Prlnclpal actlvltles Leewavs principal activities are to provide temporary accommodation and other services to adults and children who are subject to Domestic Violence and Abuse. Improving the health and wellbeing of adults and children using the seprflce. Promoting empowerment and self-detennlnation for adults, children and young people using the service. Keeping the needs of seNice users central to serVa delivery and ensuring sep4ices evolve to meet changing needs. Developing diverse sepiices to meet the needs of diverse communities. Providing tailored services that meet the specific needs of children and young peopl•. Sharing best practice and to promote effective multi-agency worf(ing. Educating and raising awareness throughout Society that domestic abuse is not acceptable. Plans for future porfods Leeway is a welkposltioned voluntary organi8ation. The current business plan addresses many of the opportunities and challenges facing Leeway in the near future. There is likely to be increased use of eommissionlng as a way of delivering services in the future and we can expect increased competition for funds. Despite this we will continue to put the people we serve at the heart of our work and ensure that any contracts are fully funded by the commissioners. Some of Leeway's contracts are ending, and as yet. we are unsure of what fomiat any re-tenders will take. We will continue lo work wrth commissioners, helplng them shape seNices to meet the identified needs that we see on a daily basis. Leeway will work to increase awareness of domestic violence and abuse and promote Leeway's 6eNices. To enable us to do this we will expand our trading activities to maximise income. Geographlcal ¢ov•r4ge - Different local authorities have different approaches to commissioning and to d•llv•ry of services. At this stage it seems sensible to concentrate mainly on expanding and sustaining Norfolk services as a priority and building on our Suffolk services when funding opportunities become available. Growth across the counties will enable Leeway to deliver the required domestic violencelabuse services for service user8 and to allow the organisation to build greater capacity. This will allow Leeway to share central costs across mr)re services. thus making us 8 more cost-effective service provider. It will also enable us to offer value for money services in an extremely competrtive environment. However. a realistic approach to providing pilot and short4errn projects ne8ds to be recognised across the organisation. and so sadly some seNices may not continue once the funding ends. Our specialist domestic abuse training can be delivered both locally and nationally our plans are to expand and develop this service in the future. Page 8

The staff are trained to actively promote the core values and mission of the organisation and to ensure that our work and the need for it, is fully understood by everyone in the nelworks we work with. This is Separate from the function of the marketing and sustainability role which focuses on raising awareness of the organisetlonal brand within the local community to generate funds. Servlco user Involvement - Developing service user involvement is an important strand of our work. Historically service users have always been involved in the development of Leeway's services. We work with service users in a way that enables them to develop and have control of the support we provide.

LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES (A company Ilmlted by guarantee) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF LEEWAY DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ABUSE SERVICES (CONTINUED) Audltors. responslbllltles for tho audlt of the financlal statemonts We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance wilh the Act and r818vant regulation5 made or having effect thereunder. Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial ststements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an Auditors, report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance Is a hlgh 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 a9gregate, they could reasonably be expected to Influence the èconomlc decislons of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures In Ilne with our responsibilities, OLrtlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedur•$ are capable of detecting Irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: The objective8 of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; lo obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud. through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud Identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with govemance of the charitable Company. Our approach wa$ as follows: W6 obtained an understanding of tho legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the charitable Company and considered that the most signrfic8nt are the Cornpanies Act 2006, the Charitles Act 2011. the Charty SORP, and UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council. We obtained an understanding of how the charitable Company complies with these requirements by discu88ion8 With management and those charged with govemance. We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial ststements, induding the risk of Material misslatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding di8CUS8ions with management and those charged with govemance. We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non- compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations. Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit prOdureS to entty instances of noncompliance with laws and regulats'ons. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with govemance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required. 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 norFcompliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or gulatIOn is removed from the events and transactions refiected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instan$ 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 misrepresentstion. Page 13

Leeway Domestic Violence & Abuse SeNices meets the definition of a public benellt entlty under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otheNiise stated in the relevant accounting policy. The following principal accounting policies have been applied: 2.2 Golng concorn The Trustees are confident that the charitable Company can continue its successful track record of securing th8 funds needed to support its valuable work. This will be achieved by the Senior managers and fundraising team apptying for grants and donations. The charitable Cc*npany's annual budgets end fundraising log demonstrate how the incorne will be raised to meet all the charitable expendiutr8 and support costs as they fall due. The Trustees therefore consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis. 2.3 Income All income is recognised once the charitable Company has entitlement to the income. it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured lIablY. The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probabilty of receipt and the abilty to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the charitable Company has sufficient evidence that a gift has been left to them (through knowledge of the existence of a valid will and the death of the benefactor) and the executor is satisfied that the propety in question will not be required to satisfy claims in the estate. Receipt of a legacy must be recognised when it is probable that it will be received and the fair value of the amount receivable, which will generally be the expected cash amount to be distributed to the charitable Company, can be reliably measured. Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is recetvable. Page 19
