## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
Our Charitable Objects remain unchanged and are:
1. To ensure that any former member of Her Majesty's Armed Forces can access specialist advice and information advice and guidance and holistic support to reduce physical, psychological or social harm experienced by individuals as a result of military service and their assimilation back into the civilian community.
2. To promote social inclusion for the public benefit by preventing ex service personnel from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
3. To develop the capacity and skills of former service personnel both socially and economically so that they are able to support themselves and other disadvantaged communities in the UK in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.
4. To promote such other charitable purposes as may from time to time be determined.
## **Mission, Aims and Statements**
Our mission is to assist former service personnel to reintegrate into civilian life following their discharge from the armed forces. We want them to be able to use our services to help build their capacity and skills and assist them (and their families) into employment, becoming effective contributors to their communities.
Our aim is to develop and deliver innovative diversionary activities and services that support and assist veterans during their transition back in to civilian life especially; those who become socially isolated and excluded over time. The range of projects delivered includes both physical and mental activities.
By continuing this approach we ensure that we provide something for everyone, taking into account veterans' capabilities. These activities are under constant review to ensure suitability and value for money.
The range of activities includes physical outdoor pursuits such as cycling, climbing, fishing and other sports through to less physically demanding activities including arts and history projects, debating and cooking, with new projects such as photography, free gym sessions and Pilates being added to the list over the year.
Our services are available to all former military personnel, regardless of age, gender, health condition or time served in the forces. This enables us to provide intergenerational activities linked to local communities in the North East of England.
We aim, where possible, to progress the veterans that we work with from service user to volunteer and eventually to act as mentor to other veterans. This approach assists our service users to develop their skills, contribute to our community and increase their self-belief through personal achievement.

## **Delivering on Our Promise**
Board of Trustees would like to thank the Staff, Volunteers and Service Users of Forward Assist for their hard work and dedication across 2020 -21
The staff team at Forward Assist, led by our Chief Executive Officer Tony Wright, have had an exciting year.
We were delighted to host a visit to the Forward Assist HQ and facilitate a private and confidential consultation session with women accessing the support of Salute Her UK. We are proud to have Sarah as Patron of the charity and look forward to working with her to develop gender specific interventions for both female and male victims/survivors of Military Sexual Trauma.
Forward Assist were invited to give evidence to the US Independent Review Commission (IRC) on Sexual Assault in the Military. As the leading charity in the UK delivering and developing trauma informed interventions for serving personnel and veterans with lived experience of Military Sexual Trauma we were delighted to update the panel on the lack of services for UK victims and survivors.
We were honoured to welcome David Richmond CBE, Independent Veterans Advisor to UK Government Ministers at Cabinet Office to the Forward Assist HQ to talk about our work supporting disenfranchised former serving military personnel and our unique veteran centric interventions designed to empower and reskill those struggling to transition back to civilian life. During the visit we facilitated a virtual consultation session with a group of women veterans from across the UK who access the support of team Salute Her.
The team welcomed a visit from Leo Docherty MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Minister for Defence People and Veterans, to the Forward Assist Health & Wellbeing Hub on June 10th 2021. During the visit he was able to talk with veterans who had served in WW2, The Falklands War and Northern Ireland. He also had a private consultation with Salute Her project lead Paula Edwards and women veterans who had accessed support from the charity over the last 5 years.
Mayor Driscoll had the opportunity to meet a few of the veterans that access the Charity and they talked about how the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns had impacted on their mental health and wellbeing. Like the rest of the UK we are working hard to be 'covid compliant'.
Team Forward Assist & Salute Her were honoured to give evidence at the Defence Sub-Committee on Women in the Armed Forces: From Recruitment to Civilian Life chaired by Sarah Atherton MP. We are delighted to be mentioned as an example of best practice in the area of gender specific support for those traumatised by experiences of sexual assault whilst serving.
Thanks to funding from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, we have collaborated with Charlie Morley to deliver a series of six-week online courses for veterans struggling to cope with the harmful effects that stress and trauma can have on the amount of time we spend asleep. Over 500 veterans attended the virtual course proving that lack of sleep is a huge contributor to mental health difficulties in the veteran population.
Our continued partnership working with Bolt Burden Kemp has been a great success we have been providing a confidential virtual Legal Advice Clinic. The service is free, independent, confidential and has given over 50 Veterans the opportunity to discuss their rights.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021**
Referrals into the Salute Her project has increased by 50% we now have 1988 women registered, the majority of referrals have come to the Charity seeking complex therapy or specialist Information, Advice and Guidance. The service has gone from strength to strength and have developed a host of virtual services including; a virtual 28 Day Mind - Body - Soul Virtual Body Transformation Course, Health Eating sessions, self - harm work shop, emotional wellbeing courses and a British Parliamentary Debate course in partnership with Parallel Histories. Many of the women who access Salute Her have asked that a hybrid model of engagement is used.
Despite restrictions the staff team have worked extremely hard and collected over 100 Christmas presents, food parcels and toiletries which were all distributed to Veterans and their families local to the region. Forward Assist and Salute Her also partnered with 'Suitability NE' to give twelve unemployed, male and female veterans the best chance possible chance of finding work. The twelve lucky veterans will be given a voucher which will enable them to access a free suit, shoes, shirt and tie to improve employment chances next year. The package of support will also include one to one confidence building sessions, a free haircut from veteran owned barbers 'The Mane Man' in Dudley and mock interview training from one of our business partners.
As Trustees we are extremely proud to report that the Charity and its army of volunteers were awarded the Queens Award For Voluntary Service in recognition of their outstanding contribution to the community. Forward Assist actively encourage military veterans to be of service to others when their military service comes to an end. The award is the organisational equivalent of an MBE and everyone connected to the charity couldn't be prouder to receive this prestigious award.

G T Edwards-
Page 5
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FORWARD ASSIST LIMITED**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Forward Assist Limited ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The restricted funds comprise grants received from funders for a specific purpose or project and can be expended only in the way already agreed to by the charity.
The NHS England project had a debit balance at the balance sheet date because the next grant for the project had not been received by the year end.
## **Transfers between funds**
The fund transfers represent the transfer of restricted funds to unrestricted funds where a portion of the grant funding has been used to purchase fixed assets. Other transfers represent the completion of a project with the transfer of the remaining funds to unrestricted.
