Trustee induction and training
Trustees are given a stafflvolunteers handbook when they start as a Trustee. This contains an
overview of policies and where to find them. We are currently reviewing our Trustee recruitment,
retention and induction process.
Objectives and activities
The purposes of the charity are to promote for the benefit of primarily women of Bangladeshi heritage
in the city of Manchester, by associating the Local Authority, voluntary organisations and local
inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and provide facilities in the interests of social
welfare, for recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving the condition of life
with the particular attention for the said women.
The trustees confFrm that they have referred to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit
when reviewing the Charity's aims and objectives, in planning future activities, and setting the policies
for the year.
The charity furthers its charitable purposes for the public benefit through continuing to be a safe
welcoming and inclusive community centre that is culturally competent and provides meaningful
actfvlties, support, information and signposting particularly for disadvantaged women that are
victimslsurvivors of domestic abuse or mental ill health.
Review of Activities
In 2023124 we did this through providing our core activities and community development work. The
activttres we provide are chose through consultation wtth women who regularly attend the centre and
access services. We endeavour to offer classes/activities through continuous coproduction that
reflects the changing needs of the community
The following is a summary of key activities, which included-
Drop in information/signposting sessions, where we covered issues such as housing,
education, welfare rights, health, employment, benefits amongst others.
We provided learning and training opportunities to disadvantaged and vulnerable women
such as ESOL entry level 1 and 2, CV, IT and Employabrlity and Digital Literacy. The classes
are facilitated to encourage women who are not comfortable accessing mainstream classes to
attend.
We have provided peer support and social engagement activities, where we have hosted
weekly coffee mornings for women with ill mental health andlor those who are socially
isolated. We have provided weekly lunch club for over 50's and those suffering from enduring
mental health, long term health issues, carers and supdivorslvictims of domestic abuse. We
also provided yoga, swimming, gardening and wellbeing sessions. As part of the health and
wellbeing sessions, we have had workshops on menopause, cervical cancer, bowel cancer
and other issues that are more prevalent in the Bangladeshi community.
Our carer's group continued remotely via WhatsApp due to the caring responsibilities the
women have and they decided as a group to continue online. There are sporadic in real life
get togethers that are arranged by the group according to the groups availability.
We continued our partnerships with local organisations and delivered creative sessions,
health workshops, information and awareness and also statutory organisations, health bodies
and educational institutions have approached us to gauge information to influence polrcy
change and addressing important issues.
Our community development work included-
Providing one to one practical and emotional support and advocacy for women who suffer
from enduring mental health issues,
Providing outreach to marginaltsed, housebound women, who may be not be engaging in
mainstream services as they are not culturally appropriate, to prevent crisis and to provide
some initial appropriate crisis support.

MANCHESTER BANGLADESHI WOMEN'S PROJECT
Working in partnership with local organisations to deliver services, with a common objective to
alleviate social issues, such as housing, domestic abuse, social isolation and health
inequalities.
Continuing to participate and work with statutory/public sector organisations to engage in
relevant health/social research projects, such as:
We have been working with CHEM (Community Health Equity Manchester) NHS, Public
Health to consult on how our community is affected by health inequalities, what the barriers
are to the Bangladeshi community in accessing the appropriate health services and what
improvements can be made to ensure everyone is afforded health equality.
We have continued with our NHLF fund and Young Girls Group, where the girls have looked
at issues, of identity and heritage. The girls have attended workshops, sessions and trips to
cultural institutions.
Our mental health coffee morning, carers group and lunch club have continued and we
directly supported our community with bereavement, digital poverty, loss of income, social
isolation, stigma within the community and many other issues.
A review of our achievements and performance: How our activities delivered public benefit.
A summary of some of the outcomes during the year included-
Ananna supported almost 530 women this year, who are disadvantaged andlor vulnerable, to
improve their life outcomes through access to better informationladvocacy around housing,
welfare issues, employment, volunteering, education, health and trainFng As well as providing
access for social connection, through trips, celebrations, events and ensuring the centre is a
safe space for women to come and socialise and meet others.
Ananna improved the wellberng of almost 400 local women who partook in health sessions,
soclal groups, and accessed one to one practical and emotional support through our mental
health project. This impacted them by improving social connectedness, reducing isolation and
enabling our users to learn new skills and access training to becoming more economically
Independent, in safe space that is encouraging and inclusive.
Through our volunteering programme and gaining experience through helping at the
organisation, three women have gone on to paid employment.
We currently have over 24 volunteers, including board members. They help facilitate weekly activities
and events during the year. This encourages women to take ownership of the organisation, whilst
improving their confidence and skills and giving them practical experience which may be beneficial
when applytng for jobs.
Financial review
Total income in the year was £208,714 and total expenditure £158,816 leaving a surplus of £49,898,
(2023 surplus £45,887) Restricted reserves at the year end totalled £174,232 of which £70,619 were
revenue reserves and the balance capital. The Trustees met throughout the year to look at any
potential fÉnancial risk, to develop (and continuously review) the strategy for fundraising as well as
mrtigating any risk from current funding streams comtng to an end.
Investment powers and policy
The trustees, having regard to the liquidity requirements of operating the charity, have kept available
funds in an interest bearing account.
Reserves policy and going concern
The balance held in unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2024 was £248,256 of which £235,483 are
free reserves, after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets, with £75,699 being designated.
The trustees aim to maintain free reserves in unrestricted funds at a level which equates to
approximately six months of charitable expenditure, currently £79,000. The trustees consider that this
level will provide sufficient funds to respond to applications for grants and ensure that support and
governance costs are covered. The Trustees consider, having regard to the budget for the next twelve
months, that the charity is a going concern.
st

MANCHESTER BANGLADESHI WOMEN'S PROJECT
Risk management
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems
have been established to mitigate those risks.
Plans for Future Periods
This year we have been continuing to work to transfer our charity's assets to a CIO. We have been
working with an external consultant who has expertise in governance with third sector organisations.
They are supporting us with developing long term sustainability.
Our focus for future plans are for us to start the building work which had been put on hold due to the
pandemic and issues around locating appropriate contractors that are willing to take on a project for a
building works on a charity. The next two years we will focus on allocating resources to refurbish the
building so that it is fit for purpose and execute this through meticulous planning and finding suitable
funding through our reserves, CHEM and fundraising.
We are also looking at developing a social enterprise, where we will upskill the women first on self
employability, branding, marketing and other skills.

accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation and assessment of going concern
The accounts (ftnancial statements} have been prepared under the historical cost convention with
items recognised at cost or transaction value unless othenvise stated in the relevant notes to these
accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of
Recommended PractÉce: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in
accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) January 2019 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United
Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The trustees consider that
there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
(b) Funds structure
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by
the donor or trust deed. There are 16 restricted funds at the year end.
Unrestricted income funds comprise those funds which the trustees are free to use for any purpose in
furtherance of the charitable objects. Unrestricted funds include designated funds where the trustees,
at their discretion have created a fund for a specific purpose.
Further details of each fund are disclosed in note 14.
(c) Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the
income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donatrons are recognised when the charity has been notrfied in writrng of both the amount and
settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance
before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until erther those
conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the
charity and it is probable that those conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured
refiably by the charity. this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
(d) Expenditure Recognition
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation
committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the
amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis, All expenses including support costs and
governance costs are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings. For more
information on this attribution refer to note (fj below.
(e) Irrecoverable VAT
Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.
(f) Allocation of support and governance costs
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance
costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and its complÉance with
regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to independent examinatron and legal
fees together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.
Governance costs and support costs relating to charitable activities have been apportioned based on
staff time and facilities used in each activity.
The allocation of support and governance GOStS Is analysed in note 7.
{g) Charitable Activities
Costs of charitable activities include governance costs and an apportionment of support costs as
shown in Note 6.
The charity made 61 grants to individuals to help with the cost of living crisis, Note 5.
(h) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

MANCHESTER BANGLADESHI WOMEN'S PROJECT
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
10
(i) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past
event that will probabfy result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation
can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement
amount after allowFng for any trade discounts due.
(j) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Fixed assets are included in the accounts at net book value. Additions of a single item or a group
of similar assets exceeding £500, are capitalised at cost (valuation for donated assets)
Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value of tangrble fixed
assets over their estimated useful lives as follows:_
Long Leasehold Buildings
2% oncost
Computer & Office Equipment
20 % on cost
Fixtures & Equipment
200/0 on cost
Long leasehold land is not being dereciated on the basis it does not have a limited useful life.
The charity, being a public benefit entity, does not consider that it holds the buFldings as an
investment.
Areas not used directly by the charity are let or hired to other public benefit
organisations, specifically those offering education and charitabfe services, at rates that aim to cover
the running costs of the facilities over time.
The fair value of any investment component cannot be measured reliably.
The building and improvements are therefore stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.
(k) Taxation
The organisation is exempt from income tax by reason of its charitable status. Income tax
suffered on investment income is reclaimed in full. The Charity is not currently registered for VAT.
(l) Pensions
The charity has an auto enrolment pension scheme. Contributions are charged against expenditure as
they fall due. The charity has no liabrlity beyond making its contributions and paying across the deductions
for the employees, contributions.
(m) Contingent liabilities
A contingent liability is rdentified and disclosed for those transactions resulting from a possible
obligation which will only be confirmed by the occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the trustees, control.

accounts do not incfude any adjustments that would be necessary if the funding income should cease.
17 POST BALANCE SHEET EVENTS
The Trustees do not consider that there have been any events since the balance sheet date that significantly
impact on the financial statements as presented.
18 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments.Basic
financial instruments are initially recognised on a transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement
value wrth the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at an amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
