The management committee presents their report and the unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2023. Included within the management committee’s report is the directors’ report as required by company law.
Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the memorandum and articles of association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
## **Objectives and activities**
Our charities purposes as set out in the memorandum of articles are to;
- a) Relieve the stress and suffering of women and children who have suffered or are exposed to domestic violence by the Provision of temporary accommodation and outreach and Aftercare support.
- b) to relieve any woman or child in necessitous circumstances who may be temporarily homeless by making grants of money or providing or paying for items, services or facilities and by the prevention and protection of their mental and physical health in such ways as shall relieve their need
- c) to educate the public in the causes and effects of domestic violence and the prevention thereof, and to undertake or contribute to research. In such matters and publish the useful results of such research
We review our aims and activities each year. We look at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous year. The review looks at success and benefits to the people we are set up to assist and helps us ensure that we are focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commissions general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the objectives they have set.

## **Achievements and performance**
Our main activities and who we try and help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the needs and requirements of all the clients referred to us.
## **Beneficiaries of our services**
Our main activities and who we try and help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the needs and requirements of all the clients referred to us.
We have 14 units of accommodation for women and children escaping domestic abuse. All the staff are specialised trained domestic abuse advocates.
56 women and 30 children were declined due to no space as refuges were full.
Specialist support to women with insecure immigration status and No Recourse to Public Funds, they also tend to stay in the refuge longer because of their specialist support needs.
Due to the lack of space and the issues with accessing social housing, we were not able to offer space to all those referred in. The average length of stay in the refuge has increased considerably over the years.
Staff have expertise in immigration and No Recourse to Public Funds, LGBT, complex needs including drug, mental health, and alcohol issues.
Staff work with the clients on a range of support needs including healthy eating, budgeting, maintaining tenancies and health needs.
As part of the service offered to victims, we offer a 12-week accredited self-esteem and confidence building course. This course is funded by charitable donations and some income made via the charity shop we co-run with Salford Women’s Centre.
## **Professional Training**
We offer professional training to raise practitioner’s awareness of domestic abuse on those directly and indirectly affected. We also offer a one-day course for those signed up to the GMP information sharing protocol on MARAC (Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conference) and DASH, this is to enable practices to confidently complete DASH and refer into MARAC.
Staff also sit on local and regional boards for domestic abuse, VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) and the CPS rape scrutiny panel.
We lecture every year at Salford University on the Coercion and Control Master’s course.

for the year ended 31[st] March 2023
## **Charity shop**
The shop is run in conjunction with Salford Women’s Centre, all profits made in the shop after overheads have been deducted are used to support clients coming into the service. To maximise income, we employ a manager for 21 hours a week to run the shop and support and recruit volunteers.
## **Financial review**
The loss of the tender for other parts of the services impacted on the running of the organisation. We have increased our housing benefit to cover intense support costs. We have applied to many grant making bodies but due to the accounts submitted to the charity commission online showing we had reserves, these have been rejected.
We have applied to the National lottery, and this is looking hopeful as we have got through the first round and will get the final decision in August 2023.
At the end of the financial year, the total reserves of the charity were £275,477, of this £6,047 were restricted funds, being grant funding for specific projects, and £269,430 were unrestricted funds.
## **Designated funds & Reserves policy**
The Management Committee has designated funds to assist with future projects and needs of the service. Some of the funds and reserves have been used to assist with our aims and objectives. Funds have been utilised mainly to support the financial year.
The policy on reserves is that the committee will ensure that there are 6 months running costs in the event of the charity having to wind down.
## **Principle funding sources**
We have been successful on applying for full enhanced housing benefit for the refuges. We are hoping to negotiate with the local authority some of the funds that they have been allocated under the domestic abuse act for safe accommodation.
We have received grants this year to support our work and the health and wellbeing of the residents from screwfix, MOJ, Booths Charity, Swinton Charitable Trust and Salford CVS.
## **Structure, governance and management**
## Recruitment and appointment of management committee
The directors of the company are also charity trustees and for the purposes of charity law and under the charity’s articles are known as members of the Management Committee. The members are elected to serve for three years after which they can be eligible for re-election.
Due to the nature of the work and the safety issues the Management Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of the client group are reflected through the committee, the committee is not able to advertise in a broad sense for members.

## Management committee’s annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2023
## **Induction and training**
Most of the trustee are already familiar with the work of the charity, each member is offered training and induction into issues around domestic abuse and the work of the charity, potential trustees must complete an application form, provide two references and sign a declaration to say they have no vested interest or connections with the charity. This induction and application are overseen by the chair of the charity.
The main documents which set out the operation framework for the charity is the memorandum of articles.
Resourcing and the current financial plans are set out in the latest accounts.
## **Organisational structure**
Salford Women’s Aid has a Management Committee that meets on a bi-monthly basis and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. Currently there are four members who have a wide range of professional skills and knowledge around the issues of domestic abuse and safeguarding.
There is a scheme of delegated authority for the provision of service which rests with the Chief Officer along with the team leaders from both the advocacy and residential projects. The Chief Officer is responsible for ensuring that the aims of the charity are delivered and that key performance indicators are met. The team leaders have day to day responsibility for the operation of the services, individual supervision of the staff teams, and to also ensure that the team continues to work and develop within the policies and procedures of the charity and in line with good practice.
## **Related parties and relationships with other organisations**
The work of the charity is guided by local and national policy. At a national level work around domestic abuse is steered by National indicators and the Home Office Violence Against Women and Girl’s strategy. Locally we are part of the MARAC. The Chief Officer and team leaders are members of many multi-agency groups where we offer guidance and support; we are also part of a multi-agency training pool who delivers training on domestic abuse, and safeguarding adults and children.
## **Risk management**
The Management Group has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. A Risk Register has been established and will mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects for the future.

## Management committee’s annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2023
## **Statement of responsibilities of the management committee**
The members of the management committee (who are also directors of Salford Women’s Aid for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the management committee’s annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the management committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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 preparing these financial statements, the management committee is required to:
- 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
- State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation
The management committee is responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and 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.
The management committee is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.
The management committee’s annual report has been approved by the members of the management committee on 21[st] December 2023 and signed on their behalf by

## to the members of
## Salford Women’s Aid
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2023 which are set out on pages 8 to 29.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts 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 your company’s accounts as 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 Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, 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 that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts 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 accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

Salford Women's Aid
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023
## **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) issued on 16 July 2014 (as updated through Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Salford Women's Aid 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 Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis**
The management committee considers that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.
No key judgments which the management committee has made which have a significant effect on the accounts.
The members of the management committee 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.
11
Salford Women's Aid
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
## **c Income**
Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
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.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Where gifts in kind have been made on trust for conversion into cash e.g. second hand goods for resale, the value of the gift is included in the period in which it is sold. The management committee considers that it is not practicable to value those items awaiting sale at the balance sheet date and believe that the value of them would not be material to the accounts.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **d 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 management committee’s 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.
## **e Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
12
Salford Women's Aid
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
## **f Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.
Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the management committee has decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.
## **g Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of commercial trading including Charity Shop costs and their associated support costs.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.
- Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **h Allocation of support costs**
Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are 60% to Refuge 1 and 40% to Refuge 2 (2022: 20% to Refuge 1, 25% to Refuge 2, 25% to SIDASS, 15% to IRIS, 10% to Mental Health and 5% to positive You).
## **i Operating leases**
Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.
## **j Tangible fixed assets**
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Leasehold improvements 25% All equipment 25%
13
Salford Women's Aid
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023 (continued)
## **k Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
## **l Cash at bank and in hand**
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
## **m Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **n Financial instruments**
The charity 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.
