**STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE** Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
The Trustees present their report and unaudited financial statements of the charity 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **Public benefit**
The trustees report that the charitable activities, described in the “Mission statement”, “Activities” and “Achievements and performance” paragraphs, are for the public benefit. The trustees also confirm that they have complied with section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## **STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## _Governing Document_
Stand Against Violence was formed in December 2005 as a not-for-profit organisation and becoming a registered Charitable Trust in May 2010. On the 31st March 2014 SAV became a registered Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and has a governing document signed by all active trustees. The CIO governing document sets out the powers and responsibilities of SAV and its trustees.
## _Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees_
When recruiting trustees the charity advertises the vacancies and the skills/ experience we are particularly keen to enhance within the charity. We welcome trustees over the age of 18 from many different backgrounds and different skills and experience to contribute to the charity.
Applicants are asked to send a CV, which is reviewed at the monthly trustee meetings, and after short listing, the potential trustees are informed and an informal interview is held. They are offered the chance to attend a trustee meeting to see how we operate and if both parties are satisfied then the applicant is asked to join the board and must sign and adhere to the CIO document.
All trustees are required to be proactive contributing to managing and running the charity and supporting with fundraising. We aim to keep the board as mixed as possible both in ages, skill and knowledge. We have a particular interest in people with backgrounds in education, management and business, law, criminal justice, youth work and health care.
A trustee position is voluntary and generally not paid. Expenses are claimed in accordance to our CIO document at the discretion of the individual trustee. Our CIO document allows for the employment of trustees providing it is in the best interest of the CIO, the board are in unanimous agreement, and the majority of the board do not benefit in this way. Currently the only employed trustee is the CEO. To avoid any conflict of interests the CEO is expected to leave the meeting if discussion involving payments and performance is taking place. If the trustees feel there are any other potential conflicts of interest they can request for the CEO to leave the room.

## _Trustee Induction and Training_
New trustees are invited and encouraged to attend an introductory meeting to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These are led by the Chair of the board of trustees charity and cover:
- The obligations of Management Committee members.
- The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the CIO document
- Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts.
- Future plans and objectives
- Business plan
- Anti-bribery information
The Charity Commission’s guide “the Essential Trustee” is distributed to all new trustees along with the CIO document and latest annual report including financials.
## _Risk Management_
The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed. They have reviewed those risks and established systems and procedures to manage them appropriately.
A risk assessment template has been designed and approved by the board and these are completed for our activities. Low risk activities can be signed off by a direct line manager or a single trustee. Medium to high risks require board sign off.
A risk register for all long term risks i.e. the office environment is also maintained and reviewed annually. A trustee is allocated the role of managing and reviewing all risk assessments.
SAV holds an organisation risk register to look at wider risks to the organisation and makes every effort to mitigate these risks. This is reviewed at each trustee meeting.
SAV has appropriate insurances in place including public liability and employer’s liability. We also have in place a number of policies including:
- Child Protection
- Equal Opportunities
- Health and Safety
- Data Protection and Security
- Code of Conduct
- Volunteering
- Problem Solving
- Expenses
- Schools working
## _Organisational Structure_
We aim to maintain a board of between 6-10 trustees. The board must always maintain 4 trustees to adhere to our governing document.
Trustees meet quarterly and hold an annual general meeting which is promoted for supporters to attend.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Purposes and aims**
Our object:
‘To promote good citizenship amongst young people so that they may grow to full maturity as responsible members of society by such means as the Trustees consider appropriate. In particular to discourage them from anti-social behaviour and violent crime by making them aware of its consequences, in order to reduce and prevent future violence.’
‘To promote good citizenship amongst people living in England and Wales particularly in relation to the reduction and prevention of violence and improving safety in communities by such means as the Trustees consider appropriate.’
The Trustees have complied with their duty in section 17(5) of 2011 Charities Act (public benefit) and have had due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit when organising the activities of the Charity.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
SAV uses regular evaluation and an appropriate evidence base to evaluate the effectiveness of our work. Feedback forms from young people and teachers/adults inform the development and improvement of our work and ensure we are achieving our objectives.
## The focus of our work
We aim to reduce violence in the UK through education and raising awareness of the consequences of violence. We will do this through:
- Educational workshops with young people
- Criminal justice workshops
- Raising public awareness
- Community training
## **HOW OUR ACTIVTIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT**
Our results consistently show:
- A statistically significant impact on changing attitudes, with pupils less likely to choose violent means of conflict resolution.
- Positive changes in young peoples’ attitudes towards violence
- Young people exposed to SAVs workshops are less likely to resort to violence as a means of conflict resolution.
- The impact of SAV’s work is sustained over 6-8 weeks after delivery of our workshop.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## _Principle funding sources_
SAV secures income in the following categories:
- Trusts and grant funding
- Donations
- Fundraising activities
- Service charges
- Sponsorship and corporate support
This year our main funders have been:
- Sedgemoor District Council
- Bridgwater Town Council
- Quartet Community Foundation
- Avon and Somerset Police Violence Reduction Unit
- Greater Manchester Violence Reduction Unit
- Bath and North East Somerset Violence Reduction Unit
- Somerset Community Foundation
- Taunton Womens Aid
- Patrick Trust
- Pat Newman Memorial Trust
- Bath and North East Somerset Violence Reduction Unit
- Somerset Community Foundation
- - Rowan Bentall Trust
Income in the year was £148,834 (2021: £129,339). £49,876 (2021: £84,252) of income related to project restricted activities received during the year.
Expenditure during the year amounted to £217,492 (2021: £117,136) of which £186,601 (2021: £97,878) was spent on charitable activities.
A deficit of £68,658 (2021: surplus £12,203) was made in the year. At 31 March 2022 total reserves were £96,156 (2021: £164,814) of which £54,986 (2021: £101,237) represented unrestricted funds.

## **Going concern**
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to the events or conditions that may cast doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of the period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issues of the financial statements.
Since the year end, the charity has not reached its budgeted income targets, we surmise that this is due an ongoing challenging funding climate and a reduction in community based events, and therefore we are currently running at an in-year deficit. The trustees are assessing and taking appropriate action to reduce expenditure in line with income levels of the last year, as well as looking at ways to increase income through continuing to grow a sustainable income stream through our training services. In 2022/23, we took a social investment loan. This unsecured loan provided by Resonance and the Somerset Community Foundation is dedicated to the development of a sustainable income stream through the creation of broader training services to the community and business sectors. A sustainable income stream has been needed for several years in order to reduce our dependence on grant funding. Developing this new income stream also prevents the need to increase our charges to youth organisations which would hinder our ability to deliver our core charitable object due to a challenging funding climate faced by the youth sector. We believe that investing in this area remains our greatest opportunity for long term sustainability and avoiding repeats of this last year where income from grants has been significantly reduced.
The trustees have concluded that, although the current circumstances are not favourable, appropriate action is being taken and that the charity will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there is no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
## **INVESTMENT POWERS AND RESTRICTIONS**
The Charity has adopted an investment policy which minimises financial risk to the Charity, while producing potential for capital growth over the long term. Under the memorandum and articles of association, the Charity has the power to make any investment which the Trustees see fit.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
Stand Against Violence is required to ensure that free monies are available in each financial year to meet any reasonable foreseeable contingency. The charity will maintain a projection of income for at least 3 months ahead and will ensure that this continues to be derived from as wide a variety of sources possible. They will take all necessary steps to ensure that at no time within this period would it be possible for the cessation of one or more funding streams to present so serious a challenge to the future of the organisation that it could not be managed so as to continue to meet the objectives of the charity.
In reviewing the potential costs that could arise should a significant reduction in income be incurred the Trustees have determined that ‘free’ reserves should be maintained which is equal to the contractual liabilities of the company.

## **FUTURE PLANS**
In 2022-23 SAV will continue to work towards its vision of working in communities throughout the UK. We will be focusing on expansion of youth deliveries to reach greater numbers whilst developing brand awareness across the UK, with focus on saturation of Somerset and surrounding counties. We will also be working to improve sustainability through community and corporate training income and growing our fundraising income. We will continue to focus on our long-term succession planning for the future of SAV over the next three years.
## Vision Statement
“Working in communities throughout the UK to give people a chance to live in a world without violence.”
## Mission Statement
“Stand Against Violence will be leading provider through lifelong learning of violence prevention services in England and Wales. Through the delivery of high quality, innovative and evidence-based learning that encompasses the diverse nature of a community. We will ensure we have a voice at all levels to influence agendas and create positive change to attitudes towards violence. We will work with other agencies who share our values and strengthen our impact.” **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with 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).
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

**STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE** Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not comply with these records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair view” which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
## **1 Accounting Policies**
## 1.1 **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements 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) – Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
Stand Against Violence fulfils the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## 1.2 **Going concern**
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to the events or conditions that may cast doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of the period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issues of the financial statements.
Since the year end, the charity has not reached its budgeted income targets, we surmise that this is due an ongoing challenging funding climate and a reduction in community based events, and therefore we are currently running at an in-year deficit.

## 1.3 **Income**
Receipts are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when; the charity becomes entitled to the resources; the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Page 15
**STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
## 1.4 **Interest receivable**
- Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## 1.5 **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## 1.6 **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Raising funds is expenditure incurred in generating funds from fundraising activities carried out by the charity.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the direct cost of work with service users and other activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
- Governance costs comprise of all costs incurred in running the charity itself as an organisation, and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
- Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity categories on a basis consistenet with the use of resources.
## 1.7 **Tangible Fixed assets**
Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets over their estimated useful lives at the following rate:
Furniture 4 years straight line
Fixed assets are valued at cost less depreciation. Fixed assets are reviewed annually for impairment.
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost. No assets are capitalised costing under £1,000.
## 1.8 **Debtors**
Accrued income comprises amounts due from funders and is recognised when the charity is entitled to the grant, receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Prepayments arise from the payments for services prior to benefit from those services. Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## 1.9 **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

**STAND AGAINST VIOLENCE** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2022
## 1.10 **Creditors**
Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Trade creditors are recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. Accruals are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event and will be invoiced post year end. Deferred income is recognised where the charity has received funds in which the charity is not entitled to at the year end.
## 1.11 **Taxation**
As a registered charity, the charity is not liable to corporation tax or capital gains tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only.
The charity is not VAT registered and therefore any VAT is added to the relevant cost and charged as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## 1.12 **Pension contributions**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The scheme and its assets are held by independent managers. Contributions are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities in the period in which they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
## 1.13 **Financial instruments**
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows:
Financial assets – trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
