These objectives are achieved by operating The Cambridgeshire Bobby Scheme. ## **Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees** New Trustees are recruited on the basis that they either, represent the beneficiaries of the work of the Trust; are or have been High Sheriff of Cambridgeshire; or represent the Cambridgeshire Constabulary. The work of the Trust is such that the Trustees do not need to receive any specialised awareness training but keep themselves informed by reference to Charity Commission circulars, expert individuals and relevant published reports. ## **Risk Management** The Trust has a published investment policy and financial risk management is undertaken by a sub-committee of three Trustees. Risk Management is an essential element of all operational plans and a full business analysis is prepared for consideration by Trustees prior to major purchases or developmental expenditure. Health and Safety Risk Assessments are undertaken in relation to all the key activities of the Trust and each is reviewed periodically. The Trust insurance company has provided direct support to this process and, additionally, a consultant was engaged to report on every aspect of Trust activity. ## **Public Benefit** The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that all of the activities undertaken by the Charity in pursuance of its objectives are for the benefit of the public. Page 2 **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Achievements and performance** During the beginning of the financial year, Coronavirus took the country and world by storm! The following diary of events paints a clear picture of how the Bobby Scheme operated during this time. 19th March – Notified by the Local Authority – There would be NO face-to-face visits by IDVA’s & government departments. 23rd March – Bobby - Glen Carter was advised to shield by GP (chest infection). 26th March – Bobby - Andy Cleathero was required to isolated for 14 days (wife presented COVID 19 symptoms). 30th March – Chairman, Trustees and Manager closed the Bobby Scheme as per government guidelines. During this time, the Bobby Scheme team maintained weekly wellbeing meetings via Zoom, hosted by the Trust Manager. Regular contact between Chairman, Treasurer and Trust Manager was also maintained. 8th June – The Bobby Scheme reopens to full capacity, with PPE and Covid Risk Assessment. During closure - Victim & Witness Hub contacted police referrals listed on Athena. During the 10 weeks closure a total of 84 victims were contacted by the V&W Hub. The Bobby Scheme took on the mantel of ‘WORKING PROACTIVELY RATHER THAN REACTIVELY’. It was Business as usual covering the following: • Health & Safety- Sourcing and using correct PPE. Social distancing, office staff working from home. Regularly reviewing and updating BS risk assessment according to Government Guidelines. • Health & Wellbeing - Comms the BS continued to give talks to local groups and have any meetings via Zoom & Teams. In partnership with CAPASP a crime prevention Podcast was produced and shared to various partnership websites around the county. BS were invited and took part on 2 occasions to be interviewed on the local BBC Radio Cambridgeshire station. Interviews given by the Trust Manager to promote the Bobby Scheme and talk about crime prevention mainly focusing on Covid Scams. • Track & Trace & Wellbeing – The BS developed its own ‘Track & Trace’ slips to give to victims we visited should they develop Covid following a visit from us. The BS put together some well-being gift bags for victims. These contained our flyer and flyers with useful information of working partners, a Gift Aid envelope as our donations have been low. A laminated card with emergency telephone numbers. Some crime prevention gadgets, a BS pen, some biscuits and individually wrapped tea bags and chocolates. Since this exercise we had received some postal GA donations. Page 3 ## **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** The Bobby Scheme continued to work with CADA and advocacies supporting Domestic Abuse victims and their children. Continued partnership working with Peterborough & Cambridgeshire Against Scams Partnership to create awareness around latest scams, sign posting & supporting victims on any scam related issues. Continued monthly website updates including local information and crime prevention details, scam alerts and good news stories and feedback. The Trust Manager and Treasurer attended a meeting with Nicky Phillipson of the Police Crime Commissioners office in relation to the scheme’s working partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary as there were some concerns that the scheme may be required to enter a tender process to bid for the support we deliver, and funding received to do so from the PCC. The BS sought legal advice around procurement processes and EU law in the event that this would be required should we be required to submit a tender. The BS manager worked closely with Beds Information Rights Manager in completing a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). The outcome demonstrated that the BS are data processors resulting the BS and the force to have an official data processing contract and no tender process will be required. This led to the BS producing a new GDPR policy which is now fully updated. Some processes had changed mainly with document retention; however, this is now fully operational according to the policy. A presentation was given to the PCC showcasing how well the BS worked during the pandemic and the number of different victims supported. **----- Start of picture text -----**

Not being able to get into the house has saved the client from serious harm and gave client a safe place to make that 999 call. Hi I am more than happy to give you some feedback regarding this case.' Thanks to all Kind regards Lisa Pace Cambridgeshire Outreach Worker Page 8 ## **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Feedback & Case Studies from Domestic Abuse Victims (cont.)** ## **CASE STUDY 2 & Feedback from referrer.** **Victim** Female, 26 years old, mental health issues, 3 children under 18 **Situation** – Separated from partner / DV previously heard at MARAC ## **What support our service provided** : Doorbell camera / alarm on door (first floor flat so no need for window alarms) ## **What was the outcome** : Client described feeling safer and more relaxed in her own home. Should there be any more attempts by the perp to turn up at the property she will have evidence to show police. Client had been fearful when out that perp would be waiting for her when she returned to the property. With the doorbell notifying her remotely if anyone has approached the door this has really put her mind at rest. Option of doorbell cam is a great additional, and I feel is the intervention that will most improve feelings of safety for our clients.

When the officers had managed to open the door, they found there had been no heating in the property for several weeks. Our bobby visited within 24 hours and arranged temporary heating, contacted her housing association, fitted security lights and alarms and offered reassurance. At the lady’s request, the bobby revisited a few days later with her health worker, when work was carried out to the heating system, and the lady was left feeling much safer and warmer in her home. **'Thanks to Andy’s support and flexibility this vulnerable lady has had her gas uncapped and is now warm in her own home. Without the support of Andy I am not sure how long this could have taken us to resolve.'** Kind Regards, Georgina Hall Social Work Manager for Cambridgeshire North, Borders and Peterborough Approved Mental Health Professional 01733 748419 Georgina.Hall@cpft.nhs.uk Page 11 ## **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Feedback & Case Studies Elderly Victims** ## **CASE STUDY 2 & Feedback from referrer.** There are many ways we can help, sometimes in sensitive situations. We visited a lady in March 2021, who was being continually harassed by a family member for money. She was referred to the Scheme by her Social Worker, who requested a lock change for the lady’s doors, so the family member could not freely access the property. Our bobby offered the lady reassurance and advice, changed both the locks and the key code on the lady’s key safe and fitted additional security. The lady was very grateful and reassured, and her Social Worker also wished to pass on her thanks for the additional help we’d given. “It’s very comforting to know that the Scheme looks at everything to keep vulnerable people safe.” ## _**I just had a call from Glenn who informed me of the work he completed for Mrs H. I just wanted to pass over my thanks to him and the scheme in general. I initially referred to simply change the locks however Glenn has gone above and beyond and it’s very comforting to know that this scheme looks at everything to keep vulnerable people safe!'**_ Kind regards, Hana Roberts Social Worker City and South Older People's Team ## **CASE STUDY 3 & Feedback.** We received a referral for an elderly lady who is chairbound, and had been targeted by a fraudster posing as a police officer. The lady lives in a rural location, and the bobby visited her home promptly, offered advice, changed the door lock and added alarms to the property, explaining calmly and clearly what he was doing and why. The idea of being locked in was not a happy one for the lady when walking anywhere is difficult. But her mind was put at rest by the kindness, understanding and reassurance she received from the bobby and as a result she feels much safer. **For the attention of Rachel Carr , Andy Glenn and Clare Darbyshire. On behalf of Mrs. MC of *** WISTOW, Cambs. PE28:** **' On behalf of Mrs. MC of WISTOW, Cambs. PE28 ***. My name is Mrs Jill Wadsworth and I am writing to thank you for the help, patience and kindness you gave to MC. M had a new door lock fitted and a key holder put in the porch to make her property safer. Andy explained all the details calmly and clearly to help put M’s fears to rest. The idea of being locked in was not a happy thought for her as she is chairbound and walking anywhere is difficult. We had contacted the Police originally because of a hoax telephone call. Our minds were put at rest because of the calm understanding and reassurance we received from all the officers and wanted to thank everyone involved. Yours sincerely, Jill Wadsworth. '** Page 12 ## **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Financial Review** Income for the year showed an increase on the previous year of £7,075, due to the introduction of government grant income received during the year. Expenditure showed a decrease on the previous year of £1,228. Full details can be found on pages 23 and 24 of these financial statements. This year overall showed a surplus of £39,178 compared to a surplus over expenditure £30,875 in 2020. ## **Reserves Policy** The Charity holds restricted reserves in the Cambridge Bobby Scheme fund of 340,378 at the year end (2020 - £301,200). As the Charity’s objectives fall within the terms of the restricted fund, the Trustees do not deem it necessary to hold unrestricted reserves. Page 13 ## **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)** ## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities** The Trustees are responsible for the preparing of the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the states of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity 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 2019 (FRS 102); - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - state whether applicable 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 charity will continue in operation. The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. This report was approved by the Trustees and signed on their behalf by: Mrs. J. Pearson D.L. **Trustee** B. Damazer Esq. D.L. J.P. **Trustee** Date: Page 14 **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** ## **Opinion** We have audited the financial statements of Cambridgeshire Police Shrievalty Trust (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, 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 Standards applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: - give a true and fair view of the state of the Charity’s affairs as at 5 April 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; - • have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and - have been properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. ## **Basis of Opinion** We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ 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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council’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 trustees’ 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 charitable company'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. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Page 15 **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** ## **Other Information** The other information comprises the information included in the trustees annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. 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. 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 course of 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. 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 that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. ## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception** We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the Trustee’s report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or - the Charity has not kept adequate accounting records; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for 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 the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable trust’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. Page 16 **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** ## **Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements** We have carried out our work under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and in carrying out our work we have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charities Commission under section 145(5)(b) and section 154 of the Act. 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 and Auditors’ report that includes our own 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. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: - enquiry of management around actual and potential litigation and claims; - reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. - performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. 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/auditorsresponsibilites. This description forms part of our Auditors’ report. ## **Use of Our Report** This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors 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 and its Trustees, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies** ## **a) Basis of preparation of financial statements** The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The trust constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. ## **b) Incoming Resources** All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Voluntary income is from donations and is recognised on a receipts basis. Income from investments is included when receivable. Income from permitted trading activities is recognised in the period in which it relates. Income from charitable trading activities is accounted for when earned. Other income is recognised in the period in which it relates. ## **c) Fund Accounting** Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donors which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes namely the running of the Bobby Scheme. ## **d) Resources Expended** Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Costs of generating funds comprise the costs of both attracting voluntary income and the costs associated with its permitted trading activities of letting surplus buildings. Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, including audit fees and costs associated with the AGM and similar board meetings. Page 20 **CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST** ## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2021** ## **2. Accounting policies (continued)** ## **e) Fixed Assets** Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provisions for impairment. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of as asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of the asset as follows: - Plant and Equipment - 20% straight line Office Equipment - 20% straight line Motor Vehicles - 20% straight line ## **f) Financial instruments** The charity enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities such as trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investment in non-puttable ordinary shares. ## **3** . **Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty** Estimates and judgements are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are subject to continuous monitoring. The Charity makes estimates and assumptions relating to future events which will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. ## i. Useful economic lives and residual values of tangible assets. The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, bases on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets.
