Objectives and activities

Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (TDAS) Mission is “To enable people to break free from domestic abuse”.

Our overall aim is: to relieve the physical and psychological distress of people who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse and make domestic abuse everybody’s business, through intervention, prevention, education and public awareness.

This is achieved by meeting the following objectives:

• The provision of safe and supportive spaces and temporary accommodation for women and children who have or are experiencing domestic abuse.

• Provision of community support service to those people who have experienced domestic abuse.

• To advance the education of the public, and those who work in partnership with the public, private, voluntary, community and social enterprise in issues relating to domestic abuse including its nature, impact and causes.

Activities undertaken for public benefit in relation to objects

In exercising their powers and duties, the Trustees have complied with their duty to have due to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. In planning, discussions and carrying out its objects, TDAS promotes equality of opportunity and opposes any form of discrimination on grounds of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, disability, marriage or civil partnership, religion or belief, gender reassignment, maternity or caring responsibilities.

The trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period. The trustees report the success of each key activity and the benefits the charity has brought to those groups of people that it is set up to help. The review also helps the trustees ensure the charity's aims, objectives and activities remained focused on its stated purposes.

Priorities for 2021-2022 focused on:

Sourcing the resources needed to ensure we can meet the increasing demand for our service considering the pandemic.

Strengthen existing and develop new partnerships to meet the increasing support needs of the families and individuals accessing our services.

Secure long term funding commitment for our whole accommodation offer, increasing the number of bed spaces available to support women and children who need safe housing.

This year we tried to re-focus on our key objectives after the COVID-19 pandemic. The fallout of the pandemic meant our services had never been busier and people we were supporting needed more advocacy, guidance and longer-term support. We continued to deliver our core services, a lot of which returned to pre-pandemic delivery but we also continued to offer new ways of working that had enabled us to be more accessible to survivors.

It was highlighted in our 2020-2021 accounts that staffing costs had increased substantially whilst support costs had remained the same. Due to the increase in our services and demand for such, towards the end of this financial year, we undertook a restructuring exercise which resulted in a new management structure being implemented for April 2022.

Achievements, performance and beneficiaries of our service

TDAS’ main activities and those it seeks to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on delivering our objects and are undertaken to further Trafford Domestic Abuse Services’ charitable purposes for the public benefit.

We received support from several funding bodies to enable us to effectively respond to the effects of COVID-19 which enabled us to meet demand for our services, create flexible services so survivors could still access support, provide the vital equipment needed to keep staff and service users safe and provide emergency funding for families in need. We were also able to mobilise new services during this time with support from the public and funding bodies. We are particularly proud of being able to:

• Mobilise our Reach Project, to provide dedicated support to the most marginalised women and girls;

• Open Blossom House, a new 5 bed family refuge for women and children;

• Increase the number of group work programmes available to adults and children;

• Mobilise a dedicated Male Domestic Abuse Services to support male victims of domestic abuse.

• Partnership with IRISi, Stockport, Tameside and Manchester to deliver ADViSE programme in sexual health clinics.

• Partnership with Respect and Talk Listen Change to pilot the Make a Change Programme in Trafford.

• Dedicated Victims Voice Project to support Trafford Council in their aim to ensure voices of those needing support, shapes current and future provision

In 2021-22 our services reached 4983 individuals through our support line, 1:1 support, group programmes and training.

Thanks to Trafford Community Safety Partnership, we received additional funding from their Standing Together fund to increase the YPVA’s hours so that we could reach more young people in a timely manner.

ADViSE

We were awarded funding from IRISi which is a social enterprise established to promote and improve the health care response to gender based violence. We work in partnership with Stockport, Manchester and Tameside on a programme for use in sexual health clinics to support sexual health staff to recognise the signs and symptoms of women affected by DVA, ask them whether they are affected, give a validating response and to then offer and make referrals to specialist services in line with British Association for Sexual Health and HIV (BASHH) DVA guidance. The programme became live in January 2022 with the evaluation to be shared later in 2022. 18 clinical and administrative staff working in Trafford Sexual health were trained and in January 2022, referrals went live. By the end of March 2022 ADViSE had an active case load.

Make A Change

Make a Change (MAC) is a community-wide, early response approach to people who are concerned that they are using harmful behaviours in their intimate, or previously intimate, relationships. It was developed by Respect in partnership with Women’s Aid Federation England. With thanks to Respect , TDAS were funded to deliver the Integrated partner support and Children’s support element of the contract, alongside Talk Listen Change who deliver the behaviour change programme. The project was launched in Trafford in October 2021.

With thanks to Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) we were able to mobilise our new project dedicated to Male victims of Domestic Abuse . Trafford Council match funded this post to provided dedicated support to males in our dispersed accommodation. The project began in October 2021 and the Male DA Advisor set up domestic abuse surgeries, developed a true colours programme for males and is able to offer longer term outreach support. He has supported 16 males who have been referred to TDAS since 1[st ] November 2021.

Group Programmes

True Colours is our most popular service with demand always exceeding capacity, receiving 302 referrals in 2021-2022. With thanks to Trafford Council public health team, we were able to deliver our programmes virtually as well as face to face to meet the high demand for this service. With this funding we reached 172 women who needed support in understanding the dynamics of domestic abuse and breaking the cycle of abuse enabling them to engage in healthy relationships in the future.

One participant fed back: “Loved meeting everyone and knowing I am not alone in this. It’s been a journey for me and I feel the programme helped me to gain some closure to move on”

Our personal development workshops, Back to Me was delivered to 64 service users.

Feedback included: “I have really enjoyed taking part in the workshops. I am feeling a lot more positive about me and my children’s future now.”

Professionals Training

We continued to deliver our Professionals Training to key stakeholders and volunteers across Trafford during 2021-2022 with the offer of more bespoke training to fit the needs of specific agencies, including social care, health and education. We developed Lunch and Learn sessions to focus on key topics that were extremely successful, and we also introduced DASH and risk management training. We provided these training packages to 1,144 delegates.

“Training was excellent thankyou – gave me a much better understanding of the DASH and drastically improved my confidence in using it” – KS, Health

Accommodation Service

Referrals for our accommodation provision were at an all-time high so the opening of Blossom House in November 2021 was fantastic. It enabled us to add five additional bedspaces for Mothers who have one child.

The Accommodation Service received a total of 336 referrals. We were able to provide support to 103 families in refuge and dispersed and 34 in our Tier 2 Move on Accommodation. Like the previous years, we find most referrals not accepted is due to lack of space.

The move on from our accommodation services became a lot faster during this year as a result of lockdown being lifted and a lot of houses becoming available. Therefore, we saw a much faster turnaround of service users. Despite this we still achieved:

On Exit,

of service users reported that their support networks had improved

of services users reported they felt more confident about asking for help when I need it

of service users were able to move on to their own accommodation

of parents reported that they felt more confident with their parenting skills

We continue to prioritise securing additional accommodation units to reduce the number of people who we have to turn away due to lack of space.

It has been a brilliant year for our volunteer service. Our amazing volunteers and students gave us 4,951 hours of work , equivalent to two full time employees. We were able to run our CBT counselling service and ‘Back to Me’ groups purely with the work of students and volunteers. Along with their hard work and commitment for our day to day support across all of our services.

We inducted, trained and supervised 32 students and volunteers throughout year. We upskilled and employed two volunteers and one and student. We retained four volunteers for over twelve months, with an average of six months retention.

We had a volunteer and student celebration to recognise their everlasting commitment and kindness. We were able to enjoy an afternoon tea with all who attended, where our CEO gave thanks and recognised them as an integral part of our organisation.

Partnerships, Supporters and Donors

In order to deliver our support services, we work with other amazing people and organisations who give their time supporting and/or fundraising, providing donations towards the services we provide and people we support. Without this support we would not have been able to achieve such fantastic outcomes and we are extremely grateful to all of them.

Financial review

This period has again been successful for the charity with an income of £ 1,677,449 and expenditure of £ 1,392,585.

The charities main funding sources were for our accommodation, which supports our first objective of providing safe accommodation for women and children. The domestic abuse bill

13 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

released funds which meant we could streamline our funding, strengthen, and expand our accommodation offer. Central government allocations were still to be confirmed which meant the funding from the domestic abuse bill was initially for 12 months until March 2022.

Accommodation Funding – £357,603 Rental income – £450,910

The opening of Blossom House in November 2022 resulted in an additional rental income of £33,000 for this reporting period and will bring in an additional £91,000 per annum moving forward.

COVID-19 brought about additional financial support for the charity to enable us to adapt our services but also to increase them to meet the increased demand we experienced. We secured £84,000 in this financial year to support with reducing waiting lists and increasing our community provision.

These additional funds meant our frontline staff team increased substantially with staff costs of £822,852 compared to £557,790 the previous year.

We worked with Trafford Council to support the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment across the borough. The results of this will shape future commissioning and service delivery and we worked in partnership with Trafford Council to secure longer term committed funds. Our partnership is in the form of a 5 year grant which coincides with the leases we negotiated on our accommodation units, so we can effectively manage risk.

We worked in partnership with several local organisations to create the Safe in Salford partnership so we could continue to deliver our harbour service. This partnership was successful in securing a 5-year contract with Salford Council and will bring an additional £405,000 income for the charity per year and an additional 7 staff to deliver the Salford IDVA team alongside our already established Harbour service which has 6 staff members delivering the project.

With such a large focus on accommodation and securing longer term contracts, our fundraising and marketing strategy plans were put on hold. With the cost of living crisis the country is experiencing, we need to ensure this is a main focus for the charity in 2022-2023 so we can maintain, specifically our children and young peoples service and grow new ones that have been identified as gaps in provision.

Whilst the domestic abuse bill has brought in increased, longer term funding, we also carry a risk of not being able to secure trust and grant funding for this provision, in particular our children and young people’s service. That being said, the domestic abuse bill now recognises children as victims in their own right which we will support local and national initiatives in recognising the need for dedicated funding for children and young people.

With the success of charity comes the risk of us being ineligible to certain trusts and foundations due to our turnover which again is why it is vital we concentrate on our fundraising strategy to enable us to continue to deliver vital services to individuals and families experiencing domestic abuse. Our increased turnover does open up other avenues for larger government contracts which we will work in partnership with other specialist organisations to secure.

We had a successful year in 2020-2021 reaching many of our objectives as outlined in our business plan, we again had a successful year in 2021-2022 however, the needs of service users changed during COVID-19 and we had to refocus our priorities on meeting demand.

14 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

Despite this refocus, performance against objectives:

Apply to Trusts and Funds for a Young Persons Domestic Abuser Advisor in Trafford to work specifically with teenagers in abusive relationships;

We managed to meet this objective with funding from Henry Smith;

To increase our accommodation provision by 25% by March 2021.

With the funding from Trafford Council, we increased our accommodation by a further 20% (on top of the 31% increase in 2020-2021);

To secure funding to provide our bespoke recovery programmes for women survivors of domestic abuse.

With support from Trafford Council Public Health team, we managed to increase our group programme offer to reduce the waiting lists for our programmes;

Risk management

The trustees regularly review and assess the risks faced by their charity in all areas of its work and plan for the management of those risks. Risk is an everyday part of charitable activity and managing it effectively is essential if we are to achieve our key objectives and safeguard the charity’s funds and assets.

Our risk register is reviewed annually by the board and discussed at board meetings which looks at governance, external risks, regulatory and compliance, financial and operational risks. We have robust internal processes in relation to financial transactions and review our policy and procedures in relation to risk factors at all levels and health and safety controls are in place throughout the organisation.

Policies and procedures are in place to safeguard all service users with stringent recruitment processes and training for all staff and volunteers including safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

Our complaints procedure is accessible to all service users and is available on our website and allows service users to raise concerns either independently, as a group, formally or anonymously with a record kept of each issue and outcome which is presented to the board at each meeting.

Our consultation policy highlights our commitment to ensuring service user voice is central to what we deliver, with feedback, evaluation and regular consultations undertaken.

Fundraising

Whilst our aim is to increase our fundraising activity, during this financial year we did not carry out any significant fundraising activities. We ran small campaigns to support the opening of Blossom house and ran a Women and Girls match fund initiative for our Reach Project via a regulated fundraising platform. All the charity’s fundraising activities are undertaken inhouse by our senior leadership team and we do not have any relationships with external professional fundraisers.

We had no instances of non-compliance with the code of fundraising during the year and have received no complaints through the Charity Commission.

15 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

Our privacy policy is kept up to date and is accessible to everyone via our website and clear instructions are given on how to contact us if anyone should have any grievances with our fundraising activities.

Fundraising activities including small campaigns are shared on our social media platforms and we use the appropriate platforms to undertake this activity. Any direct fundraising requests are made only of supporters who have opted in to receive communications from us, and they can unsubscribe at any time. We received no complaints this year in relation to fundraising activities.

All our staff are well trained in dealing with members of the public and our CEO is also a member of the Foundation of Social Improvement, which provides guidelines and training to ensure that our practices are in line with industry standards.

Reserves policy and current financial position

The total amount of restricted funds as at 31 March 2022 is 155,702.

Continuous efforts have been made to increase the levels of unrestricted funds and reserves. Total funds at 31st March 2022 were £933,668 (2021: £648,804 ,2020: £435,307), this is an increase of £284,864 on the previous year.

The board agreed to continue the commitment made in the last financial year and have designated funds of £10,000 for staff training and development and £10,000 staff contingency fund to support with costs such as enhanced maternity pay and increased staffing costs for high demand projects.

The board have agreed, considering the cost-of-living crisis that we will designate a further £20,000 for increased utility costs that we may experience over the next few years, in particular the costs of running our safe accommodation. The board have agreed this designation as they are aware the financial barrier victims can face when leaving an abusive relationship and if the increase in costs was the sole responsibility of residents, this carries a huge risk of them not being able to afford safe accommodation. The board also agreed because we have increased the number of safe accommodation units we can offer, to designate £36,000 to fund two spaces per annum for women with no recourse to public funds who would ordinarily be excluded from safe accommodation due to being ineligible for financial support.

Current unrestricted funds balance

The accounts show that at 31st March 2022 TDAS carried forward an unrestricted funds balance of £777,966 (2021: £569,993 2020: £339,437) into 2022-23, and free (undesignated) reserves are £701,966. The trustees believe that this is an appropriate level of free reserves given the increase in size and activities over the last year and will cover 5.5 months running costs plus closing down costs.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The governing document of the charitable company is its Memorandum and Articles of association. The charity was incorporated on 6 April 1994 and the memorandum and articles were reviewed in 2019 when changes were made to reflect the organisations decision to widen service delivery of most services.

16 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

Company Status

The company is limited by guarantee and all members have agreed to contribute a sum not exceeding £1 in the event of winding-up. The number of guarantees at 31st March 2021 was 8.

Trustee selection methods

The board comprises a membership of not less than three and no more than fourteen people, who meet bimonthly. A quorum of three Trustees is required at any meeting. TDAS welcomes applications to join the board from all areas of the community, particularly from people with the necessary skills and/or experience to enhance and strengthen the Board. Any person who is interested in becoming a Trustee will be sent an information pack and an application form, which is then discussed by the Trustees and a decision is made on whether the individual will be invited to become and probationary Trustee.

Induction and training of trustees

All probationary Trustees are invited to attend Board meetings and attend at least four meetings with other trustees to discuss whether they feel they are getting to know the organisation and the Chair to answer any questions they may have. The trustee is invited to express any interest they have in a particular area of the organisation’s work, which the Chair then discusses with the CEO and asks her to meet with the Trustee. If the induction period has gone well, the probationary trustee is then formally invited to join the Board after attendance at a minimum of two board meetings.

Organisational Structure

The Trustees oversee the work undertaken by the staff team, monitor performance against targets agreed with funders, and health and safety and safeguarding issues for example. They are also responsible for the strategic direction of the organisation. The CEO attends Board meetings as company secretary, and brings proposals for future work to the Board that have developed out of discussions with service users and staff at their regular team meetings.

The trustees are members of the charity, but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 11 of the accounts.

Towards the end of the financial year, the board reviewed all job descriptions and pay scales in line with NJC and the CEO completed a restructure of the organisation which was implemented in April 2022.

Related Parties and relationships with other organisations

TDAS Services respond to both local, regional and national strategies and we continue to be a key member of strategic partnerships within Trafford, Salford and Greater Manchester. We are affiliated with Womens Aid Federation of England (WAFE), attend Trafford’s multiagency domestic abuse forums to inform local strategy, are members of the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Committee (MARAC) and support Trafford Safeguarding Partnership Board. Our association with other voluntary organisations through collaborative partnership working continues and we have undertaken several joint projects to meet local need.

Our Board of Trustees have accountability and delegate responsibility to the CEO for day-today strategic operations. The Service Manager is responsible for Safeguarding, Policy, Human-Resource, marketing, I.T and GDPR functions and line manages the Team Leaders who are responsible for contract delivery, ensuring standards and outcomes are met and frontline staff are appropriately trained, supported and supervised.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees

The trustees (who are also directors of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which 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. In preparing these 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

● Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

● State whether applicable UK Accounting Standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements

● 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 proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the trustees are aware:

•There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware

•The trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Third Sector Accountancy Limited were re-appointed as the charitable company's auditors during the year and have expressed their willingness to continue in that capacity.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees’ annual report has been approved by the trustees on _______ and signed on their behalf by 20 / 12 / 2022

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of 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 incoming resources and application of resources for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice;

• 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 directors’ 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the trustees report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work

21 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

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 the work undertaken in the course of the 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 has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its 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 require ~~s~~ us to report to you if, in our opinion:

• adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; 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’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 20, the trustees (who are also 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.

Auditor’s 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.

22 Doc ID: 1a71cce7dad34338e77e45454eaa4675dce633db

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud

Based on our understanding of the charity and the environment in which it operates, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to pension legislation, tax legislation, employment legislation, health and safety legislation, food hygiene and safety, and other legislation specific to the sector in which the charity operates, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, the reporting requirements under the Charities SORP and FRS102, and the Charities Act 2011.

We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls). Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included:

• Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance;

• Evaluating management’s controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities;

• Reviewing certificates of compliance and insurance documents

• Reviewing policy and procedure documents

• Reviewing training records

• Identifying and testing journal entries; and

• Challenging assumptions and judgments made by management.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

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.

Use of the audit 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.

Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022

1 Accounting policies

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

a 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 (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

Trafford Domestic Abuse Services 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 in the relevant accounting policy note.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £ sterling.

b Judgments and estimates

The trustees have made no key judgments which have a significant effect on the accounts. The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period.

c Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern.

d Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.

Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.

Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

e Donated services and facilities

Donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised; refer to the trustees’ annual report for more information about their contribution.

f Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.

g Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.

Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the charity.

h Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:

• Expenditure on charitable activities includes the costs undertaken to further the purposes of the charity and their associated support costs.

• Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.

i Allocation of support costs

Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which support the charity's programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set out in note 8.

j Operating leases

Operating leases are leases in which the title to the assets, and the risks and rewards of ownership, remain with the lessor. Rental charges are charged on a straight line basis over the term of the lease.

Trafford Domestic Abuse Services

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (continued)

k Tangible fixed assets

Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:

Security and equipment 4 years Computers 3 years

l 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.

m 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

n 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 amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

o 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.

p Pensions

Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution auto-enrolment scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 10. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end. The costs of the defined contribution scheme are included within support and governance costs and allocated to the funds of the charity using the methodology set out in note 8.

2 Legal status of the charity

The charity is a company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The registered office address is disclosed on page 1.
