5 Structure, Governance and Management Governing Document South Ayrshire Befriending Project is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 12 September It is a registered charity. Its governing document is its Memorandum and Articles of Association. It conforms to current companies' legislation and meets the requirements of the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator ('OSCR'). Recruitment, Appointment and Induction of Trustees The Board of Trustees, which must comprise at least four but not more than twelve members, elects a Chairman from their number annually. Further, one third of Trustees (or the nearest number upwards) must retire annually but are eligible to be put forward for re-election, should they so desire. Given recent Trustee changes no further appointments need reviewed at this time. this time. Due to the nature of the work carried out by the Charity, much focus is on the needs of vulnerable young people in Ayrshire. The Trustees therefore endeavour to ensure that the needs of this group are met through an appropriately skilled board group. They continue to seek out, by networking or personal contact, suitable individuals from professional and voluntary organisations who work with, or for, young people. They also endeavour to ensure that Trustees represent a good broad mix of traditional business skills and any apparent lack is regularly identified and support sought from appropriate sources. They have also enjoyed the continued support and advice of representatives from Strathclyde Police, the Scottish Children's Reporters Administration and Human Resources Department of the local authority. As well as being provided with documentary and personal contact detailing the work of the Charity, potential new Trustees are invited to meet with the co-ordinators and representatives of the Board in the office and familiarise themselves with the day to day work of the Charity. This enables both the interested potential Trustee and the existing Charity personnel to make an informed decision as to whether appointment as a Trustee should follow, including obtaining PVG checks. Once appointed, the Trustee follows, as soon as possible, a formal programme of induction which has been developed and is presented by the Company Secretary, covering matters such as: */ 3

6 Recruitment, Appointment and Induction of Trustees (Cont'd) * Obligations of Trustees under relevant legislation * Expectations of participation * Main documents which direct and govern the Charity's operations and activities including the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Charity's own Policies and Procedures * Responsibilities to our current funders The Charity continues to review its Policies and Procedures on an ongoing basis to ensure they remain up to date, making revisals where necessary. Organisational Structure The Charity has a board of Trustees of, currently, seven members which meets nine to ten times per year, and is responsible for its direction and policy. Several sub groups exist with delegated responsibility for certain areas of the Charity's work, for example, Recruitment and Advertising, Fundraising and a Liaison group to communicate with staff members. These sub groups are headed by an appropriate board member and report back to the main board. The day to day running of the Charity (detailed below under 'Objectives and Activities') is carried out by one senior co-ordinator (who also has the Board's authority to act, within certain limits, as office manager) and two other co-ordinators. They are assisted in their work by a Project assistant. Since the year end, the Board has appointed a part-time Administration Officer to manage the young people and volunteers' databases, preparing information for reports and, if necessary, funding applications. Related Parties The Charity has a close relationship with South Ayrshire Council staff, local schools, teachers, health visitors, psychologists and many other professionals involved in the young person's life. The Charity is also a member of several supportive organisations such as Befriending Networks and Children in Scotland where, as well as participating in training, staff members network with colleagues working in similar environments. It benefits from the close support of South Ayrshire Child Protection Committee, taking advantage of many training opportunities as well as practical guidance and support. The Charity also enjoys a close relationship with many of its funders, several of whom offer practical as well as financial support. Risk Management/ 4

7 Risk Management Most risks identified by the Trustees are those which are covered by insurance. The Charity's ongoing review of its Policies and Procedures, as referred to above, continues to form part of an ongoing, regular risk assessment procedure. Objectives and Activities The Object of the Charity, as stated in its current Memorandum and Articles of Association (paragraph 3) "shall be to relieve the suffering and distress of, advance the education of and promote the welfare of children and young people within the South Ayrshire area, without distinction of political, religious, ethnic and other beliefs and opinions by providing a Befriending Service for children and young people who may be in need by reason of ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage". Young people who are thought to be in need are referred to the Charity from a number of sources. In order to meet this objective, the Charity aims to: * Work in partnership with other agencies involved with the young person to identify relevant needs and provide appropriate service. * Develop the young person's confidence and self esteem through participation and integration in the community. * Facilitate the empowerment of the young person through the focus of a one to one supportive friendship. * Support the young people to set their own targets to work to. * Recruit, train and support adult volunteer befrienders from the South Ayrshire area to provide and maintain a positive befriending relationship for a minimum period of six months. * Provide and sustain clear channels of communication between the Charity and referring agents, volunteer befrienders, young people and their families. The Project carried out its work with the help of 67 volunteers over the course of the year. This included those involved in one to one matches, meeting for around 2-3 hours every two weeks, and those supporting young people in group situations for a few hours roughly once a month. The main work of the staff of the Charity includes: * Assessing referrals for entry criteria. * Recruiting adult volunteers and completing an assessment process including interview, seeking references and obtaining PVG checks. * Carrying out a four week volunteer training programme in preparation for matching together with a final review process. */ 5

8 Objectives and Activities (Cont'd) * Identifying appropriate matches and supporting the initial meetings of young person and volunteer. * Monitoring ongoing matches for progress. * Liaising with referrers, families, young people and volunteers. * Supporting existing volunteers through training and support evenings. * Involvement in activities to maintain the Charity as a high profile group. * Involvement as appropriate in fundraising/grant seeking activities. * Involvement as necessary to ensure all policies and procedures are appropriate and up to date. * Supporting past/present young people to participate in the YOB ("Youngsters of Befrienders") which is a group run by the young people themselves to arrange outings and activities. It also acts as an advisory group to the Board, and helps to keep it in touch with the young people whom the Charity serves. The Board continues to consider these group activities to be particularly significant in the circumstances of the Charity as a whole, given the very positive effects which participation in them has on most of the young people involved. Achievements and Performance The Charity has had a very good year and has had several significant successes. * In June the Project was awarded the Excellence Award for Quality in Befriending, at the time only the 3rd in Scotland to achieve this award. This is in recognition of the high standard of our good and safe practice. * Several of our volunteers were recognised at the National Saltire Awards, which rewards under 25s who volunteer. As well as our befrienders, some of our young people who have volunteered in our young people committee (YOBs) received certificates from both Saltire and VASA. Volunteers over the age of 25 are recognised through a regional South Ayrshire Volunteer Awards scheme and several of our befrienders in this age category received awards for their contribution to their community through volunteering. * The Project realised a long-held goal to make an information DVD about the Project, starring some of our young people and volunteers. This was commissioned by the YOBs and produced by students from the University of the West of Scotland as part of a course project and is used as an information tool for new users of the Project. It is also available on our website. There/ 6

9 Achievements and Performance (Cont'd) There have been some significant changes in the Board with several new Trustees joining, as the Board continued to strengthen and broaden the experience of the management. All have worked or continue to work with young people. The Chairman, Helen Steele stood down just after the year end in a planned retirement after serving for over 10 years. She is replaced by Christopher Groves as Chair. The role of SWD adviser remained unfilled but the Board is hopeful that it is to be filled shortly. The Board agreed during the year that to meet the continuing significant commitment in securing funding they would appoint a part time (2 day) Project Administrator to undertake the work of making grant applications and meet reporting requirements and to maintain the young people and volunteer databases, these roles being previously undertaken by some Trustees. The Project's staff team continues to work extremely well together under the supervision of the senior Co-ordinator. The Board has established systems to allow the recording and assessment of progress against targets, and they continue to prove a very useful tool for self-evaluation and monitoring, a measurement of staff performance and an indicator of success for potential funders. The Project supported 53 individual matches over the year, against a target of 50. They support on average about 30 matches a month. They also supported on average another 5 young people on the YOBs (Youngsters of Befriending - their choice!) committee while not matched. Despite our stricter criteria, the Project continued to attract a large number of referrals. At the year-end there were 18 young people accepted onto the list and awaiting a match. As well as the Charity's main work of making and supporting one to one befriending matches, the Co-ordinators continued to make available a number of group activities with 11 run in the year, from a Mindfulness and Confidence workshop to a trip to the Z1 Youth Café in Girvan. The Project has continued to attract a significant number of volunteers who undergo our training programme before being matched with a young person or working as a group volunteer. 24 new volunteers were trained in the year and a number of existing volunters were re-matched. The programme of information and support evenings for volunteers continues to run, with 9 evenings during the year with subjects ranging from Children's Hearings presentation to Drugs and Alcohol awareness training. Compulsory refreshers in Child Protection training continue as a matter of course. Each matched volunteer will normally meet with a young person for around 2-3 hours every two weeks as well as supporting them in group activities where possible. At the end of the year the Charity had 53 supported and active volunteers aged from 18 to 69; most involved in one-to-one matches and others helping out a group events, at the YOB meetings or offering taxi services. Our/ 7

10 Achievements and Performance (Cont'd) Our 5th Young People's Conference was held in the year. "Working Together to be Strong" had a theme of problem solving and team work. The conference was facilitated by Adventure Centre for Education (ACE) who designed and delivered a number of fun and interactive challenges, including orienteering, pyramid challenge and ski challenge. This was very well attended by volunteers, young people and members of the management committee. The Project secured additional funds to allow interested young people the opportunity to attend a local Taekwondo class. With the help of volunteer drivers to transport them, and free admission agreed by the instructor, two young people have taken this opportunity forward and are showing real talent and commitment having recently been successful in obtaining their second grading. New Initiatives The YOB's committee had asked the Board to consider allowing our young people to have an overnight activity. Since the year end the Project has been successful in securing funding from Awards for All for a programme of events including 2 overnight adventures, which will be facilitated by ACE later in the year. For various reasons many of our young people are unable to participate in other such opportunities at school and this will be their first experience of this type of group activity. The Project has also been increasingly aware that they receive a large number of referrals for socially isolated young people with additional support needs which we are unable to accept under our new stricter criteria. Unfortunately there are no other resources to which we could refer these young people on. The Board has therefore decided to trial a "Buddies" project targeted at these young people and is in the process of seeking funding to support this. As noted last year the Project had decided to encourage our young people to be more focussed on progress by setting and achieving goals. This has grown in success as staff and volunteers become more skilled at supporting our young people to do this and some goals have been set and achieved. * Trying a new club * Going to a football match * Hill walking * Creating a DVD Financial Review * The Project continues to raise all of its funding from voluntary sources with the exception of the Service Level Agreement awarded by South Ayrshire Council was the 2nd year of a 3 year contract, with provision for this to be extended for an additional 2 years if conditions are met. */ 8

11 Financial Review (cont'd) * The Project is fully funded for the current year and is just short of full funding for 2014/15 with significant funding also in place for later years. * As noted earlier in this report the Board has appointed a (part-time) Administration Officer to support fund-raising, statistical and reporting needs. This appointment was in recognition of the fact that the significant level of input by Trustees was unlikely to be sustainable going forward. In addition, administrative assistance for the Project has also been extended from 4 to 5 days a week. In consequence this has resulted in an increase in Salaries and NIC Costs, which is reflected in the expenditure for this category of spend in 2014/15 compared to previous years. * With the Project's spending on Staff Training on having been increased significantly to meet the conditions attached to the Quality in Befriending award, in comparison the level of spend in declined to a level that is more typically sufficient to pay for the necessary quantity and quality of on-going training in support of staff development. * The reduction in Staff Travel recorded in is due to a methodological change for recording the costs involved, recognising as as far as possible the 'end' for which the travel is the 'means'. So, for example, staff travel for the purpose of having a meeting with a young person (e.g. to assess their suitability for being taken on by the Project or to review their progress as part of the Project) is categorised as a befriending cost. This procedural change is a partial cause of the increases in both Befriending Costs and Volunteers' Training and Support Costs incurred in * As noted above, the significant increases in in both Befriending Costs and Volunteers' Training and Support Costs are partially due to the change in method of recording staff travel costs. However, these categories of spend are also affected by other factors, including the increasing number of young people being befriended, the number of volunteers trained and the timing within the year of the training, and the rising costs involved in befriending each young person. Whilst every effort is made to keep these cost increases in check, the impact and success of the Project is dependent on the relationship that is built up between each young person and his/her befriender. In turn this is a function of the attractiveness to the young person of the outings with their befriender. So our befrienders are encouraged to be 'cost conscious' at all times, but not necessarily 'penny pinching'. Policy on Reserves The trustees have assessed the level of free reserves that the Charity will require to sustain its operation and are actively seeking funding to meet those costs for the forthcoming year as noted above. They/ 9

12 Policy on Reserves (Cont'd) They have, however, continued to support three designated reserves to reflect restrictions in available funding. * A Fixed Asset Reserve has been maintained to reflect funding tied up in fixed assets. * In view of the relatively short term nature of the Charity's funding, a Closure reserve has continued to be funded to reflect potential closure costs, including redundancy and other costs. * In addition to these, a Wind-down fund, established in recognition of the particular demands that the work of the Charity has on forward planning, continues to be supported. This reserve recognises the particularly personal nature of the services provided by the Charity. In the event of a lack of funding, the policies require a wind-down period of 10 weeks to allow for the appropriate ending of matches and liaison with social services as necessary. In this difficult funding environment the need to consider implementing this policy has continued to impinge seriously upon, and slow down, the Charity's work on a number of occasions. This fund will cover costs during that period and allow the deadline to be delayed until the end of the relevant financial year if insufficient funding is in place for future periods. Trustees Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity at the end of the financial year and its surplus or deficit for the year. In doing so the Trustees are required to: * Select suitable accounting policies and then reasonably apply them consistently. * Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and * Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business. The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and enables them to ensure the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985 and those provisions of the Companies Act 2006 being in force. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. Independent Reporting Accountant/ 10

13 Independent Reporting Accountant It will be proposed at the next meeting of the Board that John Jackson of Adam & Co be reappointed as independent reporting accountant to the Charity for the ensuing year. The Trustees would place on record their thanks and appreciation to all staff, volunteers, funders and other supporters who have made such a contribution to the effectiveness of the Charity during the past year. By Order of the Trustees.. Christopher R Groves Chairman 19 August

Basis of independent accountant's statement My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 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 seeks explanations from trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

20 STATEMENT OF ACCUMULATED FUNDS FOR YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2014 (CONT'D) Wind-down This fund recognises the particularly personal nature of the services of the Project. Our policies require a wind-down period of 10 weeks to allow for appropriate ending of matches and liaison with social services as necessary. In this difficult funding environment the need to consider implementing this policy has seriously impinged on and slowed down the work of the Project on a number of occasions. This fund will ensure the wind-down deadline can be delayed until closer to the end of the financial year if insufficient funding is in place for future periods. 18
