Objectives and activities
The charity's objects
To provide for the relief of persons, and their dependents who have been physically, sexually, psychologically/emotionally and financially abused within an intimate or family relationship in Wakefield. To provide training and advance public education and understanding of the issues of domestic violence in Wakefield. To introduce and engage in services which promote healthy relationships.
The charity's main activities
The organisation is unique in the field of behaviour management. It exists to improve the lives of family members in destructive relationships by giving individuals’ safety and freedom from fear and domestic abuse. We work with adults, children and family units who have aggressive or conforming behaviours and those who identify early negative behaviour traits and who want preventative action. From our Wakefield family centre we offer support and a safe environment, to enable them to achieve a more positive future. This will be through group work and individual one to one and family sessions. We raise awareness of negative behaviour and the effect it has on relationships within and outside of the family group.
Public benefit statement
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular raising awareness of Domestic abuse and its effects on families and children.
Achievements and performance
Out of the 202 adults who have engaged, this has impacted on 277 children in the families for positive changes in the children’s lives. This also includes if the children are removed from the home as it may be the best option if no changes have been made by the parents.
Work Delivered by Rosalie Ryrie Foundation
Our workbook, “Charlie”, was developed with clients input and demonstrates the impact that life events such as abuse, drugs, alcohol and divorce can have on their emotional tank and how this can affect behaviour. “Charlie” helps clients to open up about their personal life events and understand the impact on adult behaviour.
We have also devised other resources to work with children, specific to their experience around domestic abuse. This includes developing safety plans with the children.
All our work on behaviours is delivered to both victims, perpetrators and their children so all the family are educated in what abusive behaviours are and managing their emotions and behaviours.
Initially we have an individual session which includes:
-
Referral form – includes up to 3 generations of family behaviours
-
What is domestic abuse - break down of behaviours
-
Impact of negative behaviours on children
Followed by:
Group work with adult victims of domestic abuse
Group work with adults who display aggressive and conforming behaviours
Couples: 12 weeks of separate group, and then we will see them as a couple if safe to do so Children and young people who have witnessed and or experienced domestic abuse and may display abusive and/or conforming behaviours within families
We have offered rolling programs for 14 years for group sessions which were previously up to 20 individuals per session, this changed during Covid to reduce the risk, these sessions are gender separated.
The children and family work can be with the child and parent, depending on the child’s age and individual sessions will be offered.
We have no time limit on individuals; however we recommend a minimum of 26 sessions.

Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2021
Financial review
The net income for the year was £25,011, including net income of £15,269 on unrestricted funds and net income of £9,742 on restricted funds after transfers.
Covid 19 changed the way we work, smaller groups and PPE to meet risk assessment. More groups put in place and no individuals to allow for more groups. Staff working split shifts to cover more groups.
Covid 19 although detrimental to the country, due to rising domestic abuse situations due to Covid 19, the foundation is now classed as an essential service to Wakefield Council and has been identified as an essential part for not only their Covid 19 response but also their Domestic Abuse strategy.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity's ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Reserves policy
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £22,179.
The trustees aim to maintain sufficient reserve funds to cover 3 months essential operating expenditure.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. 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;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 13.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the charitable 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 charitable 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 ('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
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
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.
