## **IPSUM Programmes** 

We are very fortunate that our trained facilitators and therapists are supported by volunteers with a diverse range of skills and talents. 

A rewarding part of our programme is to empower our service users and support them towards becoming peer mentor volunteers if they want to. This has been a successful intervention, building self-esteem and employment skills and for many of our clients who have since moved on to secure paid work. 

## **New View Art Room** 

Daily workshops provide the opportunity for clients to try new ideas, experiment with different art mediums and try activities such as watercolour painting, acrylics, drawing, textiles, crafts, printmaking and more. 

The Therapeutic Creative Arts are a powerful tool that can help to relieve anxiety ,stress and tension. It can increase motivation and self-worth giving new outlets as a distraction technique and safe coping mechanisms.

Income generation is IPSUM's major focus to sustain its work/service offerings. IPSUM must be able to generate sufficient income to cover costs by generating enough funds to cover staff & non-staff overheads and key activities. 

Our income is generated from numerous sources, including trusts in the form of grants, public fundraising, commissioning for contracts. We have various approaches to generating income from as many different sources, these are supported by marketing activities i.e. Facebook, fundraisers, promotional radio interviews etc. aimed at connecting to supporters, donors, and funders. 

IPSUM establishes a comprehensive business plan for each application that outlines the key future objectives and activities and overall strategy of the Charity, and identifies the actions needed to achieve and fulfil them, as well as the resources (particularly people) and facilities required. 

IPSUM continually demonstrates tightly managed cost control processes, 

Cash-flow is well-thought through and regularly monitored, the financial plan is assessed and reviewed at bi-monthly Trustee meetings. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity expects to hold sufficient reserves to cover all expenses incurred to fulfil the exit strategy; this will normally not be less than three months or more than six months operational costs. The charity may hold in reserve any monies which are restricted for the "life" of specific projects running outside the financial year. Additionally, the charity may "ring fence" non-restricted funds as reserves for specific project costs. 

At 31 March 2022 the charity had total funds of £493,946. Of these funds, £134,513 are held as restricted and £224,110 have been designated for the following purposes: 

£122,031 - Functional Fixed Assets £102,079 - 6 month exit costs 

The reserves held in excess of the required amount are £135,323 (being total funds less restricted and designated funds). The £135,000 is being held in reserve for matched funding projects through 2023/24, the monies will be released in line with the received funding streams.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Organisational structure** 

IPSUM is managed by the Executive Committee on which the Trustees serve and is responsible for the legal and financial management of the organisation. The Executive Committee meets 8 times a year and makes strategic decisions regarding the long-term development of the organisation. The Executive Committee is comprised of members from a wide and varied background. Key members of the volunteer group, service users and staff team are also invited to attend meetings as appropriate. 

The charity makes decisions at the bi-monthly Executive Committee meetings. All Executive Committee meetings have an Agenda and items to be discussed are included and sent out in advance of the meetings, as are the minutes of the meeting and financial papers. All decisions are reached through discussion and consensus with the view of the representatives being considered. If no consensus is reached a vote would be taken, and in the case of a split decision the Chairperson would have the casting vote. 

The trustees delegate day-to-day management to the Director, Julie Mattinson. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

New trustees go through an induction process to explain their responsibilities, the work of IPSUM, and to introduce them to key personnel within the organisation. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

The board of trustees review the pay of the chief Executive on an annual basis. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

IPSUM's Board of Trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by our charity in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks. Risk is an everyday part of our charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential for the trustees to achieve their key objectives and safeguard their charity's funds and assets. 

IPSUM's approach for Operational risk is covered off across four stages which involve the preparing of a risk assessment, this could be for a project, organisation or set of operating processes. 

These are: 

- risk identification: identifying the main risks - risk assessment: assessing the likelihood of each risk occurring and the consequences for the charity/organisation 

- risk mitigation: identifying the most appropriate actions to reduce or eliminate the risk 

- contingency assessment: identifying the contingencies that need to be put in place following the risk assessment. 

Risk management is an ongoing process and has been fully integrated into our project management and review processes.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of IPSUM** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of IPSUM** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of IPSUM (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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

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

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of FCA DChA which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust as required by section 130 of the 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.
