Sheriffs' & Recorder's Fund

SHERIFFS’ & RECORDER’S FUND

Annual Report 2012–2013

This fund was brought into existence by the Sheriffs of the City of London in the year 1808

1 The Sheriffs’ and Recorder’s Fund

Founded in 1808 by the Sheriffs of the City of London, the Fund was established to help ex- offenders released from prison and to assist their dependants. In 1931 the Fund merged with The Recorder’s Fund, which had been established to assist offenders released on probation.

For over 200 years the Fund has been helping ex-offenders make a new start in life and has endeavoured to relieve hardship for the families of serving offenders by contributing to the basic support systems that underpin most people’s lives: a decent education, a job, a stable family and a home.

G Nearly half of all serving prisoners have no qualifications. G 42% of prisoners were expelled or permanently excluded from school. G 58% of women and 53% of men in prison identified unemployment and lack of skills as reasons contributing to their offending. G 45% of serving offenders lose contact with their families. G 30% of people released from prison have nowhere to live and many coming out only own the clothes they stand up in.

Operating from office accommodation generously provided by the City of London at the Old Bailey, the Fund provides assistance largely through the probation service by making timely grants to ex-offenders in Greater London, principally for clothing, education and training, tools of trade and household furniture and equipment.

In 2012-13 the Fund made:

G 1,193 grants: an increase of 2% compared to 2011-12

G grants amounting to £166,514: an increase of 11% compared to the previous year

It has achieved this through the continued generous support of the livery companies, other City of London institutions and individuals through a combination of direct donations and fund raising events.

EXTRACT FROM THE WILL OF MRS HELEN CHARLOTTE NORRIS DECEASED 10TH JANUARY 1950

5. I give all the rest of my property of every kind to the Public Trustee upon trust for sale to perpetuate the memory of my husband John Edward Norris who did so much for others. I wish to create a trust fund to be called The John Nelly Norris Fund to help rehabilitate and to restore the self respect of those coming under the notice of the probation offices at the Central Criminal Court, London EC, to help them to such an honest and better life, to restore their self respect, to help them place their trust in God and to follow the teachings of Christ, for no good can come otherwise. I would like those handling these my wishes to give a chance to those who have strayed to think on these things. I wish therefore everything to which I am possessed at my death to be sold by public auction to the highest bidder to create this Trust and the net proceeds of such sale to be invested to constitute a fund to be called The John Nelly Norris Fund and to pay the resulting income therefrom in perpetuity to The Recorder’s Fund at the Central Criminal Court London for the furtherance of the object of that Fund. It is my wish that paragraph 5 be read at each annual meeting of The Recorder’s Fund, a prayer for my husband and self, I beseech you.

12 THE SHERIFFS’ AND RECORDER’S FUND PRESIDENTS’ REPORT 2012-13 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2013

We are very pleased to report that 95% of expenses of the Fund in the financial year 2012-2013 were covered by investment income and that the Fund increased in value by 14%. The number of grants received last year reached 1,116, with an average grant of £125, compared with £124 for the previous year. The number of grants made increased by over 2% over this last financial year. During the past six years the Fund has increased the number of grants it gives by nearly 50%, which we think is a considerable achievement made possible only by our generous supporters who are listed between pages 7 and 10 of this Annual Report.

This was also a year in which we were able to support some special projects, an action made possible by the very significant legacy left to us by the late Her Hon. Ann Goddard, QC. Our Advisory Council has decided that it would be a more suitable memorial to her to use the money for specific projects rather than just adding it to our general grant-making funds.

However, these grants to individuals do, of course, remain the first and most important call on our money. During this year there was an increase in the clothing and furnishings categories, but a reduction in training courses. This is not new, but we are not really clear why it happens. We know our supporters are particularly keen on training grants and we do our best to provide them. An evaluation which is expected to get underway in 2013 may help us to understand better why welfare grants are so much the most in demand. There is a pie chart on page 6 which shows the breakdown of spending, as well as a list of the training courses provided. Our statistics also show that probation officers and other social workers from all over Greater London, from Croydon to Islington, Lewisham to Kingston, send in applications, so we know that our geographical reach is considerable.

Turning to the special projects, we were proud to fund a pilot for Pret-A-Manger, which has an apprentice programme for vulnerable young men and women, many of whom have personal issues which can cause problems when working with others. Pret’s managers are not trained as counsellors and we were pleased to fund the pilot scheme to introduce a regular counselling scheme for these apprentices, training which will help them work in a team and resolve personal problems such as anger management. The pilot was such a success at keeping some challenging young people on board that it is now a regular part of the apprentice scheme. Bounce Back is a young, small charity which trains ex-offenders in painting and decorating. At the end of their training the charity wanted to give its graduates a painting and decorating kit with which to start out on their own solo careers. We have paid for twenty of these kits (and, if you need any decorating done in South London, give them a call!). The Buttle Trust is a significant funder of young people nationwide; we have joined them for two years to help increase the number of young men and women from London whose backgrounds include contact with the criminal justice system. The aim is to help them avoid getting into trouble with the law through education. The Advisory Council believes all these projects would have pleased Ann Goddard.

Every year the Fund and the Presidents organize some fundraising events to supplement the enormously generous support we get from the Livery, individuals and trusts. In May 2012 the Presidents, Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Alan Yarrow and Sheriff Wendy Mead, with their consorts, supported us with a very successful event here at the Old Bailey – Ballet and Bubbly at the Bailey, followed by a splendid reception in the Great Hall. In February 2013 the current Presidents welcomed a large and enthusiastic crowd to St. Vedast alias Foster (where Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Jeffrey Evans and The Hon. Mrs. Evans are parishioners) for an evening of words and music celebrating the City. The church looked wonderful, the performers were spectacular and the atmosphere was fantastic. Our annual debate at St. Mary le Bow went very well and, for the first time, we had a collection, shared with the church.

13 We upgraded and improved our website last year and we are going to try and use it better; not least by putting more and better information about the Fund on it. We do hope you will find it useful. To coincide with the publication of this Annual Report, we are putting some graphics on the site which give some very interesting comparative information which we cannot fit in the hard copy report. Our warm thanks to the people at Newby Crouch who initiated and designed these useful graphics. http://www.srfund.org.uk

The Fund was very sorry to see the retirement of His Honour Judge Peter Beaumont, QC, The Recorder of London. He was a devoted Vice-President and passionate promoter of the Fund over many years. We will miss him and wish him and his wife, Mrs. Annie Beaumont, very well in a long and happy retirement; and, of course, we extend a warm welcome to his successor, our new Vice-President, The Recorder of London His Honour Judge Brian Barker, QC.

On behalf of the Fund’s beneficiaries, we wish to thank all our supporters, from within the Livery and the City of London, without whose loyal and generous support the Fund would not exist. We would like to thank the runners in the Royal Parks Half Marathon who raised over £2,000 on our behalf. We thank the staff at the Old Bailey for their kindness to us and their efficiency and we particularly thank The Secondary, Mr. Charles Henty, who once again gave of his time, and more importantly his free time, showing dozens of groups round the building out of hours when the courts were not sitting. He raised nearly £8,000 in this way.

Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Jeffrey Evans Sheriff Nigel Pullman

14 REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

Objects of the Fund The Fund is a registered charity (No. 221927) constituted under a trust deed dated 17 February 1981 as amended on 21 June 1994 and 30 June 1998. The rules of the Fund are included in this Annual Report.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Fund and for keeping proper accounting records in order to determine the financial position of the Fund at any given time. The Finance Committee, which has responsibility, delegated to it by the Trustees, meets quarterly to consider, inter alia, the financial position of the Fund.

Reserve policy The Fund has a permanent endowment of £8,470, restricted funds of £7,500 and all other reserves are unrestricted for use in accordance with the charitable objects of the Fund. It is the aim of the Fund to maintain sufficient reserves such that the investment returns substantially cover the costs of administering the Fund, so that all donations received can be applied directly to beneficiaries of the Fund.

Summarised accounts The summarised accounts included in this Annual Report are a summary of information extracted from the annual accounts of the Fund for the year ended 31 March 2013 and certain information relating to both the statement of financial activities and the balance sheet.

Independent auditor’s report The full annual accounts for the year ended 31 March 2013 have been subject to external examination by the Fund’s independent auditors, Newby Crouch, Chartered Accountants, who have issued an unqualified audit opinion on those accounts. The audit report is not reproduced in full in these summarised accounts, but the opinion contained with the full report of the auditors stated that:

“In our opinion the financial statements:

G give a true and fair view in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, of the state of the charity’s affairs as at 31st March 2013, and of its incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended; and

G have been properly prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.

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 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

G the information given in the Trustees Annual Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or

G sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

G the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

G we have not received all the information and explanations we require for the audit.”

Signed on behalf of the Trustees

Lady Davies Chairman

15 REPORT OF THE HONORARY TREASURER

The Fund recorded a surplus of £23,272 in the year ended 31 March 2013 (2012 - £175,450 surplus) after taking into account exceptional income of £17,197 (2012 - £177,600), but before taking into account investment gains.

Charitable Activities

During the year the Fund made 1,193 grants amounting to £166,514 (2012 - £150,671), representing an 11% increase in the total value of grants made. The majority of grants were for household goods and clothing.

Income from donations of £139,307 was 2% higher than last year (2012 - £136,201). In addition, the Fund benefitted from a legacy of £17,197 (2012 - £177,600) from the estate of Her Honour Ann Goddard QC, a former member of the Fund’s Advisory Council. A further £35,587 net of costs was raised from various fund raising events (2012 - £22,053). Administrative and governance costs increased to £39,769 (2012 - £37,811) due largely to the increased size and level of activity of the Fund.

Investments and Capital Reserves

Investment income which amounted to £42,574 (2012 - £32,491), representing a yield of approximately 3.7%, now covers 95% (2012 – 86%) of the Fund’s running costs. The value of the Fund’s investment portfolio increased by 15% during the year to £1,307,793 (2012 - £1,142,108) after taking into account net investment gains during the year of £157,105 (2012 - £4,932). This increase was principally due to capital growth achieved on the back of stronger global equity markets over the last year. The portfolio outperformed the benchmark indices which we measure performance against with a total return of nearly 18% achieved over the year.

This leaves the Fund well positioned to meet the ever increasing demands being placed on it.

16 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S STATEMENT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE SHERIFFS’ & RECORDER’S FUND

We have examined the summarised financial statements of The Sheriffs & Recorders Fund for the year ended 31 March 2013 included in the Annual Report.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and auditors

The trustees are responsible for preparing the summarised financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and the recommendations of the charities SORP. Our responsibility is to report to you our opinion on the consistency of the summarised financial statements with the full financial statements and Trustees’ Annual Report. We also read the other information contained in the summarised annual report and consider the implications for our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the summarised financial statements.

We conducted our work in accordance with Bulletin 2008/3 “The auditors’ statement on the summary financial statement” issued by the Auditing Practices Board.
