RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

The Trustees are pleased to present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.

The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Articles of Association, and 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document Constitution adopted 30-12-2013

Constitution updated 29 January 2016 to allow for two Co-Chairs on the Board.

How the charity is constituted Charitable Incorporated Organisation

The Board of Trustees:

There must at all times be a minimum of three Trustees in office. Only women who are Trustees, staff members or volunteers with organisations that are full members of the ClO may stand for election to the Board of Trustees.

The Board of Trustees meets six times a year and is responsible for meeting the aims and objectives, ongoing viability, strategic development and legal obligations of the charity. The Board of Trustees holds overall responsibility for the charity's continued success. It is vital that its Trustees have the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to carry out this function.

All member organisations are part of geographical regions in England and Wales. Each region is invited to elect a regional representative to be a Trustee on the Board. Their role includes acting as the contact point for local Centres in their region, relaying information from the Centres to the Board and vice versa. Regional Trustees are elected on a two-year term. Honorary Officers serve for 12 months, after which they must be reelected at the next Annual General Meeting to remain in post. Trustees are individuals elected amongst the membership in accordance with the constitution.

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 several sub-groups that hold delegated responsibility for aspects of the charity's work such as Human Resources and Membership related issues.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.

Organisational Structure

Rape Crisis England & Wales delivers its charitable objectives primarily through a team of paid staff. In the past year, the staff team has changed in line with the changes in funding and time-limited projects. As well as the staff team’s output, some work has been contracted to external businesses, member Rape Crisis Centres (RCCs) or individual freelance consultants.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO), C. Quinn left the organisation in September 2020. After this, Lucy Graham, Operational Lead (employed since August 2020) and Katie Russell, Media Relations Co-ordinator, covered daily operational management, with the Board of Trustees overseeing the overall management and strategic development of the charity while the recruitment process for a new CEO was underway. A new CEO, Jayne Butler was recruited in February 2021 and commenced in post after the end of the financial year reported here (19 April 2021).

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Organisational Structure (continued)

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 and wellbeing needs are responded to and actioned. This ensures that the team as a whole is able to enhance its professional practice and respond to changes in policy, procedures and legislation.

The Board of Trustees thanks all of the individuals and organisations that have helped progress the aims and objectives of Rape Crisis England & Wales this year, both regionally and nationally.

Remuneration Policy

Rape Crisis England & Wales is committed to ensuring a proper balance between (i) paying our staff and others who work for us fairly so that we attract and retain the best people for the job and (ii) careful management of our charity funds. In so doing we will ensure the greatest effectiveness in delivering our charitable objectives and meeting the needs of our beneficiaries.

When determining the salary for a new post, we will collect information about comparable roles in other organisations, preferably within the voluntary sector. We will use this information to benchmark our own salaries, normally aiming to set it at a level that appears to represent the market average. We will also seek advice from colleagues within other organisations when we know they employ people in similar roles.

Salary allocations will be based on the requirements of the post, the experience each member of staff brings to the role, and the funding for the post.

Objectives and Activities for the public benefit

The primary objective of the charity (as defined by its governing document) is to relieve the trauma and distress of women and girls, their families and friends, who have experienced any form of sexual violence and abuse.

In particular but not exclusively, the charity achieves this objective through the support and promotion of Rape Crisis Centres and through raising awareness of the issues of sexual violence and abuse in the wider community, in the media, and with local and national Government.

The charity continues to receive a high volume of visitors to its website and contacts to its main public-facing email address each year. This includes visits and emails from victims and survivors looking for support, their friends and family members, professionals seeking support for clients or information, students and academics asking for statistics and information for assignments and research, and requests to work in partnership.

In the last year, RCEW handled 1,506 of these kinds of emails, including 229 that involved direct support work, and the rapecrisis.org.uk website received 523,761 visitors.

The Live Chat emotional support service, which offers support for women and girls aged 16 and over, who live in England and whose lives have been affected by sexual violence or abuse at any time and launched in October 2019, entered its’ second year of service delivery, providing 4,069 chats from April 2020 - March 2021, representing a near 50% increase on the previous year.

The rest of the charity’s activities for the public benefit during the year ending 31 March 2021 focused on the five strategic priority areas of: Sustainability, Growth, Quality, Knowledge and Prevention.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout this year cannot be understated and much of the charity’s work has had the additional focus of ensuring that member RCCs were provided with effective support to respond to the additional demands placed on them by lockdown restrictions, provided with dedicated spaces for effective collaboration, sharing of best practice and concerns through regular online network meetings and supported in resilience planning to ensure sustainability in a period of great uncertainty.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Achievements and Performance

Strategic Priority 1: Sustainability

Aim: Women and girls need and deserve access to stable, specialist services. So we will continue to make the case for long-term, dedicated funding with national government, local commissioners, trusts, foundations, philanthropists and others. At the same time, we will support members to explore a range of income generation opportunities.

Activities:

Strategic Priority 2: Growth

Aim: Women and girl victims and survivors of sexual violence have often waited years to be heard; their wait for support and justice should not be prolonged by lack of capacity within specialist services. So we will support our members to evidence need through improved data collection. We will also enable Centres to widen their service provision and reach to underserved women and girls e.g. through digital technologies.

Strategic Priority 2: Growth (continued)

Strategic Priority 3: Quality

Aim: Women and girls must be confident that they will receive the same level of excellence from every Rape Crisis service. We will review and build upon the National Service Standards with a renewed focus on service delivery; continue to increase the numbers of staff and volunteers across our network who have specialist sexual violence qualifications; continue to support our membership to provide an evidence base of the impact of their work.

Activities:

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Strategic Priority 4: Knowledge

Aim: The experiences and voices of victims and survivors must be heard if we are to create a world in which those who have survived child sexual abuse, rape and all forms of sexual violence get the support they need when they need it. We will keep women and girls at the forefront of all RCEW says nationally and continue to promote their rights, informed by our membership’s frontline work.

Activities:

¢ Our website provides information and statistics about sexual violence; challenges myths and victim-blaming; and provides access to specialist services for victims and survivors, including hosting our Live Chat Helpline, and providing signposting to local specialist services. The site was visited by 523,761 people from 1 Apr 2020 — 31 Mar 2021. Feedback from website users:

Strategic Priority 4: Growth (continued)

Strategic Priority 5: Prevention

Aim: There is a clear and urgent need for wider prevention work focused in particular on the perpetrators and potential perpetrators of sexual offences. We will continue to confront and challenge myths, misinformation and the tolerance of sexual violence in all we do and carry out awareness-raising work e.g campaigns and schools work.

Future Activities (continued)

Fundraising

Income raised through donations in the year was £158,804 (2020: £125,385). We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received from so many long-term supporters and other members of the public. Many individuals have chosen to support Rape Crisis England & Wales and organised their own fundraiser through JustGiving, Virgin Money Giving and other accessible sites. Our general approach is to raise funds ourselves and not to use third parties. We use techniques that are ethical, legal, do not inconvenience the public, and are not detrimental to our good name or standing in the local community. We do not use general solicitation techniques by telephone or door-to-door. We have received no complaints about fundraising during the year.

Financial Review

The charity, with the aid of sound financial management and the support of both its staff and Board of Trustees, generated a positive financial outcome for the year and the net movement in funds for the year amounted to £202,065 (2020: £273,629) of which £118,642 (2020: £162,448) related to unrestricted funds, including designated.

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:

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

Policy on Reserves

The level of income retained in reserves is based on a realistic assessment of the charity's future income needs and RCEW continues to be prudent in any expenditure. The current unpredictability of existing funding streams and the reduction in the availability of new funding streams due to the economic climate remains a risk. The Board of Trustees is satisfied that risk management steps will mitigate the identified risks to the charity. RCEW operates a robust reserves policy with the level of the reserves fund determined annually when the budget is set for the following year and the level monitored through the usual financial reporting. The Board of Trustees recognises the need to ensure adequate operational costs are held in reserve to account for contractual obligations to staff (i.e. maternity, sickness, pension and redundancy pay), risk management and any unanticipated reduction in income.

In 2018-19 RCEW reviewed the Reserves Policy. The level of reserves required will be based on:

In addition, amounts are set aside to meet the provision for an orderly winding-down of operations in the event of a significant adverse event that is outside the control of Rape Crisis England & Wales. This may include:

¢« Redundancy payments;

The level of reserves agreed by the Board of Trustees for 2020-21 is £400,000, a decrease from previous year to reflect the change in staffing levels and also the new designation of funds for ongoing service operating costs. At the year end free reserves, excluding designated funds, were £413,787 which is slightly above this level.

In addition, we have chosen to designate funds of £300,000 towards the costs of 1 year of running the Live Chat service, as we now hold responsibility for this and have chosen to designate funds of £400,000 towards operational costs to implement strategic change.

Constant uncertainty about future funding has ongoing significant impact on strategic short- and long-term planning and service delivery and causes multiple organisational problems including employment issues such as redundancy notices, short-term or fixed-term contracts and maintaining staff morale.

The charity needs reserves to evidence sound financial management, particularly when applying for tenders, and can demonstrate reliable services or funding over the longer term.

Risk Management

The Board of Trustees recognises that the main external risk to the organisation is loss or reduction in funding, particularly in this current unstable financial climate. The charity will manage this risk by diversifying its funding sources through any new commissioning opportunities.

Internal financial controls, policy and procedures are in place to ensure compliance. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity. Monitoring reports to external funders ensure a consistent quality of delivery for the operational aspects of the charity.

Going Concern

During the year, COVID-19 has resulted in a pandemic affecting economies globally. The speed and severity of the impact has been unprecedented but many Governments, including within the UK, have introduced considerable measures to help businesses through this extremely challenging time. At the time of approval of these accounts, the full effect of the pandemic is uncertain, but, as noted in the accounting policy note, the trustees consider that the charity remains a going concern.

Reference and Administrative Details

The Legal and Administrative Information forms part of this report.

Statement of the Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Charity 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 charity at the year end, of its incoming resources and resources expected during the year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the charity’s constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Auditors

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Rape Crisis England & Wales (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

-10-

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 require us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of Trustees' responsibilities, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, inclusing fraud.

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience, through discussion with the trustees and other management, and from inspection of the charity's regulatory and legal correspondence. We discussed with the trustees and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance during the audit.

-11-

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

The charity is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related charities legislation), pensions legislation, taxation legislation and further laws and regulations that could indirectly affect the financial statements, comprising environmental, health and safety and employment legislation, and, in the current climate, Covid regulations. We assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. These procedures did not identify any potentially material actual or suspected non-compliance.

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud we considered the opportunities and incentives and pressures that may exist within the charity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included: enquiry of trustees and other management to understand the high level policies and procedures in place to prevent and detect fraud, reading Board minutes and considering performance targets and incentive schemes in place for management. We communicated identified fraud risks throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of fraud during the audit.

As a result of these procedures we identified the greatest potential for fraud in the following areas: - income recognition and in particular the risk that income is recognised in the wrong reporting period or that restricted income is not correctly recognised as such; and - subjective accounting estimates.

These fraud risks arise due to a desire to present results in a differing light to meet management objectives.

As required by auditing standards we also identified and addressed the risk of management override of controls. We performed the following procedures to address the risks of fraud identified: - identifying and testing high risk journal entries through vouching the entries to supporting documentation; - assessing significant accounting estimates for bias; and

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing noncompliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

RAPE CRISIS ENGLAND & WALES

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

After consideration the trustees consider there are no estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities.

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

Charity information

Rape Crisis England & Wales is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (C.I.O), the registered office is Suite E4, Josephs Well, Hanover Walk, Leeds, LS3 1AB. Its governing document is its constitution adopted on 30th December 2013 and subsequently amended on 16th February 2016.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's constitution, the Charities Act 2011 and “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 from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £1.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The Trustees are constantly monitoring the financial position of the charity and the ongoing uncertain situation in respect of Covid-19. The charity has no borrowings, typically secures grant funding for longer than 12 months in advance and has a low level of fixed committed costs. Income secured after the year end has remained strong. Given this, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021

2 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Grants, including government grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised in the SoFA when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.

2.5 Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under the appropriate headings. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings (support costs) they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. The costs of generating funds include costs of generating voluntary income, plus a share of support costs. The costs of generating voluntary income do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities.

Charitable activities comprise those activities set out in detail in the Trustees’ Report.

Governance costs are those costs associated with the governance arrangements of the charity which relate to the general running of the charity. This includes external audit, insurance costs, legal advice for the trustees and costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements such as the cost of trustee meetings and preparing the statutory accounts, plus a share of support costs.

Support costs are those costs incurred in the support of the fundraising, governance and charitable activities which cannot be fully attributed. They have been attributed to activities as described in the notes to the financial statements.

2.6 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

2 Accounting policies

(Continued)

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.

If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(Continued)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

2.8 Taxation

Rape Crisis England and Wales is a registered charity and as such is a charity within the meaning of schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010. Accordingly, it is potentially entitled to tax exemption under part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 in respect of income and gains arising.

2.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2.10 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2.11 Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense ona straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
