The Rob Hill Foundation
Trustees' Annual Report (continued)
Year ended 1 April 2023
Objectives and activities
The Rob Hill Foundation's aim is to further the advancement of health and wellbeing and the saving of lives through mental health and addiction. We widely promoted the free addiction recovery programme guide and have had in excess of 20,000 people download it. We expanded our call-taking ability and are now looking at providing our helpline 24 hours.
Our founder Chris Hill has been running support groups all year and has started back doing school talks and presentations around mental health, homeliness and addictions, this included a sponsored walk, talk & run for mental health.
Our Back to Kindness campaign December 2022 in the lead up to Christmas was also conducted regionally with 100 volunteers around the country signing up to deliver around 1000 filled rucksacks to people living on the streets.
Our online and physical workshops run throughout the week in various locations. With the free workshops going online - we were able to open up our help and support to people nationwide and in that way; offered help to the maximum amount of people in the easiest to access way.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Achievements and performance
The Rob Hill Foundation has had a successful year, maintaining its commitment to providing free and accessible addiction and mental health recovery. Not only did we create a virtual workshop and support group almost instantly; we also began providing group support through the launch of several regional Facebook groups (one for each region which pre-lockdown had a physical workshop).
The year has ended on an extremely positive note with the online workshops reaching hundreds of users nationwide and calls to our 0800 number vastly increased.
The Trustees, in having made decisions that ensure maximum access to effective help and support to the general public with no waiting times and maintaining a free service, have complied with their duty to have due regard for the Charity Commission's guidance in this area.

Year ended 1 April 2023
Financial review
The incoming resources in the year were £9,929. The resources expended this year were £9,074. The Charity recorded a surplus in the year of £855.
Reserves Policy
The trustees consider it necessary that unrestricted reserves are held in order to meet all the costs of future including meeting administration and other support costs for a period of 12 months. Trustees monitor and review the level of reserves at each year end and at least once during each year. At 1st April 2023 the accumulated fund showed a surplus of £9,385.
Plans for future periods
The charity looks forward to continuing its work with those in need of drug, alcohol and other addiction and mental health recovery services. All our physical workshops have been running throughout the year; increasing by the end of the year to around 5 workshops in all. Our goal is to widen community reach and to raise awareness of addiction, mental health and the work we do.
We have put together an extensive training programme for new workshop leaders and are signing up to do Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) England’s certification course for all our workshop leaders through the charity MIND.
Our most recent trustee Janet Stollery who has a long history of working with charities and securing fundraising and Janet is working hard looking at trust funding in the first instance.
We are also investigating local business sponsorship of our workshops to support running costs.
We have begun looking into working with youth organisations and creating a youth programme. We are also looking into the possibility of working with the police and fire service to support individuals with substance misuse issues.
We will also continue to expand our schools programme in an effort to support early intervention and prevention.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Rob Hill Foundation
Year ended 1 April 2023
I report on the financial statements for the year ended 1 April 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. 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.
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 next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act, and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 1 April 2023
1. General information
The charity is registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 29 Braundton Avenue, Sidcup, Kent DA15 8EN.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
3. Accounting policies
Incoming resources
Income receivable by the Charity is accounted for on an accrual’s basis. It is recognised as income as and when it can be quantified with reasonable accuracy and the Charity has legal rights over it.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Disclosure exemptions
The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the charity. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
The resources expended by the Charity are all in relation to the charitable activities provided and have been classified as such.
All costs relating to charitable activities are accounted for on an accrual’s basis.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Financial instruments (continued)
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
