FOREWORD

I was aware of the excellent reputation of Yellow Door services before I joined the Board of Trustees earlier this year. It has been a revelation to learn of the quality, depth and strength of the work that Nicci and her team undertake with such skill and commitment.

The range of services offered and the difference that these make to our service users, is something Trustees can be extremely proud to share with you in this report.

On behalf of the Trustees, I am delighted to let you know that the work of Yellow Door has also been recently recognised in an outstanding report for our British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation.

I am delighted to share this annual report from the Board of Trustees with you and hope you will continue to support our work in the future.

Dr Julie Greer Chair of the Board of Trustees

I feel very privileged to lead our incredibly skilled and dedicated team of staff and volunteers who are passionate about making a difference to local people’s lives.

Over the last year, we have continued to build our reputation as a trusted, inclusive and knowledgeable local specialist charity. We continuously strive to adapt, develop and respond to the needs of our communities and service users. It is vitally important to us that all local people affected by domestic and sexual abuse know that Yellow Door is here for them. We have worked hard to ensure that everyone can access our services regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, language, sexuality or mental health status and we are committed to further improving accessibility across all the protected characteristics.

Our service users regularly tell us how they keep themselves safe and are able to rebuild their lives with our support. During the pandemic we increased the support we offered and adapted our delivery to meet our service users’ needs during one of the most challenging times that the charity has faced. We learnt a huge amount during this time and the new methods of offering support have continued this year.

I want to take this opportunity to thank our service users, staff, volunteers, trustees, partners and supporters for helping to make Yellow Door the responsive and innovative service that we are today.

Nicci King CEO

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

GOVERNANCE, STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT

The Charity’s objects (the Objects) are:

Governing Document

Yellow Door provides:

Yellow Door is a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, incorporated on 21 June 2005 and registered as a charity on 19 October 2005. It was established under a Memorandum of Association to include the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. Anybody can apply to the Board of Trustees to become a member of the charitable company and each member is required to contribute £1 in the event of the charitable company winding up.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Yellow Door is governed by a Board of Directors who are also Charity Trustees for the purposes of charity law and, under the company's Articles of Association, are known as Trustees. In seeking to represent the communities we serve, we advertise widely for Trustees, detailing the mix of skills and expertise required. Current Trustees have skills and experience in social work, safeguarding, managing children's services, child mental health and wellbeing, education, quality and management systems, law, policy, advocacy and influence, diversity, human resources, co-production and finance. Trustees are appointed either by members' agreement at an Annual General Meeting or by the Board of Trustees following application and interview. A third of the Trustees retire (but may be re-appointed) by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Trustees are not paid any remuneration for their role.

Public Benefit Statement

Yellow Door’s activities and who it helps are described in detail below. All charitable activities focus on the support, empowerment and recovery of those individuals who have experienced domestic and/or sexual abuse and its prevention. All activities are undertaken to further Yellow Door’s charitable purposes for the public benefit.

6

Trustee Induction and Training

All new Trustees are provided with an induction pack containing general information on the role of a Charity Trustee and information specific to Yellow Door, such as the Memorandum and Articles of Association and policies for example on safeguarding, financial procedures, service provision, employment, health and safety. Trustees have opportunities to meet with staff and/or observe activities in order to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day workings of Yellow Door. Trustees are provided with regular updates from the Charity Commission and other reputable organisations with expertise in our area of work, such as briefings from SCIE (Social Care Institute for Excellence). Several Trustees are regular attendees at Trustee and Chair liaison/update meetings run by the Survivors Trust. Trustees actively access training material and the learning is often cascaded to the wider Board. Trustees are also encouraged to attend training events on the Trustee role and their responsibilities and other relevant training provided in-house.

Structure

The Board of Trustees meets bi-monthly, ensuring that any decisions are agreed as a quorum. Additional meetings are held as required for key decision making. Responsibilities are delegated to sub-groups which include HR, Finance and Strategy and Performance. The delegated sub-groups report back to the Board. The Board of Trustees, at the date of signing this Report, has 8 members (9 at the Balance Sheet date of 31 March 2022). The Trustees delegate day-to-day responsibility for the running of Yellow Door to the CEO.

A Senior Management Team is in place to share responsibilities, decrease dependency on individual staff and support good communication across all areas and activities of Yellow Door. This is particularly important as the service adapts to changes in service user demographics and needs and seeks to respond flexibly to an increasingly competitive funding environment.

Risk Management

During the 2021/22 financial year, Yellow Door kept under review its Risk Management Register. Trustees working alongside the CEO and Senior Management Team, examined the major strategic, business and operational risks that Yellow Door potentially might face.

Any financial risks are carefully considered on a regular basis by the Finance Sub-Group, which receives monthly financial reports. Any matters of concern would be referred to the Board of Trustees. Through an Enhance grant with Lloyds Foundation we received free consultation from the Foundation of Social Improvement (FSI) to support the review and refresh of our Fundraising Strategy. The Income Diversification Strategy 2020-2024 is supporting us to ensure we diversify our income across a variety of streams, so we can continue delivering the wide range of services we offer.

Procedures are also in place with regard to the health and safety of staff, volunteers, service users and visitors to the building. Delivery of therapeutic services is in accordance with the guidelines of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), of which Yellow Door is now an accredited member.

Yellow Door has robust Safeguarding procedures (for children and adults) and can demonstrate best practice to ensure the safeguarding of our service users and their families. This includes a Senior Duty Safeguarding Manager, mandatory staff training, regular monitoring, risk assessment and review of our procedures to ensure compliance with national and local standards.

Additional risk assessment and management was put into place in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and the changes in service delivery as well as impact on staff. This was formally considered and agreed by the Board of Trustees.

7

Organisation Management

Yellow Door’s Senior Management Team have a range of skills, qualifications and experience in voluntary sector management, evidence based psychological therapies, project set up and management, quality assurance, building partnerships, contract/grants management, HR, IT, finance, data monitoring and communications. The Senior Management Team share responsibilities which decreases dependency on individual staff and support good communication across all areas and activities of Yellow Door. This is particularly important as the service adapts to changes in service user demographics and needs and seeks to respond flexibly to an increasingly competitive funding environment. A mandatory training plan is in place to ensure all staff and volunteers are aware of their obligations and responsibilities in areas such as Health and Safety, Safeguarding, General Data Protection Regulations and Operational Standards.

Related Parties

Yellow Door collaborates with a range of key partners to ensure effective signposting, shared care (where appropriate) and to minimise duplication of services. Key partners include Local Authorities, Children and Adult Social Care, Adult and Child/Adolescent Mental Health teams, Hampshire Constabulary, Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Schools and Education Services, Sexual Health Services and a broad range of voluntary sector partners.

INTRODUCTION
----- End of picture text -----

Yellow Door was established 37 years ago in Southampton, growing from a small local volunteer led helpline, working with women who had been raped or sexually assaulted, to the innovative and wide-ranging service across Southampton and Hampshire that we are today. Our vision is for a world where adults, families, young people and children can live without experiencing domestic and sexual abuse and the resulting devastating impacts.

We support people of all ages and all genders in Southampton and across parts of Hampshire, who have experienced domestic and/or sexual abuse including those affected by harmful practices such as Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), honour-based abuse and forced marriage. We provide direct services to support them to recover from their trauma and move forward with healthy and safe lives. We focus on preventative work through education, awareness raising, early intervention and training.

People with lived experience of domestic or sexual abuse have always been at the heart and foundation

of Yellow Door. We ensure that this principle underpins all of our work and the development and delivery of our services.

“Volunteering at Yellow Door was such a rewarding experience for many reasons. I initially joined when at university as I thought it would be a great way to gain experience and help my local community. From my first day, the support and training I was provided with was invaluable.” Volunteer

2021/22 Achievements

Services we deliver include:

This Annual Report shows how we have responded to continued and rising demand for our services, feedback from service users about the services they have accessed, our achievements and our successful fundraising - all in a constantly changing environment.

“Don’t think I would have got through this without Yellow Door’s help. Gave me a light at the end of the tunnel. My advocate was brilliant, constantly positive, helped me succeed, wanting to claim another title for myself, not be a victim anymore.”

Service User of Yellow Door

CONTEXT

This last year has seen national and local responses relating to both the Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls agendas. The tragically high number of domestic homicides in the UK and nature of high-profile cases of abuse and murder such as Sarah Everard, Sabina Nessa, Julia James, Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman starkly demonstrate the ongoing need for services like ours and the importance of increasing focus on issues of violence against women and girls (VAWG).

Progress has been made nationally and, following many years of campaigning, the Domestic Abuse Act was introduced in 2021. This was welcomed by us and other specialist organisations and we are starting to see the positive impact of this legislation.

We recognise, however, that tackling domestic and sexual abuse requires continued focus and determination beyond such legislation and we are committed to being part of future developments locally and nationally to build on this.

It remains the case that too many people are victims of domestic and sexual abuse. This year, the Everyone's Invited project and Ofsted's report into abuse in schools and colleges increased the need for focus on the need to address rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment in education settings.

The impact of the pandemic and related lockdowns of recent years have drastically increased the risks for child and adult victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse. The reasons for the increased risks are beginning to emerge, for example: exacerbation of existing abuse, increased isolation, and increase in household stressors including financial insecurities. Fewer chances to go out to school, work or other places, plus fewer visitors and social contacts mean that in many cases abuse often went unnoticed or unsaid during the lockdowns.

Since the Pandemic, we have seen a huge rise in demand for services in Yellow Door. In 2021/22 we experienced a 182% increase in referrals when compared to 2019/20. We have responded to this increased need through innovative and creative responses to improve service user outcomes.

The DIA Service works to help people impacted by or at risk of domestic abuse, sexual abuse or harmful practices by identifying barriers which may prevent them from accessing the help they need. These barriers include (but are not limited to) ethnicity, immigration status, trafficking, learning or physical disabilities, sexuality or gender identity, language or communication needs.

The DIA team also engage with community groups to cascade awareness of rights, the law and how to get help to all those who need it, particularly those who may be marginalised or excluded from mainstream communications or who may not consider the available help as relevant to them.

CASE STUDY

Lola fled Kenya due to experiencing honour-based abuse, a forced marriage, sexual and physical abuse.

Through sessions with her Yellow Door Advocate, Lola built a relationship of trust and confidence enabling her to access community groups which helped her to feel less isolated and encouraged her to gain volunteer and work experience to find paid work.

Lola was supported to work with a solicitor to clarify her immigration status, her work permit and was also signposted to mental health and alcohol support groups.

“Thank you somuch for your help, I really appreciate everything you are doing, I am humbled how you take your time and do all the things you dofor me, from the deep ofmy heart, I am grateful for your kindness.” Lola, DIA Service User

STAR PROJECT

The STAR Project works in mainstream and alternative education settings, youth centres, colleges, universities and other youth environments, engaging children and young people in conversations about safety and healthy relationships. The team delivers creative and tailored workshops that focus on consent, sexting, sexual exploitation, cyber bullying, peer pressure, self-esteem and internet safety. Additionally, STAR acts as a gateway to support children and young people who have subsequently accessed other Yellow Door and partner services.

Throughout the pandemic, the STAR team proactively engaged with local schools and youth settings by adapting their delivery to live online and interactive pre-recorded sessions. Despite school closures the team were still able to reach young people across Southampton and wider parts of Hampshire. The team created a variety of online material which is accessible to all individuals including those from marginalised groups or with additional needs. Because of this, the team managed the transition back into schools with ease.

The project is constantly evolving to address issues arising from publicity around VAWG; the project adapts to educate young people based on their feedback and topical issues.

CASE STUDY

A local college tutor explains the following after a STAR session:

“The student was in a turbulent, abusive relationship and even though the college were intervening and providing support, the student was unable to leave the relationship. The student engaged in the healthy relationships and consent session and following this, with support she felt able to leave the abusive relationship.”

The tutor explained that the topics and discussions enabled the student to recognise and acknowledge the relationship she was in was very unhealthy and abusive. The tutor felt that having external facilitators in the college had a much bigger impact on the students rather than internal staff trying to deliver sessions on similar topics. The tutor thanked STAR/ Yellow Door for how impactful and life changing it was for one of the students.

DOMESTIC ABUSE TEAM (DAT)

“You were kind, thoughtful, really listened ‘behind’ my words to what else was going on.

Problems remain but how I cope with them has totally changed with your support.” DAT Service User

OTHER AREAS OF FOCUS

Volunteering and Communications

In 2021/22 we re-developed the volunteer process. It is now split into two pathways; service user facing and non-service user facing roles. This has provided a clearer and more organised approach when recruiting for specific roles. At the end of March 2022, Yellow Door had 31 volunteers; 11 therapeutic (counsellors) and 20 support volunteers.

The Volunteer & Involvement (V&I) officers streamlined the CPD training into 1 day or 3 evenings to make the induction of volunteers more accessible and efficient. This training is also offered to new staff as well as being mandatory for volunteers.

Yellow Door has worked closely with Solent University to match Social Work students with a placement at Yellow Door. Over the year, we have successfully worked with 2 placement students who were assets to the team. We were able to offer 1 of the students a part-time job after their placement finished.

Having a dedicated V&I team means that Yellow Door can have a stronger presence in the

community at events. This has been valuable and insightful as it gives our staff and volunteers informal and heart-warming feedback from the public who have received our support.

Since the new V&I team started, 3 CPD accredited training courses for 26 volunteers and staff have taken place. This course covers issues such as: introduction to domestic and sexual abuse; confidentiality and data protection; safeguarding; vicarious trauma; diversity and boundaries. The V&I team keep in touch with the volunteers frequently via email, face to face or telephone calls to check in with them and to see if they need any additional support. The volunteers also receive the weekly round-up, an internal communication that staff receive so they are up to date with information. The V&I team have taken over coordinating the helpline.

Communications and Fundraising

Over the last 12 months, Yellow Door’s social media has seen significant increases in our follower and engagement numbers across all platforms. By the end of March 2022, we had 3240 followers across Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn. We ran a number of focused campaigns, one of those being Sexual Violence and Abuse Awareness Week (7-13[th] February 2022). Over the week, we shared 69 posts

29

on our social media. This reached 52,686 profiles.

We have been very fortunate to have support from individuals and community groups over the last 12 months. For example, Wire Wool Events, a local feminist event organiser, continues to fundraise for us via raffles at their events and also gives us the platform to talk to attendees during the interval about our important service.

We were very lucky to be approached by ‘a space arts’ who fundraised for Yellow Door by hosting a silent auction on International Women’s Day. Art was submitted by local female and non-binary artists. Half of the money raised was donated to Yellow Door. We have also had donations via sponsored runs, raffles and student unions. Thank you to all our supporters for their ongoing support to Yellow Door.

Community Outreach, Training and Consultancy

Collaboration with others

2021/22 was the final year for both our Domestic and Sexual Abuse (DSA) Prevention and Intervention contract in Southampton and the Pan Hampshire and Portsmouth Independent Sexual Violence Advisors (ISVA) contract. Both contracts have been hugely successful.

We were the lead partner for the DSA contract and worked with Aurora New Dawn, No Limits and Southampton Family Trust. Over the contract we received 9,625 referrals, we provided 22,462 individual sessions and 57,648 attendances to STAR Project.

We were also the lead partner for the ISVA contract and have worked with Aurora New Dawn and Basingstoke Rape and Sexual Abuse Counselling Centre to ensure a consistent county wide approach, delivering the highest quality specialist support to victims and survivors. ISVA received 5,457 adult referrals during the contract.

During the 2021/22 financial year, we were successful at tendering for new contracts in both of these areas and 2022/23 will see us partnering with STOP Domestic Abuse for DVSA and we are leading the Hampshire contract for ISVA.

We are delighted to say that the number of corporate partners supporting us is growing and the contribution they make to our service and our service users is invaluable. A huge thank you to Gentian and Honey & Harvey for their ongoing support and commitment to Yellow Door.

A further thank you to Lisa Bretherick (www.lisaimages.com) who has taken all of the photographs used in this report.

Our Profile

Through our efforts to improve our profile in the area, we have seen an increased presence and references in both mainstream and social media, thus raising awareness of our services. For example, our Therapeutic Manager shared his experience as a male working in the sector for the last 8 years, and how men and boys can be allies against sexual harassment of women and girls.

Yellow Door wants to share the message that violence against women and girls is not ‘just a fact of life’. We are here to listen to and support anyone who has been impacted by domestic and/or sexual abuse locally.

When asked “what is your advice to men about how to help women and how to be their ally?” the Therapeutic Manager replied “My advice would be: talk to your female friends and see what they need and want. Until we all (and I mean humanity, irrespective of gender) start to have a conversation that it’s not okay to be violent against women and girls, then the problems are going to continue.”

You can watch the interview on our website here ITV News Meridian Interview - Yellow Door

Our CEO had the privilege of speaking at the Southampton VAWG Conference in February 2022. The event was attended by a wide range of partners across the statutory and voluntary sector raising awareness of key issues and developments in preventing and responding to VAWG.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

----- Start of picture text -----
CONTRACTS
£688,960
GRANTS
£993,744
EARNED
£52,874
----- End of picture text -----

Income received was £1,735,578 (2021 - £1,671,121) and resources expended totalled £1,576,545 (2021 - £1,344,920) resulting in an overall surplus for the year of £159,033 (2021 - £326,201).

During the year ended 31 March 2022, we have continued our concerted focus on diversifying our income streams alongside reviewing our on-going costs management. We wanted to continue to deliver and grow the muchneeded quality support and education services to our community which we believe is evidenced within this report. We have been very fortunate that individuals and businesses have made generous donations to Yellow Door, as well as those who have taken part in fundraising activities, which have generated further unrestricted funding.

Yellow Door continues to provide a number of contracts of which, two involve sub-contracting some elements to partners for their specialisms. The Board of Trustees is satisfied with the outcome for the year.

RESERVES

At 31 March 2022, the charity had total reserves of £954,228 (2021: £795,195) and total bank and cash balances of £765,391 (2021: £704,077). Fund balances totalling £nil (2021: £nil) were restricted. These funds are amounts given for specific purposes and projects.

Fund balances totalling £213,976 (2021: £32,087) were designated. More information on designations can be found in Note 16: Analysis of Charitable Funds

Unrestricted general funds amount to £740,252 (2021: £763,108) and free reserves total £458,558 (2021: £482,492). Free reserves are calculated after deducting the amount of reserves which could only be realised by disposing of fixed assets.

Yellow Door holds reserves predominantly to mitigate against the risk of a decline in income. Holding an appropriate level of reserves means that the charity would be able to continue the current activities of Yellow Door in the event of a significant drop in funding. The reserves held will allow sufficient time to secure replacement funding or consider a change or reduction in activities. Our reserves policy considers the level of committed income already secured for future years and the timescale over which our contracts operate.

Our policy is to maintain free reserves equating to 3 to 6 months-worth of expenditure. Over time our free reserves have increased and this has put us in a stronger financial position.

At current levels of expenditure, this target level of free reserves is considered to be between £346k - £691k. Free reserves at the year-end of £458,558 are in line with this target.

INVESTMENT POLICY

The Board of Trustees does not consider it prudent, at this stage, to invest income for the longer term. Its policy for investment is therefore to retain funds as cash and place them on bank deposit at the best rate obtainable.

FUNDRAISING PRACTICES

A designated member of the team assists in the co-ordination of fundraising events and activities with our supporters. Yellow Door does not use professional fundraisers or involve commercial participators. We are not part of any voluntary schemes or standards for regulating fundraising. It is made clear to any supporters who raise funds that they are acting “in aid of” Yellow Door and not “on behalf of”. There have been no complaints about fundraising activity during the year. Yellow Door does not undertake any direct marketing for the purposes of fundraising in order to ensure that there is no

32

unreasonable intrusion, persistent approaches or undue pressure. Third party fundraisers are given clear instructions that they must also abide by these guidelines.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

Yellow Door Board of Trustees (trustees for the purposes of charity law and directors for the purposes of company law) is responsible for preparing an annual report and Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In preparing those Financial Statements the Board of Trustees is required to:

The Board of Trustees is responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the Financial Statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

To the Members of Yellow Door (Solent)

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Yellow Door (Solent) (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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 charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

CONCLUSIONS RELATING TO GOING CONCERN

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the Trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

OTHER INFORMATION

The other information comprises the information included in the Trustees 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.

34

OPINIONS ON OTHER MATTERS PRESCRIBED BY THE COMPANIES ACT 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable 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 where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement, the Trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes 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 charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: http://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

EXTENT TO WHICH THE AUDIT WAS CONSIDERED CAPABLE OF DETECTING IRREGULARITIES, INCLUDING FRAUD

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain

35

audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

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 of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Charity Information

Yellow Door (Solent) is a charitable company established under its Memorandum and Articles of Association and registered with the Charity Commission and Companies House in England and Wales. The principal address is 30 Brookvale Road, Southampton, SO17 1QR. The charitable company is a public benefit entity.

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the Financial Statements are as follows:

(a) Basis of Preparation

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their Financial Statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Financial Statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. Monetary amounts are rounded to the nearest £.

(b) Income

All income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charitable company is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

(c) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes VAT as the charitable company is not VAT registered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charitable company in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and their associated support and governance costs.

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charitable company but do not directly undertake the charitable activities. These costs have been allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource and are apportioned on an appropriate basis e.g. floor areas, per capita or estimated usage.

40

Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charitable company.

(d) Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Fixed assets costing more than £500 are capitalised at cost.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write-off each asset over its estimates useful economic life:

Freehold property 2% Straight line basis Office equipment 15% of net book value Computer equipment 25% Straight line basis

(e) Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discount due.

(f) Cash at Bank and in Hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

(g) Creditors and Provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

(h) Operating Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities evenly over the period of the lease.

(i) Pension Costs

The charitable company makes pension contributions to employees’ pension schemes. The charge for the year represents contributions payable in the year.

(j) Taxation

The charitable company is exempt from Corporation Tax on its charitable activities.

(k) Fund Accounting

Unrestricted funds consist of the general purposes fund and designated funds.

Designated funds are funds established by the Board of Trustees from time to time for specific projects or purposes, are not in any way restricted and any surplus or deficit will be transferred to/from the general purposes fund when the designated fund is closed.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictions imposed by donors or by the purposes of the appeal. The purpose and use of designated and restricted funds is set out in the notes to the Financial Statements.

(l) Donated Services

Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charitable company where this can be quantified.

41

(m) Financial Instruments

The charitable company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

(n) Deferred Income

Income is deferred where the charity is not yet entitled to the use of the resources. When the pre-conditions for use are met then the income is released.

(o) Significant Judgements and Estimates

Preparation of the Financial Statements may require management to make significant judgements and estimates. There are no items in the Financial Statements where judgements and estimates would have a significant effect on amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.
