Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2021
Developing a New Strategy
We started the process of developing a 3 year strategy and went through the Theory of Change process. This helped the organisation define the changes they wanted to achieve. This included staff, service user and board members. The end product gave usa Clear visual representation of our organisation and this was used to inform our wider strategic planning.
Organisational Restructure
Atal Y Fro received support from Lloyds Foundation Enhanced Programme to assist the CEO and Board of Trustees to restructure the charity to ensure the structure is fit for purpose and robust. Maintaining our local and regional partnership work At Atal Y Fro a partnership-approach is central to our specialist VAWDASV work, enabling survivors to access holistic-support that meets their needs and keeps them safe. Our partnerships come in the form of both formal/informal-arrangements, and our commitment to these embedded in our “Partnership Working Policy”. As an established long-standing local provider we have fostered partnerships for over 30 years across the Vale, Cardiff and South Wales ensuring clients needs are met through and integrated service, that delivers a community response centred around the client. We will continue to develop this throughout 2021 in our roll out of "Change that Lasts" as Welsh Women's Aid delivery partner in the Vale.
Preparation for Tender Ready Delivery Plan
Atal y Fro VAWDASV services were expected to be re-tendered in 2021. To ensure the organisation was tender ready, we reviewed existing documentation and information to develop a service model based on contract specifications
We took a 3 step approach:
-
Document request: Request copy of existing information and documents available from Atal Y Fro against: Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) requirements and National Quality Service Standards (NQSS) policy needs.
-
- Conduct audit: Review all documentation and information to ensure they are fit for purpose, in date, and meet all PQQ requirements. Review policies to ensure they meet NQSS requirements.
-
- Gap analysis: Compile a gap analysis and associated action plan detailing outstanding requirements for new information and documentation including any recommendations for improvements to existing policies to be PQQ and NQSS ready.
National Quality Service Standards (NQSS) Process
The NQSS form a set of accredited criteria against which dedicated specialist services addressing domestic abuse can evidence their quality of provision. AYF started this process by developing an action plan based on the NQSS requirements.
Achievements: Business as Usual in COVID
-
In March 2020 AYF was faced with the COVID 19 pandemic, which meant developing a COVID 19 risk management plan. This plan goal was to provide support services to people whilst minimising the risk factors to clients and staff.
-
- | We quickly developed a contingency plan and received funding from the Waterloo Foundation to support us with purchasing laptops, and equipment for our services users. Our risk assessments continued as we went in and out of lockdown
-
- We continued to deliver our services but in a different way, we worked with our health and safety company to complete a risk assessment of all our premises making sure we continued working following the government rules. Weekly meetings were held to support staff as we worked remotely.
-
- We engaged and supported staff on a range of topics including risk assessments, and advice to staff, COVID 19 symptoms and advice regarding masks and easing restrictions.
-
- We ensured that any staff member who was off work was supported and also took into consideration for staff that were home schooling or providing caring responsibilities.
-
- Our service users in our accommodation were provided with resources that would make them feel comfortable through a long period of isolation. This was funded by the Welsh Government COVID19 fund.

-
During this period we also increased our CRISIS Intervention project, Community Outreach, IDVA service, and delivered our Journey Beyond Abuse programme and Counselling project online with additional sessions. — - We were able to secure extra funding to both purchase and update our IT equipment to facilitate homeworking for all our employees. Service User Involement Strategy in 2020-2021, Atal Y Fro developed a Service User Involvement 3-year strategy with 12 months Action Plan. Involving service users with lived experience in our work not only strengthens working relationships between service users and staff, but it also creates a level playing filed, which validates their expertise.
-
The Drive project was extended to the Vale of Glamorgan. Drive works with high-harm, high-risk and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse to prevent their abusive behaviour and protect victims. to support this work, AYF has a lead IDVA that works with the victim of the perpetrator. - Two additional staff members were recruited to meet the demands due to the increase in domestic abuse. - Journey Beyond Abuse programme was redesigned and restarted online and will ran until the end of January 2021 with 2 courses which started on the 16th November. Twenty service users enrolled on the programme Public benefit In line with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity Commission for England and Wales issued guidance on the criteria ituses to determine whether or not a charity provides public benefit. We have considered the guidance and are satisfied we provide considerable public benefit as detailed in this report. We have referred to the guidance when reviewing our aims and objectives and in particular when planning for future services/activities. We discussed public benefit at one of our Board meetings during 2020/21.
; The direct benefits flowing from Atal Y Fro's purposes. The focus on the relief of those in need is achieved through the provision of our services for women, children, young people and men impacted by domestic violence and abuse. Support is provided through building on the strengths of survivors and their families. As well as trying to break the cycle of abuse, by working with perpetrators and those with concerns. The need for the service is evidenced by the continued development within the organisation, the continuing referrals to our services and the increased role of volunteers and placements.
Strategic report Achievement and performance Charitable activities Atal Y Fro provides support and advice through Refuge accommodation, Tenancy Support services, IDVA & ISVA services, Crisis Intervention services, Community & Outreach services, Journey Beyond Abuse programme, Counselling services.
Atal y Fro has continued to build on previous achievements from 1st April 2020- 31st March 2021.
In this financial year, AYF have supported a total of 1055 clients. This is an increase in numbers compared to last year, partly because of the pandemic effects on domestic abuse and demand for our services remains high.

Strategic report Financial review
TheFinancialCharityposition has made a surplus of £136,070 compared with a small loss of £3,635 in 2019/20. This surplus was mainly due to extra funding due to the Covid pandemic. The Funds of the charity as a result have increased to a position at year end at £457,187 compared to the previous year's position of £321,117. Free reserves at the year end totalled £448,089 (2020: £321,117). Free reserves represent the unrestricted funds held within the charity excluding the tangible fixed assets of £9,098 (2020: E£nil).
ThePrincipalprincipalfundingfundingsourcesstreams remained stable in 2020/21 and consist of amounts received from HSG, third sector grants and rental income. Lloyds Foundation continued with their funding of £25,000 towards Atal y Fro’s core costs. Extra Covid funding was in the form of both capital and revenue expenditure from the Welsh Government, Police and Crime Commissioner, Comic Relief, Children's Services in the Vale and several other smaller foundations.
Reserves policy The Charity understands the need to maintain reserves levels to enable it to meet current and future requirements. These reserves are required to cover services should a future reduction in funding be encountered. The reserves as at 5th April 2021 are considered sufficient for current levels of expenditure but the Trustees acknowledge the need to regularly monitor available reserves to ensure that they are sufficient to enable the Charity to continue to provide its services and support.
The reserves available are all of an unrestricted nature and therefore can be utilised for the general on-going activities of the Charity.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Atal y Fro OpinionWe have audited the financial statements of Atal y Fro (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 5 April; 2021 which: comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes ; to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: — ; - give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 5 April 2021 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 - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical : requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence : we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. i Conclusions relating to going concern ’ In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. i Basedindividuallyon theor workcollectively, we havemayperformed, cast significant we have doubtnot onidentifiedthe charitableany materialcompany'suncertaintiesability torelating continueto eventsas a goingor conditionsconcern forthat,a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Other information The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: - the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and - the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

The impact of uncertainties on our audit owing to COVID -19
The Trustees’ view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed on accounting policies note 1.
Uncertainties related to the effects of COVID-19 are relevant to understanding our audit of the financial statements. Alll audits assess and challenge the reasonableness of estimates made by the trustees, such as recoverability and valuation of assets, appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements and associated disclosures. All of these depend on assessments of the future economic environment and the charity's future prospects and performance. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK, and at the date of this report, its effects are subject to unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes, with the full range of possible effects unknown. We have applied a standardised approach in response to that uncertainty when assessing the charity's future prospects and performance. However, no audit should be expected to predict the unknowable factors or all possible future implications for a charity and this is particularly the case in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: - adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Atal y Fro
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our planning procedures identify the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the operations and financial statements of the company. These are reviewed internally with the audit team including relevant industry experience and expectations as well as externally with the client management. The key laws and regulations we considered in this context were the UK Companies Act 2006, Charities SORP ( FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities:Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard Applicable in : the UK and Republic of Ireland’, UK GAAP (FRS 102) and relevant tax legislation. ; Once identified, we assess the risks of material misstatements in relation to the laws and regulations, irregularities, including fraud and adjust our testing accordingly. Our audit procedures include:
Discussing with Trustees and management which areas of the business they believe to be more susceptible to - fraud, and whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of fraudulent activities Obtaining an understanding of the key controls put in place by the charitable company to address risks identified, - assessing the effectiveness of those and discussing how these are maintained and monitored internally Assessing the risk of management override and review and testing of journal entries made into the accounting - system Challenging assumptions and judgements made by the charitable company in relation to the significant accounting - estimates employed in the preparation of the financial statements Discussing with Trustees and management the legal and regulatory obligations of the charitable company and - whether they have any knowledge or suspicion of non compliance Despite the audit being planned and conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) there remains an unavoidable risk that material misstatements in the financial statements may not be detected owing to inherent limitations of the audit, and that by their very nature, any such instances of fraud or irregularities likely involve collusion, forgery, intentional misrepresentation, or the override of internal controls. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors. Use of our report This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members 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 the charitable co y's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Basis of preparing the financial statements The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)’, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. In particular, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trustees have tested their cash flow analysis to take into account the impact on the charity of possible scenarios brought on by the impact of COVID-19, alongside the measures that they can take to mitigate the impact. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the Trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.
Statutory information Atal Y Fro is an incorporated charity, limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales. The registered number and registered office address can be found in the Report of the Trustees.
Income Voluntary income including donations and grants provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measure with sufficient reliability.
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
- The donor specifies that the donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or - The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific performance conditions. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support programme activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Expenditure 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 a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has_ been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance and support costs Governance costs include costs of the preparation and examination of the statutory accounts, the costs of trustee meetings and the cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. Tangible fixed assets Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. Fixtures and fittings - 25% on reducing balance Computer equipment - 50% on cost Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are initially recorded at cost.

Taxation The company is a registered charity with all activities being for its primary purpose and is, therefore, exempt from taxation.
Fund accounting Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. ‘ Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. Pensions The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged in the statement of financial activities as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
Trade debtors Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the Charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
‘

Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the Charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
