Financial review
The charity's total income for the year amounted to £424,595 {2024.. £479,356). The restricted incoming resources
for the year of £348,148 consists of grant income reTrived. Any unspent revenue income is carried forward to next
year, as of 31st March 2025 restricted reserves were £88,988. The total unrestricted funds at the year-end
represent the charity's free reserves and amounted lo £324.846.
Reserves policy
In the Irustees, view, Ihe reserves should provide the charity with adequate financial stability and the means for it to
meet its charitable objectives for the foreseeable future. The Irustees propose to maintain the charity's reserves
level which is at least equivalent to six months operational expenditure and will do so having regards to its manner
of operation of likely funding systems.
The trustees will review the amount of re3erve$ Ihat are required to enyure that they are adequate to fulfil the
charity's continuing obligations on a quarterly basis at their regular monthly meetings.
Going concern
Having considered budgets for the next twelve months, the Truslees are confident Ihat the Charity will continue to
meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable fulure and consider that there are no material uncertainlies
about its ability to continue as a going concern. It is therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare
the financial statements on a going concern basis.
Small company provlslons
This report has been prepared in accordance with Ihe provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small
companies exemption.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Women Connect First
Year ended 31 March 2025
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Women Connect First ('the charity,) for the
year ended 31 March 2025.
Responsibilities and basis of report
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's truslees (who are also directors of Women Connect First for the purpose of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for Ihis
year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examlnation is needed. Having satisfied
myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is
my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by Ihe Charity Commission under section
145(5) of the 2011 Act. and
to stale whether particular matters have come to my altention.
Basis of independ8nt examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 I do not express an audit opinion on
whether the accounts present a 'tru8 and fair view,. Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section
145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that l am qualified to undertake the examination because l am a member of the
Inslltute of Chartered Account8nts In England and Wales (ICAEW), whlch is one of the Ilsled bodies.

In connection with rny examination. no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the
requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Acl 2006)., and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of
the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice:
Accounting and Reporting by Charities
or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to
be reachèd,

3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
Th& financial statements have been prepared on th8 historical cost basis, as modified by the r8valuation of certain
financial assets and liabilitie5 and investment propertie5 measured at fair value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncerlainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncèrtainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are b8sed on
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances.
Fund accountlng
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.
Designated funds are unreslricted funds earmarked L)y the trustees for parlicular future project or commitment.
Restricted fijnds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an
appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes.. restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the
charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the
amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income=
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable
and its amount can be measured reliably. legacy income is recognised when receipt Is probable and entitlement is
established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to
measure reliably. in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value
Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured.
No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of
services is recognised with the dolivery of the corbtracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless
there is a contractual requirement for il lo be spent on a parlicular purpose and relurned if unspent, in which case it
may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which
cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates..
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading
activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a
charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable airns for the benefil of its beneficiaries, including those
support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
other
expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure
on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a
single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they
contribute to on a reasonable, justifi£ble and consistent basis.
Operating leaseg
Léasè paymènts are rècognised 8s an 8xpènsé over the leasè term on a straight-line basis. Thè aggreg8te bènefit
of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at Gosl, and subsequently ststed at GOSI less any accumulated depreciation
and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date
of revaluatlon less any subsequent accumulated depreciatlon and subsequent accumulated imp8irmenl losses. An
increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and
losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within Ihe
statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is
recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which il offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which
case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value. over the useful
economic life of thal asset as follows:
Fixtures and fittings
Impairment of fixed a55ets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being
estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset 15
impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date. For the
purposes of imp8irment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the re¢overable amount of an individual asset,
an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The
cash-generating unil is the smallest identifiable group of assets thal includes Ihe asset and generates cash inflows
that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. For impairment testing of
goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the
cash-generating units that are expected lo benefit from the synergies of the combination. irrespective of whether
other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Flnanclal Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of thè Instrument. Baslc financial instruménts arè Initially r8cognised at thé amount recèlvable or payablè
including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a finanGing transaction, where il is
recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted al a market rate of interest for a similar debt
