Chairs’ Report

Relate is the leading relationships charity, and we are the largest provider of relationship support in England and Wales.

We are there for every relationship, providing a comprehensive system of support through counselling, specialist domestic abuse services, training, and digital services. We are for everyone looking for understanding, support, and the confidence to choose how to move forward in their relationships. Over the 2023/24 financial year, we have made huge strides in becoming even more relatable and accessible, through building on Relate’s re-branding and ensuring we are reaching our communities across Coventry & Warwickshire.

During the year we have seen an increase for face-to-face counselling, we have reversed our counselling offer of 90% of sessions being offered online during the pandemic to 10% in the year. This year has been successful with an increase in funding for our perpetrator programme, Choose 2 Change, funded by the OPCC (Office of Police and Crime Commissioning. The board is delighted that we have successfully fundraised for our muchneeded children and young people’s counselling service, Time For You in the Community and our heartfelt thanks to Alan Edward Higgs Charitable Trust, Masonic Trust, 29th May Charitable Trust and the Eveson Charitable Trust. This funding will enable us to offer free counselling services to the most disadvantaged children across Coventry & Warwickshire.

We have worked extremely hard during the year to ensure that the local community can access our range of services, offering support to families who are on a low income and families feeling the pressure regarding the cost-of-living crisis. Our ethos is to ensure that every person can receive support irrespective of income. We are fortunate to have a diversity of contracts to deliver services to children and young people, adults and families across Coventry and Warwickshire, working as required with partner agencies.

During the year we have recruited new counsellors and domestic abuse practitioners and our workforce plan to recruit and train more relationship counsellors in the next 5 years is on schedule. We also continued to increase the breadth of knowledge and experience on the Trustee Board, recruiting new trustees to offer us the skills and knowledge to support our organisation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our funders for their support which has enabled our organisation to offer bursaries for clients to assist in covering the costs for those people who are unable to afford the full fee. We will continue into 2024 to reach as many people as possible in our local community who need our help and support. I am grateful to the trustees, management team, colleagues, and volunteers, our partnerships with local charities, Coventry City Council and Warwickshire County Council, who enable us to continue to provide services. We remain focused on providing timely, and cost-effective approaches to alleviate issues prevalent in modern society. As ever, the main asset of the Charity is our staff and volunteers, and I would like to thank them all for their hard work and continued commitment for the families in our community. I would also like to express my gratitude to my fellow trustees for their support, dedication, and valued contributions over this year.

Mark Monaghan Chair, Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

Report of the Trustees

2. Structure, Governance and Management

Legal and constitutional basis

Relate is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Articles of Association (2014).

2.1 Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is the governing body of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire. Relate Coventry & Warwickshire is a member of the Relate Federation and pays a membership fee, holding a license agreement to trade as Relate.

The Committee meets quarterly. Its main responsibilities are listed below:

2.2 Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Trustees are recruited on a regular basis according to the need for skills and expertise within the team. We attend functions based in a variety of sectors and offer invitations to find out more about Relate. We ensure that Trustees reflect the diversity of clients within Relate and the Coventry & Warwickshire community.

Finance and Audit Committee

2.3 Chief Executive and Senior Management Team

Report of the Trustees

2.4 Risk management

The Trustees are responsible for the management of the risks faced by the Charity. Detailed consideration of risks is delegated to the Finance Committee, which is assisted by senior members of staff. The strategic risks facing the organisation are those risks “owned” by the Charity’s trustees and are regularly reviewed by the Finance and Audit Committee. Relate’s project management framework helps senior management and trustees to monitor outcomes against strategic priorities. Relate’s Strategic Risk Register has identified the following as the key strategic risks it faces: Unwitting breaches of legislation, or compliance with, for example:

Not having the right people with the right skills, attitudes and behaviour to deliver the corporate strategy across the whole organisation. Risks are identified annually and reviewed on a quarterly basis. Significant changes are subsequently reported to the Finance and audit committee. Relate also manages specific projects, each of which have their own project risk register, which are regularly reviewed as part of the performance management within the organisation.

In addition to the specific risk management mechanism described above, a number of other key controls help trustees manage the major risks facing the charity.

Through these key controls, the Trustees continue to strive to manage the major risks identified in the Charity’s risk register. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Good governance is an integral part of how we operate, and our compliance is reviewed regularly in our Finance and Audit committees and at the full board meetings. A key element is to ensure that we monitor performance against budgets and the opportunity to review and amend is acted upon. Our Risk Register is key in how the business element of our charity is monitored and risks are categorised and scored manage them appropriately and mitigate wherever possible. We understand and appreciate the importance of good governance, and this has a continual influence on the senior management team and the Board.

“Brilliant relationship with my partner now. If we disagree, we sit down and talk and come up with alternatives.” “I have learnt a lot about techniques of how to manage anger.”

Partner’s Feedback:

“My partner has learnt loads since going to C2C. One module was a little triggering for him, but he felt supported throughout the course, and we discussed this as a couple and talked through it.”

Report of the Trustees

Financial Review

6. Overview

The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) set out on page 27 shows the total income and total expenditure during 2023/24 as compared to the prior year.

The overall result was a net surplus for the year of £42,760 (2022/23: (£17,454).

6.1 Financial Investments

The Executive Committee’s investment policy is reviewed annually as part of the review of the Financial Policies and Procedures. The cash balances fluctuate throughout the year. The policy enables cash that is not immediately required to be invested subject to risk being minimised and access being rapid, within institutions that are members of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS). Within this framework the best interest rates are sought, and performance is regularly reviewed. We have a savings account which matures interest every three months, and the interest is currently reinvested.

6.2 Reserves policy

The definition of reserves follows the guidance given by the Charity Commission. They are funds available to be used to furtherance of the charitable objects which have not yet been spent, committed, or designated.

They therefore exclude restricted funds (where donors impose criteria for their use), fixed assets (which are in current use to support the ongoing work of the charity) and funds designated for specific purposes.

The calculation of easily realizable reserves is shown in note 17 and shows an increase in the year of £42,760. To date the board has set a target reserves policy of between 4 – 6 months of expenditure. The Trustees reviewed the Reserves policy in March 2024 as part of the risk management process. The trustees consider that unrestricted funds should not exceed six months of resources expended. A minimum target of easily realisable reserves is set between £366,000 and £550,000. This target in the current uncertain climate is a prudent measure.

6.3 Land and Buildings

The Executive Committee authorised a new valuation on the New House property, which will take place in the new financial year. The previous valuation of the property is currently £400,000.

6.4 Principal funding sources

There is a comprehensive system of business planning which includes an annual budget reviewed in detail by the Finance, Premises and Fundraising Sub Committee and approved

Report of the Trustees

by the Executive Committee. Monthly actual results are reported against the budget and revised forecasts for the year are prepared regularly. The Executive Committee reviews the latest management accounts at each meeting.

Relate Coventry & Warwickshire continues to have a wide range of income streams from several bodies including:

PTFC – funded through CAFCASS – Parenting together for children (PTFC) for parents who have separated or divorced. The aim is to focus parents on the needs of their children, to work together in the best interests of their children. The funding for this financial year is £66k. We have been successful with the new commissioned programme and will be a subcontractor for Action for Children commencing 01.04.2023.

Clinical Commissioning Group – £54k received each year to provide an outreach service in several GP Practices throughout the City. The grant also funds a bursary scheme to support adults to access our services if they are on low income or be benefits. This contract is renewable on a yearly basis.

Independent Auditors Report

8. Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

8.1 Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

8.2 Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

8.4 Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

8.5 Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the directors’ report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

8.6 Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement set out on the following pages, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

8.7 Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

The audit process includes an assessment of the entity’s risk environment, through enquiry of and discussion with management and those charged with governance, including an assessment of any key laws and regulations with which the charitable company must comply in the ordinary course of its operations.

Additionally, the overall risks of irregular transactions occurring are assessed following our observations and confirmation of the design and implementation of management’s controls. Whilst we are mindful of these risks, our audit focus is geared towards the risk of material misstatement in the financial statements as a whole.

As such, our procedures cannot guarantee that all transactions have been fully compliant with all relevant laws and regulations, including those regulations relating to fraud, as our procedures are not designed to detect all instances of non-compliance. By definition, the risk of our detection of non-compliance is greater where compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. The

22

==> picture [99 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Report and Accounts for year ended 31st March 2024

Report of the independent auditors to the members of Relate Coventry & Warwickshire

risk is also greater regarding irregularities due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditors/audit-assurance/auditor-s-responsibilitiesfor-the-audit-of-the-fi/description-of-the-auditor’s-responsibilities-for. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

8.8. Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to financial statements

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income is deferred where it has been received ahead of the period where the use of funds will incur. Usually this will relate either to appointments where a deposit has been received in the current accounting period, but the appointment will be conducted in the following accounting period, or where income has been invoiced in advance for services to be delivered in agreed sessions in future periods.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated directly to the fund and activity that they relate to. Where the costs are shared between activities or funds, an apportionment is made based on the units of work conducted for the units sharing the costs.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 25% on cost

28

Report and Accounts for year ended 31st March 2024

==> picture [99 x 35] intentionally omitted <==

Notes to financial statements

The trustees consider that the residual value of the property is materially similar to the carrying value. Depreciation is therefore not considered to be a material amount and no provision for depreciation is made in the financial statements.

Investment property

Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
