THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD
TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".
Objectives and activities
Purposes and aims
The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and is therefore governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The directors of the company are also trustees of the charity. Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All of our charitable activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit. Our charitable objectives are:
¢ To provide and maintain a community-based Women’s Centre, by women for women, in the interests of social welfare with the objects of improving the life of women and girls. ¢ To relieve the distress of women and teenage girls who have experienced or are experiencing sexual abuse and sexual violence and/or domestic abuse and support all victims to access appropriate services.
- To educate and raise awareness of these issues. ¢ To train to a professional standard all those that will provide services that further the purposes of the company. The restrictions in the charity's activities imposed by its memorandum and articles of association are that the income and property shall be applied solely towards the promotion of its objects and no portion shall be paid out by way of profit and no member of the charity or its trustees shall receive any remuneration from the charity other than for services rendered or for out-of-pocket expenses.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we have achieved and the outcomes of our work in the last twelve months. This review looks at the success of each project which The Women's Centre Cornwall has undertaken during that period and what benefits they have given to the women and teenage girls it had hoped to help. The review also helps us to ensure that our aims, objectives and activities remain focussed on our stated purposes and give the trustees the opportunity to consider how planned activities will contribute to the aim and objects they have set. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
A review of the charitable activities of The Women's Centre Cornwall over the past twelve months
COVID-19 brought unprecedented challenges, but that did not stop our volunteers and staff from continuing with determination and compassion. The Trustees would like to express their gratitude to all those involved in ensuring that we were still able to be there for those who needed us. Over the year, in line with our charitable objectives, we have undertaken the following activities in order to deliver public benefit:
- Providing high quality support to women and girls
a. Specialist sexual and domestic abuse support b. Support for women involved with the criminal justice system
Cc. Support for women who were homeless/at risk of homelessness
-
Promoting equity of access to services for women in underserved communities
-
Raising awareness of women’s and girl's issues
-

Organisational development 1. Providing high quality support to women and girls
A. Specialist sexual and domestic abuse support
Whilst the pandemic brought many challenges to the organisation, there was a considerable increase in the amount of funding available. These additional resources, and the incredible flexibility of the team, meant that we were able to respond creatively and significantly increase the amount of support offered to women and girls. Helpline
During the first lockdown we increased our helpline sessions from 4 mornings and 1 evening to 6 mornings, including Saturday, and 2 evenings. This was maintained throughout the year and calls rose by 21% to 976. Many new callers sought support around domestic abuse. Both new and regular callers told us that lockdown was massively triggering past experiences. Some women would call in the midst of a panic attack and were supported to ground themselves and offered a safe space to talk. We provided support to numerous women who were feeling suicidal or struggling to manage their self-harm. We were able to support women with these feelings and create safety plans with them.
Specialist 1:1 Support
Our Specialist Support Service provides trauma-informed, psycho-educational, and emotional support over a 20-—26-week period. During Covid, the majority of support delivered this year was telephone-based or online, with a much smaller volume of face-to-face work. In total, over 4,000 support sessions were delivered to 323 adult survivors, 50 girls/young women under 18 and 5 family members.
Offering phone support in particular meant that many women were able to continue accessing support: “Due to having my children at home there was no way | could get out to get my support and | wasn’t sure it would work over the phone, but | really like the phone calls and would consider the phone again as a way to engage in support. The process has completely changed my life, | feel like a different person”.
Young Empowered Women’s Group (YEW)
During the pandemic the YEW Project had to work creatively to support girls/)young women who use the service. Being isolated at home was particularly difficult for these younger women and we provided much of our support via text sessions in order to address privacy and safety concerns.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Our workshops with local artists were replaced with online journaling and creative sessions and we also provided outdoor activities such as bushcraft. Many young women had never been to the woods and really valued this opportunity. Outdoor activities will now continue to be part of our offer for young women. Survivors Forum
Our online Survivors Forum was launched in response to the increased isolation that women experienced during the pandemic and provides opportunities for women to connect and support each other. To ensure safety, the platform is anonymous and moderated. Over 100 women have signed up as members.
“Feeling so alone, that there was no end to it and came across this (the forum). Just wanted to say how much | needed to hear it and feel a little less alone. Thank you xx.” B. Support for Women involved with the Criminal Justice System
Women offenders are generally victims of crimes far more serious than the offences that they have committed. It is very rare that we work with women in the criminal justice system who are not affected by sexual violence, exploitation, child sexual abuse or domestic abuse and as such, this service provides a vital entry point for women who would very often not access mainstream sexual/domestic abuse support. Open Service
This year we supported 137 women within our Community Justice service. The women, who were referred by their probation officers, received practical and emotional support from our specialist women’s holistic service as part of their community sentences.
The service we offer is tailored to meet the needs of each individual women and often includes housing advocacy, debt and benefits help, emotional support and help to access other services. With our support they can rebuild their lives and as a result, reoffending rates are reduced. “Is made a huge, huge difference to my life, she (the worker) is a life saver. If it wasn’t for her, | don’t know where | would be now. It’s hard to explain but she’s given me the key skills again, that I’d lost when | was depressed.... She says, ‘lam here to listen’ and she does. | am a better person because of her”
182 women were referred to our Partner Link Service in the past year. The women were victims, ex-partners or new partners of men convicted of domestic abuse who were undertaking the Building Better Relationships group work programme with Probation.
As participation in the service is voluntary, not all women engage with it, so out of those referrals we provided direct support to 73 women in the year.
The service helps women, whether they are in a relationship with the perpetrator or if they have left, to be able to understand what a healthy relationship is, rebuild after an unhealthy relationship and/or identify the right agencies for support. We offer women support with assessing risks, safety planning, understanding healthy relationships, child contact issues and support with children’s services. Following a successful tendering process in late 2020, we have secured a four-year contract with Probation to continue delivering Criminal Justice support to women across Dorset, Devon and Cornwall which commenced in June 2021. Open mentoring
The Open Mentoring Team offers support to women who have offended or who are at risk of offending. The project was created as a direct response to women using our Open Service who asked for additional support during and after their community sentence.
Last year the service supported 75 women with multiple needs including mental health (68), sexual/domestic abuse (61), substance misuse (54) and homelessness/ risk of homelessness (52).
As well as providing emotional support, our Mentors support women to meet their basic needs and access services. In the words of Mentees, the service is described as:

“She’s been someone to talk to on the end of the phone. ... She was sort of signposting to various bits and pieces ... she managed to get a voucher for the local food bank for us because things have been quite hard financially, so it was her that did that.” “No, | mean, just my life, they’ve saved my life. They put it back together, we put it back together, together. That’s an amazing thing you know. ...They are incredible, the service itself, the women that run it. | just | wish that, you know, more people knew about it. Having someone just to say, you know, I'm on your side and to mean it like, we are here we're not getting anything out of it, we are here, you know, for you.” C. Support for women who were homeless/at risk of homelessness Safer Stronger Cornwall Women project (SSC) — Flexible Fund Domestic abuse and sexual violence are key drivers in women’s paths to homelessness. This year we were able to provide direct support for 16 women experiencing homelessness, or who were at risk of homelessness, through a short-term project funded by Safer Stronger Cornwall. Women were supported with a multitude of issues which included mental health, sexual exploitation, modern day slavery, domestic abuse, sexual violence, prostitution, debt and offending. Our workers were able to act as a gateway to housing services for women, often saving women from having to relive trauma by retelling their story time and time again. They advocated, referred, listened to women, patiently worked with them on their issues and challenged the status quo. As a result, there have been positive outcomes for most of the women, which has resulted in many of them being safely housed. For some, the situation is ongoing, but they have been referred into our other services service to continue their work with a mentor or specialist support worker.
“| must add how much you have helped me. Your understanding of my situation was such a massive help to me. | truly believe that your intervention has got me to where | am. Your determination to make people understand the seriousness of my situation was astonishing and like a warrior you kept on fighting for my cause. “
- Promoting equity of access to services for women in underserved communities
We believe that our services should be appropriate for, and accessible to, all women and girls that need them. During the year, we completed our Feminist Community Engagement and Co-Production models which provide our blueprint for this area of work.
A. DIVA’s
DIVAS are a peer education training and social group led by women with learning disabilities and/or autism with the aim of increasing awareness and reporting of sexual violence. We aim to empower the DIVAS to be creative, have fun and reach their potential through participation, training, and volunteering. They specialise in providing training for the police and other professionals and taking part in consultations about services and policy.
The pandemic has been particularly hard for women with learning disabilities/ autism with many mainstream services shutting their doors. We have addressed this gap by focusing on ongoing support for our DIVAs through online support groups and supporting access to a series of community art’s workshops. We accessed IT equipment for DIVA's and trained them in its use. We co-produced a training programme for the safe use of IT and social media with ARC’s Us Too project. This opened up a whole new world for women who had never used the internet before and helped to address some of the additional isolation caused by lockdowns. This has also enabled the DIVAs to become members of both the Cornwall Learning Disability and Autism Partnership Boards and attend online meetings.
“| have got a learning disability, | can do anything anyone else can, with the right support | can do it.”

B. International Women’s Group Despite the temporary disruption of the first lockdown, our International Women’s Group project has been running successfully since the summer. Our Community Engagement Worker and a volunteer have worked with 30 women from Romanian, Bulgarian, Portuguese, or Polish backgrounds.
A particular focus this year has been on supporting women to access basic healthcare, such as pre-natal appointments and registering with a General Practitioner. We have also provided support to enable the women to meet basic and visiting with the Community Larder and providing clothing and blankets right through the winter months.
A highlight this year was our involvement in the innovative multi-agency vaccination day held at Minorca Lane which built on our pre-pandemic partnership with a local GP surgery to deliver International Women’s Health Check days. The day took place at the Minorca Lane site in Bugle, which has suffered from a ‘No go area’ reputation for many years. The multi-agency approach meant that many people with no previous access to health services were not only offered their covid vaccinations but also guidance on the importance of facemasks and social distancing.
C. #nevertoolate
The #nevertoolate project raises awareness about the sexual and domestic abuse experiences of older women. 25% of Cornwall’s population is 65+ with this percentage increasing each year. Cornwall is a highly disadvantaged, isolated rural area, ranked 143 out of 326 Local Authority areas for poverty and deprivation with 17 neighbourhoods among the most deprived in England. This has created a plethora of inequalities for older women, e.g., mobility-lack of transport services is highly correlated with social disadvantage, isolation, and loneliness. These inequalities have been exacerbated by Covid-19 leaving many women lonely, isolated, and dealing with the impact of abuse alone.
The steering group has continued to meet during the year and is now working with agencies including Cornwall Council and Age UK to deliver an older people’s pilot in Newquay. The group aims to reach more older women survivors; increase women’s social networks and IT skills; and enable more women to disclose, reach out and access support.
- Raising awareness of women’s and girl’s issues
In response to the pandemic, we extended our reach to women through our social media channels. We increased our Facebook following by 44% to 3,104, Instagram rose 65% to 1,407 and Twitter grew 37% to 627. Through these channels we were able to inspire and empower women, talk about our work, and keep women informed about relevant services and events. We also undertook numerous media interviews for local and regional newspapers and radio.
Our annual Reclaim the Night event moved online, and 60 women gathered to honour the women who had been killed by male violence over the previous year.
We have been involved in a number of collaborations with Art’s projects this year including Scary Little Girls and Kerpow. These activities help us to reach out to new women and provide positive opportunities for empowerment, celebration, and creativity. We continue to be involved in numerous strategic forums to represent women and girls including Reducing Reoffending Boards, Cornwall Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership Board and Trauma-informed Network Cornwall.
- Training
We continue to ensure that the work we do is of excellent quality and that our staff and volunteers are specially trained. We are an Open College Network accredited Centre and deliver a range of Level 1-3 qualifications to our staff and volunteers. We also deliver a rolling programme of continuing professional development workshops. This year, we had to rapidly expand capacity in order to meet the demands of the pandemic and overall, 65 individual qualifications were achieved.
Training delivered to other agencies included Women’s Trauma-informed Practice and POWER Sexual Violence Train the Trainer. Our online event on Trauma, Women and Criminal Justice was attended by 100 people including police, probation, housing, and women with lived experience. The event covered:

¢ mental health diagnoses
- practitioner approaches on working with trauma
¢ lived experience — the voices of women on their experience of trauma and trauma responsive services.
We received very positive feedback and many requests for the recording of the event. Delegates described it as “brilliant” and “inspiring”.
- Organisational development Having embraced digital as a delivery method at the start of the year, we embarked on a programme to harness IT to improve effectiveness and efficiency across the organisation. Over the year we procured and implemented new databases for case management, fundraising, volunteer management and HR. Following a successful recruitment process, we welcomed three new Trustees to our Board who bring a wealth of experience in marketing and comms, fundraising, project, and risk management.
Financial review
Our income and expenditure grew significantly this year, reflecting the additional work undertaken to respond to the pandemic. Income for the year was £1,085,456 (£849,088 2019/20) and expenditure on charitable activities totaled £980,139 (£827,368 2019/20).
Fundraising
TWCC’s principal sources of funding are charitable trusts, grants, and commissioned services. Our funders provided us with exceptional support this year by showing their confidence in us to respond creatively to the year’s demands and providing additional resources.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s core activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
As part of TWCC’s ongoing commitment to meaningfully addressing barriers to accessing services, the trustees have designated £10,000 of reserves for a new Language Access Fund. This will support our ambition to develop services in a range of languages other than English.
Investment policy
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. The reserves of the charity are placed in interest bearing deposit accounts which are wholly utilised to support existing activities.
Risk management
The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.
Plans for the future Throughout 2021-22 we plan to focus on consolidating our existing projects and continuing our organisational developments. Acknowledgements The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to all the funders that have supported the Centre’s work this year, as well as to all the individuals and groups who have fundraised and donated to us throughout the year.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees, who are also the directors of The Women's Centre Cornwall Ltd for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are 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 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Women's Centre Cornwall Ltd (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2021 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the financial statements, 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 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, 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 Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’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 charity’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.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's 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.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit: - the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and - the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD
Matters on which we are required to report by exception In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or - certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or - the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity'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.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 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 auditor's 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.
As part of our audit work, we obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charity and the sector in which they operate. We determined that the laws and regulations surrounding the safeguarding of vulnerable groups were most significant to the charity as well as the laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and compliance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD
The specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
¢ Discussion with management as to how compliance with these laws and regulations is monitored;
¢ Enquiries of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
¢ Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; ¢ Reviewing minutes of trustee meetings and correspondence with regulators;
¢ Performing audit work in connection with the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries for reasonableness and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
We also communicate relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risk to all engagement team members and remain alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit.
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 is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information The Women's Centre Cornwall Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Peat House, Newham Road, TRURO, Cornwall, TR1 2DP. In the event of winding up, registered members are liable to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 per member towards the debts and liabilities of the charity and the costs and expenses of winding up, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member. At 31 March 2021 there were 92 members.
1.1 Accounting convention The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum & Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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 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. 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 subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Incoming resources 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.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. Resources expended Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities ona basis consistent with the use of resources. Support costs include head office salaries and overheads, and are allocated to charitable activities and funds on the basis of staff hours.

(Continued)
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets costing over £1,000 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:
Leasehold improvements 5% - 33% straight line Plant and 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 net income/(expenditure) for the year.
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 ona net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
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.

(Continued)
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 Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
1.11 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.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall 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.
