THE BRIGITTE TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Brigitte Trust is named after its founder Brigitte Watkin. The charity is proud to uphold Brigitte's original purpose, and its objectives are to:

The service is entirely free to the clients and is provided through our team of highly trained and committed volunteers supported by salaried professional staff. It may be accessed:

A professional management team recruits and trains the volunteers, manages the referrals process matching clients with the right volunteer to meet their needs, supports volunteers and administers the work of the Trust, ensuring funding is secured.

A volunteer board of Trustees provides the necessary governance.

Volunteers

The Brigitte Trust upholds the highest standards of practice and care in all areas of its activity. All of our volunteers are interviewed both before the commencement of their training and after its completion, and all are DBS checked. A robust programme of support is in place.

The Brigitte Trust are hugely grateful for the commitment and hard work of all the volunteers on whom the Trust relies. It is through their dedication, commitment and professionalism in supporting clients and their families at difficult times that the Brigitte Trust's values and ethos are best demonstrated.

Each year we plan recruitment to maintain and increase our volunteer workforce. The Brigitte Trust is committed to equal opportunities and reflecting diversity in recruitment, service delivery and all other aspects of our work.

The volunteers support people for a period of up to three hours every week. The support provided is wide-ranging and can include sitting quietly with a client, support with shopping, transport to medical appointments etc. However, our service goes far beyond befriending, with trained volunteers providing hugely important emotional, as well as practical support.

The Trust has expanded its volunteer workforce to 154 trained volunteers. On average there are approximately 140 active volunteers at any time, supporting one to two people each.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Public benefit

In accordance with Section 4 of the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees have had due regard to the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity's activities and planning future activities. We consider that our service plays an important role in:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

2020/21 has been an exceptional and unprecedented year with a significant increase in the number of volunteers and people supported. In addition, we have rebranded with a new logo and strapline 'Helping people live well beyond diagnosis' and have a vibrant new website with a range of new features and functions.

Highlights include:

With Covid-19 we regrettably had to make the difficult decision to suspend our home visiting service, Neurological Support Group and support for the dying in hospital. However, we responded positively and quickly to this by providing an emotional and bereavement support service by phone and moved the Neurological Support Group online. We expanded our criteria to support any adult in Surrey who is lonely, isolated, vulnerable, in low mood, bereaved or a carer. We were recognised by Surrey County Council as a trusted partner and they have referred or signposted vulnerable people to us who could benefit from our support. As a result we were able to apply for a number of Covid specific grants and have had considerable success.

We said a fond farewell to Vanessa Smith who retired as Promotions Manager after 30 years of being with the Trust and we recruited Tanya Stafford as our new Engagement, Fundraising and Promotions Lead. Ingrid Walker has moved from Charity Administrator to Business & Digital Co-ordinator.

Our Clients

During 2020/21 in response to the pandemic we widened our criteria to provide telephone support to any adult in Surrey who was lonely, isolated, in low mood, bereaved, a carer or anyone in need of support. As a result our client profile changed. 78.3% of clients were Covid-19 support related, but we continued to support those with a diagnosis of cancer (13.5%) neurological conditions (5.6%) and other end stage illnesses such as respiratory disease, heart and renal failure (2.6%).

We supported a wide age demographic with a range of between 18-100+, however the majority were aged over 60.

Referrals

Over the years The Brigitte Trust has built strong partnerships with local providers, including hospices, hospitals, social care and other community based services many of whom make regular referrals into our service. We are committed to building upon these partnerships and working closely with other organisations who work with the people we support.

During the year we have strengthened our relationships and reputation with new and existing partners. We represented the Voluntary Sector on the Welfare Cell a sub-group of the Surrey Local Resilience Forum and as a result raised our profile with District & Borough Councils, Wellbeing Teams, Surrey Police, Adult Social Care etc. We also were a key partner in the development of the Surrey Palliative & End of Life Care Strategy 2021-2026.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Future plans

The Trustees and the staff team are currently reviewing our strategic direction. We have a number of exciting service developments to take forward in 2021/22. These include establishing a robust and structured bereavement support programme, a neurological support group in West Surrey, a Coffin Club and developing an educational programme around death and dying for the general public. Our reserves enable us to invest in these initiatives.

In the year ahead we also have plans to move offices as our lease ends in December 2022 and we have expressed interest in a local community hub which is being developed.

Funding

Surrey Heartlands Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) continued to provide the Trust with core funding and we wish to acknowledge this and thank them for their continued support for our work. This funding allows us to provide support across all of Surrey:

Beyond the core funding received from the CCG, the Trust has successfully sought funding from corporate partners and legacies, fundraising initiatives and events, gifting and stakeholder donations as well as a range of grant giving foundations.

We are grateful for our donors for their support this year, including:

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Financial Results for the Year

The Trust made a surplus of £106,697 (2020: surplus of £104,365). This is an exceptional turnaround given the previous few years' results. This is predominantly due to the success of our Consultant Fundraiser who has made a significant number of high quality applications which have resulted in grant awards, particularly for our Covid-19 support. In addition we also we received another substantial legacy and our fundraising efforts and donations remained strong despite the restrictions.

Reserves policy

Having taken account of:

the Trustees continue to agree that unrestricted reserves should not fall below a minimum of six months' running costs.

Our running costs for current activities are projected to be £180,000 in the next financial year implying a minimum reserve figure of £90,000.

The surplus of unrestricted funds over the minimum will be used to support the new initiatives planned for by the Trust as outlined in the Future Plans section of this report as well as other as yet unidentified future initiatives.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, 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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income and grants

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. Investment income is recorded when receivable.

Gift Aid reclaimable on donations to the Trust is included with the amount received.

Grants are recognised when the entitlement to the grant is confirmed. Revenue based grants are recognised in the period in which the related costs are incurred.

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.

Governance costs

Governance costs are those incurred in relation to the administration of the Trust and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Office equipment - 25% on reducing balance Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Taxation

As the Trust's aims are charitable, no corporation tax liability arises for the year.

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. Expenditure which meets those criteria is allocated to that fund. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

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

Volunteers' help

The value of any voluntary help is not included in the accounts but the role of volunteers is described in the trustees' Annual Report.
