Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

Structure, governance and management

The organisation is a Charitable Company, Registered with the Charity Commission 1160516 and the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator SC046247. The charity operates under its' Articles of Association and a Memorandum of Agreement incorporated on 18 September 2014 and is governed by a board of volunteer trustees.

Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Directors

The Board of Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity and are drawn from various backgrounds to provide the expertise needed to guide the charity. The Trustees employ an Executive Director and staff to carry out the aims and objectives of the charity on a day to day basis. Trustees meet regularly to guide the development, make strategic and policy decision, hold the Executive Director and staff accountable and manage any major risks to which the charity may be exposed.

Board Induction and Training

New Trustees attend several meetings before formal co-option to the board to gain an understanding of the organisation and are required to read polices and procedures as part of their induction. Training is decided on, depending on the skills and experience of the individual trustee, in conjunction with the chair.

Risk Management

Risk management is a standing agenda item at trustee meetings where any major risks to the organisation are considered and mitigating actions are decided upon.

Organisational Structure

The board of trustees assume ultimate responsibility for the organisation. The chair manages the executive director, to whom some powers are delegated to ensure the smooth running of the organisation. The executive director manages the staff team, meeting individuals regularly for supervision sessions and annual performance review which includes setting of targets for the coming year. Staff manage volunteers, providing guidance, training and support as necessary.

Objectives and activities

UK SMART recovery is a science based programme to help people manage their recover from any type of addictive behaviour, providing support meetings both in the community and at some service providers who work in partnership with the charity.

The organisation provides training on line and face to face, manuals and other training materials and support to those who wish to facilitate UK SMART Recovery meetings to support people seeking recovery from addictions.

UK Smart Recovery

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

The companies objects, as defined in the Memorandum of Association, and with consideration to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit, are for the public benefit to advance health and save lives, including, but not limited to, the relief of person with problems caused by any type of substance or activity dependence by:

 Relieving the sickness and distress of those members of society whose development and participation in society is impaired by such dependence;

 Educating the public about, and promoting a better and more sympathetic understanding of, the causes and effects of such dependence; and

 Advocating for a greater choice in recovery options available to those suffering from problems caused by any type of such dependence.

The organisation meets its aims and objectives through providing a training programme to support people who wish to abstain from an addictive behaviour accessed at mutual aid meetings. Individuals are empowered to build and maintain motivation to abstain, cope with urges, manage thoughts, feelings and behaviours and create a well-balanced life. There are similar programmes aimed at individuals whose addiction has brought them into contact with the criminal justice system, and for the family and friends of the person with an addiction.

Achievements and performance

It gives me pleasure to reflect on SMART Recovery UK's achievements and developments over the past year. We have seen continued growth, improved our organisational structure, strengthened partnership working and continue to better the lives of those impacted by addictions.

Despite the challenging funding landscape, we secured several major contracts this year. These include a new 3-year contract with CGL worth £90,000 per annum, a 3-year contract with the North Wales Area Planning Board, and £150,000 continuation funding for the Veterans Programme in Scotland. Income from licensing has also grown and I am pleased to report that our solid financial position means that we are able to make forward-looking investments to help meet our charitable objectives for years to come. As such, we are preparing to go to tender for a new website and CRM system by the end of 2025. This will modernise our digital infrastructure, improve user experience, and support continued growth.

Having grown to a medium-sized charity, we completed our first full financial audit over the past year. This year also saw the appointment of an Operations Manager, completing our leadership structure. In support of our commitment to staff well-being, we undertook a staff wellbeing and resilience review and introduced a well-received staff bonus scheme aligned with performance against targets. Leadership development was facilitated through bespoke staff training kindly delivered pro bono by Cheryl Gratrix.

To celebrate the remarkable contributions that our volunteers continue to make every day, we launched UKSR's first ever volunteer recognition scheme and held our inaugural Volunteer Recognition Awards in September 2024. Over 200 nominations were received, and 120 individuals attended the online awards ceremony, which was generously sponsored by Start360 and public donors.

Our bespoke support programmes for veterans and family and friends of those with addictions continue to thrive. This year saw the release of a dedicated training module, national expansion of the Family & Friends support groups, and new partnerships with a range of organisations. Development of several new programmes is underway. These include a gambling-specific programme, the Inside Out Programme for the criminal justice sector, and the finalisation of the Start SMART training package

following a successful pilot. Digitally, we expanded our product offering with the introduction of virtual SMART licences and e-book versions of our most popular handbooks. Work is underway to

secure CPD accreditation for our training courses. The new UK SMART Handbook is progressing and will launch in 2025 with an expanded focus on trauma and mindfulness.

We continue to strengthen our network through working in partnership with others and have forged several successful new relationships with a variety of organisations. We were also proud to support research activities led by institutions that include King's College London, Dundee and Edge Hill Universities. Our support for high quality research is pivotal to continuing to improve the SMART Recovery evidence base and ensure that our recovery services follow best and current practices. We also attended several high-profile events, including the launch of Recovery Movie Meet Ups and participated in the Lisbon Addictions Conference 2024. It was a pleasure to, for the first time, meet face-to-face with many representatives of SMART Recovery's international community and to strengthen bonds with sister organisations across the globe.

UKSR is evolving with strength, integrity, and vision. We are driving innovation, strengthening financial sustainability, building community, and extending our impact nationally and internationally. I thank our team, volunteers, partners, and supporters for their continued dedication to SMART Recovery's mission.

We look ahead with energy and optimism for 2025 and beyond.

Financial review

UK SMART Recovery has only one major source of income which is earned income from partnership agreements. This not guaranteed from year to year and is dependent on government policy and the economic climate. It is therefore crucial to the sustainability of the organisation to ensure there are sufficient financial reserves to cope with a period of diminished earned income, while fundraising activities are carried out, to ensure the stability of the organisation and most importantly to continue to support people seeking abstinence from addictive behaviours.

To avoid the possibility of closure of the organisation, should the charity’s income fall significantly, the UK SMART Recovery Board has agreed to keep a certain level of financial reserves to ensure that main operations can continue for a period of six months. The main concerns of the board are to ensure that the charity can continue to meet its objectives.

Currently funding is stable, but if difficulties were to arise then, it has been calculated that reserves of £219,000 would be needed to continue running for at least six months. The unrestricted reserves for the current year, less fixed assets, were £242,204. Reserves should be built up from the unrestricted income. The level of reserves should be calculated and monitored on a quarterly basis by staff. The reserves fund should be reviewed annually at the end of the financial year by Trustees.

During the period the charity made an overall surplus of £82,578 (2024 - £62,349). This is made up of a surplus in unrestricted of £61,430 (2024 - £45,078) and in restricted of £21,148 (2024 - £17,271). At the year end date the balance on unrestricted funds was £246,225 (2024 - £184,795) and there was a balance of £90,905 (2024 - £69,757) on restricted funds.

Plans for future periods

The Board has developed a clear strategic direction for our organisation. As a Board we are acutely aware of the ever-changing environment of alcohol and drug service commissioning and try to ensure that UKSR responds to such changes by being flexible and fit for purpose. However one thing does not change and that is our product. We remain committed to the provision of an evidenced-based, secular, mutual aid, accessible program based squarely on well-established cognitive behaviour and person centred therapeutic principles. We actively eschew jumping on the bandwagon of new brand named, so called acronym psychological therapies of questionable validity.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of UK Smart Recovery

Year ended 31 March 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of UK Smart Recovery (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 26 to the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

As part of the audit planning process, the engagement partner and the engagement team obtained an understanding and discussed the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable, focusing on those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on the operations of the company. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context included Companies Act 2006, Financial Report Standard 102 (FRS 102), employment and tax laws and health and safety legislation.

The engagement partner and the engagement team discussed non-compliance with laws and regulations at the audit team planning meeting. The engagement partner made enquiries of management regarding their assessment of the likelihood of fraud or error or non-compliance with laws and regulations which could lead to material misstatements in the financial statements and whether they were aware of any instances of fraud or non-compliance. The engagement partner was satisfied that the engagement team had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with laws and regulations during the audit.

The engagement team also enquired of management as part of the audit, including obtaining and reviewing supporting documentation and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. The engagement team did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.

Part of the engagement team's assessment of non-compliance with laws and regulations included a review of the risk of management override of controls. This was carried out by reviewing journals posted to the financial records and reviewing accounting estimates identify any material misstatement which may be due to fraud.

The audit team also considered whether there could be fraudulent revenue recognition. This was carried out by reviewing the revenue recognition policies, testing of material revenue streams and testing cut off at the year end date.

The disclosures in the financial statements were reviewed and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations. A Disclosure Check was carried out to confirm that the financial statements comply with current accounting requirements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England, Wales and Scotland. The address of the registered office is C/o Sedulo London Office, 605 Albert House, 256-260 Old Street, London, EC1V 9DD, United Kingdom.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

Due to the current level of reserves there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Income

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Tangible assets (continued)

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Office equipment - 15% straight line

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments, which includes debtors, creditors and bank are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

Defined contribution plans (continued)

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
