TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE 202425 FINANCIAL YEAR

Message From The CEO

This is my last message as CEO of Juno Women’s Aid as I will have stepped down at the end of March 2025 and be handing over the reins to my successor, Paula Clarke.

This past year has been a period of continued growth for Juno WA. This growth has, and continues to be, in relation to demand for, and an expansion of, the range of services we provide, the number of victim-survivors we support each year and our knowledge of what works best for victim-survivors of DVA. During this time, we have also seen continued growth in our income and purchased properties. We have grown, but our focus remains firmly on adhering to our feminist principles, grassroots values and vision, and in providing services that are trauma-informed and support long-term recovery.

It is testament to the dedication and commitment of Juno’s staff, volunteers and trustees that we have continued to deliver vital services to women, children and young people in Nottingham and South Nottinghamshire during yet another incredibly busy and challenging year. The Board and I wish to thank all staff, trustees, volunteers and partners for their contribution, support and commitment to tackling domestic abuse.

It has been an immense privilege and honour to lead Juno over the past 6 and half years and I want to extend my sincere thanks to the trustees, staff and volunteers for all their support during this time. Finally, I want to pay tribute to the women, children and young people who use our services – those who quietly called our Helpline or emailed and texted with us to get advice, those who continued to pursue our specialised recovery courses and those who were admitted to our refuges. These women are brave, they make the hardest decisions it is possible to take in order to protect their children and others, and many go on to survive and heal with dignity. We are deeply honoured that they take that chance and reach out to Juno as a partner on that journey.

I wish everyone at Juno every success in the future.

Yasmin Rehman (Chief Executive Officer)

Message From The Chair Of Our Board of Trustees

The Trustees commend to you this report for the year 2024-25 and take the opportunity to thank our CEO, Yasmin, the Senior Leadership Team, all staff, volunteers, commissioners,

Annual Report & Financial Statement 2024-25 Charity No. 1094012 (limited by guarantee) Company No. 4305710 (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)

funders, donors, partners and other stakeholders who have enabled us to provide such a range of services for so many women and their children throughout this year.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and scrutiny of the organisation, ensuring that it is effective, legally compliant and continuing to meet its charitable objectives while continuously working to extend the reach and range of services we offer. The Trustees have continued to have an excellent relationship with Yasmin and the Senior Leadership Team to whom we provide challenge and support.

As my 3 year tenure as Chair of the Board of Trustees draws to a close I have reflected on the growth across the organisation and of particular note is that we end the year being able to provide individual homes for ? women and their children in properties that we own. This significant addition to the range of services provided will be part of Yasmin’s amazing legacy. We would like to thank Yasmin for her vision, energy and leadership over the last 6 years and wish her well in the next chapter.

Sue Gregory (Chair of the Board of Trustees)

Charitable Objectives

The principle objectives and activities of the charity are to enable women, teenagers, children and pets living with domestic abuse to be safer, to leave the abusive relationship and to rebuild their lives with hope for the future.

Our Strategies

Fundraising, Communications and Marketing

Juno Women’s Aid is committed to using its voice to raise awareness, educate, and drive systemic change. We work to ensure all survivors can access the support they need— wherever they are and however they are able to communicate. Through strong relationships

Annual Report & Financial Statement 2024-25 Charity No. 1094012 (limited by guarantee) Company No. 4305710 (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)

and a trusted reputation, we continue to diversify our income, sustain vital services, and develop new, responsive support pathways.

In 2025–2026, we will focus on diversifying income through innovative fundraising initiatives, expanding our reach across sectors and communities, and raising Juno’s profile through targeted communications, events, and a strategic blend of digital and traditional media.

Safeguarding

Juno Women’s Aid has always been committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all of our service users and employees. Safeguarding strategies included providing staff with relevant and up-to-date training, creating and maintaining clear safeguarding policies in line with The Children's Act, The Care Act, and the Domestic Abuse Act, and setting long term objectives around reporting and confidence when carrying out assessments. A safeguarding subgroup, which reports in to the Quality & Performance Committee, has been reformed as of March 2025. It will meet quarterly, and focus on the safeguarding strategy mentioned to ensure that Juno maintain compliancy. Juno Women’s Aid received the SafeLives Leading Lights Accreditation in November 2022 and the Women’s Aid England (WAE) National Quality Standards in September 2024. Both accreditations are up for renewal in November 2025 (SafeLives) and June 2026 (WAE). As part of the standards Juno’s safeguarding policies and procedures for Adults and Children will be assessed.

Human Resources, Staff Welfare and Volunteers

Juno Women’s Aid is dedicated to empowering staff development by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and capabilities to drive continuous improvement in performance. We remain committed to the ongoing implementation of Juno’s HR Strategy and Action Plan for 2022-2027, which encompasses a range of staff development and training initiatives.

As part of our commitment to organisational development, we continue to invest in increasing the number of staff enrolled in professional qualification training within the domestic abuse sector. In the past year, 18 members of staff completed formal, accredited training in IDVA, YPVA, and OML, in addition to the internal and non-accredited training sessions attended by other staff members. Our corporate induction programme for new staff has proven to be highly successful. The induction includes comprehensive training on Juno Women’s Aid as an organisation, domestic abuse, supporting survivors, the needs-led model (Change that Lasts), as well as quality, monitoring and performance, IT, data protection, general health and safety, and employee wellbeing.

Our Lead HR Trustee and Head of HR meet regularly to review and assess performance in relation to our HR Strategy. When appropriate, they also deliver in-house training to enhance the Leadership Team’s understanding and implementation of HR policies, ensuring alignment with legislative developments. The strategic priorities outlined in our HR

Strategy are designed to drive the necessary changes to support Juno Women’s Aid in achieving its overarching strategic objectives. We remain firmly committed to equality of opportunity, valuing diversity, and promoting inclusion. The HR Strategy is a testament to our dedication to providing an exceptional experience for the women who work and volunteer with us. Juno Women’s Aid is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer.

Juno Women’s Aid has been collaborating with colleagues from the Nottingham Business School and the Department of Psychology at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) to assess staff wellbeing. This collaboration involved consultations with staff and a review of wellbeing practices within our sector. As a result, we developed our Juno Employee Wellbeing Policy. The next Wellbeing Survey is scheduled to be rolled out in Spring 2025.

We have successfully appointed and inducted 35 new employees across a range of roles, including frontline, back office, and management positions. In addition, we have utilised the support of four temporary agency staff, three of whom transitioned to permanent roles within Juno, representing a 75% conversion rate. Over the past year, six employees have been promoted or transitioned into more senior roles. Additionally, four employees have been assigned to acting-up roles to further develop their skills and capabilities. Staff turnover for the year stood at 31%. The majority of departures were voluntary resignations (63%), indicating a need for a closer examination of factors influencing employee retention.

Over the past year, we have continued to expand and diversify our team of volunteers. We now have 29 active volunteers, with an additional 4 currently onboarding. This year, we successfully trained 16 volunteers and provided consistent opportunities for them to engage with the organisation and one another. There are also 13 active trustees and 47 pet fosterers.

We ensured that volunteers received relevant training and development tailored to their roles, while also acknowledging and expressing our gratitude for their contributions. As part of our volunteer retention efforts, we had 6 positive volunteer exits, with one volunteer advancing to employment within Juno.

In addition, we completed a highly successful corporate volunteering initiative in collaboration with Tank, a creative agency based in Nottingham. During this project, a team of women from Tank spent two days at the Juno office, supporting efforts in communications, fundraising, and social media.

We also collaborated with Nottingham Trent University and the University of Nottingham, which led to the development of a research project for a fully funded PhD examining the impact of volunteering on survivors. We have successfully recruited a student to undertake this research, and Juno’s Team Manager for Volunteers will serve as the Community Supervisor for the project.

Furthermore, we have continued to create new volunteering roles, matching volunteer skills with opportunities that enhance the services we offer. Volunteers have contributed to Sirona Homes projects, including gardening at one of their properties and creating welcome packs for Sirona Homes residents.

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we have reviewed and updated our volunteering policy and will be revisiting and updating our volunteering strategy in 2025.

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Juno Women’s Aid has a zero tolerance approach to all forms of unlawful discrimination. We are fully committed to embedding equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in all our policies and activities as an employer, a service provider and a procurer of contracts and services.

‘All Women Matter’ sets out Juno Women’s Aid’s Vision, Commitment and Approach towards Equality, Diversity and Inclusion over the next five years. Driving real change requires long-term commitment and that all of us push beyond comfortable boundaries. We must begin the journey examining our own culture and talent practices, but we cannot be content to stop there. We must use our voice and work with others to advocate for change. Juno Women’s Aid’s vision is of a world where women, young people and children live their lives free from domestic and sexual abuse and violence. We believe that the principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are integral to this and the services we provide.

Our Plan For The Future

Juno Women's Aid continues to be committed in meeting the changing needs of our service users and to ensure we remain sustainable in an uncertain financial landscape.

As the interim CEO the next 18 months will be a period of stabilisation. This means taking time to strengthen what we already have — putting a spotlight on our existing services and making sure they’re the best they can be. Ensuring that more recent projects we have taken on have the space to grow and develop. We’re focusing on quality in everything we do and that the support and safety we provide for women, children and young people is not only consistent, but delivered with excellence and care.

We continue to acquire properties from our social investment and ensuring survivors and their families can put down safe roots and rebuild after trauma. Our sister organisation Sirona Homes is now established and we continue to support them to become a registered housing provider.

One of our main objectives over the coming year will be about survivor engagement — to make sure survivors feel seen, heard, and actively involved in shaping how we support

Annual Report & Financial Statement 2024-25 Charity No. 1094012 (limited by guarantee) Company No. 4305710 (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)

them. We want to be more responsive, more thoughtful, and more connected to their lived experiences.

Despite financial uncertainty in our sector, this remains a hopeful time for Juno. We are inspired by the resilience of the women, children and young people we support, and remain committed to a feminist approach that builds a future rooted in safety, dignity, and hope.

Our Quality Assurance

Juno Women’s Aid continues to place quality and standards high on its priorities, to ensure that women and children in need of support receive the best possible services and that the organisation learns from practice.

Originally established in 2020 the Quality Assurance Committee brings governance and oversight to work to ensure best practice. The group is chaired by Trustee Helen Jebb with two additional trustees attending, along with the CEO and SLT. The work of the group is at a strategic level bringing rigour to audit and improvement activity, ensuring that where necessary changes are made, and that the organisation learns. Establishing a learning culture has been at the heart of the work.

A Quality Improvement Plan and an audit schedule prioritises activity that ensures alignment to the standards set by the Women’s Aid Quality Standard and the Safe Lives Leading Lights.

Structure, Governance and Management

Juno Women's Aid is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 15th October 2001 and registered as a charity in 2002. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which establishes the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. The Articles were amended in August 2023 to reflect new ways of working within the Board of Trustees.

The Directors (Members) of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law. Trustees are appointed to serve for a period of three years after which can be re-appointed. A trustee can serve for a maximum of three terms (9 years). The Chair of the Board is also elected for a period of three years. There are a number of Trustees coming to the end of their first three year term of office and it is anticipated that the majority will continue for a further three years. The Chair of the Board will also come to the end of her three year term as Chair and the current Vice-Chair been elected as the Chair from 1[st] April 2025 by the Trustees. A new Vice-Chair is being sought from within the Board.

The BoT is responsible for overseeing the strategic direction and policy of the charity and delegates the responsibility for the day to day operation to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The Chair of the Board carries out monthly supervisions with the CEO.

The Board met six times during the year for its regular meetings.

The BoT receives written performance and themed reports and proposals from the CEO and Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to ensure decision-making is evidence and risk based as well as costed. Trustees also undertake in-depth strategic work in committees which meet regularly and report to the Board.

These committees are:

• Finance & Fundraising (Chair -Treasurer, two further trustees, CEO, Director of Finance & Fundraising)

• Quality & Performance (Chair – trustee, two further trustees, CEO, Deputy CEO, Head of Quality, Compliance & Performance)

• A new Housing & Property Committee was set up in March 2024 with its main purpose is to:

• Receive update and assurance on the contracts with Social and Sustainable Housing (SASH) and Winner Trading Ltd

• Approve the purchase of properties on behalf of Juno WA and report and escalate risk with mitigation to the Board of Trustees

Annual Report & Financial Statement 2024-25 Charity No. 1094012 (limited by guarantee) Company No. 4305710 (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)

• Receive update and assurance on existing properties and buildings which Juno occupy, lease, or let.

• Oversee Health and Safety for all buildings, staff and tenants or licensees.

The Committee meets monthly and has developed its knowledge and experience of property purchasing and monitoring. They were extremely pleased when the first properties were occupied in January and look forward to many more being purchased and occupied to make a difference to the women Juno supports. The Committee recognises its purpose and remit will be reviewed when the charity Sirona Homes CIO develops it ability to take on the role of Registered Social Landlord.

Membership of the Committee is the Chair of Juno Board, Treasurer, Juno/Sirona Homes link trustee, CEO, Director of Finance & Fundraising.

• Notts Women’s Centre renovations

The CEO and SLT ensure that Juno Women's Aid delivers high quality services, meets contractual obligations and conditions of grant aid and provides safe and secure conditions

Annual Report & Financial Statement 2024-25 Charity No. 1094012 (limited by guarantee) Company No. 4305710 (limited by guarantee and not having a share capital)

of employment and placement for the staff and volunteer team including supervision, support and continuous development of their skills and knowledge.

SLT meets weekly, and includes a CEO, Deputy CEO, Director of Finance and Business Support, Heads of HR and Quality Compliance And Performance, and Operational Heads of Service. Team Managers are responsible for the running of day-to-day activities with their staff who deliver services to women, teenagers (young people) and children living in the community and our refuge accommodation. Full Management Team Meetings are held monthly. The activities of the organisation are supported by a core team which provides administrative, business, communications, finance, human resources and performance information.

Recruitment of Trustees and Training

Juno Women's Aid recruits women to the Board of Trustees who have skills, knowledge and commitment to take overall responsibility for the organisation.

All prospective trustees receive information about Juno Women's Aid, the range of services it provides and its values and ethos. Prospective trustees meet informally with the Governance Manager and then formally with the Chair and Vice-Chair prior to their appointment being approved by the Board. On appointment, new trustees are provided with an induction pack which contains:

 Governance Manual

• The legal framework of the charity including the Articles of Association

• The current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts

• Relevant strategies and policies

No new trustees were appointed to the Board during 2024-25, and a recruitment drive is planned to fill the two vacancies on the Board. The new trustee appointed in March 2024 has attended a ‘Being a Trustee’ course provided by provided by Nottingham Community and Voluntary Services and also the corporate staff induction at Juno in April 2024. Other training opportunities are available to all trustees. Trustees are invited to meet with services provided by Juno Women's Aid in order to familiarise themselves with the charity, the various projects and the context within which they operate. Trustees have also attended the All Staff Away Days.

The skills audit of trustees is updated every two years and this will be carried out in the summer of 2025. Gaps identified in skills are being addressed and used to target recruitment of new trustees. Trustees have utilized their skills to provide guidance to the CEO and Senior Leadership Team on specific projects in addition to their governance role e.g. a trustee is

leading the revision of the Fundraising Strategy. The Board seeks to ensure that trustees have sufficient skills, knowledge and experience required to run a medium sized charity.

Arrangements for setting pay and remuneration of key management personnel

Juno aims to create a high performance culture, ensuring that we have expert, knowledgeable staff who are appropriately motivated, incentivised and supported to deliver and show excellent performance. In doing this we will:

• Deliver performance management processes which are fit for purpose, uniformly applied and aligned to support delivery of wider people management objectives

• Ensure that our Terms and Conditions of Employment and other benefits are competitive within the women’s sector as we compete for the recruitment, motivation and retention of staff. This will be achieved through:

• a) Benchmarking of our approach to pay and reward on at least an annual basis, both across the sector and in our local area.

• b) Maintaining a commitment to recognise exceptional performance and contribution of individuals and teams.

• c) Recognising professional accreditation and considering new approaches to excellence.

• d) Ensuring honesty in assessment and feedback as provided through the annual performance review process.

Risk Management

The BoT actively and routinely reviews all major risks to which the charity is exposed and these are documented in a risk register. The register details risks, their assessment, controls in place, net risks, responsibilities and review process. Areas of risk included are governance, operations, finance, human resources, external environment, legal and regulatory, reputation, disaster recovery, and planning. The plan includes events that are unlikely but would have very high impact were they to occur as well as an organisational risk register, risk management plans are put in place for new contracts and current key risks are reported by the CEO at each meeting of the BoT and discussed at the relevant committees. The Board is very aware of the dynamic nature of risk in the environment in which we operate.

Financial Review

The charity's total income for 2024-25 amounted to £3,491,798 (2023-24 £3,339,960). Its assets are available and adequate to fulfil its obligations. Total expenditure amounted to £3,606,758 (2023-2024: £3,499,243). The net incoming resources for the year after unrealised gains/losses amounted to -£114,960 (2023-24 -£159,283). A gain on investment of £25,636 means an overall final figure of -£89,324.

The total reserves at 31st March 2025 amount to £1,067,087, of which £NIL is allocated to restricted funds leaving £1,067,087 retained as total unrestricted funds, which included designated funds of £692,093.

Free reserves at 31st March 2025 were £461,278 (2023-24 £279,915), which are made up of general unrestricted funds less tangible assets.

Principal Funding Sources

Juno Women's Aid has continued to receive funds from a wide range of sources and a summary of our principle sources is laid out below:

• Nottingham City Council (CDP) – £1,726,224

• Nottingham City Council – £223

• Nottinghamshire County Council – £1,462,353

• Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner – £24,490

• Grants: Notts Community Foundation, Garfield Weston, and Oak Foundation - £35,927

Reserves Policy

The BoT has examined the charities requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed, should equate to 3-6 months projected expenditure. At that level the charity should, in the event of decline in funding, be able to continue all activities until funding is replaced or activities altered. Money from reserves has been designated for development work which has not been possible in previous years. A level of core activities is funded from unrestricted reserves. Current reserves are £1,067,087 which equates to approximately 5 months project expenditure. This includes £692,093 which has been designated for specific items of expenditure.

Investment Policy

Under the terms of the memorandum and articles of association, the charity may invest monies of Juno Women's Aid not immediately required for it's own purposes. Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long term investment. Having considered the option available, the BoT decided to invest the amount that it has available in unit trusts

managed by St James's Place Wealth Management and Handelsbanken. The performance of the unit trusts account has shown a net gain of £25,636 during this financial year.

Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustee's annual report for financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UKGAAP).

Company law requires the BoT to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources including income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

• Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue business.

• State whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees 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 trustees are 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.

In so far as the trustees are aware at the time of approving our trustees annual report.

There is no relevant audit information which the company's auditors are unaware; and the trustees have taken all the steps that ought to have been taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

This report is prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2020) and in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies as well as compliant with the Charities Commission and Companies House.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JUNO WOMEN'S AID

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Juno Women's Aid (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JUNO WOMEN'S AID

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• the information given in the Trustees' Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or

• sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF JUNO WOMEN'S AID

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements 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 high 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions 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 line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006 and Money Laundering.

We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management and the understatement of revenue. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included:

• Enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities.

• Sample testing on the posting of journals.

• Reviewing meeting minutes, regulatory correspondence and professional fees.

• Detailed substantive testing on the completeness of income.

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 non compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances 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 misrepresentation.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

1. General information

The Charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England and Wales, and consequently does not have share capital. Each trustee is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the Charity in the event of liquidation.

The address of its registered office is: Heathcote Building Heathcoat Street Nottingham England NG1 3AA

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Summary of key accounting policies and estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

2.2 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.

Juno Women's Aid 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.

2.3 Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. The trustees have prepared and reviewed forecasts and are confident that these show that the charity is able to operate within its available resources and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the trustees consider it appropriate to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

(A Company Limited by Guarantee)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity 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 Charity 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 Charity, can be reliably measured.

Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

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.

2.5 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 is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

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

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

2.6 Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

2.7 Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees' meetings and reimbursed expenses.

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.8 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement

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:

Freehold property	- 0 - 20%
Leasehold improvements	- 33%
Fixtures and fittings	- 20%

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.9 Investments

Fixed asset investments are a form of financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction cost and subsequently measured at fair value at the Balance Sheet date. Investment gains and losses, whether realised or unrealised, are combined and presented as ‘Gains/(Losses) on investments’ in the Statement of Financial Activities.

2.10 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.11 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and 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.

2.12 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.13 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.

2.14 Operating leases

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.15 Pensions

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

2.16 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity 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.

Investment income, gains and losses are allocated to the appropriate fund.

2.17 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant and actual results may differ from estimates.

There are no significant estimates or judgements included in the preparation of the financial statements however all judgements are reviewed on an ongoing basis and any revision to an estimate is recognised within the period in which it is revised.
