Annual Review 2010 - 2011
Reports Chairman’s Report I am always delighted to present our annual report and review of the last year; and what better place to start my overview of the year than to highlight a number of amazing achievements! Hearty congratulations to our Executive Director who was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours in June 2010. Fran has been at the helm of Splitz since 1989 when the organisation began its life as a small service for people struggling with ‘parenting alone’. Her enthusiasm and passion for this work continues to be unfailingly infectious. On behalf of the trustees, this honour is richly deserved particularly for her stamina; determination and fortitude that change is possible when people work together to achieve a common purpose. Our business plan identifies key goals which will help us to achieve our vision. Attaining appropriate quality marks helps us to demonstrate that we have sound processes which recognise our professionalism. We believe our DV Voluntary Perpetrator Programme is an excellent project producing outstanding results. The Turnaround Programme enables the people responsible for harmful behaviour in intimate relationships to make significant lifestyle changes making home a safer place for victims and their children. However, we
recognised the need for an external body to recognise this as well so we were all particularly delighted when Respect finally accredited our programme in November. Only four organisations nationally had achieved this so again, well done, everyone! I am aware of the hard work required by particular members of our team to achieve this accreditation and sincere thanks go to them for their resolve and tenacity in this remarkable achievement. Investors in People returned in November to review our standard. Not only did we maintain our standard, but we were awarded the charter mark at Bronze level. This illustrates that we are working well with our business plan priority of providing our staff, volunteers and trustees with a wide range of opportunities for professional development. I take personal pride in providing services that are hallmarked by quality, flexibility and the ability to respond to the needs and circumstances of individuals who are often experiencing extreme difficulties and challenges. It is particularly satisfying to know that the needs of our services users continue to be at the heart of our work. Our business plan will be refreshed in the forthcoming year providing us with a strong foundation on which to build future developments. 5

We will also be taking forward our intention to achieve PQASSO (Practical Quality Assurance System for Small Organisations) at level 2. This will demonstrate that our governance policies and procedures are effective and efficient. Our confidence increases as we move towards achieving PQASSO. We are learning more about our strengths and weaknesses in relation to our governance system polices and procedure and the process is helping us to identify areas for improvement. Our trustee board is firmly established and I’m really grateful for the time, effort, commitment and willingness of the members to grasp the nettles of change. Our existing portfolio is now a firm foundation with structures in place to support future developments including partnership working with a range of other agencies.

always acknowledged the needs of hard to reach individuals who will always be at the heart of our existing services and any new developments. Underpinning all activity is our operational management team who contribute a healthy, strong and vibrant infrastructure; informing, driving and supporting us to continue to fulfil our amazing potential as an organisation. None of these things would have been possible with their enthusiastic support and encouragement so I express my sincere thanks to them.
A tough economic climate posed many challenges so it is all the more remarkable that not only did Splitz meet its targets but exceeded them. I have every confidence that as the charity continues to grow and develop; people coming into contact with us will take away a strong sense of wellbeing.
The trustees and I also want to give our special thanks to our Executive Director, Fran Lewis MBE, who created this charity and has nurtured it for over 22 years with unfailing perseverance and dedication. Her vision and passion has given breadth and depth to the organisation. Splitz has grown to be a well recognised and highly valued organisation that makes a significant difference to our area of benefit. On behalf of the trustee board I would like to take this opportunity to heartily and sincerely thank everyone involved with the charity for their continued energy and enthusiasm for making it happen.
At the heart of our mission is the question of what more we are capable of doing to help to bring about the changes needed in our neighbourhoods. We are aware that the ‘big society’ is made up of ‘small communities’ and it is most gratifying to note that our organisation has

Treasurer’s Report Once again we have ended the financial year in a reasonably healthy financial position. Our total income for the year was £692,083 with an expenditure of £692,092. This includes £5,993 depreciation and £46,375 for deferrals. Deferrals consist of grants in advance. We are aiming to have in hand sufficient funds to meet the criteria of our Reserves Policy in order to meet our commitments. While there has been a steady growth in income, there has been an equally steady increase in expenditure with the development of new and additional services.
to specific activities. While some restricted funds have ended in the current year, others are new. Restricted funds rarely continue indefinitely, so we need to ensure that appropriate funds are available if we want a specific project to continue. Non restricted funds are dealt with as designated funds enabling us to more effectively manage our resources. The interest rate this year has again been appreciably lower which has had an impact on our banking interest; so the current financial problems experienced globally have continued to affect us significantly.

Executive Director’s Report
Titian, Flora (1515), Uffizi Gallery, Florence
Imagine a work of art by an old master such as Goya or Titian. Copies, while almost indistinguishable from the original, are merely replicas; however a masterpiece is unique. There is only one. It cannot be replaced if it is destroyed. Dirt and age may disguise the brilliance of the colours, masking the quality of the work. But it is still unique and remains the work of a great master. However, a masterpiece such as this can be restored, it can be cleaned and it can be repaired. It can be brought back to its original glory.

changes; overcoming challenges and moving forward to reach a level of independence they’d previously thought would be unreachable. We know that sometimes, we cannot change their circumstances, and we cannot undo the damage. But we can help them see that there is a way forward, that they can view their situation from a different perspective. We can help them get to a place where they can start to feel better, grow in self esteem and improve their confidence in their ability to cope. Our service users are like one of the works of art mentioned above. Our job is to help them and support them through a very black period; to help them realize that they are unique; a masterpiece! They are irreplaceable. We cannot get another one if they are destroyed. But we can help them by showing them that repair and restoration is more than possible and being right there beside them supporting them with their journey.
At Splitz, we see each service user as a unique masterpiece, often coming to us feeling damaged, alone, hurt, bewildered, frightened, broken and in despair with an overwhelming sense of hopelessness.
Our service users are at the heart of everything we do. We listen carefully to what their needs are and respond accordingly. This is the main reason we established most of our projects; the young people’s work, the voluntary perpetrator programme, the Buddy scheme. (For more detail about our projects read on!).
It is an privilege to help people to identify their choices and a real joy to support them in making significant

It is important to illustrate that our policies and procedures and are robust and that we work to a national standard. During the year, we underwent our 3 year review by Investors in People and I’m delighted to say that we not only retained our standard, but achieved it at Bronze level!

These accreditations illustrate that we are working to high standards. However, it is also important that, as an organisation, we can show that our governance systems reflect the same. For this reason, we are working our way through PQASSO and extend our grateful thanks to Doug Western who is helping us tremendously.
Fancy that; eh?! Fancy that... I was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours 2010! I was humbled, amazed, delighted and almost speechless! I am no longer scrubbing a huge elephant with a Brillo pad all by myself. Thank you to the many wonderful people working

delighted and proud that we achieved the Accreditation with Respect during the year. It’s one thing to know we’re delivering a robust and well structured integrated programme, but it was brilliant that a national body, an external agency, agreed and gave us a big red tick!
at Splitz and in our community who contribute significantly to this work. I was delighted to receive such an honour which I accepted on behalf of all of us. I was amazed because 37 years ago my life was very different. I was in the darkest place imaginable and could not see my way out; totally lost, frightened and alone. Desolate beyond consolation. I thought I was damaged beyond repair. But eventually several significant people came along who supported me; people who listened to me and valued me as an individual; helped me grasp that I, also, am special; a unique masterpiece! The story about my journey of change I will speak of another time. So, you see, I was only almost speechless to receive this wonderful award! My investiture at Windsor Castle on 5th October was awesome with Princess Ann presiding surrounded by Ghurkhas in full battle dress. The military orchestra was outstanding and I was extremely nervous; meaning that I couldn’t stop grinning like a Cheshire cat! All over soon enough and my husband and I spent a few days enjoying the sights of Windsor before coming back to Wiltshire to resume our rich and fulfilling lives. I am looking forward to the next year anticipating that it too, will be full of promise.

Demonstrating Quality
Splitz is committed to developing and delivering quality services. To do this we work to national standards and demonstrate this by achieving external accreditation whenever appropriate. This year we have achieved 2 new quality marks. Splitz has been recognised for being a splendid employer by achieving the Investor in People Bronze award. By meeting 98 elements of the standard we are close to a silver award, which we aim to achieve next year. Splitz has been recognised by Respect as a provider of quality groups for perpetrators of domestic abuse and associated safety services to (ex)partners. Splitz continues to hold quality marks for the way we support our volunteers, and the mentoring and befriending service we provide - the Buddy Scheme. In 2011 we will work towards achieving the PQASSO quality mark at level 2.

Achievements
Peer Recognition Being appreciated by our peers is one of the highest accolades. In June 2010 Fran was recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours list by being awarded an MBE. Fran was presented with her medal by Princess Anne at Windsor Castle on 5 October 2010. What About Me? A video made by young people who had been helped by the SplitzKidz and KidzPace projects. The project was organised and managed by Wayne Kerr of ITV Fixers. The storyline story was written by the young people and reflects what they wanted to say, but was performed by professional actors. This video is quite powerful and is being used by other organisations. The video can be viewed from our website. I Need to Talk Another video made by young people. The story was written and performed by the young people with technical assistance provided by the Mega Media Challenge. As well as providing a medium for the young people to tell their story it was also an opportunity to experience film making first hand. The video can be seen on our website.

Our Services Domestic Violence & Abuse
Outreach Services We deliver domestic violence and abuse outreach services in Wiltshire and Swindon. To compliment these services we offer our own group workshops for women* who have experienced abuse. The workshop manual was developed in 1994 and was updated in 2010. Swindon Outreach Service The service in Swindon is funded through Swindon Borough Council. This year we received 114 referrals. Wiltshire Outreach Service The service in Wiltshire is funded by the Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership and the Big Lottery Fund. This year we received 273 referrals.
* The outreach services are available to male and female victims but the group workshops are currently only available to women.

Splitz Support Service
Young People
Young People’s Support Service This service consists of 2 separate projects developed at different times to meet similar needs. We would like to combine them into one service over the coming years, taking the best from both. As secondary victims of domestic abuse, young people can be affected too. Specific domestic abuse support for young people aged 11-16 years both locally and nationally is patchy. We deliver outreach support services with optional group workshops. In one project concurrent group workshops for parents are provided. KidzPace This service is provided in north and west Wiltshire, and is funded by Comic Relief. This year we had 75 referrals and ran 3 workshops: 2 for young people and one for parents. SplitzKidz This service is provided in the south and east of Wiltshire, and is funded by BBC Children in Need and the Herbert and Peter Blagrave Charitable Trust. This year we had 38 referrals, down on previous years due to uncertainty over funding.

Annual Review 2010 - 2011
Parenting
Mother & Baby Unit To enable single young mums learn life skills we work with Westlea Housing Association to provide a residential mother and baby unit in Trowbridge. As well as providing accommodation for 4 young mums and their babies the project aims to equip the residents with the necessary skills prior to taking on their own tenancy. The service is funded by Wiltshire Council. Cookery Project Cookery lessons are an additional service we provide, which are generally well attended and appreciated. The cookery project is funded by the William ‘Doc’ Couch Trust and Have a Heart.
17
Splitz Support Service
Housing
Community4 Community4 is a consortium of 4 local service providers, including Splitz, delivering a housing related floating support service in Wiltshire. The service supports people to live independently in a home they have chosen and aims to prevent housing crisis or homelessness. Support is provided through one-to-one sessions in the community or at drop-in sessions held in various parts of the county. The service is funded by Wiltshire Council. This year Community4 had over 850 referrals and ran 200 drop-in sessions.

Annual Review 2010 - 2011
Perpetrator Groups
We believe that some men can change their behaviour if they are given the opportunity and support. We deliver groups for perpetrators in Wiltshire and Bristol. Our programme was accredited by Respect in November 2010. Although it uses the same programme our service in Bristol is not yet covered by the accreditation. Integral to this programme is the Women’s Safety Service. The women’s safety worker helps ensure the partners and the children are safe and monitors the impact the programme is having on the family. Stopping Violence Programme The service in Bristol is funded by Safer Bristol. This year we had 39 referrals. Turnaround Programme The service in Wiltshire is funded by the Lloyds TSB Foundation for England and Wales, the LankellyChase Foundation and the Henry Smith Charity. This year we had 50 referrals.
19
Splitz Support Service
Volunteering
We offer a range of volunteering opportunities across all our projects. We developed comprehensive policies and procedures for ensuring the wellbeing of our volunteers, gaining Investing in Volunteers standard in 2009. Buddy Scheme The majority of our volunteers are with the Buddy Scheme. The scheme is a mentoring/ befriending service providing low level support to people who were service users with Splitz or other agencies. The scheme was set up in accordance with the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation guidelines and was awarded Approved Provider Status in 2009. The service is mainly funded by a Department of Health OFV Grant. This year we recruited 11 new volunteers and had 59 new referrals for the service. Other Volunteers We have one volunteer helper on the cookery project at Newburn House and 3 volunteer facilitators on our perpetrator programmes.

Referrals The number of referrals remains steady and within our capacity to deliver a service. We are working to eliminate the waiting list with our outreach service. Uncertainty over continued funding for our young people’s services meant we had to limit referrals. Funding was renewed in September 2010. Demographics In recent years we began to set some demographic targets with a view to improving access to our services. We recognise that some service users are unwilling to disclose disabilities or provide other monitoring data. At this time we have no serious concerns about access to our services. Referral Route A major indicator of how widely our service is recognised and respected is the range of referral routes. Although we encourage self referrals to most of our services we still capture data on how the individual was signposted to us. We continue to receive referrals or have people signposted from a wide range of agencies and organisations.

Annual Review 2010 - 2011
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES & ACHIEVEMENTS Our Vision Is for a society where people have the right to be respected; have the opportunity to enjoy a happy and healthy life, free from fear; and are able to achieve and sustain independence. Our Mission We are able to work towards our vision by working with individuals, communities and other agencies to: Help people identify, come to terms with and overcome their difficulties and challenges. Provide high quality support services. Generate solutions appropriate to the needs of our communities. The Trustees agree that the organisation has satisfactorily achieved its objectives in the last 12 months through core work and the development of projects. During the year Splitz has provided support directly to 555 new families who care for over 827 children. 112 children were referred to KidzPace and SplitzKidz. Community4, a housing related support service, was developed in partnership with Alabare, DHI & Westlea Housing. Community4 has provided support to over 851 people helping them with various difficulties. Over 12 people trained to become mentors/befrienders with the Buddy Scheme. With all our projects service users are empowered to identify, come to terms with and overcome their personal challenges. The underpinning aim of all our work is to enable people to achieve and sustain their own independence. The charity has paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
PROJECTS Paloma Project – Wiltshire (Domestic abuse victim outreach service) The service users were predominantly women with experience of domestic violence and abuse. This project is based on ‘one to one’ work with the aim of improving safety for victims and their children. Funded through partnering agreement with Wiltshire Council & the Big Lottery Fund. Paloma Project - Swindon (Domestic Abuse victim outreach service) Again, the service users were predominantly women with experience of domestic violence and abuse. As with Wiltshire, this project is based on ‘one to one’ work with the aim of improving safety for victims and their children. Funded by Swindon Borough Council through the tendering process.

Working to the approved provider standard with the Mentoring and Befriending Foundation as well as Investing in Volunteers standards ensures that this work is delivered to national standards. The service users were all ‘parenting alone’, often with experience of domestic abuse. This project is funded primarily by Volunteering England, with supporting amounts from Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation and the Southwest Community Foundation.
GOVERNANCE Sustainability We were successful in raising sufficient funds to enhance the Wiltshire Paloma project through partnership funding with the Big Lottery Fund. We were also successful in gaining a further three year commitment of funding from BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief to continue to provide the two services for young people. With additional funding we can reduce our waiting lists for all of the projects and achieve improved outcomes for service users. We are now seeking sustainable funding to continue the Turnaround Programme; particularly now that Accreditation with Respect has been achieved. Governance To ensure our standards are of the best quality and to further enhance public confidence we are working towards achieving a national external accreditation. We have the services of an external consultant to gain PQASSO level 2. Business Plan 2008 -13 Our business plan illustrates the need to strengthen our organisational infrastructure and look at ways of splitting the functions performed by our Executive Director into strategic, operational, fundraising, HR and administration. We have achieved some of this during the year and costs will be distributed through ‘full cost

recovery’. Achieving PQASSO will ensure that we have quality management systems of a national standard. Our business plan is under constant scrutiny and during 2011 it will be reviewed and refreshed. Staff During the year we employed 38 people (29 part time, 9 full time) 4 sessional workers and 29 volunteers. All of our staff team are to be commended for their dedication and commitment to the organisation and its work. They all participate enthusiastically in team meetings, Away Days, training and supervision opportunities. There are a number of other professionals who we engage whose contribution is considered to be of vital significance to the well being of our service including the mobile crèche workers, the group facilitators and the external supervisors. Organisation Splitz Support Service is an independent registered Charity and Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee. It is not a local branch of any national charity or organisation. Financial Review We have ended the financial year in a healthy position. The attached financial statements show a small deficit for the year to 31 March 2011 of £9 (2009/10 Surplus £58,802). Financial Reserves Policy The trustees have agreed to increase the reserves amount from £150,000 to £165,000. This is the first increase for 5 years and the decision was reached to take account of the increase in the activities of the charity. This reflects good financial management and is sufficient to underpin our long term commitments in the event of loss of income. Reserves are to be maintained at a level which will ensure that our core activities can continue during an unforeseen period of financial difficulty. In accordance with guidelines issued by the Charity Commissioners, the Trustees have adopted a policy regarding financial reserves with the aim of holding up to six months running costs in unrestricted funds ensuring that there are adequate funds to ensure that the Charity is able to meet all current and known future liabilities. Risk Review The Trustees have conducted their own review of the major risks to which the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects and to ensure consistent quality of delivery for all operational aspects of the charitable company. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. Investment Powers and Restrictions As indicated in the charity’s Memorandum of Association. Trustees Responsibilities Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the incoming and outgoing resources for the year then ended. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. 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. Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.
27
Splitz Support Service
Delegated Responsibilities The trustees have delegated day-to-day management decisions to the Executive Director: this includes the decision for setting up new projects, fundraising, staff matters, contracts relating to the provision of our services and all policies and procedures. The trustees retain responsibility for agreeing large contracts and single expenditure (over £12,000), financial oversight, compliance with Company and Charity law, ratifying key policies and procedures, and maintaining a strategic overview of the activities and development of the charity. Trustee Recruitment and Induction Our aim is for our board of trustees to reflect the widest possible range of skills, not only business and financial expertise but life experience too. Trustee vacancies are advertised on the Splitz Support Services website with an application process similar to that of our volunteer scheme. A trustee induction procedure is in place and new trustees undergo a ½ day training and receive an induction pack containing a variety of documents and forms for their attention. Included in the pack is a copy of The Essential Trustee and the Directors and Secretaries Guide. As part of trustee development, and to meet expectations, we now ensure that all trustees participate in Safeguarding and Child Protection training and undergo a CRB disclosure. An induction presentation is available. The Chairman maintains a register of trustee induction. Auditors A resolution proposing that David Owen & Co be reappointed as auditors of the company will be put to the members. Signed by order of the trustees:

Annual Review 2010 - 2011
Report of the independent auditors to the trustees of Splitz Support Service We have audited the financial statements of Splitz Support Service for the year ended 31 March 2011 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes. These accounts have been prepared under the accounting policies set out therein. The report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 43 of the Charities Act 1993 and regulations made under section 44 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity’s trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. Respective responsibilities of trustees and the auditors As described in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees’ (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company Law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and for being satisfied that the accounts show a true and fair view. The Trustees have elected for the accounts to be audited in accordance with the Companies Act 1993 rather than the Companies Act 2006. Accordingly we have been appointed as auditors under section 43 of the Charities Act 1993 and report in accordance with regulations made under section 44 of that Act. Our responsibility is to audit and express an opinion on the accounts in accordance with applicable law and International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Those standards require us to comply with the Auditing Practices Board’s Ethical Standards for Auditors. Basis of opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with international standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) issued by the Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts. It also includes and assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the trustees in the preparation of the accounts, and of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the charity’s circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed. We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall adequacy of the presentation of information in the accounts. Opinion In our opinion:the accounts give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2011, and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended; have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice: and the accounts have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
29
Splitz Support Service
Opinion on other matter prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion the information given in the Trustees’ Report for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts. Matters on which we are required to report by exception We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 1993 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - the information given in the Trustees’ Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the accounts; or - the charitable company has not kept adequate accounting records; or - the accounts are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Accounting policies
Basis of preparation of the accounts
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of
Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, issued in March 2005 and the Companies Act 2006. Where necessary the headings laid down in the Act have been adapted to meet the special activities of the Charity. The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below. Accounting convention The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention. The charity is entirely dependant on continuing grant aid and as a consequence the going concern basis is also dependant on the continuing grant aid. Incoming resources Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis deferred as described below. Except as described under the ‘Deferred income’ accounting policy all grants, including grants for the purchase of fixed assets, are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) in the year in which they are receivable. Investment income Bank interest is included in the income and expenditure account on a receivable basis. Deferred income In accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (March 2005) issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales, grants received in advance and specified by the donor as relating to specific accounting periods or alternatively which are subject to conditions which are still to be met, and which are outside the control of the charity or where it is uncertain whether the conditions can or will be met, are deferred on an accruals basis to the period to which they relate. Such deferrals are shown in the notes to the accounts and the sums involved are shown as creditors in the accounts. Recognition of liabilities Liabilities are recognised on the accruals basis in accordance with normal accounting principles, modified where necessary in accordance with the guidance given in the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting (March 2005) issued by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. Resources expended Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Costs of generating funds Comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income. Charitable expenditure Comprise 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. Governance costs Include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
33
Splitz Support Service
Allocation of costs within types of resources expended The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are:- All costs allocated between expenditure categories of the SOFA on the basis designed to reflect the use of the resources. - Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage as set out in the notes to the accounts. Unrealised and realised gains Realised gains and losses are included in the accounts on the date at which a contractual obligation is entered into. Unrealised gains and losses are computed by reference to the market value of the investments at the balance sheet date, compared to the brought forward cost or valuation, and gains and losses on similar categories of investment are netted off. Fixed assets and depreciation Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Fixture and fittings – 20% straight line Computer equipment – 3 years straight line

Winding up or dissolution of the charity
3.
Surplus for the financial year
If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

The support from Westlea Housing Association was incorrectly classed as restricted income in previous years and so has been transferred to unrestricted funds in the current year. THE CRISIS FUND is for the purpose of meeting the emergency needs of particular families. A grant specifically raised and administered on an individual basis. THE COOKERY PROJECT takes place at Newburn House giving residents an opportunity to learn new skills in relation to the culinary art, including nutrition, diet, menu planning and budgeting. It is funded by the William ‘Doc’ Couch Trust and Have a Heart. THE BUDDY SCHEME is a mentoring scheme for service users who no longer require structured support and is mainly staffed by volunteers. It is funded by Volunteering England through the Department of Health OFV Grant, The Southwest Foundation and The Community Foundation. THE VOLUNTARY PERPETRATOR PROGRAMME changed its name to TURNAROUND PROGRAMME during the course of the year. The programme works with the perpetrators of domestic violence with funding from the Henry Smith Charity, The LankellyChase Foundation and Wiltshire Council. KIDZPACE is for teenagers damaged through witnessing domestic violence and is funded by Comic Relief and the Colonel William Llewellen Palmer Educational Charity.
