STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT The Children’s Bereavement Centre is a charitable company limited by guarantee and does not have any share capital. It was incorporated on 28 April 2003 as Newark & Notts Child Bereavement and Loss Centre and registered as a charity on 11 August 2003; the name was changed on 10 January 2014. Every member of the company has limited liability in the form of a guarantee up to £1.
ORGANISATION
The Children’s Bereavement Centre is managed by a voluntary Executive Committee that meets bi-monthly to decide policy and to delegate responsibility to either staff or members of the Executive Committee. The professional staff have day to day responsibilities of running the charity.
At the end of the year, the charity employed 5 full-time and 6 part-time staff and had approximately 20 clinical volunteers and many other volunteers providing help with fundraising, awareness raising and administration. A group of Young Ambassadors, all of whom previously benefited from the service, continue to contribute to promotion, fundraising, research and development of service delivery.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CHARITY
The Children’s Bereavement Centre is a registered charity providing support for people from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire at one of the most difficult times of their lives. It is run by a committed team of friendly, supportive, and professional practitioners who are qualified to help with the grieving process brought on by the death or terminal illness diagnosis of a loved one. It is open to children aged 3 to 18 and offers a welcoming and safe environment for them and their parents/carers. All the children and young people accessing support have experienced trauma due to the death or terminal-illness of someone important to them, often in problematic circumstances such as chronic illness, accident, murder, manslaughter, or suicide. The charity provides free specialist one-to-one support, therapy, and counselling for children and young people, social events including children’s group activities and workshops, a monthly peer support group, and an annual bereavement camp. It is a placement provider for qualified counsellors and final year students, and offers training programmes for schools, professional organisations, parents/carers and volunteers. Professionals are also offered advice and support to empower them to provide an effective network of support around each bereaved child. All the children and young people supported have experienced the trauma of losing a close family member, often a parent or other loved one. As a result of this traumatic loss, they are more likely to have behavioural problems. Grieving children are also extremely vulnerable to mental health disorders as they may be confused and upset by what they are feeling, but unable to identify or understand why. Often adults will attempt to protect children because their own feelings are too painful to discuss, and they do not want their children to feel their pain. The charity’s interventions help bereaved families to cope and help to make a significant difference to immediate wellbeing and long-term recovery. Children and young people can adjust to their loss, reducing their risk of negative behaviour patterns and physical or mental health problems. They are able to grow up healthier and happier, going on to make a positive contribution to their communities and creating a bright future for themseives.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2020 (continued)
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
When the lockdown was announced in March 2020, as a small charity the Children’s Bereavement Centre was able to innovate very quickly to move from face-to-face support to provide vital services and hope via telephone and video platforms. It created different resources to engage children and young people and will continue to utilise this learning in the future as it has been received well by many young people and widened the accessibility to receiving support, particularly for those in rural areas or with limited transport options. However, internal research has also shown that video and telephone support are not a replacement for face-to-face services with many families choosing to wait for this type of service to resume once restrictions were lifted.
Despite all the challenges, in the past year, the Children’s Bereavement Centre successfully supported over 630 children, young people and their parents/carers. 100% of those surveyed benefited in some way from support and many reported that they would have struggled to get through the past year without the expertise and compassion of staff and volunteers. As the only dedicated children’s bereavement charity providing a wide range of free 1:1 and group support in the area, and with over 17 years’ experience of delivering services, the charity has continued to provide advice and guidance for professionals. In the past year this increased by over 120% with few professionals having the skills and knowledge needed to cope with the impact of bereavement and loss.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Treasurer’s Report
During the year ending 31 March 2021 income totalled £301,142 (2020 - £343,488) and outgoings totalled £265,512 (2020 - £293,637) giving a surplus for the year of £35,630 (2020 — surplus £49,851).
Income was achieved via:
-
° Corporate fundraising £58,812 (2020 - £41,053)
-
° Grants £149,542 (2020 - £123,858)
-
. Statutory Sector Funding £12,500 (2020 — £12,500)
-
. Donations & Fundraising £79,548 (2020 — £156,343)
-
° Earned income from Professional Training £740 (2020 - £9,734)
The Children’s Bereavement Centre was fortunate during the year to be able to reduce costs, mainly due to people working from home, without impacting service delivery which continued throughout the year. This was at a time when income from fundraising, donations and paid training were severely impacted by the pandemic but thanks to the increased support from grant funders and a local company, the charity was able to finish the year with a surplus of funds. A financial risk evaluation was undertaken by the Trustees, and it was agreed that to meet the charity’s core aims this surplus should be invested in the recruitment of new clinical staff to increase capacity to cope with the high demand for support as well as working towards reducing waiting times which had increased during the year due to the restrictions on face-to-face support.
The charity is hugely grateful to everyone for their financial support during the year at a time when everyone was experiencing their own challenges due to the pandemic. Despite most events being cancelled or postponed, many people took up the gauntlet to organise their own activity or event and have been incredibly imaginative and creative. It is thanks to everyone involved that the Children’s Bereavement Centre has been able to continue providing free specialist support for hundreds of bereaved children, young people and their families at a time when they have been disproportionately affected by Covid-19 and have been unabie to grieve with friends and family and say goodbye to loved ones.

Reserves Policy
Our retained reserves at 31° March 2021 were £293,013 (2020 - £257,383).
The charity is heavily reliant on voluntary donations, the majority of which, must be newly generated each year. The Trustees duly consider the uncertainties around funding when setting the charity’s reserves and as such it is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted free reserves at a level to provide sufficient funds to cover a minimum of 6 months operating expenditure and any emergency situations that may arise. The charity currently holds £293,013 free reserves which the Trustees feel is appropriate for the charity as the level of funding and support remains uncertain but will continue to regularly monitor the level of reserves held.
Investment policy
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit. The charity has a policy of keeping liquid funds in accounts that can be accessed readily.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
The Children’s Bereavement Centre remains committed to its core purpose of ensuring all local children, young people and their families/carers affected by the death of terminal-illness of someone they love, get the vital specialist support they may need, when they need it. This is through maintaining and developing a wide range of services as well as signposting and collaborating with other organisations. However, the impact of the pandemic is that the charity is seeing more children and young people requiring support and it will therefore continue to communicate with beneficiaries and stakeholders to ensure it continues to fill a vital gap in local provision without duplication and are meeting the needs within our local community. It is forecasted based on future plans and expectations, that income from fundraising and grants will be impacted during the coming year at least. The charity however remains ambitious and forward thinking and will therefore continue to invest in key identified areas to help boost funds via fundraising and digital marketing techniques, including recruitment of new staff as required. This in turn should help to boost our sustainability and enable us to support more families and professionals than ever before and enable us to increase our accessibility and reach throughout the area.
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
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 as at the balance sheet date on its incoming resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent, - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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 Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102) (effective January 2016) and in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHILDREN’S BEREAVEMENT CENTRE
I report on the accounts of Children’s Bereavement Centre, for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the Charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, you consider that the audit requirement of section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) does not apply, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
° examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act, ° to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
° to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the 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:
-
° to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and ° to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act.
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
