## Trustees Report 2021… 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. 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 2015). 

In our busiest year yet the Charity continues to learn to live with Covid, maintaining a flexible approach to ensure services continue to run, and to a high standard. Our resilience has indeed been tested, but our defences have held because of our amazing volunteers, staff, and supporters – Thank you. 

In line with our reflective practises, we have trialled new programmes, including a monthly virtual drop-in for young people and, virtual summer support group – in response to beneficiary feedback asking for support through the long summer holidays. The Charity has also responded to local need after a marked increase in referrals for children and young people bereaved by suicide. In 2019, 4 beneficiaries were bereaved by suicide, growing to 20 within 2020. Very sadly, this year we have supported 37 children and young people in this group, including a postvention in-school support programme for 13 young people. 

In addition to an increased workload, we have also moved home. You will now find us on site with Westlea Primary School and we are immensely thankful to the Head, Sarah Sumner, and her team for such a warm welcome into their community. Our new premises has provided a safe and supportive environment for our groups, assessments, offices, and facilitated the delivery of our professionals training too. Through our specialised training and support, Wiltshire Treehouse has improved the understanding of childhood bereavement of over 390 professionals such as teachers and mental health support workers. The impact of this has the potential to improve the lives of over 50,000 children and young people. Highlighting the reach and impact that our services can have. 

But we couldn’t do it alone, so in my closing statement, I would like to again express our gratitude to the volunteers and staff who give their time and hearts to our organisation. And to all those who have donated funds to allow the Charity to continue our vital work with vulnerable children and young people.

## The Grainger Family ... 

Through recommendations, I got in touch with Wiltshire Treehouse, for guidance on how to support Evie and Theodore after their Dad died. Their response was quick and extremely helpful. Not only did they give me **invaluable advice, they also communicated with Evie’s school** so that we were all supporting her together. After Christmas I knew it was time to get in touch with them again and were offered a place on their family programme “A Day to Remember!”. 

Before the day, Evie attended an assessment, it helped to get a better understanding of where Evie was emotionally and also gave us a chance to meet before the day. It also gave me **a chance to ask more questions on how best to support** Evie in the meantime as she was really struggling at this point. Rachel gave us lots of information about the day and we left knowing what to expect. 


## **Well, we have just returned from “A Day to** 

**Remember“ and were blown away.** We met others suffering bereavement similar to ours, completed craft activities to remember our loved ones, there were opportunities for the adults to share their experiences whilst the children were busy taking part in other activities, and a wealth of advice and support for the future. Wiltshire Treehouse created a safe space for the children to learn about their emotions and to share special memories about their loved ones. 

**Today was the first day I have seen Evie talk about her daddy** in front of a group of people. Today she found the courage to say what emotions she has been feeling these past few months and **spoke fondly of the wonderful things that reminded her of her daddy.** Evie has not been able to communicate these feelings to me successfully since Ben died. 

**I am so proud of her,** and I honestly feel that Wiltshire Treehouse gave her the tools, and the safe space, to be able to do this! Now I know I haven’t mentioned Theodore in this day, this is because it’s for children aged 6 to 11. However, this does not mean he won’t benefit. Not only do **I have tools, strategies and activities that will help support** him, I also know that there is this amazing charity who I can call, message or email for any advice at any time! I also know that when he turns six, who I would choose to support him if needs be. 


**Wendy is amazing, not only has she been through a bereavement herself and supported her children. She has also completed the 9-Peaks Challenge, climbing the UK’s highest mountains of England, Wales & Scotland to raise funds for Wiltshire Treehouse.** 

**We cannot thank her enough and it has been a pleasure to support her and family along their journey.**

## Our Mission… 

At Wiltshire Treehouse, we believe every child and young person should have access to support during their grieving process. We enable those in our local communities to improve the coping strategies, skills and confidence needed to better manage daily life. 

## History… 

In 2001 Swindon hospital were providing support for siblings of children being cared for at the Children’s unit. By 2003 there was an increased demand, and the Rainbow Club was launched. With further increase in need, our founders guided by Child Bereavement UK (CBUK), started exploring ways of providing group support. Wiltshire Treehouse was born in 2014, assisting bereaved children, young people, and families within Swindon. 

## The Need for Wiltshire Treehouse… 

In the UK alone, a parent of a child dies every 22 minutes; that’s around 23,600 deaths a year and equates to around **111 children bereaved of a parent every day** . 

- ➢ **5% of children** will have **experienced the death of a parent or sibling** before age 16. 

- ➢ **92% of children will lose someone important** to them. 

- ➢ At any one time, **around 70% of schools have a bereaved pupil** in their care.[(CBUK, 2016)] 

In line with these statistics, Wiltshire Treehouse continues to see a demand for services, with an average of 10 Swindon referrals received monthly. Most recently we have seen an increase in requests for support from Wiltshire families outside of Borough where access to bereavement support for children is limited. 

For the Children and Young People supported by Wiltshire Treehouse, all are subject to increased life challenges because of their bereavement. Research highlights that bereaved children can experience significantly worse mental health concerns compared to their peers, a high proportion experience poor physical health, reduced educational attainment and social outcomes if not provided with appropriate and timely support. A quote from a parent sums up the struggle bereavement can bring, but also the hope that support from Wiltshire Treehouse offers. 

“She experiences times of feeling sick and not wanting to partake in activities, she is unable to say why she feels sick or if she is upset to say why. For her to know this is normal and to gain tools on how to manage this going forward, will hopefully help with her anxiety”.  NEST parent. 

## Statement of Public Benefit… 

When planning the activities for the period, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and other matters. The charity operates throughout Swindon & Wiltshire, providing bereavement support for children and young people.

## Our Services… 

Wiltshire Treehouse staff and volunteers are committed to providing robust high-quality programmes and services to best support the vulnerable children, young people, and families we serve. Using a holistic group work approach, we aim for 3 key outcomes for all beneficiaries: 

- I. Improved Emotional Literacy: Understanding grief and the feelings, thoughts and behaviours that result. 

- II. The ability to openly talk about the loss and those who died: Increasing the ability to maintain a healthy ‘enduring connection’ and engage in meaningful interactions relating to the deceased – including every day and therapeutic conversation. 

- III. Improved resilience: Learning coping strategies to help manage a life with grief, now and throughout the transition to adulthood. 

To ensure the best possible outcomes for the children and young people we support, the charity works on a self-referral system. Once a referral is received, we make contact to gain further insights to the needs of the child(ren) and family. Sometimes this is all families need to feel empowered to support themselves, but if more assistance is required, we will set up an assessment. Here we meet in person or via web meeting to further understand the needs of the child, introduce a key member of staff to the family and ensure we are the right service to support their bereavement journey. The following programmes of bereavement support are offered: 

Family Group: Our children and family programmes benefit those 6 – 11 years of age, focusing on developing emotional literacy, with the aim to provide coping strategies. We help children and their families to manage the challenges following bereavement. Developed by Child Bereavement UK, this quality assured service has successfully improved lives of children and their families for 25 years. 

NEST: Developed by our volunteers who have personal experience of bereavement at a young age, these groups support young people aged 12+ coping with the death of a loved one. Run by skilled and experienced staff and volunteers, groups focus on helping to remember the person(s) who has died, identifying complex feelings, and exploring a range of techniques and strategies to help manage these feelings and situations that may cause difficulties. 

A Day to remember: A condensed programme, designed by Childhood Bereavement UK, that covers the key elements of our Family Group programme. We support families in an intensive day of self-development and learning, focusing on the key outcomes for all beneficiaries. 

Professional Training: In addition to directly supporting beneficiaries, Wiltshire Treehouse knows that a child-centred approach is key. Therefore, we also support a variety of professionals with responsibility for the wellbeing of Children and young people. Through delivery of training, we aim to improve their understanding of childhood bereavement, improving their ability to support in the immediate, short-term, and long-term. At any one time, over 70% of school communities in the UK include a bereaved child. We believe that all professionals working with children and young people benefit from a better understanding of childhood bereavement.

## Specialised training and development of volunteers: We could not deliver any 

of the above activities without the support of our committed and generous volunteers. To ensure they are equipped to support our beneficiaries; we ensure that they receive specialised bereavement training delivered by our partner CBUK and most recently that covering children and young people’s responses to bereavement by suicide. Our volunteers are offered supervision for them to be able to discuss and share their feelings and be able to continue the valuable support they offer. That our project officer is a former volunteer is testament to the rewards our volunteers experience know that they’ve helped children and young people struggling with the impact of bereavement on their lives. 

Bespoke Support: This year the charity has seen a marked increase in the number of children and young people negatively affected by suicide, with figures rising to 37 children and young people affected, in comparison to just 4 in 2019. In response to need we implemented a bespoke support programme for young people and have written new training to improve understanding around death by suicide and the impact this has upon children and young people. 

Organisational Changes: In 2021 the Board of Trustees commissioned an independent 

‘health check’. In response to the recommendations and findings, it has improved it’s own working, including clarifying roles and responsibilities and the efficiency of it’s meetings. Most significantly, it agreed changes to the structure of the Charity to reflect its growth.  Wiltshire Treehouse has developed as an organisation significantly and Trustees agreed that their roles should shift from direct management to one that is more advisory. In doing so, we appointed two directors one with responsibility for service delivery and the other for business, policy development and fundraising. We were delighted to appoint Kath Brownlee and Sarah Gillam for these roles respectively and that the Charity is flourishing as a result. 

## Our Response to Covid-19… 

Wiltshire Treehouse responded swiftly and innovatively to the Covid-19 pandemic. Within weeks we had realigned our resources with the needs of grieving families, and we continue to evolve to meet the changing landscape as the pandemic continues to unfold. We’ve learnt from the delivery of our new models and have improved our services because of this experience. The Charity continues to utilise online meetings and communications. However, we are mindful of the Teams/Zoom fatigue, and therefore, where safe, have resumed face to face meetings following all necessary protocols, with the option of remote services for those who would prefer this. 

Whilst all face-to-face programs are now re-established, we are mindful of the potential disruption that covid related sickness can have on the charity. As a precautionary measure we have reviewed our contingency policy and remain ever dedicated to the health and wellbeing of the whole team and beneficiaries we support. 

## The Journey ahead… 

In 2022 we aim to use our time to reflect and recover from the impact of the pandemic. The whole team have continued to work hard, whilst mitigating the impact of covid related absences and responding to increased pressure due to demand. Our passion to support children and young people never wavers, but we are also mindful to ensure we spend time with those volunteers who allow us to keep support going. We thank them for their dedication and commitment to our values and to all our volunteers we are eternally grateful.

We welcomed Rachel Clarkson our new project worker to our team. She is an experienced volunteer with a passion for supporting bereaved children, young people, and their families. We are so very pleased to benefit from Rachel’s experience. In addition, we have taken time to reflect on the processes that run behind the scenes and would like to give special mention to our administrator Gemma Stanley for all her hard work. Whilst many of our beneficiaries will not meet Gemma, all will have been in contact with her through our emails, letters, telephone system or by making a referral. This wonderful lady has worked tirelessly to streamline our referral system which has had a huge time-saving implication and in turn cost-saving – Thank you Gemma. 

Our planned outputs for the year are similar to 2021, but there is uncertainty as regards the demands on our services. The addition of our new project worker provides the charity with increased capacity to flex and meet additional demand as needs be. 

The year ahead doesn’t look easy, and we continue to work through the impact of covid. Yet once again we are reassured of our ability to rise to the challenges presented, with a strong and cohesive team dedicated to improving the lives of bereaved children and young people.

## Achievement and Performance… 

## Financial Review: 

In 2021, total income was £73,829 (2020: £88,483). Expenditure increased to £82,256 (2020: £58,557). As expected, our most significant expenses were staff (£61,667) service delivery (£2,851) resources and equipment (£1,301), training and supervision (£1,089) and general expenses including insurance (£13,434). The unrestricted deficit of £7,920 has decreased the General Fund to £65,213 (2020: £73,294) but is still considered to be a sufficient level to provide financial stability for the charity.

## Reserves policy: 

Wiltshire Treehouse holds reserves to ensure a continuing service to clients. Our aim is to retain a minimum reserve of three month's operational costs; allowing the Charity to close should it be necessary, without adversely affecting the service to families in receipt of support and meet liabilities to creditors, staff notice and redundancy costs. Our reserves policy is reviewed annually to take account of any change in circumstances. Within 2022 we will continue work to increase our reserve position, from 3 to 4 months, aiding our organisation to become increasingly robust within a challenging climate for charities. Moving into 2022, the agreed amount to be held in reserves is 3.5 months and must not be below £32,118. 

## Fundraising Report: 

Donors to Wiltshire Treehouse can be assured that we comply with the regulatory standards for fundraising. Whilst not registered with the Fundraising Regulator; due to our small size and income, we are committed to the Fundraising Promise and adhere to the Code of Fundraising Practice. This report covers the requirements charities must follow as set out in the Charities Act 2016. 

During 2022 our charitable bereavement services received £68,078; made up of 89% from Grants and Foundations, 4% donated by corporate partners, 7% from fundraising efforts, including seeking donations and gifts, running events and household waste recycling schemes. We received less than 1% (£325) from the Swindon Community Lottery. 

Where businesses or individuals fundraise on our behalf, we work to ensure that the correct safeguards are in place. To do this we require confirmation of compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice. To further aid this process, we have also developed a fundraising brochure to help all groups and individuals wishing to fundraise on our behalf. As per best practice, our complaints policy is available upon request or can be located on our website. Wiltshire Treehouse operates a “complaints friendly” environment and greatly regrets if we do not meet the expectations or needs of beneficiaries and supporters, we always welcome and respect feedback. 

## Structure, Governance and Management… 

## Governing document:

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Wiltshire Treehouse** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Wiltshire Treehouse for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, and the related notes. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act'). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements 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** 

I have completed my examination. I can 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: 

• the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

• the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

• the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
