## a EEO TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 ee ## Achievements and performance (continued) b. Review of activities Who we are: Balloons provides pre and post-bereavement support to children and young people (aged 5-25) and their caregivers in Exeter, Mid and East Devon. We also provide advice and training to professionals working across a range of disciplines. Research clearly indicates that the death of a significant loved one is a critical, traumatic moment for children and young people (C&YP). Unsupported C&YP have poorer health and educational outcomes, are more likely to enter the criminal justice system, have higher teenage pregnancy rates, are more prone to a range of psychological disturbances. Balloons support mitigates against these negative health, educational and sociai outcomes. Our Vision: That bereaved C&YP have somewhere to turn when someone significant in their lives dies. ## Our Mission: To support bereaved C&YP in our area when someone significant in their life dies. To work alongside their families and the professionals who provide care to them to further enhance the support they receive. ## Our overall social objectives: - That death is talked about more openly and the taboo around death is lessened - That grieving is seen as a natural process which is part of the human condition - That the grief experienced by C&YP is honoured and respected and families and communities are better able to support bereaved C&YP * That bereaved C&YP are more resilient and have enhanced coping strategies ## Our Values: 1. Open, reflective and responsive: delivering a service which centraily positions the needs and concerns of bereaved C&YP and creates a safe space for them to process grief, remaining dynamic and responsive and 2. Compassionate: ensuring that bereaved C&YP are treated with dignity and respect and listened to without | building a bespoke and creative support package | judgement | 3.

Over 60% of our work is when a parent or primary carer dies.

Training for partners and local agencies - we provide childhood grief training for schools, GP surgeries, police, youth offending teams, hospices etc., equipping those agencies with the skills and knowledge to better support grieving C&YP and their families. This means that our work doesn't just impact on individuals and families, but also enables changes in the communities that C&YP live in. ## 2020: Whilst 2020 started with business as usual, it didn’t stay that way for long. The COVID-19 pandemic broke in March 2020. We were suddenly catapulted into a new state of being and needed to quickly adjust to restrictions and closures whilst still trying to provide a different but nonetheless meaningful service. Along with many others, we immediately faced several huge challenges: - + A fundraising crisis, as all our fundraising applications were paused, our fundraising events cancelled and our corporate donors unable to support us in the usual way - Service suspension, as schools and colleges where we provide most of our support were closed - The need to quickly and carefully develop new ways of delivering services, which would still enable vital support to reach bereaved C&YP and their families - * The need to set up new ways of working and of managing and supporting staff and volunteers Our work is in bereavement care, and C&YP and their families across the country were enveloped in a public discussion about death, dying and bereavement that is unprecedented in our post-war society. As the death toll rose and continues to rise, services like ours became vital sources of support and guidance, and this work continues as the impact of the pandemic is more widely felt. This, of course, is a necessary but very painful process as we come to terms with the huge loss of life. Behind each number is an important individual story of grief that will have a profound impact on the bereaved and those around them for many years to come. These are the stories we hear every day, and it is a privilege to do so and to be able to offer our support at such a difficult time. | am incredibly grateful to the staff team, my fellow Trustees and the Balloons volunteers, who pulled together | quickly and with a spirit of generosity and empathy, to continue to provide support to grieving C&YP. grieving C&YP were not lost, whilst also ensuring we were making wise, ethical and sustainable decisions about | We took a phased approach to the adaptation of our services and aimed to be fast and flexible with this, so that | ; service adaptation. | As we adapted our services, we consulted with several stakeholder groups: | ¢ Families accessing our services | ** ProfessionalsOther charities — — schools,hospices,police,child socialbereavement services, charities,healthcarecancer servicessupport charities | Phase 1 (end of March to May) — the development of our mentoring service for caregivers and our coaching service for professionals so that they can in turn support grieving C&YP.

Lots of what she has learned is now being used with other pupils as well. It's been great, but we can’t wait to get you back on site as well!’ Partner Primary School Headteacher Throughout our service adaptation process, we kept our core values and ways of working forefronted. This is crucial so that we continue to deliver a service that genuinely meets need, that considers clinical safety and best practice, and which always has an eye on safeguarding. We were particularly aware that when we were working with families during the first lockdown, the children were not being seen by school staff on a regular basis as normal, and safeguarding issues could easily go unnoticed. We therefore repeated safeguarding training for all staff and volunteers (via Zoom) and adapted that training where needed to consider our current service model and the current situation for C&YP. At all times we have kept abreast of research findings to build our understanding of how the pandemic might impact our client group. Our core business is bereavement, and of course we were in a time of unprecedented bereavement. We noted that whilst in the grip of the pandemic, grieving C&YP were often experiencing the following: - «A re-triggering of grief - C&YP bereaved of parent, sibling, friend, grandparent etc. will have grief memories re -triggered and may experience a new bereavement — that their loved one isn’t with them at this unprecedented time. - + A different level of trauma attached to the bereavement - may not be able to say goodbye, robbed of mourning rituals and routines — school, visiting grandparents, sense of - ‘why us?’, ‘why now?’. Under normal circumstances we turn to others for support. We gather with friends and family to cry, share happy memories, offer care and support to one another. The pandemic has wreaked havoc on these rituals. - * A heightened fear of losing those they love - along with the viral pandemic comes a pandemic of fear. New rituals — ‘don’t touch’, ‘stay away’ — replace ‘let me give you a hug’. This leaves bereaved children vulnerable and afraid. - « A witnessing of the deterioration of good mental health in their caregivers, who are also bereaved and grieving, and not coping as well due to the pandemic. - Increased feelings of isolation - one of the greatest challenges of grieving in the age of COVID-19 is isolation Grief is an isolating experience under normal circumstances, but social distancing and quarantine have made the process lonelier still. ‘In my grief support we looked at ways to manage my anxiety better and not let it be so difficult for me, like sleeping better and things like that. Even now| still use my sleep routine before bed as it helps me to get better Sleep. | do it without thinking now’ Balloons Service User The world around us has undoubtedly changed dramatically but we have responded with adapted services and an unwavering spirit to do the best we can. We have changed too and when the time is right, we will be able to pause and reflect on all we have achieved and decide which new ways of working we will take forward and which were just temporary to adapt to extraordinary times. ‘ en | i Page 5 | # BALLOONS (DEVON) (A company limited by guarantee) ## aii TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 ## Achievements and performance (continued) ## 2020 Service Statistics: - We responded to 490 enquiries regarding post-bereavement support - We responded to 53 enquiries regarding pre-bereavement support - We delivered 331 hours of telephone support - We supported 59 C&YP in 1:1 support - We coached 17 professionals to in turn support grieving pupils ~ We mentored 21 caregivers to in turn support grieving children ~ We sent out 134 care packages ## Grief Support Worker Volunteers: ‘Volunteering for Balloons has always been really important to me, but now it feels more important than ever. Children who are bereaved in the pandemic face a more complex range of issues and grief responses. It is more important than ever that | do my bit, volunteering for this wonderful charity, so that grieving children have the best possible chance to thrive’ GSW Volunteer Throughout the ‘life cycle’ of volunteering for Balloons, time and care is given to ensuring that the volunteers feel valued and held in their volunteering experience. We know that if we can build the best possible volunteering experience, then individual volunteers will enjoy their volunteering and stay with us for longer — so a win win! ; Our dedicated team of Grief Support Worker volunteers were of course hugely impacted by the pandemic as everyone was and continues to be. At the outset of the year, we had a team of 52. We had built up this team over many years and were very proud of our high levels of volunteer engagement and satisfaction in the | volunteering experience. In many ways this is what stood out to the Queen’s Award representatives when they carried out their assessment and ultimately presented us with our award for volunteering. Of course, at the start of the pandemic and in the first lockdown, many of our volunteers took time to adjust to the changes in their | personal life and their family life. | Our annual volunteer survey showed high levels of satisfaction despite some volunteers having to step back to | take on caring responsibilities in the pandemic.

Hannah also has years of experience of volunteering for different charities. We welcome the fresh perspectives and the expertise that John and Hannah bring to the Board. 1 know how lucky I am to work alongside such a dedicated and experienced team of Trustees. | Page 6 # BALLOONS (DEVON) ## (A company limited by guarantee) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 ## Achievements and performance (continued) ## Balloons Staff: From March 2020, everything changed as the pandemic took hold and the first lockdown was announced. We repositioned staff to working from home and set up appropriate communication and supervision structures to manage remote working. | want to pay a debt of gratitude to our small staff team, to Sara Bennett, our CEO and to Liz Cook and Donna James, our Clinical Managers, who continued to diligently work in the best interests of our client group despite the challenges. We were very excited to welcome our new Office Manager Clare Hammond in July 2020. What a time for Clare to start a new job, but luckily Clare had been volunteering for Balloons for six years previously, so knew us well. Clare has already shown what an asset she is to Balloons and has risen to all the challenges of managing the administrative functioning of the charity in such remarkable times. Balloons Funding: As always, we are extremely grateful to everyone who supported us this year, and full details can of course be found in our accounts. We pride ourselves on managing to deliver big services on modest amounts, and this has been true this year more than ever. . | Most importantly, we came to the end of our three year grant cycle with the National Lottery in August 2020, and we thank them for their support and their belief in what we do. | At the time of writing, our CEO is working hard to identify a main grant giver going forwards, and we are doing all we can in the meantime to draw in smaller but significant amounts of funding from a variety of sources. | A huge thank you to those corporates who were still able to work alongside us despite the difficulties they faced in the pandemic. ## Reflections: We are incredibly proud about so much during such a turbulent year, and draw your attention to: | Keeping going — this has surely got to be our biggest achievement in 2020, that despite everything, despite all | the challenges and all the setbacks and despite being exposed to the very raw pain of the pandemic through our | work — we just kept going, and never once closed our doors even for a day. | Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service — the MBE for the voluntary sector, it forms a lasting tribute to the | dedication and excellence of our volunteering team. It's just a pity that we won it in a year when we couldn't | attend the usual celebratory events, but we did host a fabulous Zoom party! GSW Volunteers — we have had so many challenges in 2020, when our volunteer's lives were turned upside down and the volunteering opportunities we would normally offer were no longer possible in the same way. One of our key successes this year has been in the engagement strategy we have rolled out so that our volunteers continue to fee! they are of value to us and they want to maintain their commitment to volunteering for Balloons, even if they can’t do that right now. Trustee Board — inducting our new Trustees at a time when we couldn't meet up and it was challenging for them to feel engaged with us as a charity — but we made it work. Staff Team — our focus in 2020 was on supporting staff to adjust to huge changes — home based working, different service delivery adaptations, receiving managerial supervision and support remotely etc. There have been moments when this has been hugely challenging. No one could have guessed that we would be working in the field of bereavement support during the time of a global pandemic. A big achievement has been to keep the team motivated, supported, and able to function, and attention has been given to staff wellbeing and emotional support. | | **----- Start of picture text -----**

Keeping the focus on safeguarding whilst we adapted our clinical models of service delivery was at times very complex. We are proud that this has continued to be a high priority for us. ## Financial review ## a. 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. ## b. Reserves policy Our Reserves Policy is carefully considered and reviewed on a regular basis, and the Board of Trustees considers it appropriate to maintain reserves at levels equivalent of up to 12 months expenditure (£180,000) in line with Charity Commission guidance on best practice. The impact of Covid on our financial position means that we have fallen below this level with total reserves at the year end of £134,994 (2019 - £184,548). The Trustees immediate priority after the delivery of our services to an appropriate standard remains ensuring that the financial position of the charity is sufficient for us to continue as a going concern. The majority of our remaining reserves continue to be classified as unrestricted, which allows the charity to control how and when this is spent in accordance with its charitable objectives. Those funds received and classified as restricted funds continue to be spent in accordance with the terms agreed with the funder. Our 2020/21 budget indicates that we have a funding gap of over £126,000. Our Chief Executive has worked hard to address this gap and we have already had success through significant grants from BBC Children in Need and Global’s Make Some Noise. We are undertaking scenario planning and seeking to understand the financial options available to us in the event that our income and reserves look like they are unable to cover unavoidable expenditure in the next 12 months. Whilst we are taking a prudent approach, we remain positive that Balloons will successfully navigate the financial challenges thanks to the generous support of all our funders and the great work of the staff team, ## c. Principal risks and uncertainties The Trustees regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Pay policy for key management personnel # BALLOONS (DEVON) (A company limited by guarantee) ## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 ## d. Review of 2020 The Statement of Financial Activities shows total income received for the year to 30 November 2020 of £110,951 (2019 - £173,327) with total expenditure for the year of £160,505 (2019 - £195,300), to generate a deficit of £49,554 (2019 - £21,973). The charity began the year with reserves of £184,548 and and ended the year with reserves of £134,994 of which £Nil (2019 - £54,037) was restricted and £134,994 (2019 - £130,511) was unrestricted. The impact of Covid significantly impacted our income streams. A large part of Balloons funds come from the financial generosity we receive from companies and individuals. A great many of those companies have themselves struggled this year and they have been unable to support us financially. Additionally, our financial support from companies and individuals is often generated by fundraising activities; the lockdown has curtailed many of the activities that would otherwise have occurred. We remain grateful for all the income we have received during this year, and for the National Lottery grant, which in this year represented the final year of our three year funding agreement. We have survived the year thanks in part to our prudent reserves policy, which allowed us to build up sufficient cash reserves in prior years to help us weather financial storms, although we did not foresee this particular storm coming. We also cut our costs significantly this year. The £160,505 we spent this year contrasts with the £195,300 we spent in the prior year. Part of the reduction in spend was a natural consequence of our inability to perform some of the activities that we would undertake in a normal year, however we also reduced our spend where we could. In particular we had to make some difficult decisions around two members of staff who were appointed just prior to the pandemic in order to safeguard the future of the organisation. Most of the charity's expenditure is accounted for by the salaries of our small team required to support and oversee our team of volunteer grief support workers. Other overhead costs remain relatively low, with office rental and service costs being the next largest category of expenditure. Our Finance sub-committee continues to meet regularly to review the finances and ensure the charity is operating both efficiently and within an appropriate environment of financial controls. The impact of Covid on our financial position caused us to increase our meetings frequency at times, in order to continue to monitor and take action where required. The Trustees are responsible for recruiting and appointing staff with the relevant skills and experience to deliver executive roles as required. Key management personnel receive regular appraisals. | | Page 9 BALLOONS (DEVON) (A company limited by guarantee) ## TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 ## Plans for future periods We expect the ripple effect of the pandemic to be huge. Death and dying is now part of our daily conversation and we run the risk of C&YP who are bereaved being overwhelmed. Researchers are starting to explore the ‘pandemic’ of current unmet need that we will need to face once the Covid pandemic is ‘under control’. Specialist support for C&YP to process, unpack and understand their grief will be hugely important as part of our collective recovery. What we have always held on to throughout this terrible global public health emergency is that it is an absolute privilege to support those impacted by bereavement in such unprecedented times. ## Statement of Trustees' responsibilities The Trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 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 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 then apply them consistently; ° observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102); - ° make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - ° state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards (FRS 102) have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; - ° prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. | . oo The Trustees are 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 for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Page 15 | | | | | | | | BALLOONS (DEVON) (A company limited by guarantee) aa a a tl NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 1. General information Balloons (Devon) is a charity, limited by gurantee, incorporated in England and Wales. It does not have share capital and each of the Trustees in liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. The registered office address is Basepoint Business Centre, Yeoford Way, Marsh Barton, Exeter, Devon, EX2 8LB. ## 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. Balloons (Devon) 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 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. 2.3 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. | Page 16 BALLOONS (DEVON) (A company limited by guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2020 | of three three months or less from less from from the date of acquisition acquisition or opening opening of the deposit or the deposit or deposit or or similar account. | 2.7 Liabilities and provisions and provisions provisions | Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a a past | event, it is probable that a a transfer of economic of economic economic benefit will will be required in settlement, and the amount amount | of the settlement can be estimated settlement can be estimated can be estimated be estimated estimated reliably.

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. **|** | | Page 17 2. Accounting policies (continued) - 2.3 Expenditure (continued) - All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. - 2.4 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. - 2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation Tangible fixed assets costing £250 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, on a reducing balance basis. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Office equipment - 15% reducing balance 2.6 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 three months or less from less from from the date of acquisition acquisition or opening opening of the deposit or the deposit or deposit or or similar account. 2.7 Liabilities and provisions and provisions provisions Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a a past event, it is probable that a a transfer of economic of economic economic benefit will will be required in settlement, and the amount amount of the settlement can be estimated settlement can be estimated can be estimated be estimated estimated reliably.

Accounting policies (continued) ## 2.8 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. ## 2.9 Pensions The Company operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Company to the fund in respect of the year. ## 2.10 Fund accounting General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.
