Funding

The work that we have done would not have been possible without the funding that we received from:

Ministry of Justice, the long term funding awarded has been instrumental in continuing our work.

Public Health West Berkshire provided us with £8,000 funding to provide counselling and support.

We also won a contract to deliver counselling services to all victims accessing SARC in the Thames Valley Area including women, men and children. This is a 3 year project and started on 1[st] October 2017. This has been extended till March 2025.

We have also won a contract for PCC to provide support services to victims of Crimes in Thames Valley area as a part of the consortium and spearhead the Berkshire work.

During the year, we benefited from £631,367 in donations and grants.

We would like to thank all our supporters who provided their support and fundraised for us through the year. The whole THR team is grateful for your support.

CEO's Report

2023-24 has been an incredible year for Trust House. We provided almost 9000 (8984) support sessions to 1128 individuals through a range of support services. What shown through, is the hard work, dedication and commitment of all the volunteers and staff at Trust House. Also, we launched a website this year, implemented a new software system to manage our helpline calls and built strong relationship with our Criminal Justice System partners

ISVA Service: Our ISVA service provides a varied range of support to its clients from working with the Criminal Justice system to benefits and housing. During the reporting period our ISVA supported 107 clients, provided 749 support sessions.

CHISVA Service: Our ChISVA service support children, young people and their families. It supported 45 children and young people during the period and provided 268 sessions to clients during the reporting period.

Children and Young People Services

Trust House supports children and young people (aged 3 to 21 years) who have been affected by rape,

sexual abuse and child sexual exploitation across Berkshire. Referrals for the service come from a wide range of professionals including: social workers, police, GPs, schools, pupil referral units, NHS, DASH and BWA. It supported 318 children and young people and provided 2966 support sessions to children and young people during the reporting period.

Young Person Counselling

We have bespoke counselling facilities for young people - a comfortable and safe place to talk on a comfy bean bag or chair and/or a place to express themselves through the arts; painting, clay, sand tray and role play and make sense of their lives at their own pace

TRUST HOUSE READING

TRUSTEE'S REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Play Therapy

Younger children really benefit from Play Therapy where they can explore their experiences and relationships through play and the therapeutic relationship. The therapist follows the child's lead and plays in any way that the child chooses and makes reflections on the play to help the child to explore their feelings in their natural medium, play.

Younger children are generally unable to talk about their problems in the same way that adults and adolescents do. They often lack the necessary emotional vocabulary to do so. Additionally, they often find it hard to interpret events and make sense of their previous experiences. Children's play tends to reflect their experiences and they use play to explore their feelings.

Within the Berkshire area there are no other voluntary or free of charge services providing play therapy to children who have been sexually harmed. The CAMHs service does not offer this and the only other providers are within the private sector.

Counselling Service

We provide a specialist counselling service to people affected by rape and sexual abuse. Clients can refer themselves to the counselling service by email, directly by phone, using the online form on our website or via a third party. Clients go onto our waiting list and are then matched with a counsellor who can best meet their needs. They are booked an initial meeting with their counsellor to assess their needs before the counselling sessions start. We have counsellors with a wide range of skills, including those able to work with clients from diverse ethnic backgrounds, learning disabilities and complex mental health needs.

We offer short, medium and longer-term therapy. This is advantageous for people who might benefit from short-term work, as well as clients who might need longer-term work, especially if there is an ongoing court case.

Extensions to therapeutic work are to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

Counsellors are supervised by Ian Gowland, Clinical Lead THR on a fortnightly basis, both individually and in a group format, complying with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy requirements. This model has proved highly effective giving counsellors experience of both types of clinical supervision, including input from their peers and hearing about others' experiences. In this type of work, issues that need to be discussed in supervision can arise very quickly, and by seeing counsellors so frequently, they are not left holding the clients' issues too long before they are able to bring their concerns to the supervisor. During the reporting period we supported 555 clients and provided 4,727 counselling sessions.

A thankyou to our funders especially Ministry of Justice, is also important as the funding has enabled us to continue to provide the important support.

The best testaments to our work is through the feedback that we received from our clients. Few are listed below and reminds us every day why we do this work:

Feedback:

“Trust House have been amazing in supporting me. Even during the waiting time for my first session someone checked in on me.”

“Excellent- the process of initial contact was easy, there was appropriate info provided prior and all information I needed was given before the first 1;1 session.”

“Again very thorough, I didn't feel rushed or pressured for detail. I was put at ease and felt much less concerned about everything. Lots of information, very chatty, friendly and welcoming. Felt I was in safe hands.”

“I feel that the counselling sessions offered by Trust House have been expertly tailored to my specific needs, and I could not speak more highly of my counsellor Susie, who has been absolutely amazing. I feel like she has listened to me from the start and has single-handedly helped me to gain a better grasp of myself as a person, with the aim of getting my life back on track so that I can look forward to a more positive future and thus flourish both professionally and emotionally.”

“I understand how the trauma has affected my life. I have the tools to deal with the difficult days and feel I also understand myself more and are in control.”

“Amazing support, my counsellor took the time to listen to my concerns and worries and has supported me in finding different ways to cope with the stress and anxiety that I may face. I feel like a different person than when i first started my counselling. I feel as of I have made some good progress and I hope I can take in board everything I have learnt to keep me being strong.”

“Amazing. The services' attitudes to male victims is fantastic. Thank you Ian, you've been great!!”

We currently have 66 volunteers/Counsellors at Trust House

A breakdown of the type of abuse experienced by our service users is given below. Rape is the biggest category with 447 (31%) reported cases amongst our service users.

Financial review

It is the intention of the Committee that the freely available reserves of the organisation should be accumulated up to a level sufficient to ensure the continuance of its activities, should there be un unexpected short-term adverse fluctuation in income. These freely available reserves are unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (i.e. "free reserves"). A sufficient level of free reserves would guarantee the continuation of Trust House Reading's activities, while decisions and actions were taken to find other sources of income or reduce the level of a particular activity. The Committee consider that an appropriate level of free reserves is approximately 6 months' normal expenditure, which equates to approximately £345,000.

Major risks

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.

Structure, governance and management

Trust House Reading is governed by a constitution adopted on 26th September 2013. THR was registered with the Charity commission on the 2[nd] of October 2017.

The Trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: The Survivors Trust Mr D Carmody

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Trust House Reading is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 54 London Street, Reading, RG1 4SQ.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 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, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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 or grantors 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.

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.

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets 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 bases:

Fixtures and fittings 25% straight line Computers 33.3% 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.

1.6 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.

1.7 Financial instruments

The Charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Charity's balance sheet when the Charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

1.8 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.
