SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

The trustees (who are also directors for the purpose of company law) present their report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, 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) (effective 1 January 2016)”.

Objectives and activities

Charitable Objectives

To meet the needs and break the isolation of those bereaved by the suicide of a close relative or friend, by offering a safe confidential environment in which bereaved people can share their experiences and feelings, consequently giving and gaining support from each other. To promote greater awareness for professionals to help them recognise the specific support required for those bereaved by suicide.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission, which has meant that they should report on the Charity’s public benefit.

The two underlying principles are:

(i) There must be an identifiable benefit or benefits that arise from the aims, and (ii) Benefit must be to the public, or a section of the public.

SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Achievements and Performance

Due to covid restrictions it was agreed by the Board of Trustees to meet on a monthly basis virtually, which are to be reviewed as and when these restrictions are lifted. The now chair Halani Foulsham, CEO and Finance Officer have continued to have monthly virtual catch-up meetings prior to Trustee meetings, these meetings are to discuss any ongoing issues and also to prepare the agenda for the next board meeting.

The charity has changed significantly during 2020, both in the number of people who have been supported and also in our influence nationally. As the covid pandemic dictated the way we operate, all of our face-to-face meetings were suspended. This action forced us to enter in to the virtual world of online support, we continued to support via our national helpline and also email support. We extended the coverage for the national helpline from 5 days per week to 7 days per week 365 days per year. Whilst every effort was made to keep groups, unfortunately we did lose some throughout the year and those were:

Swindon, Melton Mowbray, Bristol.

In 2019 the charity was successful with an application to the Big Lottery. We have continued to fulfil the requirements of that lottery bid by developing our virtual online training and e-learning, opening of new groups and offering a virtual male only group “bereaveMENt”. During 2020 We trained 49 additional volunteers for all disciplines of support that we offer, this meant that we will be opening additional groups throughout the UK (area to be confirmed once covid restrictions are lifted). There has been on-going expansion of partnership working with other organisations. This has led to the development of a 360° wrap around support service which incorporates a police system called real time data/surveillance. This type of system is generally county led, working alongside other agencies such as AMPARO, Lucy Rayner Foundation and Harmless.

Whilst we were restricted by the pandemic, the charity felt it necessary to continue to help and support those individuals in need of our services, the online forum continues to grow, we now have over 4,000 members, group attendances including virtual 2,200 during 2020 which was much lower than the previous year. We have seen a huge uplift for email support during 2020, Which we feel could be covid related, the national email support service grew from 740 in 2019 to 11,034 in 2020 and group email contact averaged out at 10 per month.

Achievements and Performance (continued)

During 2020 we were informed that Google analytics had stopped functioning within the website, since June we have managed to collate data for the period between June 9" and December 31* for that period, we received 78,000 users with a total of 105,000 sessions with a steadily increase in visits to the website. The National Helpline received a total of 6,310 calls, which our helpline volunteers answered 5,980 in 2020, support Groups also take calls from survivors, and an average of 4 calls per month per group during 2020 a reduction from last year.

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation 2018 we have put in place regulations and are fully compliant, all policies are posted on our website. All SoBS groups have also had to comply with the new rules and regulations. Every client has to sign an agreement allowing our organisation to hold their personal information/details, which is reviewed every 2 years and where necessary, data cleansed.

National Website

We continue to develop our national website which has proved to be a success and we have received positive feedback in particularly searching for groups, this is now a more efficient tool to find a support group in any area across the U.K.

The Forum was launched in November 2018, we have 5 Moderators to ensure the discussions are applicable to SoBS ethos. We are confident that the Forum will continue to be a great success and ensure that continuous support is out there for persons who cannot access a group. From the initial roll out of the forum in 2018, it has continued to grow and as of the 31 December 2020 we have approved over 3000 members to the online forum.

National Helpline

Our bespoke National Helpline is 0300 111 5065 and continues to be a first point of contact for many survivors. The Helpline now operates Monday — Sunday from 9am to 9pm. All calls on the Helpline are dealt with by volunteer survivors, a unique user led service.

We are members of the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, and we continue to attend their virtual conference updates and other events for Trustee Guidance, such as their Hon. Treasurers’ Forum.

Training development

The charity has continued to develop the training for our volunteers. We now have an online training package which includes five e-learning modules about the history of the charity, GDPR, safeguarding, social media and finance, once these modules have been completed the charity invites volunteers to participate in an online training day. The day covers all aspects on how to run a support group, to answer calls for our national helpline and how to support people by email. The training also invites existing volunteers for a refresher course, this is now compulsory that all volunteers are to attend refresher training every two years.

SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020

Achievements and Performance (continued)

With lottery funding we have been able to train our volunteer coordinator for the south of England to deliver ASIST T4T training for our volunteers. This accreditation also allows the charity to deliver training to professional organisations.

The charity has now employed an office manager who has taken on the responsibility to update and rewrite all of the charity’s policies, which are then agreed and signed off by the board of trustees.

Finance

We continue to receive funds from generous donations through Just Giving, Virgin Giving, PayPal Giving, Amazon Smile and Facebook which has been a great success with their birthday fundraisers. All funds raised are mostly by those people who have lost someone to suicide and this is their way of thanking us for the help we have provided.

Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Financial review and reserves policy

Total income in 2020 decreased from £359,830 to £284,141. Expenditure has increased from £232,731 to £238,402. Overall this has resulted in a surplus of £45,739 (compared to £127,099 surplus in 2019). This is a similar surplus to 2018 and reflects the challenges the charity has faced in 2020 following the Covid-19 pandemic. The whole of England, Scotland and Wales have been in long periods of lockdown, which has had a direct impact on donations and fundraising.

The Trustees have agreed a policy for managing adequate and appropriate reserves for the charity in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The trustees have considered the risks to the organisation, completed an analysis of the impact of significant risks and identified the need to maintain a reserve equivalent to 6-12 months unrestricted expenditure currently estimated at between £58,000 and £116,000.

The surplus for the year has resulted in total reserves of £599,724. Of these £384,332 are restricted by donors and funders to be spent on particular projects. These reserves are therefore not available for the general running of the Charity. Unrestricted funds at the year end were £215,392 of which £17,720 relate to the net book value of fixed assets, leaving free reserves of £197,672.

Risk mitigation policy

The Trustees examine the major risks that the charity faces each financial year when preparing and updating the strategic plan. The charity has developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity in the future. However, the Trustees consider that the continuing uncertainty over funding levels constitutes a significant residual risk to our present level of operation if we are not successful in negotiating more sustainable funding. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery of our services to our clients. The policies are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the need of the charity.

Related parties

Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide has no related parties that make a significant impact upon the policies adopted by the organisation.

Independent examiner

Mr D J Smith FCCA of DKS Chartered Certified Accountants offers himself for re-appointment as independent examiner to the charity.

Small company exemption

This report is prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

16, Restricted funds (continued) Group Funds — These are bank and cash balances held at the balance sheet date for each of the groups listed at note 21 on pages 24 and 25.

Department of Health — In March 2012 we were awarded £50,000 from the Department of Health. This was deemed as a rescue package and the stipulations attached were that this was a one off grant and could not be re-applied for in the future. We were to enlist the services of a company called Primetimers, who were to support our organisation by developing a business plan to enable us to become self-sustainable long term. To date we have spent £40,880 leaving a carryover of £9,120; the development continues with the remaining funds.

Big Lottery — In June 2019 we were awarded £500,000 over 5 years from the Big Lottery. The grant was to help expand the charity throughout England to establish a minimum of three support groups in every county through the employment of volunteer coordinators and increased office support staff. From the £147,060 received to date , £68,473 was spent to date leaving a carryover of £78,587.
