3. Chair Report
Dear Supporters and Friends,
As the Chair of TimeNorfolk's Board of Trustees, I am pleased to share with you our progress over the past year.
TimeNorfolk remains a cause close to my heart. Our vision to
provide support to those who have suffered the loss of a pregnancy, baby or who are facing difficult pregnancy choices is one that I am deeply passionate about. This passion is shared by all of our trustees, staff, and volunteers and drives us to do all we can to support those in need.
I am particularly proud of our team, who have shown remarkable dedication and resilience over the past year in the face of the challenges posed by the cost of living crisis and aftermath of the global pandemic. They have worked tirelessly to ensure that our vital services remain available to those who need them, despite the financial pressures and logistical obstacles.
Looking ahead, I am confident in our future plans. Our strategic plan, developed with the input of our trustees, staff, volunteers, and clients, provides a clear roadmap for our direction over the next three years. Our focus on expanding our support to a younger demographic, increasing our presence in Great Yarmouth and ensuring that our services reach a diverse population, will enable us to continue to make a real difference to the lives of those we support.
As we move forward, I am excited about the future of TimeNorfolk and the positive impact we will continue to have in our community. I am grateful for the ongoing support of our donors, partners and stakeholders and I look forward to continuing to work together to achieve our shared mission of ensuring that no one faces a pregnancy loss, baby loss or a pregnancy choice without genuine compassionate, professional and client-centred support.
With warmest regards,
Martin Spaul, Chair of Trustees

4. CEO Report
Dear Supporters and Friends,
This year has been an incredible journey, as we’ve enjoyed the highs of a new Norwich hub and the lows of saying goodbye to some of our excellent volunteers. We’ve heard the positive impact our support has made and experienced the sadness of the stories our clients share with us.
Alongside many charities, TimeNorfolk has faced concern over rising costs, reduced income and increasing pressure on mental health services. Despite these additional pressures, I am proud that TimeNorfolk has stood strong in its mission and valued its duty to support those who are bereaved by pregnancy loss at any stage, baby loss, or faced with the challenge of pregnancy choices.
Our strategic plan has been in development with trustees, staff, volunteers, clients and key stake-holders. Together, we are shaping the direction of TimeNorfolk for the next 3 years. As a result of observing and investigating the need for our support in Norfolk and Waveney, we have decided to focus on these 4 key areas going forwards:
Counselling:
Last year we recruited and trained 8 new volunteers with 7 going on to support clients. They’ve become a valuable part of the TimeNorfolk family and we continue to grow together in best practice, supporting our increasingly diverse client group. Moving to our new hub in Norwich has more than doubled our ability to see clients face to face. Although online support remains key in our service delivery, we’ve welcomed 50 clients a week into our hubs in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn.
One story that impacted me this year is that of client who experienced an ectopic pregnancy. The client said: "I found myself at a loss. I fell into a depression and my marriage ended". Reflecting on her TimeNorfolk sessions, the client shared: "counselling helped me to understand myself, build relationships and embrace what I have experienced to make me who I am".
Community:
Community is important to our clients, volunteers and staff. This year we piloted a peerled support group, recognising the value in those with lived experience supporting each other. I’m pleased to watch this develop, as we plan to support six peer-led groups over the next 3 years.
For counsellors, we launched an online noticeboard, which serves as a way of creating unity and sharing supportive resources.

Last year's Doorway Of Hope service at Norwich Cathedral was a beautiful memorial to the babies that have been lost. This deeply moving service reminds us of the importance of our work, and the real lives impacted. We hope to initiate a memorial service at Great Yarmouth Minster to enable a space to grieve and remember in unity.
Education
We have been intentional about working collectively with mental health and bereavement professionals. In addition to our annual Baby Loss Awareness Training Day, we introduced a new workshop in partnership with the University of York titled “Understanding Grief: An Exploratory Workshop”. The success of this workshop, in addition to having our voice as part of the Norfolk and Waveney Bereavement Network, has contributed to strong local connections with Norfolk and Waveney referral pathways and appropriate sign-posting agencies.
Advocacy:
I’ve had the privilege of representing TimeNorfolk at the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Baby Loss, including discussion with Donna Ockendon on the vital need for bereavement midwives. It was also a welcome opportunity to participate in the launch of the 'Perinatal Loss Proficiency Framework'. Client voice is essential to developing services and I’m excited to see this area grow, as we advocate on key issues in maternity support and recommend areas for development in policy and practice.
This year we welcomed an Inclusivity Project Lead to expand the reach of our support in Great Yarmouth. With the current refugee crisis, our new partnerships in this area are key to us fulfilling our mission to ensure that all are welcomed to come as they are, with their grief, concerns, hopes and fears.
With our strategic plan in place and a dedicated team of trustees, staff, volunteers, donors and partners, TimeNorfolk is well-positioned to meet the needs of its clients in the years to come. Thank you for your support and dedication to our work. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
Best wishes,
Fiona Gosden, CEO of TimeNorfolk

5. Our work
Counselling - professional wellbeing support delivered in one-to-one or group settings
At TimeNorfolk, we offer one-to-one counselling sessions as well as counselling for couples and groups. We have a team of 25 compassionate counsellors, who all create a safe and confidential space where clients can feel heard, supported and understood. Our counsellors undergo specific training to understand the issues that face our clients and are either fully qualified counsellors, or working towards a degree level counselling qualification.

Community - increasing our presence outside our hub walls
We believe that community support is essential to wellbeing, which is why we strive to increase our presence outside of our hub walls in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and Kings Lynn, to provide opportunities for those with similar experiences to connect and support each other.
Our efforts to build a stronger community are centred on four key initiatives:
Annual Services of Remembrance
We recognise the importance of remembering and valuing those we have lost. That is why we hold an annual service of remembrance.
Peer Support Groups
We understand the importance of connecting with others who have shared experiences. That is why we are working to activate six volunteer-led peer support groups throughout Norfolk and Waveney.
Network Development
We believe that collaboration is key to building a stronger community. That is why we are actively developing our network with empathetic organisations and groups throughout Norfolk and Waveney.
Engaging New Demographics
We recognise that there are many individuals and communities who may not have access to the support they need. To address this, we are actively working to engage new demographics, including men and LGBTQIA+ individuals.
TimeNorfolk | Annual Report 2022 - 2023
Page 8
Education - sharing our unique knowledge and expertise
We believe that education is a powerful tool for change, which is why we offer a range of education and training initiatives to support individuals, workplaces, bereavement, health and wellbeing professionals.
Training for Wellbeing, Health and Bereavement Professionals
We believe that it is essential to build the knowledge and skills of health, bereavement, and wellbeing professionals to support individuals and families affected by pregnancy loss, baby loss, and pregnancy choices. To this end, we offer bi-annual training for professionals who wish to develop their knowledge and skills in this area. Our training covers a range of topics, including grief theory, traumainformed care and self-care for professionals.

Advocacy - representing client voice and story
We're dedicated to ensuring that experiences are heard and valued. We believe that our client's experiences can help influence the support and services that are available in the future.
Our advocacy work is centred on the belief that everyone has the right to have their voice heard and their experiences valued. We strive to empower individuals to express their concerns, opinions and experiences and to use their voice, joined with ours to advocate for change.
Healthcare:
Our work includes representing client voices to key stakeholders including NHS and government bodies at a local and national level. We believe that it is important to bring the voices of those we support to those who can implement positive change, and we are committed to doing so in an effective and respectful manner.
Online:
We recognise the importance of a strong online presence in our advocacy work. We are actively developing our social media and online presence to reach a wider audience and amplify the voices of those we support.
Awareness:
We participate in national awareness activities, such as Baby Loss Awareness Week and TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons) Awareness Day. These activities provide an opportunity to raise awareness about the issues that affect our community.

6. Financial review
TimeNorfolk aims to maintain unrestricted Financial Reserves equal to six months of unrestricted expenditure. This would provide sufficient funds to cover all costs of the charity which may arise. As at 31st March 2023, total unrestricted reserves were £66,106 (2022: £64,907). Of these, £nil (2022: £nil) has been designated for specific purposes by the Trustees. Restricted funds, as at 31st March 2022, totalled £74,112.

Develop a network of bereavement organisations, working in partnership to provide training and networking opportunities.

8. Public benefit
Statistics
The following charts provide an insight into how the charity has grown and developed over the 2022/2023 Financial Year and have been put together from statistical information from TimeNorfolk’s Client Management System. The Trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties.
Volunteers and Student Counsellor volunteers
TimeNorfolk’s work is mainly carried out by 25 committed volunteers who are responsible for delivering the aims of the charity alongside the seven staff members. The charity would not be able to continue as it does without the support of its volunteers and the charity is hugely grateful for their dedication.
Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the Financial Statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going-concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.

11. Concluding
statements
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of TimeNorfolk for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each Financial Year. Under company law, the Trustees must not approve the Financial Statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period.
In preparing these Financial Statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities’ SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK 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 charitable company will continue in business.
The Trustees are also responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies’ Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Time Norfolk ('the Company')
I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Company's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
This report is made solely to the Company's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Company's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1. General information
The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The Registered Office address is 8 Chalk Hill House, 19 Rosary Road, Norwich, NR1 1SZ.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Time Norfolk meets 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.
2.2 Going concern
The Charity has been fortunate enough to have been awarded funding by Norfolk Consolidated Charities and Norfolk Community Foundation, alongside other grant providers, and donations. With this in mind and after making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the accounts. For this reason, the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.
Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.4 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.
Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 Interest receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Company; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £100 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.
Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 33% straight line |
|---|---|---|
| Office equipment | - | 33% straight line |
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and 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.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.10 Financial instruments
The Company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
