Risk Management Policy
The Board of Trustees considered the principal risks to which the organisation is exposed and implemented policies to control these risks where deemed necessary, including rigorous financial controls and monitoring, budgetary controls and multiple signatory controls over payments. A review of the risks confronting the organisation is undertaken on a regular basis.
Objects
The objects of the Federation are to further the purposes of the WI movement in Cornwall.
The main purposes of the WI are to enable women to improve and develop conditions of rural life, to advance their education in citizenship, in local, national and international public questions, in music, drama and other cultural subjects and in all branches of agriculture, handicrafts, home economics, health and social welfare. It seeks to give women the opportunity of working together through the WI and of putting into practice those ideals for which it stands, i.e., truth, justice, tolerance and friendship.
Principal Objectives for the period ended 31 December 2022
- i. to offer a wide range of opportunities
ii. to further the purpose of the WI movement
iii. to continue to provide support to WIs within the Federation
Achievements and Performance
i. Education in citizenship, in local, national and international public questions, in music, drama and other cultural subjects and in all branches of agriculture, handicrafts, home economics, health and social welfare was promoted through events, competitions, day schools and classes organised by the Board of Trustees and by the following sub-committees appointed, supported and monitored by the Board of Trustees: Membership Support (WI Advisers); Activity and Leisure; Cookery and Craft (formerly Home Economics and Craft); Environment and Public Affairs; Exhibitions; and Floral Art and Gardening (to Nov 2022).
To foster good relations between sub-committee members, a training day is held every few years and sub-committees are encouraged to hold joint events where appropriate. All activities organised by or through the Board, its sub-committees and WIs provided opportunities for improving and developing conditions of rural life.
ii. Opportunities for working together permeated all activities. Friendship and social activities were provided through buffet/County lunches and travel).
Continued support to WIs was maintained by the Membership Support Sub-Committee through their planned training programme and responding to requests for help and advice from WIs; by Board of Trustee members (e.g., by attending special meetings, publishing County News, reaching out through social media and the Chair’s visits to WIs); and by the staff at Chy Noweth an Conteth (e.g., by dealing with telephone, mail and e-mail enquiries from WIs and members).
Future
Cornwall Federation of Women’s Institutes will continue its work in furthering the purposes of the WI movement in Cornwall and, to that end, will continue to plan a full programme of appropriate events.
WI Events 2022
This year was one of highs and lows. It marked the joyous beginning of a return to normal WI life after the pandemic. We saw members keen to join in our events and activities, and saw the return of the Royal Cornwall Show after a two-year break. Members were all very much focused on
1
celebrations marking HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee in June and then, sadly, members joined the rest of the nation in mourning her death just three months later.
We kicked off 2022 with a magnifique French-themed buffet lunch, held at Chy Noweth an Conteth. With a full house of members, we offered a mouth-watering array of French favourites, and then entertained our guests with a mime performance by Brett Jackson of Swamp Circus. Also in January, was the first of our Family History days, in which members learned about all the available resources to help them study their family trees. A follow-up session was held in March, so that members could share their progress.
In April, we held an Easter Buffet Lunch at Chy Noweth an Conteth; another full house. Later that month, we held three Resolutions Road Shows, in place of our customary Spring Countdown at the Hall for Cornwall. Members met in smaller groups at Chy Noweth an Conteth, at Connor Downs WI Hall and at Millennium House in Pensilva to discuss the 2022 NFWI resolution: Women and Girls with ASD & ADHD: UnderIdentified, Under-Diagnosed, Misdiagnosed, Under-Supported. These Roadshows were a combined effort of the Board of Trustees, the Membership Support Sub-Committee and the Environment and Public Affairs Sub-Committee. I am grateful to Mary Lindsey, member of our Environment and Public Affairs Sub-Committee, who spoke so eloquently about the resolution at all three events.
In May, we held a Speakers’ Auditions Day, always a popular event. Members heard brief talks from a variety of speakers, and then provided written reviews of those speakers to determine whether or not they’d be included in our CFWI Speakers’ Directory.
June was, quite literally, a banner month for CFWI. WIs from the length and breadth of Cornwall joined in a banner parade in Truro to mark HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee. The sight of so many WI banners was truly a wonderful spectacle. The event held in the hot summer sun generated a great deal of press coverage, and we were all honoured to have been a part of it.
After a break of two years due to the Covid pandemic, the Royal Cornwall Show returned in June and the WI was there in force. Our hard-working Exhibitions Team put in their usual huge amount of work leading up to and throughout the Show. The Royal Cornwall Show Cup Competition was organised this year by our Floral Art and Gardening Sub-Committee and, although entries were down compared with pre-Covid years, we were still so pleased with the WIs who managed to put together creative and appealing entries. Despite increasing costs of having a presence at the Royal Cornwall Show, we managed to nearly break even thanks to a large Federation raffle which proved very successful. As always, the WI marquee was full of happy Show-goers for all three days of the Show.
July was another busy month for the Trustees, beginning with our Federation Platinum Jubilee Garden Party at the picturesque and lovely Tregrehan Garden. Sub-committees and WIs were invited to have stalls, and we were entertained by Bodmin Silver Band and by Cornish Connection, a barbershop chorus. Members participated in a crown parade with the winner receiving a bottle of Pimms. Attendance was slightly down, but all who attended had a splendid time.
Later in July, we were at Stithians Show in our WI marquee, talking to visitors and drumming up support for the WI. Several of our subcommittees had stalls and it was a successful day.
Also in July, we had a small WI presence at the Lostwithiel Show and the Launceston Show, both of which returned for the first time in 2022 after a break due to the Covid pandemic.
We capped off July as the Trustees were invited to help at the Lord Lieutenant’s Platinum Jubilee Garden party, held at Boconnoc House in Lostwithiel. Along with a brilliant team of WI Helpers, we served food and refreshments to all of the invited guests, including Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall (as they were then). It was incredibly hard work in sweltering heat, but there was a distinct buzz of excitement in the air, and we felt privileged to have been involved in such a momentous event.
Before our traditional August break from WI work, the Trustees and Chy Noweth an Conteth office staff had a day out at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, to enjoy each other’s company and escape from WI business for a day of relaxation and fun.
Refreshed and ready to take on the world again in September, we held two outings for members. One a boat trip up the River Dart, and the other a tour of Prideaux Place in Padstow. The River Dart trip saw members travel by coach to Dartmouth, where they scattered for shopping and lunch, meeting up again for a guided river tour before heading back home to Cornwall. Members attending the Prideaux Place tour were guided through the house before watching the deer being fed by Prideaux’s deer keeper. Both of these outings were completely full, and additional
Prideaux Place tours will be held in 2023 for those who were unlucky in booking a place.
In late September, a casual coffee morning was held for Trustees and Sub-Committee Chairmen to discuss ways to work together better and to provide the best and most successful events for our members.
September, of course, brought the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II, a beloved monarch and also a long-standing member of the WI. A Book of Condolence was provided and was in place at Chy Noweth an Conteth for all members to sign. It was later sent on to King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.
October brought another outing for members, this time a shopping trip to Clarks Village in Somerset. A coach full of WI members travelled in style and took part in some enjoyable retail therapy.
Later in October, we returned to the newly-refurbished Hall for Cornwall for our Annual Council Meeting. We welcomed NFWI Chair Ann Jones, food historian and writer Dr Annie Gray and the ever-popular Cornwall Rock Choir. We also invited WI members onto the stage to share with the audience their memories of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Members had an enjoyable day and were all effusive in their feedback. The Board of Trustees for 2022-23 was announced at the Annual Council Meeting.
In November, CFWI Chair Helen Kestle and Vice Chair Jane Dover laid a wreath at the War Memorial on Boscawen Street in Truro on behalf of all our members, as part of the Remembrance Sunday Ceremony and Parade.
In late November, we were back at the Royal Cornwall Showgrounds, this time at the Cornish Winter Fair, held this year as a two-day event for the first time. WIs entered the group competition on a theme of ‘Fire and Ice’ and also entered individual craft and cookery classes.
We began to mark Christmas in earnest early in December with our annual Christmas Carol Service, this year held at King Charles the Martyr Parish Church in Falmouth. With a range of reading and music, members left the church with the spirit of Christmas in their hearts.
This was followed by two Christmas County Lunches, one held at Hannafore Point in Looe and the other at the Royal Duchy Hotel in Falmouth. Both were well-supported and members enjoyed convivial afternoons of great conversation and delicious food. Not to mention Christmas crackers!
And so a busy Federation year drew to a close. As mentioned earlier, it was a year of highs and lows, and I am, as ever, grateful for the support of my fellow Trustees as we navigated some tricky times together. I also thank everyone who worked so hard to arrange the events we held throughout the year, and give special thanks to all those members who supported our events and who, I hope, will continue to do so.
You will read of many other events listed under the various SubCommittee entries that follow.

Acknowledgements :
Please join me in sending my best wishes to Sue Martin, who retired in December 2022 after 12 years of dedicated service to the Cornwall Federation of WIs. In her capacity as Accounts Administrator, Sue has been conscientious, diligent and supportive. There isn’t much about the WI that Sue doesn’t know, and she will be missed by all, not only for her knowledge and expertise, but also for her friendly and welcoming manner.
I would, however, like to welcome three new members of staff who joined us this year and who are already proving to be invaluable additions to the
2
team: Julia Pascoe, Federation Secretary; and Lesley Wyatt, Receptionist, who both began in June; and Toba Dadd, Accounts Administrator, who joined us in November.
I would also like to give thanks to former Federation Secretary Barbara Peters who returned on a part-time basis to assist with training our new Federation Secretary.
I also acknowledge and thank the following for their voluntary work on behalf of the Cornwall Federation:
All sub-committee members and their Advisers
County News Editor: Wendy Fiander Assistant County News Editor: Helen Kestle Media Officer: Helen Kestle Assistant Media Officer: Sheila Goldsworthy Press Competition Organiser: Jane Dover Travel: Penny Picton Year Book Editor: Liz Anderson Assistant Year Book Editors: Jane Dover and Helen Kestle Health and Safety Officer: Liz Baker Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Representative: Helen Kestle Bulb Scheme Organiser: Grace Bradford IFE Administrator: Jane Mills Pooling of Fares Organiser: Jane Mills Resolutions Coordinator: Pat Paxton MCS Representative: Liz Anderson 200+ Club Organiser: Helen Kestle Archivist: Judith Williams Royal Cornwall Show Co-ordinator: Pam Selley Stithians Show Co-ordinators: Helen Kestle, Pam Selley
My thanks too to all members who have represented CFWI in dealing with other organisations. The Board of Trustees thanks you most sincerely for your time and commitment.
The Sub-Committee reports, as you will read, show a great diversity of activities offered to our members through workshops and events throughout the past year.
Chy Noweth an Conteth continues to be well-used by our sub-committees for their activities and also by outside organisations who make use of our conference room and kitchen, which raises extra funds and helps to maintain the car park. Very grateful thanks go to our hard-working staff who support all our members but most particularly the members of the Board of Trustees, and to Gareth Williams who continues to give his time and support to our Accounts Administrator.
Finally, I would like to thank all members of the Board of Trustees for their friendship and their support to me and to the Cornwall Federation of WIs throughout the past year.

Treasurer’s Statement
(For the period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022)
Reserves Policy
The Federation aims to maintain sufficient unrestricted reserves to cover possible future deficits which may occur due to fluctuations within activities.
As at 31 December 2022, unrestricted reserves stood at £325,926.
Investment Policy
Under the memorandum and articles of association, the company had the power to make any investments which the trustees/investors see fit.
Risk Management.
The Trustees/directors have considered the risks to which the company may be exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risk.
Financial Review
At the start of 2022, CFWI was still unable to hold as full a program of events as we would like, due to the on-going Covid restrictions limiting numbers who could attend indoor events, and the requirement for people to test negative to Covid before attending meant that there were a number of last minute cancellations, and thus we had to give full refunds to those concerned.
Trustees were once again meeting face to face, although we continued to have last minute absences due to positive Covid tests.
The financial outcome for the year 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 is a deficit of £19,679, which is in part due to government financial support for furlough no longer being available, and the addition of new staff as
events and the office become busier. In addition, we experienced an increase in travel costs due to more meetings being held face to face. Trustees and staff continue to work hard to keep the losses as low as possible, however overheads have increased due to the rise in the cost of living generally.
Income
In every area, income has increased and Trustee events raised £3,556; we are grateful to the members who supported these events. Subcommittee events were also well supported and their income was much greater this year than in the previous year. Donations were significantly up in 2022 after the appeal made at the Annual Council Meeting, we received £7,977 from members, for which we are truly grateful. Income from events was significantly increased as restrictions were lifted and more events were able to run. The 200+ Club income has also risen again; the cost of entry is £10 per year, and entitles members to entry into 10 draws during the 12 months.
Total net income for the year: £52,591.
Expenditure
Chy Noweth an Conteth continues to age, and maintenance has to be done to keep it in good shape; the building needs to be looked after. During the year we engaged the services of the Community Payback scheme to help with the labour costs of cleaning the outside of the premises, painting the railings and treating the decking. This scheme provides a supervised team of people who are required to participate in community service after committing petty crimes. They come from all walks of life with a multitude of life skills, so this has meant we could carry out much needed repairs for just the cost of materials.
Total net expenditure for the year: £72,270
The balance sheet shows that, despite the ongoing challenges we face, the Federation intends and is able to meet its liabilities.

This sub-committee comprises all WI Advisers, trained by NFWI, members in training and a few helpers. Training is carried out within the Federation initially, with those in training being encouraged to attend as many meetings and events as possible with WI Advisers. Further training is then carried out by NFWI. Since April 2020 owing to the pandemic, much of NFWI training has been online and will be blended learning for the foreseeable future. Once trained, all WI Advisers are required to attend a refresher course/Forum every five years.
WI Advisers aim to visit a WI Annual Meeting every three years, are responsible for forming new WIs, promoting the WI, informing and encouraging WIs, keeping the Federation informed of WI activities and opinions, researching areas for new WIs, planning and running training sessions for WI members, enlarging WIs and suspending WIs. We try to make sure that members know all that is available to them and to help them to get value for their subscription. We travel extensively around the county doing our best to promote the WI at all times. WI Advisers are continually looking for opportunities to open new WIs. Ideas or suggestions are always most welcome.

It has been a successful year for the sub-committee.
In both February and November, we held our two popular annual quizzes, always proving to be successful, oversubscribed and enjoyable. Apart from the quiz itself, an afternoon tea is always a highlight of the afternoon.
In August, David Chapman kindly offered a Sunset Photography workshop at Wheal Coates. The postponed Helford River walk eventually took place in May, followed by a second walk, with enough interest to offer a further walk in September.
A new event, Nordic Walking, was offered to members and although numbers had to be limited, three members decided to complete the full course and are now fully fledged members of Nordic Walking UK.
Our final event for the year was ‘Singing for Fun’ which attracted a group of 29 members. It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon when the participants learnt how to stand and breathe correctly, culminating in learning simple acapella harmonies.
Not all of these events would have been possible without the valued help of the sub-committee. We are a friendly, hardworking group who are always willing to provide the best for the Federation.
Cookery and Craft (previously known as Home Economics and Craft)
Chair: Pat Mallett Vice Chair and Board Liaison: Margaret Johnson Secretary: Alison Willis Appointed Members: Alison Gribble, Dot Rogers, Ann Haverley, Jan Adkins
Number of sub-committee meetings 5
Early in 2022 a proposal was put to the Board of Trustees that the name of the sub-committee should be changed to Cookery and Craft to better reflect its activities. This was agreed.
The sub-committee remains small as two members resigned for personal reasons. Fortunately, two new members joined during the year and have brought new ideas to the committee.
The early part of the year, as activities gradually got back to normal following the worst of the Covid pandemic, was relatively quiet in terms of events. One of the three planned Craft Taster days had to be cancelled due to lack of response from members and the two that went ahead had fewer numbers than before. Further craft days were held in November, with again, one cancellation and fewer numbers on the remaining two days.
Two separate days for a Mixed Media Stitched Picture workshop, and a workshop decorating a Chocolate Yule Log were held.
An extra sub-committee meeting took place to plan our contribution to the Royal Cornwall Show in 2023.
The committee was asked to look at the CFWI banner with a view to either repairing or redesigning it for future use. Work on this is ongoing.

Number of sub-committee meetings: 4
The committee held its February meeting as a Zoom meeting which was successful.
The year has seen a much-welcomed return to activity with face-to-face meetings and events being held.
The sub-committee reviewed its Terms of Reference this year to reflect more accurately its remit: “Environmental affairs including climate change, conservation, pollution, heritage, agriculture, fisheries and food, water and sewage. To keep a watching brief on health and wellbeing, housing, local government, planning and transport issues.”
The sub-committee is working hard to ensure that it has as broad a breadth as possible and thank the hard work of The Climate Ambassadors (see their separate report).
We raised the campaigning work of the WI at a local and national level ensuring materials on current and past campaigns have been present at the Royal Cornwall Show, Stithian’s Show , the Annual Council Meeting and the Chair’s Coffee Morning, engaging with members and the public.
The sub-committee worked with the Board of Trustees and Membership Sub-Committee to organise three Resolution Roadshows on the 2022 Resolution on “the underdiagnosis and misdiagnosis of ADHD and Autism in women and girls” with our own member Mary Lindsey as the speaker at all three. The Roadshows aimed to help provide information not just for our delegates to National Annual Meeting, but to members as well, providing a base for WIs to take the campaign forward and raise the issues within their own areas over the next year. The Baker Cup and the Blaikley Salver Poetry competition were held and the winning entries displayed and read out at the Annual Council Meeting.
Two very successful events were held. Firstly, “Wildlife in your Garden” in partnership with Cornwall RSPB, Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Cornwall County Council Parks division. Secondly “Take a Town – Hayle”, which was so popular that two successive dates were run. Unfortunately, a four corner day had to be cancelled due to lack of support which has prompted some discussion about the type of events that members are wishing to support or whether this a lingering impact from the lockdowns. This will be an ongoing discussion to ensure that we remain relevant
Work continued with the Eden Project on the Big Lunch and the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in June.

Number of sub-committee meetings 3
We thank Jackie Holland and Sandy Adcock for their help.
Standard Events: Royal Cornwall Show, Stithians Show, Annual Council Meeting, Federation Garden Party.
Our role within the Federation is to organise, arrange transport and set up for events where CFWI has a presence.
We started planning for the RCS at our March meeting. Although there were fewer than usual competition entries, it was a good show. We welcomed team member Heather Alford who volunteered to help our team.
The Garden Party in July was a most enjoyable day, sadly not well supported by WI members. At Stithians Show we only have a presence hoping to attract new WI members.
The Annual Council Meeting returned to the Hall for Cornwall in October, for the second time since it re-opened. We had a different set up as advised by their staff.
Once again an appeal for new team members was advertised in County News, alas, there was no response. At the Annual Council Meeting, our Chairman Fran Winsor had a two minute spot to publicise the work we do and appeal for new members, repeating it a few days later on Radio Cornwall.
We are a small team who get on well and have a great time in all that we do.
Floral Art and Gardening
Chair: Abigail Kirby-Harris (to Nov 2022) Vice-Chair and Board Liaison : Grace Bradford Secretary: Felicity Penneycard (to Nov 2022)
Appointed Members : Sue Clift, Teresa Hancock, Jean Morton-Hughes, Mandy Nicholson, Avril Woolcock.
Advisers: Edna Trudgeon, Trevor Wiltshire
Number of sub-committee meetings: 4
We were pleased to be involved with the Royal Cornwall Show once again. It was a pleasure to see so many members attending and the only
4
disappointment was in the low number of entries in the various competitions. This was understandable, coming hard on the heels of the celebration weekend for the Platinum Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II. WI members were also finding their confidence after the pandemic.
We were able to hold two events. Back to Basics was a flower arranging day with Angela Hyland to help members to create arrangements without the use of floral foam. An all-day workshop was held at St Dominick’s Church led by Mandy Nicholson. Unfortunately, other planned events had insufficient numbers to go ahead.
At the November sub-committee meeting an impasse was reached regarding the election of officers. Therefore it was decided to put the subcommittee into abeyance for the time being. Discussions at Board level and with keen members will take place to see how we can create a viable sub-committee for the future.
Other Reports
Climate Ambassadors
Climate Ambassadors: Fiona Hughes, Mary Lindsey, Pippa Stilwell, Kim Sudell, Jude Wood
Cornwall Climate Ambassadors were delighted to appear on the front cover of the April issue of WI Life, holding the ‘We can all make a difference’ banner. The whole edition was devoted to the NFWI climate campaign, including an article by about our work as Climate Ambassadors in Cornwall.
This year Cornwall Climate Ambassadors have given talks to Carn Brea WI, Falmouth WI, Halsetown WI, Pendeen WI, Pengegon WI, Perranarworthall WI and Porthleven WI. We continue to contribute regular articles to County News and to our parish magazines. We have now collated these articles into a booklet, and have applied for a lottery bid to cover printing costs.
We have a presence at all the major agricultural shows in the County, as well as important events in the CFWI calendar.
We engage regularly with our MPs, in particular with Cherilyn Mackrory (Truro and Falmouth) and Derek Thomas MP (St Ives). In partnership with Derek Thomas, we hold a monthly Zoom meeting with both local and national speakers, that give local people the opportunity to discuss a wide range of climate related issues.
Craftivism is a key part of our activities. Mary Lindsey hosts regular craftivism workshops in her home: We have contributed bee embroideries to Victoria Harrison’s bee textile.
Organisers’ Reports
County News
Editor: Wendy Fiander
During this year, we continued to publish eight 8-page newsletters and two 12-page newsletters (July/August and December/January) per year.
Lance Print publishers have continued to format and print the publication to a high standard. During 2022, each copy was charged at a cost of 34p. As of 31 December 2022, we ordered 3200 copies (and 7 large print copies) of each issue of County News from Lance Print during the months we used their services.
As always, throughout the year, we endeavoured to feature photographs of CFWI members on the cover of County News whenever possible. We always appreciate members submitting photographs from their own WI events and activities.
Events occurring in our Federation form the bulk of information given to members, along with advice for committees and updates from the CFWI office. National Federation matters and items of other interest to members have also featured on a regular basis. Members have continued to send photographs and details of events happening in their own WIs throughout
the year and this continues to be a popular regular section in the newsletter.
This year has been my first as Editor of County News. I am very grateful for the support given me by the Trustees and office staff as I’ve taken on this challenging position. I would also like to express thanks to the WIs who continue to send me their news and photos on a regular basis.

During 2022, social media continued to be a vital communications link for WI members throughout Cornwall. Since the Covid pandemic and our two years of on-again-off-again lockdown, members have come to realise more and more the value and importance of using social media to keep in touch with each other and with the wider WI world.
The CFWI website continues to be a useful tool for members. The site includes a ‘Who’s Who’ of CFWI Trustees and Sub-Committee members; photo galleries of Federation events; a calendar of upcoming events; information about Equality, Diversity and Inclusion; details of CFWI and NFWI competitions; and instructions for potential members to ‘Find a WI’. Also available on the website are application forms for CFWI events, the Speakers’ Directory, recent issues of County News, CFWI policies and forms that members may find helpful and documents to help members and committees run their WIs. In addition, there is an active blog on the website. This contains news from around the Federation and from NFWI, as well as other topics that are of interest to WI members. The blog includes an option whereby readers can subscribe, meaning that they receive an email alert whenever a new blog post has been posted. To date, there are 241 (up 46% from 31 December 2021) subscribers. We encourage members to comment on blog posts and to get involved in the discussion, though participation has not been as active as we’d have liked.
CFWI is represented on the NFWI website. The Web Editor maintains these pages, updating with newly formed or suspended WIs, but individual WIs within the Federation have the option to set up and maintain web pages for their own WI. Interest in this by individual WIs has been minimal.
The CFWI Facebook page continues to increase in popularity, with 827 followers, representing a 13% increase over the number of followers on 31 December 2021. The page enables CFWI to reach WI members immediately with pertinent information, last minute vacancies on CFWI events and news from NFWI. Information of interest from other local organisations has been included, and members have been enthusiastic in adding images and details about their own WIs’ activities to the page.
The CFWI Twitter and Instagram accounts have not been used to their full potential due to lack of time on the part of the Administrator.

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of The Cornwall County Federation of Women’s Institutes (Limited by Guarantee)
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2022 set out on pages 7 to 16.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your company’s financial statements as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the financial statements give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

2 Summary of significant accounting policies
2.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The Cornwall County Federation of Women’s Institutes meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note. The financial statements are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.
2.2 Statement of cash flows
Under Charities SORP (FRS 102), the charity is classed as a small charity and is exempt from the requirement to prepare a statement of cash flows on the grounds of its size.
2.3 Funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity 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 or which have been raised by the charity 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.
2.4 Income recognition
All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Donations are recognised by the charity on receipt. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102)

Notes
(forming part of the financial statements)
2.4 Income recognition (continued )
Where practicable, gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are included in stock and donations in the financial statements upon receipt. If it is impracticable to assess the fair value at receipt or if the costs to undertake such a valuation outweigh any benefits, then the fair value is recognised as a component of donations when it is distributed and an equivalent amount recognised as charitable expenditure.
Gifts in kind donated for resale are included at fair value, being the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale. Where estimating the fair value is practicable upon receipt it is recognised in stock and ‘Income from other trading activities’. Upon sale, the value of the stock is charged against ‘Income from other trading activities’ and the proceeds are recognised as ‘Income from other trading activities’. Where it is impracticable to fair value the items due to the volume of low value items they are not recognised in the financial statements until they are sold.
Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and are included at fair value. They are not deferred over the life of the asset.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Membership fees are credited to the statement of financial activities when they are receivable.
Grant income is recognised in the statement of financial activities when receivable unless the donor specifies that it must be used in future accounting periods, or imposes conditions to be met before entitlement is confirmed. Grant income is included in charitable activities when it is to provide funding support for performance activities.
Income from members’ activities is recognised as income in the year to which the event relates.
Income from trading activities includes income earned from sales, fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.
Investment income is earned through holding assets for investment purposes such as deposit accounts and it includes interest.
2.5 Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:
-
Expenditure on raising funds includes cost of sales;
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the items listed in note 6 to the financial statements; and
-
• Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose. The majority of costs are directly attributable to specific activities. Certain shared costs are apportioned to activities in furtherance of the purpose of the charity on the basis of estimated usage.

2.6 Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include governance costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with 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.
2.7 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold land Nil Freehold buildings 50 years Equipment 3-10 years
2.8 Investments
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with changes recognised in ‘net gains/(losses) on investments’ in the SoFA if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably.
2.9
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated net realisable value.
2.10 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
2.11 Tax
The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.
2.12 Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

The nature of each fund is generally evident from its name.
During a previous year, the trustees reviewed the number of small restricted funds and identified that many of them had a common restriction. It was therefore agreed to amalgamate them with the general Bursary Fund.
The Suspended WIs’ fund related to monies held for closed branches which under certain conditions can be released to general funds.
