TRUSTEES REPORT

The Trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's governing document 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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016).

Objectives

The aims of Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC) are:

Vision

Our vision is a county where women and girls, men and boys can be free from the fear and experience of sexual violence, rape, and sexual abuse.

Activities

In order to achieve our charitable aims and meet our public benefit responsibilities our activities are focused on the provision of a range of services to local survivors of sexual violence, rape and childhood sexual abuse. Our services are open to young people 14+ and any adult who has suffered sexual violence, whether recent or historic, regardless of sex, sexuality or gender identity.

These activities include risk and needs assessments, face to face counselling, virtual counselling, and therapeutic group work including mindfulness courses, drop-in support, email and text support, telephone helpline and practical advocacy. We also undertake safeguarding, signposting and referral and support of partners, families and carers who are non-offending.

Our Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service provides emotional support, advocacy as well as support in understanding and navigating the criminal justice system process.

Support is available either from our centre in Northampton, in confidential on-line spaces or at a number of locations around the county, this is to ensure maximum accessibility.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Activities (Continued)

We undertake training and education within the community delivering into school settings, training professionals and running awareness raising campaigns to increase understanding of the impact of sexual violence and sexual harassment. We offer regular opportunities for Northamptonshire Police and other agencies to participate in our specialist ‘Understanding the Impact of Sexual Violence’ training.

This year marked our 35th Anniversary of service delivery and support to the victim/survivors of sexual violence, rape and sexual abuse across the County of Northamptonshire. We are extremely proud to be able to continue to provide this vital service to residents of Northamptonshire.

There is so much to be done to reduce the levels of violence that continue to be experienced across our county. We enter 2022/23 in a stronger position to take on this challenge with new projects and activities that will further raise awareness of the impact of sexual violence. We will continue to educate about how we together might work as a community to reduce this level of violence for future generations

Public Benefit

The charity continues to work to identify, develop and deliver services to victims of sexual violence. We have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. Our services and facilities are monitored and reviewed by the Board of Trustees to ensure they remain fit for purpose and are provided appropriately to enable the furtherance of the charity's objectives and for the public benefit.

CEO Service Quality Reflections

November 2021 saw the launch of the Rape Crisis England and Wales report ‘Holding it Together’, this highlighted the significant impact on operations across the network, and very much captured our experience in Northamptonshire of working through the pandemic. The report underlined the need for specialist rape support services, the challenge of finding new ways of working to deliver life-changing and life-saving services, and the need to meet new demand as well as deliver increased support to existing clients.

We navigated and continued to provide high levels of service throughout the pandemic, responding to the challenges outlined within the report. Throughout the year our counselling and drop-in services were delivered through our confidential on-line spaces. The backlog within the court service which was a result of closures due to the pandemic saw our Independent Sexual Violence work focus on continued emotional and practical support for those awaiting trial. Cases now taking on average as long as 3 years to complete. This put significant pressure on our ISVA service, in January 2022 we were able to appoint an additional part-time Independent Sexual Violence Advisor through support from the Office of the Police Fire and Crime Commissioner and a part-time Men and Boys worker funded by the Ministry of Justice to respond to continuous growth in demand in this area.

During the year the NRC structure was reviewed. We identified the need to further strengthen the team and appointed a new Service Development Lead in March 2022. This role will enable us to review and develop our client facing services, helping us move towards our service development goals. In January 2022 our Volunteer Coordinator moved to a new role, enabling us to assess how we will provide effective support to our growing counselling volunteer team which currently stands at 28. In response to the increase in demand for counselling we trialled additional sessional counsellors to support us in reducing our waiting list and time from assessment into counselling.

Our plans are to continue to offer high quality, secure and confidential online services, where this best suits the client’s needs. We aim to gradually return to face to face both at the Northampton hub and at confidential spaces around the County. We recognise that blending our face-to-face offer with on-line services provides us with more flexibility in the way we deliver our work creating opportunities to reach more clients.

We are members of the national organisation Rape Crisis England and Wales (RCEW) and our work is guided by RCEW National Service Standards, as well as our organisational membership of BACP.

Our dedicated small staff team, counselling volunteers and NRC’s board of trustees continue to work tirelessly to enable us to deliver our services, providing ‘best value’ for survivors of sexual violence and sexual abuse. Despite the ongoing unprecedented challenges NRC faced we continued to provide excellent and professional services to all our service users.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Our Services and Activities

We remain the only, free at the point of access, trauma informed specialist sexual violence service within the county offering support to survivors of sexual violence and sexual abuse, regardless of whether a recent or historic incident(s).

We continue to focus on making our services relevant and accessible to all survivors of sexual violence across Northamptonshire. The numbers accessing our services continues to grow with support being provided to over 800 local people, a 22% increase on the previous year.

During the period April 21 to March 22, we continued to deliver our core services, whilst reviewing our existing provision to identify how best we can support our growing number of clients and their increased complexity of need as we came out of covid.

Counselling

During the year we trained 7 additional volunteer counsellors to help us begin to meet this sharp increase in service take up. In addition, funding from the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner enabled us to meet some of the demand through securing additional sessional hours to bring our waiting list down. Our early assessment of self or professional referrals means that we can direct clients to other appropriate services if they are not yet ready to take up our specialist sexual violence support services. This helps us to keep our waiting lists at a manageable length, they currently stand at 131 again a consequence of the impact of the pandemic.

Drop-In Service

Throughout the pandemic we continued to offer our virtual drop-in on a Friday morning. This is a weekly service where women and girls can access confidential support in an informal and relaxed environment. We hope to re-launch this face to face in early summer 2022 following assessment of the suitability of our office space to meet the necessary health and safety requirements.

Each session is facilitated by trained professionals and provides a safe space to discuss specific issues, it is an opportunity to explore referral routes into the service to enable access to other specialist support. Clients can self-refer or be referre ~~d b~~ y local agencies, making this an excellent option for those who may be struggling with mental health issues or who are not sure where to turn for advice and support.

Independent Sexual Violence Advisor Team

Delays in the court process has further impacted clients seeking justice and support through the reporting and court process. Those involved in the criminal justice process are seeing delays of up to a year. We will continue to support these clients. Prior to the pandemic the support required would on average be delivered across 24 months, this has now increased to, on average, three years putting additional pressure on our Independent Sexual Violence Advisor service.

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Independent Sexual Violence Advisor Team (Continued)

To continue with improving our service development we will be exploring accreditation for our Independent Sexual Violence service in 2022/23.

Shout Up!

Investment from the Safety of Women at Night Fund (SWAN) enabled NRC to introduce Shout Up! to the county, increasing the skills of workers in the night-time economy to identify and respond to harassment and sexual violence.

Northamptonshire is the first region outside of Newcastle to roll out Shout Up! our training aims to make venues, bars and clubs safer places all for women and men creating a culture of zero-tolerance in their approach to sexual harassment.

The scheme is delivered by Northamptonshire Rape Crisis staff who are trained in understanding sexual violence and the impact of sexual violence and is funded by the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

Training

We continued to provide regular training to professionals in a number of settings. This included online training on the Impact of Sexual Violence to partners such as the Northamptonshire Police and VOICE (Victim and Witness Support). In addition, we have worked with secondary schools in the Kettering area to deliver training to students on understanding the impact of sexual violence and how to develop healthy relationships.

Partnership Working

Our staff team have continued their work engaging with local stakeholders on issues relating to sexual violence and abuse, to grow the profile of the work of NRC and raise awareness of the issues we work to tackle. As a countywide agency we work with partners across Northamptonshire.

Financial Review

Financial reports are prepared by the Office Manager and reviewed independently by external accountant, Paul Cummings ACA, partner of Cheney and Co.

The Financial position is reviewed monthly by the Treasurer and presented to Trustees at each bi-monthly Board meeting.

Principal sources of ongoing funding for the year have remained consistent with earlier years, with continued substantial support from the Ministry of Justice, West Northants Council, The Henry Smith Charity, Lloyds Bank Foundation and the Brook Trust.

Cost control remains strong with day-to-day resourcing optimised by a mix of full and part time employees and voluntary counsellors. The move to home working as a result of Covid-19 has enabled new technology purchased from Covid-19 support grants. One positive legacy of Covid 19 is our ability to now deliver services both online and face-to-face enabling clients with limited access to transport or care givers easier access to our services.

We remain grateful to all our independent funders, both locally and nationally, who have enabled the charity to continue to grow and provide essential services throughout this period of ongoing economic uncertainty.

Our unrestricted reserves policy is to hold between 4-6 months of expenditure, and this is monitored bimonthly by the Treasurer with regular updates provided at Board meetings. The reserves policy is reviewed annually alongside the presentation of the budget for the following year to assess if it remains appropriate for the current economic climate and NRC’s own circumstances.

The Year Ahead

We anticipate ongoing challenges in the year ahead as we anticipate the balance of returning to face to face, continuing to provide online counselling and support alongside managing increased numbers of clients.

Our focus remains on our four key areas to ensure our services are available to all who need them, both now and for the future:

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Governance

Northamptonshire Rape Crisis (NRC) was first registered as a charity in June 1987. In March 2014, the Trustees as the only voting members, converted NRC to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) which aligned with the organisational needs. The trustees have the discretion to accept as members any person over the age of 16 who supports the objectives of the charity.

The Board comprises up to a maximum of eight Trustees as defined under charity law and those serving during the year are listed on page 3.

During 2021/22 the Board met approximately every two months. Meetings were held both online and in person.

None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the Charity.

The governance framework comprises the systems, processes and internal controls in place to give assurance to the Board that the Charity is complying with the constitution and meeting the Charity’s aims and objectives.

The Board is responsible for the business of the Charity subject to compliance with the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 and the constitution for Northamptonshire Rape Crisis Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

Appointing trustees

New trustees are recruited by the Board based on relevant skills and experience. The recruitment process includes initial screening of CV’s, face to face interviews and attending two board meetings initially as an observer, respecting the confidentiality by completing an observer agreement. Suitable trustees are formally appointed at the full committee meeting. In accordance with the requirements of affiliation to Rape Crisis (England and Wales) 75% of trustees on the Board shall be women. In addition, the position of Chair and where applicable Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees must be women. All new trustees are provided with a copy of the constitution, the five-year strategy, annual operational plan and last Trustees’ Annual Report. Trustees also receive a copy of the Charity Commission guidance for Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate internal and external training events where these will facilitate their understanding of the role.

Leadership

Operational day to day management of the Charity is delivered under the direction of the CEO who holds significant experience and relevant specialised skills and knowledge for the key operational activities of the Charity.

Northamptonshire Rape Crisis Annual Report and Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2022

Page 11

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Organisation

The Board meets bi-monthly to discuss and approve all major strategic decisions and to review operational progress. An independent clerk minutes the meetings and the CEO attends all Board meetings to ensure a good exchange of information and communication between the operation and the board. During the year there are also strategic development days to ensure the strategic direction remains current and relevant.

Partnerships

NRC is based in premises provided by the office of the Northamptonshire Police and Crime Commissioner. This facilitates close working relationships with two other victim focused agencies located within the building: The Sunflower Centre and Voice for Victims. NRC’s role as a key partner and provider of essential support services is clear and together with Voice for Victims and The Sunflower Centre, the local highlevel domestic abuse agency, we have developed close working relationships with both agencies that benefit our shared client base.

NRC also works with Serenity, Northamptonshire’s Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) and is part of the collaboration: Northamptonshire against Domestic Abuse and Sexual Abuse (NADASA). Multi-agency work with both statutory and voluntary agencies continues on a daily basis to enhance the service available to our mutual services users across the county.

Risk Assessment and Risk Management

The Board has a fundamental role to play in overseeing the management of risk for NRC. To enable this, the Trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

The Board of Trustees regularly review the policies and procedures of the organisation in respect of good governance, mitigation of risk and public benefits and is confident that those in place are robust and reflect good practice. These procedures are reviewed annually to ensure they still meet the needs of the charity.

Budgetary Control and Reporting

Financial monitoring and update reports are produced monthly and presented to the Board every two months.

Northamptonshire Rape Crisis Annual Report and Accounts For the Year Ended 31st March 2022

Page 12

TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)

Employees

The company employs 8 full and part time staff together with an average of 28 volunteer counsellors.

Going Concern

The Board are of the opinion that Northamptonshire Rape Crisis Charitable Incorporation Organisation has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future with due consideration of the recent impact of COVID-19 where initially we saw a decline in clients seeking support. The Board, CEO and the staff team were aware of the increase in demand once we came out of lockdown, we anticipate the increase in demand for services over the next 1-2 years. Consequently, the Board continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Trustees’ responsibility in relation to the financial statements

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

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and applicable resources, of the charity for the period in preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the applicable Charites (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
