Statement from the Chief Executive
2020 was an unpresented year for all of us as we responded to the COVID 19 pandemic. In the first quarter of the year as lockdown measures were introduced, we made use of the Government job retention scheme to protect employees working in corporate roles and in our youth services team. As lockdown restrictions eased our staff were both flexible and resilient in the way they continuously adapted their services to meet the needs of our clients. Our staff noticed increased demand in the areas of fraud, violence and anti-social behaviour.
At Christmas in partnership with the Cohen Trust we distributed hampers to 22 families in need in the Middlesbrough area benefiting 57 individuals and providing a lifeline to those particularly impacted by COVID this year.
Our work gained local recognition, In November 2020 Safer Communities were highly commended in the North East Charity Awards for the Outstanding Social Enterprise Award. In March 2021 Safer Communities were shortlisted for a Continuous Improvements to Tackling Hate Crime, LGBT Alliance Award with Stockton-based organisation, Hart Gables.
We are extremely grateful to all our funders and investors. NHS England and the Police and Crime Commissioners from Cleveland, Northumbria, Country Durham and Darlington. We are proud of the additional investment we have achieved this year through the National Youth Endowment Fund and the Lt Colonel Nat Cohen Trust. This new investment has enabled Safer Communities to establish exciting and new models of working in Trauma Informed Practice with families in Middlesbrough. With additional investment from the Home Office Safer Streets Fund we were able to set up a mediation service in response to a rise in the number of neighbourhood disputes and anti social behaviour reported.

Achievements and performance
The following summarises the main achievements of the organisation for the period covered by this audit.
Providing a positive future for children and young people
Lt Colonel Nat Cohen Trust - Seen Heard Believed Programme
In June 2020 we established a new programme, working in partnership with Middlesbrough Council's early help team to provide direct support to families, particularly those who won't engage with statutory services. We have developed a trauma informed approach to our work and use this to support children, young people and their families to move forward.
'Working with Family Practitioners from Safer Communities ensured I was set up in a new house to care for my children with them coming back into my care for the first time in their lives. The support allowed me to develop my parenting style to teenagers with no judgement or fear of making mistakes, they really made the transition for me and my children easy. I am really grateful for the support they have offered.' Client Testimonial
Cleveland Police Cadets
Our programme run by a team of volunteers, supported by Safer Communities staff provides 120 young people aged 13 - 17 opportunities to take part in key community activities and support the work of Cleveland Police. At the beginning of the pandemic the weekly cadet meetings were paused following National Youth Agency Guidance. However the cadets in partnership with Age UK were able to provide a much needed pen pal service to isolated and lonely residents who were living alone during the pandemic. The cadets also created online awareness raising campaigns including a video created to highlight how to get help and support for those experiencing domestic abuse. The video received national recognition and was featured on Sky News.
'Police Cadets opened doors and helped me achieve things I never thought I would've been capable of. At the time of joining, I was struggling with social anxiety and feeling like I didn't fit in at school, I remember my first session and the happiness I felt as I told my mam I had finally found 'my people' who shared the same interests as me. Not only has cadets helped me feel comfortable in being myself, it also helped me find my voice and the confidence I had lost.' Cadet Testimonial
'I've been a Cadet for four years now and three years of them I have been a Senior Cadet. In this time I have been awarded the Chief Constable Commendation, which I wouldn't have been able to do without the confidence I have gained from being a part of the cadet program. Alongside this I have gained new skills and loads of experience. I have met new people who have helped me get to where I am now and where I want to be. Being a cadet is the most rewarding thing I could have done. I am so honoured to be a part of the Cadet Programme and I wouldn't change it for the world. I can't wait to get back to meeting up with everyone.'

Achievements and performance (continued)
Youth Endownment Fund - COVID Relief Fund
The positive pathways project delivered a range of pop-up activities: sports, music, social action, 1:1, group work and health & wellbeing projects as an approach to altering behaviour and raising aspirations beyond gang and crime culture. The project was delivered across Middlesbrough over a 12 month period. Where national lockdown restrictions prohibited our street based youth outreach, we moved delivery to twice weekly virtual youth clubs. Outcomes from this project will inform the Government 'what works' in reducing serious violence' policies and decision making.
Transform the lives of victims of crime and supporting them to recover Victim Care and Advice Service
Safer Communities have delivered the Victim Care and Advice Service (VCAS) since 2016. The service is available to all victims 'of crime' across Cleveland, County Durham and Darlington. The Victim Care and Advice Service provide a free, independent and confidential service that responds to individual circumstances helping victims to cope with the initial impact and make a full recovery. During the audit period the Cleveland Victim Care and Advice Service team offered support to 8440 victims of crime and anti social behaviour. In Country Durham and Darlington we offered support to 6978 victims of crime. Where lockdown restrictions prevented delivery of our services in victims homes we adapted provision to outdoor walks, door step visits and telephone or virtual support.
Restorative Justice and Mediation Services
Our vision for Restorative Cleveland is to work in partnership to offer a high quality Restorative Justice Service. Restorative Justice is an opportunity for victims to seek answers to any questions they have about the crime such as 'we me?' in order to help them move forward. It ensures offenders are held accountable for their actions, in addition to providing an opportunity to understand the true impact of their behaviour on others. During the audit period, Restorative Cleveland supported 45 victims and 63 offenders.
'My experience with Restorative Justice was refreshingly positive, the way the team treat me like a normal person despite being incarcerated at the time had a profound effect on the remainder of my sentence and beyond. It's a crucial service on the path to a fresh start at life and a Clean Slate.'

Achievements and performance (continued)
North East SARC Support Service and SARC Teesside
The North East SARC Support Service provides a 24 hour, seven days a week service for anyone who has experienced rape, sexual assault or other sexual abuse. Over the period 1st April 2020- 31st March 2021, 1033 clients have been supported across Northumbria, Durham and Teesside. Our service continued to operate throughout COVID 19.
Create safe and sustainable communities
Fraud Prevention
Call blockers and Scambassadors
Our aim is to prevent victims of fraud from repeat victimisation. We offer call blockers through our team of dedicated volunteers. During the COVID pandemic we adapted our services by carrying out door step visits to clients and offering telephone based support.
Country Durham and Darlington Community Peer Mentors Project
The Peer Mentor programme was designed in response to pressure on frontline emergency services, and local councils by those who make frequent calls for help. The aim of the programme is to make people feel safe and improve the circumstances they have found themselves in as well as reduce the demand on frontline services. During the COVID pandemic the team changed their referral criteria to enable support to be given to those adversely affected by COVID 19. During the audit period demands for the service increased and 613 clients were supported by the service.
'Being a volunteer peer mentor is truly amazing, it's helped me develop skills in organising my day, workload and all the amazing online courses I got invited to do and still doing. It gives me a great deal of satisfaction in knowing that I've helped my clients. A very depressed and lonely client of mine tells me 'I'm their hope and security blanket, the light at the end of tunnel, a voice in my ear, a smile and giggle warms my heart, this makes me proud.'
Testimonial from a Client, who became a Volunteer
COVID 19
Our organisational response to the COVID 19 pandemic was to remain resilient, flexible and responsive. Our priority throughout the year was to put in place effort and measures to ensure our clients continued to receive excellent services whilst keeping them, our staff and volunteer safe. We invested heavily in our IT hardware and security, achieving Cyber Essential Plus accreditation. This enabled our staff greater access to devices from multiple locations including home working without compromising our information governance standards. We introduced new software to ensure staff were able to access virtual meetings from multiple platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, facetime and whatapp. We introduced more stringent standards for cleaning and infection control, investing more funding in cleaning, PPE, thermometers and COVID screens.
Safer Communities Plans for the Future:
-
Develop partnership and join working arrangements with Mitie Care and Custody to further improve our Sexual Assault Model across the north east.
-
Development of Corvette House as a Charity Hub in partnership with the Tees Valley Community Foundation.
-
Develop and expand our trauma informed approaches together with Middlesbrough's family Partnership Team, the Cohen Trust and KPMG Foundation.
-
Sustain and enhance our Victim Care and Advice Service.
-
Further develop and expand our restorative justice and mediation services.

Financial review
Reserves policy
On 31st March 2020 Safe in Tees Valley held unrestricted reserves of £341,995. General reserves includes fixed assets of £233,183. It is considered that reserves of the order are required for the following reasons:
These are very uncertain times and with most contracts operating on an annual basis significant funding can be lost at short notice. Reserves are vital to ensure that the organisation has the capacity to find alternative funding and/or meet all outstanding obligations.
Reserves at this level provide for 6 months running costs and sufficient funds to cover all contractual liabilities and when required can support cash flow where payments are made in arrears.
Funding Sources
The principle sources of funding received by Safer Communities are:
The Cleveland Police and Crime Commissioner The Durham Police Crime and Victim Commissioner NHS England
During the year the charity purchased the property Corvette House, a property from which the charity operates. The cost of the property amounted to £234,356, on which a 1st charge loan of £168,615 is secured. The trustees consider the current market value of the property based on like properties in the area to be £300,000.
Trustees' responsibilities statement
The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and accounting 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Safer Communities Limited
Year ended 31 March 2021
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Safer Communities Limited (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, 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 FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity'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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
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 charity 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.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ 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 any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
-
the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
2 Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
3 Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
4 Fund accounting
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the purposes of the charity. Unrestricted funds include a revaluation reserve representing the restatement of investment assets at market values.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for specific purposes.

5 Incoming resources
Income
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income, any performance related conditions attached have been met or are fully within the control of the charity, the income is considered probable and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
Donations and legacy income is received by way of donations, legacies, grants and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity but the criteria for income recognition have not been met, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
-
Investment income is included when receivable.
-
Income from charitable trading activity is accounted for when earned.
-
Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
6 Resources expended
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
-
Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting donations, grants and legacies and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
-
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
-
All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SOFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis, as set out in the notes to the accounts.
7 Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
8 Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
- 5% straight line Fixtures, fittings & equipment - 33% straight line
9 Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
10 Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
11 Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution plans (continued)
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
4. Limited by guarantee
Safer Communities is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital.
Every member of the company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.
