In preparing this annual report the Trustees confirm that due regard has been paid to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission. 

## **Objectives of the Federation** 

The objectives of the Federation are to further the purpose of the Women's Institute Movement in Dorset and elsewhere; to offer opportunities for women to enjoy friendship, learn new skills, to widen their horizons and to influence local, national and international affairs for the public benefit. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Federation's aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Financial Review** 

The Federation has this year achieved a surplus of £7814 (2021 surplus £4973) 

Total unrestricted funds at 31[st] May 2022 were £442,237. The Trustees are confident that sufficient funds are held to enable the Federation to continue in operation for the foreseeable future. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The Federation was incorporated on 12 June 1992 as a company limited by guarantee (number (02722759) and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (number 1041714).  Its Memorandum and Articles of Association govern the affairs of the Federation.  The liability of the members, in the event of the Federation being wound up, is limited to a sum not exceeding £1. 

Members of the Board of Trustees are the directors of the charitable company and its trustees for the purposes of charity law, and are elected in accordance with the Federation Articles of Association. 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the management of the business and the exercise of all powers of the Federation.  It consists of not less than eight and not more than fifteen persons elected biannually either by nomination by a Committee Member or a Dorset Women's Institute and election at an annual meeting, or by co-option by the Board of Trustees (up to a maximum of one-third

of the number of elected Board Members).  Induction and training is provided as required. 

The honorary officers of the Federation are the Chairman, Treasurer, and between one and three Vice-Chairmen, elected by the Board of Trustees from among their number to hold office until the next annual meeting.  The officers of the Federation are ex-officio members of all sub-committees. 

The Federation Secretary is appointed by the Board of Trustees, who determines remuneration and term of office, but is not a member of the Board. 

The Federation is a member of the National Federation of Women's Institutes of England, Wales, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. 

## **Chairman’s Report** 

The Board met eleven times during the year initially via Zoom as a result of restrictions owing to Covid 19.  Later in the year some face-to-face meetings resumed. 

Jenny Preston remained as Federation Chairman.  Marilyn Holehouse was elected Treasurer in October 2021 and is also Denman Ambassador and Federation Archivist.  Kath Burt stepped down as Treasurer in October 2021 and remains on the Board as Assistant Treasurer.  Margaret Bunch was elected Vice-Chairman in October 2021 and is also Chairman of the Events Team.  Yvonne Marsh was elected Vice-Chairman in October 2021 and is also Chairman of the Membership and Support Team.  Linda Barber resigned as Trustee and Vice-Chairman in October 2021. 

Eight Board of Trustee members were elected into office in October 2021.  The Board consisted of the four officers with Leri Ayre, Public Affairs Co-ordinator, Kath Burt, Assistant Treasurer, Esme Isaacs, ACWW Representative and Jan Watson, Resolutions Co-ordinator.  Carol Brown resigned from the Board in October 2021.  Other Federation roles were held by Elaine Knight, member of The Events Team and Major Fund Raising Co-ordinator (Camp Bestival), Isabell van Millingen, WI member, Editor of Dorset WI News, Jane Doughty, WI member Web Editor for the Board and Kim Cowling and Vanessa Dawson, Digital coordinators and Trainers, 

During the year Jenny Preston and Kath Burt represented the Dorset Federation at the NFWI National Council in October 2021.  Jan Watson attended the shortlisting of the NFWI Resolutions.  Both of these meetings were held via Zoom for the second year running.  In May 2022 Jenny Preston and Yvonne Marsh attended an ACWW meeting outlining the revitalised regime.  The Annual Meeting of the Federation was held in October 2021 and was a return to the Lighthouse, Poole.  The speakers were Dr Annie Grey and Amanda Owen, also known as the ‘Yorkshire Shepherdess’. 

The staff continued in their positions, Diane Towndrow, Federation Secretary and Company Secretary and Sara Wood, Finance Manager.  Diane Towndrow resumed

her contracted hours during the year following some reduction of working practices during the pandemic. 

At 31[st] May 2022 there were 2905 members in 79WIs in Dorset.  During the year two WIs were suspended, Charlton Down and Shaftesbury Evening.  There were two enlargements, Amberwood Highcliffe and Highcliffe, now known as Amberwood Highcliffe and Gulliver and Lilliput, now known as Lilliput.  One new WI was formed, Chickerell Moonfleet.  The idea of a Virtual WI was trialled towards the end of 2021, however, lack of support led to the launch being postponed for the time being.  Membership was higher than the previous year and again reflected the age profile of the county. 

The Membership and Support Team continued to support the Dorset membership in the running of WIs in the county and are now able to resume visits to the individual WIs as appropriate. 

The Events Team were able to recommence some face-to-face events during the year.  This was much appreciated and supported by members generally although some planned events did not go ahead owing to lack of support.  Craft sessions held in our office in Poundbury continued to be popular and well supported. 

The Federation did not run their popular WI Tea Tent at Camp Bestival for the second year running.  Although the festival went ahead it was considered too great a risk for our volunteers as there were still some Covid restrictions in place. 

The Board of Trustees and staff will continue working towards minimizing the impact of the pandemic on our finances in 2022 – 2023 led by our Treasurer and Finance Manager.  The Board will continue to support WIs by delivering a varied programme of learning opportunities, information on current campaigns and social events.  The use of the facilities of our Poundbury premises has reduced costs where the fees for hiring halls are necessary.  The Microsoft Office 365 facility has been taken up by most Federation volunteers and many WIs making for a safer method of communication via email.  Our Facebook page continues to thrive owing to its management by Kim Cowling and the Comms Team. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provision relating to small companies within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006. 

Approved by the Board of Trustees on                                      and signed on its behalf by: 

Jenny Preston, Chairman, Dorset Federation of Women's Institutes

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE DORSET FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES LIMITED** 

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 May 2022 which are set out on pages 10 and 19. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner** 

The Trustees (who are also directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- Follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- State whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission.  An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.  It also includes consideration of any unusual items for disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

1. Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

7 



## **DORSET FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES LIMITED** 

      - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 286 of the Companies Act 2006: and 

- To prepare accounts which accords with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

- Have not been met: or 

   2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**DORSET FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES LIMITED** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022** 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 May 2022 have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006.  The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for certain properties and financial instruments that are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below.  Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.  The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the company’s financial statements. 

## **Cash flow statement** 

The Company has availed of the exemption in FRS 102 Section 7 from the requirement to prepare a Cash Flow Statement because it is classified as a small company. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised when the Federation has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

Subscriptions, donations and member’s insurance receipts when received by the Federation. 

The Federation receives the benefit of work carried out by volunteers, the value of which is not included in the accounts. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to the expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.  Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered. 

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the statement of financial activities as they are incurred. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation.  The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost of valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: 

Freehold Buildings Fixtures, fittings and equipment 

balance Computer and IT equipment 

2% straight line 15% reducing 

25% straight line

**DORSET FEDERATION OF WOMEN’S INSTITUTES LIMITED** 

The carrying values of tangible assets are reviewed annually for impairment in periods if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

## **ACCOUNTING POLICIES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022** 

## **Stocks** 

Stocks are valued at the lower cost and net realisable value.  Stocks are determined on a first-in, first out basis.  Cost comprises expenditure incurred in the normal course of business in bringing stocks to their present location and condition.  Full provision is made for obsolete and slow moving items.  Net realisable value comprises of actual or estimated selling price (net of discounts) less all further costs to completion or to be incurred in marketing and selling. 

## **Debtors and creditors** 

Debtors and creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. 

Debtors and creditors are stated with no interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. 

## **Funds** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects of the Federation at the discretion of the Board of Trustees. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds that are set aside at the Board’s discretion for particular purposes.  Restricted income funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure having been received for a specific restricted project or purpose.
