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: - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - Observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102); - Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 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. Signed on behalf of the directors Sue Key Chair Approved by the Trustees on 9 August 2023 - 14 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **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: - (1) which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities - 15 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH** **TYNESIDE** _(continued)_ ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** have not been met or; (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

These financial statements were approved by the members of the committee and authorised for issue on 9 August 2023 and are signed on their behalf by: Sue Key– Chair The notes on pages 19 to 36 form part of these financial statements - 18 - ## **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. - 19 - **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: - (i) Charitable activities include all costs relating to activities where the primary aim is part of the objects of the charity along with the indirect costs. All of the direct costs have been included within this cost heading. The indirect costs, i.e. support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories based on room availability. - (ii) Cost of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds. - (iii) Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements. ## **Staff costs and overhead expenses** Staff costs and overhead expenses are allocated to activities on the basis of staff time spent on these activities. - 20 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **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. - 21 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **3 Accounting policies** _(continued)_ ## **Funds** The funds held by charity are either: - Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes; or - Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Funds are held as restricted funds until such time as the purposes for which the funds were received have been fulfilled, at which time they are transferred to general funds; or - Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes. In the year ended 31 March 2023 designated funds relate to the building fund (i.e. on-going maintenance of the building), a general reserve (i.e. to retain a minimum of three months reserves) and the redundancy fund. ## **Financial instruments** The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. - 22 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **4 Statement of Financial Activities for the prior year** |**_Note_**

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. - 36 - **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **MANAGEMENT INFORMATION YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** **The following pages do not form part of the statutory financial statements which are subject to the independent examiner’s report on pages 16 to 17.** - 37 - ## **WOMEN’S HEALTH IN SOUTH TYNESIDE** ## **COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE** ## **MANAGEMENT INFORMATION** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** |**Income**
