape, sexual assault, or child sexual abuse (CSA) to have access to our highly valued services to find relief from distress, discover self-worth, reconnect with lives and relationships, and explore and achieve their full potential. 

Our Mission is to work to help adult survivors of rape, sexual assault or child sexual abuse rebuild their lives, relationships and reach their potential by delivering specialist, traumainformed services. 

Our Values underpin everything we do – from our work with clients to our interactions with stakeholders to our statements to the media: 

|Integrity|At all times,_Survive_will strive to communicate in an open, honest, and<br>transparent way. Our relationships with survivors will be based on mutual<br>respect and trust. We will offer a safe space to survivors of sexual trauma<br>where they can explore and talk about what has happened to them.|
|---|---|
|Inclusive|_Survive’s_ethos is that everyone is equal. We respect differences while<br>embracing diversity.|
|Enabling|_Survive_believes in survivor autonomy. We believe survivors are best placed<br>to know what they need. We facilitate their exploration of options to make<br>informed decisions. We put survivors at the heart of what we do. We develop<br>and deliver a range of accessible, quality and evidenced-based services and<br>innovate to meet the changing needs of survivors. By offering autonomy, we<br>not only offer informed choices, we build confidence.|
|Hope|_Survive_strives to be compassionate in all that we do. We offer hope for<br>positive change by helping our clients make sense of what has happened to<br>them and reduce their feelings of isolation. By promoting self-worth, we help<br>survivors find relief from the pain caused by sexual trauma and paths to<br>reconnect with their lives and relationships.|
|Courageous<br>Advocacy|_Survive_will challenge those who do not support survivors. We will strive to<br>raise awareness in all communities of the signs, prevalence and impact of<br>sexual trauma including that which occurs between those who are or have<br>been intimate partners. As the voice of survivors, we will challenge myths<br>about sexual abuse. We will challenge and educate those in authority, in<br>communities and in institutions to help them understand the pain of sexual<br>trauma.|

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **OUR PERFORMANCE IN 2022-23 continued** 

## **Increased capacity** 

We saw unprecedented demand for _Survive’s_ specialist trauma-informed services. In 2022/23, _Survive_ received 933 new referrals – up 40% on the previous year (668 in 2021/22 and 544 in 2020/21). Referrals via the OPFCC-funded Supporting Victims Team increased by 17% to 471 having been relatively static for the two previous years (404 in 2021/22 and 400 in 2020/21). Referrals from the NHS increased to 219 up from 148 in 2021/22 and 60 in 2020/21. The largest percentage increase was seen in self-referrals - up from 2.5% in 2021/22 to 22% of all new referrals in 2022/23. This unprecedented demand for our services has likely been driven by local, regional and national focus on Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) strategies encouraging women and girls to report sexual violence to the Police and seek help to cope and recover from the impact. In response to this unprecedented demand, we secured additional funding from the OPFCC for trauma therapy only and additional funds from the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) which allowed us to increase capacity by expanding our team of counsellors and trauma/EMDR therapists. 

## **Set-up client journey working group** 

We started work on identifying system improvements to help us increase capacity further to respond to demand for our service. 

## **Continued to deliver the OPFCC contract for Victims of Crime** 

_Survive_ continued to deliver counselling to survivors of sexual and/or domestic abuse in York and North Yorkshire (excluding Ryedale) under the OPFCC funded contract and continued to sub-contract other Victims of Crimes with enhanced entitlements to Community Counselling Limited. 

## **Helped survivors make informed decisions** 

We launched our new _Choices_ services for current and former clients to help survivors make informed decisions about their options including, though not limited to, reporting, not reporting, supplying anonymous intelligence or engaging with Restorative Justice. We helped clients make informed decisions about whether to disclose some, none or all of their counselling records to the Police and prosecutors and, when asked to do so by clients and former clients, provided them with bespoke reports. We also installed a translation tool on our website - to make information about our services more accessible. 

## **Adopted hybrid delivery of services ongoing** 

We moved to hybrid delivery of services ongoing giving survivors a choice of accessing services face-to-face, online or via telephone or a combination of these to suit their needs. 

## **Changed operating hours of Helpline** 

We changed the operating hours from two evenings a week to Monday-Thursdays from 10am to 12 noon and introduced outward bound ‘welfare check’ calls, where appropriate. These changes have resulted in an increase in calls from both survivors and professionals.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **OUR PERFORMANCE IN 2022-23 continued** 

## **Supported survivors in East Riding of Yorkshire** 

We continued to support survivors in the YO41, YO42 and YO43 postcodes of rural East Riding of Yorkshire. 

## **Facilitated specialist support for dual experience clients** 

We continued to facilitate specialist support via an OPFCC-funded Stop So registered therapist for survivors of sexual violence who had also perpetrated or been accused of perpetrating sexual offences. 

## **Evidenced our impact** 

We collated and presented data to third parties about how our services help survivors cope, stabilise, recover, rebuild their lives and thrive. We secured more survivor case studies and also put a case study to film as part of OPFCC-funded VAWG 16 days of action initiative in November 2022. We also made it easier for clients to provide feedback about our services via an online survey. 

## **Improved recruitment processes to attract diverse talent** 

_Survive_ became a disability confident employer meaning those with a disability who met the role criteria were automatically offered an interview at the sifting stage. We also introduced values-based recruitment and shared interview questions with candidates ahead of their interview. We changed where employment, volunteering and trustee opportunities were advertised and successfully recruited people from more diverse backgrounds. 

## **Delivered initiatives to make** _**Survive**_ **a great place to work** 

We continued to deliver initiatives to help make _Survive_ a great place to work and introduced some new ones. We continued to deliver comprehensive inductions to new starters, have annual appraisals for our people, subsidised regular team building activities (e.g. crafting events), had monthly team meetings and issued monthly Team Talk newsletters, funded a health and wellbeing package for staff and contributed 5% to staff pensions. 

In response to the cost-of-living crisis, _Survive_ also shared a tax rebate between all staff as a one-off bonus – based on the number of hours each worked and continued its commitment to being a Real Living Wage employer. We also adopted hybrid working ongoing giving our people the flexibility to sometimes work remotely, contributing to a better work/life balance. 

## **Launched annual wellbeing survey** 

_Survive_ launched an annual wellbeing survey to build on successes and to learn and improve the staff/volunteer experience. 

## **Invested in our people** 

_Survive_ continued to invest in its people. We delivered or facilitated access to training on Vicarious trauma; Working with disabled clients; Working with Interpreters; Dissociative Identity Disorder; Delivering Groupwork; EMDR; Narcissistic Injuries and Neglect in Relational Trauma; ACAS Training for Line Managers; Safeguarding Lead training for all Lead Counsellors; and coaching and mentoring for line managers. We continued to invite guest speakers to monthly meetings to increase our understanding of the work of other organisations in order to better help our clients.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **OUR PERFORMANCE IN 2022-23 continued** 

## **Delivered quality and safe services** 

_Survive_ continued to review and update its practice policies and procedures. During the reporting period, _Survive_ secured BACP membership and started The Survivors Trust (TST) accreditation process. 

## **Contributed to relevant steering groups, networks and partnerships** 

_Survive_ continued membership of the OPFCC Sexual Violence Steering Group; OPFCC VAWG Professionals working group; Humberside VAWG working group; University of York Sexual Violence steering group; PEPSY; joined York Complex Emotional Needs network and North Yorkshire Tees Esk Wear Valley (TEWV) led Complex Emotional Needs network; and joined York CVS VCSE Health Alliance. _Survive_ continued to regularly engage with TEWV – sharing knowledge, learning and a vision of a York and North Yorkshire trauma-informed approach to survivors of sexual violence. _Survive_ also contributed to TST-led meetings and workshops for CEOs, clinical leads, Helplines and ISVAs. 

## **Secured diverse funding** 

During the reporting period, _Survive_ secured funding from, though not limited to: OPFCC Victims of Crime contract; increased MoJ grant; new NHS-ICS funding for a pilot project to trial _Survive_ counsellor/s in GP surgeries; funding to support survivors affected by church abuse; two-year unrestricted funding from Lloyds Bank Foundation; three-year grant from The Purey Cust Trust; a grant from the Shepherd Group Community Support Fund; and donations following a cost-of-living appeal letter. _Survive_ was also the chosen charity partner for the allfemale brass band Femmes Fortissimo and the charity partner for the University of York ROSES 2023 event. 

## **Delivered training and presentations** 

_Survive_ delivered training and presentations to various parties including the National Catholic Safeguarding Conference. 

## **Engaged with the media** 

_Survive_ issued regular press releases and responded to press, TV and radio enquiries and supported the University of York with various activities during Sexual Violence Awareness Week. Following the publication of the final report by the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), we proactively appealed to the Prime Minister to adopt the IICSA recommendations in full. We also highlighted the positive changes to pre-trial therapy guidance allowing survivors to access support before or during a trial based on their individual needs and what they want.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

We are not complacent; there is still much work to do if we are to achieve the noticeable differences laid out in our strategy. In the coming year, we plan to: 

- Secure TST and BACP accreditations; 

- Launch a pilot project in GP surgeries with NHS-ICS funding; 

- Explore a pathway for student survivors; 

- Update our communications plan and fundraising strategy considering the unprecedented demand we are seeing for our services and the financial responsibilities and implications which come with a fast-growing charity; 

- Recruit a marketing and fundraising coordinator to deliver our communications plan, including our social media strategy, eNewsletter and stewardship of our funders and supporters; 

- Commission research to evidence the difference we make to survivors of sexual violence. 

## **GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & ORGANISATION** 

## GOVERNANCE 

The governance of _Survive_ is decreed by the _Memorandum of Association - October 2021_ . Specified in this document are the powers and duties of the Trustees, and of the Members.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **GOVERNANCE, MANAGEMENT & ORGANISATION continued** 

During the reporting period, _Survive_ set up a trustee-led client journey working group to identify system improvements to help _Survive_ further increase capacity to respond to unprecedented demand for our service. We also involved staff, volunteers and trustees in reviewing and updating a review of _Survive’s_ strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) and generated an updated STEEPLE analysis. 

## MANAGEMENT & ORGANISATION 

Executive leadership and management of _Survive_ is vested in the role of CEO. 

The Senior Management Team (SMT) is made up of the CEO, Operations Manager, Counselling Services Manager and Support Services Manager. The SMT meets regularly. 

The composition of the SMT reflects the organisation structure: 

||CEO||
|---|---|---|
||||
|Operations Manager|CounsellingServices Manager|Support Services Manager|
|Administration Team|Counselling Team|Support Work Team|



## Appointment of trustees: 

At the first and every Annual General Meeting, all officers and one-third of the nominated members of the Board of Trustees, or if their number is not a multiple of three then the number nearest to one-third, shall retire from office. The members to retire shall be those longest in office since their last election. Regarding members of the Board of Trustees who have been in office for the same length of time, the members to retire shall be selected by lot. A retiring Board member shall be eligible for re-nomination. Co-opted members of the Board shall retire at the Annual General Meeting following their appointment but shall be eligible for further cooption. 

The Board identifies the need for additional trustees arising from resignations or through the identification of specific requirements for skills and experience. 

Trustee vacancies are publicised in appropriate forums and on the _Survive_ website – they are based on generic or specific role descriptions, as required. Adverts will be placed on specific job boards such as Young Trustees, Queer Trustees, Action for Trustee Racial Diversity UK. 

Prospective trustees can approach the charity of their own volition. Although Survive has a need for Trustees with specific skills and knowledge, a number of positions are generic to achieve a Board with a mix of backgrounds and life experience. 

Prospective Trustees wishing to discuss specific access requirements to enable them to take up the role can contact a named individual – details to be given on the role advert.

The CEO and Trustees of _Survive_ have assessed the risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that processes and systems are have been established to mitigate them and ensure the long-term viability of _Survive_ . Led by the CEO, Risk Management is a standing item on the Board’s agenda and the agendas of the SMT and sub-committee meetings. 

A Business Continuity Policy has been established, and an Incident Management Procedure has been devised. A business continuity test is held annually. 

During the reporting period, _Survive_ continued to monitor and manage risks including the costof-living crisis and its subsequent impact on staff turnover and retention as well as increased costs and a decrease in personal donations. The surge in demand for _Survive’s_ specialist services continued to be a challenge. 

The _Survive_ Risk Register details all risks and mitigations, categorised under the following broad headings:

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

The Trustees have complied with their duty under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The total income for 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2023 was £472,719. This shows an increase of income of £58,393 (+14%) compared to the previous year (£414,326). All funding received has  enabled service delivery and organisational running to provide vital support for our clients. It allowed _Survive_ to continue providing critical support during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, with increased demand for our service and clients referred were often experiencing increasingly complex needs. 

The expenditure over this period was £411,515, with an increase in expenditure of £36,860 (+10%) compared to the previous year (£374,655 expenditure in 2021/22). The net income for 2022/23 is £61,204 and funds brought forward on 1st April 2022 were £203,255. Therefore, the total funds carried forward 31st March 2023 were £264,459.

## **Trustees’ Annual Report** 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

_Survive_ aims to accumulate sufficient free reserves of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets in order to: 

- support those projects, and the general costs of the organisation, where expenditure is incurred before funding is reclaimed; 

- finance development of new activities to the stage where external funding can be obtained; 

- provide time to seek new funding sources at a project's conclusion or facilitate restructuring of the organisation whilst meeting its on-going obligations; 

- meet the costs of a planned closure. 

The Trustees of _Survive_ aim to hold free reserves equivalent to approximately six months budget-level expenditure of unrestricted funds. For the 2023-24 financial year this would equate to free reserves of £250,000 which means that there is a gap in the level of reserves needed of £148,288. The Trustees will aim to increase the level of reserves held during the coming year. 

## **Independent examiner** 

Mr Adrian Rodaway FCA, BFP, DChA of HPH, Chartered Accountants was appointed Independent Examiner to the charity during the year. 

Approved by the Board of Trustees on 20 September 2023 and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Survive (Support for Survivors of Rape and Sexual Abuse)** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and the charitable company’s trustees as a body in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charitable company’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

Since the Company’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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)]. 

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.

## **SURVIVE (SUPPORT FOR SURVIVORS OF RAPE AND SEXUAL ABUSE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a) Legal entity** 

_Survive_ is regulated by the Charity Commission (1069129), limited by guarantee and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office and principal place of business is 2nd Floor, 25 Micklegate, York, YO1 6JH. 

## **b) Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011. 

_Survive_ meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The accounts are presented in UK Sterling pounds (£). 

## **c) Going concern** 

Special consideration has been given to the COVID-19 pandemic impact. The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic climate and its potential impact on the sources of income and planned expenditure. They have a reasonable expectation that adequate financial resources are available to enable the Charity to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and have adequate contingency plans in the event that income streams are reduced. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Charity is a going concern. 

## **d) Income** 

## **Donations** 

Donations receivable for the general purpose of the Charity are credited to "unrestricted funds". Donations for purposes restricted by the wishes of the donor are taken to "restricted funds" where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees. 

## **Other trading activities** 

All other incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Position (SoFA) when the Charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

## **Investment income** 

Investment income has been accounted for on a cash receipt basis.

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **e) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer-term liabilities. Expenditure attributable to more than one cost category is apportioned to them on the basis of the estimated amount attributable to each activity in the year, either by reference to staff time or the use made of the underlying assets, as appropriate. 

Governance costs are costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. They include audit fees and estimated costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity. Support costs are those incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the 

## **f) Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost a minimum of £750. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity less depreciation. 

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their expected useful lives on a straight line basis. The rates used are as follows: 

Computer equipment - 25% straight line Refurbish - 25% straight line 

## **g) Taxation** 

As a registered charity, _Survive_ is exempt from the tax on income falling within sections 466 to 493 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 to the extent that this is applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have arisen in the Company. 

## **h) Fund accounting** 

Funds comprise unrestricted funds which have not been designated for other purposes, and are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in accordance with the charitable objectives. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. 

## **i) Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

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

## **j) Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts d

## **2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **k) Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and any short term deposit accounts with a maturity of three months or less from the date of opening. 

## **l) Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade
