Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
Objectives and activities
Shantona has been operating as a limited company since January 1998 and as a registered charity since 28[th] May 1999. It’s charitable objectives are “To promote the benefit of women in Leeds and the surrounding area by the advancement of education, relief of poverty, the preservation and protection of good health and the provision of facilities for recreation and leisure-time occupation in the interests of social welfare, in particular but without prejudice to the foregoing, for women of Bangladeshi origin.”
The name Shantona means, “Comfort” in Bengali. Established in 1998 by local Bangladeshi women, the aim of Shantona is to provide a separate, safe centre for women, children and young people.
The organisation has been operating for over 24 years and received various awards and recognition for the strengths, achievements and benefits to the community including the GSK Impact award 2020, Duke of York community initiative awards 2007 and 2012, A1 Business Excellence and the Golden Owl for our Hope Film.In recognition of her contribution to the public and voluntary sector in Leeds our CEO, Nahid Rasool, was also awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Leeds Beckett University in 2017.
Shantona’s diverse team reaches out to isolated women, builds trusting relationships and empowers culturally diverse women and families to be confident, independent and resilient to tackle inequality and to participate in programmes to improve community cohesion.
Shantona is highly regarded as a specialist organisation providing culturally sensitive support to culturally diverse communities and over many years has developed resources to support communities, as well as professionals to adopt culturally sensitive services. The Organisation challenges inequalities, discrimination, and poor cultural practice. Addressing issues such as domestic abuse (DV), Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE), Mental health and health and wellbeing provision to support the culturally diverse communities. Through our work, women and girls have developed leadership skills and have become empowered to influence and challenge culturally sensitive issues within their community which would otherwise remain hidden and go unreported. As a result, women are now sharing their experiences around domestic abuse and child sexual exploitation publicly and influencing faith groups including mosques.
In order to meet the needs of community our services have expanded and we are now using various other premises to meet the demand. However, we need bigger premises within Harehills to accommodate and provide this sensitive support to the most vulnerable women and families.
Covid Impact
Shantona played a huge role to support the community and stayed in touch with the most vulnerable during the lockdown. We have managed to support the community by delivering emergency food parcels, supporting people over the phone and, of course, making great videos like ‘Cooking with Zaynah’ series which encouraged families to stay healthy at home. We have produced several other videos such as a sports series (incl. tai chi and cricket), crafting series and others. Community support is at the heart of Shantona, so we continued to try our hardest to support the most vulnerable women in our communities.
However, we can now see the huge impact on communities and inequality faced by the communities it serves. Therefore, we have carried out consultations with our services users, and are now looking at service provision focusing on post COVID recovery.
Shantona's services over the year include:
Domestic Violence (DV) Support - Supporting Culturally diverse women and girls who are facing abuse including: domestic abuse (mental, physical, emotional), forced marriage, honour based violence, Child Sexual Exploitation and isolation resulting from divorce or marriage breakdown.
Healthcare Provision – Working with culturally diverse women, children and young people to address health inequality, promoting healthy lifestyles, easing access to health services and meeting the health-related recreational needs of the community.
Mental Health – To create a safe, non-judgmental and friendly space to support culturally diverse 16+ women with mild to moderate mental health needs.

Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31 March 2022
Achievements and performance
Over the years Shantona has provided unique services, not only to overcome barriers to access services, but also to help people become independent. From being a small community organisation providing social and recreational activities for the Bangladeshi community, with the focus on a particular geographical area of Leeds, it is now catering for people from various ethnic minority communities. By advocating and meeting the needs of our target group, we hope to benefit the whole of society by encouraging integration and community cohesion and reducing inequality.
The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Financial review
Shantona has again been successful in attracting funding from various sources. It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. The charity has designated funds amounting to £41,003 which have been set aside out of unrestricted funds for specific purposes. Note 17 provides further details of the purpose of these funds.
Plans for future periods
Shantona as an organisation has adopted, extended and changed a lot according to the changing needs of the community. Currently we are working with many culturally diverse communities of interest, became the voice of small organisations and supporting them in a collaborative way, including BHI, Orion Partnership, Women’s Lives Leeds etc. Shantona is working in partnership with them, while possibly supporting smaller organisations & raising their voice.
Future plans include:
-
Post COVID recovery services development to reduce inequality
-
Expand and develop our services to become more specialist services for culturally diverse communities, who are facing many difficulties because of inequalities
-
Reaching out to partners outside of Leeds and engaging in further collaboration.
-
Continuing to raise awareness around violence against women and girls and producing resources.
-
Development of staff team to support the communities.
-
Carrying out research and developing further services to meet the needs of the community and dealing with new emerging issues.
-
Increasing the amount of young people’s provision and improving community cohesion between young people from Harehills.
-
Involvement in further partnerships with various domestic violence projects by bringing an integrated approach, to tackle various issues around DV and CSE, our joint approach will be citywide to increase working with people who are not reporting violence, as well as working on child sexual exploitation through a targeted support service with Safer Leeds and the Domestic Violence Forum.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)
1 Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a Basis of preparation
The financial statements 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 Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Shantona Women’s & Family Centre Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
b Reconciliation with previous Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
In preparing the accounts, the trustees have considered whether in applying the accounting policies required by FRS 102 and the Charities SORP FRS 102 the restatement of comparative items was required. No such restatement was required.
c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Covid 19 pandemic has not, as of June 2020, had a significant negative impact on the charity's finances, although the charity has had to adapt some of its services during this time.
There are no key judgments which the trustees have made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
e Donated services and facilities
Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
f Interest receivable
