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;
To relieve any woman, man or child in necessitous circumstances who may be temporarily homeless by (but not limited to) providing refuge accommodation, making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities and/or by the preservation and protection of their mental and physical health in such ways as shall relieve their need, and to offer advice, information and support to any person who is or has been affected by domestic abuse and/or child sexual exploitation;

The aims of our charity are to reduce the prevalence of domestic abuse and its impact on individuals and children affected, as well as working to create a society where violence against women, men and children is neither accepted nor tolerated.
The review of our aims, objectives and activities takes place regularly as part of our business planning and development processes. The review involves a range of stakeholders and considers what we have achieved and the benefits these activities have brought to our beneficiaries and the wider community.
Following this review, we anticipate refining our memorandum of articles and associated objectives in the forthcoming financial period to better align with the needs we serve, and ensure our aims, objectives and activities remain and continue to be focused on our stated purposes.
Throughout the year, our commitment has been the promotion of awareness and the prevention of violence and abuse towards individuals of all ages, while also providing supportive and protective services. Our strategic approach encompassed:

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Public benefit**
In the past year, our organisation has been dedicated to serving a specific segment of the community within the constraints of our objectives and financial resources. Our efforts have been focused on providing support to adults, children, and young people who have experienced domestic and sexual abuse, as well as trauma. Additionally, we have engaged with professionals and community groups through participation in activities aimed at raising awareness, and by offering advice and information. Our reach has also extended to the broader community, ensuring that our impact is as inclusive and far-reaching as possible.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
## **Refuge Accommodation and Dedicated Children and Family Service**
Over the past year, Hopian has managed 10 dedicated refuge units, in partnership with Together Housing Association. The location of these units is safeguarded by confidentiality policies. Our primary service is to provide women and their children fleeing domestic violence and abuse with secure, temporary refuge accommodation. This sanctuary is aligned with a comprehensive support service aimed at fostering recovery and independence, including wellbeing and advocacy services, individualised key work, peer and group support sessions, parenting guidance, educational opportunities, and assistance in navigating additional services. Our mission is to empower individuals to reconstruct their lives, free from abuse, by securing suitable housing.
Embarking on a journey into a new, unknown space, often without personal belongings, is an immense challenge. This is further compounded for parents by the concern for their children's adjustment away from their usual surroundings, friends, and extended family. Our Refuge Staff are dedicated to easing this period of transition, providing not only a warm and safe environment but also a tailored, holistic support system designed to restore residents' self-worth and confidence.
Our refuge services are crucial for individuals who have courageously decided to leave unsafe domestic situations. The enhanced security and personalised support we offer can be transformative, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives.
## **Safer Options**
Safer Options is an integral component of our refuge accommodation services, offering community-based housing for adults and children escaping domestic violence and abuse. In collaboration with Target Housing, which is responsible for sourcing and managing these accommodations, we have expanded our refuge services to include an additional 10 properties. This expansion not only increases our capacity but also extends our reach to individuals who may find it challenging to utilise our main refuge facilities, including male victims.
Our dedicated team ensures tailored support as provided within our primary refuge accommodations, complete with an out-of-hours on-call service available throughout the year. This comprehensive support network is pivotal in our mission to provide a safe haven and necessary resources for all individuals affected by domestic violence and abuse.
## **Community Support Services:**
## **Domestic Abuse Coordinated Community Response (DACCR)**
The Domestic Abuse Coordinated Community Response (DACCR), is a service user-centred framework developed by Hopian designed to:
- Offer comprehensive, trauma-aware support that promotes healing, and inclusive family approach.
- Empower those affected by Domestic Abuse through choice, education and safety.
- Focus on prevention through community and digital engagement activities and partnerships.
- Utilise all networks to support people through collaboration.
The DACCR initiative is strengthened by a broad spectrum of services, including online support, an interactive web-bot, digital tools, various contact points, and a helpline to assist those in need.

**Hopian**
## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
The DACCR service is currently navigating challenges associated with increased demand and capacity constraints, leading to extended waiting times for ongoing one-on-one support. This situation poses a heightened risk to the well-being of individuals and families, impacting our capacity to deliver effective services. The contract cost value pressures attributed to the high workload, and the complexity of cases, and exposure to trauma are risks to staff retention. These concerns have been communicated to RMBC, the commissioning body of this provision. We are committed to ongoing development and proactive strategies to maximise our resources and effectively manage the waiting list within the limits indicated. Our efforts have resulted in a reduction of the waiting list; nevertheless, its persistent length remains a significant concern for us.
## **Children and Young People Service**
The Children, Young People, and Family Support service is integral to the Refuge accommodation service and DACCR. Our holistic family service extends to include support for parents, ensuring a tailored approach to each individual's needs. This encompasses one-on-one sessions, therapeutic counselling, groups and activities.
## **Post Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) Services:**
## **Support Service**
Hopian is dedicated to delivering a bespoke support programme, informed by an understanding of trauma, to meet the unique needs of individuals impacted by Child Sexual Exploitation. This is achieved through a collaborative effort with the Trauma Resilience Service (TRS), ensuring a comprehensive approach.
Our Counselling Service is committed to providing empathetic and prompt support tailored to each person. Providing a positive influence for individuals mental health and overall wellbeing.
Furthermore, our counselling service has been instrumental in fostering the professional growth of students by offering them the opportunity to undertake and successfully complete their practical training within it, enhancing both their experience and the quality of support provided.
## **Community Engagement**
At the commencement of 2023, the community café Hygge opened its doors, aspiring to create an inviting space for the community to gather for food and beverages. It also aimed to foster participation in various community groups and activities. The café served as an accessible and non-judgmental conduit to our charity's services, enhancing awareness and facilitating connections through diverse activities and groups. Our community engagement workers expanded these offerings, establishing partnerships and introducing initiatives such as the Tots group, Chatty Café, and Knit and Natter.
Regrettably, in July 2023, a flood inflicted significant damage upon the café, necessitating its temporary closure. This event was a profound setback for the flourishing community hub, deeply felt by all. Despite this, we managed to sustain certain groups and activities, maintaining our commitment to community service. Restoration efforts for the café are well underway, with the anticipation of reopening in July 2024, ready to welcome the community once again.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
In the face of static funding envelopes, our organisation has navigated the complexities of escalating core and operational costs, a direct consequence of the economic downturn and the rising cost of living. The surge in demand across all contractual obligations has tested our capacity to sustain service levels while ensuring the well-being of our workforce.
Hopian's primary funding stream stems from RMBC Contracts, which have not seen a financial increase despite the growing number and complexity of cases. Our appeals to RMBC for contract enhancements have yet to yield a positive outcome.
While we have sourced opportunities to grow and diversify our services through grant acquisitions, this is not without its own set of challenges, particularly in terms of short-term funding sustainability and workforce management. Nonetheless, Hopian remains resilient, continually adapting to the dynamic landscape of funding and service demand.
Our financial health is under constant scrutiny, with regular risk assessments and forecasting reinforcing our capability to maintain service provision. Proactive measures are being implemented to align our resource allocation and overheads with the prevailing economic conditions and the resultant budgetary constraints.
## **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, DACCR, 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:
- Reaching Communities' initiative has significantly enhanced community engagement.
- 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
- Hopian continues to receive monies through the RMBC 'Pennies from Heaven' staff donation scheme.
- Hopian continues to receive gifts and donations of clothing, food, and Christmas presents for women and children, from
- Mother's Union and individuals.
## **Reserves policy**
The Trustee/Directors have made a commitment to maintain reserves equivalent to 3 months of expenditure, from unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible assets. The reserves are needed to ensure the charity can meet liabilities should it need to operate with a reduced income or has to close down. Although the long-term strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operating surpluses, the Directors continue to consider the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed should such circumstances arise and are confident, should the organisation be required to close, the existing reserves would be sufficient.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Induction and training of new trustees**
The charity has a Trustee base recruited from local organisations and individuals who have a good understanding and/or experience of working with vulnerable groups including women and families. In an effort to understand and fully utilise the skill base of Trustees, they are asked to complete a skills and knowledge audit - where significant gaps in skills are identified and individuals are approached to fill these.
Most Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity and are invited to attend information sessions before and after recruitment. They are also given a handbook that contains additional information relevant to the work of the board and the responsibility of Trustees, covering:
- The obligations of a Trustee
- The organisation's constitution, memorandum and articles of the charity
- Strategic and business plans
- Key service and staff information
- Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts
- Future plans and objectives
- Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee"
- Articles and the latest financial statements
The board has faced the departure of experienced members due to personal circumstances. We are therefore actively recruiting new members with diverse skills and knowledge to ensure the charity continues to meet its objectives and thrives. Development days are held and individuals are encouraged to attend further relevant training, e.g. role and responsibilities of trustees etc.
## **Related parties**
Trustees always act in the interests of their charity and not for private benefit and receive no remuneration or benefit.
Expenses trustees can claim are outlined within the finance policy and procedures manual. To confirm, no trustees' expenses have been claimed during this reporting period.
No transactions have taken place with those persons and entities that are closely connected to the charity or its trustees, referred to as related parties.
## **Risk management**
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces.
Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Furthermore, a review has been conducted to ensure the Charity has finance systems and processes in place which meet its needs and its growing sophistication of operation and financial complexity. This ensures compliance and mitigates internal control risks effectively. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the project.
The continuing implementation of Quality Frameworks ensures a consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charity. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.
## **CHANGE OF NAME**
The charitable company passed a special resolution on 17 July 2024 changing its name from Rotherham Rise to Hopian.
## **EVENTS SINCE THE END OF THE YEAR**
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.

## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Hopian for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 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.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Trustees of Hopian**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Hopian (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).
- 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 2024 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 Hopian**
## **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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024**
## **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.
