THE ROAD TO RECOVERY TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's objects are the relief and rehabilitation of those who are suffering as a result of addiction or compulsive disorder, in particular through promoting access to and take-up of the 12 Step Recovery programme. The preservation and protection of the physical and mental health of such persons and their families and carers by providing information and support. The advancement of education amongst the public so as to prevent the misuse of or addition to alcohol, drugs, or other addictive substances.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities

We are happy to report that thanks to the dedicated efforts of our staff team, sessional/external/contracted workers, volunteers, and Trustees, the Road to Recovery Trust has navigated another year of serving the Twelve Step and Drug and Alcohol Recovery communities. If the reporting period is anything to go by, we need to be vigilant about potential upcoming threats and nimble enough to react appropriately in a timely fashion, which is possibly easier said than done as staff, trustees and volunteers have still to manage the Covid fallout, systemic health and social care pressures, all exacerbated horribly by the "cost of living" crisis, (which some have more accurately renamed a "cost of greed" crisis") both organisationally and as individuals, while serving our beneficiaries.

All who've contributed to the survival of the Trust need thanking, and it's usually unfair to single any individual out for particular praise, but we have to make an exception for Jimmy Dixon, who has served the Trust marvellously, always giving his best, going the extra mile and doing sterling work.

To date, we have been involved deeply in the local and regional dialogue about what the new world of drug and alcohol (and other addictions) health and social care services will look like and how it might operate, and these discussions have helped to inform our forward thinking, and in this period we laid a lot of the foundations for partnership working which is very much what funders and commissioners are going to be looking for in the future.

Where things become more troubling relates to finance and income. The Trust's longstanding precariousness has not gone away, and the ongoing climate of insecurity was unsettling and necessitated a very prudent approach, and a curtailment or postponement of some activities until the requisite funding actually appears. We'd dearly love to maximise our use of the building we occupy, reopen the café, have activities every day and night but have been unable to secure the resources (financial and human) to allow this to happen. There are ambitious system plans, locally and regionally in which we've been centrally positioned, but to be fully realised they do need distinct funding. It is our firm belief that we will be able to access some of the promised new monies for this programme, but quite how much very much remains to be determined.

In conclusion then, we have plans and aspirations, as indeed do other people for us, but the systemic turmoil in health and social care, and the volatility of the funding sector, let alone the ongoing disruption in the wider world mean that what we end up with will almost certainly look markedly different to today's plans, though hopefully still congruent with our values and modus operandi. So, cautious and modest hope for future developments that will benefit more people seeking to journey in recovery, but no complacency, rather a watchful outlook, knowing that we'll have to be able to respond to the unexpected.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROAD TO RECOVERY TRUST

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Road To Recovery Trust ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and 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.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis. In the opinion of trustees, no material uncertainties exist about the charity's ability to continue.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the 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.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs are allocated to the charity's activities on the basis of fair usage of staff and facilities.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Improvements to property - 20% on cost Plant and machinery - 33% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost
