TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the company for the year 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. The annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Since the company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Policies and objectives

The principal object of the company is to relieve distress and suffering among women who have been ill treated by their partners, co-habitees, husbands or fathers of their children and to assist children and others affected by such maltreatment and to seek ways to prevent such harm and to provide relief including education, housing and other support for those in necessitous circumstances and to undertake any other charitable purpose.

These services are to benefit women and children who have been affected by domestic abuse or sexual violence.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

Strategies for achieving objectives

The EVA Women's Aid business plan is the document that sets the objectives for the organisation. It is reviewed regularly by the Board of Trustees and the Chief Executive Officer who set key outcomes for the organisation with which to measure achievement of its objectives. The Chief Executive Officer reports on performance indicators to the Board at quarterly meetings and chairs internal staff meetings where key results are discussed and reported on.

A new Strategic Business Plan was created with effect from early 2023 and has been ratified by the Board of Trustees. A new plan will be written prior to expiry in 2026.

Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

To achieve its objectives the company provides supported safe accommodation services, outreach and advocacy, counselling services, and rape support services.

Volunteers

The work of Eva continues to be supported by our committed volunteers.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Main achievements of the company

Key performance indicators

Review of activities

EVA applies for grant funding to ensure services offered continue. We receive occasional donations and undertake a limited amount of our own fundraising.

In early 2023, EVA purchased seven self-contained flats and using funding from four successful grant applications. The refurbishment was completed in Summer 2023 and an Open Event was held where stakeholders and interested parties were invited to view one of the ground floor flats. It was well attended and opened by the Mayor. The flats opened for residents shortly afterwards.

During the year income was received to support our services, including three Safe Houses, outreach, advocacy and counselling. Our main funders were Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council, Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner and the National Lottery.

EVA engages staff with a range of qualifications to provide the highest standard of support. We have Professional Surgeries, a drop in facility at our High Street premises, and deliver nationally accredited programmes as well as our own bespoke programmes. EVA has a Mental Health Support Worker, a Fitness and Wellbeing Worker, a Move-on Support Worker and an Advice and Guidance service. EVA operates a full Counselling Service which includes Children and Young People Counselling (4-18 years, all genders) and Adult Counselling (women of all ages), delivered by both paid Staff and Volunteers. Staff have accessed a range of training opportunities during the year when capacity and budget allow.

Our main office is open to the community four days each week, 9am-2pm. The office is used by Staff on other occasions but the main doors are not open for visitors.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Financial review

Going concern

The company has increased their unrestricted reserves and has produced forecasts for 24/25 which show the company increasing the surplus. Future plans should ensure that the financial position continues to improve. The Trustees therefore consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

Reserves policy

At the year end the company has restricted funds of £568,658 of which £527,957 are fixed assets and the loan secured on these assets, the balance being funds to spend.

There are unrestricted funds of £76,523, of which £50,000 has been designated to cover redundancy, sickness and maternity pay.

The general operating fund is sufficient to cover 3 months running costs should further funding not be obtained.

We are aiming to achieve funding levels higher than expenditure on an annual basis to enable reserves to be rebuilt.

Financial Position

The company made a surplus in the year of £33,494 on its restricted funds, unrestricted funds made a deficit in the year of £1,463 giving an overall surplus of £32,031.

The company has investments and cash of £170,051 and a loan of £249,868.

The reserves policy above sets out the position at the year end and the going concern notes explain actions taken to improve the financial position.

Investment policy and performance

High risk investments are inappropriate for EVA, and as such surplus funds continue to be held in a low risk deposit account. Research is undertaken to maximise investment earnings.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EVA WOMEN'S AID LIMITED ('THE COMPANY')

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the Trustees of the company (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the company's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

Since the company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

The company is a company limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 1. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the company.

Registered number: 03938731 Charity number: 1088469

The registered office address is:

86 High Street Redcar TS10 3DL

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Eva Women's Aid Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Going concern

The company has increased their unrestricted reserves and has produced forecasts for 23/24 which show the company increasing the surplus. Future plans should ensure that the financial position continues to improve. The Trustees therefore consider that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

EVA WOMEN'S AID LIMITED

(A company limited by guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

2.3 Income

All income is recognised once the company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

The recognition of income from legacies is dependent on establishing entitlement, the probability of receipt and the ability to estimate with sufficient accuracy the amount receivable. Evidence of entitlement to a legacy exists when the 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 property 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 company, can be reliably measured.

Other income is recognised in the period in which it is receivable and to the extent the goods have been provided or on completion of the service.

2.4 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, 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 on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the company to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

2.6 Financial instruments

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.7 Pensions

The company contributes to a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the company to the fund in respect of the year.

2.8 Fund accounting

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the company for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
