## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

Durham Samaritans, hereafter called The Charity, is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”) which was registered on 27 July 2017 with the Charities Commission of England and Wales. The Constitution of Durham Samaritans, last amended on 27 November 2018, covers the Objects of the CIO, its governance and all aspects of its operation. Following the establishment of the CIO, Durham Samaritans is now recognised as a legal entity with the right to enter into contracts and agreements giving its Trustees the same protection as directors of a limited liability company. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the Charity. The trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefits. The trustees meet monthly and are responsible for all decisions taken in relation to running the Charity. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of trustees** 

The trustees of the Charity comprise 

- the Branch Director 

- the elected trustees, being a trustee elected by the members with the role of secretary and a trustee elected by the members with the role of treasurer (or one trustee elected by the Members to serve as both secretary and treasurer) 

- up to eight additional trustees elected by the Members 

- up to two co-opted trustees appointed in accordance with clause 12.4 of the Constitution 

All trustees have the same rights, duties and responsibilities unless otherwise specified in the constitution. All members of the Charity (including the trustees) may make nominations for individuals to stand for election as elected trustees. 

**OBJECTS** 



The objects of the Charity are: 

- To enable persons in Durham 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 affiliated branches in fulfilling these Objects. 

## **ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Volunteer Care** 

Rota management has been more difficult with fewer volunteers available because of the Covid pandemic. Some of our volunteers have had Covid, some have had to self-isolate and some were not comfortable entering the branch. Our policy to increase the number of volunteers enabled us to help more telephone callers and continue to cover our listening shifts. 

Our face-to-face caller facility was suspended at the start of the Covid pandemic and contact between volunteers in the branch has been limited. We also outsourced our cleaning for a period during 2020 with the intention of keeping our volunteers safe. 

We have missed getting together at branch meetings and social events, for example our 2020 Christmas meal had to be cancelled, but we have used Zoom to hold events, especially quizzes, where we could. We also held regular raffles and sold a recipe book as ways of keeping volunteers together during this period of relative isolation. 

2021 is the 50th Anniversary of the founding of this branch of the Samaritans and events were held during the year to commemorate this event. Many volunteers took part in personal 50 for 50 event challenges. 

We look forward to continuing our return to meetings taking place and more volunteers returning to normal duties. Our 2021 Christmas meal is booked for December and hopefully will prove to be enjoyed by all. We look forward to a new director being appointed who will be able to grow the branch and retain the friendliness for which we are noted. 

## **Recruitment and Training** 

At the time of writing there are 132 people who want to join our branch and are awaiting an interview. It’s great that so many people want to be part of our organization and we wish we could have interviewed and trained them all during the year. 

We embraced Zoom technology and new training materials provided by the Learning and Development team in Samaritans Central Office to undertake a programme of Core Development and Embedding training to ensure the Branch would have a steady supply of new volunteers. Four groups will go through training this year, an increase on previous years. Samaritans Central Office requested that branches increase the numbers of new volunteers to keep pace with the increasing numbers of callers. This Branch is proud to say that we responded. 

Samaritans Central Office provided a range of online training courses to expand volunteers’ knowledge and better support callers, including Self Harm, Mental Health, How We Best Support Our Callers; Making Prison Calls Better. Our volunteers met that challenge and diligently worked through this training. Durham Branch also joined the pilot for new Safeguarding training materials; we completed the digital training and provided detailed feedback. 



We ran a course to train new leaders but we also included many experienced leaders who offered peer support. Together we refreshed ourselves on safeguarding from a leader standpoint. 

Durham Branch also contributed to the Paired Mentor pilot. To increase the number of new volunteers coming in to the branch we tried out a paired mentor scheme whereby one Mentor supported two mentees. We are seeing the results of that trial now with that group moving from Observer status to Probationer status. 

## **Prisons** 

After the pandemic year we are returning to normal in ‘our’ two prisons. During 2020 we supported our Listeners with conference calls but in May 2021 we were allowed back into both Low Newton and Durham to resume face to face support meetings. However, the number of Listeners at each prison had reduced to only two Listeners which was just enough not to cover the needs of the prisons. 

At Low Newton new listeners were quickly cleared and trained. We now have four new listeners there and it has been great to see how well they’ve quickly taken to the role and receive positive feedback about the work they’ve done. Following the same process at Durham we now have fourteen listeners there. 

2021 is the Listeners 30th Anniversary and Samaritans have a video to promote the scheme. There are five people on the video and we are really happy to say that two of them are a volunteer from this branch and a former Listener who we trained and supported. 

## **Fundraising and Events** 

The Covid pandemic caused the cancellation of our normal programme of fundraising events and street collections in 2020. Despite restrictions many volunteers took part in the Samarathon, which allowed them to seek sponsorship for individual challenges both indoors and outside. This branch raised over £6000 through Samarathon. 

We formed a bid writing team of volunteers to make use of their experience and abilities. Two successes were achieved almost at once with grants totalling £6000 being received from the County Durham Community Fund and the City of Durham Parish Council. These funds financed the repair and redecoration work undertaken within the building, to purchase new IT and items of furniture and equipment to support our volunteers. 

Our increased costs and reduced income during 2020/21 were covered by support grants through Durham County Council totalling almost £17000. 

We are very grateful for support from the Shakespeare Temperance Trust, the W A Handley Charity Trust and from our many donors and supporters during the year. 

External events recommenced on 2 August 2021 with our annual Golf Day at Durham City Golf Club. Apart from the £3700 this event raised, this was an opportunity for volunteers to meet together for the first time and raises the awareness of Samaritans among a wider group of people. 

Our collections resumed at the Sarah Millican show at the Gala Theatre on 3 September 2021, when £620 was collected. 

We are now getting back out into the community and had a productive day at Durham Railway station promoting Samaritans on World Suicide Prevention Day 10 September 

Four branches in the Northeast shared the cost of a campaign to display awareness posters on buses.in Northumberland, Tyne and Wear and County Durham during summer 2021. 

**Building, Health and Safety** 



Despite restrictions due to the Covid pandemic all our building compliance checks were completed in 2020/21 and 2021/22 - PAT testing, new smoke detectors installed across the whole branch and test undertaken, emergency light repairs, fire equipment servicing, stairlift inspection and service, boiler service. 

In June 2020 the non-compliant access ramp at the rear of the building was removed and the rear gate was replaced. In September the damaged yard wall was lowered and repointed as this wall had been reported as being unsafe. 

A full uplift programme was completed on the first floor with the landing, operations room, kitchen and toilet being redecorated. The sagging floorboards in the landing, kitchen and toilet were repaired and the floor coverings were replaced. 

In April and May 2021 we repaired and redecorated lintels and the timbers around the oriel window on the front external elevation and fitted a new front door handle and letterbox to go with the new digilock fitted the previous summer. The double-glazed kitchen window was also replaced. 

In August 2021 the half landing, stairs, hall and basement were redecorated. This work completed a full cycle of internal repair and redecoration in the branch since 2018/19. 

Our building condition survey risk assessments will now be reviewed and updated and these will provide the basis of a future programme of work in our branch building. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Financially 2020/21 was a successful year with the branch ending in a positive situation. The Charity has to maintain a constant fundraising effort over the year to cover the running costs of its premises and relies on generosity of organisations, groups and individuals. 

On the expenditure side the most obvious change was to increase spend on improving the decoration of the branch building. Our payment to the national organisation also increased because this was based on our increased reserves at the end of 2019/20. Other costs have generally reduced through our economy and the effects of the Covid pandemic. 

In contrast, income was considerably affected by the Covid pandemic. Activities organised by the Fundraising Team and the Samarathon maintained the flow of funds close to the level of the previous year. Two successful bids submitted by the Bid Writing team were used to support significant improvements in the branch, and our increased costs and reduced income were more than offset by Covid 19 support grants from the County Council. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

The Charity’s Reserve Policy was agreed on 8 September 2020. The Trustees consider it is appropriate to hold reserves of £33000. This can be quantified as £25000 representing eighteen months of basic expenditure plus £8000 contingency held for unbudgeted building, decorating and furniture expenditure. 

The Charity cash in the bank at the end of the 2020/21 Financial Year was £70623. 

Action is being taken to reduce our reserves through a programme of building repairs and decoration; and investment in equipment that will improve the working environment for our volunteers and which will provide improved service to callers and visitors. It is obvious that the reduction in the size of the Charity’s assets may well take some time to achieve.
