CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
The Trustees present their report and account for the year ended 5[th] April 2022.
Constitution
The Charity was created by a Trust Deed dated 25[th] February 1999.
Objectives and Activities
The main objects of the Charity are to promote for the public benefit, the prevention of crime and the protection of people and property criminal acts and the advancement of education for the public benefit in all matter relating to crime prevention, road safety, the prevention of accidents generally, personal safety, alcohol, drug, solvent and other substance abuse of any matters affecting crime and safety in the community that improves the quality of life of communities. 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.

Operation Review and Future Developments
APRIL 2021-2022
The Bobby Scheme has performed exceptionally well during the Covid pandemic.
Elderly figures and DV figures combined showed that the Scheme supported 1,371 households, 746 children under the age of 18 and 81 others living in these homes affected by crime. In addition the BS supported 339 residents for the Safer Streets project, making a total of 2,537 people.
Further demographic information is produced by the Trust for the Ministry of Justice, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Local Authorities and other Trust funders and stakeholders, this information has an emphasis on ethnicity, marital status and employment status etc.
A presentation was given to the Peterborough Magistrates, IDVA service showcasing how well the Scheme worked during the pandemic and the number of different victims supported.
Safer Streets – a crime prevention project within the CB4 and CB5 (high crime) areas of Cambridge. The BS was successful in a bid to work with Cambs Constabulary on this project, which should have began in September 2020 but was deferred to January 2022, the BS installed devices and Ring doorbells to residents homes and gave out security packs in this area, all equipment and devices was supplied by Cambs Police. The service was free to those living in CB areas identified by CC and a target of 200 homes was set from which to benefit from the project. Feedback so far has been positive. The Trust Manager has appeared on Radio Cambs talking about crime prevention and promoting the Scheme and carried out some Zoom talks. The website and Facebook are regularly updated and a Google Translate button has been added. It was noted that translators accompany on visits where required, and stringent information gathering now shows the Scheme is working effectively with different groups.
The Scheme is now fitting Ring video doorbells as a regular devices for DA victims.
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 whole Bobby Scheme team recently undertook DV training via Zoom with a member of the IDVA service.
A visit to the Wiltshire Bobby Scheme to review their working methods and practices and share information and ideas was undertaken.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (continued)
Operation Review and Future Developments (continued)
In making visits to the elderly and vulnerable, consideration is to be considered in other areas affecting these communities: Pet crime might be an area the Scheme could become involved in. Trussell Trust – another scheme that could be link up with, to check some vulnerable people have enough food in their cupboards when we visit. Collaborative fundraising with other Schemes is to be considered, in these difficult times going round the counties to share ideas is vital.
Cybercrime appears to be a growing problem, and other Schemes offer 1 to 1 computer training via volunteers, who visit vulnerable clients and teach them how to stay safe on-line. It has been suggested this is something the Scheme could offer with prevention being the key.
Now that the relaxation of Covid rules allows community visits it is intended to re-introduce community talks, it is also felt that promotion of the Scheme within the local community, such as at doctor's surgeries will help to raise awareness of the Scheme. Locations must be considered to maximise the impact of existing resources.
It is felt now is the opportune time to broaden the Scheme's projects to support the Cambs Police Prevention Strategy, and would enable the Scheme to include younger people in its remit.
The Trustees were all in agreement with the plan to employ a third bobby with an increased remit.
It was reported that Mrs Jennifer Crompton will become High Sheriff in April 2022 and join the board of Trustees.

DATA & OUTCOMES
Total properties where no works were Total properties where works completed but Estimate of doors knocked were completed residents were spoken to 227 14 339
WHAT WENT WELL
The residents were of a varied demographics consisting of elderly, students, BAME. Group talk was very well received. The Bobby Scheme was very well received with only 1 person being rude and negative. Residents were generally surprised and positive that the 'Police' were making time & engaging with the community in this way. We received several call backs to residents that were not home but left a leaflet to go back at a mutually convenient time. All residents were surprised this service was of no charge to them, we feel had there been a charge the uptake would have been far less.
IMPROVEMENTS
There was an issue with the original video doorbells, however this was soon rectified with a superior product and residents that were not happy were re-visited. We began the project later than anticipated which may have had a detrimental effective on the Bobby Scheme, fortunately we were able to deliver over and above our original agreed input. The receipt of referrals from Cambridgeshire Constabulary were very slow, however this was down to unforeseen circumstances (Covid).

Apr-21
White British, disabled lady, living alone, aged 71 living in March, Fenland.
The lady was being continually being harassed by a family member for money. She was referred to the Scheme by Cambs Constabulary and her Social Worker. A lock change was requested for the lady’s doors, so the family member could not freely access the property.
The Bobby Scheme changed locks for both doors, and the key code on the lady’s keysafe was re-set. Additional security devices were fitted around the her home to alert her to any visitors wanted or unwanted to her home. Reassurance and advice was given to the lady.
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.”

As the Charity’s objectives fall within the terms of the restricted fund, the Trustees do not deem it necessary to hold unrestricted reserves.
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.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Cambridgeshire Police Shrievalty Trust (the ‘Charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2022 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 2022 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 154 of that 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.
Page 13
CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
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.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
1. General information
The Cambridgeshire Police Shrievalty Trust is a Charity incorporated in England and Wales, charity number 1074992. The Charity is governed by a Trust Deed dated 25[th] February 1999.
2. 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 17
CAMBRIDGESHIRE POLICE SHRIEVALTY TRUST
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
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.
