## **Samaritans – Brighton, Hove and District**
## **Trustees’ Report**
## **Year Ended 31[st] March 2022**
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year.
## **Constitution and Commencement of Operations**
Samaritans – Brighton, Hove and District (the “charity”) is a charitable incorporated organisation (registration no:1170866) and an affiliated branch of Samaritans, a company limited by guarantee (registered company no: 757372) and a charity registered in England and Wales (registration no: 219432) and in Scotland (registration no:SC040604)
The charity was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation with the Charity Commission and began trading and operations on 1[st] April 2017 following the transfer of undertaking on that date from an unincorporated branch, the Samaritans of Brighton, Hove and District.
The charity (previously through the unincorporated branch) has had an affiliation with the Samaritans that reaches back over 50 years.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objects of the charity according to its Constitution are:
- To enable persons in Brighton, Hove and District and the surrounding area as well as elsewhere who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those 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;
- 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; and
- To collaborate with and support Samaritans Central Charity and its affiliates in fulfilling these Objects.
Our vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We aim to achieve this by:
- Reducing the feelings of distress and crisis that lead to suicide
- Increasing access to support for people in distress and crisis
- Reducing the risk of suicide in specific settings and vulnerable groups
- Influencing governments and other agencies to take action to reduce suicide
We are committed to the following values:
- **Listening** - because exploring feelings alleviates distress and helps people to reach a better understanding of their situation and the options open to them.
- **Confidentiality** - because if people feel safe, they are more likely to be open about their feelings.
3
- **People making their own decisions wherever possible** - because we believe that people have the right to find their own solution and telling people what to do takes responsibility away from them.
- **Being non-judgmental** - because we want people to be able to talk to us without fear or rejection.
- **Human contact** - because giving people time, undivided attention and empathy meets a fundamental emotional need and reduces stress and despair.
## **Achievements and Performance in 2021-22**
Samaritans - Brighton, Hove and District is responsible for contributing to achievement of Samaritans’ vision across a large area of Sussex, from Shoreham and Henfield in the west to Newhaven and Lewes in the east, and Haywards Heath in the north and including, of course, Brighton and Hove.
During 2021-22, our focus was on:
- 1) Giving high quality, consistent emotional support to our callers by looking after and engaging our volunteers
- We continued to support callers by answering 18,617 phone calls, making 471 outbound calls, replying to 3,238 emails and having 721 online chats
- We redesigned our information sessions for online use and devised ways to stay in touch with the large number of prospective volunteers who contacted us during the year
- We moved to online selection, integrating the branch management tool into recruitment and selection process
- We trained 30 new listeners, the maximum number possible using online training, piloted online core training provided by the central charity and adapted it to our needs
- We developed an online embedding training programme with a focus on reflection, sharing and action learning
- We provided continuous development online to all our listeners, covering topics such as, improving calls from prisoners, ending calls and volunteer well-being
- We grew the number of listeners offering mentoring to new volunteers and re-established ongoing mentoring, when relaxation of Covid-19 restrictions made it safe to do so
- We continued to deliver online continuous development opportunities to listeners
- We widened the roles available to support volunteers and ensured they are an integral part of the way the branch operates
- 2) Providing our service away from the branch to high-risk groups and those who find it hard to access our services
- We maintained our contacts with Lewes prison, holding weekly debriefs by phone during the first half of the year, until face to face meetings restarted in September 2020, albeit somewhat sporadically due to staff shortages.
- We continued to provide support to people experiencing bereavement through our partnership with Cruse
- We restarted fortnightly visits to approved premises when Covid-19 restrictions made it safe to do so
- 3) Increasing awareness of the service we offer amongst potential callers, volunteers, members of the public and local policy makers
- We continued our contacts with the Brighton and Hove Suicide Prevention Strategy Group
- We are updating our SHUSH films for schools to promote the power of listening
4
- We continued to increase awareness by providing listening training to groups of staff at local universities
- We continued our pilot project to develop training for health care professionals
- 4) Raising enough funds to run the branch effectively
- We set up and promoted individual giving through our Friends scheme, raising a total of £4,000 over the year
- We applied for and were successful in getting grants amounting to £10,874
- We identified a database of over 200 organisations and have a rolling programme of contacts to discuss how we might work together, through benefits in kind, sponsorship, selling training or participating in fundraising events
## **Samaritans in the Community**
Our goals are to:
- Be accessible to as many people as possible within our community who are vulnerable to suicide and need our services the most
- Promote good listening, mental health and well-being and raise awareness of our local Samaritans service amongst young people and within the wider community
- Encourage fundraising activity within our community to support all of our work
- Promote volunteering
Unfortunately, the pandemic continued to affect our ability to be amongst the community across our District, particularly at festivals and events, in schools, at railways stations, in Lewes Prison, at the Approved Premises, and in colleges and universities. It also had a significant impact on opportunities to inspire fundraising support with our many fantastic partners.
## **Working with children and young people**
We focused our work on a new interactive digital resource for schools on the Power of Listening - a series of five 3-minute films using the SHUSH1 listening approach and an interactive lesson resource for teachers.
We were so fortunate to have the financial support of a wonderful donor to enable these resources to be developed. All the schools and colleges in our wide district will receive these resources for the start of the 2022-23 academic year.
## **Reaching health professionals**
Throughout the year, working in partnership with GP practices, we developed a bespoke training programme for primary care staff to help them support emotionally distressed and suicidal patients. Huge thanks to Clare 2095 and Lisa 1954 for leading this work. We are evaluating this programme in 2022-23.
## **Lewes Prison**
The prison team continued to support a team of Listeners in Lewes prison. For most of the year the prison was in lockdown, due to Covid-19, and our weekly debriefs had to be by phone, though this did enable us to continue to offer emotional support to the listeners. Fortunately face to face meetings

restarted in September, albeit somewhat sporadically due to staff shortages. It was great to be back meeting with the men in person.
Throughout the year our listener numbers varied from 14 down to 7. They have taken calls and offered informal support to other prisoners. All who come through reception at the prison meet with a listener and are given information about the service.
## **Work with Cruse Bereavement Care**
Our partnership with Cruse has continued, with the charity continuing to support bereaved people referred to us by Cruse with a booked, weekly telephone call for as long as they need us. During the year, our volunteers supported dozens of people.
## **LGBTQ+ Community**
Social isolation, suicidal feelings and actions are more prevalent amongst people who identify as LGBTQ+, and as the Samaritans branch serving the city of Brighton and Hove, we are deeply committed to this section of our community. Sadly, neither the Pride nor the TransPride events happened during 2021-22 but we are delighted to be very active at both events during the summer of 2022.
## **Work with the Railway Industry and British Transport Police**
Sadly, we were not able to do any events at stations during 2021-22 to promote our partnership with Network Rail and the British Transport Police. We will review if and how to restart these events but will always offer support at our local stations following a sudden death.
## **Community fundraising**
We are keen that fundraising becomes an integral part of how we work – with our volunteers, the public and our key partner organisations – so that everyone can see the benefits of the contributions they make, either directly such as through activities, like our external training, or indirectly through projects like our Friends scheme. We have further work to do in the coming year to promote and extend these ways of raising funds.
We continue to benefit from the wonderful support of donors, such as the generous gift that funded our schools digital resources, and engagement with Samarathon and other community events. It was a thrill to participate in the Brighton Marathon 2022, where our runners raised around £4k. Our social media presence continues in support of national Samaritans initiatives as well as local activities.
Special thanks go to the fundraising team for all their hard work and dedication.
## **Looking ahead**
We are setting up a Working in the Community Steering Group, to develop our priorities for the future. These are likely to be centred around working with other organisations and bodies to reach more vulnerable individuals and communities in our area; as well as raising awareness of our service through main events like Pride, poster and leaflet placement in GP practices and pharmacies and continued working with Brighton Buses, who are offering us free poster placements and are looking to support us further. We will continue to prioritise offering emotional support outside of the branch with prison listeners and at approved premises and through Transpride.

## **Financial Review**
## **Results for the year**
The charity reports a total loss of £19,959 for the year (2020-21: net surplus £18,800). Of the loss £2,150 can be attributed to restricted activity such as grants and donations offset by a net loss of £22,000 on unrestricted activity such as fundraising and the listening service. The loss can be explained by a decline in income from fundraising and the fact that we were not able to hold any fundraising events. The other factor is an increase in the annual charity contribution to central Samaritans from under £1,000 in 2020-21 to £12,800 in 2021-22. Total income was £38,728 (2020-21: £115,133). The reduction in income over the previous year can be explained partly by the closure of the charity shop and income in 2020-21 was slightly inflated by government grants. Expenditure was also reduced at £58,687 (2020-21: £100,933). The reduction in expenditure reflects the closure of the charity shop as all associated costs of closure, including redundancy, were included in 2020-21 costs.
## **Charitable costs**
Our charitable costs, excluding fund raising and community projects, were £46,186 (2020-21: £46,472) which means it cost £127 per day (2020-21: £128 per day) to keep the charity open. This cost was slightly reduced from the previous year following the closure of the charity’s shop in 2021-20.
## **Funding sources**
Funding sources included donations from individuals and charitable trusts, our ‘Listen like a Samaritan’ workshops and investment income. Although the level of income generated can be volatile the charity plans to generate sufficient to cover the costs of running the Centre in any year.
We are very grateful to the individuals, companies and charitable trusts who support us in this way. All services including administration and fundraising are delivered by volunteers and we are also very grateful to them for donating their time and expertise as they do.
## **Reserves Policy**
The charity has a reserves policy to enable continuity of service should a sustained income downturn be experienced, or should other reasonably foreseeable losses crystallise.
The charity’s reserves policy during the year required the charity to maintain a minimum level of 12 months of operating costs excluding depreciation, as free reserves.
As at 31 March 2022, the charity held around £176,000 in ‘free’ reserves, which equates to about 36 months of normal expenditure. Free reserves are the total unrestricted reserves of £405,853 less reserves tied up in fixed assets of £230,035.
## **Investment Policy**
Where the Trustees consider that there is a reasonable likelihood that the charity has sufficient resources to meet obligations as they fall due, surplus cash reserves are invested to obtain a financial return for the charity subject to prioritising security (investing with regulated counterparties) then liquidity (appropriate maturity profile) over yield.
At 31 March 2022 (and the previous year end reporting date), just over one third of our cash reserves were invested in a charitable fund. The fund has generated reasonable investment income over the last three years, but its value can be volatile in a time of uncertainty for global financial markets.
## **Risk Management**
In planning and reviewing our activities this year, the Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commissions’ guidance on public benefit. The Trustees are satisfied that the activities undertaken by the branch meet the charity’s purposes for the public benefit.
7
The Trustees maintain a branch risk register, which is reviewed quarterly with Trustees to ensure we plan and manage the running of the charity as smoothly as possible.
The Trustees have taken out a comprehensive insurance policy to protect against a wide variety or risks. This policy includes Trustee Indemnity Insurance.
## **Trustee Governance and Management**
The charity is bound by the terms of its Constitution dated 1[st] April 2017. The Constitution is available on request from the Branch Secretary at the registered office. Full governance and management details are included in the constitution, but provisions include the following:
- The Trustees manage the affairs of the charity and may, for that purpose, exercise all the powers of the charity. It is the duty of each Trustee to exercise their powers and to perform their functions in good faith, in the way that would be most likely to further the purposes of the charity, and using such care and skill as is reasonable in the circumstances.
- The minimum number of Trustees is three and the maximum number of Trustees thirteen. The Trustees may appoint (co-opt) up to two additional Trustees (the ‘Co-opted Trustees’), particularly but not exclusively in order to fill identified gaps in expertise on the charity’s Board of Trustees, so long as the total number of Trustees does not exceed thirteen.
- The Director of the charity is the person selected for that position following a process approved by the Samaritans Central Charity (SCC). The Branch Director serves a 3-year term, which may be extended by up to 12 months in exceptional circumstances by the approval of the SCC’s Board of Trustees.
- Any decision of the Trustees may be taken either at a meeting of the Trustees or by unanimous resolution, using phone or email or other means to reach a common view.
- Trustees may delegate their powers or functions to another committee.
- The Branch Director is the charity’s representative on the Regional Council and the Council of Samaritans. He or she shall consult the Trustees and Members of the Charity before exercising any of the rights and privileges he or she enjoys as a member of the SCC and its Councils, but shall not be bound by their views
Trustees of the charity have not been remunerated for services provided although they may receive additional training strictly to assist them in directing the pursuit of charitable objects.

## **Samaritans - Brighton, Hove & District Director’s Report**
## **Year Ended 31[st] March 2022**
I took over as Director in April 2022, at the end of a year that we all hope we’ll look back on as belonging to another time, when we were struggling against the pandemic, its restrictions and the challenges it created for the Branch.
We did come through it, and can take pride in the fact that we continued to support our callers and each other and kept all the various aspects of the branch going. I would like to pay tribute to everyone involved and particularly to my predecessor, Susie and her leadership team for coping with so admirably with so much adversity.
This report contains some important numbers for 2021-22 - calls answered, emails replied to, recruitment and training delivered, funds raised and spent, outreach activities we were able to do. Numbers rarely tell the whole story and that is especially true here. It is partly because they don’t reflect all the ways we found of doing things differently – outreach films for young people, training on zoom and phone, supporting listeners in Lewes prison by phone to name but a few. Above all, they don’t capture the spirit that is the heart of the Branch. That is the reason why I am optimistic about our future.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustee’s Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and 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 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 judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- State whether applicable standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity with continue in operation.

## **Samaritans – Brighton, Hove & District**
## **Notes to the Accounts**
## **Year Ended 31[st] March 2022**
## **Note 1: Basis of preparation**
## **1.1 Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognized at cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the notes to the accounts. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts
The Charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102.
## **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.
## **Note 2: Basis of accounting policies**
## **2.1 Recognition of income**
Income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:
- The charity becomes entitled to the resources;
- It is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
- The monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
## **Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS102 SORP or FRS102.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP)
In the case of performance related grants, income is only recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS102 SORP).
## **Legacies**
16
Legacies are included in the SoFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
## **Contractual income and performance related grants**
This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.
## **Donated goods**
The charity receives donated and bought in goods for resale at its leased shop premises, in Hove. As the Trustees consider the costs of valuation to outweigh the benefits to users of the accounts and the charity of this information, the donated goods are recognised when they are sold.
## **Donated services and facilities**
The charity relied upon the unpaid contribution of volunteers in pursuit of the Samaritans’ vision and in providing the necessary support and administration. However, it is impractical for their contribution to be measured reliably for accounting purposes.
## **Support Costs**
The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.
## **Volunteer help**
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustee report.
## **Income from interest, royalties and dividends**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
## **Investment gains and losses**
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting in revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.
## **2.2 Expenditure and Liabilities**
17
## **Liability recognition**
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Support costs**
Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on the basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
## **Provision for liabilities**
A liability is measured at recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
## **Basic financial instruments**
The charity accounts for basic financial instruments on initial recognition as per paragraph 10.7 FRS 102 SORP. Subsequent measurement is as per paragraphs 11.17 to 11.19, FRS 102 SORP.
## **2.3 Assets**
## **Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity**
Purchases are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost more than £500. They are valued at cost.
Depreciation rates are applied as follows: Leasehold building – 2% on a straight line basis Fixtures & fittings – 25% on a reducing balance
## **Investments**
Fixed asset investments in quoted shared, traded bonds and similar investments are valued initially at cost and subsequently at fair value (their market value) at year end. The same treatment is applied to unlisted investments unless fair value cannot be measured reliably in which case it is measured at cost less impairment.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
18
The charity has cash and cash equivalents with a maturity date less than one year. These include cash on deposit with a maturity date of less than one year held for investment purposes rather than to meet short term cash commitments as they fall due. The charity accounts for these balances as basic financial instruments.

## Note 16. Movement in Funds
23
The charity received a restricted donation of £37,500 in 2020-2021 which was given by a major donor for various community projects undertaken by the branch. We have spent £2,700 so far and the remaining money will be used to fund a film aimed at young people. The film has already been commissioned and will be completed in the current financial year.
The money from the NHS Suicide Prevention Fund was given to fund a film for use in HMP Lewes to raise awareness of our work and for information and education around suicide. Work on the film has started but owing to the COVID crisis we have not been able to complete it.
The grant from Central Samaritans originating from a grant from the Pears Fund was used to set up and purchase equipment for an additional work station for use by a listening volunteer in the Centre.
## **Designated Funds**
At the beginning of the year there was £3,779 in the designated fund representing income set aside by the Trustees for our ‘Facing the Future’ project. No work was able to be done on this community project during the year and the balance remains.
The Trustees set aside £30,000 in 2019-2020 to fund new work in the community. Planning for this has been delayed by the COVID pandemic and will begin at some point in the future. There has also been a change in Director during 2021-2022 which has seen a refocus on future priorities.
Note 17.
## **Transactions with related parties**
During the year expenses to reimburse travel and other out of pocket expenses of £0 were paid to 0 Trustee (2020 – 2021 £0). There were no other transactions undertaken with related parties.
