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

## **UTULIVU WOMENS GROUP**
## **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.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
Utulivu woman's group is led by board of trustees who meets on a quarterly basis and are responsible for the directions and strategic and policy of the charity

**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.

- Expenditure on These comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income, fundraising raising funds trading costs and investment management costs. Expenditure on These comprise the costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and charitable activities services in the furtherance of its objects, including the making of grants and governance costs.

- Governance costs These include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the Charity, including any audit/independent examination fees, costs linked to the strategic management of the Charity, together with a share of other administration costs.
- Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.
## **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.

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