BRAMBER BAKEHOUSE EXISTS TO SUPPORT AND EMPOWER FEMALE SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND MODERN SLAVERY.
Since launching in 2014, we’ve witnessed firsthand the complexities faced by survivors because of the harsh and unfortunate events they have experienced. Many face considerable barriers in re-creating and redefining their future with a lack of housing provision, health services, language support, access to education, employment and more.
At Bramber Bakehouse, we work holistically with women, offering a safe space to access skills-based training and wellbeing support, which enable them to overcome these barriers, prepare for education and/or work and integrate into the wider community.
It’s been our biggest year to date; we’ve employed three members of staff, transformed our baking, wellbeing and employability programme and welcomed dozens of women through our doors. We’ve witnessed positive changes to immigration statuses, seen women enter voluntary work and higher education and built a community who can grow together along the way.
We’re looking forward to the many ways in which we can grow to support and empower female survivors, seeing them live full and thriving lives.

THROUGH BAKING WORKSHOPS, WELLBEING SUPPORT AND LIFE SKILLS, BRAMBER BAKEHOUSE EQUIP AND EMPOWER WOMEN ON THEIR JOURNEY TO RESTORATION AND RECOVERY. BRAMBER BAKEHOUSE RUN PROGRAMMES FOCUSING ON FOUR KEY ELEMENTS:
WELLBEING SESSIONS
THERAPEUTIC BAKING SKILLS
Our wellbeing programme is focused on reducing social isolation, community development connections and peer support, helping survivors feel valued and relaxed, reducing traumatic stress.
Women learn a variety of baking skills - from kitchen basics to more complex baking techniques. Each workshop enables women to forge a community, learning alongside others who have experienced similar trauma and isolation because of their past experiences.
Case study analysis shows baking is proven to promote wellbeing, strengthen confidence and self-esteem, whilst providing environments for relationships to flourish.
LIFE SKILLS
We prepare women for independence, giving them the skills needed to engage with voluntary work, paid employment or education.
ONGOING SUPPORT
Developing community and relationships outside professional support workers are an integral part of improving mental health, building an independent life and social change.
ONE TO WATCH
We are currently working to implement a mentoring programme utilising our dedicated volunteers to deliver further support to survivors.
The Trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the Charity should undertake.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

“Organisations supporting survivors in work have highlighted that access to work helps strengthen a sense of purpose, allowing survivors to maintain and develop skills which provide them with choices and pathways out of exploitation. It also improves mental wellbeing by empowering them to be forward looking with hope for a different future. Finally, it equips survivors with current and relevant work experience and means they can move on from employment gaps which can be difficult to explain to prospective employer”

EMILY’S STORY
Emily* was trafficked into the UK in 2020. After her rescue, she was referred to Bramber Bakehouse and joined our cohort in July 2021. A keen baker, Emily was quick to learn each bake, taking the recipe home each week to make, sharing delicious baked products with her household. She even surprised our community with homemade chicken pies during our workshop!
During her time on the Bramber Bakehouse programme, Emily worked alongside our Programme Coordinator to identify three goals she’d like to work towards:
-
Increase her mental wellbeing through sport and exercise
-
Improve her English, Maths and computers skills
-
Build her experience with hope of volunteering in the community
With the support of her case worker, working alongside our Programme Coordinator, Emily is undertaking a course via a local training provider for functional skills and computing and is due to start working with the local premiership football team community project to get adults engaged in sport and fitness.
She’s also taken up a volunteer role at Bramber Bakehouse, an opportunity, we hope, will help her to grow in confidence, increase her English skills and enable other survivors to learn from her experience.
Alongside this, Emily has just accepted another volunteering opportunity in her local town, enabling her to further her skills and experience.
We are so proud of how far Emily has come and can’t wait to see what the future has in store.

HIGHLIGHTS IN 2021
This year we designed a new baking, wellbeing and employability programme, ensuring women are receiving wellrounded support.
Our staff and volunteer community grew with three paid staff members and a further six volunteers helping us make a difference.
In October and December, we welcomed Her Royal Highness, Princess Eugenie and Julia De Boinville, from the Anti-Slavery Collective to share in our programme and journey.
In July, we joined together with our staff, volunteers and trustees to celebrate the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service.

THE FUTURE
BEYOND OUR HOPES AND GOALS FOR WOMEN, WE HAVE SOME AMBITIOUS INTERNAL GOALS TO DELIVER OUR MISSION MORE EFFECTIVELY.
As a result, Bramber Bakehouse are looking for a building – a permanent home – which would enable us to:
-
Accept every women who applies for the programme
-
Run multiple programmes throughout the week
-
Develop and expand our programme to reach its’ full potential
-
Expand our reach, supporting other groups of vulnerable women
IN 2021, WE TURNED AWAY 31% OF FEMALE SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND MODERN SLAVERY DUE TO A LACK OF PHYSICAL SPACE TO RUN THE PROGRAMME.
-
Provide voluntary and paid work opportunities for female graduates
-
Create a safe and caring hub for women to drop in and/or meet regularly
-
Generate income, working towards a model of sustainability and social enterprise
Since our journey began, we have tried and tested pop-up bakeries, selling baked products with a purpose.
We are actively working towards a model which will see Bramber Bakehouse become semi-self-sustainable, launching a social enterprise bakery providing voluntary opportunities and long-term employment for those we support and empower.

RESPONSIBILITIES
----- End of picture text -----
The Trustees, who are also the directors of Bramber Bakehouse for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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 UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
BRAMBER BAKEHOUSE HAD A DEFICIT OF £17,125 (FEB-2021: SURPLUS £44,821) IN THE PERIOD RESULTING IN FUNDS CARRIED FORWARD OF UNRESTRICTED £6,000 (FEB-2021: £91,766), DESIGNATED £37,803 (FEB-2021: £NIL) AND RESTRICTED £30,838 (FEB-2021: £NIL).
Bramber Bakehouse’s principal source of funds comes through grants from trusts and foundations and monthly support from independent donors.
The main expenditure includes salaries and the running of the Bramber Bakehouse programme including covering transportation costs, materials, ingredients as well as marketing supplies, accounting and administration fees. Each of these aspects are the building blocks which allow the programmes to run, encouraging the development and learning of new skills and enabling integration back into the community and society as a whole for those who participate.
RESERVES POLICY
This year, we have introduced a Reserves Policy which provides for 3 months of annual expenditure. Donations received have ensured the charity was in a good financial position coming out of lockdown to the extent that we were able to run additional workshops and work towards developing and advancing the programme and support offered to many more women.
The Trustees have acknowledged the need to diversify the income streams, enabling the Charity to become semiself-sustainable in the long-run, through the sales of baked products as well as continuing donations.
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL REPORT
The Trustees’ report was approved by the Board of Trustees on 24th June 2022, and signed on its behalf by Alistair Wickens, Chair of Bramber Bakehouse.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 Accounting policies
Company information
Bramber Bakehouse is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Chantry House, 22 Upperton Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN21 1BF.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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)”. 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 applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 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. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
These financial statements have been prepared for the period 1 March 2021 to 31 December 2021, to bring the financial year in line with the calendar year.
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 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.
Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the Charity.
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.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Donated goods are measured at fair value, with an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.
The charity relies significantly upon volunteers. However given the impracticality of measuring their contribution for accounting purposes, volunteer contributions have not been included as income.
1.5 Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised when an obligation exists, payment is probable and the amount can be measured reliably.
1.6 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment 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 basis:
Computers 20% 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.
1.7 Impairment of non-current 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).
1.8 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other payables 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 payables 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 payables 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.
1.10 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2.0 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Bramber Bakehouse (the Charity) for the period ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Trustees of the Charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the Charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the Charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
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 financial statements to be reached.
