Lincolnshire Rape Crisis 

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

To relieve the distress and trauma, to preserve and protect the physical, mental health and wellbeing of survivors of sexual violence in Lincolnshire. 

Provide support and therapy services to all survivors of sexual violence in Lincolnshire. To educate the public and partners about rape and sexual abuse and the effects on the survivor, through the provision of education and training and by such other means as the Trustees may determine. 

## **Public benefit** 

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit, in particular, the Trustees consider how specific projects will contribute to their objectives. 

The charity contributes to the public benefit by providing support and therapy for survivors of sexual violence whilst educating the wider community on the effects on the survivor. 

## **Volunteers** 

There is a paid staff team in the organisation. No new Volunteers have been recruited. 

In this year 6 new Specialist Sexual Violence Support workers, 6 Helpline and Live Chat Operatives and one Young Persons Specialist Sexual Violence Support Worker was recruited. 

It would be pertinent to mention that during this reporting period the impacts of Covid- 19 and the lockdown were still great on the organisation and all its staff. Existing support staff, the Service Manager and the CEO all continued to show extensive commitment to the organisation and clients during this unprecedented and challenging time, an enormous and influential part of this commitment was staff increasing their working hours to meet the demands of the service and supporting clients to creatively access our services. 

Existing and new staff completed training throughout the year. 

The Trustees are not only very grateful to the entire staff team for their unwavering commitment but have been impressed by their determination and ferocity to ensure that survivors in Lincolnshire continue to receive a high level of support during and following the pandemic. 

In this Year Lincolnshire Rape Crisis became an important part of the delivery of the RCEW National Helpline & Live Chat by securing a contract to deliver part of this service. Helpline & Live Chat operatives were recruited and trained nationally and locally during this period. 

All  staff receive regular support and supervision and follow strict policy guidance.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## Funders 

The Trustees would like to thank The Ministry of Justice and the Office of Police Crime Commissioner for Lincolnshire, the Brook Trust and Better Beginnings for their financial support without this additional funding our critical services would have been dramatically impacted. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

The year 2022 - 23 was a period of great growth for the organisation. Services increased in demand and new and existing projects were delivered. 

In September 2022 we were successful in securing continuation funding from The Brook Trust to continue delivering ISVA services. This funding supported the continued support of of Lincolnshire Rape Crisis' ISVA and ChISVA services. 

We were successful in securing funding with the Male Rape Support fund which supported us to enhance our service delivery to Men and Boys who are survivors of sexual violence. 

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis was  instrumental in the delivery of the national RCEW live chat service. 

We have seen a significant commitment to fundraising from staff and partners and an increase in support from donors. 

We have continued to increase the accessibility of our services by delivering face to face therapeutic services & counselling, group work, online counselling, online face to face support, and online chat. Referrals into the service continued to increase as do the number of individual sessions of support delivered. 

Awareness about the impacts and effects of sexual violence has been raised through events and media coverage.

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis remains in a healthy financial position having secured contracts to increase non grant funded earnings from delivery of online chat services as well as an ongoing relationship with Safer Beginnings, The Brook Trust, The OPCC Lincolnshire and Ministry of Justice. 

The trustee's reserves policy is to strive to have a minimum of 6 months of reduced running costs which would be approximately £150,000. 

The trustees regularly review the finances, budgets and spend of the charity as part of effective governance. 

The free reserves of the charity for 31 March 2023 stand at £576,545 (2022: £311,379), This has mainly been increased by securing additional income through delivery of the National Helpline and Live Chat Service, for which the charity has made a long-term commitment. Other increases in reserves are because of an increase in fundraising activities with support from donations. The organisation seeks to continue to increase the reserves of the charity in order to meet the requirements of the trustee's reserve policy. 

The charity is grateful for the continued support from the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) the Police and Crime Commissioner and for the support offered by Lloyds Foundation and the Brook Trust. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant and contract income. In the period reported the principal sources of funds have been: 

The MOJ Lincolnshire Police and Crime Commissioner Rape Crisis England and Wales Safer Beginnings Individual donations via: JustGiving PayPal Virgin Money Giving 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees continue to monitor available reserves. The trustee's reserves policy is to have a minimum of 6 months of reduced running costs within unrestricted funds. This level ensures that core activities could continue during periods of crisis or unforeseen difficulty. 

## **Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its constitution; it was formed by a steering group following a public meeting in October 2012. The steering group was successful in applying for Ministry of Justice funding. 

The organisation was successfully approved as a charitable incorporated organisation on 12 November 2013 and has continued in this form since that date. 

## The Board of Trustees: 

Being the Chair, Vice Chair and Secretary (There must always be a minimum of three Trustees in office.) 

The Board of Trustees meets a minimum of four times a year and alongside the CEO is responsible for meeting the aims and objectives, ongoing viability, strategic development and legal obligations of the charity. 

It is vital that its Trustees have the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to carry out this function. Trustees are encouraged to take part in all appropriate training opportunities, to continue to develop their skills and update their knowledge of legal requirements, funding issues and other developments. There are individual responsibilities amongst the Board; individuals hold delegated responsibility for charity business such as Human Resources and Safeguarding. 

The Board of Trustees confirms that it has complied with the duty in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Members of the steering group formed the board of Trustees and training was provided by Lincolnshire Volunteer Centre Services. Trustees received further support by attending Rape Crisis England & Wales (RCEW) conferences. 

New Members have been recruited via the Lincolnshire Rape Crisis website and other social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Application forms are made available at all public events as well as spreading the information by word of mouth. 

New Trustees are recruited from the membership at the Annual General Meeting and provision has been made for four new Trustees to be co-opted. 

Any Person aged 18 years or over, who is resident or works in the county of Lincolnshire and meets the essential criteria, is willing and permitted by law to do so may be appointed as a committee member, committee members are later elected as trustees.

## Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Organisational structure** 

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis delivers its charitable objectives through a team of paid staff. 

In the past year, the staff team has developed in line with the changes in funding and time-limited projects. Whilst the work of the charity has largely been undertaken by the staff team, volunteers play a vital role in the delivery of business. 

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Laura McKane continues to have responsibility for the overall organisation and operational management together with the overall management and strategic development of the charity. Service delivery is overseen by the Service Manager who reports directly to the CEO. 

In order to ensure the charity's work continues to be of a high quality and retains professional standards, staff performance is monitored, and training needs are responded to and actioned. This ensures that the team as a whole is able to enhance its professional practice and to respond to changes in policy, procedures and legislation. 

The Board of Trustees thanks all of the staff team and volunteers and the organisations that have helped progress the aims and objectives of Lincolnshire Rape Crisis. 

## **Decision making** 

The charity is organised so that the trustees meet regularly to oversee its affairs, however day to day management of the organisation is delegated to the CEO, this is to facilitate effective operations and smooth running of the organisation. 

## **Wider network** 

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis is a full member of RCEW, our organisation adheres to and is verified against the Rape Crisis National Service Standards (RCNSS). The RCNSS reflect the specialism held within the Rape Crisis sector to meet the needs of survivors of sexual violence, and ensure survivors receive a consistent and high-quality response across the county.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Lincolnshire Rape Crisis 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Lincolnshire Rape Crisis** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Lincolnshire Rape Crisis (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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.

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis 

## Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## Donated services and facilities: 

Donated 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. 

On receipt, donated 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. 

## Grants: 

Income from 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. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Intangible fixed assets** 

Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. 

Patents and licences are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of ten years. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Lincolnshire Rape Crisis 

## Notes to the Financial Statements - continued for the year ended 31 March 2023 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

**Tangible fixed assets** Improvements to property - 10% on cost Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax and VAT on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Going concern** 

The charity's main source of income is from the Ministry of Justice. The decision to award grants is reviewed on an annual basis. The Trustees confirm that they are not aware of any circumstances which indicate the discontinuation of the grant funding. Furthermore the charity continues to strive to generate additional funding where possible, and as such the financial statements are prepared on a  going concern basis. 

## **Financial instruments** 

Only basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102 are held. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the accounts only when the entity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and their measurement basis is as follows: 

Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments. 

Cash at bank is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at transaction price. 

Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are basic financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Where a financial liability constitutes a financing transaction it is initially and subsequently measured at the present value of future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest.
