RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required by law to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that 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 Companies Act 2006. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking responsible steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

A resolution to re-appoint Claire Miller of Debére Limited as Independent Examiner for the ensuring year will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting.

SMALL COMPANY PROVISIONS

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

I report on the accounts of Women’s Health in South Tyneside for the year ended 31 March 2023, which are set out on pages 17 to 36.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner

The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of Women’s Health in South Tyneside for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 Act (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE

COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 General information

The charity is 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 Salus House, Mile End Road, South Shields, Tyne and Wear, NE33 1TA.

2 Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and “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.

3 Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies are set out below. The accounting policies have been adopted consistently throughout the year.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The trustees have reviewed and considered relevant information, including the annual budget and future cash flows in making their assessment. Based on these assessments, given the measures that could be undertaken to mitigate the current adverse conditions, and the current resources available, the trustees have concluded that they can continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Cash flow exemption

The charity has elected to adopt the exemption from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that the charity qualifies as a small charity.

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.

WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE

COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

3 Accounting policies (continued)

Incoming resources

Voluntary income includes donations and their associated tax claims, subscriptions (as these are voluntary) and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature. Voluntary income is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when the donor specifies that the grant or donation relates to future accounting periods.

Other income from charitable activities is recognised as earned, as the related services are provided. Grant income included in this category provides funding to support the charitable activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Grant income

Revenue grants are credited to incoming resources on the earlier date of when they are received or when they are receivable, unless they relate to a specific future period, in which case they are deferred.

Capital grants are credited to income when received and form a restricted fund, which will be transferred to unrestricted funds in line with the depreciation on the grant-funded assets. This treatment accords with the requirements of the Charity SORP but not that of Statement of Standard Accounting Practice No 4 “Accounting for Government Grants”.

Interest receivable

Interest is recognised on a receivable basis.

Resources expended

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT. They include:

Staff costs and overhead expenses

Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on these activities.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

3 Accounting policies (continued)

Support cost allocation

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

Pension costs

The charity provides a defined contribution scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost or at market value at the date of the acquisition. Tangible fixed assets are capitalised and included at cost.

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold – 2% straight line Equipment – 25% straight line Database development – 33.33% straight line

Debtors

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.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

Creditors and provisions

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 after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Contingencies for end of contractual term

18 Future Sustainability

We will continue to apply for grant funding to provide a sustainable range of services to support the women in South Tyneside. The extension will enable us to drive forward new initiatives and develop our partnership work.

We have a large asset in the building which we operate from and this is shown in the accounts. The asset has significant restrictions imposed by the Big Lottery Fund for the next 2 years under the terms and conditions of the grant awarded. This appears that the charity is richer on paper than we are in real life.

19 Related party transactions

There have been no related party transactions during the year.

20 Company limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of a winding up, every member undertakes to contribute such an amount as may be required for the payment of liabilities not exceeding a total of £1 each.
