RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire
Trustees, Report
Chairperson's Report 202312024
This year has been marked by loss, not financial or due to market forces but of a much more significant kind. we
have lost a dear and valued friend and colleague, Pat Calvert. Pat, who ha5 been with us as a member of the
Relate family for 20 years died in July 2023 after so many years of dedicated service. She is sorely missed.
By comparison the commercial events of the year seem unimportant, but our continued success is driven by the
effort of those who remain, and their dedication ensures that we remain viable and able to continue our
important work. Relate Hull and East Yorkshire continues to perform well, the contract work has remained stable
allowing us to plan ahead and to secure continuou5 employment for our much-valued colleagues.
We welcomed Jayde Hall to our Management team which has strengthened the skills base and is part of our
succession planning route making us fit for the future. We are still providing a hybrid approach which continues
to provide the flexibility needed in both our clients and our Counsellors, lifestyles. We have been able to make
some further improvements to the working environment both for clients and colleagues and this has helped with
8eneral wellbeing for all. Our supporters have continued to provide grants that have allowed us to make these
changes, and we are grateful for their support.
On the commercial front, at a time when disposable income has decreased for many, our charlty shop provides
dual purpose, serving as a benefit to the community and also an income for the benefit of the charity. The
volunteers who give their time freely to allow us to continue with the charity shop cannot be commended more
highly. we thank them for their continued commitment. We would also like to offer our thanks to Vicky Mandam
who stepped in to cover the co￿rdinatiOn of the Charity Shop team.
We continue to review our processes to ensure that we provide a robust and cost-effective servlce to our
customers, clients and staff Members. A new messa8in8 System has been Introduced that has increased our
ability to make better use of appointments that have previously been wasted.
We continued to provide Counselling for NHS employees under an extended contract with Humber Coast and
Vale and we are already planning for the changes within the areas that CAFCASS require covering in the next
contract due in April 2024. A new 3-year Business Plan 15 being produced and is being shared with the Trustees,
this is an ongoing activity which will be signed off in the coming financial year.
Once again. we thank our Team who have continued to provide the excellent service, we have come to expect in
driving Relate Hull and East Yorkshire forward. On behalf of the Trustees, we would like to thank Debbie Andrew
who provides excellent leadership and dirertion for the whole team, we know Relate Hull and East Yorkshire is in
safe hands.

Trllstees, Report
Going con￿rn
The Charity depends on contracts from various bodies. who are affected by the current economic climate and
funding decisions by Local and National Bodies. but the trustees are confident that the accounts can be
prepared on a going concern basis.
Structurei governance and management
Nature oAqovernlnq document
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee and constitutes a limited company as defined by the Companies
Att 2006 and is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust.
Charity Status was given on 28th May 2004 and was incorporated on 8th April 2004.
RELATE Hull & East Yorkshire is part of the RELATE Federation but nevertheless is a separate Charity in its own
right and as such has to raise its own funds.
Recruitment and oppolntmentof trustees
RELATE Hull & East Yorkshire recognises that an effective board of trustees is essential if the Charity is to be
effective in achieving its objectives. The board must seek to be representative of the people with whom the
charity works and must have available to it all of the knowledge and skills required to run the Charity.
Individual trustees must have sufficient knowledge, both of trusteeship in general and of the Charity's
activities, to enable them to carry out their role and to represent the Charity at meetings and other events.
RELATE Hull & East Yorkshire seeks to ensure diversity in its board of trustees as well as in its staff base and
consideration will be given to ways In whlch groups that are under-represented on the board might be reached
and encouraged to apply. However, at the point of selection the board will not discriminate unfairly on any of
the grounds listed in the Equal Opportunities Policy.

Majorrisks and manogementof those risk5
Risk Management
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, these include loss of contract work
and the loss of the Hull BuildinL which is leased.
The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to rnitiBate exposure to the major risks.
We have expanded the number and range of contracts to ensure that the loss ofsome contracts would not
greatly affect our provision of services and employment of our current staff.
Guiding Principles
The Directors of Relate acknowledge that future needs of beneficiaries must not be compromised in providing
current services and so future risks and liabilities need to be 3$5essed periodically in order to maintain a
proportionate and adequate level of reserves. It is also recognised that free reserves are to be the value of
unrestricted funds, less the current value of any fixed assets held as unrestricted funds.
Reasons for maintaining reserves:
Cash Flow- Some funds are claimed and received retrospectively. This may be on a monthly or quarterly basis.
It would also be necessary to allow for actual payment from clalm date, and thls alone could be a further
month. Uncertainty - Some funding arrangements are made retrospectively. Some service levels
agreements are not fully agreed until June/July each year, although they are to start in April. We may be
expending funds in good faith that we may not be able to recover. Also, negative outcomes may mean
redundancies that would need funding:
Some funded projects incur unexpected expenditure beyond budget levels.
Certainty some funding will end at a pre-determined date, and projects may continue for an Intervenlng
period until new funding is identified.
Some funded projects expenditure trends may indicate that the projett will be set to overspend beyond
agreed fundin8 and may need top-up funds.
rinancial instruments
Objertlves ondpollcles
The charity's activities expose it to 3 number of financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity
risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity's policies approved by the board of trustees.
which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not
use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Coshflow risk
The charivs activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and interest rates. The charity uses foreign exchange forward contratts and interest rate swap contracts to
hedge these exposures.
Interest bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.
Page 9

RELATE Hull and East Yorkshire
Trustees, Report
Credlt rfsk
The ¢harit¢s principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and
investments. The charl￿S credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented
in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubrful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made
where there is an identified105s event which. based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the
recoverability of the cash flows.
The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are
banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.
The charity has no significant concentration of credit risk. with exposure spread over a lar8e number of
counterparties and ¢ustorners.
Llquidity risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future
developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term debt finance.
Further details re8ardin8 liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of Accounting policies in the financial
statements.

Flnanclal Instruments
a055lficotlon
Financial assets and financlal liabilities are recognised when the charity becomes a party to the contractual

of the charity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Recognition andmeasurement
All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price (including transaction costs), Èxcept
for those financial assets classified as at fair value through profit or loss. which are initially measured at fair
value {which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs), unless the arrangement constitutes
a financing transattion. If an arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, the financial asset or financial
liability is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a
similar debt instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the statement of financial position when, and only when there
exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the charity intends either to settle on a
net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Financial assets are derecognised when and only when a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire or are settled, b) the charity transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and
rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or cl the charity, despite having retained some, but not all,
significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Financial liabilities are derecognised only when the obligation specified In the Contratt is discharged, cancelled
or expires.

Debt Instruments
Debt instruments which meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method:
(a) The contractual return to the holder is li) a fixed amount: {iil a positive fixed rate or a positive variable rate;
or liiil a combination of a positive or a negative fixed rate and a positive variable rate.
(b) The contract may provide for repayments of the principal or the return to the holder (but not both) to be
linked to a single relevant observable index of general price inflation of the currenLry in which the debt
instrument is denominated, provided such Ilnks are not leveraged.
(c) The contract may provide for a determinable variation of the return to the holder durin8 the life of the
instrument, provided that lil the new rate satisfies condition {al and the variation is not contingent on future
events other than 111 a change of a contractual variable rate; 121 to protect the holder against credit
deterioration of the issuer;13) changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant
taxation or law; or {ii) the new rate is a market rate of interest and satisfies condition {al.
(d) There is no contractual provision that could, by its terms, result in the holder loslng the principal amount or
any interest attributable to the current period or prior periods.
(e) Contractual provlsions that permit the issuer to prepay a debt instrument or permit the holder to put it
back to the issuer before maturity are not contingent on future events, other than to protect the holder
against the credit deterioration of the issuer or a change in control of the issuer, or to protect the holder or
issuer against changes in levies applied by a central bank or arising from changes in relevant taxation or law.
(0 Contractual provisions may permit the extension of the term of the debt instrument, provided that the
return to the holder and any other contractual provisions applicable durlng the extended term satisfy the
conditions of paragraphs {al to Icl.
Debt instruments that are classified as payable or receivable within one year on inltial recognition and which
meet the above conditions are measured at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration
expected to be paid or received, net of impairment.
With the exception of some hedging instruments. other debt instruments not meeting these conditions are
measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Commitments to make and receive loans which meet the conditions mentioned above are measured at cost
(which may be nil) le55 impairment.
Investments
Investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary or preference shares (where
shares are publicly traded or their fair value is reliably measurable) are measured at fair value through profit or
loss. Where fair value cannot be measured reliably, investments are measured at cost less impairment.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are measured at cost less impairment. For investments in
subsidiaries acquired for consideration including the issue of shares qualifying for merger relief, cost is
measured by reference to the nominal value of the shares issued plus fair value of other consideration. Any
premium is ignored.

Derivativefinanciolinstruments
The charity uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange risk and interest rate
movements. The charity does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date a derivative contrart is entered into and are
subsequently remeasured to their fair value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or10s5 is recognised in
statement of financial activities immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging
instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in statement of financial activities depends on the
nature of the hedge relationship.
Falr value meq5urement
The best evidence of fair value is a quoted price for an identical asset in an active market. When quoted prices
are unavailable. the price of a recent transaction for an identical asset provides evidence of fair value as long
as there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances or a significant lapse of time since the
transaction took place. If the market is not active and recent transactions of an identical asset on their own are
not a good estimate of fair value, the fair value is estimated by using a valuation technique.
