FOREWORD

Julie writes: 2023-2024 has been an excellent year for Yellow Door with our services and capacity growing further to make a difference to our community. The important work of our team helps to meet the needs of children, young people and adults at a time in their lives when trust is often hard to build. Our therapists, advocates and counsellors work with skill and care at the right time, in the right way for the individual.

The Frankie service has been new to Yellow Door this year, but I am proud that we are now further developing this provision for children and young people who have experienced sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or female genital mutilation. Other aspects of our work are also building a regional and national reputation.

Dr Julie Greer

The Board of Trustees work closely with our CEO, Nicci King, to provide strategic direction and oversight of the Charity. I am grateful for the expertise and energy of our Trustees who give their time and commitment. As we further build our commitment to inclusion and diversity, do get in touch if you feel your skills and experience will benefit the Yellow Door Board of Trustees.

Chair of the Board of Trustees

Nicci writes: I feel very privileged to lead our highly skilled and compassionate 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 successfully secured the South West Hampshire All Age Sexual Abuse Therapeutic Contract and the Children and Young Peoples Therapeutic Frankie Worker Service which allow us to provide accredited and specialist therapeutic support in our local area.

We continue to work hard to ensure that everyone can access our services regardless of their age, gender, disability, ethnicity, language or sexuality and we are committed to further improving accessibility across all the protected characteristics.

Nicci King

Chief Executive Officer

Our service users regularly tell us how they keep themselves safe and are able to rebuild their lives with our support. 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.

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES

The Charity’s objects (the Objects) are:

To relieve the sickness and distress of individuals who have suffered abuse/rape at any time in their lives.

• To promote the education of the public in the subject of sexual abuse/rape and its psychological and social impact.

Yellow Door aims to :

Prevent domestic and sexual violence through increasing awareness of the harmful impacts, working with children, young people, families, communities and partners.

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. The Trustees have also had regard to the Charity Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

Structure, governance and management

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.

Provide non-judgmental specialist support to adults, families, young people and children who have been affected by domestic or sexual abuse, including harmful practice.
Target support to the most marginalised communities who experience additional barriers to gaining support, because of the intersectionality of protected characteristics such as their ethnicity, race, disability, gender or age with abuse.

The Board of Trustees meets quarterly, 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. The delegated sub-groups report back to the Board. The Board of Trustees, at the date of signing this Report, has 7 members (8 at the Balance Sheet date of 31 March 2024). The Trustees delegate day-to-day responsibility for the running of Yellow Door to the CEO.

A Senior Leadership Team works strategically to support long term sustainability of the organisation, ensure the growth and development of services, effective financial management, safeguarding and quality assurance. 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.

Annual Review 2023-24

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES

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 senior leadership, safeguarding, children's services, child mental health and wellbeing, education, quality and management systems, policy, advocacy and influence, diversity, equity & inclusion, human resources, coproduction 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.

Risk Management

During the 2023/24 financial year, Yellow Door kept under review its Risk Management Register. Trustees working alongside the CEO and Senior Leadership 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 are 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.

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, attend training 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. Links are encouraged with organisations such as the Survivors Trust, Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Group, locally, to network and develop. 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, for example, training provided by Zurich Community Trust as well as other relevant training provided in-house. The Chair attended a national CityForum event in January, bringing together key figures from police and policy makers to share their knowledge of Violence Against Women and Girls.

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.

Income Expenditure
----- End of picture text -----

During the year ended 31 March 2024, 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 much-needed 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 services which involve sub-contracting some elements to partners for their specialisms; for example, Spectrum, who are a user-led organisation, run and controlled by disabled people, and Southampton Family Trust who provide expertise on parenting courses. The Board of Trustees are satisfied with the outcome for the year.

SURPLUS

We ended the year with a small surplus which has helped us strengthen our reserves

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

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.

At current levels of expenditure, this target level of free reserves is considered to be between £493,380- £986,760. Free reserves at the year-end of £560,340 sit within this target.

Annual Review 2023-24

OBJECTIVES & ACTIVITIES

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

The Board of Trustees are 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. The Board of Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and, hence, for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Auditor

The auditor, Fiander Tovell Limited, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis of Accounting

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies’ exemption under the Companies Act 2006.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

Yellow Door Board of Trustees (Trustees for the purposes of charity law and directors for the purposes of company law) are 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). Company law requires the Board of Trustees to prepare Financial Statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of Yellow Door as at the Balance Sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial period. In preparing those Financial Statements the Board of Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP (FRS102);
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the Financial Statements; and
prepare the Financial Statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charitable company will continue on that basis.

Annual Review 2023-24

OUR VISION

Services we deliver include:

, Preventative education work with children and young people in schools and youth settings
Specialist sexual abuse advocacy services, including a sexual abuse helpline

Yellow Door was established 39 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 organisation across Southampton and Hampshire that we are today.

We support people of all ages and all genders, in Southampton and across Hampshire & Isle of Wight, 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 safer lives. We focus on preventative work through education, awareness raising, early intervention and training.

Outreach and specialist advocacy support services working to address barriers, improve access and promote equality and inclusion by working with anyone who may be marginalised or disadvantaged in accessing services
All gender therapy and counselling for adults, children, young people and families
Psycho-educational groups and courses
Training, awareness raising and partnership work

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 our work and the development and delivery of our services, and we are working to explore further opportunities for involvement and coproduction.

Annual Review 2023-24

OUR CONTEXT & PROFILE eee =. n|) re eer !

We continue to see a national focus on both Domestic Abuse and Violence Against Women and Girls, which we wholeheartedly support.

The strategy comes in response to the unprecedented increase in referrals that we have seen over the last few years and will help support the continued growth and development of Yellow Door as a charity. We spent time engaging with our service users, delivery partners, funders, and the public, to help shape our new strategic direction, which focuses on prevention support, empowerment, and recovery.

The pandemic and cost of living crisis have drastically increased the risks for victims and survivors of domestic and sexual abuse, and demand for our support has also been heightened due to an increase in public awareness of tragic high-profile murder and sexual violence cases.

We have continued to see an increased presence in both mainstream and social media, which raise a good awareness of our service.

The group is attended by a wide range of professionals including; Police, Health, Social Service, Education, Housing, Probation and Voluntary Sector. Nicci has increased attendance at the meeting and has supported the development of key pieces of work, raising awareness of the impact the court delays are having on victims of domestic and sexual abuse, supporting a more co-ordinated approach in terms of children’s services with the local domestic abuse service providers and we are about to start a piece of work on highlighting the challenges faced by victims who have no recourse to public funds.

We have had two new courses accredited during this period and are working towards getting another two accredited this year. The two accredited courses are ‘Awareness and Impact of Domestic Abuse’ and ‘Female Genital Mutilation’. We have also developed some new and interactive training sessions focused on Disability and Domestic Abuse and delivered these to professional non-statutory services.

Our CEO, Nicci, was nominated to Chair the Southampton Domestic & Sexual Abuse Operational Group.

Annual Review 2023-24

ACHIEVEMENTS & HIGHLIGHTS

We consulted widely to support the development of our new five-year strategy and collated feedback from a variety of partners. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and we held a launch event in November 2023 which was well attended. We look forward to reviewing the impact over the coming years.

In October 2023, we secured the Hampshire Therapy Contract for Southampton, Test Valley and Eastleigh as well as the Hampshire and Isle of Wight wide Frankie Worker Children and Young People’s Therapeutic Contract. These contracts were mobilised efficiently, including the transfer of existing staff and service users. For the first 6 months of this contract, we focused on quality assurance, updating systems and processes so we could meet the requirements of the contracts. We continue to work closely with local authorities across the county and develop our relationships with other agencies.

We have also developed a new Domestic Abuse Recovery Programme for those who have experienced domestic abuse. The parent/ carer will attend the You & Me Mum Women’s Accredited Course and their children who are aged between 3-5 years, access Play Therapy with a qualified therapist experienced in working with children. Such early intervention is rare across the country and we would like to commission independent research to review the effectiveness of the service. This will also enable us to share learning and recommendations both locally and nationally.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH, TRAINING & CONSULTANCY

We attended a number of events at Solent and Southampton University including Freshers’ Fayres, Mental Health days and International Women’s Day celebrations.

We have had some of our training courses accredited and have been rolling these out to local professionals. We have also led training to each of the local police forces on trauma informed processes. In the last year we have also delivered whole team in person training in the following areas: Safeguarding, Diversity & Inclusion, Gender Identity, Trauma Informed Practice.

Our CEO has supported other local charities - the support has included sharing expertise including; commissioned contracts, recruitment and retention, income generation, service user management systems, referral and triage processes to therapeutic best practice.

Annual Review 2023-24

COLLABORATION WITH OTHERS

We have developed two independent evaluation projects this year; the first was with Solent University who evaluated a project that the STAR team have been facilitating, which focused on tackling Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) by working with young men in secondary schools to challenge sexism, misogyny and VAWG.

The second evaluation was with Bournemouth University who evaluated our specialist Advocate Educator roles. The evaluation assessed the effectiveness of the support provided and made recommendations for future commissioning of support in Southampton. The services are all innovative and will provide recommendations and learning locally and nationally. We held dissemination events for both and have presented at local strategic and operational Boards. This work has been highly rewarding and we will continue with an independent review of our Early Years work beginning in 2024/25.

We secured the Sexual Crime Therapeutic Contract for Southampton and Western Hampshire. This has given us the opportunity to work in partnership with Community First and the You Trust, we have been working closely and sharing best practice in several areas, for example; therapeutic standards, working with children, recruitment, and marketing.

As we diversify our funding landscape, we are delighted to be supported by new opportunities from corporate partners, trusts, foundations and local authorities. Special thanks go to the National Lottery Community Fund, Children in Need, The Charles Hayward Foundation, Zurich Community Trust, Global Make Some Noise, the Henry Smith Foundation, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Foundation, Wave 105, Hampshire’s Office for the Police and Crime Commissioner, Southampton City Council, and Hampshire County Council for their support.

A further thank you to Jack Terry (Lifestyle and Advertising Photographer London | Jack Terry Photography) and Lisa Bretherick (www.lisaimages.com) who have taken the photographs used in this report.

We are also so grateful for all the feedback from our service users and proud to include some of this in our annual review. All quotes are used in their original format without editing.

FRANKIE WORKER CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE’S THERAPEUTIC SERVICE

Yellow Door secured the Frankie Worker Service contract in October 2023. The Frankie Worker Service is inspired by Frankie, an adult survivor of child sexual abuse who is now in her early 20s. Frankie was considered a happy child, ‘gifted and talented’ until being sexually abused at a young age and over a number of years by a family friend. Frankie says she was not offered trauma support and was eventually sectioned under the Mental Health Act. Frankie believes that had her trauma been dealt with, she would have coped and recovered better.

YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Yellow Door (Solent) (the ‘charity’) for the year ended 31 March 2024 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 Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

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 charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the Board of 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 annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board of Trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared, which includes the directors' report prepared for the purposes of company law, is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors' report included within the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors' report included within the trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
the Board of Trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the trustees' report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of Board of Trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the Board of Trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the Board of 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 Board of Trustees are responsible for assessing the charity’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 Board of Trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

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

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:

the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience.
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation.
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud.
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

Audit response to risks identified

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions.
tested a sample of BACS payments to identify payments being made to unexpected bank accounts.
performed transactional testing on payroll costs in respect of those employees with responsibility or authority in connection with the payroll function.
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias.
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
reading minutes of those charged with governance

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

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 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Yellow Door (Solent) is a private charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales and registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales. The registered office is 30 Brookvale Road, Southampton, Hampshire, SO17 1QR.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the Board of Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Board of Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Board of Trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Board of Trustees for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.4 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:

Donations and legacies are received by way of donations and gifts and are included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charitable company where this can be quantified and reliably measured. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), volunteer time is not recognised, for more information about their contribution refer to the Trustees’ Report.
Investment income is included when receivable.
Income from charitable trading activities is accounted for when earned.
Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, is accounted for as the charitable company earns the right to consideration by its performance.
Income is deferred where either the income relates to a future accounting period or where income is received for delivery of a service and that service has not been fully delivered at the year end. In these circumstances, the income is recognised in line with the service delivery and any excess is deferred.

YELLOW DOOR (SOLENT)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 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.

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.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

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

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold property 2% straight line basis Office equipment 15% reducing balance and 25% straight line basis

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.7 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.8 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and 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 and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Taxation

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

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Board of Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

There are no items in the Financial Statements where judgements and estimates would have a significant effect on amounts recognised in the Financial Statements.
