Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To promote the mental and spiritual wellbeing of all court users, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs and/or race by the provision of advice, counselling and support.

To further such other charitable purposes as the trustees at their absolute discretion from time to time determine.

The term "court users" shall mean persons either attending or who are expecting to attend Bradford Magistrates Court or any other court in the United Kingdom, in particular those accused of committing offences, together with their spouses, partners, families and friends, witnesses of crime as referred by Witness Support, Magistrates, His Majesty's Courts Service staff, Probation Service Staff, Crown Prosecution Service staff, Defence Solicitors, Court Interpreters, those attending the Coroner's Court and any members of the public attending court out of general interest.

The charity's main activities

The team offer hope and encouragement to people who often feel anxious, hopeless and confused, by listening, when support is most needed. Needs are prioritized and appropriate action identified. For some, a short chat is sufficient to reduce anxiety and tension; others need more specialist help. Offending behaviour is challenged and offenders and their families linked to appropriate, local community support. Hopefully, this will lead to reduced crime, rehabilitation of offenders and development of greater community cohesion.

A quiet/prayer room is provided for all.

Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and performance

1.Introduction

Based in Bradford, in one of the country’s most deprived areas, our volunteer led team provide free, confidential, on-the-spot, practical support to anyone attending courts in Bradford, both the Magistrates’ and Combined Courts (Crown, Civil and Family): including defendants and their families, friends and other court users. The majority of those we help are amongst the most vulnerable and marginalised in society. Many are highly anxious, have low levels of literacy and communication skills, mental health issues and have no legal representation. Our experienced team provides a lifeline at a critical time and our independent support can ease tension, boost confidence, and help vulnerable individuals more adequately represent themselves.

2.Service User Support

Finding oneself in court can be a confusing and frightening experience, and the reasons for attending may be complex and multiple. Since the service began in 2009, our team have supported over 35,000 service users, 3,004 of whom received some level of support this year. The support offered by our team can include:

• Explaining court procedures to those who are unrepresented and have not been in court before, thus helping to ‘level the playing field’.

• Helping those who acknowledge that they have serious issues to find a way forward: offering them speedy access to local support services and agencies, signposting and connecting people and making appointments as required.

Achievements and performance (continued)

2.Service User Support continued

The majority of our work is with defendants. Of the 3,004 service users supported this year, 88% were defendants or their supporters (i.e., family / friends). Examples:

Service User A, in court to support a friend, but had not gone into the court hearing. Approached by a team member he shared he had an addiction problem, and had tried, unsuccessfully, to get support over the previous two years. The team member listened and was given permission by the Service User to make a referral to Bridge Project, who in turn gave details of Human Kind, the agency dealing with drug abuse, to whom the Service User was to speak to directly, after having left court.

Service User B, from Norwich, was in court to face a number of driving offences. A BCCS Assist team member was asked by a Court Usher to speak to the Service User as the Magistrates were concerned about the circumstances. The Service User had been able to prove that his vehicle registration number had been cloned, and as a result he had several driving related fines, both in the UK and France. The team member spoke with Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) in Norwich and an appointment was made for the Service User to attend in person for help dealing with the foreign offences.

Service user feedback includes:

Service User C – I suffer with anxiety and depression but speaking to BCCS helped settle my nerves. I can't appreciate them enough. I felt much more comfortable in court with them there.

Service User D – BCCS helped me get through a difficult experience today. I am very grateful for company & assistance and for giving me extra strength to get through the day.

3. Finance

This year we received the third and fourth instalments (of six) of the National Lottery Reaching Community Fund (RCF). These instalments totalled £49,853, a slight increase on the original amount awarded, with RCF initiating and pro-actively working with the Trustees to support the paid team with a moderate cost-of-living payment.

Once again, the team focused its effort on raising an additional £15,000 - £20,000 alongside the RCF grant. During the year grant awards were received from – The Fred Towler Charity Trust (£2,000), The Duke of York Community Initiative (£775), St Pauls, Manningham (£250) and Bradford Diocesan Council for Social Aid (£3,000). Local fundraising and donations totalled £6,069, and a payment of £1,118 was received from HMRC in relation to Gift Aid Claim on the prior year Gift Aided donations.

4. Volunteers

Though recruiting new volunteers remains a challenge, especially since Covid-19, our paid team have continued to build and strengthen our Volunteer led team this year and eleven new volunteers joined the team, bringing a wealth of experience. The team of volunteers range in age from nineteen to seventy and are from a range of backgrounds, e.g., student, retired clergy, civil servant, retired probation officer, retired GP. During the year our team of volunteers covered 361 court sessions, supporting 1,136 service users. Nine volunteers left the team during this last twelve months – three moved out of the area, two obtained paid employment and two left to concentrate on their studies. Volunteer recruitment remains a key area for the team, who are undertaking outreach work to raise awareness of the Charity and promote volunteer opportunities.

5. Placements

Two students undertook placement opportunities commencing in February 2023, each completing 100 hours of placement. Between them they attended 62 court sessions and supported 91 service users.

Feedback following completion:

I've just finished my second last session in the Bradford Court Chaplaincy Service and to say that I’ve learnt a lot would be an understatement…. This experience has improved my confidence and communication skills massively… being a volunteer was the best type of learning experience I could ever get. It has taught me a lot in life, a wide range of different skills and knowledge that I will use in the future. Thank you all so much for this opportunity and it has been a privilege getting to work with you all.

6. Staffing

Trustees are ever grateful for the consistency of the paid team – Latif Mir has been with the Charity since June 2009, and Ruth Smith (Team Leader & Administrator) since November 2010. Helen Derham was appointed Development and Training Worker (DTW) in October 2021 and soon became a valued member of the team.

7. Social Events / Fundraising

Trustees were extremely pleased to be able to see the Annual Charity Dinner back on the calendar following the pandemic. Held in September the event was once again at Cleckheaton Golf Club, and was an enjoyable evening attended by 57 people. The event raised £1,025 for the Charity.

Two quiz nights were also held. One in February via zoom. The second, in March 2023, was an in-person event held at St Matthews Church, Bradford, at which 47 people enjoyed a stimulating evening followed by pie and peas. The two quiz nights raised £585.00.

Susan (an active volunteer and trustee) completed a sponsored event, walking the 20.5 miles of the Brighouse Boundary Walk. Completed in late August the sponsored event raised a total of £975.50, with £459.00 of the total donations being made on a Gift Aid basis.

8. AGM

The AGM was held on 10th November at the Bradford Club. Mary Carroll, a founding member, and longstanding Chair stepped down to Vice Chair in late 2022. Trustees appointed Manoj Joshi (previously Vice Chair) as acting chair for an interim period of 12 months. During the year Trustees advertised for additional members to join the board and recruitment is on-going. The AGM was attended by seven Trustees, the treasurer, all three members of staff, two life members and six members, which included four volunteers. A full report was presented and after completion of the usual formalities the attendees enjoyed a soup and sandwich lunch.

9. Notable Events

A Team Away Day was held in September and hosted at Fountains Church, Bradford. The day was attended by 14 team members (4 volunteers, 3 staff, 7 trustees) and covered key areas – Volunteer Recruitment and Retention, Operational Matters and Social Events & Fundraising.

In February the team hosted a visit for the Very Reverend Andy Bowerman, the newly appointed Dean of Bradford.

In May, Judge Jonathan Rose KC, hosted an Open Day at Bradford Combined Court Centre. It was an opportunity for the general public to gain an insight into the workings of the courts, e.g., a tour of the court building and speaker panels. BCCS Assist team members - volunteers, staff and trustees - attended to help staff a stall from 10am to 4pm, to promote awareness of the Charity along with volunteering and trustee opportunities.

10. Cafes

Following the difficult decision not to re-open either of the café sites operated by BCCS Cafes Ltd, asset lists were circulated to local organisations who may have been interested in/in need of catering equipment. During the year some equipment was sold to the total of £2,180.00. Other equipment was donated to a couple of local charities – St Matthews Church and Fountains Church – both of whom work with homeless individuals and those requiring food support. Winding up of BCCS Cafes Ltd commenced on 31st May 2023. The Trustees of BCCS Assist and Directors of BCCS Cafes Ltd are extremely grateful to all the funders who supported the initiative.

11. Future Vision

Key priorities are:

• Keeping our staff, volunteers, clients, and Trustees safe; This must always be a key priority and relevant policies are kept constantly under review.

• Supporting all volunteers in whatever way is needed.

• Re-connecting and re-building relationships with local support agencies. We are aware that many may have closed and virtually all will have suffered as a result of the pandemic.

• Focus on long-term sustainable funding. A continuing difficulty in this regard is the fine balance Trustees need to achieve between having sufficient funding reserves to offer security to staff and others associated with the charity and being close enough to the “cliff edge” to attract grant funding. Whenever Trustees are successful in obtaining substantial grants and great prudence is exercised to allow reserves to be built-up, funding bids become proportionately less successful.

• Succession planning – this is now a regular Trustee agenda item, and an open Trustee advert has been published. Following a skills audit Trustees have identified key areas where expertise needs to be strengthened.

• Re-development of a new, up to date, modern website, making use of social media and technology, including QR codes.

12. Acknowledgements

Volunteers:

Volunteers always have been and remain the ‘back-bone’ of our Charity, the service could simply not function without them. Sadly, it has become increasingly difficult since the pandemic to recruit suitable volunteers in great numbers. Trustees are grateful to those who choose to give their time to our Charity to offer support and assistance to those less fortunate.

Our Team:

Both Latif Mir and Helen Derham are naturals in their roles. They are an inspiration to our volunteers and student placements and provide exceptional support to court users. Ruth Smith provides invaluable support to our volunteers, colleagues, and trustees for all aspects of our work. All three are great ambassadors for our Charity and their loyalty and hard work is very much appreciated.

Funders and Donors:

This year – The Fred Towler Charity Trust, National Lottery Reaching Communities, St Pauls (Manningham), Duke of York Community Initiative and Bradford Diocesan Council Social Aid all awarded grants. In addition, we received donations from Bradford Cathedral, anonymous supporters and those who support our social events. Trustees are very grateful to all who support the Charity, without their generous support the Charity simply would not exist.

Our Committee Members and Supporters:

As a Charity our Trustees must carefully comply with all aspects of charity law and regulations. The Board, made up of experienced Trustees from a wide range of backgrounds, give generously of their time to ensure the optimum functioning of the Charity. Trustees are additionally supported by members of the Fundraising Committee and are blessed with loyal supporters who regularly attend and support our social events.

Patrons, Members and Advisers:

Trustees remain indebted to our Patron, HM Lord Lieutenant for West Yorkshire Ed Anderson Esq, all members, and external Advisors, to whom we are able to turn for specific guidance or support as necessary.

Our President:

Our President from the onset of the Charity, Professor the Lord Patel of Bradford OBE, continues in the role, despite huge commitments. We are grateful to our President and Lady Patel for their ongoing support and encouragement.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £5,159, including net income of £7,954 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £2,795 on restricted funds.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aim to maintain adequate reserves to cover any withdrawal of grant income and to ensure adequate working capital to sustain the activities of the charity for the foreseeable future. With this in mind the Trustees seek to maintain reserves at between 6 and 12 months of expenditure. Based on budgeted 2023/2024 expenditure this would equate to a reserves target of between £29,000 and £58,000.

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £49,174.

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 accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts 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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Approved by the board of trustees on 31/10/2023

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
