TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes for the year 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024.

Objectives and activities

a. Policies and objectives

The object of 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.

Our primary purpose is to provide support to women and girls, acknowledging the disproportionate impact of sexual violence on women and girls and that it is almost always perpetrated by men, even when the victimsurvivor is also male. However, our intersectionally feminist and empowering approach enables survivors of all genders to improve their wellbeing and live fulfilling lives. The aim is to deliver a wide range of support to meet individual need and choice. Support is provided to family members, partners and friends of survivors of sexual violence. We deliver holistic support to meet individual needs and the charity’s objects.

We take into account the many different ways each survivor experiences sexual violence and discrimination and are committed to anti-racism. This includes additional oppressions based on an individual’s sex, gender identity, age, marital status, disability, race, colour, ethnic or national origin or sexual orientation.

SAASSBMK is a woman-led charity and is committed to promoting female leadership both in the 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 facilitate access to women-only support and referral pathways where required.

SAASSBMK is aiming to raise awareness of consent and change the perceptions of sexual violence within our local area to bring an end to sexual assault and abuse. To achieve this, the charity participates in different partnerships and events and offers training and talks.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Objectives and activities (continued)

b. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

SAASSBMK has provided the following services for the public benefit in relation to these objects during the financial year 2023/24. 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 1,233 individuals: 1,127 adults and 106 children and young people. 85% of the people we supported were female, 13% were male and 2% were transgender or non-binary.

The majority of our service users (69%) reside in Milton Keynes, 15% reside in Aylesbury Vale, 8% in High Wycombe, 3% in the Chilterns area and 3% in South Bucks. We also supported 2% of our service users outside of our area through our Thames Valley wide services. Most service users (68%) were referred by a third-party (either a professional or family or friend) and 32% referred themselves.

Please note that many of our service users report multiple experiences of sexual assault and abuse throughout their lifetime.

2% of our service users were supporters of survivors, including partners, family and friends.

Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG)

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.

We delivered 380 IAG sessions during the year with 376 unique service users. One service user said:

“I just wanted to thank you for your time and to say how very good you are at your job. You are the first person I have spoken to who didn’t speak to me as though from their lofty position of superiority they could use their special skills to tell me why I am useless; instead, you talked about how I can manage the situation I am in to keep myself safe. And when you described my husband’s behaviour as coercive it made me feel less like it was my fault. I got the best night’s I have had in a long time.”

Clinical Assessments

Before commencing therapy for a survivor of sexual assault and abuse, a clinical assessment is essential to understand their psychological, emotional, and physical state. This assessment typically includes exploring the individual’s trauma history, current mental health symptoms, coping mechanisms, and social support systems. The goal is to tailor the therapeutic approach to their unique needs and ensure that the therapy proceeds in a safe, compassionate, and effective manner. Clinical assessments are delivered by qualified counsellors.

We delivered 488 assessments during the year with 484 unique service users. One service user said:

“Thank you for having me today, for all your support, your kind words, it meant the world to me. I will try practicing what you taught me, hopefully I will let myself to feel joy again.”

Objectives and activities (continued)

Telephone Support

191 unique individuals were supported through telephone support in the year. As there is a waiting list for faceto-face counselling, every survivor contacting us is offered telephone support until they are allocated a counsellor.

This year a total of 584 instances of telephone emotional support were delivered, an increase of 117% from the previous year. This service is delivered by 14 specially trained volunteers.

One service user said:

“Just to say a massive thank you for your support over 2023, and for helping me reason out some big decisions and events. I recently signed up for a volunteer app called Be My Eyes to take video calls from blind people all around the world and help them with choices such as earrings matching a dress, or whether their cats are OK. I was inspired by you to sign up for it - even my husband has signed up to it now. I really appreciate you being there, and it was lovely getting to know you.“

Stabilisation Intervention Programme (SIP)

Our SIP programme is our psychoeducation programme that helps survivors to understand how trauma affects the brain and how to emotionally regulate, as well as understanding healthy relationships, learning coping and grounding skills and self-care.

Over the past year, SAASSBMK supported 86 individuals across 403 sessions of SIP. This service is delivered by qualified counsellors. One service user said:

“The service should be more accessible as it’s got the ability to heal a lot of sexual assault survivors. There are things within this healing framework that are spot on. I think the way the information is provided is the most helpful I’ve ever received.”

Adult Counselling (One-to-one)

We deliver up to 24 sessions of one-to-one person-centred and trauma-informed talking therapy, either face to face, online or via telephone. This was delivered by 68 specially trained volunteer and qualified sessional counsellors.

This year, we delivered 4,720 sessions of counselling to 386 unique adult service users, an increase of 16% from the previous year. This represents a financial value of approximately £236,000.00. One service user said;

"The Counsellor I had was so lovely, she was the perfect match for me in every way. I was definitely affected with some parts of my life in not a good way. I now believe in myself a lot more. I deserve to be happy too. I think part of me didn’t believe that at first. I would also put everyone else first. I've realised that I’m also important too and I need to put me first sometimes.”

In November 2023, we launched a new project in partnership with MK-ACT Women’s Aid to deliver one-to-one counsellor to survivors of domestic abuse who have received MK-ACT’s Crisis Intervention Services. Between November 2023 and March 2024, we supported 23 unique service users.

Children and Young People Counselling (One-to-one)

The Support After Abuse and Sexual Harm (SASH) project is a partnership project with SAFE! Together, we provide children, young people and families affected by sexual and domestic abuse in Buckinghamshire. As part of the partnership, SAASSBMK delivers up to 24 sessions of one-to-one person-centred and trauma-informed talking therapy face to face or online. As well as delivering this support from our premise in Aylesbury, we also

SEXUAL ASSAULT AND ABUSE SUPPORT SERVICE BUCKINGHAMSHIRE AND MILTON KEYNES

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Objectives and activities (continued)

deliver this support in schools and community spaces most appropriate for the young person.

During this year, SAASSBMK provided 348 counselling sessions to 56 children and young people. This support is delivered by qualified counsellors. One service user said:

“I used to think that I needed to do whatever boys told me and that I didn’t have any say in it. I now understand that it is up to me what I want to do and whether I do it.”

Peer Support Group (Thrive – women only)

Thrive offers female survivors of sexual assault and abuse a friendly, trauma-sensitive weekly peer drop-in group space. This provides women with the opportunity to meet other survivors and offer a community-based approach to help them move forward. This group is facilitated by a qualified counsellor and activities include arts and crafts as well as external trips to fetes and animal assisted learning and therapy.

Throughout the year, we delivered 96 sessions to 40 unique service users. One service user said;

“Thrive has given me a sense of community and the opportunity to explore parts of me that I didn’t have the confidence to look at before. I feel supported and understood by the group and that has helped me to find my voice and be heard and accepted. By having a safe and nonjudgemental space where I didn’t feel fear has been empowering.”

Group Therapy (men only)

We offer online group therapy for male survivors across the Thames Valley region (Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Oxfordshire). These groups provide a safe space where men can openly address their trauma without judgment. By participating in group sessions, men can explore complex emotions and feelings, enabling a sense of validation and empowerment.

The group is facilitated by two qualified counsellors. We delivered 6 sessions of group therapy to 4 unique service users. One service user said;

“It was the first time I have openly chatted with other men that had been through similar experiences. I found it comforting to know that someone else understands my emotions and what I went through.”

Independent Domestic and Sexual Violence Advisory (IDSVA)

Our IDSVA service provides both emotional and practical support to survivors of rape, sexual assault and domestic abuse who have reported or are considering reporting their experiences to the police.

Over the past year, we have delivered 312 sessions of IDSVA support to 72 unique service users. IDSVA support is delivered by qualified IDVA and ISVAs. One service user said;

"After experiencing years of a failing system and very complex police investigation, I was struggling to find light at the end of a very long tunnel until I was introduced to (worker) and she was just fabulous her compassion, knowledge and support has been invaluable in order to help me build & repair."

Advocacy

SAASSBMK has provided 67 sessions general advocacy support around housing, financial, health, immigration and employment to 35 unique service users. Advocacy support is delivered by specially trained members of staff. One service user said;

"When you are at your lowest there is nothing more important than being in safe hands and that’s exactly how I felt "

Achievements and performance

a. Main achievements of the Charity

Standards and Governance

SAASSBMK is a full member of the;

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

We onboarded a new CEO, who successfully delivered an organisational restructure where we heard from service users, staff and volunteers. This resulted in the recruitment of 2 new management roles to strengthen our service provision. Initiatives were delivered to embed the new structure, including a focus and development on staff and volunteer wellbeing support offers.

An external finance consultant delivered an end-to-end financial review of SAASSBMK’s financial policies and procedures, providing recommendations which have been implemented. A subsequent governance review commenced in March 2024 with aims to review and ensure the governance of SAASSBMK is fit for purpose. This will conclude in financial year 24-25.

Service Growth

In the past year, we have supported 13% more individuals than the previous year. We were supported to respond to this increase in demand for our services by the recruitment of 7 new members of staff and 36 new volunteers.

To support these new recruits, we delivered our robust specialist, internal training programme around sexual assault, domestic abuse, safeguarding, suicide prevention and equality, diversity and inclusion. We also provided additional training to those with specialist roles (for example, working with children and young people). One trainee said;

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the SAASSBMK training. It has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges individuals face after, directly or indirectly, experiencing domestic violence and sexual abuse. It has also been extremely informative and having different trainers has also added to the variety and delivery of the training. Every trainer was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and you could really see their passion shining through as they spoke on their topics.”

In February 2024, we launched the SAM Project following consultation with male service users. The SAM Project provides a specialist “front door” to SAASSBMK services which are specifically tailored to male survivors of

sexual and domestic abuse. The aim of this project is to remove the barriers for men who need support.

Community and Partnerships

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

In the past year, we have supported the following strategic partnership boards:

We also held regular appearances in the media to highlight issues related to sexual assault and abuse. This included coverage on radio and print on issues such as women’s safety, misogyny and issues impacting survivors of sexual violence. Thank you to Greatest Hits Radio Bucks, Beds and Herts, Red Kite Radio, MK Citizen and the Bucks Herald for your support.

Awards and Recognition

In November 2023, we were awarded a second High Sheriffs Award for the provision of community services in Buckinghamshire. We were also informed that we had been selected by His Majesty The King, King Charles III, to be awarded with The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS) which is an equivalent to an MBE for voluntary groups, which we are incredibly proud of. We are due to receive the award crystal at a prestigious ceremony in May 2024.

In March 2024, our partnership project SASH which supports children and young people was shortlisted for a Thames Valley Criminal Justice Award.

These awards demonstrate our continued commitment to providing high quality services to survivors of sexual violence, our dedication to developing volunteer talent in our community and our openness to innovative partnership projects to collaboratively respond to the needs of survivors and our community.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

Reserves are part of a charity’s unrestricted funds that is freely available to spend on any of the charity’s purposes. SAASSBMK maintains free unrestricted reserves:

At least once a year, The Board of Trustees will review the above criteria with reference to SAASSBMK strategy and annual plan and determine the target level of free reserves to meet these. This target will be reviewed midyear, with solvency sheets being presented to the Board every quarter.

The Board of Trustees will at times designate funds from free reserves for significant project costs or replacement of major assets.

The use of unrestricted reserves during a particular year should be agreed by the trustees at the time the budget for the year is authorised. Any additional expenditure from unrestricted reserves during the year should be formally agreed by the trustees.

The Board of Trustees are responsible for ensuring the charity maintains sufficient levels of reserves and also does not hold too much in unrestricted reserves. If the unrestricted reserves are determined to be too high, plans should be put in place to utilise those reserves.

c. Financial review

The charity has maintained its existing public funding sources while successfully bidding for funding from additional public bodies, with a total income of £721,183, a increase of 1.7% from the previous year. The charity has also participated in fundraising activity including a Big Give match fund campaign, International Women’s Day Fest, launching a new range of feminist merchandise, sales of products made by our peer support group at the Rape Crisis England and Wales annual conference as well as donations from corporate and business sponsors including LUSH and Girl Pack. 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.

Structure, governance and management

a. Constitution

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes is a registered charity, number 1175021, and is constituted under a Trust deed.

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 eight 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 holds their National Service Standards), the Male Survivors Partnership and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees

The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Trust deed.

Plans for future periods

A new business strategy was developed and launched in April 2024 for the period between April 2024 and March 2027. This strategy can be viewed on our website and the strategic priorities include:

In March of each year, an annual business plan will be agreed by the Board of Trustees to confirm the CEO’s and wider organisation’s objectives for the next year, drawing from the overall 2024-2027 Business Strategy. This will provide all staff and volunteers with clarity over areas of focus, whilst maintaining flexibility to respond to ever changing circumstances and survivor needs.

The trustees for SAASSBMK would like to thank the organisations that have given their support throughout the year. We would like to thank all the supporters on Vale Lottery, Easyfundraising.org.uk and to all those who fundraised for enabling the charity to continue to support those affected by sexual assault and abuse.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes ('the Charity')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the Trustees of the Charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the Charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the accounts 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 (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for the accounts to provide a true and fair view in accordance with the Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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 accounts to be reached.

This report is made solely to the Charity's Trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.

1. General information

The Charity is a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is C/o MHA, Building A, 150 - 170 Midsummer Boulevard, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK9 1FD.

Figures in the financial statements and the notes have been rounded to the nearest whole number in GBP.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Sexual Assault and Abuse Support Service Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.3 Expenditure (continued)

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.4 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets costing £NIL or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably.

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, .

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Office equipment - 20% straight line Computer equipment - 33% straight line

2.5 Debtors

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

2.6 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.7 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.9 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.
