Structure, Governance and Management

Organisational Structure

In 2018 the members of CRCC resolved that it was in the interests of The Charity to change from an unincorporated association to a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO). On 10[th] September 2018 the organisation changed its legal status and successfully registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), with a new Charity Number 1179871.

The Charity Commission’s Foundation model constitution for CIO was approved to become the governing document of the charitable incorporated organisation. The CRCC constitution is as near to the form as the circumstances allow using clauses that are relevant and applicable to CRCC. It was unanimously agreed that those persons who were currently trustees of The Charity be appointed to become the first trustees of the charitable incorporated organisation.

Membership of the CIO

The members of the CIO shall be its charity trustees for the time being. The only persons eligible to be members of the CIO are its charity trustees. Membership of the CIO cannot be transferred to anyone else. Any member and charity trustee who ceases to be a charity trustee automatically ceases to be a member of the CIO.

Appointment of charity trustees

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a

2

Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2022 for Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre Charity No: 1179871

resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO.

No Ex-officio or Nominated Trustees are included in the cohort of first charity trustees. Should Exofficio or Nominated Trustees be appointed at a future date then appropriate rules for appointment and tenure will be established by the incumbent trustees based on published Charity Commission advice and guidelines.

The Trustee Board shall include the following executive positions: Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary and Treasurer. Other Trustees shall be elected to fill non-executive positions that are deemed necessary.

The management committee and the trustees are responsible for the running of the charity and the fulfilment of its objectives as well as safeguarding its assets.

They are also obliged to ensure that the charity adheres to Charity Commission guidelines and regulations as well as any other laws that apply and ensure independently examined accounts and annual returns are submitted to the Charity Commission each year.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM is held to ensure that all members of CRCC are fully informed about the development of the charity, the management of funds and the service we provide. It is also to ensure that all members have a role in the future governance and development of the charity through revisions to the constitution and election of management committee members and trustees. Any active members wishing to be involved in management or trustee roles are invited to approach the management committee at any time.

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. The Board of Trustees recognises that the main external risk to the organisation is loss or reduction in funding, particularly in this current unstable financial climate. The charity will manage this risk by diversifying its funding sources through any new commissioning opportunities. Internal financial controls, policy and procedures are in place to ensure compliance. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity. Monitoring reports to external funders ensures a consistent quality of delivery for the operational aspects of the charity

Remuneration Policy

CRCC is committed to ensuring a proper balance between (i) paying our staff and others who work for us fairly so that we attract and retain the best people for the job and (ii) careful management of our charity funds.

In so doing we will ensure the greatest effectiveness in delivering our charitable objectives and meeting the needs of our beneficiaries. When determining the salary for a new post, we will collect information about comparable roles in other organisations, preferably within the voluntary sector. We will use this information to benchmark our own salaries, normally aiming to set it at a level that appears to represent the market average. We will also seek advice from colleagues within other organisations when we know they employ people in similar roles. Salary allocations will be based on the requirements of the post, the experience each member of staff brings to the role, and the funding for the post.

Report of the Trustees Year Ended 31 March 2022 for Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre Charity No: 1179871

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant and contract income from Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner, The Big Lottery Fund, Lloyds Bank Foundation, Cambridgeshire County Council and income generated through community fundraising activities.

Reserves Policy

CRCC has a Reserves Policy. We require 3-6 months basic running costs in reserve to ensure that anyone depending on our service (especially long-term callers) are not left suddenly without support as this could have very serious repercussions for our very vulnerable service-users. Reserves for the year ending 31[st] March 2022 were £917,176 of which £250,546 were unrestricted and £666,630 were restricted. The trustees consider this to be a satisfactory amount.

Aims and Objectives

Our vision is that all women and girls can live free from the fear and experience of sexual violence

CRCC is a specialist sexual violence organisation which was set up to provide dedicated support services to women and girls who have experienced any form of sexual violence. CRCC acknowledges all forms of sexual violence, including: rape, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse, sexual harassment, rape in marriage, forced marriage, and so-called honour based violence, female genital mutilation, trafficking and sexual exploitation, ritual abuse, irrespective of whether the violence is from known or unknown perpetrators.

We listen and believe

Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre Aims to:

With special thanks

We would like to take the opportunity to extend very special thanks to: Rape Crisis England and Wales, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Cambridgeshire County Council, the Elms SARC , Women’s Resource Centre, EVAW, Centre for Women’s Justice, Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge City Council, University of Cambridge and our sister centre Peterborough Rape Crisis Care Group and members of the Cambridge and Peterborough Women’s Consortium for their continued support throughout this year (membership of the Consortium listed on Page 9).

Thanks also to the generosity and support of our funders. Without their continued support CRCC could not sustain the provision of vital support services to survivors in Cambridgeshire. Our funders include: Office of the Cambridgeshire Police and Crime Commissioner, Ministry of Justice, NHS England, Cambridgeshire County Council, Home Office, The Big Lottery, Co-op Community Fund and Lloyds Bank Foundation. We are particularly grateful to the many individuals, corporate donors and trusts, some anonymous, who give us their support every year.

Thanks to all the members of the management committee, the trustees, director, staff, sessional counsellors and volunteers of CRCC who have worked incredibly hard and whose commitment and dedication has enabled CRCC to continue and grow.

Special thanks to our amazing community of volunteers who deliver many of our core support services and without whom we wouldn’t be able to offer the wide range of sup port we do. Their dedication and commitment is inspirational and has helped make us the organisation we are today.

Our dedicated group of fundraising volunteers have organised fundraising events and activities, raising much needed funds for and awareness of CRCC despite the challenges of having to do much of this on-line and in different ways in response to the pandemic. It is with immense gratitude we thank the Cambridge community of families and individuals, all of whom helped support CRCC through fundraising activities and events.

A big thank you to every single member of CRCC without whom, we would not still be here, providing support to women and girls who have experienced rape or sexual abuse. The work you all do is important and we hope this annual report illustrates that.

And finally, thank you to all of the women and girls who use CRCC; for inspiring us with their strength and courage and for teaching us so much.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of Charitable Activities 1[st] April 2021 – 31[st] March 2022

As a specialist, independent, grass-roots organisation, this year Cambridge Rape Crisis Centre (CRCC) continued to provide excellent support services to survivors of sexual violence in Cambridgeshire. We have carried on working closely with a range of partner organisations to bring about the best possible outcomes for survivors, and have tackled and challenged the causes of sexual violence, as well as highlighting gaps in service provision.

We continued to respond to increasing demand, and to the additional challenges presented by the COVID 19 pandemic. Over the year, we have increased capacity across all CRCC services, in response to rapidly increasing demand for our support. Maintaining sufficient capacity to meet demand is an ongoing challenge for CRCC, but we are delighted to have grown the CRCC team and recruited a number of new staff and sessional counsellors with strong skills and experience. We have also continued to maintain flexible service provision to respond to changing government guidance around COVID-19.

Throughout the pandemic, CRCC has been a consistent source of support for survivors, many of whom have struggled with the increased isolation, heightened anxiety and other issues associated with the pandemic. CRCC continued to provide specialist wrap around support services to survivors of rape, sexual abuse and sexual violence in Cambridgeshire, through the availability of a confidential telephone helpline, trauma informed counselling service for adults and children, ISVA and ChISVA service, email support, group work and a Live Chat service.

This year CRCC continued to work in partnership with our sister centre, Peterborough Rape Crisis Care Group (PRCCG) to deliver an accessible, joined up and responsive countywide service for survivors.

We have continued to highlight the prevalence and impact of sexual violence through our essential community outreach and training.

Support services Emotional support services

We have sustained our telephone and email helpline services this year. A new volunteer group was recruited during the year and underwent the comprehensive CRCC helpline and email support training; this in turn has enabled us to continue to deliver these vital support services. We continued to deliver our new Live Chat service to enable survivors to have as many routes to support as possible. This year we responded to 721 calls to our helpline and supported 260 survivors. we received 1,688 emails to our Email Support Service, supporting 116 survivors through this service.

In 2021-22 there were over 25 volunteers providing the helpline and email service; these services could not run without the commitment and dedication of our volunteers. All CRCC volunteers receive an initial 50 hours’ specialist sexual violence training to undertake the role of helpline and email volunteer, as well as a further programme of continuous professional development (CPD). The training covers a wide range of topics and includes: understanding rape, gendered violence, child sexual abuse, ritual abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorders, suicide, self-harm and disordered eating,

working with young survivors, prostitution, sexual exploitation, supporting BAMER survivors, supporting LGBT+ survivors and the Criminal Justice System.

Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy Service (ISVAs)

Like with all of our service we have seen demand and acuity of need increase for the Adult and Children’s Independent Sexual Violence Advocacy service; this year 566 survivors have accessed these services, an increase of almost 100 referrals compared to last year.

This year we were able increase and improve our ISVA provision, through the introduction of a Specialist Engagement ISVA role. Early in the year, the Cambridge and Peterborough Rape Crisis Partnership was successful in securing funding from the Ministry of Justice to appoint additional ISVAs with a focused role to provide more intensive support to survivors from Black and racially minoritised communities. We were also able to enhance our ChISVA provision through the continued employment of an additional part-time ChISVA made possible with funding from the Cambridgeshire County Council’s CADA Home Office funded project.

Our ISVA service provides information, advocacy and support to survivors of historical, recent and acute sexual violence, and works closely with other relevant services and agencies in Cambridgeshire in order to address the impacts of sexual violence both on the individual survivor, their family and the local community. The ISVAs also provide independent and reliable advice to survivors of sexual violence in relation to police processes and the criminal justice system.

– The Children and Young Peoples ISVA service (ChISVA) supports those aged 0 18yrs, who are experiencing or who are at risk of experiencing child sexual abuse or exploitation. The ChISVA service supports children and young people to access a range of appropriate universal services, explores ways to help manage their mental health and help them to stay engaged within the criminal justice system. ChISVA support offered pre-trial, during and post-trial helps children and young people to make sense of the process and to feel supported, ready and able to stand up in court to give their best evidence.

Counselling and therapeutic services

We continue to see unprecedented need and demand for our counselling and therapeutic services. Referrals are at their highest levels to date, with a 55% increase on 2020-21. In the reporting period we were able to deliver counselling to 911 survivors, providing 2,676 counselling sessions, on-line, over the phone and in-person.

This was the last year that we delivered the NHS Talking Therapies contract, commissioned by NHS England & Improvement, to deliver immediate therapeutic support to those who are survivors of recent sexual violence and who have accessed the Sexual Assault Referral Centre within the previous 12 months. Due to the impacts of the pandemic this service was extended to include talking therapy provision for those who were survivors of historic sexual violence and abuse.

We were able to respond to the increases in demand and need for these services by recruiting a number of additional session counsellors to join our counselling team at CRCC.

Men and boys

CRCC continued to provide a number of services to male survivors and these include:

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (September 2015) and the Charities Act 2011.

The accounts (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 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Going Concern

There are no material uncertainties that would cast doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Income

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. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.

Grants

Grants (including government grants) relating to revenue are recognised in income and expenditure over the same period as the expenditure to which they relate once reasonable assurance has been gained that the charity will comply with the conditions and that the funds will be received.

Grants due from government organisations or received in advance are included as current assets or liabilities.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Support and management costs are allocated between funds based on the proportion of staff and volunteer hours in each service, on the assumption that the major management expenses is a result of personnel. Volunteers are weighted as half and work substantially fewer hours.

Taxation

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

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable’ s pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
