_____________________________________________________________ 

The Trustees present their report and the independent examined financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020. These financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and with the requirements of the charity’s governing document and Statement of Recommended Practice on Accounting by Charities. 

## **Governance and Decision Making** 

The governing body of the charity is the Board of Trustees, which consists of up to 12 trustees who meet four times per year. Trustees are appointed at the AGM and serve for 3 years. Trustees may be re-appointed, for further terms at the AGM. The Chairman is appointed at the AGM, as is the Treasurer. 

## **Trustees’ Recruitment, Appointment, Induction and Training** 

The holders of the following offices are ex-officio trustees: The High Sheriff of Kent One nominee of the Chief Constable of Kent. One Nominated representative from major donors, if they so wish. Elected Trustees for the other trustee positions to make up a total of no more than 12 Trustees 

New Trustees are given a copy of the Trust documents as well as the guidance notes from the Charity Commission on the duties of a Trustee. Charity Commission form CSD - 1382 (Declaration of eligibility for newly appointed trustees) and Trustee Job Description forms are also used to reinforce the responsibilities of a Trustee. A Personal Meeting is held with each Trustee to explain the duties and responsibilities of a Trustee, utilising the guidance given by the Charity Commission 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing 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 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: 

1. Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

2. Observe the methods and principals in the Charities SORP. 

3. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

4. State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

5. Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity will no longer 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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._

## **SAFER KENT** 

## **CHAIRMAN’S REPORT (continued)** 

_____________________________________________________________ 

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

## **Risk and Internal Control** 

The Trust has adopted the policies on internal controls recommended in the Charity Commission’s Booklet CC8 “Internal Financial Controls for Charities” wherever possible and has addressed the potential risks outlined therein. This process is undertaken with the investment policy and the social impact assessment (see grant making page). 

## **Charitable Objectives** 

The objects of the Safer Kent as stated in its Governing Document are: 

- The prevention of crime and the protection of people and property from criminal acts. 

- The advancement of education in all matters relating to crime prevention, community safety, alcohol, drug and other solvent abuse or any matter affecting crime and disorder in the community that improves the quality of life of communities, with activity restricted to the County of Kent and the Medway Towns. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Trust’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities and setting the grant making policy for the year. 

The Trust carries out these objects by: 

- Funding projects or working with partners on projects that have a predicted outcome that will: `o` reduce criminal activity. 

   - improve community safety. 

   - add to the education of the community regarding crime reduction, crime prevention and 

   - `o` Protection of the victims. 

- Providing grants to projects that help to reduce criminal activities and teach responsible social behavior. 

- Assisting charities or community partnerships who work with victims of crime. 

- Activities are restricted to the Kent County Council area and the Medway Unitary Authority. 

## **Grant Making Policy and Process** 

The main Board of Trustees and Members meet four times a year with grants being awarded to applicants by majority vote based on whether Trustees feel they fulfil the Trust’s objectives and with due consideration to the Trust’s financial position. 

All successful applicants are required to sign a disclaimer controlling the use of the grant award and emphasising the need for monitoring and regular feedback to the Trust regarding the projects’ progress.  In extreme cases the Trustees reserve the right to withdraw grants if a project is not delivered. Planned visits by members of the Trustees and staff are made to ensure compliance and share good practice. Grants are not made to core policing activities but to projects that will enhance crime reduction and community safety. 

## **Administrative costs** 

In 2020 our income was £28,166 (2019 £38,614) with £5,000 being restricted funds. The balance in the bank account on 31 December 2020 was £98,375 (2019 £113,708) with debtors of £199 (2019 £220) The total assets as at the 31 December 2020 was £94,181 (2019 £110,552). This provided a healthy reserve, without the Trust raising funds that we are not able to utilise towards our goals. The governance and administrator costs were £19,266 (2019 £19,250).

## **Review of Trust Activity** 

The Charity has survived the Covid 19 Lockdowns and has been able to learn and adapt from the guidelines and restrictions that we had to work under. 

The youth programmes were initially closed in mid-March but by the beginning of April we were able to start the Boxing Fit Programmes at Tonbridge, Edenbridge and Sittingbourne on-line with the help of the team at Olympia Boxing. Very quickly, we realised that a star had been born. Tommy, a graduate from our Tonbridge Box Fit programme has become a virtual media star, our very own “Mr Motivator”. All the young people on the 3 programmes were given free access to the weekly on-line sessions and this helped them keep in touch with each other and keep up their fitness levels.  Thanks, must be extended to the Youth Workers at Edenbridge, who kept in contact with all the youngsters on their programme, as it had only just started when the lockdowns were brought in. 

The Fit 4 Life Programme at Maidstone United had to close temporarily as the Gallagher Stadium was placed in lock down. However, we were able to obtain the use of Green Fields Playing Fields and at the request of the local schools, we set up a football-based programme for young people. With the initial estimate of 30 young people, we soon had 56 attending 4 days a week. The programme was supported by local supermarkets, who kindly helped us provide lunch for the young people.   Credit and thanks must go to the team, who normally would run the Fit 4 Life programme at Maidstone United. In changing their timetables around, they managed to set up multi-activity sessions, such that all the youngsters were able to participate as well as keeping to social distancing rules. Fortunately, football lends itself to no physical handling of the ball. 

The other novel programme was the start-up of a Badminton Programme at Swanley. The delivery team very quickly worked out that shuttlecocks could be marked up, thus ensuring that each one was only handled by a single person. Each person was issued with their own racket. The programme ran for eight weeks, before the regulations were tightened again, but the lessons learned and the confidence that we built up with the young people and the coaching team, will help us include this in a future plan, as it seems to attract a balance of girls and boys. 

Towards the end of the year, we were asked to help set up a Sports Based Programme for unaccompanied minors who were based in Folkestone.  In providing support to the team by working with them in policies and procedures early in the programme and use our Partnership with In-Kind Direct to provide equipment and kit for some 60 youngsters. 

Financially the charity has had a very difficult year, as most of our corporate supporters were facing stringent budget cuts. With the threat of having to furlough staff, they could not justify spends in the Corporate Social Responsibility budget. Central Government allocated funds to assist charities and voluntary organisations that were at risk of closing, but with our reserves, we were not and are still not at risk of not being able to continue to operate. Our Director has continued to keep the network of corporate supporters informed of what we could and were providing together with our proposed plans for the restart of our Inclusion Programmes. We are also grateful for the support provided by Invicta Chamber of Commerce in their twice monthly On-line Networking events, which proved most useful. Hopefully we will be able to attract more Corporate support from these new contacts now that the Covid Regulations are beginning to be eased. 

The Trust has been fortunate in the continued support from the Police & Crime Commissioner for Kent, Mr Matthew Scott and the Chief Executive of   Civil Service Insurance Society for  substantial support for some of our youth programmes.

SK2020 



In identifying a reduction in applications for funding, Safer Kent has embarked on drawing up plans to identify the sectors we are able to accept applications from and how we can market the offers to new community groups. 

Since its formation, Safer Kent has had the use of office facilities at the Police Headquarters in Maidstone, for which we are extremely grateful. We will soon be vacating the current office facilities, as the building is being sold. However, Kent Police are continuing to support the charity with office space in a nearby building. The move will likely only happen in June 2021, after renovations and re-formatting works have been completed. 

Throughout the year, our Trustees have always been available; by e-mail, telephone and our regular on-line meetings. Our thanks for their time and understanding, particularly as this approach, together with regular discussions with the Director, has ensured Good Governance and Financial Controls are adhered to. Thanks also for the additional support available through the good offices of Trustee, Laura Cox who is also Volunteer Office Administrator and Paul Curtis our Treasurer. 

The Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Viscount De L'Isle MBE, one of our two patrons, has retired from the role at the time of his retirement from the Lord Lieutenancy. In expressing our sincere thanks for his personal commitment and contribution, Safer Kent is pleased that the incumbent Lord Lieutenant of Kent, Lady Colgrain, has accepted the invitation to join Chief Constable Alan Pughsley as Patron. 

As can be seen from the content of this report, despite all difficulties and challenges, Safer Kent has continued to provide much needed support. Our Director, Bryn Price deserves special mention and it is appropriate that the thanks of the Trustees, be recorded for his outstanding work and commitment. 

The Trust has continued with the appointment of Mr Stephen Pereira as the Examiner, in compliance of the requirements of the Charity Commission guidelines and the Trust’s commitment to sound financial controls and governance. 

## **Trust Structure and Policies** 

The Trust has reviewed its policies to ensure the proper running of the Charity. Copies of the policies are available from the Safer Kent office. These include the following: 

- Children and Vulnerable Persons Policy. 

- Data Protection Policy. 

- Investment Policy. 

## **Grant making** 

Since its formation, the Trust has awarded £1,004,000 in Grants, Invested in Inclusion Programmes and agreed loans to over 2100 crime reducing and community safety projects.  In 2019 we awarded £9,397 (2017 £7,305) in grants and loans as well as attracting £8,489 (2018 £8,130) in restricted funds to continue the Inclusion Programmes. Expenditure for the Inclusion Programmes was £10,365. As can be seen from the two graphs below, we are able to ensure that we assist most of the target categories, as well as the Local Authority areas within Kent and Medway.

## **Better grant making** 

The Director is tasked with attending such events within Kent and Medway areas to ensure that there is a wide understanding of the role of the Trust and the process of applying for grants. This is in accordance with our aim to ensure that we reach all groups who may benefit from our assistance.

SK2020 



The Trustees have authorised the Director to offer immediate feedback to applicants where an application does not fit within the guidelines of the Trust’s deeds. In such cases a list of applications not deemed to fit will be submitted at the following Board Meeting for recording purposes. In cases where there is a defined need for an urgent small grant (under £500) a policy is in place where this will be considered by the Chairman, Deputy Chairs and Director. Whether approved or rejected the application will be tabled at the next meeting of the Board. 

Grant recipients are contacted to provide evaluation on how the grant has been spent. The rate of return of the feedback questionnaire is over 90% and most of the grants have achieved the results set out in the original application. The anecdotal evidence of positive changes in the community is encouraging.  Reports by Board Members who have visited projects are collated to add to the evaluation process. 

The beneficiaries of the grants awarded by the Trust are the residents, visitors and organisations working within Kent and Medway. In compliance with the Charity Commission guidance we also review our grants by geographic area to ensure maximum coverage. In the event of a specific area not being represented, remedial action in terms of marketing and brand awareness can be taken. The approval of grants is not and will not be bound by the geographic breakdown. 

## **Income and Fundraising** 

The Trust reserves have increased in the financial year and this is mainly due to the reduction in the number of Grant applications received. The Trust was able to raise £38,614 (2018 £32,326) in income (see full details on Page 10). 

The reserves represent only two year’s operating needs, at the current level. 2018 has proved to be a successful year for fundraising. The reserves of the Trust have decreased slightly from £111,985 for 2018 to £110,552 for the 2019 financial year 

The restricted funds are able to cover the projects for which they have been given, are sufficient to cover the planned programmes and the Trust is confident that it can attract funds to cover these programmes for the coming years. 

## **Marketing / PR** 

The goal of Marketing and PR has been to increase awareness of the Trust with those who might apply for grants, and those who might support the Trust financially or in kind.  Regular press releases have ensured that there is press coverage of the organisation and the continued support of Stagecoach Bus Company in designing and displaying the Trust logo and message on a bus has made a significant improvement to our brand awareness. 

## **Trustees and Board activities** 

The Board is presently made up of the following: 

- **Chairman** Cllr. David Brake JP 

- **Vice Chairman** Michael Bax 

- **Treasure** r Paul Curtis ACMA 

- Geraldine Allinson DL 

- Kathleen (Kaff) Smallwood 

- Angela Dench, Representative of Kent Police Chief Constable 

- Laura Cox 

- Samantha Jones Representing KF&R Service 

- Matthew Arnold 

In order to ensure that Trustees are engaged in the work of the Trust and have an opportunity to network with each other informally, sandwich lunches are held before each Board meeting. The meetings are held in the offices of Trustees and supporters. 

We also have a committed group of volunteers who work with our partners on the Inclusion Programmes. Drawn from all walks of life, they have given many hours to prepare the sites and assist in the management of the sessions. 

## **Project Delivery** 

The Trust has continued with the dual activities of grant giving and working with partners on the inclusion programmes.   The Trust continued to work with partners at Kent Police, Kent Youth Justice Board, Kent Fire 

7 

SK2020 



& Rescue, KCC, Medway Council, and many of the Kent based Housing Associations, who with other partners refer young people to the programmes. 

They have provided diversionary activities, peer and adult role models and engaged young people in their unique local environment. The Trust will be supporting and re-starting these and similar schemes in 2021. Funds have already been obtained for many of these programmes and are restricted to the costs of managing and running of the specific programmes. 

## **Looking forward** 

We will continue to maintain contact with present and previous members of the Trust with the aim of increasing active membership. With the constraints on funding from the public sector, more energy will need to be devoted to accessing funding from major grant-making bodies. 

We need to continue to expand within the capacity of the Trustees, staff, volunteers and our Director Mr Bryn Price, to increase the funds available for general grants as the public sector funding for community safety and victims support activities continues to be reduced. 

There is a marked decrease in the number of small organisations being started in the area, mainly due to the success of our grants over the years. The establishment of Street & Community Pastors, where there is a group in each of the major towns and cities, has been particularly successful and many are now able to support themselves financially. We have, however committed to accept further Grant applications from them for any expansion plans. 

The Success of the Domestic Abuse Volunteer Support Services charity funded by a Trust Grant in 2014 has resulted in new Domestic Abuse programmes and has increased in other areas of the county, as well as their adoption of templates from other Safer Kent supported programmes to widen their delivery. This has included them utilising the Domestic Abuse Training programme for Hairdressers, that we supported. This is now being rolled out to include Taxi drivers in West Kent. 

Partnerships with a wide range of organisations will need to be built, enabling new activities, suitable to other areas of the county to be developed, providing funding is accessible for each specific project / programme. 

Finally, as a Trustee and Trust Chairman, I have always considered myself extremely fortunate to be able, as a volunteer to work alongside such able, willing and dedicated colleagues. Indeed, I use this opportunity of extending my personal thanks to you, the Trustees, volunteers, supporters and staff who have helped so generously throughout the year. 

I know we make a difference, and long may we do so.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Safer Kent** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2019 set out on pages 11 to 19 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- 1). examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

- 3). State whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- 1). which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: a). To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act: and 

   - b). To prepare accounting records which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

   - have not been met; 

   - or to be reached.

Kent People's Trust received £20,000 (£20k)x in 2019) from the Police and Crime Commissioner for Kent. This represents a significant proportion of the total income for Kent People's trust and helps the Trust considerably to provide grants and fund inclusion programmes. The Commissioner does not have a place on or influence with the Board of Trustees and does not seek to influence the programmes in any way, but is a clear supporter of the Trust's aims for youth diversion, crime reduction and community engagement. 

During the year the charity had professional indemnity insurance cover of £1,000,000.
