SIXTY-ONE TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Charity No. 1159302

Structure, Governance and Management

Charitable Status

Sixty-One is a CIO (number 1159302) registered in November 2014.

The Charitable Objects

The objects for which the Charity is established are as follows:

The objects of the CIO are the relief of those in need or hardship in Bristol and the surrounding region and in particular prisoners, ex-prisoners and those who are at risk of entering the prison system by (in each case in ways which are consistent with principles of the Christian faith); providing and financing a mentoring service to assist such persons in developing skills to improve their conditions of life and to advance their education; and promoting and financing such other charitable activities as the charity trustees see fit in order to relieve such persons from hardship and to improve their conditions oflife.

Trustees

The charity trustees meet at least four times a year to discuss and review the work of the charity. Any new trustees are identified by the remaining trustees. The Chairman of Trustees is responsible for the induction of any new trustee. New trustees are required to gain an awareness of trustees’ responsibilities, the governing document, administrative procedures, and the history and ethos of the charity.

Risk Management

The trustees have reviewed the major risks and there are systems in place to manage those risks.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees aim to keep a minimum of 3 months' forecast expenditure in reserves at all times, with an aspiration to achieve 6 months' forecast. Reserves at the end of the year were £139,930 (2023: £111,298), which is slightly less than the anticipated expenditure for the first 6 months of 2025.Overall, this is healthy financial end to 2024, with a modest building in reserves.

Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the reporting period

Sixty-One, like most charities working in the criminal justice sector, is dependent on voluntary funds. To this end we have a comprehensive and well established trust and foundation fundraising programme that accounts for most of our income. In addition we are well connected with the local community and raise significant funds from local groups and individuals - we have a long-term strategy of increasing this income over the next five years. These income sources have enabled us to operate with financial stability for the last decade.

SIXTY-ONE TRUSTEES REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Trustees Annual Report

Our Work:

Sixty-One supports people with a criminal conviction to lead meaningful crime-free lives. We do this by inspiring, enabling and supporting the local community to provide the relational and practical support people need in and on leaving prison.

We run two of our own projects, MentorMe and the Gift Projects. We also work in partnership with local groups, charities, organisations and businesses. Working in this way expands the reach of our support and creates a bridge between the prison gate and the community in which people leaving prison are expected to operate.

The majority of our work is carried out in the Greater Bristol area; however, some of our partnership activity has developed beyond Bristol to prisons nationwide.

Our Projects:

  1. MentorMe – Enables volunteer mentors to support people with a criminal conviction. Our team of four core staff recruit, train and support mentors, as well as identifying suitable mentees. The team work closely with prisons, probation, hostels, charities, churches and the wider community. This is our largest project, supporting 80 prison-leavers over the last year.

MentorMe also organises celebration events four times a year for our mentors, mentees, and staff and local groups. These events help to build a sense of relationship, community and connection and are key for people leaving prison in overcoming social anxiety, building confidence and finding acceptance and belonging.

  1. The Christmas and Easter Gift Projects - With the support of 12 local church groups, mentors, volunteers and the wider community, we enable over 1,800 people in our four local prisons to receive a bag of thoughtful gifts (one for every single prisoner). Through these projects we are also able to promote our other support services available to people in, and on leaving prison.

Our Partnerships:

  1. We partner with five local churches that run mid-week Hubs, providing a welcoming space for people who have left prison to meet together, share food, learn and volunteer.

  2. We continue to work with Rupert Vernalls, founder of the highly acclaimed MBA Academy. Having made his MBA Empowerment Course available to people in, and also those who have left prison, we continue to work with Rupert to greatly expand his Goal-Setting Workbook within UK prisons and to our mentors and mentees.

  3. We enable and support a local pastor and leader from the black community to run a Constructive Masculinity and Bee Keeping Course in HMP Bristol and in the community.

  4. We develop partnerships with local organisations, charities, churches and individuals. In this way, we can connect, refer and advise people across a range of interventions such as housing, employment, education, arts, music, volunteering, mental health and addiction.

10 Years of Impact

This year, we celebrated 10 years in operation as a charity. Consistency has a profound effect in an ever-changing world, especially for people who are re-settling in community following time in prison. With a sustained re-offending rate of under 2.6%, our years of experience, comprehensive training programmes and extensive community support mean that we achieve high levels of engagement from people in and outside of prison. More importantly, we see many lives changed in the process.

Our MentorMe mentoring programme, weekly community hubs and partnership projects all demonstrate that consistent behaviour over time helps foster reliability, sincerity, and accountability. Whether it’s fulfilling obligations, showing up on time for appointments, or maintaining relationships, these things demonstrate a lasting commitment to positive change on release.

To consistency, we have also added innovation, this year chairing city-wide strategic partnership meetings to develop closer and more joined-up ways of working between prison staff, business leaders, charities, rehabilitative projects, and people with lived experience. We have added a Goal-Setting Workbook to our offer, used by both mentors and mentees and made available in over 70 prisons nationwide through prison TV. We have provided bespoke training to organisations working with people with a criminal conviction and we have recruited 11 new Sixty-One volunteer Champions from our community who help to promote our support and expand community fundraising opportunities, further embedding our work within the Bristol community.

We’re excited as we head into our next decade as a charity, continuing to develop and expand our support for people with a criminal conviction. We, the trustees and team, wish to thank and recognise all of our supporters, partners, and volunteers, for making this work possible. Our final thanks go to the people who we mentor and support. They are the reason that we do what we do, and they continue to show incredible commitment and tenacity in living out a future that looks different from their past, demonstrating that change is possible and that their future is full of hope.

During the course of 2024, we achieved the following:

1This is based on a national first-year reoffending rate of 55%, which reflects the cross-section of mentees we work with; this includes repeat offenders, offenders on short sentences and offenders with addiction issues. 2 These figures relate to all of our mentoring relationships active at the end of 2024.

Wellbeing

3 The Spider assessment is an outcomes tool providing a score for each of 8 distinct areas significant to an individual's resettlement; therefore, enabling us to measure change in circumstances over the period between reviews. MentorMe uses it to measure change relating to: Accommodation, Education, Training and Employment (ETE), which we extend to include meaningful activity where this is more appropriate, especially in light of our older demographic, Physical/Mental Health, Substance Misuse, Debt and Finance, Significant Relationships, Attitude, Thinking and Behaviour, Engagement with MentorMe.

Statement of Public Benefit

The trustees have complied with their legal duty under the Charities Act to have regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. High reoffending rates of prisoners in the UK remain one of society’s most intractable problems (over 60% reoffend within two years), and this is continuing to have considerable negative impact, both social and financial, within families and communities.

Long-term mentoring of individuals as provided by the MentorMe programme, which starts from within the prison walls and continues through to successful reintegration into the community, is a highly effective model that can finally break this cycle (see outcomes above).

In addition, our wide-ranging contacts with the church network across the greater Bristol area allows us to be able to connect ex-prisoners with supportive communities that have been trained in how to work safely with them.

The independent National Audit Office estimates that reoffending costs the tax-payer £13 billion per year. Each prisoner who is sent back to prison costs the taxpayer around £65,000 in their first year if police, court, benefit and prison costs are taken into account, and £35,000 in subsequent years.[4] The work of Sixty-One therefore makes a tangible and significant contribution towards reducing cost to the public purse by reducing reoffending rates considerably.

4 This is based on a national first-year reoffending rate of 55%, which reflects the cross-section of mentees we work with; this includes repeat offenders, offenders on short sentences and offenders with addiction issues. It is based on a first-year reconviction cost of £65,000, which includes prison, police, probation, court and benefit costs. The commonly-quoted £35,000 cost of imprisoning a person just covers the direct prison costs.

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:

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that 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 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.

SIXTY-ONE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Sixty-One

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Sixty-One (the Charity) for the year ended 31st December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Charity 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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 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.

SIXTY-ONE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1 Accounting policies

Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost convention (except where otherwise stated in the accounting policy note) and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019, and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011.

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and 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 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The charity is a public benefit entity as defined under FRS102. The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties affecting the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern.

Income

Income from donations is included in income when these are receivable, except as follows:

I. When donors specify that donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods; II. When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Legacies are included on a receivable basis where charity is entitled to the income, it can be measured reliably and receipt is probable. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is not included in income but is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.

Investment income is included on a receivable basis.

Donations in kind comprise donated services where the costs are measurable and the services would otherwise have to be paid for to maintain operational effectiveness.

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised in the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure includes attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.

Raising funds

Raising funds expenditure include those costs incurred in seeking voluntary contributions, costs of goods sold and other costs which include the costs of running and participating in fundraising events and collections and cost of goods purchased for resale.

1 Accounting policies (continued)

Charitable Activities

Grants awarded are allocated to charitable activities.

Grants awarded are treated as expenditure and a liability in the accounts as soon as they become legal or constructive obligations. In the case of multi-year grant awards, the funding for all years is immediately recognised unless there are conditions which need to be met by the recipient to enable the release of subsequent years’ funding.

Governance costs

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity. Governance costs are included within support costs.

Allocation and apportionment costs

Certain expenditure is directly attributable to specific activities and this has been included in those cost categories. Other costs, which are attributable to more than one category, are apportioned across cost categories on the basis of an assessment of workload carried out from time to time.

Overhead support costs have been allocated between fundraising and publicity costs and charitable activities. The apportionment has been allocated on the basis of staff time and is analysed in note 7.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity contributes to defined contribution pension schemes. Contributions payable to the charity's pension schemes are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are held at cost less accumulated depreciation. Assets costing less than £1,000 are not capitali

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Designated funds form part of unrestricted funds and have been identified as being for particular purposes by the Trustees. They are not restricted and can be transferred to general funds at any time at the discretion of the Trustees.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in note of the financial statements.
