-
¢ We increased our accredited programmes to provide more opportunities for service users to gain recognised qualifications

Our My Ally telephone support line dealt with 176 calls during the year and 48 emails
-
- We established 2 women's support groups and 43 women attended these groups to develop their peer networks and share experiences
-
Our Women’s Advocate attended 52 Community events and 206 women were signposted to WWC services
-
Our team of 14 volunteer counsellors provided 1,356 hours of therapy delivered to a caseload of 85 clients

-
The National Careers Service via Realise Futures contracted the Centre to offer Information, Advice and Guidance sessions to men and women looking to return to work, volunteering, or learning. The funding provided 900 sessions of IAG both remote and face to face and 25% achieved a learning and/or job outcome
Achievements and performance
This year we increased our reach and support for women experiencing domestic abuse through access to telephone, email and peer to peer groups. This access to more immediate practical and emotional support grew our engagement, and early intervention work by 100% compared to the previous year
We worked more closely with JCP and community stakeholders this year to support Afghan refugees and migrants who were housed in hotels and temporary accommodation. We engaged with Hotel Managers, travelled to their accommodation to deliver ESOL programmes and supported them with Employability Skills and knowledge through our Careers Service.
In 2021/22 we were particularly proud to receive a positive MATRIX reassessment with ‘no areas for improvement’ a testimony to the quality of our Customer Service across all provision within the charity. The charity also once again passed the Cyber Essential Plus accreditation which demonstrates the security of our data and MIS systems. Much of the year we focused on challenging fundraising targets for the complete refurbishment of our Premises at Market Street. By 1st April 2022 we had achieved the full target of £75,000 to begin the works which will provide a more welcoming space for service users and staff and create new counselling spaces to accommodate the increased demand for mental health support
Strategically, in addition to the refurbishment of the centre, we began planning for the restructuring of our domestic abuse service following the retirement of our long serving Domestic Abuse Co-Ordinator.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Financial review
Overview
This year's activities have seen an decrease in total reserves of £2,442 from £438,487 to £436,045 of which £94,619 is restricted.
Incoming resources
Total incoming resources for the year ended 31 March 2022 were £493,641, compared with £468,513 for the year to 31 March 2021.
Balance sheet
The Balance Sheet is showing a healthy position with creditors covered by current assets.
Reserves policy
We review our reserves annually. Our aim is to support three months’ running costs for core activities, which we assess to be approximately £85,000 of reserves. However. we consider that we also need an additional reserve calculation based on 25% of annual expenditure. This additional measure ensures we remain able to cover all costs for an orderly wind up of services, in the event that core funding for the Women's Centre should suddenly cease.
Principal sources of income
Our principal sources of income have historically comprised service level agreements, grant funding and project funding. Careful planning ensures that our income is used to best effect to deliver the charity's objects via the management team and in consultation with the Trustees.
Investment policy
We have examined our investment practice this year and will be putting surplus funds on deposit to maximise the income we make from investments over the coming financial year.
Risk management
We have reviewed the possible risks to the charity, each of the sub-groups have assessed the risks relating to their area of work and reported back to the main board. The greatest risk to the charity is still considered to be financial instability; the organisation continues to expand on its income generating work in line with the business plan.
COVID-19
Post Covid the charity, intends to maintain a blended approach to service delivery in order that we can expand our reach and support clients who prefer to access support more flexibly.
The Trustees remain confident that the charitable company will be able to deliver significantly against our aims and objects within the resources that will be available for 2022-23.

Plans for the future

Operating efficiency.

We will continue to work with the Police & Crime Commissioner into 2025 on the delivery of specialist counselling services to victims of sexual and domestic abuse. We will create more opportunities for qualified and experienced counsellors to gain paid work with WWC through this contract and develop case study evidence for the MOJ to evidence the positive impact of this work

WATFORD WOMEN'S CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Watford Women's Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 83 Market Street, Watford, Hertfordshire, WD18 OPT.
1.1 Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's [governing document], the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors 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 aims and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
- 1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

WATFORD WOMEN'S CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
- 1.5 Expenditure
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular purposes they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the company and include project management carried out at Headquarters.
Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the company and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
- Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Land and buildings 2% straight line Office equipment 25% straight line Computer equipment 25% straight line
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
-
1.7. Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
-
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
-
1.9 Financial instruments
-
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

WATFORD WOMEN'S CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
- 1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12 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.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
