## Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## for the year ended 31 March 2022 

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning how our activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. They are informed in this task by robust performance management and monitoring systems that capture the outcomes - and outputs - of our work, and by comprehensive consultation processes that incorporate service user, staff, volunteer and stakeholder experience of service gathered through a variety of formal and informal processes. 

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes. 

Our activities benefit the public by: 

- Providing support, advice and information to victims of rape and sexual violence to help them cope with what they have experienced 

- Raising awareness amongst organisations and communities about the services available to those in need 

- Informing and challenging myths through social media, printed information, training and workshops 

- Running activities for users of the service to develop their self-esteem and confidence and with the aim of helping them recover going forward. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

The charity's main activities and who it tries to help are described below. All its charitable activities focus on women and girls in Trafford and Greater Manchester and beyond and are undertaken to further Trafford Rape Crisis Limited’s charitable purposes for the public benefit. 

In March 2021, 1 Trustee re-joined the team of 5. 2 Trustees stepped down in January, March 2022 respectively. 

TRC is an active member of Rape Crisis England & Wales and is signed up to their National Standards (RCNSS) which were renewed in 2019. We were particularly recognised for our feminist ethos and working practices and invited to speak to other centres around working with a feminist ethos. 

We take part in regular strategic and development meetings with RCEW at regional and national level, including a Women of Colour Solidarity space. We worked closely with other Rape Crisis Centres in developing our LiveChat service, the first such service across Greater Manchester run by a specialist women’s service. 

We continued to provide our service online and began to offer face to face trainings, meetings and counselling as the restrictions changed. We were able to go out into the community, schools and events to run stalls and sessions. Some of our users still preferred to use an online service and this is still part of our offer.

## for the year ended 31 March 2022 

The isolation created by the pandemic restrictions resulted in a significant increase in violence against women. This was still the case when the restrictions changed and the financial and social toll of the pandemic still impacts women’s lives. 

We actively use social media to reach more women and provide information and advice. The launch of our LiveChat service in March 2022 has provided women with another way to contact us that can be done safely and privately from anywhere from a phone, tablet or computer. We have also installed a new IT system that includes a modernisation of our telephone system and we also received training in cyber security awareness. 

We employed a sessional worker to assist with volunteer recruitment and the helpline service. We trained another 13 volunteers. Our total volunteer number of 39 also includes volunteer counsellors who went on to become paid counsellors after the initial probation period. 

We were able to provide a robust helpline and email service, only having to close 10 helpline sessions in the year. 

The counselling service continued to use the secure platform provided by Rape Crisis England and Wales to provide online counselling. The service continues to offer a choice of face-to-face, zoom or telephone counselling. By 2022 just over half of all sessions were still being delivered online or by telephone. 

128 women used the counselling services, with a total of 635 individual counselling sessions. 

Women on the waiting list and using the service receive a weekly supportive and inspirational text. 

Volunteers and counsellors were given regular supervision and support as well as specific training around self-care and boundaries, and more, including trauma presentation and image based sexual abuse. All involved in TRC received a facilitated session in self-care. 

TRC provides a voice for survivors who do not want to proceed through the Criminal Justice System, and as such may only reach out to a specialist service like TRC. 

TRC continues to engage with funders and commissioners in Trafford and Greater Manchester, as well as further afield. We continue to have good strong working relationships with local, statutory, third sector and voluntary organisations to inform and to input into local and Greater Manchester strategy and the community sector. We work with Greater Manchester Combined Authority around Victim Services and with GM4 Women and the GM4 Women BAME Women’s third sector network. We are also engaging with a Mental Health Pathfinders Steering Group to provide a pathway to services for clients with complex needs. 

TRC is an active partner in the Gender Based Violence Strategy in Trafford and partners with Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS), the Trafford Domestic Abuse Forum and the Trafford Domestic Abuse Practitioners Network (DAPN) and the Stop The Traffic Modern Slavery Forum. 

We do information and advice work with Trafford Council, CCG, Living Well Locality Group, MIND, IRISi Sexual Health services training, community groups and Trafford General Hospital where we spoke to senior ward staff. We go out to schools to provide sessions on consent and have created a Consent slide deck. We have distributed over 1,700 of our Consent booklets to educational establishments. 

We go out to events and universities in Trafford and Greater Manchester with information and advice stalls, to counter the myths that are prevalent about sexual violence. We are present at public events that challenge sexual violence. 

We work in partnership with the Black Health Agency, Greater Manchester BAME Women’s network and community groups such as the Pakistani Women’s Association, Women Asylum Seekers Together, Safety for Sisters. We have also been working with several focus groups representing survivors in general and BAMER survivors particularly. We have delivered training to Trafford Council on Honour Based Violence. 

We produce a regular newsletter that goes out to 200 agencies and individuals.

## **Financial review** 

The project has performed on budget during the period being reported. 

Ministry of Justice funding was awarded for the period 2019-2022, and further extended in February 2021 until 2023. Trafford MBC funding was awarded for 2019-2022 also. Greater Manchester Combined Authority funding was awarded for six months, with a further six months then awarded. 

At the start of the year 2021 we had in place 1 full-time Manager (35 hours), 1 Volunteer Coordinator, 1 Face-to-Face Services Coordinator (both 25 hours), 1 Business Support Officer (25 hours). 

At year end 31 March 2022 Trafford Rape Crisis held £217,567 total Charity funds, £25,036 was for restricted projects going forward. 

## Reserves policy 

TRC has a reserves policy which is used to report our reserves position. We will be raising unrestricted funds to improve our unrestricted reserves position. 

The charity intends to maintain a free reserve in unrestricted funds, around £85,000, to continue to offer a basic service in line with its charitable objects for a period of between 3 and 6 months. 

## **Plans for the future** 

As services open up to more possibilities of face to face events, we are looking at how we engage with community, education, health groups once more. 

We know that it is often the personal contact that supports women to come forward, engage, share and ask for support. In the light of this we are seeking to engage with different and diverse community groups, particularly the hard to reach communities and those who require engagement at their community level. This is an ongoing conversation with different groups. We are gathering feedback from these groups, which will inform our strategy going forward, discerning what we need to put in place to reach these women. 

We will train a cohort of volunteers to work on the Livechat service and will expand this service offer over the next year. We will put in place volunteer cafes and trainings to enrol and train more volunteers for the helpline and email service. 

We will provide a stabilisation service for women on the counselling waiting list to support them until they can receive counselling. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The trustees have the overall responsibility for compliance with the legal requirements of the limited company and the charity. They jointly hold strategic planning, management of funds, policy development and implementation and recruitment of volunteers, paid workers and trustees with

## Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

## Trustees’ annual report 

## for the year ended 31 March 2022 

the Management Group, which is made up of the trustees, the manager and 1 member of paid staff. There are a number of Sub Groups and a Volunteer Forum which report to the Management Group via the Manager. 

The operational day to day running of the organisation is undertaken by the Manager and the paid workers, with volunteers working alongside. 

## **Trustee induction and training** 

The trustees hear about Trafford Rape Crisis following their involvement with the organisation as volunteers and also through some external recruitment. This recruitment process is in line with the volunteer recruitment procedure for Trafford Rape Crisis, and Trustees will be required to attend part of the volunteer training to become familiar with the ethos, practice, governance and structure of the organisation. 

All trustees are encouraged to access opportunities for external training. 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 19[th] July 2010 and registered as a charity on 29th July 2013. 

The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. 

Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The total number of such guarantees at 31[st] March 2022 was 4 (2021:6). The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. 

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 9 to the accounts. None claimed as trustees. 

## Related parties and relationships with other organisations 

In so far as it is complementary to the charity's objects, the charity is guided by both local and national policy. 

## Risk management 

Trafford Rape Crisis maintains a robust Risk Register.

## Statement of responsibilities of the trustees 

The trustees (who are also directors of Trafford Rape Crisis for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements 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 that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then 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 and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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 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.

Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows: 

## **a Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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), second edition - October 2019 (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Trafford Rape Crisis Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **b Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts. However, judgments that have been made are described in the financial review of the Trustees' report. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **c Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. 

For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material. 

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. 

## **d Donated services and facilities** 

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution. 

On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt. 

## **e Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **f Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. 

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity. 

## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings: 

- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs of services undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs. 

- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading. 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 

## **h Allocation of support costs** 

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 6. 

## **i Operating leases** 

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## **j Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows: 

Computers 33% Office fixtures and equipment 25% 

14 



Trafford Rape Crisis Limited 

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued) 

## **k Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **l Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## **m Creditors and provisions** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **n Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
