REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

These currently are:

(a) to the preservation of public order and

Significant activities

  1. Remedi has continued to develop partnership relationships with the youth justice services in: Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield, Derby, Nottinghamshire, Stockport, Manchester, Salford and Bolton Youth Offending Teams. In addition we have expanded our youth justice work via the provision of restorative justice services to St Helens Youth Justice Service

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

The trustees of Remedi confirm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance in deciding how the charity promotes public benefit. These are summarised below:

Benefits arising from Remedi's aims:

Our aims in providing restorative justice services (e.g. mediation, victim awareness and reparation) and educating the public about restorative justice promotes public benefit in 5 main ways:

(1) preservation of public order by providing a non-violent means of resolving conflicts between offenders and victims of crime and in other arenas of society (e.g. schools)

(2) rehabilitating of offenders and therefore a reduction in repeat offending

(3) promotion of health and well-being amongst victims of crime by assisting them to cope with what has happened to them and move on with their lives

(4) enabling professionals working in the criminal justice system to make more efficient and effective use of restorative justice

(5) enabling the public to understand that there are effective but non-violent means of resolving conflict through mediation and reparation.

Risks that may arise

Although the success rate is comparatively high (98% of cases undertaken), there may be those for whom restorative justice does not achieve the above aims. Risk assessments with both victims and offenders are thoroughly and carefully carried out to try to ensure that no-one is harmed by the process. Involvement in a restorative process is totally voluntary on both sides and either party can withdraw at any time. Where face-to-face meetings are to take place, both parties are provided with hours of preparation beforehand and supported fully through the process. The trustees are not aware of any public view that harm could arise from mediation and restorative justice; it is more that some sections of the public are unaware of what mediation and restorative justice are and what they seek to achieve.

Beneficiaries

The charity's most direct beneficiaries are the victims of crime, offenders and the criminal justice professionals who work with them. The training and experience that our volunteer mediators receive frequently provide them with skills to begin or advance their careers in the field of restorative justice. Indirectly the public benefits through the improvement in public order that results from successful rehabilitation of offenders, better victim awareness and conflict resolution for victims. There are no barriers to anyone wishing to use Remedi's restorative justice services: they are free at the point of delivery, being funded entirely by grant aid and service level agreements with statutory bodies. Both victims and offenders can self refer. Remedi does charge for training to statutory and other organisations, but this is in line with good practice regarding full cost recovery in dealing with statutory bodies and larger organisations.

In the year 2021/22 the following primary beneficiaries were provided with services:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Private benefits

As mentioned above, a number of our volunteers who became trained and experienced mediators/restorative justice practitioners have either become paid members of our staff team or have been able to pursue careers within the criminal justice system. We regard this as a hallmark of good practice and are proud of the resulting highly skilled workforce that began as volunteers. The value of volunteers' time cannot be reasonably quantified and is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities.

None of the trustees receives any private financial benefit, although any trustee could train as a volunteer mediator if s/he passes the initial assessment as being suitable for this. However, one of the difficulties we face as a charity is that employees of a number of statutory sector criminal justice agencies (probation, police, youth justice services) who would make valuable trustees because of their expert knowledge and experience, are barred from doing so because of potential conflicts of interest, as we receive funding from these agencies. As the charity has more than 4 trustees, none of them is a person with significant control within the meaning of the Register of People with Significant Control Regulations 2016.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Remedi continues to provide restorative justice services for both adults and youths and the contracts with partners continue to generally be funded on a full cost recovery basis.

During the financial year Remedi has seen the development of a number of areas of practice that has resulted in the expansion of our service provision:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

At the end of the 2021/22 financial year, the charity's reserves totalled £1,246,652 (2021: £1,084,683) with £523,548 relating to restricted reserves and £723,104 relating to unrestricted reserves. There was an overall surplus for the year of £161,969 (2021: £218,282) being £144,672 on restricted funds and £17,297 relating to unrestricted funds.

The principal funding sources were income from grants and service contracts which were expended on the salaries and running costs needed to provide services directed towards mediation and reconciliation between victims of crime and offenders. The training delivery programme generated unrestricted net income of £30,480 which increases the charity's unrestricted reserve.

The charitable company works to ensure that all contracts with statutory bodies approach full cost recovery and that all other work that Remedi does is covered by some form of grant or service agreement.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure plus redundancy payments, sickness and maternity pay. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and restorative justice services. At present the free reserves of £652,327 (excluding fixed assets) reach this target level but the trustees are monitoring the situation to ensure sustainability.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

FUTURE PLANS

Our partners continue to be impressed with the degree to which Remedi has managed service provision throughout 2021 and early 2022. Some services continue to be provided through Zoom and other similar media though increasingly, face-to-face services are being resumed. All Remedi's partners have continued to be highly satisfied with the standard of work Remedi staff have done with their beneficiaries during this very challenging time.

Our main development strategy is to expand our geographic basis of service delivery in other areas of England. These may be new partnership relationships with Youth Offending Teams, new opportunities presented via the Probation service dynamic framework process, police and crime commissioners, victim support services contracted by offices of the Police and Crime Commissioners and schools.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

Remedi is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a registered charity with a foundation structure. This means that its members are the existing trustees. The involvement of staff, volunteers, service users and other stakeholders remains unchanged, as no major strategic decision would be taken by the Trustees without consultation with them.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees may at any time co-opt an individual duly qualified to be appointed as a trustee to fill a vacancy in their number, as an additional trustee or as a non voting advisor or observer.

Unfortunately we cannot appoint trustees from the statutory sector criminal justice agencies or other partner organisations from which we receive funding. However representatives from these bodies have standing invitations to attend trustees' meetings as non voting observers or advisors.

In recruiting trustees we look for people who have some knowledge of the criminal justice system or who have had experience of working with victims and/or offenders or who can bring other skills which are valuable for governance.

The responsibility for the day to day running of the charity is delegated to Steve Jones. Quarterly staff forum meetings (with Board Members) have been instituted.

Induction and training of new trustees

We have a trustee induction pack which is based on the good practice model developed by NCVO. It includes the governing document, latest accounts and annual report, a list of policies and procedures, a code of conduct and declaration, a conflicts of interest policy, statement and declaration, a skills audit and a fit and proper persons declaration. Prospective trustees are invited to attend several trustees' meetings as observers before they are officially invited for appointment.

If they are not people already known to the other trustees, they are interviewed by a panel of trustees and senior staff and references are taken up prior to appointment. They are asked to meet staff as part of their induction and to raise any queries with them and with other trustees. All trustees must be DBS checked under the Criminal Justice and Courts Services Act 2000. All new trustees are encouraged to go on Remedi's mediation training course in order to be able more fully to understand Remedi's work and ethos.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Risk management

The trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Possible risks to external funding have led to the development of a rolling business plan which will allow for the mitigation of those risks.

Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are reviewed annually to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.

Remedi have also developed a documented Business Continuity Plan to identify strategies in response to potential data loss, system failure etc. This document is available on request and is shared across the entire organisation via the staff portal section of our website. We have also organised a number of Zoom meetings with local offices so staff can meet them and raise any matters or concerns they may have.

The trustees meet every 8 weeks and conduct a rolling budget review and revision of management accounts at each meeting. The charity retains a firm of solicitors specialising in employment law who provide employment protection and legal expenses insurance as part of their services. The trustees have in addition taken out appropriate trustee liability insurance and also insurance with a firm of solicitors against employment-related claims that is backed up by a dedicated legal support service.

In response to the Covid 19 pandemic the charity formulated a series of risk assessment reviews in order to ensure all personnel were supported practically and emotionally. These included home working assessments of need, remote methods of working- risk management for service users and staff and, significantly, staff welfare and wellbeing management which was maintained via regular check in meetings, team meetings and cross team meetings facilitated remotely.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees (who are also the directors of Remedi-Restorative Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 28 November 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF REMEDI-RESTORATIVE SERVICES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Remedi-Restorative Services (the 'charitable company') 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for 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 charitable company 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 19 to the financial statements, 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.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

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 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.

Page 10

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF REMEDI-RESTORATIVE SERVICES

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 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 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 charitable company'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 charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Page 11

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF REMEDI-RESTORATIVE SERVICES

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

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 a Report of the Independent Auditors 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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 further 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. material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate 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/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF REMEDI-RESTORATIVE SERVICES

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's 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 charitable company'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 charitable company and the charitable company's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound sterling (£). Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Grants that provide core funding, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies that the grant must only be used in future accounting periods or the donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. per capita or estimated usage as set out in the notes to the accounts. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include finance, payroll, back office and governance costs which support the charity's activities.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Office equipment & fixtures - 20% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.

The costs of minor additions or those where the purchase price is below £750 are not capitalised.
