Restored Lives Trustees’ Report For the year ended 31 December 2023
The trustees present their report together with the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Companies Act 2006 and applicable UK accounting standards in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Our Aims and objectives
The aim of Restored Lives is to help people successfully recover from relationship breakdown by providing easily accessible and cost effective resources primarily through facilitated group programmes. These resources include the eight-session Restored Lives course for adults; Your Direction, a five-session workshop for teenagers and young adults whose parents have separated; online workshops and other specific resources such as support for people separating from abusive partners. We also offer associated material in the form of the Restored Lives book, workbooks and free downloadable how-to guides. We promote and support the delivery of the course and workshop across the world to reach as many people as possible.
Review of 2023 Activities
The online version of both courses continue to work well. Attendance at the Restored Lives adults central online course is encouraging with around 170 people joining, often from countries outside the UK. The face to face courses were closed down by Covid and we are now seeing people re-starting these local courses, although this has been a slow process as people regain confidence for in person courses.
The biggest activity in 2023 was the start of rolling out the Your Direction workshop for children of separated parents. The need is very significant as family breakdown is the single biggest factor affecting teenage mental health with 1.4m children impacted in the UK by this over the last 5 years. Sadly there is currently no specific support, other than general counselling, which is not accessible for many people, and so our resources are greatly needed.
We created a Theory of Change paper which highlighted that with additional resources we could directly impact the lives of 1,000 children as well as release online and social media resources to support over 20,000 children. We have been hugely encouraged by the response to this paper and new funding has enabled us to employ two new roles enhancing our website and social media platform and a partnerships executive to build and develop partners to run the workshop and linking people to the online workshop.
Feedback from guests continues to be hugely encouraging with well being scores increasing significantly and qualitative responses showing remarkable changes and improvements in participants lives.
Brand awareness is growing as a result of our marketing efforts with circa 300% increase in website traffic. We have grown a combined Instagram audience of 947 followers. We are now increasing activity on LinkedIn targeting potential partners in education, the legal and charitable sectors.
Looking ahead to 2024
In 2024 we are focused on expanding the number of people attending our courses and the impact of our resources on people’s lives. We are particularly concentrating on increasing the number of people on the central online Your Direction workshop and building partners to run the Your Direction workshop in their local communities.
As we talk to interested parties it is becoming very apparent that there is very little information, understanding or discussion in the UK of the impact on children of their parents’ separation. Although the research is clear and the change immense, few people understand the child’s perspective nor the issues arising for them such as stress, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, increased responsibilities, shame and new relationships with step parents & children which deeply affect a child’s wellbeing. These issues change the foundation of a child’s life and affect their future relationships which is why we are so excited by the impact of the workshop of enabling participants to navigate their life changes as well as empowering them with good relationship skills to enhance their future relationships.

Policy on Reserves
The policy of the board of trustees is not to build up general reserves beyond the operating needs of the charity. Free reserves at 31 December 2023 were £23,777.
Responsibilities of the Trustees
Charity law requires the trustees under charity law, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
follow applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is not appropriate to assume that the charity will continue on that basis.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charity Commission Guideline. The trustees 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.
In accordance with charity law, as the charity’s trustees, we certify that as the trustees of the charity we have taken all the steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the charity complies with the law.

Restored Lives 31 December 2023 Charity no (if any) 1152381 1-8 I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended31 / 12 / 2023. As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of theTrust’saccounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA, UK). |
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
