Review of activities and developments

Hollie Guard

Hollie Guard is our personal safeguarding app and turns your smartphone into a personal safety device. If ever you feel threatened, you can send out an alert by either shaking your phone or pressing the icon button. Once you activate an alert, your location along with video and audio evidence is automatically sent to your nominated emergency contacts. The app is widely used by victims of domestic abuse and/or stalking to help them feel safe and report incidents. Hollie Guard also has many features that make it suitable for general use, such as; travelling to and from school/work, walking alone at night, attending meetings alone, going out for a run and many more. It is a safety device available to anyone – free of charge. Key features of the app include:

The number of people downloading and using Hollie Guard is growing rapidly and the Hollie Gazzard Trust is constantly developing the service in conjunction with PanicGuard to ensure its functionality is fit for purpose. The Crown Prosecution Service has declared that the data that Hollie Guard holds is admissible evidence in court.

Hollie Guard Extra

As well as all the features of Hollie Guard, users can choose to upgrade their service to Hollie Guard Extra, a service through which an alert response centre will monitor any alerts triggered 24/7. The monitoring centre will determine a suitable response to the alert, which could include calling the emergency services on the user’s behalf. Individuals can upgrade through the app on a monthly or annual basis. In addition, annual subscriptions can now be purchased through Amazon.

We are continuing to work alongside various police forces, local authorities, businesses, and charities to provide Hollie Guard Extra to help safeguard individuals. As of 2023, we have partnered with 9 police forces across the country to provide Hollie Guard Extra. In total over 4,000 codes have been purchased and assigned to various individuals including lone workers and victims of domestic abuse and stalking.

Nottingham Trent University Evaluation

The students evaluated our Sexual Harassment Active Bystander workshop to compress down to an hour session we could deliver in schools. They came up with various recommendations and found some new and relevant statistics which were very insightful. We were then able to use some of the work they completed to help us to create an hours of Active Bystander session and an hour Sexual harassment Active Bystander session to deliver in schools which we broke down into KS3 and KS4.

Finances

The trustees monitor the financial statements through the trustee’s board meetings. Accounting statements and bank statements are provided for monitoring. The reserves policy is reviewed at each meeting and will be adjusted accordingly to business needs.

Events

We have held our four main events for the year as well as attended various events such as the Knife Angel in Gloucester to help to raise awareness of what we do and to also raise vital funds. We have held:

Purple Hollie Day went well, with lots of schools and businesses participating. We expect this to become a much bigger event and to grow each year now that we have been into more schools, colleges and businesses as we will get them involved alongside the corporate ambassador programme that is blossoming.

The Golf day went well and sold out quickly. This year it was organised by Kirby & Knott which we have been working closely with and have been giving us lots of support! It was enjoyed by all and a few teams booked in for the 2023 golf day straight away!

We ran the Walk4Hollie from the Glevum again this year with some new merchandise for sale. The weather was fantastic for us being warm and sunny which meant we had a good turn out and the event was enjoyed by all.

Training and Education

In the United Kingdom, domestic abuse is thought to cost £14 billion in lost economic output due to decreased productivity, administration difficulties from unplanned time off, lost wages and sick pay. Working Without Fear is a tailored programme of workshops designed to show employers the vital role they play in safeguarding their employees against domestic violence & abuse, coercive control and stalking. We help them to do this through training, education and raising awareness. The Working Without Fear programme is delivered by the Charitable Trading Company and supported by Gloucestershire’s Police and Crime Commissioner.

We have delivered workshops and training on raising awareness in educational facilities and businesses on; Hollie Guard, Stalking, Healthy Relationships, Coercive Control, Sexual Harassment Active Bystander and Knife Crime. With increasing demand, we have now employed another team member to assist with training.

We have delivered to 12 schools across the country, repeatedly at some and we have attended numerous well-being and freshers events. An exciting project that has

We have also been invited to speak as part of training sessions delivered by other organisations such as foster carers, women’s groups, and police training days, as well as being asked to speak on various media outlets – the Netflix documentary that we were asked to be part of aired in February which further raised awareness of the issues Hollie faced and resulted in an influx of people reaching out.

Details of Future Developments

The promotion of Hollie Guard and Hollie Guard Extra with Police forces will continue. Hollie Guard Business is still being rolled out to the business community to help businesses comply with the various Health & Safety and the new domestic abuse act. We have had various companies take on Hollie Guard Business and renew again this year.

The commencement of a new project, Hollie’s Project provides a hub for training and education, as well as a working hairdresser, based on a social enterprise module. The hub would aim to bring together administration, training and hairdressing, providing a community resource with a focus on keeping people safe. This will be a huge development for the Trust and ensure a place in the community with the potential of developing in other areas. This is still on hold for now as we develop in other areas and navigate the current economic climate.

The team have been working hard in creating an Ambassador Scheme which is a great way for local businesses to give support to the Trust, whilst mutually benefitting from being part of the Scheme. By setting up a monthly charitable donation (recognised as a charitable donation for Corporation Tax Purposes), businesses can join a community of like-minded people, all aligned to the aims of the Trust, ultimately helping to reduce the instances and impact of domestic abuse and stalking, through our collective work.

With Corporate, Not-For-Profit and Retail Ambassador Schemes, there is a tailored package for most types of business. Benefits of joining the growing community of Ambassadors include discounted access to various training workshops (Active Bystander, Working Without Fear, Healthy Relationships) delivered by the Trust, regular Ambassador networking days, and much more. 3 types of Ambassador Scheme are now live:

Corporate: £100 per month on recurring Direct Debit Supporter: £600 per annum invoiced (typically) Retail: £25 per month on recurring Direct Debit

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 30 April 2023

1. Accounting policies

Charity Information

Hollie Gazzard Trust is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales.

The registered office is Corinium House, Barnwood Point Business Park, Gloucester GL4 3HX

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the trust's governing document, 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)" (as amended for accounting periods commencing from January 2016). The trust is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.

The trust has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Updated Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations, but which has since been withdrawn.

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trust 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.

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in the furtherance of their charitable objectives.

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 of the financial statements.

1.4 Incoming resources Income is recognised when the trust is legally entitled to it after 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 trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

1.5 Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocated to the applicable expenditures headings.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures & Fittings 25% straight line Equipment 25% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting date, the trust reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets 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

1. Accounting policies (continued)

1.9 Financial Instruments

Financial instruments are recognised in the trust's balance sheet, when the trust 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 the 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.

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 values of the future payments, discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. 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. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the trust's contractual obligations expire, or are discharged, or cancelled. 1.10 Employee benefits The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. 1.11 Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charges as an expense, as they fall due. 2. Critical accounting estimates and judgements In the application of the trust'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 many differ from these estimates.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees

for the Year Ended 30 April 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Hollie Gazzard Trust (the trust) for the year ended 30 April 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the trust you are responsible for the presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the trust's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume any responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the Trustees, as a body, for my work, or the options I have formed.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the trust's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in the section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and the Institute of Financial Accountants, which are both listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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 trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

2) the financial statements do not accord with those records: or

3) the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of 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.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable to in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for the reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in the report, in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
