THE SURVIVORS TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

As Chair of Trustees for The Survivors Trust (TST), I am delighted to present our report and financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2023.

TST, a national membership organisation, continues its vital work supporting over 100,000 victims and survivors of rape and sexual abuse annually through our 118 Member Agencies across the UK and Ireland. Our mission is encapsulated in our commitment to stop rape and sexual abuse in society, advocating for effective responses, professional training, and legislative measures.

Under the exemplary leadership of our CEO Fay Maxted and the dedicated team at TST, we have played a pivotal role in providing a collective voice, peer networking, and raising awareness about the profound impact of abuse on survivors. As we navigate the aftermath of lockdowns and the pandemic, TST's resilience and dedication shine through in our successful Regional Meetings, Specialist Forums, and Workshops, fostering connections and sharing best practices.

Our national helpline, workshops addressing the cost-of-living crisis, and innovative projects like demonstrate TST's unwavering commitment to survivors' well-being. Amidst these accomplishments, we recognize the challenges survivors face, particularly the enduring impact of abuse. The leadership at TST ensures continued advocacy for better rights and services, actively engaging with stakeholders, government bodies, and strategic partnerships.

As we reflect on the past year's achievements and challenges, we remain steadfast in our commitment to promoting effective responses, lobbying for change, and providing unwavering support to survivors under the compassionate guidance of the dedicated team at TST.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the Charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006 and "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).

Achievements and performance

As TST and Member Agencies continued the process of coming out of Lockdowns and the Pandemic, we continued to hold our hugely successful and popular Regional Meetings, Specialist Forums and Specialist Workshops for Members Agencies. The support we provide for our Member Agencies through our meetings, forums and workshops helps to build strong connections throughout the sector, encourages sharing of good practice and sources of support for trauma-informed work. During the year we also launched our TST London Members’ Website providing information about services and contact details for London-based survivors.

Regional Meetings were held in the North, Midlands, South East & Eastern, South West, South Central, London and Wales. Specialist Forums were held for Member Agency staff and trustees: Family Member Support, Children and Young People, Chief Executives, Trustees, Collaborative Working, Clinical Leads, Helpline Coordinators and Finance. In addition, we held thirteen Specialist Workshops provided by a wide range of partners, stakeholders and Government Departments. In March 2023 we held our first Post-Pandemic face-to-face meeting with Member Agencies in London.

Our national helpline for survivors aged 16+, supporters and professional responded to thousands of calls during the year, providing essential care and support for many survivors who were still struggling to access community care.

Member agencies reported concerns around the cost-of-living crisis, with higher rents, utilities and salaries placing additional pressure on budgets. In response to this, we ran workshops around funding and finances, and ensured Member Agency concerns were relayed to relevant Government Departments.

During the year we established our independent team of Inspectors for our United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) accredited national service standards, led by our Policy and Standards Manager and laid the foundations for TST to become a certified inspection body for UKAS.

Our Training Team provided a wide range of bespoke and CPD accredited workshops for voluntary sector, private and public sector organisations. We also further developed our training offer for Independent Sexual Violence Advisers (ISVAs). In addition to our existing Diploma Qualification additional workshops covering specialist work with marginalised groups were developed in collaboration with survivors and practising ISVAs. tst-training

Our project continued to generate high levels of demand from NHS Trusts wishing to take advantage of workshops to support trauma-informed practice and ethos in working with victims/survivors in health settings:

ACTIVITY IN NUMBERS APRIL 2022 – MARCH 2023

Financial review

It is the intention of the National Executive Committee (NEC) that the freely available reserves of the charity should be accumulated up to a level sufficient to ensure the continuance of its activities should there be an unexpected short-term fluctuation in income. These freely available reserves are unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (i.e. “free reserves”). A sufficient level of free reserves would guarantee the continuation of TST’s activities, whilst decisions and actions were taken to find other sources of income or reduce the level of a particular activity. The Committee considers that an appropriate level of free reserves is six months’ normal expenditure, which equates to approximately £319,000 . At 31[st] March 2023 there was an amount of £709,147 as funds freely available for general purposes.

THE SURVIVORS TRUST

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees have adopted the following Risk Management Mission Statement and Risk Management Goal Statement.

The Survivors Trust’s Risk Management Mission Statement

The Survivors Trust has a moral and legal duty to its Member Agencies, staff and stakeholders. The Survivors Trust will meet its duty by ensuring that risk management plays an integral part in sound governance at both a strategic and operational level.

The NEC will support the risk management effort through setting policy and providing broad guidance on goals and objectives. However, risk management is an active process that requires co-operation y all managers, employees and volunteers and, where appropriate, Member Agencies. To that end, the NEC accepts that it must take a leadership role to ensure that appropriate measures are undertaken.

The Survivors Trust’s Risk Management Goal Statement

The NEC authorises the Policy Sub-Committee, membership of which consist of NEC Members and staff members, to undertake the following responsibilities:

These activities shall be undertaken in the service of the risk management mission statement, and to that end risk management practices are undertaken to reduce the cost of risk to TST and to maintain benefits of opportunities that the community may encounter.

Structure, governance and management

The Survivors Trust was converted into and registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 2[nd] November 2016.

THE SURVIVORS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

The Survivors Trust is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 2 Eastlands Court Business Centre, St Peters Road, Warwickshire, Rugby, CV21 3QP.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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). The Charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 Income

Income is recognised when the Charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the Charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

THE SURVIVORS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Computers

33.33% straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.6 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the Charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

THE SURVIVORS TRUST

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the Charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
