Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2021
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The charity's objects are to relieve the mental, spiritual and physical distress of children affected by bereavement or loss, particularly through group work, support, counselling and education, including (but not by way of limitation):
-
increasing a child's knowledge and understanding of death;
-
increasing awareness and understanding of the grieving process;
-
promoting open communication within the child's family;
-
responding to the individual needs of each child and its family, enabling them to continue their lives in a meaningful way; and
-
establishing any other services as might be required by an agency dealing with child bereavement.
Significant activities
The Charity's primary objective is to provide support to bereaved children, young people and their families. Our aims as set out in the company's memorandum of association are to help children and young people through the grieving process in a safe, supportive and educational environment. In addition, to this we offer advice to parents, carers, teachers and other child support professionals and inform and raise awareness of childhood bereavement in the wider community.
Our service, which is available throughout Coventry and Warwickshire, continues to be led by the individual needs of the young people and families who seek our support.
We strive to be accessible to the widest possible user base. We incorporate equality into our core objectives and make every effort to eliminate discrimination and provide equal opportunities in access to services.
As an organisation firmly embedded in the community, we embrace collaborative working with other agencies and organisations to secure the best outcomes for all the bereaved children and young people we work with.
The trustees recognise their role in ensuring appropriate policies and standards of engagement are rigorously applied to safeguard vulnerable children, young people and their families as well as the Guy's Gift team.
Our work is continually monitored and outcomes are evaluated to ensure that the service is appropriate to the needs of children, young people and their families, and positive results are achieved, making a positive difference in the lives of those we support.
We promote the advancement of understanding of the needs of bereaved children and young people, and to that end we offer training and support to people whose work with children and young people places them in a position to provide meaningful support.
Everything we do is underpinned by the principles of trust, respect and confidentiality.
Public benefit
In all of our work with bereaved children, young people and their families, benefit to the public is of paramount importance. We measure the success of our direct support by the outcomes for individuals. We also provide indirect support for children and young people by helping parents, carers and other professionals to give effective support.
Volunteers
The Covid pandemic has closed down many of the opportunities for volunteering that would normally be available with Guy's Gift. However, there were opportunities for some to help with on-line and in-person group sessions and our Lantern Event at Christmas. It was also good to see many of our volunteers undertake training in readiness for 2022.
Student Placements
We were pleased to continue with our support for two counselling students in 2021, helping them gain valuable practical experience. We maintain strong connections with local FE colleges and believe the opportunities we provide are beneficial to the student, the wider community and of course Guy's Gift.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2021
STRATEGIC REPORT
Achievement and performance Charitable activities - review of 2021
In operational terms, much of 2021 was dominated by the Covid pandemic. The hoped-for return to pre-Covid working practices did not materialise, and we learned to operate within the constraints imposed by lock downs, social distancing requirements, and school closures.
The team continued to develop new working practices and undertook further training to facilitate both group and individual support sessions using a variety of remote access methods.
In 2021, the annual referral rates increased by 62% from the previous year and we fully expect the trend to continue owing to wider acknowledgment of the need for early intervention and greater community awareness. Not only did 2021 show an increase over the previous year, but it also represented a 43% increase on our 5-year average.
Referrals continued to reflect the Covid situations with more being linked to Covid and more being of a complex nature. Many children spoke of their concerns about the pandemic and the effect on family life.
During 2021 we continued to provide remote video and telephone support, particularly at the start of the year, but saw a gradual shift to in-person support from September when were able to resume 1 to 1 and group sessions for people who were not so able to benefit from remote contact. Engagement with our services and feedback from both strands of service delivery has been hugely positive.
We have put significant effort into our resource packs for schools project. This is aimed at giving schools the information, books and other resources to help children and families in need of support and to provide the tools for school staff to back up the service provided by our counselling and support team. In total we supplied an additional 53 schools with resource kits, which can be added to and developed over time.
In terms of geographic referral rates, Rugby provided most referrals, accounting for 24% of the total, Coventry 23%, Warwick 22% Nuneaton, Bedworth and North Warwickshire 17% and Stratford and peripheral areas 14% of total referrals. The demand from Coventry has continued to grow as the benefits of support are more widely recognised, now returning more referrals than any previous year.
Children 4-5 years accounted for 11% of referrals, 6-8 years 14%, 9-11 years 29%, 12-15 years 36%, and 16+ 10%. There was very little fluctuation in data from previous years. The gender split was much as expected, being almost equal.
In previous years the split between service delivery methods has been roughly even, but we have seen a shift this year, weighted toward 1 to 1 support, which accounted to 52% of all referrals (up from a third). Groups accounted for 28% and support-to-support input (S2S) 20%. We believe that the major reason for this significant increase in demand for individual support is the complexity in need that has been brought about by the Covid pandemic.
Our experience with working during the pandemic has given us the opportunity to reflect on the way that families and young people access support, their needs and the methods of delivering support to them. This led us to conduct a thorough analysis of needs and a wide-ranging strategic review. We recognised the need to restructure our operation and recruit additional team members to handle the increasing volume of work. This has been facilitated by a successful bid for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund.
As we head into 2022, we are pleased to report that we have an expanded team in place to provide more support for children and young people and their families.
Fundraising activities
We engage an outside consultant to work one day a week to provide general fundraising support in applying for funding from various grant making organisations.
The charity also operates a Virgin Money Giving account.
Group Support
We continued to run group sessions throughout the year. Most were virtual sessions attended remotely on-line, however we were able to run the final group programme of the year for in-person attendees and this was welcomed by all participants.
From feedback from participants and experience gained with both modes of delivery, we have concluded that there is a place for both an on-line and in-person group programme for the future.

STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance
Support-to-Support Programme (S2S)
Our support-to-support programme (S2S), which makes specialist support and resources available to families and professionals, such as schools, provides a pathway to support for many who may otherwise not access in-person or on-line services.
Building on the successful trial of a pilot programme providing book boxes to schools, we expanded the programme to provide resource packs to a further 53 schools throughout Coventry and Warwickshire during the year.
Resource packs are designed to be used in conjunction with support from the Guy's Gift team so that both the student and counsellor are able to access the same resource (e.g. sharing books) wherever they are, or indeed between sessions. A secondary benefit is that schools can make use of the resources with any child who would benefit, for example when addressing concerns about anxiety or anger.
This initiative has been made possible with generous support from The Heart of England Community Foundation, The Wesleyan Foundation and Wright Hassall LLP.
Individual Support
We saw a greater demand for individual support during the year. We have evidence to suggest that this was driven not only by the nature and complexity of the circumstances presenting in referrals, but also because of the wider effects of the Covid pandemic on children and young peoples' mental health.
We continued offer on-line sessions and from September we were able to reintroduce in-person sessions for those that need them. The delivery team has undertaken training aimed at developing the skills and resources to provide every service user with the most appropriate support tailored to their needs.
Lantern Event
Our Christmas Lantern Event was again affected by the prevailing Covid advice. Much of the indoor part of the event was of necessity scaled back, but families did feel able to share in a meaningful outdoor celebration. We were pleased to be supported by the Mid-Counties Co-op volunteer team who once again brought their organizational skills, enthusiasm and generosity to help on the day.
Staff
In light of the changing needs of the charity the trustees undertook a structural review, including a revised forecast of future need. As a result of this we embarked on a recruitment and reorganisation programme. As of November, we have successfully recruited 3 additional team members and will continue recruitment into the early part of 2022. Alongside this, existing team members have taken on new roles within the charity and we expect the new format to take us into 2022 in the best possible position to fulfil our future aims and objectives.
Training
Our team is committed to training for the new environment and keeping up to date with their professional development and this included both in-house and external training for the team. Notably, the team undertook further external training in counselling skills, equality and diversity and safeguarding.
Financial review
Financial position
Total income for the year was significantly higher than last year due to being awarded a restricted grant of £460,624 from the National Lottery (of which only £89,820 was received in the year and the remaining £370,804 is to be received in future periods). As a result of this award, total restricted fund expenditure was £40,600 compared to £24,784 last year.
Total unrestricted income for the year was £57,953 compared to £56,560 last year, with total unrestricted expenditure of £62,285 compared to £65,865 last year, resulting in a net unrestricted fund deficit of £4,332 compared to £9,305 last year.
Principal funding sources
Funding has been received from a variety of sources and we are grateful to all of the charitable trusts, foundations, businesses, community groups, families and individuals who have helped us. Every donation, no matter how small, is of huge value in helping to achieve our aims.
Covid continues to have significant implications for funding. Mainstream funding from charitable trusts has still not recovered to pre-Covid levels, but none the less, we managed to achieve our financial targets and more.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2021
STRATEGIC REPORT Financial review
Following a successful bid for funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we were delighted to be awarded £460,624 towards our three-year project to develop a stronger on-line presence and make our service relevant to young people and families that interact more easily with digital services.
Our main financial objective is to develop an income stream sufficient to build a highly cost-effective service. We look forward with confidence to finding the financial resources to continue our operation in 2022 and promote long-term sustainability.
It is not possible to acknowledge every donation, but in addition to those already mentioned, there are several significant donations that we should highlight. We are grateful for the support of Baylis & Harding and Midcounties Co-op, whose support is hugely valuable to Guy's Gift, not only in financial terms, but also in the commitment of the companies' staff and their outreach, and their recognition and endorsement of our work in the community.
Reserves policy
The trustees aim to hold unrestricted free reserves to cover approximately 6 months of total expenditure, such that in the unlikely event of a sudden loss of income the charity has a reserve to fund ongoing expenditure.
At the year end total unrestricted free reserves (which exclude unrestricted reserves held within tangible fixed assets) of £97,316 (2020 - £101,056). Although total expenditure for the year was £102,885 (2020 - £90,649), following the National Lottery providing the charity with a significant grant to fund additional services for the next 3 years, the trustees anticipate a significant increase in costs on the next few financial years. The trustees consider the current level of reserve to be approximately equivalent to 6 months expenditure for the the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
In addition, the National Lottery grant of £460,624 has been awarded to the charity based on an initial budget submitted by the charity with total project costs of £765,624. The charity will need to temporarily built up reserves in order to fund the charity's share of project costs relating to this grant.
At the year end the reserves of the charity was as follows:
| At the year end the reserves of the charity was as follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | |
| £ | £ | |
| Unrestricted funds | 97,766 | 102,266 |
| Restricted funds (see note 16 for further details) | 432,848 | 1,330 |
| 530,614 | 103,596 | |
Included within these funds are amounts held within tangible fixed assets of £506 (2020 - £1,210) attributable to unrestricted funds and £3,448 (2020 - £330) attributable to restricted funds.
Future objectives
Looking forward to 2022 as we emerge from the extraordinary situation resulting from Covid and with our new organization and team in place, we aim to promote more groups and family days to enhance our one-to-one support.
Based on the current referral rate there are signs that numbers of people asking for support will rise significantly in 2022. Referrals are increasingly complex, with more people referencing pandemic related factors. This is something that is expected to continue, and is likely to be a big part of the work we do in the short to medium term.
The National Lottery Community Fund award will support our move to more online content and we have produced a series of short videos to be released early in 2022, highlighting our work and how to access support. Videos will form part of our enhanced support-to-support offer and will also be useful for developing new ways of reaching those in need in the community.
We will build on and continue the roll out of resource packs for schools. This has proved successful and may schools have asked us for further resources that they can use to support students in conjunction with the Guy's gift team.
Our operations are continually reviewed to ensure that the support we provide is beneficial and relevant to each individual and the needs of their family. We have plans to introduce a young persons focus group in the coming year to help inform and give direction to future developments.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PREPARING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
INCOME
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income, including grants receivable and donations, is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
EXPENDITURE
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Office equipment - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
The depreciation policy for office equipment has changed from 25% on cost as applied in prior financial periods to 33% on cost in the current financial period. The effect of this change in depreciation policy on the current year's financial statements is an increase in the depreciation charged of £165.
TAXATION
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
FUND ACCOUNTING
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
PENSION COSTS
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11' Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised when the charity becomes party to contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets are offset, with the net amounts presented in the accounts where there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Basic Financial Assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Basic Financial Liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of future receipts, discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised costs, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of the operations from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction costs.
2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Accounting estimates and judgement are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Material future grant income accrued for
The National Lottery has awarded the charity a grant of up to £460,624 over 3 years towards a restricted fund project. Under Charities SORP (FRS 102) the full value of this grant is recognised immediately upon the charity receiving notification from the National Lottery that this funding has been rewarded. However this grant has been awarded based on budget forecasts submitted to the National Lottery that the National Lottery have accepted may vary over the lifetime of the project to which they relate. It is therefore possible that in future accounting periods the National Lottery may vary the total level of grant funding that the charity receive relating to this project.
The National Lottery Community Fund funding was awarded based on an initial budget submitted by the charity with total project costs of £765,624, of which the National Lottery has agreed to contribute £460,624. The remaining funding for this project is expected to come from both the general unrestricted reserves of the charity and additional grant funding to be applied for in the future. However the National Lottery acknowledges that actual expenditure may vary from the budget submitted. Total project costs incurred to date as at 31 December 2021was £28,887. These cost have been allocated solely to National Lottery Community Fund, with the element of costs to be funded out of either unrestricted reserves or future additional grant funding to be accounted for in future financial periods.
