OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The object of "Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service, Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes" (SAASSBMK) is to relieve the trauma and suffering caused to individuals and their loved ones by sexual violence or domestic abuse in any of its forms.

SAASSBMK wants every individual who has been affected by sexual violence and domestic abuse to receive the support they need and wish. To meet the charity’s objects, it is delivering a range of services created to meet the needs of those affected by sexual violence or domestic abuse.

SAASSBMK aims to raise awareness of and change the perceptions of sexual violence and domestic abuse within our local area and to bring an end to sexual violence and domestic abuse. To achieve this, the charity participates in different partnerships and events, offers training and talks to appropriate businesses, schools etc.

SAASSBMK is a women-led charity and is committed to promoting female leadership both in CEO and trustee board positions. We employ staff and volunteers of all genders but reserve the right to make certain roles women-only under the Equality Act 2010 pursuant to Schedule 9, Part 1 to ensure women and girls can access women-only support and referral pathways. This is following our acknowledgement that sexual violence disproportionally impacts women and girls and is almost always perpetrated by men, even when the victim-survivor is also male.

MAIN ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT

SAASSBMK has provided the following services for the public benefit in relation to these objects during the financial year 2022/23. The trustees confirm they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when delivering these services. Over the year we supported a total of 1015 individuals: 888 females, 118 males and 9 transgender/non-binary individuals. 48% of our service users were adults who had experienced Childhood Sexual Abuse, 34% experienced rape and 18% of our service users reported multiple experiences of sexual violence and domestic abuse including harassment, coercive control, trafficking, exploitation and ritual abuse. A total of 26,276 contacts were made with our service users including 5,712 one to one sessions.

Information, Advice and Guidance – SAASSBMK provides information, advice and guidance to all service users, as an introduction to the charity so survivors are aware of the range of support available to them. These sessions are delivered by a specialist trained member of staff.

Email support – many service users choose to contact us via email, with 13,803 email contacts being made, a combination of one-off support and assessments and ongoing contact. Support and response are provided within three working days.

Independent Domestic and Sexual Violence Advisory (IDSVA) service – SAASSBMK supported 124 women and 19 men through the IDSVA service this year. The IDSVA service provides both emotional and practical support to survivors of rape, sexual abuse and assault and domestic violence who have reported to the police or are considering reporting to the police.

Advocacy service – SAASSBMK has provided general advocacy support around housing, financial, health, immigration and employment to 67 women and 15 men.

One-to-one counselling – 4,785 counselling sessions were provided to individuals by our dedicated volunteer and sessional counsellors. This represents a financial value of approximately £239,250.00. Demand for counselling continues to increase and we trained an additional 12 volunteer counsellors to help meet this demand.

Stabilisation Intervention Programme – SAASSBMK supported 153 individuals to understand how their body and mind have responded to trauma, to help identify and develop coping strategies to help stabilise survivors out of crisis.

Group support – SAASSBMK provided group support to 34 women through the Thrive2Gether service which is a peer support group, held on a weekly two-hour drop-in basis. SAASSBMK also provided support to 22 women and 4 males through Group Therapy around psychoeducation. The aim for these groups is to support survivors to cope and recover from the effects of sexual violence and domestic abuse but also to enable them to build on their own support network and empower them to build healthy relationships.

Telephone Support – 117 unique individuals were supported through telephone support in the year. As there is a waiting list for face-to-face counselling, every survivor contacting us is offered telephone support until they are allocated a counsellor. This year a total of 2615 instances of telephone emotional support were offered. To meet the escalating demand for this valuable service, we have successfully expanded our volunteer base by a further 10 specially trained volunteers, enabling us to provide vital assistance to more individuals in need.

SASH service – in partnership with SAFE! we provided therapeutic support to 39 children and young people between ages of 5 and 18, with the service as a whole supporting a further 92 children and young people and their families affected by domestic abuse and sexual harm across Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes.

Two individuals describe the support they’ve received as follows:

“I am so grateful to have been able to have accessed this specialist service. I was completely stuck and in a dark place, with no hope of ever being able to feel joy and look forward to life. But now I am beginning to experience joy again which has been amazing for all of my family and close friends to see. Yes l am coming across bumps but am learning these are temporary and l can control them. Forever grateful.”

“Words can't describe the way the service has helped. It's invaluable and indescribable in its magnitude and I couldn't be more grateful to have had access. I have no doubt that without the service I wouldn't be where I am today, both in my career and my personal life.”

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

SAASSBMK is a member of and holds the national service standards for:

Rape Crisis England and Wales

Male Survivors Partnership (Lime Culture accreditation)

The Survivors Trust

The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

The organisation has been successfully awarded with the above quality marks which secures quality of governance, management and service delivery.

In December 2022, we were also awarded the High Sheriffs Award for the provision of sexual violence support services in Buckinghamshire and we have also got through to the second round of the Kings Award for Voluntary Services, results of which are due in November 2023.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

To meet the increasing demand of services 22 new volunteers have been recruited during the financial year. The volunteers have received specialised training in sexual violence for 6 weeks to guarantee that they uphold the level of specialist support that SAASSBMK requires. SAASSBMK has in total 67 volunteers excluding trustees contributing their time during the year.

The majority have contributed within the counselling service, but volunteers have also contributed through delivering training for new volunteers, as trustees, providing telephone support and providing administrative support.

The charity has maintained its existing public funding sources while successfully bidding for funding from additional public bodies, with a total income of £709,466, an increase of 36% from the previous year. The charity has also participated in fundraising activity including a car raffle arranged by Milton Keynes Community Foundation, Easy Fundraising and the Vale Lottery. The charity’s principal sources of funding for the financial year have been received from central and local government as well as trusts and foundations.

Policy on reserves

The trustees of SAASSBMK have set guidelines of the charity to have reserves of at least three months running costs. The reason for doing this is in case of a source of funding is lost, unforeseen emergencies or for redundancy costs.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

With the previous CEO, Carol Older, stepping down in December 2022 we welcomed our new CEO, Beki Osborne, in March 2023. SAASSBMK intends to continue to scope and develop a range of holistic services for those affected by sexual abuse and aim to increase our ability to meet the increasing demand for our services.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes (SAASSBMK) was adopted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on the 6th October 2017 and amended on the 18th July 2018. Merger between Aylesbury Vale Rape Crisis an unincorporated association took place on 1st April 2018 and the organisation was named Aylesbury Vale and Milton Keynes Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service (AVMKSAASS). In September 2022, the charity renamed to Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes (SAASSBMK) to ensure that no survivor in Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes isn’t without access to the highest standard of support and formalises the charity’s previously informal approach to accept referrals from survivors across the county.

SAASSBMK currently has seven trustees that regularly meet every other month. When the organisation has need for new trustees, advertising is posted at appropriate places whereby interviews are held with the applicants. Trustees are then appointed. A trustee will receive training and complete an induction programme when appointed.

SAASSBMK is a member of Rape Crisis England and Wales and meets their National Service Standards. As such, the organisation is women-led, and all services are equitable and provided from a feminist perspective and are delivered in a safe environment with dedicated premises in Aylesbury and Milton Keynes. SAASSBMK is also a member of The Survivors Trust and the Male Survivors Partnership.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The above report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime as set out in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102).

Income

Page 13

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes (formally Aylesbury Vale & Milton Keynes Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service) Notes to the Accounts

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Office Equipment 20% Straight Line Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other 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.

Page 14

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes (formally Aylesbury Vale & Milton Keynes Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service) Notes to the Accounts

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other 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.

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Page 15

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes (formally Aylesbury Vale & Milton Keynes Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service) Notes to the Accounts

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
