> WCWA 02 **Message from the Board of Trustees...** ~~=——~~ WCWA has seen an unprecedented year in 2023/2024. The charity has had to pivot some of its focus to support emerging and critical needs arising in the community. This is primarily due to the cost of living crisis, pushing hundreds of people under the poverty line.
The staff and volunteers have been supporting women and girls as well as their families with Emergency Drives and Food Packs, Care and Hygiene Packs, Household Support Vouchers and sadly bereavement support.
Despite this, WCWA has continued to provide our regular day to day activities and provisions. These are needed more now than ever.
WCWA will continue to be a core and essential provide for women and young girls in the community and in the upcoming year we anticipate to develop the organisation as we move ever closer to our 50th anniversary in a few years time.
## **Rohema Khan, Chair**
## **Thank you**
On behalf of the board of Trustees I would like to thank the staff and our dedicated volunteers without whom this would not be possible.
I would like to thank our funders and grant providers for having faith in us to deliver these essential services.

## **WESTWOOD AND COLDHURST WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION**
## **REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF WESTWOOD AND COLDHURST WOMEN’S ASSOCIATION**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 set out on pages 4 to 7.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
- ~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
- ~ follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
- ~ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 of disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
## **Independent Examiners Statement**
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 March 2024.
I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- ~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
- ~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
