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:

SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and Performance

It was agreed by the Board of Trustees in 2021 to meet ten months of the year on a monthly basis virtually and two months of the year to meet face to face, which are to be reviewed as and when the board of trustees feel it’s necessary. The chair Halani Foulsham, CEO and Finance Officer have continued to have monthly virtual catchup 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 moved its National Office due to the expansion of staff and growth of the charity. SoBS national office is still based in Ilkeston Derbyshire.

The direction of the charity has slightly changed with its approach to a more collaborative work ethic with other agencies such as, Amparo, Harmless and the Lucy Rayner Foundation. We have also continued to link in with other charities such as COPS (Care of Police Survivors) to look at setting up support groups with them, to help support those who have lost someone to suicide while serving in the Police force. The charity has also linked in with ICS (integrated care system) in south Yorkshire. The county now offers a 360° wrap around support service with the support of real time surveillance (Police), AMPARO who offer suicide postvention services, providing trauma-informed support at individual and community level for anyone affected by suicide and SoBS who offer an open-ended support service for those who have been impacted by suicide loss.

Whilst working with ICS we have managed to provide four additional support groups in South Yorkshire. This has now led to sharing this collaboration to other counties throughout England 1e., Kent, Hampshire, Coventry & Warwickshire to date. The growth of volunteers continues and we have currently recruited approximately 40 new volunteers during this period. Even though this growth plan has secured additional support groups and new volunteers we have lost a small number of groups, mainly due to covid lockdowns and restrictions.

We have also developed a national workshop to help people understand why there is such a great need to support those left behind after a suicide loss. The workshop has attracted over 500 attendees during the seven sessions which have been delivered.

The charity has now established links in Wales and with a small amount of funding we have managed to establish a support group in Anglesey and a potential one in Dyfed.

The Board of Trustees have put an action plan in place to deliver a 5-year business plan which includes KPI’s to allow us to measure our own performance as well as measure how successful the support given has been to beneficiaries.

The Board of Trustees have also implemented a total review of all current policies and procedures, which will be updated in a high priority order, the task for this was given to SoBS office manager.

/ During March we brought forward the Lottery grant allocation for our volunteer coordinator for the | north of England. England. We have now now employed Phill Abbiss to fill the post. Phill will now now work alongside | Sheila who is the Southern volunteer coordinator. : The charity celebrated its 30 years of its existence this year, to mark this pinnacle, we asked volunteers | and survivors to join us on a virtual walk from our most northern group (Elgin) to our most southern group (Exeter) asking everyone to walk 30 miles during the month of April. This well organised fundraising campaign raised over £50,000 to help support those in need of help from the charity.

Achievements and Performance (continued)

During March we brought forward the Lottery grant allocation for our volunteer coordinator for the north of England. England. We have now now employed Phill Abbiss to fill the post. Phill will now now work alongside Sheila who is the Southern volunteer coordinator.

We now have three appointed ambassadors Angela Samata, Mathew Crawley and Andy Cohen- Wray. Our Ambassadors at Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide work tirelessly to help to raise awareness of our work and bring support to our organisation. This is a really important role as it helps us to reach new people and inspire new fundraising activity.

Move to new premises. A decision needed to be made to move the national office, as the charity expands there was a great need for larger premisses. We moved the HQ in October 2021 to a singlestorey building and a good open space which would accommodate up to 10 staff members with the addition of much needed storage space for merchandise and archived files.

We have continued to fulfil the requirements of the 2019 lottery bid by continuing with virtual meetings and allowing a hybrid peer support delivering both face to face and virtual meetings.

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 4,900 members, group attendances including virtual was 3,178 beneficiaries during 2021 which was larger than expected. We have seen slight increase for email support during 2021. The national email support service increased from 740 in 2020 to just over 1200 in 2021 and group email contact averaged out at 10 per month per group.

SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and Performance (continued)

During 2021 we had 173,000 visitors to our website, which covered 244,000 sessions averaging 2minutes and 16 seconds per session.

The National Helpline received a total of 8,136 calls, which our helpline volunteers answered 7,479 in 2021, support Groups also take calls from survivors, and an average of 12 calls per month per group during 2021.

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.

Social Media

From January 2021 to December 2021 our social media had the following interaction with all platforms, which we see growing to a greater following in 2022.

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. There was 173,036 users connected to the website during this period with 244,311 sessions on various pages.

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 2021 we have approved over 3,500 members to the online forum.

SURVIVORS OF BEREAVEMENT BY SUICIDE (A Company Limited By Guarantee) TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and Performance (continued)

Training development

The charity continues 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.

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. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

Financial review and reserves policy

Total income in 2021 increased from £284,141 to £484,429. Expenditure has increased from £238,402 to £293,875. Overall this has resulted in a surplus of £190,554 (compared to £45,739 surplus in 2020). Following the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the whole of England, Scotland and Wales had been in long periods of lockdown, which began to have a direct impact on donations and fundraising mn 2020. During 2021 the lockdowns began to cease and donations and fundraising have increased back to pre-pandemic levels.

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 £60,000 and £120,000.

The surplus for the year has resulted in total reserves of £790,278. Of these £422,150 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 £368,128 of which £6,311 relate to the net book value of fixed assets, leaving free reserves of £361,817.
