OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public benefit
The Haven Wolverhampton continues to provide a wide range of services for women and children who are
vulnerable to domestic abuse and homelessness, ensuring we deliver clear public benefit through our work.
setween April 2024 and March 2025, The Haven supported approximately 450* women, children and young
people on average per quarter in its refuge and Community Service (including Children's Independent Sexua
Violence Advisor service). Our 24/7 helpline received on average 2,659 calls per month**, ensuring that every
ndividual had access to immediate advice, emotional support, and guidance during times of crisis. Our Live
Chat and WhatsApp services received on average 37 messages per month*,
• As part of our digital
transformation, we invested in and introduced Oasis, a bespoke case management system with over 80
customisations, significantly improving how we log referrals, track outcomes, and communicate
We provided accommodation to 148 new women and 125 children and young people, offering personalised
support that prioritised both immediate safety and long-term empowerment. Within our refuges, daily life was
enriched through a range of therapeutic and practical activities, from cooking culinary delights and pamper
sessions, to creative outiets and life skills workshops. These are all designed to promote wellbeing, boost
confidence, and nurture a sense of belonging. During breakfast, when children were encouraged to try a
"Thank you for helping my daughter eat healthier. Mornings are much easier now!" These small
but
meaningful interactions reflect the wider ethos of our refuge spaces making them supportive, empowering
environments where women and children can rebuild and recover.
Our team continued to provide not just professional support, but compassionate care; something that was
deeply felt and appreciated. Hannah***
, a young woman reflecting on her time in refuge, shared how much
the connection with staff meant to her. To our Refuge Service Lead, Rosie, Hannah***
said, "...because of
you I am standing on my own two feet today. I want to wish you a Happy Mother's Day." When leaving our
accommodation service, Zainab*** said, "Thanks to you all for all the support while in refuge. It was very
challenging for me at the start but the support from staff helped me to stay focused and the resettlement
grants helped me and my son to make a good start in our new home."
Our Community Service team supported women living independently, or with their abusers, regardless of their
living situation. Through safety planning, advocacy, and emotional support, we helped on average 360 women
a quarter* to stay safe, explore justice, and maintain their independence. The team worked closely with
housing
services, police, and healthcare
protessionals
to ensure
that each woman received
the
comprehensive support she needed. Beata***, who had been through a difficult time, expressed her gratitude,
saying,
"Thanks for the chats we have had when you have met up [with me]... I would like to thank you for
everything you have done for me since I went through a rough time of violence with my husband. You gave
me good advice that I appreciated. When I went to court... you were there for me, I couldn't have done it
alone. You are very compassionate and caring, also very professional in your position with The Haven..." This
feedback reflects the deep and lasting impact of the team's support in helping women navigate their
challenges and rebuild their lives.
Small Grants Funding enabled us to provide essential items such as white goods, school uniforms, or safety
enhancements in the home. These practical supports have often been a lifeline to women transitioning out of
abusive environments. In all, we issued 157 small grants totalling £42,322.38 while 44 women were also
supported with food vouchers.
Our CYP team worked directly with children and young people through refuge-based activities and community
outreach. Programmes focused on safety, self-expression, emotional regulation, and rebuilding trust.
Highlights included our creative workshops and a joyful trip to Circus Starr's 'The Circus with a Purpose'. This
day was deeply significant in helping children rediscover joy and feel safe again. One mother
Aminata*** told us,
"She enjoyed it. She was jumping up and down all the time!", while her five-year-old
daughter beamed with excitement, "It was fun, look my face is painted!"

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The Haven supported women with No Recourse to Public Funds through access to food, shelter, and
caseworker advocacy. Thanks to renewed Eaton Fund support and other sources, we assisted with
immigration fees, travel for Home Office appointments, school trip costs, mobile phones, and laptops for
women learning English. These interventions enabled women to overcome complex systemic barriers and
take steps toward stability and independence. We worked with Harpreet*** to anonymously share her story as
an immigrant woman who experienced abuse, with her immigration status being used as a further form of
control and increasing her vulnerability, with BBC Midlands Today. This was an empowering experience for
her that also helped raise awareness and offer hope to others in similar situations.
This year we launched a Sexual Violence Survivors' Group, open to any woman in the community who could
benefit from peer support and specialist guidance. Sarah***,
, a young woman, reflecting on her journey,
shared how critical the support was to her recovery: "My journey throughout the last five years has been tough
to say the least. I was 17 when I first came to The Haven when I met Lauren, and I am now 23. Those years
have been some of the toughest I have experienced. Lauren always offered me the support when I needed it;
attending the solicitors, attending the court hearings, and just being an ear for me to vent to. My
experience with Lauren only makes me want to help other adults and children who experience violence, and I
hope to one day return the support I have felt to somebody in need." This feedback illustrates the profound
and lasting impact our support has on survivors, empowering them to rebuild their lives. Another success
story was Nadia* who was supported by our Sexual Violence Team, including through the justice system
where the perpetrator resulted in receiving a lengthy prison term.
We achieved a 25% reduction in our counselling waitlist, thanks to streamlined referral processes and
expanded availability. Our qualified counsellors provided trauma-informed support to over 58 women with a
team of 6 counsellors, helping them process abuse, build resilience, and regain control over their lives
Shazia*** who received counselling shared her gratitude: "I'm so thankful and grateful for having you as my
counsellor and friend. I used all your tips and tricks and advice. I just kept on telling myself how far I've come
and how amazing I am (your words). Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the best!"
We were also gifted a unique opportunity to deepen our commitment to creative interventions through a
powerful partnership with Wolverhampton Art Gallery, funded by the Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund,
launching the ARTiculating HerStory project. This initiative invited women we support to explore their journeys
through collage art, using colour, texture, and symbolism as a means of storytelling and healing. The results
were deeply moving, with the artwork displayed in the gallery's Gathering Space for the wider community to
engage with. Gemma***
reflected, "In the process of creating art, I found the courage to take back my story
and write a new ending."
Our Substance Use Service continued to support women navigating challenges with drugs or alcohol, offering
one-to-one support, psychoeducation, and creative therapeutic activities. One such activity was our Sip and
Paint sessions, where women explored healthier coping strategies while enjoying alcohol-free alternatives in a
relaxed, social setting. Many described the sessions as deeply therapeutic, with Lana*** reflecting that "it was
fun to do an activity as a group and spend time doing things we don't get to do very often... it felt very
therapeutic, and it was so great to find some good alternatives to drinking alcohol." These sessions not only
fostered connection but also enabled important conversations about substance use and recovery. In addition,
our partnership with Recovery Near You saw the launch of drop-in clinics at our Head Office, where women
were able to access female-led practitioner support, relapse prevention resources, testing, and tailored care
in a safe and non-judgemental space.
Our revamped Life Skills Service played a vital role in helping around 287 women regain their confidence and
independence as they rebuild their lives. Through workshops on budgeting, cooking, managing a home, and
understanding tenancy rights, women developed practical tools to support their journeys toward long-term
safety and stability. Complementing this, our Home Efficiency Service provided advice on reducing energy
usage, maximising comfort, and in some cases, support with accessing energy vouchers, to 242 women. The
service also offered creative learning opportunities, including group sessions with energy-saving tips and the
use of donated slow cookers to cook nutritious meals affordably. Jess***, a woman who took part in a slow
cooker cooking session shared, "I never knew that a slow pot can be so useful and efficient." Such services
play a pivotal role in empowering women to live independent lives.

we do what we do - like Emma***
, a woman in our refuge who recently moved into her own home after 14
months with us. In a heartfelt note, she wrote, "Thank you so much for putting up with me for so long. I know I
can be hard work and it's been 14 months too long." Alongside flowers and chocolates, Emma's message
was a touching reminder that the journey to independence is often long but always worth it. Her resilience and
gratitude reflect the strength we see every day. As she begins a new chapter, we celebrate all the women and
children who have found hope, healing, and home through The Haven and our committed team, and we
remain dedicated to walking alongside many more in the journey ahead

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Fundraising activities
Fundraising at The Haven has continued to thrive during 2024/25. Throughout the year, the team organised a
variety of events, strengthened relationships with companies, community groups, and individual supporters,
and maintained strong engagement across the West Midlands. Although there were several staffing changes,
the fundraising team is now a settled and dedicated team of five.
The Haven has paid the Fundraising Levy for 2024/25 and continued its organisational membership with the
Fundraising Regulator, the body responsible for overseeing the Fundraising Code of Practice. Members of the
team have regularly attended training sessions and webinars to enhance their skills and stay updated with
sector best practice. This ongoing professional development underpins our commitment to ethical fundraising
and the Fundraising Promise. There have been no investigations into The Haven by the Regulator this year.
Lead is also an Individual Member of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CloF),
demonstrating a further commitment to excellence.

activities undertaken by
This year, highlights included our Annual Ball, which adopted a beautiful masquerade theme and was held at
The Mount Hotel in Tettenhall, welcoming guests for an evening of celebration and giving. Our staple Golf
Day event returned once again, raising an incredible £6,500, with 84 golfers enjoying a round of golf followed
by a two-course meal and entertainment.
Empurple Week also stood out as a success, raising awareness and much needed funds across
Wolverhampton and beyond. Many of our corporate partners got involved as well as community groups and
individuals. Notably, we were featured on 'Conversations with Chris' on WCRFM, who "empurpled" their logo
and website for the entire week in solidarity.
Beyond our core events, fundraising has enabled us to offer women and children healing experiences that go
beyond safety, from external trips to the zoo to therapeutic art sessions and festive celebrations. Christmas
was particularly special, with overwhelming community support ensuring that families felt joy, hope, and a
sense of belonging at a time when many expected nothing more than safety.
Thanks to incredible public generosity, we received approximately £50,000 in gifts in kind this year. As we are
unable to accept second-hand goods, all donations received were brand-new and heartfelt contributions from
individuals and groups who wanted to show their support to the women and children we work with.
Fundraising also helped us deliver practical impacts: refreshing tired bathrooms within our accommodation,
providing 'move-on' packages to help women create safe, welcoming homes of their own, supporting helpline
and counselling services, and funding empowering creative activities.
The Haven has not received any formal complaints in relation to fundraising this year. We have clear policies
and systems in place to record
and address any complaints we do receive. Our Fundraising Promise is
displayed clearly on our website,
and supporters have an easy-to-access complaints procedure. We
acknowledge written complaints within five working days and aim to resolve them within 28 days. Complaints
are initially handled by the Fundraising Manager and escalated to our Senior Leadership Team and/or the
Chief Executive Officer when necessary; we would report to the Fundraising Regulator where required.
We also continue to uphold our vulnerable persons policy, ensuring all fundraising activity protects those who
may be vulnerable. This policy is shared during induction and through regular refresher training for fundraising
staff. Our internal procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure they meet the highest standards.

Our database records consent preferences for all donors and is regularly updated. We remain signed up to
the Fundraising Preference Service, although we have not received any requests via the service this year.
Thanks to the dedication of our fundraising team and the kindness of our supporters, The Haven continues to
nurture safety, healing, and empowerment for every woman and child who turns to us for help.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review 2024/25
The previous year had been been extremely challenging, as can be seen from our detailed accounts, with
unforeseen expenditure and income levels not being as forecast.
This year has seen a significant turnaround in our finances. 2023/24 showed a substantial deficit of £655,983,
brought about by income levels not being as expected, and necessary but unplanned expenditure. This year,
we are showing a surplus of £528,834, due largely to three factors:
- Expenditure forecasting has improved
- Legacy income received of £250,000
- Funds received from The Mrs Hay Memorial Trust of £280,056
The Mrs Hay Memorial Trust has worked closely with The Haven over many years, and its Trustees decided
that its charitable objectives, which align closely with those of The Haven, would be best served by winding up
the charity and donating its funds to The Haven. Without these two items of income, our underlying result
from day-to-day operations would have been an extremely small deficit of £1,222, which the Trustees regard
as satisfactory. Excluding these exceptional items, our income increased from £3,128,516 to £3,253,931, an
increase of 4%, whilst expenditure fell from £3,784,499 to £3,255153, a decrease of 14%, and the Trustees
believe these levels are sustainable.
Reserves and retained funds policy
Reserves are necessary to meet the day-to-day requirements of the organisation, to build up funds to provide
for future maintenance of the charity's properties and to provide resources for new projects and meet
unexpected costs and emergencies. Our reserves include the cost of our properties and other Fixed Assets,
amounting to £2,023,106, and so this amount is not immediately available to meet any of these requirements.
The Trustees have therefore agreed a policy that free reserves,
as shown on the Balance Sheet as Net
Current Assets, should be sufficient to meet three months budgeted expenses. These Net Current Assets
stand at £955,468, equivalent to 3.2 months expenditure, which is line with this policy. Included in this sum is
the grant from The Mrs Hay Memorial Trust mentioned in the Financial Review, amounting to £280,056. The
Trustees of that charity expressed a wish that this grant be kept for exceptional items and emergencies and
so, whilst this does not constitute a Restricted Fund, the Trustees of The Haven will endeavour to respect
these wishes.
Going concern
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
assessment. Based on these assessments, and given the financial and organisational changes made in the
year under review 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.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document and Constitution
The Haven Wolverhampton is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated in 1996 (Company
Limited by Guarantee No. 03159029), registered as a charity in 1995 (Registered Charity No. 1065427). The

the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association which was last updated in March

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
The directors of the company are also the charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the
companies' articles they are known as members of the board. Under the requirements of the Articles of
Association the members of the board are appointed to serve for a period of three vears after which they must
be re-elected at the next annual general meeting for a further period of three years following which they stand
down for a minimum period of 18 months before being able to request to re-join the board.
Recruitment to the board
Recruitment is made following an open selection process with the appointment ratified at the Annual General
Meeting. It is important that the skills and competencies reflect the roles and responsibilities required by law
for Charity Trustees and Company Directors and we are able to co-opt members to support that.
Development and growth
During the year 2024/2025 the Board of Trustees at The Haven has grown considerably in number and so
have the skills and expertise within the group. Successful recruitment following advertisement resulted in a
number of new trustees, all of whom are in the process of learning about the organisation. Each trustee is
provided with E-learning, invited to visit The Haven's sites, and provided with access to key organisational
documents. There are now nine trustees, one of which is a co-optee, reflecting the confidence within the
board about the future resilience of The Haven. We have been meeting as a board on a monthly basis to
support staff and maintain steady oversight of our finances. We are delighted to report a steady, positive
trajectory in terms of our future stability and our readiness to compete for future contracts.
As the Chair of The Board, I am very grateful indeed to every trustee for their commitment during a busy year
when extra demands have been made on their time.
Key management remuneration
When setting pay and remuneration for The Haven's key management personnel we ensure we utilise a
transparent and fair framework. We engage with an independent third party to benchmark job descriptions
against industry
and national databases to ensure pay is appropriate. Any change to employee job
descriptions would trigger a new pay review. Management personnel adhere to the same performance
management and other HR policies as the rest of the organisation.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Organisational structure
For much of the year, the organisation has been managed by our Senior Leadership Team who, in recent
months have shouldered their own responsibilities in addition to those of a Chief Executive Officer.
Board appreciate the Senior Leadership Team's efforts and their commitment.
From the beginning of May 2025, we are happy to announce that we have appointed a new, permanent CEO
with very clear expectations of the work to be done. Our CEO has a network of contacts across the West
Midlands as a consequence of her previous roles and it is clear that she will conduct business on the basis of
partnership. We are all very excited indeed about the prospects for 2025/2026 in light of this appointment and
the work throughout the previous year.
It is likely that our new leadership will change the expectation of trustees to meet monthly, returning to the
more usual format of quarterly meetings.
At the same time the board will be kept up to date with key
elements of decision making with a particular emphasis upon strategic development in the future.
Our focus remains to ensure close scrutiny of expenditure to bring about savings and re-negotiate contracts
to secure best value.
The accounts will show that this year our reserves have been replenished to reassuring levels, partly through
work to dissolve the Mrs Hay Memorial Trust and transfer the funds held there, and also through a generous
In addition, staff
and trustees are absolutely committed to evidencing our best quality standards and
establishing valid data to secure the local authority contract due to be commissioned next summer and to
reassure other funding bodies. During the reporting year, the team set out on a big project to achieve the
Women's Aid Federation of England (WAFE) National Quality Standards accreditation and was granted a
conditional award in early 2025.
The Board appreciates the amount of work invested by key members o
staff in order to secure accreditation.
In April 2025, The Haven Wolverhampton was officially
awarded the WAFE National Quality Standards 2024-27.
Risk management
Our Board of Trustees is committed
to effective risk management and a Risk Register is in place, for the
purpose of identifying, assessing, and mitigating risks that may impact upon our ability to provide outstanding
retuge and community services.
We also recognise the importance of managing risks related to governance, compliance with legal and
regulatory requirements
and staffing risks, including the need to attract and retain a diverse and skilled
workforce.
Looking ahead, we are renewing our focus on financial resilience. Our Board of Trustees is committed to
overseeing our financial management practices and ensuring that we have the resources we need to continu
making a positive impact in our community. By staying vigilant and proactive in managing external financial
risks, we can continue to fulfil our mission.

Registered owners of properties - Nominated Trustees
The title for a refuge property belonging to The Haven Wolverhampton is in the name of four ex trustees of
The Haven Wolverhampton as nominees. When the property was originally purchased, The Haven
Wolverhampton was not operating as a limited company, and so the title deeds had to be put in the name of
the trustees, as nominees. Consent to change the registered owners was granted in June 2025, and the title
deed will now be updated.
The Haven Wolverhampton is the registered owner of all of the other properties.
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
The trustees (who are also the directors of The Haven Wolverhampton for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with
applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting
Practice).

Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT - continued
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the
trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and
application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy
at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of
the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant
audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
The Haven Wolverhampton
We have audited the financial statements of The Haven Wolverhampton (the 'charitable company') for the
year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash
Flow Statement 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 31 March 2025 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.
standards are further described in the
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.
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.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or
conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to
continue as a going concern for 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.
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 Haven Wolverhampton
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; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to
prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, 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
he 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
The Haven Wolverhampton
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
financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below.
To assess the risk of irregularity through non-compliance with laws and regulations:
- The audit engagement partner ensured that the audit team collectively had the appropriate experience,
competence and skills to undertake the audit of a charitable company, including having an understanding of
the applicable laws and regulations applying to such organisations;
- We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the charity, through our knowledge of the charity sector
and through discussions with management and the trustees;
- We have obtained and reviewed minutes of meeting of the trustees;
- We have reviewed the disclosures made within the financial statements and the trustees' report.
To assess susceptibility to misstatement in the charity's accounts, including how fraud might occur:
- The audit team reviewed and documented internal controls;
- We made enquiries of management and those charged with governance to ascertain where they
considered there to be susceptibility to fraud and whether they had knowledge or suspicion of fraud.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of internal controls:
- We reviewed transactions with related parties and carried out analytical procedures to identify unusual
transactions or balances;
- We reviewed and tested adjustments and journals posted in the charity's financial systems for
appropriateness and approval processes;
- We tested the completeness of income and validity of costs;
- We considered the appropriateness of accounting estimates, where relevant.
We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularities, including fraud.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including
those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This
risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements,
as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of
non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as
fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 March 2025
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
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, as modified by the revaluation of certain
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. 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.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually
reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the
funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Grants from the government and other agencies have been included as income from activities in
furtherance of the objects
of the charity where these amount to a contract for services, but as
donations and similar incoming resources where the money is given with greater freedom of use for
example government core funding.
Accommodation charges are shown net and represent recoverable amounts after making our best
efforts to collect all amounts due.
are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending
distribution, the amount is known or can be reliably estimated, and receipt is expected. If the amount is
not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
Donations and legacies received for general purposes of the charity are included in unrestricted funds.
Donations
and legacies for activities restricted by the terms of the donation are taken to restricted
funds where these wishes are legally binding on the Trustees.
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
Governance costs
Governance costs include the cost of governance arrangements which relate to the general running of
the charity as opposed to the direct management function inherent in generating funds, service delivery
and programme or project work. These activities provide the governance infrastructure which allows
us to operate and to generate the information required for public accountability. They include the
strategy planning process that contributes to our future development.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Allocation and apportionment of costs
Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on those
activities.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the Charity.
They are allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated
useful life.
Freehold property
Fixtures and fittings
Computer equipment
- 2% on cost
33% on cost
- 33% on cost
The Freehold property is reviewed by the trustees on an annual basis and any significant impairment is
treated as additional depreciation and included in the Statement of Financial Activities. The revised
carrying amount is depreciated in accordance with the above policy.
All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost or deemed cost in the case of certain assets revalued on
transition to SORP (FRS102).
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the
trustees.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.
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.
Expenditure which meets these criteria is identified to the fund, together with a fair allocation of
management and support costs.
Transfers are made from unrestricted to restricted funds in order that the restricted fund has sufficient
funding to meet its obligations
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial
statements.
Gifts in kind donated for distribution to the beneficiaries of the charity are recognised at fair value and
are included as a component of donations when they are distributed and an equivalent amount
recognised as charitable expenditure.
Redundancy and termination payments
encourage voluntary redundancy. The Charity is considered to be demonstrably committed only when
it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal from the
plan.
