## **TDI (The Derwent Initiative) (A company limited by guarantee)** 

## **TRUSTEE ANNUAL REPORT (including Director’s report) For the year ended 31 December 2024** 

The trustees are pleased to present their annual trustees ’report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a trustee’s report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. 

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2022, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective October 2019) 

## **Directors’ Report** 

## **1. Objectives and Activities** 

## **Aims of the Charity** 

TDI (The Derwent Initiative) is an independent UK charity, founded in 1993, which works to improve public protection by finding creative and practical approaches to reduce the risk of sexual offending.  We create and deliver training, projects, consultancy and research, working with lay people and professionals throughout the UK.  Our specific charitable objectives are: 

- Throughout the United Kingdom and overseas to reduce the likelihood of sexual offending and to minimize its effects for the benefit of the public in general. 

- To advance education for the public benefit concerning the incidence, effects and treatment of sexual offences and offenders and their victims, and the services available in this respect; in particular but not exclusively of people involved, whether professionally or otherwise, with the care and treatment of sexual offenders, their victims, or parents and families of those victims. 

## **2. Public Benefit Statement** 

All of TDI’s activities are carried out for public benefit in accordance with Charity Commission guidance. 

## **3. Achievements and Performance** 

## **Overview** 

We continue to run the Leisurewatch scheme, supporting organisations’ responsibility for public spaces.  We have added to our range of online courses, our specialist courses have gone down well with several organisations during the year, and potential partnerships with larger organisations have progressed slightly. We have given a great deal of advice on difficult situations faced by our Leisurewatch members and to other individuals and organisations, some of whom have contacted us through our website.  We have been helped with more marketing and business advice, increased our social media activity, and received good feedback. We continue to find that issues affecting women and girls in particular, and vulnerable people more generally, are impacting every organisation from the largest to tiny community groups, and organisations continue to express and interest in commissioning work from us. 

Unfortunately, the financial environment is increasingly tough.  Organisations from every sector are under great pressure, training budgets are being cut to the bone and grant-making bodies are deluged with requests for help.  Many small charities are in real trouble, and we have had to consider whether there are different ways in which we could deliver our mission more cheaply and effectively.  We have to become more agile to survive.

## **Leisurewatch** 

We were joined by two new members, Ulster Museums and Gateshead Leisure Centre, but lost others as venues were contracted out and some closed.  The face-to-face training we deliver still goes down well, and we also offer online sessions so that centres can fit 

more participants.  We have run briefing sessions for manager, and received a number of referrals about concerns which have been addressed through conversations with our associates.  We have updated the training materials and resources for centres. 

The best interaction is when the trainer is in the room with the participants, many of whom are young and relatively inexperienced and find some of the situations they encounter extremely challenging.  We give these staff some understanding of how perpetrators operate in public spaces so that they know what to look for, give them the confidence to challenge concerning behaviour in a customer-focussed way, and teach them how to gather information and share concerns with their managers. 

We find that staff become much more engaged when they realise that they have the power to improve safety where they work, and that a topic which is both frightening and embarrassing can become more manageable. We see how this Leisurewatch approach could be extremely useful in many other situations, where staff or volunteers are responsible for managing and overseeing spaces which are accessed by the public, from entertainment venues and visitor attractions to homelessness bustle and care home, churches and hospitals, but many smaller or poorer organisations can’t afford the model as it stands. 

We’re working on developing a lower-cost model that can scale up, pooling the face to face training across multiple organisations and sharing digital resources. 

## **Training** 

We continue to deliver training both through our open courses online and our bespoke commissions to different organisations online and in person.  We have run courses for Church of England diocesan safeguarding officers, Tyne Housing, Crisis, TOSU (Ireland), Emmaeus, and Newcastle College Group. 

Participants on our open courses continue to find our training useful, with the ‘working with sex offenders’ and ‘looking after your team’ courses for managers working in very stressful situations with dangerous clients particularly appreciated.  We find that people are increasingly doing these very challenging jobs with very little support or training as the infrastructure and resources around them diminish year on year.  The sessions we run are sometimes the first opportunity young managers have to talk about cases and situations they are dealing with in an expert and supportive environment.  The fact that groups are often very small, whilst not good for our finances, is great for the participants, and we’re pleased to be able to support people doing important and undervalued jobs in extremely difficult situations, including residential accommodation, healthcare facilities, and charities working with ex-offenders. 

## **4. Grant Funding** 

A grant was received from the Handley Trust totaling £2,225. 

## **5. Investments** 

TDI made no investment in financial year 2024. 

## **6. Financial review** 

## **Review of the year** 

The results for the year and the company's financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements. 

## **Reserves policy/No reserves/Going concern** 

The Trustees regularly reviewed the financial position of the organisation throughout the year.  As it became apparent that the year would end in deficit, trustees considered the matter of whether TDI was a going concern. Having made the decision to adapt the model of delivery to reduce running costs substantially from 2026, trustees concluded that it was reasonable to believe that TDI would continue to be able to settle any liabilities as they fell due and that therefore it continued to be a going concern.  Trustees would continue to keep finances under review with regular reports from the executive. 

2 



## **7. Risk Management** 

The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the management of the risks to which the Charity is exposed, although day-to-day risk management is a responsibility of the Chief Executive and staff. 

Risks identified by the Trustees, Chief Executive and staff relating to matters of finance, governance and delivery risks, will be considered at Trustee Meetings. This consideration will cover: 

- Initial risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood 

- Initial risk rating 

- Counter measures 

- Responsibility / ownership 

- Timescale 

- Amended risk assessment in terms of impact and likelihood 

- Amended risk rating 

Where appropriate, the Trustees actively monitor risks on a regular basis with a reporting line between the Chief Executive and the Chair of the Board. 

Through the counter measures put in place and the regular reviews and updates, the Board is satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated. It is recognised that this approach can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

In the event of a winding up any member (who is a director) undertakes to contribute to the payment of liabilities, such amount as may be required not exceeding the total of £10. 

## **Recruitment and Appointment of the Board** 

The Directors of the Company are also Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are also its members.

## **13. Statement of Trustee Responsibilities** 

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual 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 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that year. In preparing those 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 accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** 

For the year ended 31 December 2024 

I report on the financial statements of The Derwent Initiative for the year ended 31 December 2024, which are set out on pages 7 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2022 ("the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- h examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 

- h to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and 

- h to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- h accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or 

- h the accounts do not accord with such records; or 

- h the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or 

- h the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

I 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.
