OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Promoting healthy living through workshops/seminars and trainings. Welcoming and supporting women and their families from abroad. Workshops on education for both women, young people and men. Enhancing social networks through outings, picnics, holidays and exchange programmes. Empowering children/young people through drama, music, poetry etc. Promoting cultural awareness. Providing volunteering opp It was another year of great achievement during difficult times. This validates the fact that it is in the hard times great organisations/leaders show up something I have daily witnessed in the Utulivu trustees and volunteers.

This virtual conference brought together the mainstream services, local authorities in Berkshire and the grassroot communities and focused on how Mental health was affecting the communities and how they were managing that. Access to the support services was discussed and especially on the food banks

Trustees Annual Report

Utulivu partnered with other grassroot communities, the mainstream services and business and explored ways to fill the gaps brought in by the health inequalities. This also helped in raising awareness of the support services available and how to access them. A health Inequalities song was composed by those with lived experiences on some of the ways to fill the gaps. This was well embraced by the services and sought to work more with the grassroot communities.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The year’s theme was ‘Together We Thrive’. This was very timely given that it was in the midst of the 1st wave of the covid-19 which had claimed many lives especially from the BAME. The conference encouraged to keep together and especially in supporting those most vulnerable within their communities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Utulivu woman's group has had a considerable success in securing funding for ongoing and future projects.

UTULIVU WOMENS GROUP Independent Examiners Report

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of UTULIVU WOMENS GROUP

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of UTULIVU WOMENS GROUP for the year ended 31 May 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act'). The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s.144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I can confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts.

In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

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

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
