INTRODUCTION FROM THE CHAIR

Our life as a charity is similar in many ways to family life. A year can feel like a roller coaster – with crests and dips, wide-eyed peaks followed by water-soaking troughs. Recent history has led us all through circumstances which no one foresaw, including challenges and sadness for our family lives and across wider society. But every new day can bring life and hope, God’s love is new every mornin ~~g~~[[1]] .

We exist for clients who so often are reaching out at a time of deep need. Life’s roller coaster has brought them to circumstances which can be life-shaking, or complicated and emotional. No prepared speech or political position could possibly help. So, we provide a safe and confidential time to talk and explore whichever pregnancy crisis they face.

Regardless of the challenges which faced society in 2021, we slowly saw increasing numbers of clients contacting us. As open society emerged again, so did the quiet calls for help increase and the demand for our one-to-one services. We also restarted our in person appointments, and also our services for the NHS.

It wasn’t possible to support our local schools in person early in the year, so we continued to produce materials for schools to use themselves. Later in the year, we could then restart our school work and we reached over 1,400 pupils in a short time.

Our new centre director, Fay Hamilton, and her dedicated staff team have performed wonderfully in conditions which no one could have foresee. Throughout this time, our generous volunteers stood with us in this work and, together, we will continue to ask God for his inspiration and guidance as we go forward. We have no other aim than to respond to God’s love for us by responding to those who reach out for help.

Thank you to everyone who has been involved with us in 2021 – supporters, donors, volunteers, staff and even clients who returned to give their helpful feedback.

If you are touched by any part of our work, I would encourage you to consider becoming involved with us in some way, perhaps as a volunteer, donor, fund-raiser, trustee, or even an enthusiastic supporter. You will find it more rewarding than you might expect.

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, thank you.

BRIEF HISTORY

SEEN, formerly The Crossway Pregnancy Crisis Centre was established in 1999, becoming a charity in 2005 and then a limited company in 2012. Becoming a limited company required that the charity register again with the Charities Commission of England and Wales, using its new name Crossway Pregnancy Crisis Centre Ltd . This limited company was registered as a new charity on 17[th] September 2012.

The Centre was founded in 1999 by a group of Christians in the Twickenham area who wanted to provide a different response to the polarised pro-life or pro-choice debate. Its creation was the practical expression of the desire to offer unconditional and non-directive support to people with unplanned pregnancies.

It is of central importance that this is a non-campaigning organisation, that it has no political position, and that it only seeks to offer unbiased help, counselling and education services.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to increase the number of people we are able to reach, with ever-more effective materials and services, making it easier for people to find us and contact us.

We exist only to provide help and support, free of charge, to those experiencing any kind of pregnancy crisis, and to help young people and adults build healthy, personal relationships.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to meet our aims by providing the following:

A pregnancy crisis may be a pregnancy loss, foetal abnormality, pre or post abortion circumstances, or any other pregnancy-related struggle.

Women and men can suffer from deep emotional pain and stress during a pregnancy crisis, or even depression and grief long after a crisis event. In any of these circumstances, we provide a confidential service to help them resolve what can be complex and multi-layered thoughts and emotions and find a peaceful resolution.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 6

We have provided as many free and confidential support sessions each person or couple needs and wants for a crisis pregnancy.

We have provided 10-step courses, called ‘Step by Step’ and ‘Purple Door’, for anyone struggling after pregnancy loss including abortion, miscarriage or still birth.

We have created a befriending support service to anyone who is continuing with a pregnancy in difficult circumstances.

We have provided a free pregnancy testing service.

We have taught young people in local primary and secondary schools, and teenagers in youth clubs, about puberty, sex, relationships, unplanned pregnancy choices, and resilience.

We have provided the ‘I Am’ relationships course to women in prison.

Activity Statistics

We can summarise our activities in 2021 with the follow statistics.

• 126 clients contacted our listening service for one-to-one support

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 7

Since the Centre opened, we have supported 2,686 clients and provided education sessions to over 13,144 young people through our schools service.

Achievements

FEEDBACK

With full permission, we include here some of the encouraging feedback received from those people receiving our services, whether as clients of our personal listening and counselling services, or from our work in schools and prison.

From clients experiencing pregnancy crisis

“A big thanks…for balanced impartial advice and as much time and support as I needed to make what seemed like an impossible decision.”

“Amazing listener. She has helped and supported me through just one session. Amazing clinic full of wonderful people.”

“Very professional service. Made me feel at ease and supported.”

“I feel myself and my daughter were fully supported – given all the information needed. We were heard and not judged.”

“This session helped me very much with my choices especially with the tools she used.”

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 8

From clients experiencing pregnancy loss

“I didn’t think I needed the support, then when I started speaking to my listener, I realised how important it was to talk about the loss, and feelings related to pregnancy loss.”

“SEEN helped me after my second miscarriage - it was such a hard time for me and I really really appreciated the space to talk about what I'd been through and how I was feeling. My second much wanted baby is now nearly one so this donation is in her honour.”

“I would recommend SEEN to everyone or anyone who needs support around any loss. It gave me insight into why I felt how I did, helped me around my thought process and why it was so negative. After every session they became less and less negative.”

“I would recommend SEEN it is safe place without judgment to deal with your loss/ losses in a professional way.”

“The support I received was really instrumental for me, I really needed help and this course has been excellent fit for me. If we were not able to cover everything in one session, we were able to extend the number of sessions we had. I think this flexibility helped me not worry if we would cover everything in time at a time when I really needed support. My listener was really very good and helped me feel at ease to talk about everything. It's very hard to explain how this course helped me, it helped me move through my processes of grief and anger. I hope that you can continue to offer support to those who need it, it's an excellent charity and service.”

“I felt that my issues were not just listened to, but heard, I felt safe expressing myself as my listener was very receptive, conscious and mindful of my emotional state and made me feel I could speak freely without holding back.”

“I cannot recommend SEEN enough, their support has been paramount to helping me get through this difficult time, for so many reasons. That sense of routine coming every week at the same time provided some structure where it was a safe space for me to offload discuss my feelings and then close that chapter for the week. Before coming to SEEN I didn’t want to constantly be talking about my loss to my partner or family but I also felt I had feelings that needed to be discussed, so by using the hour every week to address those feelings I then felt I didn’t need to talk about it the rest of the week so I could enjoy all the positives in my life. I also really liked how my listener was somebody totally separate to my life. Before coming to SEEN I would turn to my mum when upset, but she didn’t really know how to respond or what to say whereas I felt that my listener always knew the right thing to say. In this sense it helped my relationships because I would no longer need to talk about my loss to friends and families, I could enjoy time with them as my feelings had been addressed with my listener. The programme also enabled me to look back at how far I’ve come and feel proud of how I’ve dealt with things, something that I wouldn’t have done by myself without the help of my listener. To anybody who is considering getting in contact with the SEEN team, I really would say do it now! You really will feel supported.”

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 9

From young people experiencing our schools work

"I now know that sex needs consent from both adults.”

“I have learnt how STI’s can be transmitted and avoided.”

“I have learnt ideas on how to how to have safer sex and how incredibly important it is to give consent.”

“Although condoms are effective, they are not 100% as you can still get other STI’s eg. genital warts.”

“I have learnt what other signs there are for a healthy and unhealthy relationship is like.”

“ I have learnt the difference between love, lust and romance.”

“I enjoyed learning about how to have a solid/steady relationship.”

FUTURE PLANS

Looking forward to 2022, we want to expand and become more connected to:

The Centre Director, Fay Hamilton, who leads this work is committed to pursuing these aims in 2022. These aims have been agreed as follows.

  1. Further outreach work for clients and young people – by raising awareness of our services through setting up SEEN network hubs in community centres and via universities, colleges and local organisations (e.g. GP surgeries, health professionals), increasing our presence on social media.

  2. To complete upgrade and improve our use of technology – including launching our instant messaging ‘chat’, new database, and digitising systems at the Centre.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 10

  1. To expand our counselling team and the listening programme – recruit and train a second trainee counsellor to support our lead counsellor with the increasing demand of clients and expansion of volunteer listeners. Add extra steps to

  2. Expand education work - establish SEEN as a ‘go-to organisation for providing RSE lessons’ in local schools and for youth groups in community centres. Initiate connections with LVA and other sources.

OUR FINANCES

Our income for 2021 was £85,530, compared to £105,792 in 2020. We believe the fall in income is due to several factors including the reduction in Covid-19 grants that were available in 2021. We recorded a net deficit of £8,784.

Income from fund-raising events was reduced due to the restrictions of Covid-19, along with regular standing orders too. Our first fundraising event didn’t take place until November 2021. In addition, our income from schools work was lower than usual.

Our expenditure has increased by 9% due to the new website and more IT costs due to our digitalisation movement.

We are grateful to the following trusts and local organisations for grants and donations made to the Centre during 2021:

▪ Assura Community Fund ▪ Barnes Fund ▪ Hampton Fund

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 11

We continue to be grateful to St Stephen’s Church as well for free office, counselling room facilities and use of other rooms for meetings and events, and opportunity to promote the charity through services and newsletters.

We want to thank the many individuals who support us in so many ways; one off donations; regular giving (which helps us plan financially); attending our events; and taking part in sponsored events. We can only achieve what we do with the support of many individuals and organisations.

“In Britain 45% of pregnancies and ⅓ of births are unplanned. Unplanned pregnancies can have negative impacts on the physical and mental wellbeing of both mother and child. This is especially harmful since children’s mind and body are affected by what happens during pregnancy and early childhood, with effects that can last all through life.”

“The prison population has risen by 70% in the last 30 years—and it is currently projected to rise by a further 18,000 people by 2026.”

Prison Reform Trust – Summer 2022

“Children and young people who watch porn or sexually explicit content are at greater risk of developing unrealistic attitudes about sex and consent, more negative attitudes about roles and identities in relationships, more casual attitudes about sex and sexual relationships and an increase in ‘risky’ sexual behaviour, unrealistic expectations of body image and performance.” (NSPCC)

“A survey of young people found that half rated the sex education they received as poor or terrible” (Shh...No Talking,Terrence Higgins Trust 2016.)

“Rates of probable mental disorders have increased since 2017. In 2020, one in six (16.0%) children aged 5 to 16 years were identified as having a probable mental disorder, increasing from one in nine (10.8%) in 2017”.

(NHS (2020) Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2020)

Reserves and Financial Health

The trustees have established a policy whereby sufficient unrestricted funds must be held in reserve to cover operational costs for at least three months. At this level, the Centre should be able to honour all commitments in the event of a significant drop in funding.

We are constantly working to improve our funding stream and to make the most of every pound donated to the charity.

OUR OBJECTS, APPROACH AND BENEFITS

The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what the charity should undertake.

Objects

The objects of the charity, as set out in our Memorandum and Articles of association, are these:

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 13

We seek to reach these objectives by delivering sex and relationship education to young people in schools and youth clubs, and to women in prison, and by providing support and information to clients experiencing pregnancy crisis and loss.

Unplanned pregnancy, abortion and miscarriage are common experiences which can be hard to cope with alone and can be a mental health risk without appropriate support. Also, young people now have the challenge of having to navigate social media at the same time as sex and relationships.

Through our work, we seek to benefit individuals by achieving the following:

Approach

The focus of our strategy is to increase the number of personal clients that we reach, and the continued improvement of our education and prison services, in addition to the development and welfare of our staff and volunteers.

In taking forward our strategy we:

Benefits to wider society

We continue to find that clients, staff and the public at large are surprised to find out how prevalent it is for women and families to experience a pregnancy crisis. Similarly, the pain or trauma of any of these crises can be experienced regardless of age, gender, social background or any other distinguishing category.

We also note that our experience reflects the research and opinions of other bodies looking into these areas.

“1 in 4 pregnancies end in pregnancy loss, and 29% of women who suffer a miscarriage showing symptoms of PTSD a month later”

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 15

CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC IMPACT

The most significant impact was a fall in the numbers of people we were able to help.

The other major impact was that planned fundraising activities had to be put on hold so that we were not able to raise income in this way as planned. The Trustees worked very closely with staff to monitor the situation closely reducing costs, including moving out of our ETNA centre office and bringing our finance service in house. We instead raising funds from sponsored events and grants.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The trustees, who are also the directors of the limited company, are responsible for the overall management and control of the Crossway Pregnancy Crisis Centre and meet formally six times a year. Further meetings of the trustees and the Centre Director are often arranged as needed to respond to particular matters, or at the request of the Centre Director.

Where each of the trustees has assumed a particular responsibility, for example, for fund-raising, the full confidence of the board of trustees is delegated to that trustee to make strategic decisions as needed and then report back to the Board after the fact. This is essential if we are to make progress in the development of our services and meeting our obligations.

The work of implementing all of the Board’s decisions and policies is given to the Centre Director, who is a non-executive director.

Some of our trustees also volunteer their time to support the delivery of our services or our daily operations. In this capacity, the trustees fully coordinate their contribution with the Centre Director to ensure good communication and the best use of their endeavours.

All trustees give of their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. No trustee, or person connected with a trustee, received any benefit from the charity or from any third party on behalf of the charity.

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 16

Organisational Management

The Trustees determine the general policy of the Centre. The day to day running of the Centre is delegated to the Centre Director, supported by the staff. The Centre Director performs the primary management role in leading day-to-day operations, overseeing the delivery of our services, managing staff and reporting to the Board of Trustees.

The Centre Director also supports the work of the trustees by providing information and reports, and handling all general administrative duties either personally or by delegating to an appropriate member of staff.

As appropriate for an organisation of our size, our staff work part time, in shifts that overlap with the Centre Director as agreed.

Risk Management

The Centre has considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and established procedures to manage those risks.

We have a risk policy and a plan of action to deal with any potential risks prioritising those that are likely and would have high impact.

The main risks that the Governors have identified and the plans to manage those risks are:

Through the risk management processes established for the Centre, the Trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been carefully mitigated, although all such measures are considered to be

TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT 2021 | PAGE 17

constantly under review. It is recognised that systems can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance that major risks have been adequately managed.

Trustee Recruitment and Training

The Centre requires breadth and depth of experience to carry out its duties effectively and efficiently. When recruiting new trustees, it is important they can attest to our statement of faith as well as bring a core skill to the team.

Applications to become a trustee are openly invited from the local community, local churches of any denomination, and anyone who can align their aims and purposes with ours. We welcome applications from people of different cultures, backgrounds and age ranges and we maintain a non-discrimination policy for trustee appointments, and throughout the charity.

Where possible we aim to have a Board of Trustees which includes the following:

One trustee may have one or more of these skills.

CHARITY TRUSTEES AND COMPANY DIRECTORS

The charity trustees of SEEN Ltd are also directors of the limited company, registered with Companies House. They have dual obligations, although there is no conflict between the two.

Trustees are unpaid and required to oversee the activities of charity to ensure that it is acting prudently and according to its purposes as registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales[1] .

Directors are required to manage the company in accordance with Government rules, as published by Companies House[2] , to ensure its success, and act with skill, diligence and integrity.

The trustees and directors who served during the year were as follows.

SEEN LTD (FORMERLY CROSSWAY PREGNANCY CRISIS CENTRE LTD) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

i. The charity becomes entitled to the income; ii. The trustees are virtually certain they will receive the income; and iii. The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grants and donations are only included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the income.

1.6 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

Computers

Fully depreciated

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1 Accounting policies (Continued)

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.11 Taxation and VAT

The Centre is a registered charity and is not liable to income or corporation taxation.

The Centre is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure included VAT incurred where appropriate.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
