Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

The organisation is a registered as a charity and governed by its CONSTITUTION ADOPTED 10 NOVEMBER 2004, AS AMENDED 5 JANUARY 2005

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The charity trustees for the purpose of charity law are known as members of the Committee. Under the requirements of the charities constitution one third of the members of the Management Commitee must retire by rotation after which they can be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.

The Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. Therefore as part of the recruitment of trustees the group promotes the need of knowledge and experience to assist the charity.

In order to promote a broad mix, members of the Committee are requested to provide a list of their skills (and update it each year if re-elected) and in the event of particular skills being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Committee.

Trustee Induction and Training

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. Additionally, new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions (of no more than an hour) to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These are jointly led by the Chair of the Committee and the Secretary of the charity and cover:

The obligations of Committee members.
The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including its Constitution.
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts.
Future plans and objectives.

Chairpersons Report 2021

Once again 2021 continued with many of the challenges created by the Covid Pandemic that we faced in 2020 with rules and regulations changing frequently throughout the year.

The continued presence of the virus and the notifications to ‘normal’ life has further increased the need for our services and I would like to thank our trustees and volunteers for their commitment over this difficult period in providing much needed support to our service users.

The Covid restrictions has made it particularly difficult in promoting and marketing our Educational Toolkit. Despite this, we have continued with our progress in placing the toolkit into more schools and education establishments.

In particular I would to thank Goldsmiths Charity for their continued financial support.

I would like to thank all the people, companies and funders who have supported us throughout the year, making it possible for us to provide our services to those who depend on us for advice.

Gemma our Charity Manager has done a great job, enabling us to move the Charity forward.

Due to demands on our services we are pleased to report we have employed a Service Manager Debbie Thompson who is contributing much need expertise to Seed.

One of the highlights of the year was a Gala held at Goldsmiths Headquarters in London to celebrate our 21[st] Anniversary as a Charity, our sincere thanks to Gemma for all her hard work to make it a night we will never forget and to all the Artists and Sponsors for their support also.

Seed have worked hard to establish strong foundations needed to sustain the Charity in preparation for Marg (Secretary and Co-Founder) and myself Dennis Oaten (Treasurer, Cofounder and temporary Chairperson to step back, not down enabling us to enjoy more ME time in our retirement.

Finally Seed is always trying to develop new and innovative resources to help our service users and we are delighted to say that we have secured funding from the Hull and East Riding CCG for the development of Recovery After the Recovery Programme to be launched on the 1[st] April 2022

Financial Review

During the course of the financial year, the Charity loaned its CIC Seedlings £23,874 to support the ongoing development of its educational toolkit. The loan is reflected within the Balance Sheet as an Outstanding Debtor. It is anticipated that this loan will be repaid in part in the next financial year. As such, its Net overall Reserves figure has been recorded as £123,287 with Unrestricted Fee Reserves of £88,287 - £40,331 (2020) and Restricted Reserves of £35,000 - £24,781 (2020) moving forward.

Principal Funding Sources

The principal funding sources for the charity during the financial year were as follows:

City Health Care Partnership

Investment Policy

Aside from building up a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. A review of investment policies is undertaken at the end of each financial year.

Reserves Policy

Aside from building up a prudent amount in reserves, as specifies in the Scheme’s standing orders, most of the funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long-term investment. A review of the reserves policies is undertaken at the end of the financial year with a prudent allocation of designated funds as shown in these accounts.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts of SEED EATING DISORDERS SUPPORT SERVICES for the period 1st January 2021 to 31st December 2021

I report on the accounts of the charity set out on pages 9 to 12

This is a statutory independent examination.

Respective responsibilities of the Commitee and the examiner

Charity law requires the Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing financial statements, the Commitee should follow best practice and:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume
that the company will continue on that basis.

The Committee is 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 Charityies Act. The Committee is 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.

Members of the Committee

Members of the Management Committee, who are trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year up to the date of this report are set out on page 4.

Basis of independent examiner's report

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

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:
(a) to keep appropriate accounting records; and
(b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records

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.
