TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

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 charity 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:

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.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

A review of the charitable activities of The Women's Centre Cornwall over the past twelve months

Over the year, in line with our charitable objectives, we have undertaken the following activities in order to deliver public benefit:

  1. Providing high quality support to women and girs

  2. a. Specialist sexual and domestic abuse support

  3. a. Support for women invoived with the criminal justice system b. Support for women who were homeless/at risk of homelessness

  4. Promoting equity of access to services for women in underserved communities

  5. Raising awareness of women's and girl's issues

  6. Training

  7. Organisational development

1. Providing high quality support to women and girls

A. Specialist sexual and domestic abuse support

Helpline

Our helpline continued to face high demand, taking over 1100 calis through the year. We continued to provide additional helpline hours for most of the year, but when the additional Covid funding came to an end we reluctantly had to resume our pre-lockdown offer (six sessions per week, with morning and evening availability).

The calls require a high level of knowledge, skill and confidence in our call-handiers. This year we again experienced an increase in the number of callers who need both ‘in the moment’ immediate support, and those who need to be referred into longer-term support. Those needing ‘in the moment’ help include women who are alone and isolated and need to connect to a sympathetic listener and talk through coping with their trauma, and those who need support to find a way to ground themselves during a flashback or panic attack.

Specialist 1:1 Support - Adults

Our Specialist Support Service provides trauma-informed, psycho-educational, and emotional support over a 20— 26-week period, for no fee, with a one practitioner to one survivor ratio (1:1). Wornen engaging in 1:1 support rose 16% to 382. The increase was across all categories of abuse with the highest increases for Childhood Sexual Abuse, Rape and Sexual Assault.

The impact of the pandemic continues to be felt, with many women still preferring phone or online support. We also continue to experience disruptions in delivering support, such as staff being off work due to Covid, and a paucity of suitable venues in the communities across our rural county. Nevertheless, our feedback and evaluations have-found.that what we have delivered has made-a huge difference to women: “The support has been really, really brilliant, life changing in fact. It addressed my childhood issues as well as going beyond more than what | originally came for, thank you.” “This experience has changed my life in a way i did not think possible for years. | never thought i would ever be able to heal and that abuse would dictate my decisions for life. But this experience has changed me and now | control my decisions in a way | never felt | would be able to heal. | now control the impact from my abuse rather than it control me”

With easing of Covid' restrictions, and additional funding from St Breock Wind Farm Community Fund and Cornwall Community Foundation, we were able to run in person Power and Pattem Changing groups in Wadebridge and Bude.

Young Empowered Women’s Group (YEW)

Our YEW Project provides 1:1 support and group work to young women aged 11 upwards. Demand for this service grew steeply this year with 68 young women engaging in support, a rise of 36%.

This year we were able to return to face-to-face work in earnest and group activities included walking, bushcraft and creative writing workshops with inspiring survivor-activist Viv Gordon. Viv worked with the young women to produce a video highlighting their experiences of the criminal justice system that has been presented to Safer Cornwall's Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership Board. We tumed some of the artwork created in these workshops into a banner which the young women proudly carried at the front of our Reclaim The Night march.

Online Survivors Forum

Our innovative 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. As far as we are aware, this is the only sexual and domestic abuse forum available for women in the UK. To ensure safety, the platform is anonymous and moderated. Over 100 women 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 who have offended 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 the work we do with these women is a vital entry point for women who would very often not access mainstream sexual/domestic abuse support.

Open Service

This year TWCC was successful in winning the Ministry of Justice Community Rehabilitation Service contract enabling us to continue supporting women on probation and leaving prison across Dorset, Devon and Cornwall for another four years. In June 2021 we employed our first support worker based inside our closest prison, HMP Eastwood Park in Gloucestershire. This has been invaluable in enabling us to reach women before they are released, and between July 2021 and March 2022 we supported 55 women returning to Dorset, Devon or Cornwall. We have met them on the morning of their release, given them mobile phones and clothes if needed, and helped them on their long journeys to enable them to arrive home safely and make contact with their ‘probation officer.

In total the Open Service supported 205 women this year, offering them holistic, tauma responsive, practical and emotional support on a wide range of issues including housing, mental health, domestic abuse, parenting, substance misuse and education and employment.

“Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Just you being there has given me solace, having someone to talk to, who is genuinely passionate about helping. Thank you for never judging and always trying but mainly being consistent. Just wanted you to know that | appreciate your efforts.” (Woman who accessed support while in prison)

“Amazing having you in my life these past few months, | was literally out of hope, faith, and fight! U have been a big Big help, more than u may realise, and ur faith in me has given me strength....... Its not fair I cant have longer, ur empathy and understanding is what made me able to feel at ease, and u give me it how it, is, u help me keep things simple.... | could go on and on, but im sure u hear it all the time lol, wish u a fantastic Xmas x.” (Text from a woman accessing support) " feel like a different person. | am so much happier.” (Woman who accessed support)

Partner Link

We delivered the Partner Link service for women whose partners or ex-partners were convicted of domestic abuse up to June 2021 when the contract ended and the service was transferred over to be delivered by the probation service (it is critical that when perpetrators of abuse undertake a behaviour change programme, there is continuous, parallel outreach to victim/survivors for the length of the programme). One staff member was TUPE'd across to probation but the remaining staff stayed with TWCC. During this period we supported 85 women in the Partner Link service.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

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.

in this year the service supported 37 women with multiple needs including mental health, sexual/domestic abuse, substance misuse and homelessness/ risk of homelessness.

During this time frame we have run two Mentor Training courses with a total of 13 women completing the training.

in November 2021 the Open Mentoring Service won the Community Award for the Women's Category from the Howard League for Penal Reform. On accepting the award our Mentoring Co-ordinator Penni Charteress said:

“This is a project very close to my heart as | started as a volunteer mentor two years ago and | am now the Mentor Coordinator. | must say that it is an absolute pleasure and a privilege to work alongside these women, Many of our mentors have lived experience of the criminal justice system, domestic violence, sexual violence and/or childhood sexual abuse. This award really is a recognition of the work that our mentors do, who are all volunteers. Without them the Open Mentoring Service wouldn't be the success it is today, so a big thanks goes to them.”

As weil 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:

“| am feeling positive about the future. Mentoring has been vital to my recovery and support. Having someone to advocate on my behalf and offer clarity in a very messy situation has been invaluable.”

“Support from the Mentor Service has helped to facilitate positive changes to my family situation, that wouldn't have occurred otherwise, thank you so much”

C. Support for women who were homeless/at risk of homelessness

We remain committed to providing targeted support for women experiencing or at risk of homelessness as they are very often in that situation as a result of abuse and face higher ongoing risks. Having experienced a gap in service once our Safer Stronger Cornwall funding came to an end, we were able to resume and grow this area of work later in the year as a partner in Plymouth-based Trevi’s Spark Project. We provided an ‘assertive outreach’ service across Cornwall and Dorset for 16 women experiencing domestic abuse, exploitation, hornelessness, involvement in the sex industry or other multiple problems.

2. Promoting equity of.access to services for women in under-served communities

We believe that our services should be appropriate for, and accessible to, all women and girls that need them. Our Feminist Community Engagement and Co-Production models provide our blueprint for this area of work.

A. DIVAS

The DIVAS’ own agreed mission statement is:

“A group of women with learning disabilities and autism who fight for their rights against discrimination and abuse and get their voices heard.”

We aim to empower the DIVAS to be creative, have fun and reach their potential through participation, training, and volunteering. As one of the DIVAS group says */ have got a learning disability, | can do anything anyone else can, with the right support | can do it.” Following through with this sentiment, we have supported two of our DIVAS to join our organisation-wide Equity, Diversity and Inclusion sub-group, to which they have brought a wealth of knowledge and innovation.

The DIVAS have had a phenomenal year undertaking national and local consultations and training, and producing several videos.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD TRUSTEES’ REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

DIVAS supported the National Domestic Abuse Commissioner's Office to develop their survey into an accessible format and provided a focus group to enable them to get the voices of women with learning disabilities and neurodiversity included. They also collaborated with Lancaster University to produce a film and poster for a national Claire's Law promotion. During the year, the DIVAS produced three YouTube videos and appeared on Chaos TV’s Hate Crime: Misogyny and Disability programme. The DIVAS also featured in Rape Crisis England and Wales’ report ’Holding it Together: The Courage, Resilience and Innovation of Rape Crisis Centres during Covid 19”, and they took part in the report's national launch in November.

Having grown in confidence using Zoom, the DIVAS delivered their first ever online training (to Cambridge Rape Crisis staff and volunteers) which was very well received: “Just wanted to get in touch straight away to thank you all for a wonderful, insightful and brilliant day's training. And huge thanks to the DIVAS for sharing with us your experiences, stories and knowledge and for being so supportive of us. We ail really hope to meet you again and to keep this conversation going. Everyone here has come away from the day with so much to think about and such positive ways forward ~ thank you.” Norah Al-Ani, Director, Cambridge Rape Grisis Centre

Rounding the year off, the DIVAS were name-checked in Cosmopolitan’s “Disabled women are almost twice as likely to experience sexual assault — so why won't police believe them?” article.

B. International Women’s Group

We have continued to develop our International Women’s Group which aims to promote the inclusion of migrant women within our organisation and to improve our service delivery so that it is accessible to migrant women (this Group was set up in recognition of the fact that migrant women in Cornwall can be very isolated, with very significant barriers to getting support if they are facing abuse).

During the year we successfully recruited and trained several new women and with specialist knowledge of different migrant communities to work directly on the project in paid and volunteer roles. The team Jaunched three new Facebook groups in Romanian, Bulgarian and Portuguese which have so far attracted over 400 members.

Towards the end of the year, the team began working on a Cornwall Council funded project to look at how services can better respond to European women experiencing sexual/domestic abuse, particularly where fanguage is a barrier. An initial review around the use of interpreters and language specialists has been used to inform a wider community engagement and coproduction exercise which will be completed by March 2023.

Cc. # nevertoolate

The Error in formula ->#nevertoolate<- project raises awareness about the sexual and domestic abuse experiences of older women. Our main activity this year has been delivering the Older People’s Pilot Project alongside Cornwall Council and Age UK. The pilot was publicly launched at the Safeguarding Adults Board Conference in late November, enabling us to highlight to a wide range of organisations the stereotypes and discrimination faced by older people experiencing abuse currently or historically. Our Community Engagement Manager and four newly recruited and trained Age UK Community Engagement Workers have made contact with key organisations in the local community. The aim is to gain contact with the widest range of older people so that accessibility and intersectionality are included in our understanding of what a good Domestic Abuse and Sexual Abuse service will ook like. Interviews with older people commenced in May 2022.

3. Raising awareness of women’s and girls’ issues

In response to the pandemic, we extended our reach te women through our social media channels and this has continued to grow throughout 2021-22. We increased our Facebook following by 33% to 4,114, Instagram rose 39% and Twitter grew 18%. Our Facebook reach grew by 99% to 149,794 and our Instagram reach rose 127% to 4,459. Through these channels and our enhanced reach, we were able to inspire and empower women, spread essential messages challenging the excuses that are made for abuse, raise awareness 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. Social media is now a significant point of referral and new enquiries for our support. Our annual Reclaim The Night event moved back to an in-person vigil and march, with over 200 people attending to honour women killed by male violence and march to demand safety and justice for survivors.

We continue to be involved in numerous strategic forums to represent women and girls including Reducing Reoffending Boards, and Safer Cornwall's Domestic Abuse and Sexual Violence Partnership, where we inform policy leads and commissioners about the drivers of abuse and survivors’ experiences and needs.

4. Training

We continue to ensure that the work we do is of excellent quality and that our staff and volunteers have specialist training. 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, which included a new Suicide Prevention session this year.

Training delivered to other agencies included ‘Be The Change: Creating a Safer Environment for Students’ training delivered to local College around consent, pornography and sexual harassment. We have since been invited back to facilitate a series of assemblies to students around similar issues. We have also delivered ‘Responding to Disclosures of Violence and Abuse’ training to Cornwall Carers Network. We received very positive feedback; “The training was excellent, thank you — very informative and thought-provoking.” and “the best training | have been to in a very long time’.

5. Organisational Development

Volunteering provides a solid route into employment for many women, either into roles within TWCC or externally. As part of our continuing improvements to inclusion, we spent time consulting and reviewing our volunteering routes, and this year diversified our volunteering options so that a shorter, non-accredited route is available for some roles. Many women progress into our accredited volunteering programme but this can be an important first step for building confidence for some.

We successfully attained the One Small Thing Trauma Quality Mark, which evidences that the 5 core traumainformed values of Safety, Trustworthiness, Choice, Collaboration and Empowerment are implemented across the whole organisation’s culture, practice and environment.

Other Funders during the year were

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.

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 future periods

Following the success of our online survivors forum and feedback from members we will be relaunching the service as a mobile app for Windows and Android devices. We will continue to monitor the emerging needs of women and girls in our communities and adapt our services as needed.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD 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 2022 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:

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.

The impact of macro-economic uncertainties on our audit

Our audit of the financial statements requires us to obtain an understanding of all relevant uncertainties, including those arising as a consequence of the effects of macro-economic uncertainties such as Covid-19 and Brexit. All audits assess and challenge the reasonableness of estimates made by the directors and the related disclosures and the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation of the financial statements. All of these depend on assessments of the future economic environment and the company’s future prospects and performance.

Covid-19 and Brexit are amongst the most significant economic events currently faced by the UK, and at the date of this report their effects are subject to unprecedented levels of uncertainty, with the full range of possible outcomes and their impacts unknown. We applied a standardised firm-wide approach in response to these uncertainties when assessing the company’s future prospects and performance. However, no audit should be expected to predict the unknowable factors or ail possible future implications for a company associated with these particular events.

Conclusions relating to going concern

in auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concer 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.

In our evaluation of the directors’ conclusion, we considered the risks associated with the company’s business, including effects arising from macro-economic uncertainties such as Covid-19 and Brexit. We analysed how those risks might affect the company's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. In accordance with the above, we have nothing to report in these respects.

However, as we cannot predict all future eventsor conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the absence of reference to a material uncertainty in this auditor's report is not a guarantee that the company will continue in operation.

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

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.

in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in 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:

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 concem and using the going concem 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.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD

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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

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 for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https:/Avww.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-andqguidance/Standards-and-quidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditorsresponsibilities-for-audit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Charity information

The Women's Centre Comwall Ltd is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Peat House, Newham Road, TRURO, Cormwall, 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 2022 there were 89 members.

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.

THE WOMEN'S CENTRE CORNWALL LTD

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

(Continued)

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 are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

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 on a 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.

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 the statement of financial activities.

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 Accounting policies

(Continued)

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 fiabilities 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.

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 arnortised 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.

----- Start of picture text -----
.
----- End of picture text -----

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

1.41 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.
