Trustees Annual Report

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2022. This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies’ exemption.

Structure, governance and management

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and was formed on 29 March 2007. It is governed by a memorandum and articles of association as amended 3 June 2015 and 27 February 2019. The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1.

The trustees of the charity are also the directors for the purposes of company law and are appointed by the members at the AGM.

The organisation holds and pays for trustee indemnity insurance.

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 anyone who identifies as a women who sell 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 sells 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 2022

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:

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, ill• health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage'.

Basis’ work is wholly focussed on its agreed charitable objects which we have re•stated and re• committed 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 aims to end stigma, create safety and promote empowerment for women and young people we work with through service delivery, partnership and system change; within this we aim to ensure women’s and young people’s voices are at the heart of every aspect of our work including campaigning, system change and wider leadership and governance of the organisation.

Recognising how systems continue to fail women and young people we work with drives us to continue our focus on system change in addition to continuing the vital work we do directly with women and young people. Inevitably this takes time and resources and we therefore prioritize working – in partnership to do so increasing the likelihood of long•term, sustainable change.

While the past year still saw some direct effect of Covid, our services were affected to a lesser extent and we were able to re•start and develop our services; acknowledging that the long•term impact of Covid is likely to be felt for years to come. At the same time, the impact of the cost of living crisis has started to have an impact across our service in a number of different ways and is likely to continue to do so for the next 12 months at least. First and foremost, the cost of living is affecting the people we support directly and indirectly (their families) with less funds for food, heating and ability to access services which risks impacting their physical and mental health; as well as making them more vulnerable to exploitation. Other consequences of the cost of living crisis are already being felt in the form of an increased cost base for the charity and the impact on our staff and their families; the charity continues to monitor this and explore how we can support our staff in this.

Trustees Annual Report

Within that context and the challenges faced, we are proud that we have largely been able to continue to deliver the service we offer throughout the year; although we were unable to sustain our Employment & Volunteering and our Inclusion and Participation worker we did expand our work in other areas; including with a specialist LGBTQ+ worker for young people experiencing sexual exploitation and a Domestic Violence and Housing worker for women who sex work.

In the past year, we have not only delivered an increasing number of services to women and young people, we are pleased to see 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. As a service this means ensuring the needs of those we support continue to be represented at the top of current relevant agendas including Health Inclusion, Hidden Homelessness, Violence Against Women and Girls, Modern Slavery, Domestic Violence and Child and Adult Exploitation as well as wider determinants of inequality including poverty and stigma.

Throughout the past year we have engaged directly with 247 adult women (with an average organisational caseload of more than 50 at any one time) and 124 young people; in addition to those women seeking support who may wish to stay anonymous. 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. We are now into Phase 2 of our Leeds Healthy Communities Together work which is aimed at learning from transformative approaches to address health inequalities for marginalized communities through working with cross•sectoral partnerships. In the past year we have also contributed to the development and numerous consultations and pieces of research including continuing the NHIR funded study to understand the impact of Covid•19 on the drug and alcohol services in Leeds, a scoping piece by Yorkshire and Humber on sex work by Office for Health Improvement and Disparities, various research programs on improving access to PrEP, access to dentistry as well as research into access to GPs to meet women’s health needs by NHSE.

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. In addition to our usual program of training and engagement with schools, we developed and delivered Unblurred Lines • a workshop and professionals training package on addressing Violence Against Women and Girls for young people in Further and Higher Education across Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford and Huddersfield. We also continue to influence practice and outcomes from women and young people regionally and nationally by speaking as well as speaking at conferences on exploitation, homelessness and health inclusion including at the IICSA Roundtable, the Pathway/Faculty Inclusion Health conference and Annual Frontline Network Conference.

Service user feedback

Financial review

The net income for the year was £46,160 including net income of £52,455 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £6,295 on restricted funds. The total income received during the year was £918,749 split between unrestricted income of £434,637 and restricted income £484,112. The income represents an decrease of £23,968 which was driven by an small decrease in the value of grants received during the year and the timing of them.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves which compromises of unrestricted and designated funds, excluding fixed assets, at the year•end was £273,074. This is inclusive of general unrestricted funds and designated funds.

Compared to future budgeted expenditure of £874k this represents over 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 £102,200), the Future Development Fund (the amount set aside for strategic development £105,900), the Van fund (to hold the net book value of the Van £44,995) and the Domestic Violence and housing fund (to hold unspent funding during the year from the unrestricted Leeds Council Domestic violence and housing contract to be carried forward into the 2022/23 financial year).

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 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.

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 notes 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.

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.

Basis Yorkshire Ltd

Year Ended 30th September 2022

Notes to the Financial Statements

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%
Motor Vehicles 12.5%

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

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Public Benefit Consideration

The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission’s published guidance on the Public Benefit and are satisfied that the charity meets the requirements under the Charities Act 2011.
