## **Structure, Governance and Management**
HOPE - South Yorkshire Fire - Road and Water Related Trauma Support for Families, previously known as HOPE - The South Yorkshire Fire & Rescue and RTC Family Support Group is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with a Foundation Model Constitution as its governing document, it was adopted on 4 February 2016 and amended on 21 September 2016, 31 August 2017 , 4 July 2019 and 20 October 2020.
The Trustees form the management committee of the charity and are responsible for setting and reviewing the policies, finances and strategic direction of the charity. The Trustees delegate the day to day management of the Charity to Maryann Quinn, Charity Operations Manager.
## **Appointment of Trustees**
The maximum number of charity trustees is 9.
Apart from the first charity trustees every appointed trustee must be appointed for a term of three years.
A member of the South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority for the time being ('the office holder') shall automatically ('ex-officio') be a charity trustee, for as long as he or she holds that office. If unwilling to act as a charity trustee, the office holder may give notice in writing to the trustees of his or her unwillingness to act in that capacity; or after accepting appointment as a charity trustee, resign.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees show due diligence by examining the major risks that the charity faces and putting systems into operation so that steps can be taken to reduce these risks.
## **Charitable Aims and Objectives**
Providing a support structure for people affected by a death or traumatic incident either within their family or through the witnessing of a fire, road traffic collision (RTC) or drowning or incident with trauma, and by responding to the emotional needs of people who have been affected by fire, RTC or drowning incident causing a trauma with charitable help and assistance.

## **Trustees' annual report - continued for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Charitable Aims and Objectives continued**
Working in partnership with professional agencies, community or voluntary networks and other concerned organisations throughout the area of benefit to assist the beneficiaries of the charity; and increasing community involvement in the area of benefit in promoting safety by raising public awareness of the need for home and road safety, manage risk on how to stay safe for the public benefit.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have given due consideration to the Charity Commission published guidance on the Public Benefit requirement under the Charities Act 2011. We review our aims, objectives and activities each year to help to ensure that we remain focused on our stated purposes. Benefits are included in the information above.
## **Achievements and performance**
## Peer Support Groups
HOPE's Peer Support Groups continue to be the cornerstone of HOPE's support.
Peer Support groups are offered across South Yorkshire and offer equal access, for all those that have been through a traumatic bereavement. HOPE also continues the wider offer, to families and to individuals coming for support, or being referred into HOPE for support. Some of the support provided includes one to one’s, family support sessions, meetings, walks and attending court hearings with families, all without restrictions. HOPE has been able to offer this support to families across, Barnsley, Rotherham, Sheffield and Doncaster.
Over the past year, HOPE engaged with and supported 130 people, with an age range between 4 – 80+years old. Families and individuals can access HOPE at differing times through their traumatic grief. Some will come soon after a fatal incident other’s may come, months or even years after a loved one has been killed, or through the witnessing of a traumatic death. Referrals come through SY Police, NHS, SY Fire & Rescue service, as well as through education establishments, word of mouth, community organisations and IAPT, (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies). Sometimes, someone will bring another person with them to a group, to access the support.

## **Achievements and performance continued**
HOPE continues to offer and support families following multiple fatal incidents and fatal house fires. This may be attending the scene to support families to lay flowers at the scene of a fatal road traffic collision. To be alongside them, when they are attending the aftermath of a fatal house fire, with Oliver (HOPE's PTSD Support dog) to support the family.
HOPE provides 23 Peer support groups, these are where families can just turn up, and can attend as many times, and for however long they need the support for. There can be 5 people or 40+ attending, and no two Peer support groups are the same. The December 2023 group had 48 people in attendance. The intensity of support as does the needs of people, varies at every group and the one factor for the families is that they know HOPE is there for them. HOPE will also provide transport for those that cannot attend, due to not having the means or the financial ability to attend. HOPE offers equality of access to all.
_Peer support creative group art by families._
Court Proceedings and support for families though the CJS (Criminal Justice System) HOPE continues to support families with court proceedings, where the defendant may be pleading guilty or being sentenced following a conviction, for a death by careless or dangerous driving. This can be within any court across South Yorkshire and some cases may take days, or need multiple attendances, and HOPE will be there to support the families with a quiet hand to steady them through the immense stress of watching a defendant in court, who killed their loved one. The support HOPE offers is intense, and over many hours, days, weeks and months and even years.

## Oliver
Oliver brings another very important avenue of support for the families that come to HOPE, and his role will develop and grow as he gets older. He has attended park walks, many Community events, the coroner’s office and the medico legal centre as well. He is working toward his full Kennel Club Good Citizens Award, having passed his Bronze, and will then continue training for therapy and full public
Oliver’s own mental health and welfare is also taken care of by allowing him to de-compress from his valuable support work by going doggy swimming and open field sessions. This allows him to be a normal dog enjoying his play time and not having to concentrate on supporting individuals.
_Cookes Pet Supplies kindly support Oliver with monthly food, for all the support he offers those coming to HOPE._
## Donations
HOPE is now registered with HMRC for Gift Aid, so that any donations and gifts can be maximised for the charity, through the Gift Aid process. HOPE also now has a presence with Just Giving so those that want to do a sponsored or fundraising event can now access the support though the Just Giving platform, which gives HOPE Charity a greater social media footprint to support the charity.
## Collaborations and Networks
## **Sheffield University**
Sheffield University Medical school collaboration continues with HOPE accepting 5, third year medical students. They were instrumental in providing information, leaflets and materials and attending groups and events to support the work HOPE does. Their support at the November and December groups proved to be invaluable, as this is one of the busiest times of the year.
Allowing the students to see, feel and be part of traumatic grief and experience those with PTSD, allows them to fulfil their learning objectives and social determinants of their health module and allows HOPE to play a small part in their development as future doctors.

## Wortley Hall
The HOPE memory tree is dedicated and planted at Wortley Hall. The tree and area around it, continues to be a focal point for families who have nowhere else to go to remember their family member. They can leave memorable items, poems, teddies, wings, hearts, or whatever they see fit in memory of their loved one. HOPE also works in collaboration with Wortley Hall and should any items become weather worn, they can be gently removed and placed in a large memory crate, kept in the Wortley Hall stables for all time.
## South Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum
HOPE remains part of the South Yorkshire Local Resilience Forum, and works together with other agencies, i.e. Red Cross, to put into place a traumatic event response measure. This ensures, that should our services ever be needed, we can respond with our expertise, knowledge and information to work alongside other called on services to support people affected by a larger major incident with trauma.
## Doncaster Venue
As the needs grows across South Yorkshire, HOPE continues to look for and locate a suitable venue for a new Doncaster group. Due to the nature and the needs of the group, ie parking, storage, hours of the meeting, privacy at the venue etc this has been challenging. HOPE is still looking for a venue and are hopeful we will find something suitable in the near future.
## Mayor's Charity
HOPE also attended several community events to help raise the profile of the charity.

## **Future Plans**
HOPE will continue to grow the outreach support the Charity offers, be that with walks with families in parks, meeting at farm café’s, organising family boat trips and accessing the grounds of Wortley Hall. HOPE’s growth continues and thus the levels of support offered and sought does too. Our support is always offered for however long it is needed. HOPE’s engagement within the Peer support groups will also grow with additional creative art and craft bereavement support. Our aim is to grow to meet the needs of those attending.
We will continue to provide the necessary and ongoing training for Oliver; so he can access, take and achieve his Kennel Club Good Citizen Awards Certifications and build his skills as he grows. This will in turn benefit the families HOPE supports.
We aim to make further partnerships to be able to promote the invaluable and free Collision sessions to alternative educational providers, and support the very individuals, whose families may come to HOPE following a fatal incident.
Our Work with third year Students from Sheffield University Medical school continues and the students can; and some do, stay as volunteers and support HOPE.
HOPE has been asked many times by families to hold the “Coming Together” event, this event is where friendships and bonding happens through shared Traumatic grief in a way that is not doable anywhere else. HOPE will look to host a further event; funding permitting, to facilitate this and support the families to attend.
We will continue to keep creating and adding pages to the website for Oliver the Therapy dog, add updates about Collision for the alternative providers, and keep encouraging people, of all ages, to upload their artwork to the website. We will work on adding small verbal narratives so others can hear how families and individuals access the support through HOPE.
## **Financial Position**
The financial statements are set out on pages 12 to 19. The charity received total income of £139,170 in this financial year (2023: £108,848). The majority of income is grant funding and full details of grants received during the year are provided on page 16 of this report. Total expenditure for the year was £116,569 (2023: £107,692), giving a surplus for the year of £22,601 (2023: a surplus of £1,156). The total funds at the year-end stand at £82,684 (2023: £60,083).
The general reserve of the charity, represented by unrestricted funds, stands at £59,062 at the year end (2023: £39,060).
Page 9
## **HOPE - South Yorkshire Fire - Road and Water Related Trauma Support for Families**
## **Trustees' annual report - continued for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **Reserves Policy**
The reserves that we have set aside provide financial stability and the means for the development of our principal activity. We intend to maintain our reserves at a level which is at least **equivalent to 4 months of operating expenses** . The justification for setting our reserves at this level is that we currently have guaranteed funding for the entirety of the subsequent 2 funding years. Reserves should therefore only be required to cover any of the unforeseen circumstances
At 31 March 2024 the charity held unrestricted reserves of £59,062 (2023: £39,060) which based on the current year expenditure equates to just over 5.5 months operating expenses. The trustees plan to purchase a vehicle for the charity in 2024 from general funds which will reduce the amount to around 4 months.
The trustees are still looking to invest some of the general reserves into a deposit account to maximise income for the charity.
## **Statement of Trustees responsibilities**
Law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and applicable accounting standards. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ending 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 12 to 19.
## **Responsibilites and basis of report**
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirement of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directors given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.

This is the first year that the accounts have been prepared under FRS102. Previous year accounts have been prepared on the Receipts and Payments basis. The restatement of prior year comparatives is analysed in note 2 to the accounts.

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. After reviewing the charity's forecasts, projections and its reserves, the trustees have reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.
## **- Income**
Income is recognised in the SOFA when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the monies have been met, the receipt of the income is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
Income from government and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
## **- Donated good and services**
Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts, at the amount the charity would pay in the open market for a service equivalent to that being donated, when the charity would otherwise have purchased them and the value can be measured reliably.
The contribution of general volunteers is not recognised as income in the charity accounts.
## **- Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
