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 received a total of 416 referrals Men 167 Women 193 Families 56

During this time we has supported 12 children to return home, 3 men to return home and numerous access contact with their children.

We have once again support colleges and universities with students on placements to enhance their skills and knowledge on the impact on children who have lived/living with domestic abuse.

Special thanks to our volunteers who have given 304 hours of their time over the past year.

We continue to try and develop our board of trustees, enabling the RRF to develop the range of skills to lead the RRF in the future.

We successfully achieved 1 contracts and funding to secure 3 posts further year. We are also developing a mix of income streams to enable the RRF to continue to develop a long-term sustainability.

1 staff member has a Diploma & another is currently on their way to achieving their Diploma.

A special thanks to the families, men, women and children who have trusted us to support them through their dark times.

Again, we would like to thank the long-term support from WYCAS, YOUNG LIVES, Nova, Val-trading, Awards4All, The Kelly Family Trust, Garfield Weston, Mayors Community Fund, St George Martins Trust,

We have now been running 18 years and there is still a lot of work to be done and we will continue to do our best to deliver the service for the community.

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.

Approved by the board of trustees on 21/10/2025

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 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.

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.
