## **SOUTH WEST COMMUNITY CHAPLAINCY LIMITED** 

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the Charity for year ended 31 March 2024. 

## Principal Objects of the Charity 

The Charity’s principal objects are to promote the rehabilitation and resettlement of, and to relieve financial hardship, distress, suffering and sickness amongst, offenders, persons subject to community orders, and their families and dependants, either alone or in co-operation with any other body, authority or persons, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of support, information, advocacy and pastoral care in ways which are consistent with, and motivated by, the values and principles of the Christian faith based on the life and example of Christ; and promoting an environment where people of all faiths, and people of none, can work together for transformation of lives and communities. The trustees confirm that they have given due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives, and in planning future activities. 

## Regulation of Charity 

The Charity is regulated by a constitution dated 25[th] February 2009. 

## Trustees’ Responsibilities 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the Charity and of its financial activities for that year. In preparing these the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed 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 proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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. 

## REVIEW OF THE YEAR 

## Our work with clients 

As always, the most notable successes of the year are those of the changed lives that we have seen in our clients.  The following quantitative data provides an overview of the impact of the work. During the last 12 months, we have worked with 153 people in total.  Of these; 85 people have engaged with support in a meaningful way for a period of more than 3 months. 

Of these 85 people, we have been able to identify: 

- that 78 (91%), have made significant identifiable progress in their lives and are less likely to engage in harmful behaviours. 

- 1 - 



- an improved sense of self-worth, responsibility and hope, in 62 individuals (73%), measured through analysis of the Attitudes, Thinking and Behaviour (ATB) spoke of the SPIDER ii model and/or the internal change assessment tool. 

- Using internal assessments and observation as a basis, on average there was a 26% improvement from first to last scores across the 9 areas assessed: Responsibility, Support, Confidence, Hope, Selfesteem, Decision making, Resilience, Motivation, Use of time. 

Of the remaining 68 clients: 

- 10 are still in custody; 

- 13 are very new referrals and our work with them is in its infancy 

- We provided short term support to 7 people before they were transferred to other prisons or resettlement locations 

- We were unable to support 8 people once they had been released because of risk factors. 

- 2 have sadly died. 

- 10 returned to prison 

- 18 disengaged prematurely 

These statistics tell only a small part of the story. It is fair to say that in general, the common practical needs of our clients, as defined by the rehabilitation pathways (e.g. accommodation, Education Training & Employment (ETE), debt/finance, substance misuse etc.) have only become more acute over recent years, with accommodation becoming even more scarce, cost of living increases and the closure of services, amongst other things, having contributed to this. But there are many challenges other than those set down within the standard rehabilitation pathways that clients face; social isolation, mental health challenges and low self-esteem, to name but a few. The brief case ‘snapshots’ shown in the coloured panels offer just two examples of how our work addresses, in a relational and bespoke way, these special needs as well as the more practical challenges of rebuilding life after a sentence. 

Capacity-wise, our team is fully stretched and

Snapshot 1: *Carl<br>Background:  Carl is neurodiverse and has<br>Fibromyalgia. At the outset of mentoring he did<br>not go out.

clearly there is a greater need than we have the capacity to fill.  We would like to increase our capacity, and are continuously seeking funding to do so. 

## External Evaluation 

The positive impact that mentoring makes is borne out in the recently published Marjon University evaluation of our work for the Police and Crime Commissioner, which shows that the work is well regarded: 

_‘… a unique resource due to its specialised knowledge and expertise in addressing the multifaceted challenges faced by sexual offenders, commitment to its work with, and lack of biases towards this offender group’_ (Marjon Evaluator) 

- 2 - 



_‘I think they (SWCC) are unique.  In our role we signpost people to so many support networks … there’s so many different networks out there … but the chaplaincy service they can help you get jobs, help you just have a chat … I definitely think they’re unique in what they offer’._ (Police Officer) 

_‘Recently, two ex-offenders I manage are beginning to work with SWCC to offer their services to aid the progression of people who have recently been through the criminal justice system.  These two males are so pleased to be able to give something back and this has been possible through SWCC.  I am so impressed with this.’_ (Police Offender Manager) 

_‘My depression’s getting better and I’m seeing myself in a more positive way.  I’m actually liking myself cos I never really have, yeah … just being really more confident in myself, learning more about who I actually am, who I actually want to be ….’_ (Client) 

_‘Before I wouldn’t go out and now I go out most days of the week.  It makes me feel happier in myself and it gives me the ability to make a decision a bit easier.’_ (Client)

## High Sheriff’s Charity of the Year 

We were delighted, and highly honoured, to be chosen by Rt Revd Nick McKinnel, to be his Charity of the Year during his year of office as High Sheriff of Devon for 2023-24, following his retirement as Bishop of Plymouth. We are so grateful to him for his help, guidance and representation over this time. Not only has he significantly raised awareness of the work across the county, but he has also raised over £7,000 in gifts, grants and donations to assist us financially.  Our very grateful thanks are extended for this wonderful support. 

## Infrastructure Development 

A year ago we reported how, historically having struggled to build a base of Volunteer Mentors (VMs) in both Somerset and Cornwall, we had appointed dedicated members of staff in these counties. The dual aim of these appointments was to better support clients returning to these localities, but also to build the infrastructure and capacity of the charity, particularly through attracting more Volunteer Mentors and through building teams of ‘specialists’ who can provide ‘one-off’ help as and when needed (e.g. writing CVs, completing difficult claim forms like ‘PIPs’, or with complex advocacy). 

The fruits of this infrastructure work are now being seen. Subject to funding, we aim to increase the hours and scope of these posts to ensure that SWCC has an even more robust service in Cornwall and Somerset. 

## People with lived experience 

Since last year’s introduction of the ‘SALT’ initiative (a project that offers ongoing light-touch support and opportunities for greater social inclusion, to people following their completion of the core mentoring journey with us) we have been able to involve more people with lived experience in shaping the work of the charity. 

- 3 - 



In particular, our volunteer ‘Project Development Worker’ has researched/catalogued over 300 support initiatives (e.g. Drop-ins, job clubs, volunteering opportunities) to connect people to, and has conceived the ‘Go-Bag’ project: essential items for ex-prisoners, contained within a backpack.  Another volunteer has co-designed, developed and delivered a new training module on ‘Addictions/12-step’.  There is much more to do, but we are making solid progress. 

## Our work with Devon and Cornwall Police 

Our three-year prototype programme with the Police will be completed in December 2024.  It is hoped that there might be scope for the work to be recommissioned, given the positive indications that have come from the evaluation by Marjon University, as well as feedback from both frontline Police staff and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner.  However, with a new government having very recently taken office, there is some uncertainty at present as to what monies might be available for ‘reducing reoffending’ strategies, and what the commissioning criteria will be. Hopefully, over the coming months matters will become clearer and in the meantime we will continue to work closely with the Police to hone and fine tune the Community Mentoring programme. 

## Case Management System 

At the time of writing we are undergoing the transition of our client records to a new case management system known as On Track.  This has been necessitated by the very significant increase in costs that we would have incurred, as well as limitations in the reporting capability, with the existing system. We anticipate that On Track will significantly improve our ability to extract meaningful data, but it will require a period of familiarisation and bedding in, and some initial investment in hardware and training in the coming months.  We believe it will be a worthwhile investment. 

## Financial Review 

The total resources expended were £156,190 (2023: £159,593). £124,153 was spent on charitable activities (2023: £129,064); £24,375 on management and administration (2023: £24,514) and £7,662 on generating income (2023: £6,015). 

The net result for the year was a small deficit of £707 (2023: surplus of £745). This resulted from a net loss of £7,243 on unrestricted funds and a net gain of £6,536 on restricted funds. 

Total funds carried forward at the end of 2023/24 were £69,926; made up of £12,936 on unrestricted funds and £56,990 on restricted funds. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Operating Reserve Fund comprises the designated fund set aside by action of the Board of Trustees. Ideally, the minimum amount to be designated as Reserve should be an amount sufficient to maintain ongoing operations and programs for 3 months. However, the Operating Reserve serves a dynamic role and is reviewed and adjusted in response to internal and external changes. The agreed minimum Operating Reserve target is currently £20,000, which is approximately 1½ - 2 months’ running costs. The amount of the Reserve fund target minimum is reviewed each year after approval of the annual budget and may be subject to variation during the year. It is approved by the Board of Trustees, taking advice from the Treasurer, and included in regular financial reports.  At the end of this financial year, following a draw on the Operating Reserve of £5,000 the balance taken forward is £10,000. 

## Structure, Governance and Management 

South West Community Chaplaincy Ltd has a Board of Trustees, consisting of up to twelve individuals. The Management Committee meets at least six times each year, and consists of the Board of Trustees and other key personnel. 

## Reference and Administration 

SWCC is a Company Limited by Guarantee, No: 06132161 and a registered Charity, No: 1128372

## **SOUTH WEST COMMUNITY CHAPLAINCY LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102). The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention. 

SWCC meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.  The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of SWCC. 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.  There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts upon the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of SWCC that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the charity.  Funds designated for a particular purpose by the Trustees are also not restricted. 

Restricted funds are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts. 

The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the charity is responsible in law. 

## **Income** 

## _Donations and Grants_ 

Planned giving, collections and general donations are recognised only when received. 

Gift aid recoverable on donations is recognised as soon as the amount due is confirmed by HMRC or when the tax element is received from HMRC, whichever is sooner. 

Grants are recognised once the charity has met any entitlement conditions, it is probable that the grant will be received, and the amount can be measured. 

Some funds that were received in a previous financial year were allocated for use, and expended, during this financial year in accordance with the terms of the grant. See Note 3 for a detailed breakdown. 

## _Charitable activities_ 

Earned income from charitable activities is recognised when the fee is due and the invoice issued. 

## _Investments_ 

Interest entitlements (bank interest) are accounted for as they accrue. 

- 10 - 



## **Expenditure** _Raising_ funds 

Expenditure on raising funds is accounted for on the accruals basis. 

## _Charitable activities_ 

Expenditure on charitable activities is accounted for on the accruals basis. Any unpaid amount at 31 March is provided for in these accounts as an operational (although not legal) liability and is shown as a creditor in the Balance Sheet. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

## _Property_ 

SWCC does not own any property. 

## _Other fixed assets_ 

Other fixed assets are recognised at cost. Individual assets with a purchase price less than £1,000 are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Debtors** 

Amounts owing to SWCC at 31 March in respect of fees or other income are shown as debtors less provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectable. These are recognised initially at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount pre-paid, net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors are recognised when SWCC has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at the amount that the PCC anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payment for the goods or services it must provide. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. All (including debtors and creditors) are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Cash flow statement** 

A cash flow statement has not been prepared on the grounds that the Charity qualifies for the exemption under the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

## **2. LEGAL STATUS OF THE CHARITY** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital.
