Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

At Service Six we offer a range of services to support young people with concerns around their wellbeing and mental health.

During the financial year 2023-24 we have delivered 15,995 individual 1-1 sessions across our services, these sessions are led by the young people where we support them with what they bring into the room. These range from support with anxiety, peer relationships, low mood, suicide ideation, along with many presenting issues.

We delivered group work sessions to 6,081 young people, providing support to smaller groups to share the same messages of online safety, anti-bullying, well-being and support for children and young people who present with risk taking behaviours.

We made 19,239 communications in 2023-24, which range from people calling in to seek advice, responding to enquiries, signposting and calling young people and families to arrange sessions. This is key to ensuring that the much-needed support is delivered to the children and young people in a timely high-quality manner.

During our sessions we have raised 5,312 safeguarding concerns that have been shared with us by service users. To enable us to help keep the children and young people safe, we work through a plan with them around who we will be sharing this information with and why. This is critical for the children and young people, as it is paramount that they feel included in what will be happening with the information that is shared.

How do we ensure our works achieves our aims?

Service Six reviews it’s aims, objectives and activities each year. We look at what we achieved during the year and the outcomes we have achieved. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the positive outcomes they have achieved. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes.

During our sessions we record outcome measures where individuals start their journey and at the end of their sessions. From these we can see the positive impact we are making to beneficiaries that are accessing our services.

We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the Trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document - The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 4th November 2008 and registered as a charity on 5th November 2009. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The company formerly operated as an unincorporated registered charity registered in 1979.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees & Key Personnel - Trustees of Service Six are recruited and appointed in accordance with the Recruiting Trustees & Personnel Policy and associated Succession Planning processes. The organisation seeks to increase trustee numbers with additional or specialist skills and abilities to add to the existing range of expertise of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the regulations of the Charity Commission of England & Wales and Companies House. Key management personnel remuneration is set by the Trustees using data from the benchmarking of similar sized charities with personnel holding comparable responsibilities, this is reviewed annually by the HR committee.

Organisational Structure - The organisational structure is outlined within an approved set of Standing Orders which clearly define the duties and powers of the Board of Trustees, Directors and Executive personnel. The Standing Orders outlines appropriately approved delegated powers and authorisation available to the Chief Executive with regards to company finance, personnel and associated processes.

Related Parties - Related party transactions are detailed in note 19. The company does not have any related parties in respect of larger umbrella, affiliated or associated companies or organisations. Service Six is a member of: the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, Youth Access, National Youth Agency, Northamptonshire Chamber, Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organisations, Commsortia Northamptonshire, the National Council for Voluntary Organisations, National Counselling Society and the REACH Collaboration.

Risk Management - The Trustees of Service Six undertake regular risk assessment processes in consultation with the Chief Executive.

In line with the fund-raising standards, Service Six can confirm the that the charity has not carried out significant fundraising.

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

Financial Review

During the year total income increased to £1,660,954 a 3.5% increase on 2022-23, resulting in a surplus in the year of £127,321. Total funds carried forward at the balance sheet date are £887,163 of which £19,360 is restricted funds.

Reserves Policy - At 31st March 2024 the free reserves balance stood at £866,331 where free reserves are calculated as general unrestricted fund, less illiquid fixed assets.

It is the charity’s policy to hold reserves equivalent to six month’s running costs, which in the current financial year totalled £423,359 excluding depreciation (non-cash), subcontractors and sessional costs, which are specifically funded by income received in the year. This is the equivalent of 10 months running costs. Income and expenditure levels as well as free reserves are regularly and closely monitored as part of the charity’s budgetary processes and the Trustees will continue to monitor the amount held in line with the policy given the current and future levels of activity that the charity is anticipating.

£90,000 is designated for redundancy provision (£90,000) and the charity’s obligation for ethical completion of therapeutic provision is £60,000 (£60,000) and therefore not available for the general purposes of the charity at the end of the reporting period. Redundancy payments are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, and the obligation can be measured reliably.

11

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

Redundancy is accounted for on an accrual’s basis. The amount identified for the charity’s therapeutic service obligations is an estimate of the outlay required to complete any therapeutic service obligations should the charity cease to operate.

After accounting for these designated funds, the general fund stands at £717,803.

Public Benefit Statement - The Trustees of Service Six have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission of England & Wales in exercising their powers and duties. The main activities undertaken to further Service Six’ purpose for the public benefit is in relation to advancing mental health and wellbeing, promoting community interests, assisting the young and advancing education.

Principal Funding Sources - The principal funding sources and how expenses have supported the key objectives of the charity for the year are detailed within this report and the financial statements.

Significant Events – During the financial year the charity has not experienced any significant events that effected the charity financially. An organisational Risk Register is maintained and reviewed bi-monthly by the Finance Committee and Board. Loss of funding is the principal risk facing future financial performance.

Responsibilities of the Trustees

The Trustees, who are also Directors of the Charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024.

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).

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 the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditures, of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable

12

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008.

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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provision of Part 15 of Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SERVICE SIX

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Service Six (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

14

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

15

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SERVICE SIX

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charity operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered

16

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

in this context were the Charities Act 2011, United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and relevant Taxation legislation.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and the understatement of revenue. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included inquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing meeting minutes, regulatory correspondence and professional fees, detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income, and reviewing accounting estimates for biases. We will also review the regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

17

Service Six Impact Report 2023- 2024

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF SERVICE SIX

These inherent limitations are particularly significant in the case of misstatement resulting from fraud as this may involve sophisticated schemes designed to avoid detection, including deliberate failure to record transactions, collusion or the provision of intentional misrepresentations.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

Government grant income has been included and recognised within the SOFA as it is received and due to the charity

Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

Fund raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management carried out at Headquarters.

SERVICE SIX

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Depreciation is charged at 33% per annum on cost of the asset using the straight-line method. Smaller items are treated as an expense in the year of acquisition.

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Where parts of an item pf property, plant and equipment have different useful lives they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each balance sheet date. The selection of these residual values and estimated lives requires the exercise of judgement. The directors are required to assess whether there is an indication of impairment to the carrying value of assets. In making that assessment, judgements are made in estimating value in use. The directors consider that the individual carrying values of assets are supportable by their value in use.

Pension costs

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are written off against profits in the year they are payable.

Financial instruments

Cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet comprise cash at banks and in hand and short-term deposits with an original maturity date of three months or less.

Current asset investments in the balance sheet comprise cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year held for short-term investment purposes rather than cashflow. Current asset investments held qualify as ‘basic’ financial assets and are measured at the cash value or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under administrative expenses.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.

Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed within the individual accounting policies above.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024 ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Going Concern

The Trustees have considered a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
