Mission Statement

TeesValley Women’s Centre is a pioneering grass roots venture providing a one stop shop for women in a safe non-judgmental environment helping to support the wellbeing of local women, improve their quality of life by supplying one to one support, advice & guidance, training, and education, along with employment opportunities, helping to tackle social exclusion. Signposting to outside agencies when necessary.

We are a community-based organization operating across the whole of the Tees Valley area. Working with local colleges, education providers, local Councils, and partner agencies to relieve the stress and hardship faced by our current economic climate, giving women the chance to change their circumstances through the provision of choice and opportunity, knowledge & support.

We have been operating for over 30 years and have helped many women achieve their goals and aspirations, take up employment opportunities, further their educational qualifications or simply help them to have belief in themselves, empowering them to achieve.

We believe when we help a woman, we also help her family as they too benefit from her experience, self-worth, and belief that the impossible can be achieved.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

I Would like to thank all the staff of TVWC for their continued hard work & dedication in making the Women’s Centre a warm and welcoming place for women to access our services.

Whether it’s for emotional, educational, welfare, advice or just a cup of tea we love to see the place starting to be busy once again.

The past couple of years have been a real rollercoaster with Lockdowns and social distancing meaning some of our services could not run. We have now hopefully passed that stage. With the governments ongoing vaccine programme and with covid measures in place we can look forward to helping more women focus on their own self-worth, achieve their goals and aspirations, and enable them to recognise their own potential.

The Centre has seen many changes over the past year mainly due to the pandemic and its restrictions, but we also said a sad goodbye to our Centre Manager (Kathy Lloyd) who retired in September 2021.

Kathy helped to grow the women’s Centre into the successful venture it is today helping local women achieve their goals.

We also welcomed several new executive members to our board of trustees; they all have a great interest in the work we do and are looking forward to new challenges as we embrace new ways of working and adapting to the everchanging support needed by the women in our local community.

I once again would like to thank all the staff, volunteers, board members & partner agencies for their continued dedication & hard work.

Kind regards

K Kaur

- HIGHLIGHTS & ACHEIVEMENTS 2021 22

During the year we were privileged to host an “access to healthcare course” in our Centre. This was a pilot scheme run by Learning Curve Group supplying this pre-university course within the community for the first time.

TVWC was the ideal venue as we had previously ran a successful Health & Social care level 1,2 & 3 courses allowing many women to advance in this field. Of the six beneficiaries who started this course in Sept 2021, 2 dropped out due to family circumstances, the other 4 studied hard and have all been awarded places at our local Teesside University to further their studies and reach their full potential.

The availability of our onsite creche facility was a major factor in these ladies being able to study without the worry of childcare, and the safe, welcoming, nonjudgmental ethos of the Centre created a great atmosphere for them to study in.

I have been doing courses with learning curve TVWC for over two years. I would recommend using this Centre to any woman. It has given me help in all aspects of life from giving me more confidence to build up my self-esteem. I have met other women in the same situations as I have been making friendships and the staff and tutors are so encouraging

in helping you believe in yourself. From doing courses the last couple of years or so, I am now doing a HE diploma to Health at the Women’s Centre. None of this would have been possible if it wasn’t for the TVWC and the excellent opportunities it has given me. I have just put my application in for Teesside university and see the future for myself as a mental health nurse, something that wouldn’t have been achievable if it wasn’t for the Centre and all the great work it does for women in the community. The creche is an amazing facility with helping women get on the path to returning to education and work, without this I would have not been able to get where I am today. My two-year-old daughter has been attending the creche since she was 8 weeks old and loves being with the other children and the staff are caring and very thoughtful. I will be forever grateful for all the support this Centre has given me and hope it’s here for many years to come, giving women from all aspects a chance to grow and have a future.

Priorities / Provisions -2022/23

Due to the recent Covid epidemic the Centre did not run at full capacity due to the lockdowns and limiting the number of people allowed in the building at any one time. Hopefully during the coming year, we can get back to some sort of normality and warmly welcome all women to the Centre. In the coming year we aim to:

Managers Report Debby Winstanley (January- March 2022)
Main Provision: During 2021/22 The Centre went through a number of changes, some due to
the Covid Pandemic, others as a natural progression.
Our Manager Kathy Lloyd retired in Sept 2021, which was a sad occurrence for all of us here at
the Centre as she had been manager for over 18 yrs. and was an integral part of all the work we do
here at the Centre.
In January 2022 I was appointed as Centre & Finance Manager.
Because the Centre had to close during the government lockdowns our services were greatly hit,
and attendance was very low, also the availability of courses (from local providers) declined due
to Covid restrictions.
It is taking time to get the women to return to our services.
Due to all the uncertainty surrounding the pandemic we have found that some women were
needing to get out and meet other people for their own mental stability, other women were very
reluctant to venture into the outside world again.
We feel this will be the case for a while longer but hopefully we will get back to our previous high.
We are continuously re-evaluating the services we offer and going forward we have identified a
greater need for more holistic services within the Centre working more around women’s mental
health, well-being and anxiety problems which have exacerbated since the pandemic.
We currently have around 1165 women on our database, most of whom have completed either a
leisure or academic course with us.
Our crèche facility continues to be well used and continued to stay open despite the many
challenges and pitfalls faced during the Pandemic, helping to provide essential childcare for
working parents and essential workers.
Our affordable childcare is well attended, providing a lifeline for working parents.
We are looking into the possibility of keeping the creche open later in the evening (5:30)
dependent on demand.
TVWC will continue to try and meet the needs of all women across the Tees Valley area by
continuing to provide training, learning opportunities, access to employment, enterprise
opportunities and a one stop shop facility, helping to tackle the social, community and economic
issues faced by women.
A big thank you to staff, volunteers, funders, partners, and training providers for your continued
support especially during the trying times of the last few years -
“Without you we could not make it happen.”

Managers’ Report Continued:

Safeguards

TVWC follows recognised policies and procedures when dealing with vulnerable women. TVWC provides appropriate training to staff, DBS checks and supervision for both staff and volunteers to ensure this safeguard. Our crèche also follows recognised “safeguarding children” policies and procedures, in line with its OFSTED registration.

General Data Protection Regulations - The charity is GDPR compliant. ICO – TVWC is registered with the ICO.

TVWC employs the services of “Avensure” to assist in complying with its legal obligations in regards to HR services & Health & Safety compliance.

During Covid - TVWC conducted a Covid Risk Assessment on both our building and Services putting in place measures to keep both staff and beneficiaries as safe as possible whilst accessing our services.

Preventative Strategies:

TVWC continues to keep updated and abreast of current political and national issues that could impact on the Centre’s wellbeing from various outside sources including, media, and web, word of mouth and email notifications.

Tees Valley Women’s Centre will conform to all government guidelines regarding the Covid pandemic.

Apprentice Training Programme:

During the year 21-22 we had 1 apprenticeship placement within our creche setting studying for a L3 Childcare qualification. She is expected to complete this in July this year, we will then look to employing her within our creche setting.

Reaches Project:

The Reaches project continues to be an integrated part of Tees Valley Women’s Centre providing support/guidance/signposting and training for women offenders. This project works with women offenders and women at risk of offending with multiple needs

The project is crucial to breaking the cycle of re-offending for women, meeting the 9 pathways to reducing re-offending. The support and training provided by the Women’s Centre is continuous, long after their orders have finished. Barriers to employment, training and other issues faced by women are overcome, especially with the free childcare and support provided

The Project’s work is focused on increasing both the coping capacity and self-confidence and establishing stability in their lives in relations to accommodation, finances and family issues and addressing underlying issues such as mental health, domestic violence, and substance misuse.

Local Area:

The Tees Valley sub region covers a population of 674,300 (2019) people living in five boroughs which include Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland, and Stockton on Tees; of these (51%) are women.

TVWC Centre is located in South Bank, a ward within the administrative boundaries of the Borough of Redcar & Cleveland. The borough is an area of contrasting geography with rural, urban & coastal settlements, containing neighborhoods that have persistent experience of high levels of multiple deprivation and social exclusion.

The area suffers from a high crime rate (mainly theft and burglary) much of which is linked to drugs and alcohol related issues.

Many people are caught in the credit and loan culture which has led to the increase of personal debt amongst local people.

The Women’s Centre targets its activities at women from deprived communities within these different areas of the borough.

The area suffered greatly during the Pandemic with lots of families having to resort to local foodbanks.

The Women’s Centre will continue to add new courses and training opportunities during the next year to meet the specific needs of women attending the Centre; this is the result of continuous feedback from both the women attending the Centre and partner organisations.

The Covid pandemic and closure of the Centre has meant that we now need to build up our available courses again. Getting the women to attend is now a major hurdle, a lot of them are afraid to leave their homes and mix with others. We are having to start new courses with fewer numbers and look to providing more holistic type courses to help deal with anxiety issues.

Tees Valley Tots

Hello from Laura Blackmore Creche Manager

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am the Creche Manager at TeesValley Tots. I have just returned from Maternity leave and I’m looking forward to any new challenges my role will bring. The nursery is growing all the time and after consultation with parents we have decided to try opening later to help more working parents with childcare.

We follow the EYFS framework - The learning and development requirements cover seven prime areas, which are considered particularly important for stimulating children’s interest in learning, and in building relationships:

My great staff team encourage all our children to be individuals and reach their full potential whilst having fun.

21

2022/DW

OFSTED RATED - GOOD

Tees Valley Tots, based within the Women’s Centre is Ofsted registered for 23 children.

Our crèche follows the EYFS framework for children 0-5 years and can accommodate the government funded 15 hours per week free childcare for 2/3-year old’s.

After a recent questionnaire and consultation with local parents it was decided we would change our opening times to open longer hours so we can accommodate working parents with our affordable childcare.

Women attending courses in the Centre are offered free childcare within our creche setting, which removes one of the most common barriers to learning for local women.

Each child is an individual and learns at different times & stages, our continual monitoring and varied activities help us to keep the child interested whilst developing skills and ability.

Our friendly staff team (Early Years qualified) continually strive to make learning fun, they work closely with key children planning & executing activities to suit each child’s individual needs in line with the EYFS guidelines.

EYFS - Framework

  1. Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

  2. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards that all early year’s providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.

22

2022/DW

  1. The EYFS seeks to provide:

  2. quality and consistency in all early year’s settings, so that every child makes good progress,

  3. and no child gets left behind

  4. a secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned

  5. around the needs and interests of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly

  6. partnership working between practitioners and with parents and/or carers

  7. equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included

  8. and supported

  9. The EYFS specifies requirements for learning and development and for safeguarding children and promoting their welfare. The learning and development requirements cover:

  10. the areas of learning and development which must shape activities and experiences

  11. ( educational programmes ) for children in all early year’s settings

  12. the early learning goals that providers must help children work towards (the knowledge, skills and understanding children should have at the end of the academic year in which they turn five)

  13. assessment arrangements for measuring progress (and requirements for reporting to parents

  14. and/or carers)

  15. The safeguarding and welfare requirements cover the steps that providers must take to keep children safe and promote their welfare.

Overarching principles

  1. Four guiding principles should shape practice in early years settings. These are:

  2. every child is a unique child , who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident, and self-assured

  3. children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.

• children learn and develop well in enabling environments , in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers

• children develop and learn in different ways (see “the characteristics of effective teaching and learning” at paragraph 1.9) and at different rates . The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years provision, including children with special educational needs and disabilities.

The EYFS learning and development requirements?

The learning and development requirements cover seven prime areas, which are considered particularly important for stimulating children’s interest in learning, and in building relationships:

Natalie Blake Associate member of CILEX

I work closely with Tees Valley Women’s Centre. I hold drop-in legal surgeries and provide advice on a free of charge basis for those clients who do not qualify for legal aid and therefore would otherwise have no access to legal advice if they cannot afford a solicitor.

I have completed specialist training with Halo around Forced Marriage and Honour Based violence. I also have specialist training around supporting Eastern European Women living in the UK.

A Big Thank you

We would like to say a big thank you to all who have supported TVWC over the past 12 months.

We are particularly grateful for the funding & support received from the following organisations during the financial year 2021/22.

Hadrian Trust Garfield Weston TVCommunity Foundation National Lottery Cheshire Foundation Arnold Clarke The Archer Trust RCVDA Swire Charitable trust Bernica Foundation The Edward Gosling Foundation Speedomic foundation William Leech Charity Tudor Trust Awards for all HMRC -CVJRS Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council

Future Outlook 2022

We still expect to face many challenges during the coming year; with increased demand for our services & extra support as individuals and communities struggle to cope with both the financial hardship and mental wellbeing after the Covid Epidemic.

We are aware of our need to re-focus our services to meet the needs of the women and communities we serve, whilst continuing to follow the ethos of the Centre.

The reduction in public expenditure will impact greatly on the voluntary and community sectors providing many more challenges for us to face.

We are committed to encouraging women to volunteer, gain qualifications, and improve their self-worth through training and experiences including workshops and motivational courses within the Centre.

We are continually seeking opportunities to expand our services, build new partnerships with outside agencies and embrace new skills.

We will therefore work hard to maintain the diversification of our charity sources of income and work closely with our partners to help meet current demand for our services and equally important the fund providers’ terms and conditions.

CASE STUDY 2022

E H – Eston, Middlesbrough .

I started studying at the Tees valley woman’s Centre in April 2021. I started my level 3 preparing to work in adult social care. I then completed another two NCFE courses. The Centre is a fantastic place of study and also the fact that the creche is on site and allows my daughter to have two free sessions a week whilst I am on my course makes Studying so much easier for me.

I was made aware that TVWC were holding the Access to health diploma through Learning curve which I have been wanting to study for several years but found myself lacking confidence in myself academically. Through my time studying at the Centre my confidence grew, and I made friends with other ladies in the group and decided to sign up to the access course.

I started the Access to HE Course in September 2021 and since then my confidence and self-belief has just grown and grown. So much so that I have been successful in securing a place at Teesside University to study BSc adult nursing in September 2022.

The access tutor is an amazing tutor who is 100% dedicated to all the ladies in the group and is fully supporting us to achieve good grades and our end goal of attending university. I have recently submitted my first graded piece of work and achieved a distinction! Which I never thought I would achieve, again giving me a confidence boost.

I recently applied for a job as an HCA in James Cook hospital and yesterday I found out that I had a successful interview and secured the post! I know that if it wasn’t for me starting the courses mentioned above at TVWC I wouldn’t be where I am today with a new job, heading to university!

Before I started back in April 2021, I suffered with postnatal depression and didn’t leave the house. My depression is still there but it is very much eased by coming to TVWC and achieving the goals I have wanted to achieve for years. To say this Centre has changed my life is an understatement, and I will be forever grateful to the Centre and the wonderful ladies who run it forgiving me the opportunity to learn here. …….Thank you so Much

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022

Governing Document The organisation is a charitable company limited by Guarantee; it was incorporated on 28[th] September 2004 and registered as a charity on 13[th] July 1994. The Company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company’s articles are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, the charity continues through selective advertising and networking with other organisations sought to identify women, especially users of the Centre, who would be willing to become members of the Management Committee and use their own experience to assist the charity.

Trustee Induction and Training

Most Trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity and have been encouraged to take part in continuous training.

Additionally new trustees are invited and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These are jointly led by the Chair of the Management Committee and a representative from the Local Councils community development department, and cover the following:

Risk Management

The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed, a risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to funding have led to the development of a strategic plan, which will allow for the diversification of funding and activities. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the health and safety of staff, volunteers, clients, and visitors to the center. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the needs of the charity.

TEESVALLEY WOMENS CENTRE LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022 (-CONTINUED)

Organisational Structure

TeesValley Women’s Centre has a management committee of up to 8 members who meet regularly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity.

The Centre Manager has day-to-day responsibility for the provision of services, supervision of the staff team and also ensuring that the team continue to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.

Objectives and activities

The Company’s objectives and principal activities are to:

The main objectives and activities for the year continue to focus on Women’s needs, the strategies employed to assist the charity to meet these objectives include the following:

The trustees confirm that they have taken into consideration the Charity Commissions guidance on public benefit when planning the charity’s activities.

Achievements and Performance

Tees Valley Women’s Centre is a pioneering grass roots venture managed by a volunteer Management committee, providing a one stop shop for women in a non-threatening safe environment helping to support the wellbeing of local women, improve their quality of life by giving support, advice and guidance, training and education, access to employment and employment opportunities, and helping to tackle social exclusion.

This is supported by free childcare facilities for women attending courses in our Ofsted registered crèche. The Crèche also runs a daily nursery provision, a mobile crèche facility (for outside agencies) and is also registered to provide the governments (free 15 hrs.) early years provision for 2- & 3-year old’s.

The Covid pandemic had a big impact on the Centre and its ability to connect with local women who were too scared to venture out and mix with others in a confined space. We continued to help in any way we could giving telephone support and reducing course numbers to encourage the local women to re-integrate.

The Centre will during 2022/23 continue to offer its services to local women looking to gain employment, update training and educational skills, gain self confidence and self-esteem, enabling them to become job ready. We continue to provide an holistic approach to women’s issues especially with regards to mental health & anxiety issues which have risen greatly after the pandemic, offering workshops and well-being courses in smaller groups. The impact of the recent pandemic may take many years to recover but the Centre is fully committed to meeting the needs of all women including providing a safe place to study. and taking a holistic approach to all issues affecting women’s lives hence our constant search for new funding & training opportunities within the Tees Valley Area.

TEESVALLEY WOMENS CENTRE LIMITED

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022 (-CONTINUED)

Principal Funding

Against the backdrop of limited resources and greater insecurities over funding it has become increasingly difficult to plan or develop services. Nevertheless, the charity with the aid of sound financial management and support of both its staff and volunteers managed over the past year to generate funds through its crèche provision, room hire, as well as grant aid from partnerships & trusts, along with Covid funding from the CVJRS & Local authority.

We are currently working with a funding consultant (M. Shehata) who is working alongside the team to secure funding from grant giving organisations sympathetic to our ethos.

Investment Policy

The Trustees have operated an investment policy of maintaining funds in an interest bearing current & deposit accounts, where the funds are easily accessible for the day-to-day running of the charity.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds, not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets, held by the charity should be equal to 6 months of the unrestricted expenditure. Our current reserves are currently slightly higher than this as we anticipate much higher running costs in the coming year due to both the energy and cost of living crisis.

Future Planning

The Charity plans to continue the activities outlined previously during the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements and any government Covid restrictions which may arise. Hopefully we are now in a recovery phase and looking forward to growing our services in line with the needs of the local women in our community. The Covid Pandemic did have an impact on the Centre’s generated income and with the uncertainty of available Funding streams the next few years will prove to be a challenge for the organisation. With the ever-increasing need for education & training the Centre will hopefully be at the forefront of helping women reach their true potential both in their personal and employment goals.

Our creche facility continues to grow and is now offering longer hours for working parents.

Responsibilities of the Management Committee

The Management Committee are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company Law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the management committee are required to:

ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

TEESVALLEY WOMENS CENTRE LIMITED

IN RESPECT OF THE YEAR TO 31[ST] MARCH 2022

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2021, set out on pages 8 to 16.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

TEESVALLEY WOMEN’S CENTRE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE 2022 ACCOUNTS

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 General information and basis of preparation

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the trustees named on page 2. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £10 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 2 of these financial statements.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting

Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1a.

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The accounts are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been applied consistently to all years presented unless otherwise stated. The charity adopted SORP (FRS 102) in the current year, but this has not affected the financial position or performance.

1.2 Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds arise when the company receives grants and other significant donations, and the use of these funds may be restricted by the donor to a particular area of the company’s work. A detailed record is maintained by the company of all transactions relating to income. Unexpended funds at the end of the year are shown separately on the Balance Sheet as restricted funds.

1.3 Income Recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.

For grants to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained, then the income is deferred until those conditions are fully met or the fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity, and it is probable that they will be fulfilled.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably, and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

11

TEESVALLEY WOMEN’S CENTRE LIMITED

NOTES TO THE 2022 ACCOUNTS – Continued

1.4 Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

1.5 Tangible Fixed Assets

Provision is made for depreciation on all tangible assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation, less estimated residual value, of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Leasehold Buildings Over the lease term Office Equipment: 25.00% per annum on reducing balance Computers 50.00% per annum on a straight-line basis

1.6 Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

1.7 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated.

1.8 Tax

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in paragraph 1 schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.9 Going Concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
