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:
Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA) Service
The ISVA team provides criminal justice advocacy from the point of reporting to the natural conclusion of the case and will also support if someone is unsure whether they wish to report or not. They operate independently but work in close collaboration with the police, crown prosecution service, and court system to ensure seamless advocacy for victims of sexual violence by supporting them to voice their needs within the process. The team consists of adult ISVAs as well as ISVAs specifically trained to to support Children and Young People.
Life Enhancement Skills Advisor (LESA) Service
The LESA Service provides practical and emotional support packages across a range of issues that may be preventing our clients from moving forward. The areas of support include but may not be limited to housing, debt, substance misuse, welfare and benefits, return to work, finances and improving social networks.
Counselling Service
Our counselling services addresses the immediate and long-term impacts of sexual abuse on mental health and wellbeing. Delivered on a 1-1 basis, its primary goal is to fostering healing and growth and facilitate trauma resolution. The service is needs led and every individual is unique, however some of the common issues we work with on a regular basis are self-harm, attachment, anxiety, dissociation, post-traumatic stress disorder, suicidal thoughts, flashbacks, nightmares, trust issues and trauma.
Play Therapy
Our team of experienced practitioners also deliver therapeutic interventions to young people through a school's. Working in both primary and secondary setting across Teesside, the children and young people's counsellors provide 1-1 support to help young people to understand and to cope with their feelings in ways that are safe and meaningful to them.
The Light Project
The Light Project has been developed to support non-abusing parent and caregivers whose children have experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA). It is a mix of 1-1 support with an accredited counsellor followed by a programme of group work. The project aims to support parents and caregivers following disclosure of sexual abuse to understand what is going on for their child and how they can best support them.

Year ended 31 March 2024
Achievements and performance
This year we have supported 956 unique individuals through the service of which 750 were adults over the age of 18 years, 179 were young people between the age of 13-17 years and 27 were children under the age of 12years.
In line with the gendered nature of sexual violence most of the victim/survivors we supported were women and girls accounting for 87% of people supported. Men and boys accounted for 11% of clients supported which was slightly lower than the previous year and 2% of clients identified as Transgender or Non-Binary.
We delivered 9163 sessions of support across our services with 6264 sessions delivered within the ISVA service including 308 court support sessions. 468 were delivered through the LESA service and 2,436 therapy sessions of which 572 were pre-trial.
We continue to see consistent demand for our services, during the year we received 971 referrals across services, a 6% increase on the year before.
ISVA Service
Our ISVA service remains a vital support line for many victims and survivors across Cleveland. Cases 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 constant contact from my ISVA she was always there to update us. The ISVA didn't see me as a number, she treated me like a real person. She was always at the end of the phone. I am so glad we had her help."
"The service is absolutely amazing, you have always made time for me you worked around my shifts and it was so accommodating I have valued the constant support that I have had throughout the Criminal Justice Process. I am sad to be leaving, having the constant support was truly amazing."
LESA Service
The LESA service delivers practical and emotional support across a range of issues including access to benefits, support to return to employment, and housing. The LESA service has also provided opportunities to better support social connections and wellbeing through organized walks and other activities. The service has also been vital in supporting access to hardship funds this year, many of the clients we support are struggling with essentials, such as safe housing, heating for their homes, and food.
"Thank you for all your help with housing, I cannot thank you enough, it so nice to have heating in the property again after being without for over 12 months. The kids are now even moaning it Is too hot!"
"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for getting in touch with this lovely lady so quickly regarding her housing. She wanted to pass on her gratitude to you and to say how wonderful you are and how she is blessed that you are helping her. Thank you again, you do amazing work."
Counselling Service
The counselling team have seen some developments this year with the expansion of our offer into Stockton and Hartlepool. Working in partnership and on an outreach model we are now able to provide sessions directly in these communities making the service more accessible to where people live. The average engagement rate for the service remains high at 78% and the average wait time is between 1012 weeks from referral despite the increase in demand from opening the service up.
Clients continue to feel valued by the service 100% telling us that they felt believed and understood by

the team. 96% of clients also told us that they felt more empowered & better able to deal with abuse/people if they chose to.
"I am able to recognize my thoughts and feelings and don't feel isolated and worthless. My confidence in myself and how I cope with others has drastically changed for the better. I have valued being heard and treated with respect as well as being able to acknowledge my feelings in a safe space with someone I trust and knowledge I value."
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. 110 sessions were delivered to young people aged 12 and under during this period and 326 sessions to young people between 13-17 years old.
"I just want to say that I am so happy you are working with xxx she has nothing but praise for you to finally have someone who just sees her. They support for her but also for me has been immense I just cannot thank you and the service enough." (Parent)
The Light Project
The Light Project continues to flourish and is about to commence its 15th cohort, 45 parents or supporters of a survivor were supported this year with 120 sessions of support delivered. The support offer provides a mix of 1-1 and groupwork and parents have continued to value the peer support element of the program
88% of attendees told us they felt better equipped to deal with the situation and communicate with their child following the group. 44% felt they had a big increase in their knowledge about sexual violence and a further 36% felt they had had quite a lot of increase in their knowledge. 100% felt it was extremely important to know that there were other parents going through something similar.
ARCH-Ed
This year our designated funding for ARCH-Ed work ended, however we have continued to develop and deliver the project. Aimed at young people aged between 11-25 years, this project provides a safe space to explore issues such as consent, sexualization, 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.
Between April 2023 and March 2024, with 1 part-time post we worked in 9 schools and delivered 21 groups to 432 young people, an average of 20 young people in a session. We delivered 6 sessions per group and a total of 126 sessions. Feedback from the young people we engage with demonstrates that they find this space valuable, and we will continue this year to source appropriate funding streams to support this work as the sessions were not only supportive for pupils but also the staff in school settings
"I found the sessions to be incredibly helpful for the students, but also myself. They're quite a quiet class, yet they were engaged and volunteering themselves to give answers and feedback which goes to show how immersed they were in the content. It was also brilliant as some of the current attitudes surrounding women within society were discussed throughout. I know this was a comfort to some of our girls as they now know what to do and where to go if they ever need help."(Teacher Year 10 group)
Hope for Change
Hope for Change is a new project this year, introduced as part of the Pilgrim Trusts Young Women in Mind programme. Working in partnership with Youth Focus Northeast and Teesside MIND, we have introduced a participation worker to support young women aged between 16-25years to come together to influence better mental health provision that meets their needs.
Community Grant Partnership (Smallwood Trust)
We are delighted to continue our work as a community grant partner for the Smallwood Trust. The
- 4 -
ARCH Teesside
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
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 28 grants for women and girls with a total amount of £20,347.69 awarded, meaning that our average grant awards this year were higher. 46% of grants were awarded under the mental health and wellbeing strand, 43% to support financial stability, and 11% housing support.
Trustees also approve the use of ARCH client funds to support applications for men and boys and females under age 18 or who are in full time education, using the same criteria, in this period 49 grants for males and those under 18 years of age have been approved, totaling £3,235.12 These were provided for support with gym membership, taxi's, food vouchers bicycles, fridge freezer, driving license 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 9 wonderful volunteers this year who have all completed their placements within our counselling service. Over this time, they have provided an amazing 1500 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:
"The team are so welcoming and supportive. I have really enjoyed my placement; I can feel my confidence growing every time I am here, I love being here and the work that everyone does is amazing"
24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line
We were delighted this year to continue our delivery as one of the partners on the 24/7 Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Line contract secured by Rape Crisis England and Wales (RCEW) through our team of highly skilled and committed operators.
Future Plans
Securing funding to sustain our service delivery will be a priority for the coming year with our OPCC ISVA contract and MOJ Rape Support Fund grant both due to come to an end in March 2025. As planning permissions have now been granted for the extension to the building, we will also be developing our fundraising and delivery plans for the project. We remain committed to prevention work and will put a focus upon securing the funds to increase our capacity to deliver on this. We will also have a focus upon participation this year and improving the ways in which survivors can shape and influence our services, to support this we are excited to be introducing a new role of participation and training coordinator.

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 surplus of £39,964.
The reserves stand at £605,160 £573,384 being unrestricted funds with free reserves of £356,574, this equates to approx 5 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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of ARCH Teesside
Year ended 31 March 2024
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024, 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 2024
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
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.
- 11 -
ARCH Teesside
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
Year ended 31 March 2024
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.
