TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021.

The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 2 (effective January 2019).

The protection and preservation of the health and wellbeing of parents, families and friends of those persons who are, or in danger of becoming, addicted to, or dependent upon, drugs of any description, alcohol, solvents or other addictive substances and in particular by the provision of education, advice and support;
-

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.
b. Main activities undertaken to further the company's purposes for the public benefit
The trustees have complied with the duty (set out in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006) to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charities Commission. The trustees have considered the public benefit delivered by Hetty’s and have made the following response: “Our aim is to benefit disadvantaged families and communities by providing free support around substance misuse.

About the service
Hetty’s is a dedicated family service, providing emotional and practical support to family members affected by a loved one’s substance or alcohol misuse. With deep community roots and over 25 years’ experience, Hetty’s has established a reputation of non-judgmental and effective support provision, which is clearly evidenced in service feedback and partnership support.
Family members enter the service during times of despair and chaos, and, using a variety of interventions, Hetty’s aim is to reduce isolation and empower families, individuals, and communities to maximise and improve their social capital and life chances. However, management recognises that the impact on families can be complex, and often more than one member of the family may require support at any one time, and so, where possible, the service has been tailored to ensure that it supports whole families with their individual issues by working in close partnership with other support services.
Hetty’s provides a range of services that are aimed at providing diversity of engagement, and progression opportunities, for clients. These include:
-
A telephone helpline - immediate crisis support, advice, information and brief interventions, daily from 9am9pm. Text-based and email support also available for clients who want to remain anonymous or have communication difficulties.
-
One to one support – including Risk assessment, Rickter assessment and support sessions utilising a wide range of psychosocial interventions (12 weeks and then review)
-
Weekly educational workshops across the seven districts
-
Monthly “You understand me too” workshops (Co facilitated by a family worker and a recovering service user)
-
Structured peer support groups across all seven districts
-
Volunteer opportunities for families and recovering service users within family support and peer groups also in Hetty’s trading premises (trading shops and an EBay shop)
-
Access to low cost complementary therapies
-
Full kinship care service to families who have taken on the primary caregiver role for a substance user’s children. Alongside the standard support (as described above), the service actively engages with social care, schools, and children’s services to achieve greater stability for the child. (This may include attendance and advocacy at multi-agency meetings, case conferences, reviews and court hearings).
National picture:
According to the UKDPC study (2009) "Supporting the supporters: families of drug misusers", the cost of the harms experienced by families as a result of their relative’s drug use amounts to £1.8 billion per year. These
Page 3
HETTY'S (a company limited by guarantee)
TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Achievements and performance (continued)
harms include psychological distress, mental and physical ill health, domestic violence (which can often accompany substance misuse), negative financial impacts including theft and paying off drug debts, and the impact on employment through stress or the need to provide care for the user (or the user’s children, in the case of many grandparent carers).
The UK Drug Policy Commission states that "families can and do contribute" to routine care and support of drug misusers, and in some cases provide detoxification services at home – relieving the pressure on NHS services as well as providing accommodation, support and day-to-day care that might otherwise need to be provided by the state’. The report estimated these cost savings to the state at £750 million per year.
Service Evaluation:
Hetty’s successfully engaged and worked with 478 individual clients in the reporting period 1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021. These unique clients accessed 5,556 sessions from a range of support on offer, with 7,966 attendances within the sessions. Due to the duration of time clients access the service Hetty's delivered interventions to approximately 200 actively engaged clients every month.

Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The board has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible assets held by the charity should be around 12 months of current expenditure. Due to changes in funding by the Local Authorities in October 2014, families where the substance user is not obtaining treatment from a service provider are no longer funded and so a strategic plan was implemented to cover this deficit. Hetty’s were successful with their application for the ‘Reaching Communities’ funding from The Community Fund, covering these “Forgotten Families”, and this title has stayed with the project and has provided a 5 year stepped reduction grant, 2019/20 saw the commencement of year 5 of this grant.
Financial position:
The charity needs reserves to enable it to meet both its ongoing commitments in respect of its general charitable activities and to meet its future operating requirements. The level of total reserves is judged appropriate for the present situation and needs of the charity. The trustees will review this position and policy on an annual basis.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Hetty's is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee, number 1133138 and was set up by a Memorandum of Association.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1. Accounting policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Hetty's meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
1.2 Going concern
At the date of signing there is a degree of uncertainty about the economic impact of COVID-19. The trustees continue to monitor the position closely however they believe that the company can continue at its current level of activity subject to continued support from funders and the bank and they therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis.
1.3 Income
All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.
1.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Government grants relating to tangible fixed assets are treated as deferred income and released to the statement of financial activities over the expected useful lives of the assets concerned. Other grants are credited to the statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.
1.6 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
1.7 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £2,500 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .
Depreciation is provided on the following bases:
| Freehold property | - straight line over 25 or 50 years |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - 1/3 straight line basis |
1.8 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
1.9 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

1. Accounting policies (continued)
1.10 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is 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.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
1.11 Financial instruments
The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.12 Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities on a straight line basis over the lease term.
1.13 Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.
1.14 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

1.15 Concessionary loans
The company has taken advantage of Section 34 of FRS 102 to recognise loans to and from public benefit entities as concessionary loans. As such the company initially recognised and measured the loans at the amounts payable and receivable in the balance sheet. In subsequent years, the carrying values will be adjusted to reflect repayments and any accrued interest, where applicable an adjusted if necessary for any impairment.
