## **East Sussex Recovery Alliance Trustees' Responsibilities**
The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees, who are also directors of East Sussex Recovery Alliance for the purposes of company law and who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _Governing document_
East Sussex Recovery Alliance is a company limited by guarantee and governed by its memorandum and articles of association. It is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.
## _Appointment of trustees_
Trustees are appointed by the members of the charitable company in conjunction with the oversight.
## _Trustee induction and training_
New trustees are given the Memorandum and Articles of Association and a copy of the ‘Good Governance Code for the Voluntary and Community Sector’, together with outlining the organisation and work of the charity.
## **Executive Summary**
This year has tested our resilience. With the outbreak of the Covid-19 in early 2020 this presented unprecedented challenges.
With the UK going into lockdown in March 2020 this hugely impacted our ability to provide our service face to face. We were closed from March until June and moved our services online during this period.
Lockdown compounded the situation for many of our service users and being able to access it online proved to be a lifeline to many of our clients.
We received the following feedback:
“Excellent group today and excellent motivated speech between the whole group. Its working a treat to help clients stay motivated. Me and Dani make a great team and fire off each other.” Mark
“You people at ESRA save lives” feedback from a person attending remote zoom meeting.
“I’m so grateful for everything ESRA does” Feedback from Hastings New Client.
“ESRA has been there for me all the way through this difficult year” From Sam [Hastings] Please pass my gratitude and thanks to Ali.
It is testament to the strength of staff, volunteers, and management team that we have responded effectively and will continue to navigate our way through these uncertain times.
One of the most challenging issues we face is funding, whilst this remains an ongoing issue, I am delighted to report that the team have done a huge amount of work to secure £384,675.61 of funding for the year which we so desperately need to continue to support the local community.
We were delighted to be awarded a grant from Lloyds who are invested in helping ESRA move forward and are a development partner. Lloyds have provided expert advice as well as additional resource. This included support to develop our strategy, completing funding applications and board development.
The furlough scheme helped us to continue to retain staff during this difficult and uncertain times.
Our relationship with CGL to provide the service and café at Café North in Eastbourne continues to flourish and we are working well with them to provide our service for those clients in Eastbourne.
We implemented Charity Log a new system to help us record, collate, and report on our clients using the service. This will assist us to provide key data for CGL, manage our service and to support our funding applications.
Given our lack of expertise in HR we formed a partnership with Croner in August 2020 to provide HR services which has proved extremely useful. This is ongoing relationship, and they remain key to our growth. Lastly and most importantly I would like to thank all the volunteers, staff and trustees for all their hard work and commitment to serving our service users during this difficult year.

## **East Sussex Recovery Alliance Trustees' Responsibilities**
## **Objectives and activities**
Our charity’s purposes as set out in the objects contained in the company’s constitution and are:
To promote and protect the physical and mental health of people in recovery or actively seeking recovery from drug and/or alcohol misuse and their families/careers in particular not exclusively but the provision of counselling, peer led groups, support and activities.
The aims of our charity are to provide a safe space for people in early recovery to build the necessary recovery capital to help them integrate back into the community.
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help.
The review also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
## _The focus of our work_
Our main objectives for the year continued to be the promotion and prevention of the misuse of drugs and the rehabilitation of those drug users.
The strategies we used to meet these objectives included:
- Providing a range of services which are reflective of relevant quality standards and address the potential problems of our service users
- Focussing upon limiting the harm which comes with drug abuse, not only for the individual but also their family and friends and the wider community of
- Working in partnership with other agencies to secure the widest range of services is available that best matches the needs of its client population.
## **Financial review**
## _Reserves_
The trustees and leadership team do not have a policy of holding surplus assets in the form of long-term investments, nor do they have any policies relating to a specific level of income reserves to be held (other than three months contingency cover), preferring instead to be in a position where they can respond in a responsible manner to any need as it arises.
## **Future plans**
Our main plans for the year ahead continue to be providing a safe space for our service users to flourish. We will also build resilience into ESRA so that we can maintain the service.
In order to meet these objectives, we intend to focus on the following:
- Providing a range of services which are reflective of relevant quality standards and address the potential needs of our service users.
- Focus on limiting the harm which comes with the misuse of drugs and alcohol, not only for the individual but also their family and friends and the wider community.
Page 3
**East Sussex Recovery Alliance Trustees' Responsibilities**
- We will continue to work in partnership with other agencies to secure the widest range of services is available that best matches the needs of our service users.
- We will continue to strengthen the board adding more trustees, looking for skills to complement the existing team.
-
- We will continue to recruit volunteers to support our work and help to develop their skills.
- We will value our people and support them in doing their jobs well. We will look to provide the necessary training and education required.
- We will seek regular feedback and input from all staff and volunteers and involve them during this period of wide-ranging change.
- We will ensure financial stability and long-term viability by focus on securing the appropriate funding for our future.
## **Responsibilities of the Management Committee**
The trustees (who are also the directors of East Sussex Recovery Alliance for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the accounts and financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the trustees of the Charity on ................................................ and signed on its behalf by:
......................................... **Anton Gayton** (Chair) Trustee

**East Sussex Recovery Alliance Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of East Sussex Recovery Alliance**
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 7 to 16.
Your attention is to drawn to the fact that the Charity has prepared the Financial Statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by 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 since 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.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

13/12/2021 ................................. and signed on their behalf by:
......................................... **Anton Gayton** (Chair) Trustee
Page 8
**East Sussex Recovery Alliance Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates**
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
## **Statement of compliance**
The financial statements have been prepared 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis of preparation**
East Sussex Recovery Alliance 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 notes.
## **Going concern**
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.
## **Transition to FRS 102**
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 a restatement of comparative items was required. No restatements are required as a result of the transition to FRS 102.
## **Income and endowments**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably
## **Grants receivable**
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Government grants are recognised under the performance model. The grant income is recognised upon performance conditions being satisfied (and should it be received in advance of satisfying the performance, recognition of the income is deferred as a liability) and where there are no specific future performance-related conditions then grants are recognised when proceeds are received or receivable. Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) The CJRS grant relates to government support for staff who have been furloughed due to Covid19 The Trust was able to claim 80% of a furloughed employee's wages and salaries up to a maximum of £2,500 per month plus associated employer's costs.
## _**Investment income**_
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings
Page 9
**East Sussex Recovery Alliance Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
that aggregate all costs related to the category.
## _**Raising funds**_
Costs of generating funds are the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
## _**Charitable activities**_
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
## _**Grant expenditure**_
Grants payable are payments made to third parties in the furtherance of the charitable objectives. Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specific service or output.
Grants payable without performance conditions are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to the grant which remain in the control of the charity.
## _**Grant provisions**_
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable.
## **Governance costs**
Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.
## **Taxation**
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
## **Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **Fund structure**
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustee's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity.
Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations**
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
