Objectives and activities

Objects and aims

To advance the education of the public and relevant professions with regard to child abuse (including the emotional and psychological consequences resulting from any form of abuse or neglect in childhood) and to provide relief and support to survivors of abuse in particular to children, teenagers and their families. To promote and protect the physical and mental health of young people, who exhibit sexually harmful behaviour.

Objectives, strategies and activities

Imara forms part of the referral pathway for children and young people who have disclosed child sexual abuse and have accessed East Midlands Children and Young People's Sexual Assault Service. A referral to Imara from EMCYPSAS leads to:

Therapeutic assessment of children and young people who are victims and survivors of child sexual abuse and of their safe family members. Timely access to pre-trial therapy based on CPS guidelines.

Therapeutic interventions, including psycho-education; teaching early intervention strategies; trauma processing and creative arts therapy sessions; Support to improve disrupted sleep and reduce anxiety symptoms. Provision of evidence based therapeutic programme: Letting the Future In.

Support from Children and Young People's Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (CHISVA) to provide legal and advocacy support throughout the Criminal Justice Process. Provision of support with housing, education, employment, finances and benefits, health, to support family members to recover and to engage with other voluntary and statutory organisations. Ongoing contact through the police investigation and the judicial process, including support through any trial.

Education and training to the safeguarding network around the child and young person; promoting health and wellbeing of children, young people and families, to empower them through their recovery. Referral on to appropriate support agencies if required, including any safeguarding concerns. Additional ongoing support provided through our:

Mentoring scheme, matching young people aged 13-24 with volunteer mentors;

Our participation group for young people with lived experience to meet weekly and to help Imara to develop and design services for children and young people, e.g. social media takeover; recruitment and selection; inclusive language on website and leaflets;

Provision of 12 week recovery groups for young people aged over 18 years.

Trustees' Report

Public benefit

Promoting recovery, supporting families to move forward and to rebuild relationships with their family members, local community and support networks.

Educating and empowering children, young people and families to rebuild family life and to support their engagement with education and employment.

Increase awareness and understanding of the dynamics of child sexual abuse and its impact on victims and survivors to the wider public, to enable them to better support children and young people, responding appropriately to disclosures and enabling safeguarding.

Involvement with local communities, universities and colleges to provide placements for trainee creative arts therapists; volunteering within the mentoring scheme; training and education for wider community.

Imara CIO works in partnership with all agencies involved in safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults to ensure everyone has comprehensive, relevant and up to date information to reduce the risks faced by children and young people.

Support with education, housing, employment, health and financial concerns for some of the most disadvantaged families in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, at a point of crisis in their lives. Partnership working with Police to support them to focus on their investigation and to enable children and young people to engage with the Criminal Justice Process and provide the best evidence if the case goes to trial. Partnership working with regional sexual violence services including the Crown Prosecution Service and other local third sector forums.

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Achievements and performance

Imara continued to provide a specialist service to children and young people following a disclosure or discovery of child sexual abuse. Over the year we have received 102 referrals into our therapy service through the sub-contract to the tender for the East Midlands Children and Young Persons Sexual Assault Service. They are entitled to then receive 10 therapy sessions and wider support to safe family members. A percentage of these accepted further therapeutic support, some for the NSPCC evidence based model, Letting the Future In, that Imara has been accredited to provide as one of the national early adopters.

229 children and young people have been referred into the CHISVA service over the year and our three CHISVA's continue to develop their skills and experience, completing additional specialist training. Imara is independently accredited by Lime Culture as meeting the Quality Standards for Independent Sexual Violence Adviser Services.

Over this period we have worked directly with 616 individuals, 469 of these individuals were children & young people.

More than 375 different families engaged with support from Imara.

The board of trustees has recruited new trustees, including a new Chair and Treasurer and other trustees have moved on; our staff team has grown; we have worked with volunteers, interns and pro-bono volunteers, to offer value added services to our clients.

Our services have expanded to allow us to remain responsive to the restrictions imposed due to Covid-19 and we continue to work in a hybrid way, using our Imara premises and other venues in the County, as well as working from home when required.

Our sleep and anxiety practitioner continues to deliver a separate project supporting children, young people and family members to help them to deal with these particularly challenging issues arising from their traumatic experiences.

We work closely with professionals and have supported children and families with safeguarding concerns, including a significant number re self harm and suicidal ideation; through the Criminal Justice Process and with a host of issues relating to housing, employment, compensation, education, benefits and debt.

Trustees' Report

We are most proud of the achievements of children and young people who, in spite of everything they are dealing with, walk through the doors of Imara, engage with us, share their thoughts and feelings through words, pictures, behaviours, play, dance and music, remain engaged with the police investigation, including for some children being required to attend court and give evidence at a criminal trial.

We are an energetic, vibrant team of committed, creative and experienced practitioners who innovate in order to stay relevant, purposeful and sustainable in difficult times. This has been evidenced in our response to Covid-19. The team show resourcefulness and resilience in continuing to adapt to changing Covid-19 restrictions, including developing skills and experience to better meet the needs of children and young people who are often experiencing higher levels of distress as a result of the losses they have faced because of the pandemic. Clients and individuals with lived experience get involved in various transformative ways: employees; trustees; volunteers; recruitment and selection process; research participants; fundraising; planning and delivering training.

The mentoring scheme has now recruited twice and we have over 30 mentors working with young people. As restrictions lifted, they have been able to meet young people face to face.

The team are challenged to remain relevant and focused on our client group. We have excellent, established links with our partners in the statutory and voluntary sector and are well respected as specialists in our field. Training: Employees and practitioners have accessed a wide range of training, both in-service training, external training and CPD training e.g. creative arts supervision diploma; Scale Up leadership programme; dyadic art therapy course; online safeguarding.

Financial review

Total income: £717,296 (2020: £423,627) Total expenditure: £620,101 (2020: £392,485) Net operating income: £97,195 (2020: £31,142)

Imara CIO reported a surplus of £97,195 (2020: £31,142) for the reporting period with closing reserves of £281,833 (2020: £184,638).

Policy on reserves

We aim to hold reserves to cover three months operating costs. Reviewing of the policy is part of the Trustees' governance strategy on an annual basis.

Major risks and management of those risks

Funding

Short term funding grants of one year that require us to constantly re-apply and to seek new sources of funding.

We have continued to apply for various grant funding and this has enabled us to provide additional services for our clients. We continue to be enourmously grateful to our major donor for his invaluable contribution to our unrestricted funding to support salary costs; additional training for staff and to purchase art materials and other resources for our clients.

We have developed our fundraising strategy for the year and in spite of the pandemic we have continued to bring in regular small donations and fundraising with the help of our amazing supporters.

We continue to be active on social media and have grown our followers and supporter base. Imara has active Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn pages. This supports our fundraising and is used to promote self care and campaigning events. Our website has been reviewed and has undergone a revamp, we are mindful of improving accessibility of the service to all children and young people, particularly those who are hard to reach.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities 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 incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

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, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees 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 to the trustees of Imara CIO

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Imara CIO

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Imara CIO (the Charity) for the year ended 30 April 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no 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; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting 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.

Imara CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2021

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Imara CIO 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 notes.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Grants receivable

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregates similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Page 11

Imara CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2021

Government grants

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Asset class Depreciation method and rate Vehicles 20% straight line

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other 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.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 April 2021

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
