Objectives and activities
The objectives of the CIO are to relieve the trauma and distress of victims of sexual violence/abuse and their families, in particular through the provision of counselling, advice and support; to advance the education of the public in sexual assault and in the effects on the victim and their families. ARCH is a Specialist Independent Sexual Violence service providing free and confidential support to women, men, and children. It is our aim that people affected by rape and sexual violence in Teesside will be able to move forward in their lives, empowered by the quality support that we have provided in their recovery.
Our mission is to provide care, support, help and guidance for all those affected by rape and sexual violence in Teesside.
We achieve our aim through the delivery of specialist support which aims to address the therapeutic, practical, emotional and advocacy needs of the clients we support. We offer the following services in line with our charitable objectives:

ISVA Service
Our ISVA service remains a vital support line for many victims and survivors across Cleveland. Case are increasingly open to the service for longer due to backlogs within the criminal justice system. As a result, having an independent point of contact is vital to help people feel engaged with their case and what is happening. There was a 19% increase in referrals to the service this year, and the team provided 17,912 sessions of support an increase of 8% on the previous year.
"Thank you for everything you have done for me, you kept me strong, and I will be forever grateful for that, I wish you all the luck in the future, thank you for everything. I can finally move on with my life."

The LESA service has delivered 828 sessions of 1-1 support over the period, a 4% increase on the previous year.
"Thank you so much for all your support and understanding. You have been my rock throughout my PIP claim, and I cannot thank you enough. Without your support I don't think I would have been awarded PIP. The money is life changing for me and has given me confidence to keep on fighting."

"I valued most the reassurance I got as it was something I had never spoken about before and was hard for me to talk about as I almost felt as if it was myself to blame. The thing I will value is knowing it was not my fault and this will help me move forward every day."
Our play therapy service continues to play an important role in providing age-appropriate support to young people to help them to process their experiences and manage their emotions. 185 sessions were delivered to young people aged 12 and under during this period and 1101 sessions to young people between 13-17 years old.

ARCH-Ed
This year with support through the OPCC Curve fund we have continued to develop and deliver ARCHEd. Aimed at young people aged between 11-25 years, this project provides a safe space to explore issues such as consent, sexualisation, social media and pornography. This year we have increased the number of schools that we engage with and have continued to deliver the programme in partnership with local youth settings. We have worked with 110 young people in school settings and engaged an average 25 young people in each of the 10 youth settings. Feedback from the young people has been extremely positive and our next steps will be to evaluate the work and make the case

for more sustainable funding to allow us to continue to develop the project.
"I now know that I can say no, this session has taught me a lot. I thought consent was just verbal, I know that consent includes body language and not just speaking."
Community Grant Partnership (Smallwood Trust)
We are delighted to have been successful with our application to the Smallwood Trust to continue our work as a community grant partner. The partnership allows us to facilitate direct grants to women and girls to help meet their immediate needs and work towards greater financial resilience.
Over this reporting period we provided 38 grants for women and girls with a total amount of £20,230 awarded. 78.6% of grants were awarded under the mental health and wellbeing strand, 18.4% to support financial stability, and 2.63% housing support.
Trustees also approve the use of ARCH client funds to support applications for men and boys using the same criteria, in this period 7 grants for males have been approved, totalling £1,820 These were provided for support with gym membership, taxi's, food vouchers bicycles, fridge freezer, driving licence application.
"Thank you to everyone at ARCH. The Smallwood trust has helped me get some food shopping and has also helped me to get some art and craft supplies which massively helps with my recovery."
"Oh no way! thank you so much. Oh, I'm crying with happy tears, I couldn't thank you enough."
Our staff team continue to go above and beyond in their roles, and we are proud of the way they centre the needs of victims and survivors of sexual violence, in often difficult circumstances. They truly embrace our service strapline, 'we believe, we care, we are with you.'
Alongside our paid staff team, we are fortunate to have worked with 6 wonderful volunteers this year who have all completed their placements within our counselling service. Over this time, they have provided an amazing 1472 hours of volunteering. The number of volunteer placements is building back up following a reduction in volunteer numbers during the covid pandemic. Volunteers play an important role as part of the ARCH team and we are pleased that they value their experience with us:
"I started volunteering for Arch in April 2022. During the past year the level of support, training and supervision has been outstanding. I couldn't have asked for a better experience at my first placement, and I have learned so much. I have been encouraged to get involved with all aspects of the service and this has given me so much confidence and led to other opportunities opening up to me."
"I have had the most amazing experience working with ARCH. The team has been nothing but supportive and welcoming. You have given me the best experience to what a professional and caring work environment is. I will be forever thankful to be a part of the ARCH team."
24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line
We were delighted this year to be awarded a contract to deliver support as part of the 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line contract secured by Rape Crisis England and Wales (RCEW). As part of the wider service, we provide a team of 7 operators who contribute to this crucial new service.
We celebrated 25 years of delivering sexual violence support this year, marking the occasion with an event to show our journey over this time and highlight the work that still needs to be achieved to ensure all victim/survivors receive the support that they deserve. At the event we launched an ARCH film, selfhelp guide, and downloadable resource, all available on our newly upgraded website.

Future Plans
We are delighted to have developed a new strategic plan this year which sets out six key objectives under the two priority areas of developing our organisation and developing our services. The objectives are centred around: funding and investment; being a stronger team; innovating and improving; reaching more communities that need us; the continuous improvement of services; and developing prevention work.
Our biggest challenges continue to be the increasing demand for support and the current functionality of our building. We are working to address both, by making more outreach and community-based support available and by progressing our plans to enhance our current space. Planning applications are currently lodged with Middlesbrough Borough Council to remodel and extend our building and a key task for the year ahead will be to secure the funds needed to make the plans a reality.

Financial review (continued)
Financial review
The results for the period are reflected in the Statement of Financial Activities in the accounts. The accounts for the year show a deficit of £55,541.
The reserves stand at £565,196, £556,576 being unrestricted funds with free reserves of £371,091, this equates to approx 6 months running costs.
Reserves Policy
The trustees aim is to expend all funds on their charitable objects; however, they recognise the need to maintain a certain level of reserves as a cushion against possible future difficulties. Free reserves at the level of 9 months running costs would allow the charity to continue it's operations while alternative funding sources were sought.
Legal Fund
Trustees have allocated £10,000 to a legal fund this will support us to ensure we meet any legal liabilities and have sufficient reserves allocated to secure specialist HR and legal advice when required.
Building Fund
The Community Asset Transfer of 22 Hoylake Road is progressing, and a planning application has been submitted to Middlesbrough Borough Council in respect of adaptations to the building. Trustees have allocated £125,000 to help support the charity to move forward its plans for building expansion and adaptions. This amount will show our commitment to progressing this work which is a key priority for the continued growth and development of the charity. The balance of this fund is now £111,275 after spend for the year.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of ARCH Teesside
Year ended 31 March 2023
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met, or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 31 March 2023
1. General information
The company is a public benefit entity and a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)in England and Wales. The address of the principal office is 22 Hoylake Road, Saltersgill, Middlesbrough, TS4 3JL.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purposes and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, with a fair allocation of management and support costs.

ARCH Teesside
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered and are allocated to the particular activity to which they relate.
Tangible assets
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Office Equipment - 20% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

ARCH Teesside
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
3. Accounting policies (continued)
Impairment of fixed assets (continued)
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution plans (continued)
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
