STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing Document

The charity is controlled by its Constitution, dated 26[th] June 2017 and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation which was registered with the Charity Commission on 26[th] June 2017.

Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees

The Trustees, other than the Branch Director, are appointed at the Annual General Meeting of the branch. The Trustees can co-opt extra members who serve on the committee but have no vote. The Board of Trustees is chaired by the Branch Director who is appointed from amongst the Branch membership. In planning activities for the year, the Board of Trustees keeps in mind the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Organisational Structure

Broadly speaking, the work of the branch is the responsibility of the Branch Director and Deputy Directors, whilst the administration of the Charity (such as the finances) is the responsibility of the Trustees. The volunteers who have served as Trustees during the year are listed above.

The Branch Director is Brian Rouse who succeeded Carol Grant in July 2021. Normally the Branch Director’s appointment is recommended by the Branch and approved by the national Council of Samaritans. The Branch Director would normally serve for a term of three years. The Branch Director chooses and appoints Deputy Directors. The Branch Director is also a Trustee.

Introduction and Training of New Trustees

New Trustees undergo an induction process to brief them on their legal obligations under Charity Law, the Charity‘s governing documents, the Board and decision-making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the Charity. During the induction process they meet other Trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external and internal training events, which will assist them in carrying out their role.

Indemnity Insurance

The Samaritans has centrally co-ordinated indemnity insurance to protect Branch Directors, Trustees and other volunteer members of all Samaritans’ branches.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES, PLANS AND FUTURE COMMITMENTS

Objectives and Activities

The charity’s main objectives and activities are;

Volunteers

At 31[st] March 2021 there were 72 members of the Charity. 14 provide support to the activity of the charity through volunteering in our shops. 58 provide emotional support to people who contact the Charity by phone, through email and text messaging, and by visiting the branch in Chapel Lane.

The volunteers provided more than 3,061 “Person Hours” of availability.

Samaritans of Stoke on Trent and Newcastle

Our branch provides a service primarily intended for the benefit of people of Stoke on Trent and Newcastle and the surrounding area, but it also works with all Samaritan branches to provide 24-hour availability of the service across the UK. The branch currently provides emotional support by telephone, face to face and email.

Samaritans do not charge for the services. We accept reserve charge calls and ring callers back and offer a free phone number 116123.

We also work outside the branch in the local community, at Dovegate Prison with the Listener Scheme and in partnership with Network Rail at Stoke Station.

We are part of the Samaritans network of 201 branches in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The Samaritans vision is that fewer people die by suicide and we work to achieve this vision by making it our mission to alleviate distress and reduce the incidence of suicidal feelings and behaviours.

Samaritans are committed to the following values:

Activities

See details of the activities in the year within the Branch Director’s report.

Future Plans

We have three main objectives for the future. The first is to increase our volunteer numbers so that more hours can be offered into what is now a national rota, to meet the 24 hour availability of a Samaritan listening volunteer to anyone phoning or emailing us. Plans to roll out instant messaging, another communication channel, are progressing well and have been tested in pilots. The second is to ensure the financial stability of the charity by seeking to find additional sources of funding and through the control of our costs. Our third objective is to engage and promote good emotional health within the community we serve and to work in partnership with other organisations which offer support to those in need.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021 (CONTINUED)

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:

Attention has been focussed on financial risks, operational risks and other risks arising from fire and health and safety. These risks are managed by ensuring accreditation is up to date, having robust policies and procedures in place, and regular awareness training for staff and volunteers.

RESERVES POLICY AND GOING CONCERN

Reserves are needed to bridge the gap between the spending and receiving of income and to cover unplanned emergency repairs and other expenditure and at the year end total funds totalled £243,277 ( 2020: £215,555 ) comprising unrestricted funds of £231,277 ( 2020: £215,555 ) and restricted funds of £12,000 ( 2020: £Nil ). At the year end cash at bank and in hand totalled £124,154 ( 2020: £87,838 ). Of the total unrestricted funds of £231,277, £129,833 can only be realised by disposing of tangible fixed assets.

The trustees consider that the ideal level of reserves as at 31[st] March 2021 would be £200,000.

The Charity had no reserves with a negative balance at the year end.

Given the current levels of reserves and Net Current Assets, the trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES

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

BRANCH DIRECTOR’S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021

Samaritans of Stoke on Trent & Newcastle remains an affiliate branch of the Samaritans Central Charity, managed by a single branch leadership team consisting of key persons such as the Branch Director, Trustees, Deputy Directors and Officers.

It seems a lot longer than six months ago that I got the call from Peter Hammond, Regional Director, asking if I would consider becoming Branch Director. Although initially apprehensive, I am extremely glad that I accepted the role and already feel settled into it. This is due to the tremendous support of the deputy directors and the support and incredible work of everyone in the branch. So, thank you everybody.

Before I go any further, I must also thank my predecessors Carol and Mark for all the hard work they put in as Branch Directors. Carol did a wonderful job, moving the branch forward, increasing volunteer numbers, then guiding us through Covid 19 restrictions, making sure the branch remained operational but safe for all the volunteers and then seeing us through a difficult financial position with all three shops closed. She also ensured that the shops were safe to open as restrictions lifted.

Mark continued the good work, including moving the operations room due to a flood. He also had to work hard to hold the branch together as it went through a difficult section nine inspection.

The section nine inspection resulted in an improvement plan to address the issues, which has now been completed, and the quality review. As all the issues have now been resolved, we are no longer subject to Section Nine review, and of our five Trustees, four are recent appointments. The actual details of the investigation must remain confidential.

I find it amazing how Mark managed to lead the Branch Leadership Team during this very difficult period, ensuring the branch kept moving forward despite the restrictions brought in by the pandemic and at the same time ensuring the Section 9 investigation did not have a negative effect on the branch.

One positive of the investigation was the outcome of the quality review which confirmed the healthy state of the branch. In its conclusions it stated that:

“The Branch has faced difficult issues in the past few months”

“Despite these, it has continued to function well and develop new ways of working”.

“The resilience of the Branch is testament to its strong leadership and to the commitment of its volunteers. The Branch Leadership Team, headed by the Interim Director has provided united and clear direction and support for the Branch. The volunteers are committed, work together exceptionally well, respond in an emergency and support each other at every level”.

This has given me a strong platform from which to move the branch forward. We currently have 82 active members of the branch of which 72 are listening volunteers. We have given in total an average of 100 hours of volunteer time each week. By looking at ways to increase the number of shifts completed by our current listeners and by increasing the number of volunteers that we train each year, we want to increase the number of hours that the branch provides.

As well as working with Covid, we have also had to deal with a flood which resulted in the operations room being moved upstairs to the space usually used for training. After some initial hiccups with moving phone lines, the move was seen as positive due the training room being bigger, lighter and airier than the old room. However, as this is an excellent space both for our and regional training, we will be moving back downstairs but into the old meeting room.

The pandemic restrictions have led to the use technology in a variety of ways and thanks to Chris 3 we are all now experts in Teams and Zoom. As well as meetings going on-line, we have had a virtual induction evening, new Samaritans interviews via Teams and virtual training; this actually made the practice calls much more convenient for our trainers. When we get back to normal, I am sure some of these activities will remain online.

BRANCH DIRECTOR’S REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021 (CONTINUED)

The Burslem shop was shut earlier in the year due to financial pressure but both the Stoke and Cheadle shops continue to bring in a useful income. The Cheadle shop had some particular problems opening with Covid restrictions due to its size, but by being very innovative, Vikki moved the shop outside into the outdoor market so that she could continue trading.

Earlier in the year Dovegate prison eventually opened its doors to allow our volunteers to support the prison listeners and Simon commenced fortnightly visits accompanied by volunteers from our branch and from Leek. He also managed to train nine new listening volunteers.

The branch has had to also manage a raft of initiatives and updates from central office. They have included changes in software and hardware, such as the move to Link and the use of Chrome Boxes, to new guidelines and procedures for child protection and the moving of emails and caller support to national hubs. Whilst integrating these changes into our practice, we have ensured that the branch continues to provide an excellent service for our callers and I thank everybody for this.

As we move forward, our priorities are:

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Samaritans of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transition value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and have been rounded to the nearest pound.

b) Preparation of the accounts on a Going Concern Basis

Given the current levels of reserves and Net Current Assets, the trustees are of the view that the charity is a going concern.

c) Income

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 funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations and revenue grants are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. Capital grants are shown as deferred income and credited to the Statement of Financial Activities over the same depreciation periods as the assets to which they relate.

d)

Interest Receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

e) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, and where appropriate, a fair allocation of the depreciation charge.

SAMARITANS OF STOKE-ON-TRENT AND NEWCASTLE

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2021 (CONTINUED)

f)

Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

g)

Allocation of Support Costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity’s activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 5.

h) Operating Leases

Rentals under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they fall due.

i) Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Expenditure is capitalised as Fixed Assets in accordance with current accounting principles. Tangible fixed assets are depreciated at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life at the following annual rates:-

j)

Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

k)

Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and balances in bank current accounts and bank deposit accounts.

l)

Creditors and provisions

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 normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
