## **ACTS FAST** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 2 April 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 2 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

The Trustees would like to acknowledge that the previous accounts (2022/23) were submitted to the Charity Commission late. Following a period of change to the leadership team and challenges exasperated by Covid-19. 

A new leadership team is now in place bringing stability to the organisation. This coincides with updates to the trustee procedures and membership board. A whole charity review supported by Community Action Network and the appointment of a Finance Officer to support the CEO. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

ACTS FAST was founded to relieve the distress by supporting the non-abusive families, parents, carers of children who  have been affected by sexual abuse, sexual assault and/or by the viewing of indecent images of children. 

## **Significant activities** 

The Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in all meetings and all Board correspondences in planning our activities for the year. 

ACTS FAST delivers this service by providing a 3-tier support package. 

The initial support is with our psycho-educational Trauma Support Service. This is to aid the client to reach a manageable level of stability from the shock and trauma after hearing of the disclosure of abuse and/or receiving 'the knock' ('the knock' is the time when the Police arrive to arrest/detain a person for suspected viewing of indecent images of children). 

Next, is a 24-week counselling service with an expert Trauma Counsellor. This is offered free-of charge to our clients to enable all who need the service access to it without the fear of financial hardship. 

Finally, harking back to our roots (as we started as a support group) and after conducting a pilot programme, from Oct 2022 we now offer a facilitated peer support group for clients who have gone through our Trauma Support and Counselling. The main aim is to have a greater impact on reducing the feelings of isolation or of 'being the only one', therefore by conducting an expertly facilitated group and creating a safe place for clients to meet can be done. To enable the implementation of our Brighter Futures Project we received full funding from the People's Health Lottery. 

"I understood, for the first time I think, that I wasn't alone, isolated with this." 

ACTS FAST continues with its open-door policy, meaning once a client has left they can always return if they find they need further support. 

"At present I feel more able to cope but life always brings challenges so in the future I may need to turn to the charity again for support." 

"This is a very special place for parents dealing with these traumatic events - a lifeline for life really."

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 2 April 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

We have a policy on grant making within our policies and procedures, which sets out our aims and rationale around grant making and how funds should be used within the CIO. We continue to seek charitable funds from donors in order to fulfil the objectives of the charity. We continue to support our volunteers with regular clinical supervision, informal support and  social activities (such as occasional social events). Building a friendly and supportive environment is an important part of our organisation. 

ACTS FAST continues to be a "force for good" in the local and specific community of families who have been affected by CSA. The charity continues to carefully steward it's resources in such a way to maintain maximum benefit for those it  serves. There is a transparent culture of integrity and there is a high degree of focusing resources on front line client support. 

We value our wonderful volunteers; they are an invaluable and integral part of the running of the charity. Volunteers support ACTS FAST delivery of services, such as our counselling service and supporting our face to face emotional and practical support sessions, along with helping us to promote the charity. They play a key role in helping ensure we safely and appropriately support both clients and the collective team.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Throughout the year 2022-2023 we have received excellent on-going support from our Community Action Network Team (CAN), Survivors Trust, The National Lottery, the DPCC, and the People's Lottery, to enable us to face challenges, and positively facilitate changes and improvements to the staff structure and service delivery. 

ACTS FAST has also had the privilege of being nominated as the Charity of the Year by the New Chairman of the Blandford Masonic Lodge and CAN Hero of the Month for September 2022. 

ACTS FAST have continued throughout this process with the close involvement of the Board of Trustees and with our main funder The National Lottery. This close supportive relationship was particularly evident when the Chair of Trustees stepped into the day-to-day running of the office whilst awaiting the appointment of our new CEO Manager. Due to the Chair of Trustees managing the office Aug-Dec 2022 until the New Manager was appointed in January 2023 there was an increase in the travel expenses budget and a decrease in the CEO/Manager salary during this period. 

This period gave a great opportunity for the Board to have an intimate daily hands-on review of the running of the office. This enabled us to access, plan, implement and evaluate current practice and initiate changes - part of which has been the funding of a full external audit, increasing our employed team and reviewing ACTS FAST's office location. 

Changes made to the staff numbers and personnel have strengthened ACTS FAST ability to meet the expectations of staff, funders, the Board, and services to our clients. This has also led to implementation of clearer boundaries of peoples' job roles and responsibilities, opening further pathways of communication from staff to the Board, and improving the flow of  our services to our clients. 

We have welcomed a new Therapy Manager, a Therapy Lead for our Brighter Futures Project and employing our bookkeeper. By internally employing our bookkeeper we can enhance and improve the gathering of financial data, the format, presentation of our accounting model and the use of financial forecasting. 

As part of our continued IT and Comms development we have continued to transfer our data to a secure electronic database system and have been able to extrapolate more details from our client base and how we are achieving our aims and objectives. From April 2022-March 2023 we have seen a total of 74 clients (64 F, 10 M). 

The location of the office itself was reviewed regarding accessibility. Being rural there are difficulties with accessibility via public transport and we are located on the first floor with only stair access. The other properties available during the review were either on the high-street, or within business parks. All would have increased our rent on average by 50%. Plus, due to the nature and sensitivity of our clients, having a more public location could have impacted our clients' privacy. To mitigate these issues clients are offered to be seen online or we can hire a private safe space nearer the client where they can meet in-person closer to their location.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

Total income for 2022-2023 was £142,965 - an increase of 32.5% on the previous year. 

Total expenditure for 2022-2023 was £90,773  - a decrease of 15.4% on the previous year. 

With the National Lottery's continued support another £75K for 2023-2024 and the brought forward £49K we enter 2023-2024 on a positive footing. 

At the year end 2023, the charity had reserves totalling £67,318 (2022 - £15,126) of which £25,684 (2022 - £5,197) were restricted balances. Free reserves (defined as total funds less any restricted balances or fixed assets as applicable) at the year end totalled £41,634 (2022 - £9,929). 

The strategy is to review the Reserves Policy parameters and increase the targeting of unrestricted funding/donations/sponsorships and to continue to review existing expenditure. 

As Acts Fast is growing with staff and client numbers the financial reserves figure is also increasing. Along with the strategy already mentioned above, and by employing our bookkeeper we now have the added ability of forecasting and streamlining our path towards achieving 100% financial reserves in realistic terms. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Acts Fast Reserve's Policy is for the Reserves to be built up to cover 6 months of operational costs. 

This is reflective to give stability and cover for our greatest time which is our counselling service at 24 weeks. Our Brighter Future Peer Support runs for 16 weeks, and this ends at the end of the programme. Whereas we do give flexibility for our clients receiving Trauma Support Service. Initially this is set for a 6-week period with the added benefit of being able to be expanded as the client needs evolve over time/circumstances. 

The 6-month reserves policy is in place as our vulnerable clients need the time to either complete their counselling sessions or have the time, with our assistance, to find another suitably trained Trauma-Informed Counsellor to see them safely through their journey. 

The Charity is growing, and the monies raised came pre-dominantly through restricted grants. 

## **Going concern** 

ACTS FAST does not charge clients a fee for our services as we want our services to be free and available to our clients regardless of their financial ability to pay. We do accept donations from clients. 

ACTS FAST is heavily reliant upon on grants, particularly the National Lottery, to financially support the running of the office and services. We are in our second year of a three-year programme of financial support from the National Lottery. The strategy for 2023-2024 will see a significant rise in match-funding with the exploration of other funders and fundraising, e.g., through challenge events. 

Also, to remain experts in our field, we will continue to maintain, strengthen, and develop robust relationships with partner agencies, e.g., universities, local councils, police, and sexual assault referral clinics. And to continue to develop and enhance our support and encouragement for ACTS FAST staff, volunteers, and trustees with their CPD. 

## **A description of the principal risks facing the charity** 

The principal risk to ACTS FAST would be not securing the financial revenue to provide our expert service and keeping it free to those that need it at the time they need it. 

" - " Again, thank you for providing this very bespoke support it really has been fantastic.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of ACTS FAST** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of ACTS FAST** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of ACTS FAST (the Trust) for the year ended 2 April 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts 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. 

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.
