Our funding streams have grown, and with it, our staff team to meet the growing demand for our services. We are receiving referrals from new and diverse partners across Sunderland and other National Organisations. We have ended the financial year with 6 part time staff. Despite a small staff team, we have worked with over 315 people in one-to-one support and 89 individuals in Group Support. This year has seen a strong emphasis placed on our client centred approach through the coaching and mentoring model, which places the client at the centre of the process and ensures that they are included in considerations regarding decisions made, targets set, and the learning taken from previous actions and outcomes. This approach has demonstrated the positivity generated through the client empowerment process and evidenced through our recorded success rate. The financial climate remains challenging and as such the board and staff have placed a greater emphasis on developing the volunteer base, which not only has a positive impact on our clients’ recovery and ability to meet ever increasing need but also provides the opportunity to develop and progress new ideas. We currently have 7 volunteers, many who have had substance or alcohol issues themselves and are able to offer peer knowledge and support to our clients. Other volunteers have loved ones who have had substance and alcohol issues and are passionate about support individuals and loved ones of those effected. As a board we continue to submit funding applications and are always looking for opportunities to further develop the charity. We have almost doubled our income from grant funding from the previous financial year and 2023/2024 is already shaping up to be another year of growth. My sincere thanks go to all those that have supported NERAF past, present, and future and a huge, big thank you to all our customers, volunteers, peers, staff, and stakeholders; without which our continuing success would not be achievable. Similar to last year, this year has been a tough year for us, and for other charities providing similar support, and if it were not for your continuing support to access our service, referring to us, and volunteering for us, our task would be so much harder to accomplish. Thank you also to the Board of Trustees who do so much unrecognised and voluntary work behind the scenes and often must make tough decisions, financial pressures and robust decision making is at the heart at what we do at NERAF, and this could not be achieved without the support of Board. I would like to take a moment to say a big well done to those who have sustained and flourished in their recovery this year and wish you success to the future. Unfortunately, we have lost some people along the way either to their addiction or for other reasons. I hope and wish them well for the future too. As with other third sector organisations we are aware of the financial difficulties that are present given the current climate following Covid, as a Board we are proud that we continue to make positive financial headway in these challenging times. 2 **NORTHERN ENGAGEMENT INTO RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION FOUNDATION** (A company limited by guarantee) **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 31 March 2023 ## Eleanor Griffin Chair of Board for NERAF ## **Plans for the future** We continue to monitor and review all non-essential work in order to keep all costs to a minimum whilst being sure not to compromise the quality of our service delivery. As a strong element of our work to support our service users, NERAF continue to seek out new partnership opportunities whilst maintaining positive relationships with our existing partners. These will enable us to finance our work across public health contracts, grant work and independently paid for commercial work. In this way we aim to spread our financial risk and any surplus gained will be used to support our ongoing day to day activities of one to one and group work. ## **Financial review** The total income for the year was £144,624 (2022: £78,210) of which £ **16,865** was restricted (2022: £43,361).

The charity continues to benefit from the provision of long-term loan finance from NorthStar Ventures. 3 **NORTHERN ENGAGEMENT INTO RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION FOUNDATION** (A company limited by guarantee) **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 31 March 2023 The Trustees continue to have a target to build up reserves to represent three months of expenditure, approximately £30,000.

The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which establishes the objectives and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. ## Appointment, Induction and Training of Trustees The management of the charitable company is the responsibility of the Trustees. Trustees are provided with correct advice, guidance and support to enable them to fulfil their duties to the standard required of the Charity Commission. Induction will consist of: - Explanation of appropriate documents relevant to the position - One to one meetings with the chair of the Trustees and the Chief executive Officer - Criminal record bureau Checks - Confidentiality Procedures - Health and Safety procedures; and - Training will be provided as required. ## Organisation The Trustees meet every quarter and deal with the administration of the charity to ensure that Northern Engagement into Recovery from Addiction Foundation has a clear vision and strategy for the future, and to monitor the performance against plans, to support the management and staff team, and to oversee financial accountability and risk management. The operational management of the organisation is undertaken by the paid staff team. ## Risk Management The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks including the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and for ensuring the consistent quality of the delivery of all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. 5 **NORTHERN ENGAGEMENT INTO RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION FOUNDATION** (A company limited by guarantee) **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** For the year ended 31 March 2023 ## **Public benefit statement** The Trustees/directors have considered the guidance produced by the Charity Commission on the provision of public benefit and they confirm that public benefit has been provided by the range of activities as described above. ## **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 show 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. Approved by the Board on: _ 15.12.2023 ___________________ and signed on their behalf by: Ms E Griffin ____________________ Chair 6 ## **NORTHERN ENGAGEMENT INTO RECOVERY FROM ADDICTION FOUNDATION** (A company limited by guarantee) ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES** ## For the year ended 31 March 2023 I report on the financial statements of Northern Engagement into Recovery from Addiction Foundation for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 7 to 9. ## **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, 9 - 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.
