**The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth** Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
The charity appoints a Director from amongst its volunteers once every three years. The Director is responsible for the operation of the charity and is assisted by deputies who have responsibility for the following areas in common with other Samaritan branches:
- Volunteer Support
- Caller Support
- Training
- Prisons
- Outreach and publicity
- Administrative call distribution
None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the Charity.
## **Investment Powers**
The Constitution authorises the trustees to use all money raised to further its objects and to do all things that are lawful and conducive to the attainment of those objects and does not prevent investment.
## **Risk Management**
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to give due consideration to the risks to which the charity is exposed and have set in place processes to identify and manage risks through Risk Registers. Risks are regularly reviewed, assessed, managed and escalated appropriately in accordance with the Risk Management policy. Risk management processes are in place and continue to be developed as required throughout the organisation.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Statement of Purpose**
The charity has been supporting people in distress, working from a building opposite the Railway Station in Weymouth, for more than 50 years. Although we are a local charity we are part of the whole Samaritan movement. As well as talking to people Face to Face, on the Telephone and by Email, we are also involved with the HM Prison YOI Portland, where we train and support prisoners as Samaritan Listeners. We also support the HMP The Verne Portland.
The objectives set out in the Constitution are:
- 1) To enable persons in Dorset and the surrounding area as well as elsewhere who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including these who may be at risk of suicide, to receive confidential emotional support at any time of the day or night in order to improve their emotional health and to reduce the incidence of suicide.
- 2) To promote a better understanding in society of suicide, suicidal behaviour and the value of expressing feelings which may otherwise lead to suicide or impaired emotional health.
- 3) To collaborate with and support Samaritans Central Charity and its affiliated branches in fulfilling these objectives.
Our Vision is still that fewer people die by suicide with our Mission being to alleviate emotional distress and reduce the incidence of suicidal feelings and behaviour.

## **Policies**
The Trust is committed to the continuous improvement of our practices, policies and procedures and continues to review and update policies as required.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
During the year the branch, with the help of our Regional Director, went through the process of selecting a new Director and I(Jane) agreed to take on the role.
The work of our Branch has continued with volunteers providing many hundreds of hours of listening to our callers who are often in deep distress and who, at present, contact us by telephone and e-mail. We rarely receive direct feedback from our callers on whether we have helped them, but we do know they are often grateful for being given the chance to offload their feelings to us. It is not unusual to receive a donation that refers to the time when we helped the donor or a relative who would not be alive today if it had not been for the Samaritans.
Over the early part of 2021 we completed our Quality Outcome Framework (QOF) document that allows us to show what we are doing and how we are doing it. The process was restricted to on-line access rather than would normally involve a one-day visit from a QOF reviewer. The review was completed successfully, and I must thank Andrew for his excellent work in steering us through this exercise.
As many of you know 2020 marked our 50th Anniversary as a branch and we had hoped to celebrate this achievement but were unable to in the manner that we had anticipated. Nevertheless, it remains a remarkable fact that Weymouth has provided support to those in distress and despair over this period and we have many past volunteers as well as our existing team to thank for their efforts.
Our Safeguarding and Signposting procedures are in constant use to ensure that, where relevant, the appropriate levels of advice and practical support are available for our callers of all ages from other relevant and appropriate organisations. It is comforting to know that we have the mechanisms in place to address safeguarding concerns even though it has been shown that the numbers being raised are a very small in relation to our total number of callers.
We have continued to work with the two Prison establishments on HMP The Verne Portland and HMP YOI Portland although the impact of COVID on the prison population has meant that we have not been able to be as involved as normal.
Despite the impositions of the various lockdowns our recruitment activities have not reduced and with the introduction of a more centralised approach and greater use of on-line recruitment and training functionality. We have been successful in recruiting and training more new volunteers than for many years past.
Our Recruitment, Publicity and Outreach activities will in future be aided by the Branch Management Tool which is intended to centralise web-based selection and training. Among other things, this would allow volunteers flexibility on where those activities could take place.
As with other activities our ability to reach out to the community has been curtailed but our outreach team has continued to keep in touch with various organisations to ensure that whenever we can, we will be there for them.

**The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth** Trustees’ Report For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
Although our major fund-raising events were cancelled or restricted, we remain indebted to Tim and Hilary Warren who arranged plant and produce sales to replace Chesil Rocks and Jacci Pestana who continued to support our plant sales from the Wishing Well even when it was closed.
The governance of the Branch as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation continued (a local charity affiliated to the Central Samaritan Charity), ensuring we remain legally compliant and provide an environment in which volunteers are happy to work in. The Branch was managed by the Branch Management Team, a mixture of elected trustees and appointed Deputy Directors, again all volunteers.
We have continued to use the system put in place last year to keep in touch with our ex-volunteers and helpers, which is compliant with Data Protection as we feel it is really important to maintain contact with our many friends and supporters. These contacts continue to build as we add new supporters who have expressed an interest while using our online donation page.
We are still focussed on providing the necessary hygienic management of our branch and have become more accustomed to utilising on-line meeting functionality at both branch and regional level. Our new call management system has expanded to cover other elements of our service and we have recently taken delivery of Chrome boxes provided by Head Office with the intention of creating a standard hardware infrastructure across the organisation.
During the next few months, we will be undertaking major repair work to the roof of our property and we are indebted to The Valentine Trust for a donation of £10,000 which will be utilised to meet part of this cost.
While drafting this report I have received the amazing news that we have received a grant of £10,000 from The Pears Foundation to assist with the reorganisation of our branch so that we are better placed to manage the on-going impact of the pandemic.
## **BRANCH STATISTICS**
Throughout the year ended 31 March 2021 the automated Samaritans telephone system was used enabling us to accurately capture statistical data on our call volumes for the year, although, importantly, not the content, for confidentiality reasons.
When COVID-19 restrictions were imposed our ability to provide a face-to-face service was ended and some of our volunteers were unable to attend branch due to shielding requirements. Despite this we were still able to support large numbers of callers.
We spoke to a caller on the telephone 13,316 times as opposed to 15,941 times in 2020. During the same period, we responded to 687 emails (1,104 in 2020). In addition, some of our shielding volunteers supported the Samaritans help line set up to support NHS workers.
These figures demonstrate that we remain constantly in demand.
A heartfelt thank you to all our Weymouth Samaritans who were there for our callers throughout another busy year.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial Position**
Income and endowments in the year were £47,431 (2020: £40,238).
Net income of £14,172 was made in the year (2020: Net income of £907). At the balance sheet date total reserves were £183,456 (2020: £169,284).
The charity maintains a cash balance of £126,511 (2020: £108,683), and has net current assets of £127,162 (2020: £108,846). Total net assets are £183,456 (2020: £169,284).
While our fund-raising activities have been restricted by the various periods of lockdown we have benefited from tremendous support in the form of alternative fund. In addition, we received grants from Dorset Council totalling £8,901.
The grant from The Valentine Trust, referred to above, will assist with the costs of repairs to our roof. When added to the Designated Property Reserve set up in past years this will enable us to meet the expected cost of this work without significant impact on the result for the year.
Despite all of this our volunteers have continued to keep the branch open to support our callers and although we have saved some expenses due to some enforced inactivity in training and recruitment these have to some extent been offset by additional health and safety expenditure.
Other overheads have remained as in past years with the result that we have returned a profit of £4,172 after the transfer of £10,000 to the designated fund. The roof repairs referred to above are likely to be in the region of £35,000 and our cash resources are sufficient to meet this.
At present we expect to be able to resume fund-raising in the community in the summer. We will look for alternative sources for grants and donations and believe that we remain in a strong position to meet our overheads from the resources we currently hold.

## **Reserves Policy**
At 31 March 2021, this policy equated to approximately £183,456 in total of unrestricted reserve funds.
The Trustees are aware that, except for a small amount of investment income, they rely totally on donations for their income. While historically they have received substantial support from a local event and recently been in receipt of two large legacies the annual running costs of the branch are such that they believe it is essential to maintain a level of reserves sufficient to cover not less than 2 years expenses.
To maintain a presence in the centre of Weymouth and close to the railway station the Charity occupies a grade 2 listed building the freehold of which was acquired some years ago.
The potential costs of any maintenance or unforeseen remedial work to such a building can be substantial and consequently the Trustees believe that reserves covering two years’ expenses are not adequate.
In the recent years the Charity has received two significant legacies both of which were left specifically for Samaritans of Weymouth. Considering the particular commitments to the existing building referred to above the Trustees intend to set these legacies aside as a Property Maintenance Reserve. The reserve will total £35,500 and will be available for any significant expenditure on the property.
Reasons for a specific property maintenance reserve
- The standard of repair required for a grade 2 listed building requires specialist and therefore expensive advice and expertise.
- The likelihood of repairs and maintenance to a building of this age and structure is greater than for a more modern building
The lift, installed is regularly maintained but it would be prudent to set aside funds for its possible replacement
In addition, as part of its agreement with the central charity the charity is required to make an annual contribution based on income received and reserves in hand. Having projected the impact of this contribution over the next five years the Trustees are of the view that reserves should be at a level equivalent to at least 2.5 years’ expenses otherwise a decline in income, could have a serious impact on the Charity’s ability to maintain its presence.
During last year further damage caused by water ingress in another part of the property was discovered and builders were contacted to deal with this. Unfortunately, the regulations surrounding the COVID-19 outbreak have prevented the commencement of this work but when it is eventually carried out the costs will be set against the Property Maintenance Reserve, referred to above, which was created last year for exactly this type of event.
## **GOING CONCERN**
The Trustees have no uncertainties concerning the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards including Financial Reporting Standard 102: _The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland_ (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The 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 state of affairs of the charity and of the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting 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, and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. 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.

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the 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.

**The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
## **1 Accounting Policies**
## 1.1
## **General information and basis of accounting**
The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation governed by its Constitution. The address of the principal office is given on page 1. The nature of the charity’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the Trustees report on pages 2-5.
The financial statements have been prepared in £ sterling on the historical cost basis and in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
## 1.2
## **Income**
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
Donation and legacy income is received by way of donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Investment income in respect of funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably. This is normally upon notification of the interest paid by the bank.
## 1.3
## **Donated services**
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), any unpaid general volunteer time is not recognised in the financial statements.
## 1.4
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its charitable activities and services. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and costs of an indirect nature which are necessary to support them.
## 1.5
## **Fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are included on the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation which is provided using the following basis:
Freehold Property 2% pa straight line basis Lift system 20% pa reducing balance basis Motor vehicles 20% pa reducing balance basis Fixtures and Fittings 20% pa reducing balance basis

**The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth** Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 March 2021
## 1.6 **Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## 1.7 **Creditors**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount.
## 1.8 **Taxation**
The Samaritans of Dorset at Weymouth is a registered charity and is therefore not liable to taxation to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value added tax is not recoverable and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
## 1.9 **Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets this criterion is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs as appropriate.
## 1.10 **Financial instruments**
The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and liabilities of the charity and their measurements are as follows:
Financial assets – Prepayments are not financial instruments.
Cash at bank – is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.
Financial liabilities – Trade creditors and accruals are financial instruments and are measured at amortised cost as detailed in note 11.
