To relieve the distress and suffering of women, men and children who have suffered, experienced or are exposed to domestic abuse, inter personal violence, sexual assault, stalking and/or child sexual exploitation;

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
## **Refuge Accommodation and Dedicated Children and Family Service**
Rotherham Rise manages 10 self-contained units of refuge accommodation on behalf of Together Housing Association. The refuge location is confidential and there are strict policies to maintain this. The core refuge accommodation is for women and their children who are provided with short-term temporary accommodation and support to enable them to recover and move on from domestic violence and abuse. Support includes wellbeing support, advocacy, key work, peer support, group work, parenting support, learning opportunities and support to access other services. We aim to support women and children to rebuild their lives free from abuse, access appropriate housing and begin to live more independently.
Making the decision to leave a home, moving into an unfamiliar environment, and leaving personal possessions is a challenging time. Alongside this, parents have the additional anxieties of their children having to leave their familiar environment, extended family and friends.
Refuge Staff endeavour to support individuals and families through this transition, and moving forward with their lives. To enable this, we offer a welcoming and comfortable environment, as well as providing a bespoke holistic support package helping residents to regain self-esteem and confidence.
The refuge provision offers a vital service for those who have made the difficult decision that it is no longer safe for them to remain in their own home. Improved safety and access to bespoke support can be life changing.
## **Safer Options**
Safer Options is part of the refuge accommodation provision, providing accommodation in the community for adults and their children fleeing domestic violence and abuse. Delivery is in partnership with Target Housing who source and provide the housing management of the accommodation. This extension of refuge accommodation has enabled the availability of another 10 properties. The project also provides access to people who may not be able to access the core refuge, this includes men.
Staff provide bespoke support for those accommodated as outlined in the refuge accommodation including access to an out of hours on-call provision, 365 days a year.
## **Community Support Services:**
This year the commissioned floating support contracts were commercially tendered by RMBC; the new service specification was for one contracted domestic abuse outreach service. We were successfully awarded this contract. The two floating support contracts continued up to September 30th 2022, and the new contract commenced from 1st October 2022. Implementation of the new contract took place prior to contract commencement to ensure delivery ready for the start date.
## **Community Domestic Abuse Support Services up to September 2022**
Community Domestic abuse Service.
The support service offered one to one support for adults who have been affected by domestic abuse. We received referrals from a wide range of agencies, with Police and Self-Referrals making up our highest source of referral.
Individual, were provided with initial safety planning and advice. This was followed by an offer of bespoke support to address practical, emotional and immediate needs such as safety, housing, financial/benefits, children's welfare, signposting as appropriate etc. We work in partnership with other agencies to maximise the safety of the adults and children involved.
The focus and aim of the support offered was to prevent the cycle of abuse, and to help individuals develop strategies to issues that can affect their everyday life. Pathways to step down support following one to one service include access to a range of group work programmes. These groups offer opportunity for individuals to develop their confidence, learning opportunities and support networks.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
The service included committed staff who have a range of languages including Urdu, Punjabi, Arabic. BAME clients experiencing domestic abuse may have language and cultural barriers, which affect their ability to seek support. Our staff have language and cultural understanding, which is invaluable when supporting clients from diverse backgrounds. We provide a specialist, personalised service to meet the needs of those that come to us for support.
The service operated within strict boundaries of confidentiality to ensure no client information is ever shared inappropriately. We have worked with clients from over sixteen different ethnicity's living here in Rotherham, and dealt with a wide range of issues including, trafficking, immigration, Sharia divorce, forced marriage among others.

**Rotherham Rise**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
When children have witnessed or experienced domestic abuse, we often work with them around topics of what are feelings and what is safety, explaining what they have witnessed or experienced in a way they can understand to give them tools to express themselves better. We will also work with the guardian (parent or carer) so that they have a better understanding of how to support themselves and their children in recovering and coping with domestic abuse.
For young people, who have experienced an abusive relationship themselves, we provide a specialist service that aims to empower them and better understand unhealthy and healthy relationships.
## **Post Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Services:**
## **Support Service**
Offering a tailored trauma informed support package based on individual need for those affected by Child Sexual Exploitation. Rotherham Rise works in partnership with the Trauma Resilience Service (TRS). Via the TRS, Rotherham Rise practitioners have received Trauma Matters, further enhancing skills in delivering trauma informed services. With a cohort of practitioners completing Trauma Stabilisation Facilitator Training, who deliver Trauma Stabilisation Classes.
## **Counselling Service**
The Counselling Service provides compassionate, timely, person centred approaches; experience has demonstrated that it is the way in which the counselling is delivered that can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of client growth, mental health and wellbeing.
Compassion, empathy and respect are core values upheld in counselling and viewed as integral to the counselling process. Counselling is an effective intervention that strengthens the client's commitment to utilising personal resources to achieve positive and sustainable change. This year the counselling service welcomed and supported students to access and complete placements within the counselling service.
## **Central Hub and Community Cafe**
After securing a long-term lease at a property in the Rotherham Town centre we took the decision to actively seek the funds to purchase the building to maximise the investment made and to provide long term stability for the charity. We successfully achieved social investment and placed an offer on the building, which was accepted. The purchase of the building was completed in November 2019. Due to the building having existing tenants, Rotherham Rise became a landlord.
Following closure due to the pandemic the community cafe, based within the Rotherham Rise building, reopened in October 2020. The cafe named Hygge aims to offer a welcoming and relaxing place for meeting for food and drinks as well as offering opportunities to take part in community groups and activities. The cafe also offers a non-stigmatised route to services by creating awareness of the charity as well as providing opportunity to link through a range of activities and groups. Successful funding to enable recruitment of a community involvement project worker has supported an increase in activities and partnerships for delivering groups and activities. For example: Tots group, Chatty Cafe and Knit and Natter.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Existing Outreach contracts were commercially tendered and Rotherham Rise was awarded the contract that replaced the two previous contracts. The new contract value was higher than the combined value, however there was a significant increase in the contract requirements including providing a helpline and providing the support for all risk levels of domestic abuse. The contract was also awarded at a time of economic and cost of living crisis.
RMBC Contracts remain the main source of funding for Rotherham Rise and these contracts have had a static contract value for a number of years, while experiencing increased demand and complexity of cases. Rotherham Rise has requested RMBC consider uplifts on contracts, without success.
During the pandemic the organisation was successfully awarded grants to delivery additional services in response to the crisis and enable expansion including the increase of community refuge accommodation; Safer Options. Fortunately, the funding for the Safer Options project has been continued via RMBC, unfortunately this funding was cut significantly.
Opportunities continue for us to develop and expand our services through successful award of grants. However, this comes with challenges around managing short term funding and staffing. Rotherham Rise continues to be flexible and adapt to challenges of funding and managing high demand services.
The financial position of the organisation continues to be reviewed regularly, undertaking risk assessment and forecast. This has established the organisation's ability to continue to deliver existing services. However, assertive action is being taken to manage resources and overheads to reflect the current economic crisis and additional pressures this has on budgets.
## **Principal funding sources**
Principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant and contract income from Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council. Services contracted by RMBC include: Refuge Accommodation services, BAME and Floating Support up to September 2022, DACCR from October 202, Post CSE Support and Counselling Service. Two Central Government Grants managed by the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner enable projects for Children and young people, and men affected by domestic abuse to be delivered.
In response to the Charity's dependence on local authority grants and contracts, we continue to progress our funding and risk management strategy, which supports applications to alternative funders in order to develop future services that meet the needs of adults, children and young people., The charity also works closely with other agencies to improve outcomes for clients and will consider joint funding bids where appropriate.
## **Additional Funding Sources**
During this year we received the following grants and donations:
- Barnsley and Rotherham Chambers Charity of the year; donation
- Cash for Kids, Hallam FM, donation of toys for Christmas gifts for refuge and Outreach service children.
- A variety of local businesses, individuals and communities held fundraising events and /or donated money
- Rotherham Rise continues to receive monies through the RMBC 'Pennies from Heaven' staff donation scheme.
- Rotherham Rise continues to receive gifts and donations of clothing, food, and Christmas presents for women and children, from Mother's Union and individuals. Rotherham Rise received a legacy donation.

**Rotherham Rise**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
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 expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
## **AUDITORS**
The auditors, KJA Kilner Johnson Ltd (Statutory Auditors), will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
Approved by order of the board of trustees on 25 March 2024 and signed on its behalf by:
Mrs C Finnigan - Trustee

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Rotherham Rise**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Rotherham Rise (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2023 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).
In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **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.
## **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.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or
- the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Rotherham Rise**
## **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**
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
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:
While planning our audit, we have made enquiries of management and those charged with governance around any actual or potential litigation and claims against the company for non-compliance with specific laws and regulations. The same has been done in respect of any instances of fraud or irregularities. The responses received have been communicated with the engagement team at the planning stage.
We have not been informed of any specific laws or regulatory related issues that could materially impact the financial statements in addition to this, there has been no suspected fraud or irregularities reported to us.
While planning our audit the engagement partner selected appropriately trained staff to be engaged in the audit and the team are allocated based on their competence and capabilities.
The audit work undertaken is a substantive work based audit approach, reviewing to source documentation where appropriate and includes a review and walkthrough of the systems which management have put in place. These tests are directional. Therefore, they are designed in a way to maximise audit effectiveness and the possible identification of any material fraud, irregularities, or instances of systems and procedure breaches. Our testing did not identify any issues that requires any additional reporting.
These tests and other areas of our audit work are designed to enhance our ability to detect cases of material fraud and certain irregularities. It should be noted that our audit is carried out using a material based approach and therefore does not test every transaction, as such it would not detect all instances of irregularities and specifically fraud which is inherently more difficult to detect.
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.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Rotherham Rise**
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's trustees 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 trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

**Rotherham Rise**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **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.
## **Income**
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA). Incoming resources are recognised when:
(a) The company becomes entitled to the resources
(b) The directors are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
- (c) The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fund-raising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the company has unconditional entitlement to the resources. Contractual income is only included in the SoFA once the related goods or performance related services have been delivered. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is charged to the statement of financial activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Expenditure is classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that 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.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred in the delivery of the charity's activities and services for its beneficiaries, including both direct and support costs.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting constitutional and statutory requirements, including Accountancy fees.
.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Freehold property - 2% straight line Plant and machinery - 33% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 33% straight line Motor vehicles - 20% straight line
## **Taxation**
The company is not VAT registered. As a Charity the company is exempt from taxation on income and gains falling within section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or s256 of the Taxation of chargeable gains Act section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or s256 of the Taxation of chargeable gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
## **Fund accounting**
Restricted funds are funds received from donors which are subject to restrictions on the purposes for which they may be used of which have been raised for a specific project.
Unrestricted funds are those where there are no externally imposed restrictions. These include funds freely available to the charity for expenditure or appropriation to reserves for internally designated purposes.
