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 ofwhom 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 themselves.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued)
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charity is experiencing the highest demand for support in its history, with a significant increase in referrals from a wide range ofprofessionals. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, we have enabled 908 children, young people and their parents/carers to benefit from free services and many professionals have had access to telephone advice and training. Indirectly many thousands of people in our local community benefit in some way each year and we continue to offer our core services which include:
-
e One-to-one bereavement support or counselling, play or filial sessions for children, young people and their parents/carers.
-
e Pre-bereavement support for families affected by a terminal illness diagnosis.
-
¢ Telephone information and advice helpline for parents, carers and professionals.
-
¢ Group activities including monthly peer support for children, two-day Residential Bereavement Camp, workshops, family groups and social events.
-
e Information and resources via our website.
-
e¢ Continual professional development for staff and training for volunteers and professionals.
The Children’s Bereavement Centre has been operating for 19 years and remains the only dedicated children’s bereavement charity providing a range of free support for 3-18 years from Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. It works alongside other social care providers to provide holistic care on a case-by-case basis and continues to heip fill a gap in local service provision.
Helping children and young people cope with bereavement is vital work, as the resulting grief can impact every sphere of their life. The charity, using various models and techniques of support, empowers children and their families to manage their grief which has been proven to reduce the adverse effects that children and young people can suffer.
In the past year, over 90% of those accessing support had experienced the death of a close family member and over 70% experienced trauma due to sudden death, suicide, Covid-19, chronic illness, murder or road accident. Through our own monitoring systems, feedback and surveys, we can evidence the difference support has made for those families including significant improvements in their confidence and self-esteem, education and/or attendance at school, relationships with family and friends and feeling safer. 63% improved their feelings and/or behaviours.

CHILDREN’S BEREAVEMENT CENTRE (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued) FINANCIAL REVIEW (continued)
During the start of the pandemic in 2020, the charity was fortunate to receive a lot of emergency grant funding which, at a time when fundraising and events were hit hard, enabled the charity to build up its reserves as part of our plan to recover in the following year. Unfortunately, 2021 also proved financially challenging due to the competitiveness of grant funding and impact on events, but thanks to an unexpected large donation and the support within our local community, our voluntary income substantially increased.
Despite those financial challenges, the charity felt it necessary to invest in service-delivery through the recruitment of Bereavement Counsellors to help meet the highest demand for support in our history. It has also been working to diversify income further through developing more events, campaigns and earned income opportunities to help increase income in the following year. It remains ambitious and innovative to meet those demands whilst ensuring the charity works within its reserves policy.
It is as always thanks to the local community and grant/statutory funders who have supported us that we have again been able to support so many bereaved children, young people and their families. Without this support, many of hundreds of families would not have got the vital specialist support they needed.
Our local community consists of many individuals, organisations and businesses who give their time, money and expertise, including a passionate and dedicated team of staff and volunteers. In this year, this included an individual donation from S.Pynegar for which we would like to give special thanks. Everyone has enabled so much to be achieved during unprecedented challenging times and help those families facing the most extraordinary challenges.
Reserves Policy
Our retained reserves at 31 March 2022 were £208,496 (2021 - £293,013),
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 £208,496 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
As expected, this financial year has been particularly challenging for the charity with a significant increase in referrals and need for telephone advice and guidance, at a time when fundraising and events have had to be cancelled or postponed due to government restrictions. Despite that the Children’s Bereavement Centre has directly supported hundreds of families, which has been a major achievement, and is now looking to grow its income and capacity to enable more families and professionals to receive the support they need, when they need it. It will achieve this through learning from the past year, listening to stakeholders and working to retain and increase the goodwill it has in the local community to increase the number of people supporting the charity with their time, donations and expertise.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS AND TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022 (continued)
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 2022 which are set out on pages 6 to 14.
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, e 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.
