Achievements and performance
The charity has seen another year where our activities have increased. In 20204125 there were 1414
referrals received by the service an increase of 37 % on the previous year (971 referrals) and continuing
an upward trend in recent years.
Due to backlogs and delays within the criminal justice system we are providing support to more people
for longer and we envisage that demand will continue to increase, making it a priority for us to ensure
that we are appropriately resourced to continue to meet the need for our specialist services.
The charity supported 1017 unique individuals in the year, an increase of 6¢/0 (956 previously) and
delivered 11,810 face-to-face sessions. Over all methods of support, we delivered 38,686 sessions of
support.
Unfortunately, the level of demand for our advocacy service without any increase in our staffing capacity
has meant that we have taken the step of introducing a waiting list for the ISVA service at the mid-point
of the year. This decision ensures referrals are managed transparently, whilst helping us to prioritise
urgent cases. maintaining the quality of support for survivors, whilst protecting the wellbeing of our staff
in the face of sustained demand.
Similarly, the complexity of need in referrals for the counselling setwice has also had an impact upon
the service and contributed to an increased waiting time. The teams continue to work hard to manage
this demand, and we continue to flag these challenges with funders and commissioners.
We actioned a decision in line with our strategi¢ plan to introduce a designated Children and Young
People's (C&YP) team this year. Led by a newly appointed C&YP Lead. this restructured team
comprises of CH-ISVAS C&YP counsellors, ARCH-Ed prevention worker, and a young women's
participation worker.
It is envisaged that by bringing together children and young people's workers together in this way, we
can co-create responsive services that reflect young peoples lived experiences ensuring their voices
are heard and play a greater part on informing our service delivery.
Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA) Service
The ISVA team provide independent criminal justice advocacy for anyone who is thinking about or has
reported their experience of sexual violencelabuse to police. They operate independently but work in
close collaboration with the police, crown prosecution service (CPS), and court system lo ensure
seamless advocacy for victimslsurvivors by supporting their voice and needs to be understood within
the criminal justice process.
The service is commissioned by the Office ofthe Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) for Cleveland.
"My ISVA saved my life. When I reported to the police, my ISVA chased and chased my Gase for the
nearfy two years it was being Gonducfed. She talked me through everything and helped me Unde￿tand
the system. She was 8 massive part of my recovery and was more than just an ISVA. She was a
shoulder to cry on, someone lo rant to, to help get my frustrations out about the situation I was in and
most importantly someone I could go to for anything - who would be there for me, with no judgement."
The ISVA seNice received 732 referrals and delivered 4,734 sessions with adult suNivors. In this

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.

Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has
passed to the charty., 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 re¢ognised 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 seNice. This is classyfied 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 relale.
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
Impaiment 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.
Forthe 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.

Impairment of fixed assets (eontlnued)
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition dale, 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 a55ets 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 otheTwise 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 nomial 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 fulure
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Otherfinancial 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 signrficance. 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 a5 an asset to the extent that
the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

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.
