## **Section B              Structure, governance and management** 

## **Description of the charity’s trusts** 

Charitable lncorporated Organisation (ClO) with a 'Foundation' model Type of governing document constitution which was registered on 24 March 2015 (eg. trust deed, constitution) Charitable Trust How the charity is constituted (eg. trust, association, company) New Trustees are appointed by the existing trustees to maintain and Trustee selection methods ensure an appropriate skillset. The Constitution sets terms of office in (eg. appointed by, elected by) order to secure stability and continuity but change, refreshment and expertise. Fundraising is clearly more and more demanding and a volunteer was recruited to the Trustees to take a lead on this. The Trustees already have one person with marketing experience and another to completely restructure digital record keeping and commensurate security, thus refreshing the charity's governance. The Trustees have also appointed a person with experience in Human Resources to ensure that employment practices, contracts and expectations of volunteers remain current, clear, proper and legal. New Trustees are appointed by invitation, consideration by all Trustees, references are sought and scrutinised. Consistent with that process two requests to join the Trustees have been politely declined after consideration of their circumstances and offers. 

## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)**

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: 

- policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; 

- the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; 

- relationship with any related parties; 

- trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. 

- Trustees have in place a range of relevant policies including Safeguarding, Code of Conduct and Conflicts of lnterest. The charity's Safeguarding Policy is reviewed annually and was developed significantly to enable online support to take place during the Covid restrictions. The following policies are reviewed every three years: Health & Safety Equality & Diversity Confidentiality Data Protection Lone Working Complaints 

and other policies which are not mandatory but which guide the work of volunteers in the various types of work with both young people and adults. Counselling is now being offered to surviving parents and a policy has been devised for this. 

- Trustees receive induction, safeguarding and prevent training, as do staff and volunteers. 

DBS clearance is mandatory for all. 

- A new business plan is scheduled following the appointment of the new Chair and in light of the status of applications for donations. Specific policies relating to the delivery of service during the the pandemic are put aside. 

## **Section C                    Objectives and activities** 

**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document** 

To provide and protect the health of bereaved children and young people aged 0-19 living in North Hertfordshire and Stevenage by helping to prevent the negative outcomes of grief affecting their health, education and future life prospects through the provision of information, advice, support and guidance to them, their families, carers and associated professionals involved in their day-to-day care. This has recently included developing targeted support for surviving parents in relation to their own support of their child/ren, not specific adult bereavement counselling. This has been offered in groups running concurrently with the young peoples’ groups and occasionally on an individual basis.

'Grief is in two parts. The first is loss. The second is the remaking of life.' (Anne Rolphe). All trustees read the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when they were drafting Stand-by-Me's charitable objects as part of the successful application for charity registration as a ClO. Stand-by-Me's charity classification is: 

- the advancement of education 

- the advancement of health or the saving of lives. 

**Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)** 

Trustees have received explicit evidence from self-assessment questionnaires filled in by bereaved children and teenagers and oral feedback from parents and family members that the charity's website and newsletter, free telephone advice line, and group programmes have all been beneficial and made a material difference to their lives following bereavement. These activities have 

1. helped children and young people know what is happening and what can help 

2. helped parents to understand and support their children 

3. given professionals information to support bereaved children and young people 

4. provided ways for bereaved families to meet and share their experiences. 

The main benefits to children and families have been 

- the provision of an open access, early intervention, free at the point of need, varied level of bereavement support 

- reduction in the need for referral to specialist services and target agencies because of escalating levels of need 

- support for families to understand their grief reactions and enhance family functioning 

- reduction of the social isolation frequently highlighted by children and families by creating new contacts with others experiencing bereavement 

- provision of opportunities for forging new friendships and learning from others 

## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** 

During the period covered by this report the charity has continued to enjoy support from two types of volunteers: 

You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about: 

- policy on grantmaking; 

- policy programme related investment; 

- contribution made by volunteers. 

- (1) Volunteers, of which new ones have been trained and others upskilled by building on their experience of running group programmes for bereaved children and teenagers. These group programmes continue to be in demand and remain at the core of what Stand-by-Me is seeking to provide as described above in its objects. Without the volunteers the delivery of the group programmes would be impossible. Two recipients of the Stand-by-me programme have become volunteers themselves. 

- (2) Fundraising volunteers, have continued to front various events and actively participated in fund-raising events, organised by donors. These have been vital in providing funds to strengthen the charity's ability to make a direct approach to bereaved children, teenagers and their families. They have also considerably raised public awareness of what Stand-by-Me has to offer bereaved families and of what resources are needed from donors in order to deliver the charity's services. 

- (3) Trustees have also attended various functions to acknowledge the generosity of donors, raise awareness of the charity and educate people about the need for such a charity.

Volunteers continue to organise and manage the now annual 'Remember-me' day when young people who have used Stand-by-me’s programme, and their families, can reconnect. The Charity continues to enjoy free accommodation provided by Letchworth Heritage Foundation, Hitchin Youth Trust. All volunteers received a specially commissioned Safeguarding leaflet to explain the responsibilities placed upon them in accordance with the charity's Safeguarding Policy; and certificates for training have been created. 

The Young Ambassadors programme has also initiated a number of fund-raising activities with young people who have benefited from the charity’s programme now raising its profile and taking a lead in promoting it and raising funds. This programme is a powerful continuation of the effectiveness and positive outcome of the clinical programme.

Section D                      Achievements and performance The Stand-by-me group sessions for children and young people remain **Summary of the main** at the heart of the Charity's work and have now supported over 650 **achievements of the charity** bereaved children and young people. The demand continues and a list of **during the year** prospective participants is maintained with support offered as early as possible. All children and young people are professionally assessed to ensure they are ready for involvement in group sessions. These full assessments, carried out prior to the young people joining a group, have increasingly led to volunteers offering support to other members of the children's families. The Big Lottery donation which initially funded a Family Bereavement Support Worker (FBSW) ended and a successful application was made for Global Make Some Noise funding was made in order to continue this part of Stand-by-me’s work. This allows for the employment of a person to draw a link between the children/young people, their families and their schools. This has proved to be enormously successful in linking school, families and bereaved young people but has also lead to ‘pressure’ to provide support directly to bereaved parents. A pilot and very limited scheme has run. Separate secondary and primary age groups are fully re-established for face-to-face sessions. The Contact-me programme for schools has been adopted by all the secondary schools in the Charity's area and most of the primary schools, schools, with volunteers (the primary author of the scheme and a clinician) continuing to provide training sessions primarily in schools. This revision and retraining programme will continue as schools seek more and more support in their work with bereaved children. All schools are facing increasing numbers of young people with mental health issues and bereavement is another factor which schools are expected to respond to. The growth in the scale, and success, of both these aspects of the Charity's work required a review of staffing in line with a full review of the Charity's business plan, in terms of its future sustainability. The input of the Trustee with digital expertise led to a further review of the administration side of the charity’s work and its implementation is well under way The Young Ambassadors programme has proved to be of great benefit to both the participants and to the Charity in terms of its profile and fundraising, with impressive presentations being made by the young people at various high-profile local events. A new compilation of videos made by the young people themselves will be used for fund- and awareness-raising purposes and this approach will be used with new ambassadors to involve them fully. Individual, corporate and local group donations have supplemented the initial three-year Children ln Need grant for continuation of which an application has been made. Funding is constantly under review and the continuation of the Uniting Families programme, supported by Global Make Some noise may depend on securing other funding streams. The ‘regular giving’ scheme the Trust designed has so far generated less than hoped but the marketing Trustee is actively seeking ways of promoting this, including exploring the possibility of contributions from local business.

## **Section E                    Financial review** 

**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** 

The Trust’s policy is to hold reserves to cover no less than six rather than three months expenses. 

**Details of any funds materially in deficit** 

## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** 

The Trust has no funds invested. lts income is entirely through charitable donations from individuals, local organisations, fund-raising organisations outside the locality which have identified the Charity as one which they wish to support on a one-off basis and from national supporters i.e. Children in Need and The Big Lottery. 

You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: 

- the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); 

- All income is directed exclusively to providing support for children and 

- • how expenditure has young people who have been bereaved and without the funding the Charity could not continue. Whilst all the clinical and therapeutic support 

- supported the key objectives is delivered by volunteers, they cannot also provide the essential 

- of the charity; administration, paperwork, etc. and this work is carried out, largely, by 

- • investment policy and paid employees of the Trust. As the Charity moderately expands its work, objectives including any the administrative support required commensurately increases. The ethical investment policy Trustees keep that carefully monitored, ensuring that staff are properly adopted. remunerated, supported, trained and, when possible, upskilled. 

## **Section F                     Other optional information** 

After two very difficult years which placed huge remands on the Charity – ironically at a time when it was more needed than ever – operations returned to pre-pandemic status. Doubtless all charities have found fund-raising difficult and maintaining the charity’s work has required exceptional effort on the part of staff and volunteers. The Trustees are aware of the increasing demand for support from donors like Children in Need, Global Make Some Noise and The Big Lottery, all of whom are experiencing reductions in their income, so the Trustees are working tirelessly to secure Stand-by-me’s sustainability.

## **STAND-BY-ME BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT SERVICE FOR CHILDREN – no. 1161035 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023** 

## **MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES** 

Mrs Carol Read - Chair Mr John Botley - Deputy Chair & Finance Trustee Mrs Sandra Blacker - Clinical Trustee Mr James Lawrence - Marketing Trustee Mr Neil Cuthbertson - HR Trustee (resigned 4 September 2023) Mrs Jane Walton - Health Trustee Mr Andy Nellis - Digital Trustee Mr Keith Wadsworth - Secretary 

The charity’s address is 111 Walsworth Road, Hitchin, SG4 9SP. 

## **OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES** 

The charity’s main activities continue to be to support bereaved children and young people and their families through our innovative group programmes. Following a successful pilot, the charity now also offers counselling for parents who had attended the parents’ group and need further support. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT & PERFORMANCE** 

The key achievements during the last year were: 

- In November 2023, the charity was awarded the Kings Award for Voluntary Service. This prestigious accolade is the highest honour a local voluntary group can receive in the UK, equivalent to an MBE. 

- Two of our Young Ambassadors have been involved with Children in Need initiatives in 2023 with one participating in the BBC One Show challenges for Children in Need. 

- The charity was successful in its application to Global Make Some Noise who agreed to support our successful Uniting Families Parent & Schools programme. 

- The charity has invested funds received from two substantial donations in 2022 to invest in a new IT system to improve the processing of group documentation and communication. In addition, we have updated our website and branding, via a new logo. 

## **FINANCE** 

The charity received funds of £117,602 compared with £143,604 in the prior period. The decrease was largely due to receiving two substantial corporate donations in 2022. Expenditure was £135,806 compared with £100,908 the previous year mainly due to the investment in the new IT system mentioned above, (total IT costs increased by over £16,000 and overtime costs increased by £4,000) plus higher fundraising & marketing costs due to the rebranding. 

The deficit for the year was £18,204 compared with a surplus of £42,696 the previous year. As explained above a deficit for the year was not unexpected given the investments made. 

Cash resources at the year-end were £94,676 (2022 - £112,880) made up of £83,440 unrestricted and £11,236 restricted. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

## **Risk Management** 

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. 

## **Public Benefit Statement** 

The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit as published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers or duties. 

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 15 May 2024 and signed on its behalf by:

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF STAND-BY-ME BEREAVEMENT SUPPORT SERVICE FOR CHILDREN** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages 4 to 8. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view ' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
