The liability of the members in the event of the company being wound up is limited to a sum not exceeding £1.
The charity is governed by the Board of Trustees, working closely with the CEO and senior management team. The trustees have formed dedicated sub committees to address both finance and HR, meet 8 times a year to oversee the financial management of the centre, to ensure probity and to support the CEO. The HR subgroup meet 8 times a year to support the CEO in oversight of staff management and development. Both groups form consensus and report to the whole board.
The Trustees consider the Chief Executive Officer, the Clinical Manager, and Services Manager, to comprise the key management personnel of the charity in charge of directing and controlling the charity and running and operating the charity on a day to day basis.
Remuneration is reviewed annually and is bench-marked with organisations of a similar size and activity to ensure that pay is fair and not out of line with that generally paid for similar roles. The Trustees regularly conduct their own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Method of recruitment and appointment of trustees
The Directors of the company are also charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the members of the Management Group are elected to service for a period of one year after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
The charity shall have at least three Trustees comprising:
-

In an effort to maintain a broad skill mix, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Management Committee, the HR subgroup; Fundraising sub-group; or the Finance sub-group. The Management Group also works with local consultants with relevant skills where these are needed.

Achievements and performance (continued)
-
Reduced the number of logged risk concerns by 44%. Our staff shared with us that they were feeling overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of risk management. In response, we focused on providing better support for our staff and improving our working practices, carefully managing referrals to the centre, ensuring we only saw the number of clients we are commissioned to support, and reducing waiting times for clients.
-
17% increase in recovery rates for across our counselling services
-
Completion of an independent review of our Casework service demonstrated the effectiveness of this partnership work. Internal and external networks contributed to the delivery of a holistic approach and the breadth of outcomes that clients gained.
Successes
-
New cloud NHS approved database, we started the build phrase with engineers in January 2025. The system went live in April 2025
-
We realised our long-term ambition of acquiring our own building to house our casework team, providing them with a permanent base, allowing us to deliver additional client groups and continue to actively engage with our local community. The building was officially opened in November 2024 by local MP Jade Botterill who cut our ceremonial ribbon. Simon Lightwood MP and The Mayor of West Yorkshire Tracy Brabin attended the event.
-
emotional, psycho-educational and practical assistance. Caseworkers create a safe space , which can
-
help them prepare for deeper psychological support, such as counselling, if needed.
-
housing concerns, challenges with the child protection system, criminal offenses, or substance misuse. A caseworker will support clients with safety planning and resiliencebuilding activities equip them with the tools to manage their mental health and safety effectively. This empowers individuals to take control of their well-being, fostering independence and long-term stability.
Priorities for the future
In February 2025 at our Trustee Strategic Awayday, we confirmed that our current focus as Trustees is to respond positively to the very difficult funding environment by focussing on diversifying and improving our income streams. Our improved premises at Trinity Church Gate, and our new premises at 8-10 Wood Street provide opportunities for group work and counselling spaces that benefit clients. Negotiating existing contracts and gaining new grants are key activities for this year, supported by a Business Development role.
An equal priority is to recognise we are a people business, and our staff and volunteers must be supported and enabled to do their client-facing jobs.
The new premises at 8-10 Wood Street were a significant investment in the future of our charity and marks a pivotal moment in our long-term sustainability. We plan to further expand this safe, women only building to offer an additional four 1-2-1 rooms and a waiting area, which will enhance our capacity to support clients.
Fundraising
Fundraising from the public represents a very small proportion of income, the majority of which is sourced through grants and contracts. No complaints were received in the year in connection with fundraising.
We strive to achieve the highest fundraising standards and we value the financial support we receive from our supporters. We stay up to date with developments in charity regulation, data protection and the Fundraising Preference Service (FPS) to make sure we are legally compliant and adhering to all guidelines.
As part of our 40[th] anniversary celebrations we launched our Membership in March 2024, for £10 or more, members receive our quarterly newsletter.

Reserves Policy
, excluding designated funds and long term liabilities, at the year end were £6,989 (2024 - £145,050).
Our designated building reserve of £125,895 has now been spent on premises at 8-10 Wood Street. Our agreed reserves amount for the year is £116,000. Last year's (2023/24) reserve level was £110,000. The reserve level has risen because of new mortgage repayment obligations.
Trustees review the Reserves Policy annually and in doing so will calculate the reserves amount needed for the coming year. The trustees will ensure that the agreed level of reserves will provide continuation of the charity's current activities in the event of a significant drop in funding. This will give time for consideration of options and fundraising actions to be taken.

Well Women Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Fund accounting
Funds held by the charity are either:
Unrestricted funds - Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Designated funds - Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes.
Restricted funds - Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund, together with a fair allocation of management and support costs.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors, cash and bank balances and current asset investments, 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.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through income and expenditure, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date. Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected.
If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the The impairment loss is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.

Well Women Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the charity transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
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
discharged or cancelled.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity held for working capital.
Pension costs
The charity operates defined contribution pension arrangements for its employees. Amounts due are recognised as an expense in the SoFA when they fall due for payment.
Operating leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the SoFA on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Taxation
Well Women Centre is an exempt charity within the meaning 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.
Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements
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.

Well Women Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
1. Accounting Policies (continued)
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, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
After review the Trustees consider that there are no critical estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the financial statements.
