## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **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**
This year we have supported. Total of 317 new referrals: Men 179 Women 122 Families 16
This work with parents means this has impacted on 557 children and 14 unborn childrens' home lives and hopefully their wellbeing.
We have managed to continue working through the pandemic by risk assessing our whole service and stream lining to enable the staff to meet the needs and be able to offer families continuing support.
During the Coronavirus pandemic the Foundation continued to see clients after undertaking a risk assessment and putting in place Covid procedures. This saw group sizes reduce from 15/20 per group to 4 clients and 2 staff per group. Staff wear visors and clients wear masks, all seats are 2 meters apart and there is a 30-minute break between groups to allow for bubbling and clean down of all facilities. Only being 4 per group meant initially running fortnightly for existing clients to be able to access the service. Following this the decision was made, after clients were requesting to return to weekly sessions, that opening more groups at different times was the way forward. This meant that the organisation previously had 6 groups: 2 Footsteps4Mums and 3 FootstepsforDads, plus a Mental Health women’s group. The foundation is now running 17 groups split between Male and Female.
We worked with the local authority as essential service within our district through this year. Which worked positively for the community.
We have once again supported university social work students on placements at either BA or MA level and continue to work with universities to provide a real insight into Domestic Abuse support services.

## **Achievements and performance (Continued)**
Special thanks go to our volunteers who have given 1,698 hours of their time over the past year to deliver the service. We have seven volunteers who have enabled RRF to deliver the front-line service to support the families that have attended.
We continue to develop our board of trustees, recruiting new trustees with required skills and experience to help lead RRF in the future. Working together the trustees and service manager have successfully submitted fundraising applications to new and existing funders. With a new funding strategy in place, we will continue to build a mix of income streams to provide long term stability of RRF services.
‘We would like to thank all the people who have supported RRF over the past year including Young Lives, Nova and WYCAS without whose input we could not deliver the range of services to the level of people we do.
We would like to thank the funders who have supported the foundation, Wakefield CCG, West Yorkshire Combined Authority, Young Lives Consortium, The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of West Yorkshire, West Yorkshire Police, Morrison’s Community Champion, Ossett Rotary Club, Melissa Radway School of Dance, clients for ongoing donations and appreciation of the work we do. Prestige Awards for awarding the Non-profit organisation of the year – West Yorkshire award.
The Rosalie Ryrie Foundation Limited has completed another year as a limited company with charitable status. RRF works to improve the lives of family members affected by domestic abuse and/ or destructive relationships. The main aim is to break the cycle of abusive, aggressive and conforming behaviours and enable families to stay together in a safe, positive and stable environment. We have over 13 years of experience of working with the whole family unit or as individuals from toddlers to grandparents including child to parent abuse.
## **Financial review**
The net expenditure for the year was £21,799, including net expenditure of £1,636 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £20,163 on restricted funds after transfers.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £7,827.
The foundation’s intention is to increase the level of unrestricted reserves each year until it reaches 3 months running costs.
Current reserves are below the level of unrestricted reserves set by the policy, the trustees intend to remedy this by the following actions:
To apply for unrestricted funds and to apply for overhead costs in restricted funding applications where possible;
The Service Manager is meeting with the Local Authority to identify gaps in services and an application is being made to the National Lottery Community Fund for 3-5 years funding;
The Operational Manager is applying to Esmee Fairbairn, Liz & Terry Bramall Foundation, Garfield Weston and Randall Foundation as these are funders identified as a good match to support the work of the foundation.
The foundation can take paying Perpetrator programme clients to generate funds to increase reserves, as well as any donations or fundraising.

## **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.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Rosalie Ryrie Foundation Ltd
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2023, 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.
