Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year		 The Safe, Basingstoke, formally known as The Basingstoke PCC,
supports and counsels girls and women, plus their families and partners,
who are facing distress due to unintended pregnancy or pregnancy loss
including support following termination. Bereaved Parents Support is
provided on a one to one basis for parents who have lost a baby or young
child.
The Safe is situated on a pedestrianised area of Basingstoke Town
Centre and also backs onto a car park, making it easily accessible to the
general public. The Safe is open for appointments that can be made to
suit clients and there is a dedicated mobile for client contact. The Safe
has an open door policy to any member of the public who requires
confidential advice or support. The Safe has 11 voluntary workers and a
small group of 6 self-employed individuals who provide management and
support on a needs basis.
The Safe also provides baby/child equipment and clothing for up to age
12 years, to parents who are in need, and can also signpost to other
support agencies in the area. This continues to be very well used, with
regular generous donations keeping the baby store well stocked.
The Safe has provided 148 hours of support sessions to 107 clients over
the year, to people from all walks of life, and in varying degrees of
distress. The centre covers a wide geographical area, including
Basingstoke, Newbury, Hook, Overton, Fleet, Whitchurch and
Farnborough.
People are often referred to The Safe from other related agencies which
support vulnerable people. The volunteers also distribute information to
GPs, midwives, health visitors, sexual and reproductive health services,
and relevant local council departments such as social services, children’s
services and other health advisers.
‘The Safe Group’ for mothers with pre-school children runs on
Wednesday throughout school term times; it offers befriending, parental
support, and an opportunity to meet with other mums. There are toys and
activities for the children and babies. The support work offers
opportunities for confidence building and First Aid training and holds
celebrations that reflect cultural differences.
Saturday Parents’ Group for families needing a bit more support.
Two other support groups continued to run this year. One is the Dads’
Hub for men who are officially caring for their children as a result of family
break up, and runs the second Saturday of every month. The other is
Hope for Carers, a self help support group for parents and carers of
young people with autism and mental health issues, which runs the first
Friday of every month at The Safe, and on Zoom the Tuesday following
the first Friday.

Section C Notes to the accounts (cont)

Note 15 Additional Disclosures

The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.

The premises occupied by this charity are owned by a company which is controlled by the family of one of the trustees. The premises are leased to the charity on a peppercorn rent. The charity is responsible for the running costs of the building. Throughout 2022/23 all support services, including administration, have been obtained on a needs basis. This year these costs have been split to better explain them and to aid internal controls.

In July 2021 a water leak occurred just outside our premises which necessitated the services of an emergncy plumber. The cost of this was £2747. Subsequently the trustees agreed an offer of £1500 from the local council to offset part of this expenditure. This is shown as income for 2022/23 under "Other one-off donations and grants" as is the receipt of £4200 to cover the cost of £4183 for a new boiler. During the year restricted grants totalling £3341 were received as detailed in Note 13.
