Trauma Foundation South West 

For the year ended 29 February 2024 

## **Report for the trustees** 

Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective from January 2019) 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charitable objectives of Trauma Foundation South West (TFSW) are two-fold and as follows: 

- 1) The relief of mental distress in those who have suffered psychological trauma through experiences such as witnessing traumatic events and loss of family and community, as a result of oppression, armed conflict, and torture, and in particular though not exclusively to meet such needs among asylum seekers and refugees through the provision of counselling and psychotherapy, to be carried out individually and in groups in the south-west of England. 

- 2) The education of the public, to improve their understanding of the mental distress suffered by asylum seekers, refugees and others who have experienced oppression or armed conflict; and to advance the education of counsellors, psychotherapists and other helping professionals working with similar client groups, in order to improve their skills and practice, and advance and improve their supervision. 

In order to meet these objectives, we: 

- Provide free counselling and psychotherapy for refugees, asylum seekers, and trafficked people, including individual sessions long-term, art therapy and group work; 

- Provide supervision and support for staff of other agencies who work with refugees and asylum seekers; 

- Provide training to other agencies on vicarious trauma, self-care, working effectively with interpreters, trauma-informed line management, and working with suicidality; 

- Fundraise to ensure that we can meet these objectives, particularly for our free counselling and psychotherapy as our other work raises funds. 

## **The public benefit by our provision of psychotherapy, counselling, supervision and training** 

During the year, we set up referral agreements for our free psychotherapy and counselling service with key Bristol refugee agencies: the Hope Service, NHS Talking Therapies, Bristol Refugee Rights, Borderlands, Womankind, Unseen, ABC, Brigstowe, The Haven, Refugee Women of Bristol, BHN, SARI and the British Red Cross- Bristol Refugee Service.  When these agencies refer clients to us, we assess them, and if they seem to be someone who can benefit from our work, they are either seen immediately or put on a waiting list. We have 14 psychotherapists and counsellors who carry out this work by seeing three clients per week. 

We also work with most of the agencies who work with asylum seekers and refugees in Bristol and across the southwest by providing supervision and training for their work. The work is often stressful as it is with highly traumatised and distressed individuals who often feel hopeless about their lives. Our work helps them not to ‘burn out’ or suffer from vicarious trauma. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Our work has helped to sustain 52 clients during the year. Our clients are highly traumatised in their country of origin, having often been tortured, imprisoned and/or been threatened with being killed. They also have often witnessed the torture, imprisonment or death of family members. Their experiences on the journey to the UK and through interrogations by the Home Office have often been re-traumatising.  In the light of this, we need to be able to ‘stay with’ people who have lost

hope and suffer from post-traumatic stress symptoms such as flash backs, nightmares, anxiety, and hypervigilance. 

During the pandemic, we started working with clients online and by phone. In 2023-2024, most therapists worked in-person, but some continued with remote sessions, which support clients who are unable to meet in-person. 

During the year, we changed our therapy offer from open-ended to time limited, although it is still very generous: the first year we provide weekly therapy sessions, the second year fortnightly or ad hoc, and after this, through a monthly group. We starting gathering regular feedback from clients about their experience with TFSW with therapists asking brief questions woven into the therapy session at the beginning, every 6-12 weeks and at the end of therapy. 

We again increased our work with agencies this year as a response to increased demand and as part of our business plan. We provided regular supervision to 195 staff members from 20 ag4encies through one-to-one and group sessions to help them continue with this challenging work. We trained more than 377 people working and volunteering with services who support refugees. Training included Vicarious Trauma and Resilience, Essential Self-care for Helpers, Traumainformed Line Management, Trauma-informed Trustee Boards, and Working Effectively with Interpreters.  In addition to bespoke training, we set up an online rolling programme of monthly training that individuals can book onto through our website. 

We recruited a maternity cover replacement for our administrator and four new counsellors and psychotherapists (all from diverse backgrounds) in this period. 

Our expert organisational development trustee, Erin Caseley, led us through a comprehensive organisational strategy process from September 2023 to March 2024. Erin gave more than 50 hours pro bono in facilitating this process, which at her reduced charity rate of £550 + VAT per day represented an in-kind contribution of £4,000.  We have developed a one-year transition plan for the strategy to help us prepare, fundraise and plan for expanding our services, which are in great demand. 

## **Financial Review** 

In the fiscal year 2023-2024, TFSW generated funds totalling £155,822 and expended £114,743. 

Our funding sources primarily include trusts, foundations, regular givers and gift aid.  The Equator Fund has been our primary support for the past decade and we are very grateful to them. We extend our gratitude to Quartet’s Resilience Fund for their generous grant of £10,000; the Practice Rooms for £6,000 (£500 per month); Lady Balogh Psychotherapy Trust for £2,000; Marsh Charitable Trust for £700; the Oakdale Trust for £1,000; and St James Place for £2,500. 

The remaining donated income stemmed from individual donors and sales of merchandise. 

Our expenditure relating to raising funds was only £3,500 this year, representing only 2.2% of overall income raised. Our income from charitable activities (supervision and training) was £34,692 - a 17% increase on the previous year’s income from supervision and training which was £28,953. This earned income is part of our business plan to increase our sustainability as a small charity. 

All funding has been vital to ensuring we can continue to be here for our clients, and we thank all our donors, supervisees and trainees for supporting us. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees have complied with their duties under the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance by the Charity Commission.

For the year ended 29 February 2024 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The reserves policy is reviewed at least every three years.  The policy in 2023-2024 was to hold financial reserves equivalent to 6 months’ expenditure, which amounts to £57,500. This reserves level was deemed both achievable and to be of a sufficient level to the continuing operation of the charity.  Total unrestricted reserves at 29 February 2024 were £97,951.  This is due to a grant of £80,000 by our main funder, The Equator Fund, who gave both 2022-2023 and 2023-2024’s grants of £40,000 within the same year.  Additionally, we received a grant of £27,000 from an anonymous donor for work to be carried out in 2024-2025. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Trauma Foundation South West is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 20 February 2012 (company number 07956417) and as a registered charity on 16 April 2012 (charity number 1146885). The company was set up under Articles and Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company. 

Trauma Foundation South West is governed by a board of trustees, who also act as the directors of the company. They formally delegate a variety of functions to management to enable the effective day-to-day operation of the company. The board retain oversight and meet quarterly.  Serving trustees at the date of the accounts were signed are listed on page 1. 

## **Statement of responsibilities of the trustees** 

The trustees (who are also directors of the charity for purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102: The financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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 situation of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity 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 Charities SORP 

- Make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable UK accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- Prepare the financial statement on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose to reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.  The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

## **Section C** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **a. Basis of preparation** 

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with: 

- the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland 

- the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 

- and with the Charities Act 2011. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **b. Going concern** 

_The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. The charity holds unrestricted, general reserves of £97,954 including a cash balance of £122,966. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash reserves and confirmed funding to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved._ 

## **c. Change of accounting policy** 

The accounts present a true and fair view and no changes have been made to the accounting policies adopted in note 1.

**Section C Notes to the accounts (cont) Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME Recognition of income** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:  the charity becomes entitled to the resources;  it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources;  the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless **Offsetting** required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income **Grants and donations** recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). 

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). 

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in **Legacies** the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. 

**Government grants** The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. **Tax reclaims on** Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is **donations and gifts** treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. **Contractual income and** This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or **performance related** services or met the performance related conditions. **grants** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be **Donated goods** exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet.  On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from  sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. 

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. 

**Donated services and** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of **facilities** the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. 

**Support costs** 

The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
