SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees of Southside Family Project present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.
The financial statements comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities issued in 2019 (SORP FRS 102), the Charities Act (2011) and the Companies Act (2006).
Governing document
Southside Family Project was constituted as a company limited by guarantee on 9[th] May 1997. The governing documents are the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Public Benefit
All our charitable activities focus on the need to safeguard children, young people and adults with multiple and complex difficulties. These include victims of domestic abuse and families which may include a parent or carer with long term mental health problems; substance abuse; domestic abuse; child sexual abuse; depression and self-harm; serious problems with education such as nonattendance or severe behaviour problems in school; victimised or harassed in their communities and generally in a state of on-going crisis. Many are families and individuals who are unable to engage with or make use of professional services.
Southside has a strong track record over twenty-five years supporting thousands of individuals and families who have experienced trauma through violence, abuse and neglect, helping them to find the safety, resilience, wellbeing, relationships, connections and identity they need.
In setting the aims and objectives of Southside Family Project, the trustees have complied with their duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
Board of trustees
The members of the company consist solely of the trustees who act as the management committee. Trustees are appointed by election at the Annual General Meeting.
Prospective trustees can only be considered for election if they have been nominated in writing by an existing trustee and have declared themselves willing to stand for election in writing.
At any point during the year, the board may appoint further trustees, however, such persons will only remain in office until the next AGM, when they can stand for formal election to a full term of office.
All members of the trustees give their time voluntarily and received no benefits from the charity. Note 7 in the accounts shows that no expenses were claimed by the trustees during the year.

SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees have four scheduled meetings each year and meets on other occasions as required where they look at:
-
Current business and strategic review
-
Operational performance review
-
Financial performance against annual plans and budgets
-
Risk management
The trustees seek to ensure that the needs of the charity are reflected through the diversity and experience of the trustee body. The charity encourages and invites people from the local community, both professional and service users to work as trustees.
Risk management
Southside Family Project has an established risk register that is reviewed annually. This register reviews all the major risks to which the charity is exposed and where appropriate shows the systems or procedures have been established to manage the risks Southside Family Project faces.
Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors.
Operational management
The day-to-day management for the charity is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer, Penny McKissock (CEO) who reports to the Board of trustees. The CEO is supported by an experienced management team, which meets at least once a month.
Remuneration policy
The trustees are responsible for authorising senior management remuneration and do so with reference to benchmark data for similar roles in other charities and other relevant organisations. Southside are committed to family friendly and flexible working practices to promote a good work life balance for staff.
Reserves policy
The charity aims to retain free reserves equivalent to three-six months’ expenditure to enable them to meet any unforeseen costs during the year or cope with unexpected shortfalls in income.
At the end of the current financial year, free reserves were £191,044, equivalent to around three months of expenditure, which adheres to the reserve policy.
Donors
On behalf of the people we help, we would like to thank everyone who provides support through grants and donations, taking part in our raffles or sponsored runs, and volunteering their time and expertise. We would like to thank our funders:

Achievements and performance
During 2021-22, the Covid-19 crisis continued to impact Southside and the individuals, families and communities we support. Our services were delivered flexibly and safely, following local and national guidance. We continued to provide emergency response support through food, resources and crisis support where needed, and helped hundreds of children, young people and adults particularly impacted by lockdowns, restrictions and the impact on local services throughout this difficult year.

SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT
TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
During the year, 269 families with a range of complex problems were referred and received targeted support through the B&NES Council Family Support and Play Service, delivered in partnership with
Bath Area Play Project (BAPP). In addition, we supported hundreds of children, young people and adults already engaged with our activities (over 640 families in total during 2021/22). The Family Support and Play Service was recommissioned by B&NES Council during the year, and we are pleased to report that, in partnership with BAPP, Southside was awarded the new contract, which started in November 2021.
Throughout 2021-22, Southside provided whole family support for children, young people and families facing multiple and complex challenges across our communities, with regular contact, home visits, and groups, working safely within all Covid-19 guidance at the time. Our support helps to strengthen the bond between the children and their parents/carers, building on the strengths, capabilities and resilience of families and communities, through whole family support that enables individuals to take responsibility and help themselves.
Southside’s Therapeutic Play Service provided in-depth therapeutic support for 72 children affected by domestic abuse, trauma and adverse childhood experiences. This support included Therapeutic Children’s Groups, Parent and Child Therapeutic Creative Workshops, and Therapeutic Family Play Sessions. The outcomes included children being better able to communicate their feelings, were more confident in their abilities, and their family relationships improved.
Southside’s Family Food Hub Groups continued to bring people together and provide them with nutritious meals in the heart of local communities throughout the year, following Covid-19 guidelines and our safety procedures. These groups enabled families to enjoy a healthy meal cooked by our professional chef (takeaway/delivery when needed) and to connect with Family Support Workers, volunteers and each other for peer support and opportunities for indoor/outdoor play and creativity.
Southside’s Domestic Abuse services provide targeted support and advocacy for people affected by domestic abuse across B&NES throughout the year. We continued to adapt support and services to work within Covid-19 restrictions and ensure that victims of domestic abuse could continue to access the help and support they needed. Over the year, Southside’s Domestic Abuse services received 576 referrals for both our IDVA (Independent Domestic Violence Advocate) and Support Worker services and our IRIS (Identification and Referral to Improve Safety) service.
Our IRIS service received 154 referrals from GP surgeries in 2021/22 for domestic abuse support. Southside’s IRIS Advocate/Educator also trains health professionals across B&NES to build their knowledge, skills and understanding of domestic abuse to support patients and make referrals.
Southside’s IAN (Information and Navigation) service provided a central point of information, advice and signposting for victims of domestic abuse, friends or family, professionals and local agencies. This open and accessible service provided critical support for victims and people supporting them. IAN workers are highly trained and experienced, providing support and ‘holding’ referrals for victims

of domestic abuse who were not at immediate risk until there is IDVA capacity to take on the case.
Southside’s community volunteering programmes train and engage young people and adults who have used our services to provide peer support and advocacy, using their lived experience. Through Southside’s Building Bridges project, volunteers provided valuable advocacy from their personal lived experience of abuse, trauma and particularly the child protection system, meeting with B&NES Social Care each month to consult and advise on service development. Our Young Advocates met in Twerton throughout the year and co-designed a training programme with our team to build their skills and knowledge. The young people developed their confidence in providing peer support and advocacy, through the training and the support of experienced Southside workers.
During 2021/22, Southside designed, developed and piloted a lived experience Peer Mentoring Scheme to support children who had been exploited, involved in serious violence or were at risk of involvement of serious violence, working in partnership with the VRU (Violence Reduction Unit). Four mentors with lived experience of trauma were recruited and trained to peer mentor eight young people through this pilot project, and the outcomes included increased self-esteem, confidence, and awareness of the choices open to them, healthier relationships, improved behaviour, and decreased likelihood of involvement in serious violence. Southside’s pilot project resulted in recommendations for the future development of this Peer Mentoring Scheme.
Further information included in our Annual Review, available on our website.
Fundraising Activities
Southside Family Project raises funds for services through applications to charitable foundations and trusts, bids for appropriate statutory contracts, supported by individual and corporate donations, and community fundraising activities and support.
The charity employs a part-time Fundraiser, has a Fundraising Complaints Policy and Procedure and adheres to The Code of Fundraising Practice.
Any Fundraising Complaints received by the charity are recorded and acted upon as set out in the procedure. In 2021/22, the charity received no complaints.
Plans for future periods
Supported by a consultant through Lloyds TSB Foundation’s Enhance programme, Southside’s trustees and senior management team are developing the charity’s new Strategic Plan for 2023-25. The growing need for our support and challenging funding environment has been compounded since the end of the financial year through the impact of the Covid and cost-of-living crises. In order to meet this need, Southside continues to work hard to build and diversify our fundraising, raise the charity’s profile, and build long-term support to continue to build our capacity to meet this need.
Southside continues to implement our new Evaluation Framework, measuring outcomes identified in our Theory of Change and ‘distance travelled’ for the individuals and families we support.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
These outcomes contribute to the five impact areas of:
-
Improved Feeling of Safety
-
Improved Family Wellbeing
-
Improved Sense of Identity and Belonging
-
Improved Relationships and Connections
-
Improved Resilience
Data is monitored at assessment, quarterly reviews and end of the work (as well as beginning and end for group work). We also collect qualitative information throughout the monitoring and evaluation work: case studies provide a clear picture of the challenges faced at the start of the work, intensive support provided and developments, the difference this made achieved and outcomes achieved.
Since the end of the financial year, we have seen the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic compounded by the cost-of-living crisis. This has increased fuel/food poverty and the complexity of needs in our local communities through additional financial pressures, trauma and increasing mental and physical health concerns for individuals and families. Building Southside’s organisational resilience through our strategic planning, development and fundraising will enable the charity to continue to provide the support needed, meet these challenges and maximise opportunities to grow our services to meet identified needs.
Financial Impact of Covid-19
Southside secured some additional funding during 2021-22 for additional costs to support individuals and families who were particularly affected by the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, but funding for this support was much more limited than in the first year of the crisis. The charity continues to seek sustainable funding for 2022-23 and beyond to develop this support through additional capacity for our hub groups, whole family support and domestic abuse advocacy and crisis support to meet needs resulting from longer-term effects of the Covid-19 and cost-of-living crises for children, young people, families and victims of domestic abuse in our local communities.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The trustees (who are also directors of Southside Family Project for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
-
Observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP.
-
Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
There is no relevant audit information of which the company auditors are unaware, and
-
The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Southside Family Project (the “Charity”) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the Charity’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s members those matters we are required to state in them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
In our opinion, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 31 March 2022 and of its income and expenditure for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted out audit in accordance with international Standards in Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

The trustees are responsible for the other information.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If based, on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report the fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees’ report (incorporating the strategic report and the directors’ report) have been prepared in accordance with applicable law requirements.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
sufficient accounting records have not been kept;
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations necessary for the purposes of our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the Charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
-
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
-
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge and experience of the sector;
-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements of the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
-
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
-
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance through the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the charity’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
-
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
-
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
-
understanding the design of the charity’s remuneration policies.
11
SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
-
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
-
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
-
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in the accounting policies were indicative of potential bias; and
-
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
-
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
-
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
-
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
-
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify noncompliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at www.frc.org.uk/apb/scope/private.cfm. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

SOUTHSIDE FAMILY PROJECT NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Accounting Policies
- a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2019.
The charity is a Public Benefit entity.
These financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. No material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern have been identified by the Trustees.
-
b) Income from donations/grants is included in income when these are receivable and can be quantified with reasonable accuracy, except as follows:
-
i) When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-condition have been met.
-
c) Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
-
d) Most expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities, and has been included in those cost categories. Support costs have been allocated 100% towards the charitable activities of the charity.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to strategic management of the charity, these costs are included within charitable activities.
- e) Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Computers and office equipment: 33% straight line.
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost and depreciation is calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value over their expected useful lives. Only assets with a cost of more than £1,000 are capitalised.
-
f) Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any discounts due.
-
g) Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
-
h) 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 discounts due.
-
i) Rentals applicable to operating lease agreements where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against profits on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
-
