## **Objectives and activities** 

## **The charity's objects** 

The protection and preservation of good health by promoting the safety and wellbeing of sex workers and those who are, have or could be at risk of exploitation by the provision of advocacy services that offer choice, support and empowerment to those people. 

The advancement of education for the public benefit in this area of work, in particular by the provision of advice and information to communities and organisations to help reduce stigma and discrimination of sex workers and those who are, have or could be at risk of exploitation within society. 

To provide services in Yorkshire and other areas as the Trustees think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected to the charitable work of the charity. 

## **The charity's main activities** 

Delivering safety, information and support services to women and young people in the communities that we operate. Provision of direct support and advocacy, working closely with partners to achieve better safety and reduction of harm. 

## **Basis Sex Work and Adult Exploitation** 

We continue to support women (or identifying as) selling sex who access our services provided through outreach, community-based work, with partners and via digital technologies.  We also provide support for those women who identify as survivors and who have or are experiencing sexual abuse and exploitation (including but not only women who sell sex). 

## **Young People’s sexual exploitation service** 

Over the last year we have continued to provide 1-2-1 services to children and young people across Yorkshire (Leeds and Bradford) and Humberside (Hull). 

## **Basis Training** 

We have continued to strengthen capacity in the sector to respond better to sex workers and those who are experiencing sexual exploitation and abuse, through the delivery of training and workshops for both local and national audiences including professionals working in residential settings, Social Care, Police, NHS and 3rd sector partners.

## **Basis Yorkshire Ltd** 

## **Year Ended 30th September 2021** 

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

The ongoing pandemic meant that services were adapted from time to time to reflect the risks faced by meeting in person and due to the impact of at times reduced capacity from staff due to being affected by Covid. 

## **Governance** 

Working Groups are accountable to Basis Board of Trustees with a dedicated Trustee lead on each group, providing oversight and scrutiny to the organisation: 

- Finance Working Group 

- Workforce Development Group 

- Health, Safety and Safeguarding 

- Income Generation 

- Strategy and Governance 

- Quality and Performance 

- Equalities and Diversity 

We have continued to develop our Board through this financial year, adding commercial, systems leadership and health specialisms to our already highly skilled and experienced Trustees. 

The Board of Trustees now has more members who are based outside of Leeds who have been recruited based on the match between our activities and their professional expertise. 

## **Public benefit statement** 

In setting our objectives and planning our activities the trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular, ‘the prevention or relief of poverty, the advancement of education, the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, illhealth, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'. 

Basis’ work is wholly focussed on its agreed charitable objects which we have re-stated and recommitted to our specialist work in recent years. We are clear that despite a complex and challenging field of work, we are working to enable women and young people to have increased agency and control and challenge exploitation and abuse, bringing to justice those in our communities who target those made vulnerable. In addition, we’ve continued to engage with the wider community and benefitted from the contributions of our committed and invaluable volunteers. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Basis Yorkshire have been supporting and advocating for vulnerable women and young people for over 30 years, challenging stigma and recognising and challenging the impact of systems on those we work with providing 1-2-1 dedicated support to those who are most marginalised. Covid meant that this year again saw continued adaptation of our services in line with changes to client needs, Covid risk and regulation including hosting or facilitating access to specialist vaccine sessions (linked to the prioritization of sex workers as a vulnerable group needing additional outreach and prioritization by Leeds Public Health). Our street outreach started again in July 2021 and has continued; and our drop in re-opened over the summer. Despite the significant challenges; it has presented us greater opportunities to work in wider partnership work locally, regionally and nationally to highlight specific issues around sex worker exclusion during Covid. 

The council’s decision in June 2021 to step away from the Managed Approach has not stopped us delivering our service but has made it more difficult to engage with women. While the resumption of our outreach service has helped re-engagement with women in the area and the support of the police in the area remains in place, the lack of clarity around criminalisation of soliciting may mean women are more distrustful of the police other than in the case of serious incidents or work later to avoid the police altogether, thus leaving them less safe. The messaging regarding the closure of the area may also mean those buying sex are more likely to stay away from the area as will, therefore, the women;

even if this means having less support and protection, for instance due to working from home or residential areas. As a service, we continue to monitor the situation and how we can respond to it. 

This year we expanded our offer to women with more specialist support for those experiencing domestic violence. The team supporting young people now also offer early intervention sessions to young people who have been identified as at risk of sexual exploitation and abuse and by working with groups in schools to enable them to recognise healthy relationships, understand consent and seek support where needed. 

As a charity we recognise that we are able to have a much bigger impact by not only delivering a service; but also by identifying systems that were designed in a way that do not meet the needs of the most marginalised communities including those the charity supports. In the past year, we have not only delivered an increasing number of services to women and young people, we are pleased to see slow but gradual systemic changes in the design of health and housing sector in response to women and young people’s voices in Leeds and an interest in our ambition to change these on a national level. We are passionate about working in partnership: whether this is when we support a woman or young person or whether we are seeking strategic change, offering unique insights based on evidence from our work, where possible delivered directly by women and young people themselves. 

Throughout the past year we have engaged with over 300 adult women (with an average caseload of more than 50) and over 70 young people; in total we have seen many more throughout the year through ad-hoc interventions. Through our training and our awareness raising, many more will have benefited from improved responsiveness to needs. 

We continue to embrace learning and ensure this is embedded in our own practice and that of others. In the past year this has seen us contribute to an NHIR funded study to understand the impact of Covid-19 on the drug and alcohol services in Leeds, and the changes that staff and service users experienced led by the consortium of four universities led by University of Hertfordshire (known as Central PHIRST) working alongside colleagues from harm reduction and other third sector and statutory partners.   We played a key role in the publication of a Toolkit (with our STAGE partnership) sharing evidence from the consortium’s work with victims of sexual exploitation with substantial input from women who were supported by this program of work. We engaged in numerous pieces of research aimed at Ending Violence Against Women and Girls (alongside key partnership such as Women’s Lives Leeds) and to improve access to Health Care; working closely with women and young people with lived experience including facilitating direct meetings with key regional stakeholders. 

We are excited about the opportunity we are involved in to transform approaches to address health inequalities as a founding partner of the Leeds based Healthy Communities Together partnership (alongside 3 other charities, Leeds Public Health and CCG) funded by the National Lottery/Kings Fund. To date, we have undertaken an initial piece of work to explore the potential to invest further (3 years) funding to identify and develop different ways of engaging communities who are typically marginalized and excluded from services including sex workers; this will include improving understanding with commissioning and service development as well as building capacity of members of marginalized communities to directly engage and challenge current health systems. 

Supported by our Inclusion and Participation work, we conducted our own research working closely with women we support to share their experiences of housing and health, with findings shared in 2 key publications aimed at shining a light on and advocating for reducing barriers to housing and health experienced by sex workers. These have already proved beneficial in informing strategy and practice in Leeds. As a consequence, we are now a founding member (in partnership with Leeds Women’s Aid and Together Women) and lead facilitator of the Leeds Women’s Homelessness & Housing Frontline Network bringing together frontline practitioners supporting women who are homeless to hold those in authority and responsible for the strategy to end homelessness to account and share their experiences; influencing the future direction of decision making.

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

Our own research and experience from day-to-day practice as well as national research is used to inform our training and workshops we deliver locally and nationally on working with sex workers and understanding and responding to sexual exploitation as well as specific areas of work on accessing health and our work to improve responses to homelessness, reaching professionals from the public and third sector from around the country with highly positive feedback. 

## **Service user feedback** 

“Thank you for staying with me and helping me you’ve changed my life for the better without you I wouldn’t be here who I am today.” 

“I’ve been able to get my life back on track and more importantly I’ve stopped sex work, I wouldn’t have without your help. “ 

## **Stakeholder feedback** 

“I’ve not worked closely with anyone from Basis before and I’ve learned a lot more about your team and their approach and have so much respect for the work you all do.” 

“The training has given me more confidence in my knowledge so will help me going forward in my delivery of sessions to Young People.” 

## **Community feedback** 

“Thank you so much for the work you do in our community”

## **Trustees Annual Report** 

## **Financial review** 

The net income for the year was £118,698 including net income of £37,725 on unrestricted funds and net income of £80,973 on restricted funds. The total income received during the year was £942,717 split between unrestricted income of £345,084 and restricted income £597,633. The income represents an increase of £129,426 which was driven by an increase in the number of grants and donations received during the year and the timing of them. Three sources of funding were received very close to the year end which have been carried forward as restricted funds to be used in the 2021/22 financial year. These three funds included Front Line, Mini Bus Development and Leeds Hospital Charity which totalled £84,257. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year-end was £216,052. This is inclusive of general unrestricted funds and designated funds. 

Compared to future budgeted expenditure of £801k this represents approximately 3 months of budgeted expenditure. 

The Board of trustees is keenly aware of the need to secure our viability beyond the immediate future. In order to be able to provide reliable services over the longer term, we must be able to absorb setbacks and take advantage of change and opportunity. We provide for this by putting aside, when we can afford it, some of our current income as a reserve against future uncertainties. 

The reserves policy has been developed on a risk identification approach based on an understanding of our income streams and their risk profile, the degree of commitment to expenditure and the overall risk environment in which we operate. Risk assessments are conducted annually to consider the reliability of income and the extent to which expenditure is committed, as well as the major risks to which the charity is exposed. 

- The trustees’ reserves policy requires unrestricted funds to be split between designated and non designated funds. The designated funds comprise the Contingency Fund (the amount set aside for costs should the charity need to be wound up or restructured £82,200) and the Future Development Fund (the amount set aside for strategic development £80,900). 

At the time of approving the Financial Statements the trustees have considered the financial position of the charity in terms of the financial effects of the ongoing effects from the coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic and cost of living crisis. Whilst the trustees anticipate some further negative effects in terms of trading income and increased expenditure to support service users; the trustees have concluded that there are no material uncertainties so significant as to cast doubt over the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. The organisation holds indemnity insurance as part services it provides in line with best practise.

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards. 

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 and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- 

   - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the Financial Statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Basis Yorkshire Ltd ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. 

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. I have completed my examination.

2. the Financial Statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the Financial Statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the Financial Statements give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

4. the Financial Statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their Financial Statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

## **Basis Yorkshire Ltd** 

## **Year Ended 30th September 2021** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of Preparation** 

These Financial Statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by 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).The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Assessment of Going Concern** 

Preparation of the Financial Statements is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees, at their discretion, have set aside resources for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by the donor or the term of specific appeal. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the Financial Statements. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are recognised once the charity has entitlement to the resources, it is probable that the resources will be received, and the monetary value of incoming resources can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

## **Basis Yorkshire Ltd** 

## **Year Ended 30th September 2021** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements** 

## **Expenditure and liabilities** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. 

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: 

|Office Equipment|25%|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and Fittings|15%|



## **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 cashgenerating 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. 

## **Operating Leases** 

Rental charges payable under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the terms of the lease. 

## **Taxation** 

As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates. 

## **Legal Status of the Charity**

## **16 Prior Period Adjustment** 

During the year it was concluded that three contracted services Basis provides for the council and another local charity did not meet the Charity SORP's definition of a restricted fund. Historically both funding streams have been accounted for as restricted funding. 

A prior period adjust has been put through the accounts to reflect the fact that these two income streams are in fact unrestricted.
