## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year from 1 April 2022 to 31st March 2023.
**The primary objects of the Charity** , as set out in its governing document are:
1. to relieve the mental and physical sickness of persons resident in Herefordshire suffering from bereavement or loss by the provision of counselling and support for such persons.
2. to act as a resource for young people up to the age of 25 living in Herefordshire by providing advice and assistance and organising programmes of physical, educational and other activities as a means of:
a) advancing them in life and helping young people by developing their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as independent, mature and responsible individuals.
b) the provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interests of social welfare designed to improve their condition of life.
3. to advance the education of the public in the subject of grief and bereavement studies.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. The trustees regularly review the charity's activities to ensure that all activities are in line with the charitable objects of the organisation.
## **Vision:**
All Herefordshire children and their families who experience the death of someone close to them can access support that increases their resilience, reduces their isolation and brings them hope for the future.
## **Mission:**
We support Herefordshire children and young people between the ages of 5 and 21 (25 for vulnerable adults), who experience the death of someone close to them. We enable families, carers, volunteers and professionals to provide support for bereaved children. We advocate in the best interests of bereaved children, young people and their families.
## **Outcomes:**
Children, young people and families receive the support they need through a variety of therapeutic group, family and individual interventions. We aim to reduce the isolation of grief through our social activities and youth groups to rebuild confidence and widen their social network of support. We build confidence their capacity to cope in bereavement and strengths and resilience longer term.
Awareness of grief, bereavement and the needs of bereaved children, young people and families is raised via our presence on social media, leaflets, display boards and attendance at events and in the provision of training.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **Introduction**
We are a specialist Herefordshire service for children, young people (aged 5-21) and their families when someone close dies. We are unique in the county in offering our support in any circumstances or by any cause including sudden deaths by suicide, murder, road traffic or other accident or as a result of long-term illness or lifelimiting conditions (anticipated death).
We celebrated our 10th anniversary this year and calculated that in total we have received referrals for over 540 families & individuals reaching out to over 700 children and young people.
## **Referrals**
Demand for support remained higher this year than was usual pre-pandemic. We received 68 referrals for 93 children and young people with an almost equal split between primary and secondary aged children. 62% of referrals were received following a sudden and unexpected death, short-term illness or accident. The most frequent cause of anticipated death was cancer, the most frequent sudden death was by suicide.
Half of all referrals related to the death of a mother, father or both parents. The next most frequent referral was for the death of a grandparent and the remainder for other close family, including siblings and cousins. Almost half of referrals were received within the first 6 months, many within the first few weeks. At this time we can offer emotional support and advice, often about how to explain death to children and what to expect. We have noticed an increase in the number of referrals received more than 3 years following a death, that we believe may be a result of grief disrupted or delayed by the pandemic lockdowns whether or not the death was by Covid.
Half of all referrals were received from education professionals – teachers, heads and deputy heads, SENDCo and welfare - that we hope reflects increased recognition of the need for pupil wellbeing support. 30% were from other specialist provision, including social care, GPs and mental health services.
## **Service Delivery**
The death of Queen Elizabeth II this year brought grief and bereavement into a very public gaze and we used our social media presence to raise awareness of coping strategies and grief support for all in need.
We were delighted to have been offered a week away, hosted by the Landmark Trust in one of their very special properties. Here we reviewed, discussed and planned future service provision with representatives of our service users and Youth Ambassadors. We came away reassured, refreshed and brimming with hope for the future of our service built with their guidance.
## **Family Support**
Our family sessions focus on supporting family members to communicate effectively and support each other. In a series of three sessions we help to bolster points of connection and identify difficulties, to reduce the possibility of escalation into problems. We introduce and share coping strategies based on the family and individual strengths. These sessions were offered to 43 families this year.
Follow-on activities between sessions were provided for 50 children of primary school age. Guided by the caseworker, parent/carers developed confidence in their own capacity to support their children by using these tools as important starting points for conversation and connection.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **Socials**
Our family social events offered opportunities for families to meet and share their experiences, reducing isolation and providing time for connection with others who understand. We offered activities that provide time for reflection, such as gardening in our Memory Garden, and for fun times including craft and other activities. Families and individuals joined us for our annual Lantern Walk of remembrance and the children were treated to a visit and gift from Father Christmas.
## **Youth Group & Youth Ambassadors**
Our Youth Groups offer a chance for young people to meet peers outside their usual social circle to extend their network of support. We offer a mix of therapeutic support, coping strategies around specific events, and a chance to have fun with others who understand. Our activity weekend in June this year was again organised with Dynamis Adventures and the group, leaders and Youth Ambassadors went gorge walking, that involved more climbing than walking – up waterfalls and through dark caves. They all challenged themselves to complete this, supporting each other through the really tough moments and they loved it. Our Youth Ambassadors stay in touch and join us from wherever they are for these big events. Rose, who has progressed from service user to Youth Ambassador left this year to begin a career as a Young Adventure Leader. Rubi is a Paediatric Nurse and Danny works locally in mental health support. Each has taken their lived experience and turned it to positive support for others, both with us and in their day jobs. New Ambassadors are now in training.
We were rocked and immensely saddened by the death of the founder of Dynamis Adventures, Andrew “Wilky” Wilkinson, who died in a climbing accident in September 2022 aged just 45. He was an inspiration to all of us, young service users and our staff and volunteers, using his unique set of skills to encourage a love of the outdoors and of life and he is missed by us all.
## **Small Group Sessions**
Our small group sessions offer young people therapeutic support, again with peers, learning about grief and developing coping strategies. 16 young people attended these, held in a weekly series across the three school terms.
## **One to One Support**
We provided 1:1 support for 17 young adults and others when appropriate; for example, following a suicide or murder, when there is no parental involvement (Looked After Children) or when communication or learning disability makes group activity more difficult for the child. This may also be appropriate when there may be complex needs and additional anxieties and we receive referrals from CAMHS when bereavement is identified as a key factor in mental health difficulties.
## **Staff and Service management**
Everyone involved with Phoenix Bereavement has experienced close family bereavement. Our team’s professional skills, together with this lived experience, guides development of the service. Strategic leadership, policy, research and legislation guidance, and safeguarding lead are all tasks carried out on a purely voluntary basis by our Chair and Trustees. Other skills of budget management, programme management and delivery, and social media support running of the service on a daily basis.
Our support service was provided by one part-time staff member, sessional professionals and a team of volunteers, Youth Ambassadors and supporters. Tasks including fundraising, social media and service management are carried out on a voluntary basis by this team and the Trustees. Everyone involved with Phoenix Bereavement has experienced close family bereavement and uses their understanding and compassion to provide care to others.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT**
## **Governance**
Our salaried staff member is the designated Safeguarding Lead and our Safeguarding Children & Vulnerable Adults Policy is regularly reviewed and updated as necessary, in line with current national and local guidance. We have a named Trustee with responsibility for Safeguarding who is also the designated ICO officer. Staff, Trustees, sessional workers and volunteers hold Enhanced DBS and these are renewed every three years. The staff is line managed by the Chair of Trustees.
Access to national research and developments in bereavement care through our membership of the Childhood Bereavement Network guides our work with families, children and young people and review of our service provision is ongoing. As members of HVOSS (Herefordshire voluntary organisations support service) we maintain links with local statutory and voluntary service providers and keep up to date with local third sector news, events and opportunities to raise the profile and awareness of our support.
## **Funding**
Please see the accounts for detailed evidence of income and expenditure during this period.
## **Trusts and Grants**
Our service activities have been funded this year by BBC Children in Need for families and younger children, National Lottery Awards for All for teenagers, and by The Postcode Trust and Foyle Foundation. We are grateful for support from local Herefordshire grant-making bodies including the Herefordshire Community Foundation and the E F Bulmer Trust.
## **Community support and engagement**
Our supporters have climbed mountains, run marathons and attended less physically demanding pub quizzes; Tracie, Evie & Scrap scaled Pen-y-Fan in October 2022, The Beer in Hand holds regular Quiz Nights and Phoebe, one of our Youth Ambassadors ran in the Cheltenham Half Marathon.
A grant from Daniel’s Gift and support from listeners to Sunshine Radio have enabled us to offer practical coping activities and toys, providing comfort to the children and young people we support. Local supermarkets – Tesco, Sainsburys and the Coop - have given food and goodies for socials, snack packs and Easter Eggs to give to all our children.
We are especially grateful to the many families who have donated funds in memory of loved ones for thinking of us and the ongoing support for others whilst grieving themselves.
## **Fundraising**
We were supported in a variety of ways this year including a fun Casino in August held in memory of a young man who would have celebrated his 30th birthday this year. The raffle prizes were donated by local businesses and individuals and the event was a sell-out success raising £7000. We acknowledged his Mum’s fantastic fundraising efforts with a special presentation from the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Herefordshire at our 10th birthday as she and his family have raised over £25k in total, as the Greg Thomas Memorial Fund, to support our work.
We appreciate the ongoing support of the Herefordshire businesses, community groups and individuals who have helped us in any way and pass on the thanks of those we support.

## **Phoenix Bereavement Support Services**
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Phoenic Bereavement Support Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- 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 adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.

## **Independent examiners report to The Trustees of Phoenix bereavement support services**
Registered Charity Number :- 07883124
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 11 to 19.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of
- Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Phoenix Bereavement Support Services**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **1 Charity Status**
The charity is a charity limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.
## **2 Accounting polices**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
Phoenix Bereavement Support Services meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement**
The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements.
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably.
## **Donations and legacies**
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
## **Grants receivable**
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Page 13
## **Phoenix Bereavement Support Services**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Deferred income**
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional
- - entitlement.
## **Gifts in kind**
Gifts in kind are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity:
(i) Those donated for resale produce income when they are sold. They are valued at the amount actually realised.
(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (iii) Those donated for use by the charity itself are included when receivable. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
## **Expenditure**
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
## **Raising funds**
These are costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, the management of investments and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
## **Charitable activities**
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of anindirect nature necessary to support them.
## **Support costs**
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
## **Governance costs**
These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’smeetings and reimbursed expenses.
Page 14
## **Phoenix Bereavement Support Services**
## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2023**
## **Taxation**
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £100.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
## **Depreciation and amortisation**
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Borrowings**
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of FinancialActivities over the period of the relevant borrowing. Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the charity has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
