**Imago Dei Prison Ministry** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023. 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 2019). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

Imago Dei Prison Ministry's objectives are to advance the Christian faith and to provide resources to Chaplains and prisoners in HM Prisons. Such resources will include but not be limited to the teaching of educational courses generally and the teaching of Christian values, to equip and enable change in prisoners' behaviour and reduce re- offending. 

To encourage and support Christian offenders in their faith in Jesus Christ. 

To see people come to faith in Jesus Christ. 

To see all prisoners, regardless of faith, empowered to change their lives with a new hope for the future. 

To help all prisoners to know their true identity; their value and their purpose, and to help them to not be defined by their past. To see all prisoners, regardless of faith, successfully and productively reintegrate into society. 

To see family life restored. 

To see a lower re-offending rate. 

We are currently in negotiations with the Charity Commission to amend our charitable objectives to allow for us to house women  upon release from prison, and also to be able to offer work experience opportunities to women on day release from prison in our #SheMatters shop.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant Activities** 

## **ID Prison Ministry Project** 

Throughout 2023 the total number of ID courses delivered were 42 to a total of 168 women in 3 prisons. In addition, we also offered continual pastoral support, prayer, Bible Study and encouragement to those who requested it. 

We continued taking volunteers into prisons who have lived experience of the Criminal Justice System, they were able to facilitate courses and share their experiences as well as inspire the women attending the different courses. 

Throughout 2023, we maintained good relationships with the prisons offering our support and services wherever possible through the Chaplaincy departments working alongside the Managing Chaplains, Offender Management Departments and Offender Supervisors. 

We continued taking regular Sunday Services in HMP East Sutton Park. Hillsong was able to go in and do three worship evenings in HMP Send. We facilitated two poetry events in two different prisons which were well attended and an opportunity to engage and encourage women. 

In December, Imago Dei donated 750 Christmas gifts to three prisons including soap, flannels, toiletries, socks, chocolate and card-making kits. These always go down well and are well received. 

## ID Grace House Project 

Towards the end of 2023 we began to look for a property for Grace House and will continue to progress securing accommodation in the new year. 

## **ID Essence Project** 

2023 has been a busy year for ID Essence. The team have been working hard to provide meaningful support for as many young adults in HMP Downview and the community as possible. 

## Inside 

This year in HMP Downview, the ID Essence team engaged with a total of 162 distinct individuals through various activities. Some people are represented more than once as they engaged with more than one activity during the year. 

Activity Number of People Who Engaged Resettlement Support 25 1-to-1 Mentoring & Pastoral Support 31 Pastoral Support for 31+ 10 In-cell myLife Courses (age 18 to 30) 3 In-cell myLife Courses (age 31+) 5 Chaplaincy Support/Outreach 81 Essence Outreach (18 - 30) 78 Money Group Course 9 myLife 1-to-1 courses 47 

The heart of ID Essence’s activities in prison continues to be the long-term 1-to-1 support the team provides young adults in prison. This remains the foundation of who they are and what they do. 

In 2023 the team supported 59 young adults through this 1-to-1 support. For the majority of the young adults, this involved working through one or a combination of myLife courses on topics such as Managing Emotions & Relating to Others; receiving ongoing pastoral & mentoring support; and resettlement support in the run up to their release. 

In 2023 the work of the ID Essence team was recognised by the prison as part of a ‘Reward & Recognition’ scheme. The team  received a letter of recognition and thanks from the Prison Governor, for going ‘above and beyond’ in their support of the young adults in  HMP Downview.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Outside** 

This year in the community, ID Essence engaged with a total of 41 young adults through their resettlement support. 15 of these were young adults who were released from prison this year, 12 of whom are still actively engaging with the ID Essence team. 

ID Essence’s resettlement support continues to be as holistic and responsive as possible - offering a unique blend of both pastoral and practical support in any way they can in whichever aspect of life each beneficiary feels they need it. Some examples of support provided for young adults in the community this year are: 

Secured financial grants for 7 individuals, from our fantastic partners at the Church Homeless Charity and others to go towards necessities such as food, clothes & household items. 

Introduced a new ‘moving house’ aspect to our service. Our Community Team Lead hired a van for two beneficiaries and helped them to move house - both of whom were in desperate need of this support. 

Secured a new work experience placement with a film company for a beneficiary interested in pursuing a career in the film industry. Provided support for 6 women on our caseload who are either pregnant or who have recently had babies. We will be exploring ways  we can expand and grow this support next year. 

Met two women at the gate on the day of their release and accompanied them throughout that first day of freedom. 

## **#SheMatters Project** 

The #SheMatters project grew throughout 2023 offering opportunities in both the community and the women’s open prison and supporting women in the Criminal Justice System. 

## **#SheMatters Shop** 

Our charity shop in Tunbridge Wells continued to thrive in 2023, selling good quality women’s & girls’ clothing and accessories, books, games and local handicrafts - because #SheMatters! 

Engaging with the general public, the #SheMatters shop raises awareness of the work of Imago Dei and their support for women in prison and in the community after release. 

We had a change of Shop Manager in the summer of 2023 when we recruited two people doing a job-share. This was a huge success. 

In August 2023 we were able to welcome our first volunteers with lived experience of being in prison. By creating work experience opportunities for women living in and leaving prison, #SheMatters wants to reduce the stigma of employing someone who has been part of the Criminal Justice System. The project also gives the women opportunities for community involvement and work skills and experience, as well helping to boost self-confidence and self-belief levels. 

## **#SheMatters Employment Network** 

This is an initiative borne out of the #SheMatters campaign, as a means to connect women who have been through the Criminal Justice System with potential employers. This area of the project took a bit of a back seat during 2023 but we hope to resume it in 2024. 

## **#SheMatters Courses** 

These are a suite of life skills courses covering 5 main topics, Work, Running a Home, Emotional Health, Physical Health, and Relationships. These courses will be run at Probation Women’s Centres in Kent. We had hoped to start these in September 2023 but due to problems with the venue these were put off until 2024. 

## #SheMatters Criminal Justice Conference 

In September 2023, we held our second #SheMatters Women’s Criminal Justice Conference. The theme was “Flourishing Beyond Restraints" and focused on what happens in the prison in preparation for women leaving, and support & services for women once they have left. We had guest speakers from Cook’s Raw Talent Programme and CFPL (Caring for Prison Leavers), who both spoke about their training and supporting prison leavers back into work. In addition, we heard from a Prison’s Managing Chaplain and HMPPS Anglican and HQ  Advisor. 

The Layers Holloway Exhibition (by Powerplay Productions) and Prisons Week videos were shown throughout the conference in a break-out room. 

We partnered with The Community Arts Programme who work in the prison and in the community. Several of the women sold some of their pieces. It was wonderful to see the talent and skill. It also gave them the opportunity to share their stories. Criminal Justice System professionals took part on a Q&A panel. 

It was another successful event and with lots of positive feedback and comments from attendees. We plan on repeating it in 2024. 

In March, Imago Dei was awarded a High Sheriff Award, recognising those who have gone above and beyond in their service to the community of Kent and Medway. The Imago Dei Team went to collect the award at a ceremony in Maidstone.

**Imago Dei Prison Ministry** 

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Statement of public benefit** 

Under the Charities Act 2011, charities are required to demonstrate that their aims are for the public benefit. The two key principles that must be met in this context are, first, that there must be an identifiable benefit or benefits; and secondly, that the benefit must be to the public or a section of the public. Charity Trustees must ensure that they carry out their charities aims for the public benefit, must have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance and must report on public benefit in their annual report. 

Imago Dei Prison Ministry's Board of Trustees regularly monitors and reviews the success of the Charity in meeting its purpose and objectives.  Imago Dei's purpose and objectives are the underpinning for its activities, which are all carried out for the public benefit. 

## **Staffing, Governance and Volunteers** 

## **Staffing** 

During 2023 we increased our staff team. We decided to employ a part-time Finance Officer instead of outsourcing our book-keeping. We advertised for a new Shop Manager and then took on two people on a job share basis. And finally, towards the end of the year we employed an Imago Dei Prison Ministry Lead. 

We ended the year with a total of 10 staff, 4 part-time and 6 full-time. In addition, we paid a sessional Course Facilitator for the  courses she facilitated in prison. We outsourced our HR needs to MG Warren Solutions and received advice on staffing issues, staff well-being, contracts etc throughout the year. 

## **Volunteers** 

We lost several volunteers during covid but throughout 2023 we trained some new volunteers who helped to facilitate courses. Our charity shop also had several volunteers throughout the year. In total we have had 14 volunteers involved regularly. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Fundraising activities** 

Our fundraiser submitted a report to the Trustees at each of the Trustee’s meetings in 2023. She diligently continued throughout the year applying for grant funding from many organisations. We had varying success with several of those applications being approved and paid out. We were successful in securing a significant grant from the Ministry of Justice towards core costs in 2023. 

We also received donations from many of our speaking engagements that we undertook throughout 2023 and continued to be a Mission partner with Christ Church Tunbridge Wells.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Internal and external factors ADMINISTRATION** 

Throughout 2023 each project was responsible for its own administration. 

The CEO and Trustees met regularly to discuss various issues and plan strategically for the future and maintain all records etc. Bi-monthly reports were submitted to the Trustees by all projects. 

We had regular Staff Away Days quarterly and met as Staff Team monthly both in-person and on zoom. 

## **TRAINING** 

Throughout 2023 we held 2 basic prison training mornings for all Imago Dei prison volunteers, sharing the history of ID, our strategy for the future, security training, and how to lead and facilitate courses. 

In addition, all Imago Dei staff participated in Mental Health First Aid training, Counseling Skills for non-counsellors, Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Training. 

Front-line workers also attended training put on by HMPPS relevant to their work areas. 

## **OFFICE** 

In July 2023 we moved offices from Tonbridge to East Grinstead, West Sussex. This gave us more room and storage and saved us a little money each month and was closer to home for several of the staff team. 

## **ACCOUNTING** 

ID continues to use Always Accounting Limited for payroll, accounting, and, also for our independent examination which is submitted to the Charity Commission yearly. In 2023 we also paid for the services of a bookkeeper one day per week until we employed our own Finance Officer who took this over. This has proven to be a good decision and our accounts have been kept more up to date and  should make our year end finalisation, much quicker than in previous years. 

## **SOCIAL MEDIA & PUBLIC RELATIONS** 

107 people joined us at the Salesforce Tower on Thursday 26th October 2023 at our Fundraising Banquet. 

We heard from “Not Beyond Redemption” about the struggles women in contact with the Criminal Justice System have, this was followed by hearing from 3 amazing women who have been recipients of our support. These incredible women shared about their time in prison and about how having good support once they have left has helped them to thrive. We then invited guests to become regular donors to help ensure the longevity of Imago Dei. 

## **EXHIBITING** 

We had the pleasure of exhibiting at three (3) conferences in 2023: 

New Wine The Rise Conference Bountiful 

This provided the opportunity to share about our work and invite people to sign up to our newsletter to hear more about what we do. 

In addition, we had a number of speaking engagements including at a Christian care home, women’s institute, Trefoil Guild, and 5 church groups.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

At the end of 2023 we had 56 regular donors, we gained 17 of these donors from the fundraising banquet we held in London in October.  In addition to regular donors we received 19 one off donations throughout the year. 

The Charity continued its work in 2023. Incoming resources were significantly higher in 2023 at £381,808 (2022: £265,561). 

Of the incoming resources £47,799 (2022 £88,835) of donations were received of which £2,796 were restricted and related to Essence (2022: £42,707 were restricted and related to Grace House) 

Grants amounted to £326,713 (2022: £173,649) of which £215,213 (2022:£107,349) were restricted and £111,500 (2022: £66,300) were unrestricted. 

Resources expended were slightly lower in 2023 at £302,096 (2022: £302,776). This is attributed in the reduction of bookkeeping costs. 

At the year end the Trustees were happy that the charity reserves would be in line with the Reserves Policy and other expenditure. 

## **Reserves policy** 

Throughout 2023 the Trustees and CEO tried very hard to increase the charity reserves in accordance with our Reserves Policy. 

Imago Dei Prison Ministry need to ensure that it has adequate reserves in order that it can maintain the current provision of courses and support to prisoners in unforeseen circumstances should funding from any source temporarily cease or grants do not come to fruition. 

Imago Dei Prison Ministry attempt to hold adequate reserves to cover on average, three months expenditure, based on expenditure in 2021 and 2022 and the budget for 2023 being £75,000 

## **Going concern** 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

## **FUTURE PLANS SUMMARY** 

2023 was a challenging year for Imago Dei in terms of finance and also strengthening the organisation after the effects of covid. We ended the year better than we started and were very appreciative of the ongoing support of many including the prisons, supporters, volunteers and funders. 

The overall impact within the prisons was good and healthy and we were able to maintain and deliver the amount of courses that we  had intended and regularly saw good results and positive feedback in all areas. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and uses a Foundation Model Constitution, which was completed and signed on 4 January 2016. 

In October 2023 Imago Dei submitted an amendment to the constitution to the Charity Commission. This was duly signed off and accepted. 

The Trustee's annual report has been compiled with due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Board of Trustees appointed 3 new Trustees throughout 2023, one of whom was one of the original Trustees when Imago Dei  first started. She was appointed for a second term and became the Chair of Trustees. 2 Trustees left the Board. During the recruitment process we advertised on social media, our website and on various other criminal justice sector websites.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Imago Dei Prison Ministry** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Imago Dei Prison Ministry** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Imago Dei Prison Ministry (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, 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 Trust 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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023**

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance  with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Fixtures and fittings|- Straight line over 5 years|
