CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REPORT
The past few years have been drfficult for many of us and 2023 was espeoally challenging for
the communities we serve. This last year has been one that has presented incredible
challenges and it is our most vulnerable families. who have experienced the widespread impact
of the cost-of-living crisis. However, we are determined to do everything we can to continue
providing high quality. safe and compassionate services. 2024 saw us hit an unwanted target of
experiencing our highest waiting list for our services since our In￿ptiOn. some 25 years ago. It
has been and will remain challenging for the foreseeable future and I would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of rny colleagues and all of our Trustees for the extraordinary hard work
and resilience they are demonstrating.
We have continued to meet the majority of all our obligations to all our investors. Crucially, we
continue to witness the difference our work is having on families. I see charities like Iceni as the
backbone of society and are skilled in serving communities and innovating lo deliver effective
social impact. Local charities serve the community. they are part of the local ecology, and they
should be able to capitalise on their unique local knowledge and experknse. l. of course would
say that investing in preventative, communty-based sep4ices and using the sector's expertise
with meaningful collaboration will help indusive growlh and tackle the root causes of societal
ssues.
However, I'Tn acutely aware of the huge fiscal thallenges for the county. There is precious little
funding for already underfunded public services. let alone the charity sector, and various groups
and sectors will be fighting for their share of a very small pie. The coming year could be harder
still, but my priority is for us to remain the turning point for families across the next years and
beyond.
It is an important time for Iceni and other charities, for some li is just about surviving these trying
times. There's a lot of doom and gloom about and many smaller charities are finding it difficult
to maintain their services but even though tough challenges ￿maIn for a least a year or two,
they aren't intractable. The cuffent financial situalion wkll not last forever and eventually there
will be an uptum. hopefully charities will ride out the stomi and still be around in better limes.
What is apparent is that there is only so much we can and should do on our own. The
challenges children and families face are too complicated for one organisation to solve. We will
explore improved extemal relationships to better support families whilst refocussing our efforts
on building a more equitable, diverse and indusive organisation. We will also continue on our
strategic joumey, even though some elements are proving difficult to achieve.
People
We will continue to ensure we are providing the best possible support and development to our
staff team, who have achieved so much this year. The wellbeing and happiness of all staff,
volunteers and trustees is of the utmost Importan￿ and we are well aware of the additional
strain that staff have experienced wrth the high demand for our seDiices. We have provided
frequent and regular supervision to our staff throughout the year and this helps thern to review
their own work, that of their colleagues and the systems that are in place to support them.
Supervision is crucial for the professional and personal development of our staff as are the daily
staff meetings when feedback from staff is encouraged and listened to particularly to improve
issues raised.

ICENI IPSWICH
To ensure staff are adequately up to date with relevant skills needed, we undertook several
training sessions for our Staff, and 95Yo of our staff team and trustees attended training on
LGTBQ+ Diversity and Inclusivity and Suicide Awareness training. We also re-launched
managers meetings. with monthly meetings being held with regular attendance by myself, the
office manager. the Venta manager an(1 operational manager. This ensures strong links are
forged between those wth managerial responsibilities and improves communication between
everyone at Iceni.
Our single motivation remains to achieve the best possible outcome for those we are here to
support. This is what we stand for now and what we have stood for since 1999. I'm confident
that we will continue to deliver these high-qualrty services for Suffolks most vulnerable children
and families even in times of financial challenges. In addition. to continue to make the greatest
impact from our work. we will respond to the complex challenges we face
targeting our
resources effectively, influencing and working in partnership with others. ensuring we are
efficient in all that we do. whilst we diversify and expand our reach.

Charities Act 2011 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities.. Statement of Recommended
Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
I￿ni Ipswich was incorporated on 20 June 2011 under company registration number 07675101
(England and Wales) and is a Company limited by guarantee. The Company became a
registered Charity on 30 March 2012. The Company took over the staff and operations of The
I￿ni Project (an unincorporated charity) together with that Charity's assets, liabilities and
commitments on 1 April 2012.
The Company is govemed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. as amended by
Gpocial rosolution on 6 July 2022.
The Directors of the Company are the Charity's Trustees for the purposes of charity law and
throughout this report they are collectively refeffed to as the Trustees. Trustees are recruited in
a variety of ways, induding introductions from existing Trustees and others associated with Iceni
Ipswich. A recommendation is then made to the Board of Trustees. following a meeting wth the
Chairman and the Chief Executive. Potential Twstees will attend a meeting of the Board of
Trustees before appointment. Trustees can be appointed either at a meeting of the board or by
the Company's members by ordinary resolution at a general meeting.
Trustees are invited to attend a short induction training session and are thereafter encouraged
to participate in appropriate training courses. Periodically. Trustees participate in strategy
workshops which bring together Trustees and staff.
The Trustees meet on a regular basis in order to review and agree major areas of policy. The
role of the Board of Tnjstees is principally to..
> ensure that Iceni Ipswich has a clear vision. mission and strategic direction; and
> monitor and support the Chief Executive in order to achieve these objectives.
The day to day running of the Charity and the exercise of executive responsibility is delegated
by the Trustees to the Chief Executive.
The Trustees and the executive have joint responsibility for identitying and managing the major
risks which are likely to affect Ihe long-tenn viability of the Charity. Where possible, systems
and procedures have been introduced to mitigate the potential impact on the Charity should
those risks materialise. The major risks are considered to be financial in nature. The Trustees
and executive continue to seek funding from a variety of sources to ensure that the Charity will
be able to continue to operate at an appropriate level for the foreseeable future. As in previous
years, efforts continue to pursue a diverse mix of funding from local authorities, public bodies
and private corporations, donations from individuals, arKI local fundraising activities.

Our Aspiration. Objectives and Major Outcomes
Iceni works with families, and this engenders in them hope in themselves. The ethos and
structure of Iceni is to make change the norm instead of a wild aspirational status and by
addressing parental problems we believe the chances of children having a better start in life
greatly increase. To achieve this, we:
Focus on supporting those families who face multrple disadvantage and who are most
vulnerable, yet tradilionally have not engaged wth services.
Provide effective interventions for parents to recover from addiction and abuse whilst
ensuring their children are protected.
Br8ak the cycle of generational addiction and abuse and preventing today's children from
becoming tomorrows addicted parents and tomorrow's problems.
Our objectives are to offer care and sUPP)rt to families in Suffolk who experience:
Substance misuse problems
Co-existing problems of substance misuse and Domestic Abuse
Adverse childhood eXperien￿S
Being a victim of Domestic Abuse and those that cause harm within the family.
The main outcomes we aim to achieve that are aligned with our mission, vision and values are:
Reduction in incidents of domestic abuse
Stopping or greatly reducing drug and alcohol use.

ICENI IPSWICH
Reduction in the number of chIld￿n taken into statutory care and reduction in Social
Services interventions where parental substsnce misuse or domestic abuse is a
contributing factor.
PUBLIC BENEFIT

benefit and have tsken this into account ￿ffien designing and delivering services to clients and to

Our beneficiaries
The majority of families we worked with live in Ipswich. We saw a slight increase in families
living in other areas of the county and we hope to increase this number in the coming years. The
entry criteria onto our programme are: one or both parents having issues with drugs andlor
alcohol who have at least one child under the age of 16. However. the growth and success of
The Venta Programme (male perpetrator of domestic Violen￿ programme) means men do not
have to have a substance misuse issue to access this service. Our main beneficiaries are:
Parents with substance misuse problems
Those who experience co-existing issues with both substance and domestic abuse.
Families where early intervention can prevent problems from escalating and requiring
statutory involvement.
Families whose thildren are in the social care system.
Men who want to stop their abusive behaviour.

Increasing social value
Social value is often described as 'soft' outcomes. mainly because they can be difficult to
quantify and measure. However. we think about the whole social value of existing and future
spend. by rethinking service design and processes used to achieve the desired outwmes. It
encourages us to have a broader more holistic approach and work with communities and users
of services to find better ways to meet their needs and spend public money.
Social Value and Iceni
In 2024125 we aim to set some targets around social values as we believe that it is an importanl
barometer of how we impact all intemal and extemal stakeholders.
The Venta Programme
This programme continued to prove successful and this year we recruited two new staff
members. This means the Venta team now consists of 4 people. With continuation of funding
from The Home offi￿ we remain steadfast in our commilment to reducing Dornestic Abuse in
Suffolk by getting to the core of the problem: the men who cause harm. Our ambition is to
increase the number of programmes we deliver across the county.
Promoting Iceni and our story
Telling our story simply. effectively, truthfully and to a wider audience has never been more
important. We identified a weakness in this area when constructing our strategic plan. This year
we recruited a communication & marketing lead who has effectively raised our profile on both
various social media platforms and extemal presentstions and public events aixoss the county.
We have worked on a new website which goes live on October 2023 which will provide people
with a better understanding of what we do and why, and also increase our local fvndraising
efforts. Crucial to all of this promotional activity is our ability to tell 'our' story.
A good story - our narrative - allows us to share our vision, key messages and plans with all
intemal and external stakeholders in a powerful and compelling VRY. Telling the tale of our past
and present that everyone recognises. explaining current challenges and issues and outlining a
future that we want to make happen. A successful narrative will see everyone at Iceni telling the
same story about us to anyone who asks. Used pragmatically, it can help save time and energy,
with our narrative used ￿peatedlY across our communi(2kn'ons, delivering clear and consistent
communications across all activity.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income for the year was amounted to £460.162 (2023.. £469.124) and expenditure amounted to
£539.734 (2023: £476.533) giving net annual expenditure of £79,572 {2023: £7,409) and closing
fund balances of £334,611 (2023: £414,183). All closing funds are unrestricted, with £125,000
(2023: £125,000) being designated for future Venta programme development costs.
Iceni continued to receive significanl funding during 2023124 to support the continued
development and extension of the Charity's Venta Programme, directed towards the
perpetrators of domestic violence, as well as working with their partners where relevant and
helpful. This work is actively supported by both the Home Office and the Suffolk Police and
Crime Commissionerf5 Office. Incotne receivable for 2023124 amounted to £143,301 (2023:
£140,000) and Iceni has secured furlher funding to continue this area of work during 2024125.
The contract with Tuming Point continued throughout 2023124, and under this Iceni received
£120,000 (2023.. £120.000) for involvement in the Suffolk Recovery Network. This particular
contract expired at the end of March 2024 however Iceni has been Su￿ssful in negotiating a
new five-year contract for 2024125 and subsequent years, V￿th projected income of £165.000 for
that year, and similar amounts for future years, uplifted to reflect anticipated inflationary
increases in underlying costs.
Following a successful application to the National Lottery Fund for continuation funding, Iceni
secured funding of £410.000 for the four years between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2025. The
amount received for 2023124 was £95.000 (compared with £110.000 for the previous year) and
this will redu￿ to £80,000 in 2024125 (the final year under the Cu￿ent agreement). These grants
represent restricted fvnding to support Iceni's 'Strengthening Families, programme. Other
restricted grants received for 2023124 include £18,750 (2023: £22.500) from the Charles
Haywood Foundation (the final amount under a three-year grant commencing February 2021) to
support Iceni's 'Rapport' programme (using child-centred approaches to address the
development needs of young children up to primary school age). £10.000 from Suffolk County
Council (via Suffolk Community Foundation) to fund approved hardship payments to eligible
clients, and a number of grants from The Rope Trust to enable Iceni lo support specific clients
with essential costs during the year as well as contributing to client focused activities (£3,372
utilised during 2023124 compared y￿th £2,988 in 2022123).
Iceni also received a few unrestricted grants in 2023124 for core costs: £20.000 from Ipswich
Borough Council and £1,000 from the Elizabeth Frankland Moore & Stsr Foundation. Other
donations received from both personal and corporate supporters during 2023124 amounted to
£20.242 (2023: £10.862) in addition to fundraising income of £1,113 (2023: £11,253) and
income arising from drug testing work of £12,087 (2023: £4,028). Interest eamed on short term
deposits during 2023124 was significantly higher than in the previous year (£15,296 compared
with £1,827 last year) and this reflected not only the sustained rise in interest rates during the
current year. but also the benefrt gained from investing a proportion of available funds in a short
deposit fund account with the Charities Offiaal Investment Fund.

ICENI IPSWICH
Our reserves were reduced by £79,572 at the end of 2023124 (a full explanation is detailed
below).
Expenditu￿ for 2023124 was more than 13 0/0 above that of Ihe previous year. The main
contributory factor was again staff salaries. ￿lch (along with employerfs national insurance and
pension contributions) showed an increase of over 7 /0 year on year (£385,201 compared with
£359,322) and this follows an increase of 10 /0 In¢￿aSe during the previous year and an even
larger increase of 20 % in the year before that. Average payroll numbers for 2023124 were the
same as for 2022123. The worf( undertaken by the charity is complex and specralised. and it is
essential therefore to recruit and retain an appropriately qualified and trained v￿r1rfOrce who,
together with our many volunteers. provide such an excellent level of care and service each
year. The Charity's trustees are hugely grateful to all of its funders and supporters. without
which it would not be possible for the Charity lo mainlain such a comprehensive and varied level
of operations
Premises expenses indude rent. rates, electriaty charges. Tubbish disposal, property
maintenance, cleaning and decorating costs, and such costs in totsl were very similar to those
of the previous year. We have continued to accrue £5,000 per year lo cover the next round of
external decorating and maintenance work on the four units occupied by Iceni; this charge is
included in premises expenses, and the closing provision at 31 March 2024 stood at £15,000
(2023.. £10.000) and foms part of other provisions for liabilities of £18,000 {2023: £10,000). The
remaining provision of £3.000 at the end of the year relates to anticipated unbilled water rate
charges. following a large refund received during 2023124. Rent payable was £35,000 per
annum throughouL
Advertising and website costs are very substsntially up at £18.127 compared with just £1.881 in
2022123. The cu￿ent year's charges indude a major website review and upgrade costing
£15.120 together with a significant increase in local networking and promotional activities by
some staff. designed to increase our presence and effectiveness within the local community.
Other areas showing increases over the previous year are therapy costs of £11,467 (2023:
£5.492) where the increase reflects a higher level of activity on arranging drug tests and reports"
other fees of £14,250 (2023.. £5,280) where the increase reflects the use of more self-employed
staff for certain specialised activities and to release employed stsff for other essential duties.
and miscellaneous client expenses of £12,713 (2023: £3,210) where Ihe increase ￿flects the
additional hardship and support payments made to clients within the year, funded by additional
grants received by the Charity for that purpose.
RESERVES AND FUTURE FUNDING
The Trustees, policy is for the Charity lo aim for a level of un￿Stricted reseryes sufficient to
cover nomal operating expenses for at least 6 months at any one lime. Unrestricted reserves
(including designated funds of £125.000) at the end of March 2024 amounted to £334,611 which
represents approximately 9 months of projected operating costs going forward. The equivalent
cover at 31 March 2023 was 9 months.

ICENI IPSWICH
In common with other similar charities. I￿ni is dependent upon external support in the fomi of
grants, donations and fundraising, alongside longer-term agreements. to be able to meet its
ongoing costs and continue operating at an acceptable and viable level. We have secured
another year of Venta programme funding (£153,089 for 2024125) and we wll be continuing our
involvement in Suffolk's Integrated Drug and Acohol Services work after the end of March 2024.
following a successful outcome of a recent tender process. The agreed funding for 2024125 is
£165,000, with inflationary increases built into future yearfs budgets. Grants under the existing
agreement with the National Lottery Fund has one further year to run after the end of March
2024, and will provide a further £80,000 in 2024125. We are hopeful that our upgraded website.
together with an intentional increase in local nefvrforking activities, should result not only in a
greater appreciation of what Iceni can offer. but also in an increase in local support for the
Charity. Financial projections drawn up for 2024125 show an increased level of income and
indicate that the Charity will have sufficient reSoUr￿S to be able to meet its liabilities and to
continue operating at its current level for the foreseeable future, and at least for the next 12
months from the date of this report. and accordingly the Trustees continue to adopt the going
concern basis of accounting when preparing these financial statements.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Our five strategic goals and priorities
Since its in￿ptiOn. Iceni has established itself as a reputable, SUC￿ssful and cost-effective
provider of serVI￿S and has gained an eX￿lIent reputation by its innovative approach.
However, as a small local charity Ihat often seeks to 'punch above its weight, to achieve
organisational goals we have been. and are likely to be. affected by changes in the economy
and changes to local contractual approaches. It is an important time for Iceni. as donations are
falling, and public funding is likely to be further reduced. We recognised that if we are to not only
survive but thrive then the building blocks need to be in place to make Iceni a well-govemed,
strong and sustainable organisation. Over the past year, with the support and valued input from
'Pilotlight'
ht.0
.uk) we worked through the strategic challenges we faced. The
experience of the Pilotlight mentors helped us improve crucial aspects of the organisation that
are likely to have a lasting impact. Specifically. with the support of Pilotlight we identified five
areas where we believe we need to improve on if our ambrtions over the coming years are to be
realised. These five areas fonned our strategic plan and induded the following goals:
Right organisation. right capability, right design, robust - We reflect and deliver our
mission and aims. having the right people. adopting effective financial and governance
processes" know the difference we make and keep it in sight through all organisational
transitions.
More diverse but coherent portfolio & associated income stream
We Identify
opportunities for new revenue streams and develop a good understanding of our external
environment: develop and review a new fundraising strategy.
Raise Profile in Suffolk and beyond - We develop an effective communication strategy -
make social media work better for us - maintain & develop links with local and national media
and translate increase in traffic to funding opportunities.

ICENI IPSWICH
Co-production It has become a truism to say that charities Should collaborate, and it is
rtainly clear that there are pressures to do so. A vast number of organisations often doing
sirnilar work. dwindling sources of unrestricted fvnding. and the opening up of delivery contracts
that many charities like Iceni will struggle to win on their ovm. all contribute to these pressures.
We want to strongly encourage relationships that build on or create new partnerships across
different sectors and cultivate strong working relationships between organisations to mutually
support the people we work with. We will embra￿ our c￿prOduCtion ethos in extemal
partnerships as well as wtth our beneficiaries so that respect pervades the experience of being
recipients of our care. Identify shared-values partners for 'core to mission, services.
be clear
about the roles and responsibilities of each charity. We intend to explore healthy partnerships
which are the most effective way of using our reSoUr￿S to further our charitable purposes where
we can c(hcreate and maintain our independen￿.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Chaiity. you are responsible for the preparation of the financial

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required
in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving
their opinion on the financial ststements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the
Simited assurance that an independent examinalion can provide. Consequently l express no
opinion as to whether the financial statements present a 'true and fairf view and my report is
limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner's statement.

Wales.
