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

___________________________________ _____________________________________________ 

The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the charity the year ended 31 March 2021. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the constitution adopted on 18 June 1991 and the Charities SORP (FRS102). 

## **Legal Status** 

The Charity is unincorporated and is registered with the Charities Commission under charity number 1003569. 

## **Method of appointment of Trustees** 

The appointment of trustees is as set out in our constitution. Policies and procedures adopted for the recruitment of trustees is also detailed in the Charities Governing document. Induction is undertaken by the existing members and the Project co-ordinator and training is undertaken as identified. 

## **Objectives** 

The charity is constituted to address the issues of social, economic and political inclusion and social cohesion in a multi-racial context. First Step seeks to ensure that all migrant women living in Newcastle’s West End have accessible opportunities to transform their lives and achieve their goals, and seeks to share its model more widely in Newcastle and across the North East. 

## **Mission statement** 

First Step engages, nurtures and supports migrant women of all nationalities in Newcastle’s West End, enabling the achievement of personal development objectives. 

## **Vision statement** 

First Step seeks to ensure that all migrant women living in Newcastle’s West End have accessible opportunities to transform their lives and achieve their goals, and seeks to share its model more widely in Newcastle and across the North East. 

As for many others this year has been very torrid extreme firefighting meeting many additional demands – old and new. To some extent this was mitigated by already being a close community group. We moved quickly to online using social media/zoom. As the initial lockdown eased, we moved to blended learning socially distanced in safe spaces especially for those women who were digitally excluded. We managed to remain in close weekly contact via zoom with 78 women (21 new), trained 8 new volunteers making 20 in total, connected to 200+ on social media. In addition, we ran two creative projects ‘Women in Lockdown’ written witness and Inside Out’ pictorial witness used to publish two 16 page translated News Mags. delivered to 400 local homes in our efforts to reach the most isolated women. We are very grateful that funding providers moved very quickly to enable access to both capital and revenue funding designed to keep the voluntary sector afloat and improve resilience it worked very well for us! In addition, we would like to acknowledge the fabulous contribution made by our volunteers, locally, nationally, and internationally, ex First Steppers who zoomed in from across the world to offer their support. We were often moved to tears by their love and friendship. 

Many of the women who use First Step have multiple and complex needs which existed pre pandemic but have been exacerbated and brought into sharp focus, particularly emotional wellbeing, and mental health and which is now presenting as a shadow pandemic - Northern Health Science Alliance Impact of Pandemic on the Region Sept. 2021 – ‘the North had the largest drop in mental health wellbeing and the greatest rise in anti-depressant prescriptions.’ This will be our focus going forward. 

In their own words: 

- ‘It’s a different world, dealing with all the emotions. Sometimes I feel I’m a stranger and sometimes I need someone I know beside me.’ Z

- ‘Being isolated makes me mentally poorer’ V 

- ’It doesn’t make me feel lonely in my home, it keeps me in touch with people I can trust’ H (referring to First Step online activities during the past 15 months) 

## **Financial review** 

In the current period the net outgoing resources have increased from net outgoing resources of £22,328 in 2020 to net incoming resources of £13,833 in 2021. Overall net assets have increased from £313,817 in 2020 to £327,660 in 2021. 

The aim of the charity is to at least be at break-even point at end of year. We aim to do this by constantly reviewing our outgoings. Where costs can potentially be saved which will further improve the financial position of the charity we will aim to do so whilst balancing the needs of our core services. 

## **Unrestricted Reserves Policy** 

There are no easy answers to the issue of sustainability in the current economic climate. The strengths of First Step and the aspirations that the organisation needs to protect, require financial support for effective delivery to be maintained. We will continue to be predominantly dependent on grant or project income achieved through funding applications and philanthropy. The Management Committee recognises the risk that not being able to attract sufficient funding poses and have established an unrestricted account that will be used to maintain a reserve of £25,000 to be utilised to cover unforeseen expenditure. 

We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to First Step’s success this year and look forward to their continuing support in the future. 

## **Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed 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 and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity or that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

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 Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They 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.

**FIRST STEP NORTH EAST** 

**NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

___________________________________________________________________________ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **General Information** 

The charity is an unincorporated organisation registered under Charity Number 1003569. The address of the charity is 435 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE4 8RN. 

## **Statement of Compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Ireland (FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity. 

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. 

## **Going Concern** 

The financial viability of the charity is dependent upon the ability to secure the forecast levels of incoming resources. 

The trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and other financial risks affecting the charity for the period of one year after the signing of these financial statements, and, based on known levels of funding and reasonable assumptions of future funding are confident that there is sufficient funding to more than cover salaries and general running costs. 

On this basis, the charity’s trustees believe it is appropriate for the charity’s financial statements to be prepared on the going concern basis. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

All incoming resources are included within the Statement of financial activities when the charitable company is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Gifts in kind donated for distribution are included at valuation and recognised as income when they are distributed to the projects. Gifts donated for resale are included as income when they are sold. Donated facilities are included at the value to the charitable company where this can be quantified and a third party is bearing the cost. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers. 

Donated services or facilities which comprise donated services, are included in income at a valuation which is an estimate of the financial cost borne by the donor where such a cost is quantifiable and measurable. No income is recognised where there is no financial cost borne by a third party. 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of donation.

**NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** 

___________________________________________________________________________ 

## **1 Accounting policies (continued)** 

## **Resources Expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributable to particular activities, they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of the resources. 

Fundraising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in support of the charitable activities. Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charitable company. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charitable company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been raised by the charitable company for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. No assets are capitalised unless over £250. 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: 

Leasehold land and buildings – 2% per annum straight line Equipment – 15% per annum reducing balance and 33% straight line 

## **Loan** 

The loan from the Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne is for a period of 25 years after which time it will be written off subject to abiding by certain covenants and restrictions. The policy is to write off the loan over this period on a straight-line basis.

## **FIRST STEP NORTH EAST INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF I'IRST STEP NORTH EAST** 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 4 to 13. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
