Risk Management

The Trustees have established regular reporting systems in order to establish whether any major strategic or operational risks are faced by the Charity. The trustees have assessed the risks the charity faces and have drawn up a risk matrix which identifies the major risks by area of activity, the nature of those risks, the likelihood of the risks happening and the measures taken to manage them. The trustees review this risk matrix regularly at their meetings and at meetings of the subcommittee on finance. The trustees are satisfied that systems are in place, or arrangements are in hand, to manage the risks that have been identified. In particular, insurance cover is in place, and the finances of Aanchal are kept under review. Appropriate Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks, supported by regularly reviewed policies, are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups. In the opinion of the Trustees, the sufficient systems and procedures are in place to manage any risks identified.

IMPACT

In 2024/25, we supported 1965 unique beneficiaries.

Page 5

AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD

Company Limited by Guarantee

Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

Aanchal received 442 referrals into first contact front line support, requiring advocacy, information, advice, housing, safeguarding, legal support, immigration advice and support with criminal justice processes.

75 were Self Referrals, 119 partner referrals and 248 GP referrals

166 children were supported individually.

23.4% of beneficiaries were Pakistani, 18.8% Bangladeshi, 17.5% Indian

32.4% beneficiaries were between the ages of 26-35 years and

7.5% beneficiaries aged 55 and above - a slowly growing increase

Types of Support given:

122 women had No Recourse to Public Funds

248 required Post Crisis Support, referred by GPs and health services

122 women committed to a 13-week intense therapeutic trauma informed program.

72 women required high risk interventions

774 women and girls accessed Out of Hours Helpline - a Need to Reach Out

106 women joined weekly Chai Chat on-line Support Groups regularly

684 women joined our events to discuss topical issues and have a voice

15 women were recruited to an Lived Experience Expert Panel to influence local VAWG Strategy. 75 women we supported were on spouse visas and 23 on Indefinite Leave to Remain

In 2024/5, following our initial transformations, the rise in demand for services continued to rise, together with a rise in the intensity of support needs with multiple, complex layers.

Presenting Challenges:

1) Increase in service demand.

• 2) Intensified focus on Safeguarding Performance Indicators

3) Response to wider diversity of beneficiary capabilities

• 4) Recruitment and Sustainment of skilled staff

Strategic Response to above:

• 1) Responding to service demand; carry out capacity audit, staff training, re-design of front line operational structure and infrastructure.

• 2) Development of Pilot safe space (a high risk safeguarding concern - current gap in support networks). Increased interactions with multi-agency systems, initiating meetings with local VAWG leads to understanding workload of all partners to agree local coordinated response to rising demand, using partner skill sets to increase collaborations.

• 3) Transform access to Aanchal services to enable women from a wide range of capabilities accessing help, to ensure we are flexible and adaptable to increase their capacity to reach us with ease.

• 4) Develop volunteer and training strategies. Currently working on volunteering opportunities, reaching out to University of East London volunteer initiatives.

We continued our front line response programmes, low, medium and high risk Domestic Abuse and Violence Response, Rebuilding Lives Programmes, Children's support and growth in our Well Being

and Engagement Programmes. We successfully mobilised and implemented our new projects, funded by IRISi, training GPs in Redbridge and Havering and increasing early intervention access as well as post crisis emerging needs due to systemic challenges faced by beneficiaries. Thanking all our funders over the year 2024-2025.

Principal Funding Sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of grant, The Coutts Foundation, City Bridge Trust, The Tudor Trust, The National Lottery Community Fund, MOPAC, Henry Smith Charity, Victim Reduction Unit.

Aside from retaining a prudent amount in reserves each year most of the charity's funds are to be spent in the short term so there are few funds for long-term investment.

Reserves Policy

The Management Committee has examined the charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. The reserves will be built to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the Management Committee are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Examples include:

• ? To sustain current services and infrastructure.

• ? The option to develop new services or expand current ones in line with the changing needs of the community.

• ? To ensure that delays in the receipt of expected income do not interrupt services or cause serious financial difficulty for the charity.

• ? The ability to survive unexpected set backs and problems arising from internal or external causes

Reserves are held for 9 months running costs, redundancy, maternity, equipment recovery costs. The strategy is to continue to build reserves through planned operating surpluses. In the short term the Management Committee has also considered the extent to which existing activities and expenditure could be curtailed, should such circumstances arise. Aanchal Women's Aid considers Designated Funds, Restricted funds, and Free Reserves. Money should only be kept in reserve for specific reasons for sensible planning for known events. It would be prudent to keep 9 months running costs (£350,000). Free reserves target should be a minimum of £60,000

Funds Available

Funds available at the period end are both restricted and unrestricted and details are contained in the notes to the accounts.

Plans for future periods

The charity plans prioritising it's core activities which are front-line domestic violence advice, advocacy, and reduction of risk to life, limb, and life. Our fundraising strategy outlines the necessity of continuation of this work and develops other activities which strongly complement the welfare of women and children escaping domestic abuse. Supporting services will include empowerment programmes, education, and preventative activities and as a result of Covid affects, increase provisions that enhance connectivity with individuals and the community.

Responsibilities of the Management Committee

Company law requires the Management Committee to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year.

the company will continue on that basis

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD

Year ended 31 March 2025

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of 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:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31 March 2025 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;

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.

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 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 trustees are responsible for the other information. 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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 the audit:

• the information given in the trustees' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the trustees' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 trustees' report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011 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.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD

Company Limited by Guarantee

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud: To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (fraud risks) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate and incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedure included: • Enquiring of director and key managements personnel as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. • Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit. As required by auditing standards, we performed procedures to address the risk of management override of controls, in particular the risk of bias in accounting estimates and judgements such as impairment. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because there is no pressure on management to achieve an expected revenue target as as it is an owner run business. Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatements due to non-compliance with Law and regulations: We identified areas of law and regulation that could reasonably be expected to have material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial sector experience and through our discussion with Directors We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. Firstly, the company is subject to law and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation, taxation legislation, pension legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statements items. Secondly the company is subject to many other law and regulations where the consequences of non -compliances could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines and litigations. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect; health and safety, GDPR, employment law. We discussed with our Audit team and director matters related to actual and suspected breaches of law and regulations, for which disclosure is not necessary and considered any implications for our audit. Our Audit procedure are designed to detected material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all law and regulations.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 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 audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of AANCHAL WOMEN'S AID LTD (continued)

Year ended 31 March 2025

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity'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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 1 Holstock Road, Ilford, Essex, IG1 1LG.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties 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 uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

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 based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. None of the judgements (apart from those involving estimations) that management has made in the process of applying the entity's accounting policies and that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds 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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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 delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned 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 aims for the benefit 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, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

All fixed assets are initially recorded at cost.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

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 that asset as follows:

Equipment

• 20% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

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 is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable 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 unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the 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 to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.

4. Limited by guarantee

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.00.
