WELCOME FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Sadly, the trade in human exploitation did not cease because of Covid-19, and neither did our resolve to support victims.

aimed to highlight the role of branding in modern slavery, and how tattooists could play a vital role in both spotting the signs of trafficking and helping survivors reclaim their bodies.

Simon Young Chair of Trustees

In spite of multiple lockdowns and restrictions being imposed, 2021-22 saw us expand, innovate and diversify our services, opening a brand-new safe house in the south of England, increasing capacity in existing shelters and launching seven new hubs in England to extend our work with female survivors in the community - the latter being made possible through the awarding of a £1million grant from the Tampon Tax Fund.

Modern slavery cannot be defeated by the actions of one person alone. These achievements are the result of an extraordinary concerted and collaborative effort: the courage and determination of our clients, the dedication and resilience of our staff, volunteers and partners, and the belief shown in us by our funders and supporters. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who has played their part in 2021-22 and hope this report will inspire you to get involved in the work of freeing lives from slavery and exploitation.

Garry Smith Chief Executive

Looking back at the past twelve months we are tremendously proud of the work we do and what we’ve achieved, continuing to provide not only a safe haven every day for victims rescued from slavery and human trafficking, but instilling hope and equipping those within our care to go on and live fulfilled, empowered lives in their chosen communities.

In 2021-22 we launched a pioneering initiative called Victims’ Voices, training 24 staff members to gather legally and exploitation. admissible video evidence from survivors who would otherwise be reluctant to speak directly with police about their financially. experiences, and offering to support them throughout the judicial process. Prosecution of Simon Young the perpetrators of this heinous Chair of Trustees crime is an important step in a survivor’s recovery from the trauma of slavery, with those Garry Smith successfully brought to justice Chief Executive acting as a deterrent to other traffickers and gangmasters and facilitating further disruption to their supply chains.

We are very grateful for all who continue to support our work prayerfully, practically and financially.

Back in 2020 we developed a new five-year strategy to re-focus our activities in the face of the ever-changing and challenging context of modern-day slavery. As a result, we committed to three further P’s – People, Property and Profile - to support delivery of the four existing ones – Protection, Prevention, Prosecution and Partnerships, enabling us to continually improve the support we offer our clients. At the time we could not have anticipated the arrival of a global pandemic and the lengths to which our services would need to adapt in response to it.

We also continued to speak up for victims through our advocacy programmes, launching a new podcast series to mark antislavery day. The Tattooists against Traffickers campaign

ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS

INTRODUCTION

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the accounts and comply with the Medaille Trust's Articles, the Companies Act 2006 and the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", (FRS102). The principal activity of the Charity is the provision of support for those who have been victims of human trafficking. This support is given by providing safe housing and such other support as may be necessary.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE & MANAGEMENT

The Medaille Trust is both a limited company and a registered charity. All Trustees are directors of the company and vice versa. New Trustees are largely recruited by personal recommendation, there are currently no vacancies, but as and when these arise the board will actively recruit for those with suitable skills and experience to fill them. Once recruited Trustees undergo a structured induction process.

The Chair of Trustees maintains close contact with the CEO to whom the day-to-day operational management is delegated. The Trust is governed by Articles of Association lodged with Companies House.

RECRUITMENT & APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES

The organisation seeks to ensure that there is diversity of experience among the Trustees. Regular meetings identify the strengths and weaknesses amongst the skill set of the Trustees and the Board has actively and successfully recruited new members to improve the efficiency of the board.

TRUSTEE

INDUCTION & TRAINING

Prospective Trustees become familiar with the practical work of the charity through their presence at meetings and visits to safe houses. All Trustees are invited and encouraged to attend an annual away day, Board meetings and visit all services in order to familiarise themselves with the charity and its work. A variety of documents exist to use when Trustees are inducted and all are provided with a full set of the Trust's Policies and Procedures.

ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE

The Trustees meet on a regular, formal, basis, at least four times per year but more often when required. During COVID-19 restrictions meetings were held by video-conference but since the lifting of restrictions we have adopted a hybrid model with some trustees meeting face to face and others joining via video conference.

At the regular quarterly meetings, the Trustees approve the Charity's Strategy and areas for activity and monitor progress against key action plans. In addition, they receive reports from the Chief Executive Officer to enable them to monitor the management of the day-today activities (which they have delegated to that officer and the supporting Service Managers) and provide formal approval for proposed action where necessary. In addition, the Risk Register is reviewed at each meeting and any significant budget variations.

None of the Trustees have any beneficial interest in the Company.

The Charity receives management services and support from Caritas Diocese of Salford , which works from a similar ethos and has many years' experience of health and social care. The objectives and activities of that Charity are to provide care for others in need and are therefore compatible with the objectives and activities of this Charity.

INTERNAL CONTROL - MANAGING RISK

The Trustees have reviewed the Charity's risk management procedures. In the course of the review the Trustees determine the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, the potential impact if an individual risk materialises and what mitigating actions are in place, or need to be put in place, in order to reduce each risk to a level which the Trustees consider to be acceptable.

They have recorded this position in a Risk Register and encapsulated the necessary risk mitigation action. This Plan classifies the risks into the following four categories:

• Governance - which incorporates the risks at a strategic level, issues of compliance and Board management.

• Operational - which incorporates those risks which impact the Trust's services thereby damaging the ability to provide a quality assured service.

• Financial - being those risks which could lead to a significant reduction in the Charity's assets.

• External - incorporating those risks, largely beyond the control of the Trust such as changes in legislation that might impact adversely on the Trust.

The principal specific risk to which the charity is currently exposed is financial.

The pay of key managers and other staff is set by the board of trustees before the new financial year. The trustees apply three criteria in deciding the level of pay:

• The impact of each post on the trust's stated objective of the elimination of human trafficking/modern slavery

• The external jobs market and the level of pay needed to attract managers with the required skills

• The financial resources and financial sustainability of the trust

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD

The board have set up an Audit and Risk Committee which meets periodically to give a focus on various areas of risk, including any issues identified by our external auditors. A Remuneration committee has also been set up which meets as and when necessary to consider various aspects of staff remuneration and terms and conditions of employment.

VISION, VALUES AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

VALUES

VISION

Medaille Trust is a clientfocussed charity that equips victims of modern slavery to become survivors. We will act with:

Our vision is a world where people are free from exploitation through human trafficking and modern slavery.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

• RESPECT

Embracing the diversity and human dignity of our team and our clients, we will treat everyone with respect both inside and outside our organisation

1. PROTECTION

3. PREVENTION

we offer protection 365 days of the year to victims of modern slavery - including their dependants - from initial assistance following police raids, to providing safe and comfortable accommodation for up to 116 victims every day, through to ongoing support in the community, helping equip survivors to live independent lives.

we raise awareness about modern slavery and support initiatives both in the UK and globally to help prevent those who are vulnerable from falling prey to traffickers and exploitation

4. PARTNERSHIPS

we partner with government and public-sector agencies, churches, charities, businesses and individuals to combat, and bring an end to, modern slavery.

2. PROSECUTION

we work with law enforcement agencies to prosecute the perpetrators of modern slavery and human trafficking crimes, causing disruption to supply chains, reinforcing deterrents and seeking justice for survivors.

We achieve this difference by supporting and empowering our clients and those that work alongside them; by advocating on behalf of those we support to influence policymaking and discourse around modern slavery ensuring survivor voices are at its heart; and collaborating with others to unite against human exploitation.

1 PROTECTION

FIRST RESPONSE

As a charity, our aim is to provide an end-to-end service, providing immediate support to modern slavery victims during their rescue. Medaille Trust is one of only a small number of NGOs designated as First Responders. This means we can be called upon to help identify and support potential victims of modern slavery. Not every organisation working in this sector has this role. Although it’s a vital role, we receive no funding for it. We acted as a First Responder 25 times in 2021-22.

SAFE HOUSES

Medaille Trust has supported victims of human trafficking and modern slavery for 15 years. We have been a specialist partner with the government’s Modern Slavery Victim Care Contract since its commencement in 2011, providing a safe haven for those fleeing exploitation.

We operate nine safe houses in England for men, women and families, accommodating up to 116 victims. In each house, our trained staff help rebuild lives: assisting with asylum claims, organising medical treatment, reconnecting victims with their loved ones, supporting clients to develop new skills and moving on into employment and independent living.

In January 2021, as part of our strategy to enhance our property portfolio, we purchased a new shelter in the diocese of Portsmouth – the location of Medaille Trust’s first safe house in 2006. The new facility forms part of a larger, more holistic, service in the area, encompassing the original safe house plus a brand-new outreach project. The project helps female victims move on from safe-house accommodation and successfully integrate into the community through the provision of more extensive support.

In common with the rest of England, safe house staff and clients adapted to life under coronavirus restrictions, implementing new staffing and health & safety policies to protect staff and clients and keep outbreaks to a minimum. Staff worked hard to create and modify activity programmes for residents and their children running craft and karaoke sessions, online ESOL classes, social events, with clients also sharing their own skills such as manicuring and baking to keep everyone occupied.

TACU’S STORY SURVIVOR STORY

Following police

He said:

intervention, Tacu came to stay in one of our safe houses. He had been a victim of ‘cuckooing’. It is a term used for when drug dealers take over a vulnerable person’s home and through threats of – or actual – violence, coerce them into selling drugs. As a result, Tacu was drug-dependent and struggled with his mental health.

My life has changed because of Medaille Trust and my special caseworker. Today, I am debt-free, my health is fixed and I feel better and happy. Medaille has given me hope. I believe in myself again. I’m not afraid anymore. I have faith again. I have a beautiful house and I am very grateful. I’m ready to start a new life.

During his rest and recovery period, Tacu overcame many challenges. He used this time to improve his mental wellbeing and to address and reduce his debt. This placed him in a better position to achieve his goals of becoming financially independent and transition from safe-house accommodation. Upon leaving, Tacu brought flowers and chocolates for the staff to say ‘thank you’ for the support they had provided.

DIG FOR FREEDOM PROJECT CASE STUDY

In our Southern and Mersey services, brilliant volunteers worked with our staff and clients to bring the power of nature into our safe houses through gardening.

Since its inception, the allotment in our Southern service has been a great help to clients. They have found the activity of planting, caring, and harvesting fruits and vegetables a very rewarding experience. As client movement was inhibited by the Covid-19 lockdown, the allotment was a vital help, even though it was unusable for long periods. As a result, our current clients have been able to follow through all the growing seasons. After their hard work, clients look forward to enjoying a drink and a snack together. Thanks to generous support from the Charles Plater Trust and the hard work of Allotment Coordinator Emily, the allotment project at Mersey started to reap many rewards. Emily and the clients spent the first few months preparing the ground and planting vegetables. Herbs were planted in the garden along with garlic, peppers, peas, beans, mixed salad leaves, courgettes, tomatoes, beetroot, sweetcorn, chard, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprouts, spring onions and shallots. Moving from one season to another, clients enjoyed the taste of home grown produce, and even donated some of the harvest of lettuce to the local food bank. Picnic benches were installed for

clients to enjoy the nice weather in the garden and maintain the vegetable plants by weeding and pruning.

Casework and befriending: conducting needs assessment and support plans to meet the needs and aspirations of each individual

Thanks to a £1 million grant from the Tampon Tax Fund we were able to commence delivery of our Moving On Project (MOP), alongside partners, the Snowdrop Project.

Almost 50% of survivors in the community had four or more self-declared support needs

Physical and mental wellbeing:

helping women to access counselling and signposting to appropriate health services for support with complex mental and physical health problems

The MOP is an extensive community-based outreach programme for women across England who have suffered abuse, violence and exploitation as a result of human trafficking and modern slavery. Currently, once they leave a safe house, survivors have no guaranteed access to long-term support which can leave them vulnerable to re-exploitation and further harm.

Education and employment: helping women access education, training and employment courses and community volunteering opportunities

Community integration: running monthly activity classes and drop-in sessions and helping women participate in community activities

We launched project hubs in seven locations across England over the year, linking up with our Central, Coastal, London East, London West and Southern services, and expanded our work with female survivors in the North West and the West Midlands. The types of support we offer include:

Access to justice: supporting women throughout the process and conducting legally admissible interviews

Independent living:

helping women to understand their rights and entitlements and empowering them to advocate for themselves

Life is hard for people without papers. When I first left the safe house and I didn’t have a caseworker, I was so depressed I called every day asking for my support worker. When I was brought to MOP it was like the stress in my head was taken away.”

Quote from client (London Hub)

‘achieving best evidence’ (ABE) standards. This means the evidence gathered can be used in criminal proceedings on behalf of police and law enforcement. The project aims to empower more women to seek justice through providing opportunities to tell their story in a comfortable environment, at their own time and pace. Experiences show that some survivors find it difficult to give evidence, either because of distrust of authority, stigma regarding forms of exploitation -

Victims’ Voices was launched in May, empowering modern slavery survivors to pursue judicial outcomes against their perpetrators.

This ground-breaking initiative involved training 24 selected caseworkers to undertake interviews with survivors of modern slavery that meet

Extract from: INDEPENDENT ANTI-SLAVERY COMMISSIONER ANNUAL REPORT 2021-2022

I have also been monitoring the Medaille Trust’s ‘Victims’ Voices’ project that supports survivors to engage with the criminal justice system. The project began last year and has successfully trained 24 staff members across a series of safe houses to support survivors and digitally record ‘best evidence’ interviews that can be used in criminal proceedings. Ten interviews have been recorded so far of which seven have supported police to pursue prosecutions in relation to domestic servitude, forced and compulsory labour and sexual exploitation. The Trust intends to continue embedding the skills across safe houses to encourage survivor recovery and bring perpetrators to justice.

in particular sex work - and fear of repercussions for family and friends back home. By using experienced case workers, who are not police officers or authority figures, in familiar surroundings, survivors who would not otherwise have given evidence or supported criminal prosecutions, will be able to seek justice. This new approach will help to address the current imbalance in the criminal justice system where convictions for modern slavery offences remain persistently low.

ADVOCACY

An important aspect of Medaille’s work is advocacy, using our first-hand knowledge and experience of modern slavery to speak out with, and on behalf of, the victims we support.

In 2021 we continued to raise awareness of this horrific trade in order to influence consumer behaviour, policy-making and legislation.

TATTOOISTS AGAINST ANTI-SLAVERY DAY 2021 TRAFFICKING

For Anti-Slavery Day on 18th October, we launched a series of five short podcasts which aimed to shine a light on the experience of modern slavery using the power of words.

In July, our CEO Garry Smith gave a TEDX Talk at Bristol University entitled’ Debranding & Freedom from Modern Slavery’, highlighting Medaille Trust’s recent work alongside tattoo artists to reveal how traffickers use branding to assert their authority and ownership over their victims. He shared how, in collaboration with the tattoo community, we were able to offer survivors the chance to reclaim their bodies through the transformation of unwanted tattoos into expressions of hope and freedom. The talk has been viewed over 1500 times.

Each podcast featured a short monologue, telling the story of modern slavery from a different perspective; from the survivor, to the perpetrator, their supporters and their family. The monologues were produced by Alison Porter at the University of Warwick and featured professional actors who volunteered to be a part of the production. Each podcast includes a discussion on the issues raised in the monologue, featuring different guests each time.

To mark World Day against Trafficking in Persons, we produced a short film ( www.medaille-trust.org. uk/tattoos/tattooistsagainst-traffickers ) telling one client’s story of finding freedom through her de-branding.

We also joined forces with the Coalition to Stop Slavery to call for a formalised process to include survivors in consultations on anti-slavery legislation and policy, urging supporters to contact their local MPs.

Medaille Trust recognises that no one organisation can end modern slavery on its own and therefore we are committed to working with organisations that share our values, a selection of which are shown by their logos below.

PUBLIC BENEFIT In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commision's guidance on public benefit, including the guidance 'public benefit: running a charity'.

The majority of our fundraising is centred on trusts and foundations and voluntary donations. We produce a magazine three times a year which tells our supporters about our work. There is an opportunity for supporters to make a donation to the Trust, should they wish to do so.

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and we have extensive Privacy Policies available on our website, including how we collect and store personal information. We also have a Complaints Policy. During the year, no complaints were received.

The Trust had a turnover in the year of £5,112,529 (2021: £3,919,768) and generated a surplus of £542,413 (2021: £182,114). The surplus experienced is mainly due to the very generous transfer of ownership of one of our tenanted properties from Community of St John Baptist General Purposes CIO. Had we not received the donated property, we would have had an expected deficit, which was predicted, due to the large amounts of designated funds at the Year-end of 2021 for capital and health and safety works at our various properties.

The principal sources of funds for the charity this year can be split between the public funds received, both from our contract and the grant awarded at the beginning of 2021, the private charitable donations from all sources and the donation of the property.

Our properties continued to be a focal point in the financial year. Besides the designated reserve of £200,000 for health and safety works in the year, we spent an extra £43,800 designated during the year and another £202,668 in various repairs in our properties bringing the total spent in our properties in the year to £446,468.

The contract fulfilment was £3,092,608 (2021: £3,049,320). This was slightly lower than expected due to less accommodation available at one of our locations. The capital designated reserve was created to generate the extra spaces needed and we expect these works to be completed by the middle of 2022/2023 year. The full year of grant fulfilment for our Moving on project has contributed an extra £677,365 (2021: £102,306) in revenue.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF MEDAILLE TRUST

OPINION

We have audited the financial statements of Medaille Trust (‘the charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement 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 2022 and of 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 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 trustee's 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 trustees are responsible for

the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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 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 thework • undertaken in the course of our audit

• the information given in the trustees’ report, which • includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which •

• the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the directors’ report included within the trustees’ • report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE

REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In light of the knowledge and

understanding of the charitable company and their 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 and proper accounting records have not been kept; 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 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’ directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF MEDAILLE TRUST (CONTINUED)

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 23, 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.

AUDITORS’ 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.

Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and non- compliance with laws and regulations are set out below.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: 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 noncompliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.

In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the charitable company for fraud. The laws and regulations we considered in this context for the UK operations were Employment Legislation.

Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

We identified the greatest risk of

material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within the timing of recognition of income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases, reviewing regulatory correspondence with the Charity Commission and

reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance and sample testing on revenue to supporting information.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

COMPANY INFORMATION

The principal

The charity is a company limited by guarantee (registered number 5965380) which is incorporated and domiciled in the UK.

accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

GOING CONCERN

During the Coronavirus pandemic, all nine safe houses remained fully operational and therefore there was no material effect on the Trust’s income or cash flow. The trustees have reviewed the forecasts and budgets for the period ended 31 August 2023 and are confident that the charity is a going concern.

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 accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 October 2019) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.

INCOMING RESOURCES

This comprises amounts receivable for the year, where the criteria of certainty, entitlement and measurement have been achieved. Donated services and facilities are recognised as an incoming resource and equivalent expense where quantifiable.

The Medaille Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated.

RESOURCES EXPENDED

The company recognises expenses on the accruals basis. Governance costs are charged on a direct cost basis and include audit and legal costs.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

AND DEPRECIATION

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: Buildings, Fixtures, fittings & equipment 4 – 40 years straight line. Items less than £1,000 are not capitalised.

RESTRICTED FUNDS

Any income given to the company for a specific purpose has been separately identified so as to ensure that it is spent as the donor dictated.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Medaille Trust Limited has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic Financial Instruments are initially recognised at the transaction value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using an effective interest method. Financial assets are held at amortised cost comprise cash and bank in hand, together with trade and other debtors. Financial liabilities held at amortised cost comprise bank loans and overdrafts, trade and other creditors.

PENSION COSTS

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING

JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to wages and salaries in the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the assets of the charity.

In the application of the entity’s accounting policies which are described on page 23, the Trustees are required to make judgments, estimates, assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying 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 on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.

In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
