Despite the limitations imposed by the lockdown associated with the COVID pandemic we have continued and maintained our work with families and stakeholder virtually. The last year has brought a substantial increase in the number of families we have helped, with support to more than 140 families and friends bereaved as a result of killings by people with mental illness We have worked closely with Victim Support’s Homicide Service facilitating access and assistance to affected families. We are extremely grateful for their continued support. We have worked with the NHS at national, regional, and local levels to advise on the impact and extent of mental health homicides and been appointed to various NHS oversight organisations to assist and advocate for securing improvements in practice and performance. We have worked directly with the Ministry of Justice, Victims Commissioners (both nationally and in London), National Offender Management Service, the Police, MPs, the Scottish and Northern Irish Governments and others to improve services to families affected by killings by people with serious mental illness. We have influenced national and local policies to assist families affected by mental health related homicides and to help prevent further avoidable tragedies.

We have documented over 1800 mental health related homicides across the United Kingdom and have made available without cost over 500 official investigation reports on our website – the only publically available such resource in the country.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/ HUNDRED FAMILIES members of On accounts for the year 31 MARCH 2021 Charity no 1161287 ended (if any) Set out on pages 1 - 8

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

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

• Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 the 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 statement below.

Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

• accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or

• the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
