LEICESTER RAPE CRISIS LIMITED
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
This is my last report as Chair. It has been an honour to lead this organisation for nearly 10 years through some fairly choppy waters at times, but I am delighted to be leaving when the organisation is in such good shape and in safe hands.
When I first came on the Board I said that I hoped that one day there would not be a need for a Rape Crisis centre because rape as a crime would be regarded as something that was a relic from a bygone age. Sadly, 10 years on and we are no nearer to that reality and Jasmine House is needed now more than ever. However, I do believe that we have seen a shift in the court of public opinion (and in some courts too) where, post-Weinstein, women are more likely to be believed and there is more understanding of the concept of consent. We still have a long way to go, but projects like the SHUSH project and the work of Marcia Douglas, educating and supporting young girls contributes as much in their "boots on the ground" work in schools as national stories that grab the headlines.
Another change that I have witnessed in the past 10 years is around our funding. At the beginning our funding was uncertain - and then cut drastically. We were forced to live off our reserves at one point - and I would like to pay tribute and thank Rachel Thacker, our long-serving Treasurer, whose careful housekeeping enabled us to accrue reserves in the first place to see us through those rainy days. The loss of grant funding was a blow, but we focused on seeking out a CEO with fund-raising experience and since Cara Perry has taken on this role we have been able to secure and stabilise the organisation. We now have funding from several streams: Children in Need, Ministry of Justice and during this year National Lottery funding was once again secured from the Reaching Communities Fund.
We know that our many clients have a wide variety of backgrounds and individual stories to tell. One size does not fit all and Leicester Rape Crisis aims to meet the needs of everyone who is referred or self-refers to us. In order that we may give the necessary time and skills to those with the most complex needs, funding has been secured to provide support for these women, providing training to our staff to upskill them and identify and manage high risk.
Leicester Rape Crisis holds regular stakeholder events to listen to what is needed in our community and I am pleased that Yasmin continues to work in communities which are under-represented amongst our service users.
I said at the beginning that Leicester Rape Crisis was in safe hands. This was strengthened during the year when Emma Rippin joined the board. The Board sets the strategy and supports the Chief Executive - Cara Perry, who in turn manages a staff team of 7 all of whom are skilled, passionate and compassionate women. Leicester Rape Crisis could not deliver its primary activity of therapeutic counselling, without the dedication and commitment of over 21 volunteers to provide support to over 1100 survivors of rape in Leicester and Leicestershire last year. I wish all of them every success.

LEICESTER RAPE CRISIS LIMITED
TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charitable company's Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).
Objectives and activities
Leicester Rape Crisis Limited was established for charitable purposes, in particular to prevent and relieve suffering caused to women who have been, or are potentially, subject to sexual abuse or harassment. Specifically it has continued to provide counselling, advice and support. As such, the activities are undertaken to further the charitable purposes for the public benefit.
In this respect, the charitable company relies upon unpaid volunteers who provide a wide range of skills and without whose support the charitable company would be unable to function. The charitable company therefore expresses its heartfelt gratitude to all those volunteers who have helped in the operating of the charitable company during the year.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charitable company should undertake.
Achievements and performance
The focus for this financial year was to ensure that we had enough funding to continue the development of the service and continuation of client support.
Securing funding with the National Lottery Reaching Communities fund ensured that our Counselling service was secure for another 3 years. Support from the OPCC ensured we can reach out to Leicester's Diverse Communities raising awareness and breaking down barriers of access for Women of Colour. This fund has also supported the work that we do in schools to educate young people on healthy relationships, consent and staying safe online.
Progress this year has also been made in regards to supporting our staff team with ongoing training and development as well as ensuring salaries are inline with inflation rises and the cost of living crisis.
We have also increased efforts to ensure that our leadership from top down is strengthened, following a skills audit within the board of trustees. We have recruited new trustees and are planning an effective governance review to include training, strategic development, growth and sustainability. This work is set to develop further over the next financial year.
We have been able to grow steadily over the last year as a charity, supporting an average 1200 Women and Girls per year on their journey to healing and recovery.
Financial review
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain a reasonable level of reserves designed to provide sufficient resources for the charitable company to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. The policy requires a regular ongoing review of the reserves that are available and those which will be required to fund operations and mitigate any adverse conditions that may arise. The Statement of Financial Activities shows that the charitable company incurred a net deficit of £1,865; total reserves at the end of the year were £113,388; no restricted or designated funds were held.
The present level of funding is considered adequate to support the continued operation of the Centre and the trustees consider the financial position to be satisfactory.

In addition, the charitable company employs part time administrators to assist in ongoing operational matters and client care.
Risk management
The trustees operate a risk management policy which comprises the following:
-
an ongoing review of the various risks which the charitable company faces in respect of the sector in which it operates;
-
the establishment of systems, where considered necessary, to mitigate the risks identified;
-
the implementation of such procedures to minimise the impact on the charitable company should those risks materialise.
In respect of non-financial risks such as Health and Safety, the trustees have examined operational and business uncertainties faced by the charitable company and have established appropriate systems in order to minimise potential risks.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Leicester Rape Crisis Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 21 Upper King Street, Leicester, LE1 6XF.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charitable company's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charitable company has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charitable company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charitable company.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charitable company has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charitable company has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

(Continued)
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charitable company on the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities, and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them based upon either time spent on the actual activities or usage.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings computers at 33.3% per annum on a straight line basis and equipment others at 10% per annum on a straight line basis
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charitable company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 Financial instruments
The charitable company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charitable company's balance sheet when the charitable company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

LEICESTER RAPE CRISIS LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charitable company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charitable company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
