Broxtowe Women’s Project (BWP) provides a wide range of support and interventions around domestic abuse and has worked in the Broxtowe area of Nottinghamshire for 23 years. We provide support, advice and advocacy to women and children affected by domestic abuse and empower them to live free from abuse. We are driven by a passion to prevent, reduce and end domestic abuse and work with partners, the community and use social media to raise awareness and educate the public on the tactics of perpetrators.

“What you sent was so good, it really hit home. It made me think about emotionally burdening my boys and I realise that I do at times. It’s really made me think about how I can parent them better and where I’m going wrong. I reflect and realising that I can do things differently to avoid an escalation of the problems.
“I’ve had support from other agencies before and it’s honestly not helped as much as you have. I really have been blown away by how responsive you’ve been to my needs, always there when I’ve needed to talk, I can’t thank you enough.”

A short history
BWP was set up in January 2001 and was developed from Broxtowe Women’s Issues Network (all gender local group) that identified a lack of services for women affected by domestic abuse in the Borough of Broxtowe. BWP was created to provide a service that could meet local need, and developed a collaborative connection and relationship with the community that is deeply embedded in our ethos and approach. Initially we provided outreach support to women (providing advice, guidance and signposting to other local agencies), now we provide services to children too. In addition to counselling and longerterm support we provide wellbeing programmes for women and family wellbeing events across the Borough, as well as our own domestic abuse awareness programmes, called The Survivors Programme and Post-Separation Abuse programme. We have significantly increased our prevention and early intervention work through our local events, social media campaigns and channels, and plan to further expand this work to reach more people.
Mission, Vision and Values
Our Mission
To raise awareness and increase understanding of Domestic Abuse, to challenge it in all its forms, and reduce stigma for those who experience and disclose it.
We aim to fulfil that mission in Broxtowe and Nottinghamshire, and to increase our footprint geographically and virtually, so as to reach, wherever possible, those areas that most need our help and support, throughout the UK and beyond.
To be a beacon of best practice and to show by example, through collaboration across all sectors and through community development at all levels, just what can be achieved.
Our Vision
Is of an equitable world where domestic abuse is eradicated and women and children live free from abuse and control and that change is seen at all levels including societal, institutional, legal and cultural.
Our Values
Empowering Transformative Persistent Respectful Compassionate Collaborative Hopeful Honest Authentic Determined

Trustee Annual Report 2023/24
Introduction:
On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I’m delighted to share the annual report for BWP, which highlights our achievements, challenges, and progress made in the past year, ending on 30 June 2024. We are immensely grateful for the support and dedication of our staff, Trustees, volunteers, funders, donors, and partners in our mission to combat domestic abuse, and to support and empower survivors at all stages of their healing journey.
We moved our year end to 30 June primarily for administrative reasons, therefore this report covers 15 months.
Overview of Activities:
BWP has continued to be actively involved in a wide range of initiatives aimed at raising awareness about domestic abuse and providing our specialist holistic wraparound support services to survivors. Here are some of our key activities:
Support Services:
We continued to provide and further develop our support services empowering survivors of domestic abuse through our outreach, wellbeing, training and counselling services. Our team of highly experienced domestic abuse specialists, and dedicated volunteers worked tirelessly to offer an extensive range of emotional and practical support and guidance. We are proud to have reached a significantly increased number of survivors, supporting 445 women directly, up from 348 women in the 2022-2023 period, showing a regular capacity increase of 28% year on year. We are proud to have provided families with over 500 parcels containing food, wellbeing items and other essentials during this time.
We work on a person/child and family centred model. Our outreach and support teams have vast experience and a positive track record in supporting and empowering recovery and transformation for women and their children.
In September 2023, as part of that continuing ambition, we created out next three-year business and development plan. Subject to funding, BWP aspires to augment our core provision using hybrid and online services, especially for young people and for remote access for women. We are proud of our training capacity, and the ability and expertise that we have which helps corporate and other community organisations to be more aware of domestic abuse and its impact, as well as to support their action planning and

implementation. In addition, we aim to open retail premises in late 2024., which will be largely managed by volunteers. This will give us a safe presence in the community and a point of interface that will work in a number of for both services and fundraising, including trading income.
This year we provided support directly to 110 children, 23 of whom had intensive 1-2-1 support (a substantial increase on the year before). This is an area we will also prioritise for development and capacity building over the next 3 years with a target of 400 children and young people supported by 2027. We are committed to increasing the work we do with teenagers impacted by domestic abuse and work to reduce the prevalence of abuse in their intimate relationships, as well as crime prevention and supporting mental health.
We aim to be a catalyst and enabler for change at individual, family, community and business level and a beacon of best practice with our high-quality, holistic, wraparound service, utilising our key strengths and expertise developed over the last 23 years to help meet the increasing need. Our bespoke person-centred trauma informed approaches with individuals and our collaborative, extensive partnership engagement approaches with organisations runs through everything that we do and how we operate.
A further development for us has been working increasingly around Post Separation Abuse (PSA - https://broxtowewomensproject.org.uk/the-post-separation-abuse-programme/), where there is substantial continuing abuse and coercion beyond the separation; this is especially common where there are children, who are almost always weaponised by the perpetrator. We have so far we have delivered specific PSA training to 87 women
“The Post Separation Abuse course is helping me come to terms with all I’ve experienced over two abusive relationships. It is eye opening, life changing and I feel better from it all. I don’t feel I need to do another course after this as I feel so empowered.”
Awareness Campaigns:
Raising awareness about domestic abuse remains a priority for BWP. We conducted numerous awareness campaigns throughout the year via social media, workshops, and community events. By promoting healthy relationships and educating the public about the signs and effects of abuse, we aim to prevent and reduce instances of domestic abuse. Our
38 campaigns reached a wide audience, impacting thousands of individuals. By utilising a translation tool on our website, we are now able to remove the language barrier by offering advice through our blogs and other content to a far wider range of women. This has improved relationships with other partners working in the area.
pie = : We have run several awareness raising and fundraising events including a fundraising walk and our inaugural Gala Dinner, in February 2024, raising over £13,000.
8
Advocacy and Partnerships:
We continue to actively engage with policymakers, local authorities, and other stakeholders to advocate for improved legislation, funding, and support services for survivors of domestic abuse. By collaborating with corporate partners and local organisations, we strengthened our collective efforts and amplified our impact in the community.
BWP continues to work with the Nottinghamshire Football Association further developing a major initiative to raise awareness of domestic abuse and to embed policies and practices throughout grassroots football. We work in partnership with more than 30 organisations across this period. We developed a very special relationship with ESS Compass Group who have fundraised for us and enabled us to host our first Gala Dinner at the local Army Barracks.
We were chosen as the Charity of the Year for a number of small community groups. Payplan remain a valued partners to BWP and providing critical debt advice/services to our women. We worked with legal partners Hopkins Solicitors and began working with Ringrose Solicitors who have also provided specialist legal advice to women in crisis. Other supporting partners include Barefoot Coaching who have supported the team throughout this time, Lear, RDC Aviation, Plastek Group, Canalside Heritage Centre, New Horizons Church, The National Justice Museum and White Ribbon UK and Broxtowe Borough Council and of course our valued funders with whom we work so closely, as well as many others.
We are always so grateful to all of our Trustees, volunteers, staff, supporters, partners and the incredible, brave women that we have the honour of supporting. We move forwards together as a team on a mission to end injustice and to provide the catalyst for personal and collective change.

Patron:
Sam Beckinsale – actress/writer/producer/DA survivor & advocate “Being Patron of BWP is not only an honour but a fundamental part of my own personal drive for change regarding domestic abuse and its impact on us all as a society.
Dr Rick Muir of Police Foundation has stated that if government are to achieve their aims in halving Violence Against Women and Girls in 10 years, it's going to take a social revolution. What Dr Muir and repeated governments haven't yet grasped is that BWP are one of
the leaders of the vanguard of grassroots organisations who have already begun that social revolution. How? By being one of the few that automatically included the child victims of DA, long before law caught up with them, by including the older victims, by supporting victims pre and post separation, again, long before any of this was recognised in law.

Labour have asked businesses to step up to the plate. By investing in BWP, you are not only fulfilling that ask but will be a part of changing our society, for everyone, for the better. Domestic abusers by their nature are anti-social and the cost that perpetrators inflict on every member of our society in England and Wales is estimated at £78 billion per year, rising to £81 billion this year alone. Victims bear the primary fiscal burden, then Government, then businesses. By investing in an organisation like BWP - proper, ring fenced, sustained investment in a proven, specialist high value return organisation, businesses can save in the region of a collective £14 billion per year in lost profit; profit that perpetrators of domestic abuse cost businesses directly every year.
Examples of BWP’s reach through my Patron work includes numerous local, national and international avenues from Employers Initiative on Domestic Abuse Advisory Council alongside the likes of Theresa May, Dame Inga Beale and Jess Phillips to the NHS, local authorities, varied police forces, leading CPS authorities, news broadcasts, House of Lords, Russell Group Universities, financial services such as PayPlan, Canopius, Aviva, Lloyds Banking Group, Google, Amazon, BBC, Hogan Lovells, 3 Pb Barristers, Supreme Court Justices and Presidents of Law Society. Through my engaging in online and via social media platforms, BWP regularly reach millions of both domestic abuse sufferers and change makers via the likes of LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Netmums, Guardians War Cry, podcasts and webinars, globally including the US. BWP also most importantly reach and support the women and children who suffer on a daily basis, saving and rebuilding lives. They may be small in staff numbers, but their reach and impact is monumental - from their direct impact on victims, to educating the community and a range of organisations from UK Plc to Criminal Justice System to educational settings, NHS, social care and more.
I can think of no better legacy or honour, professionally and personally in respect to eradicating our society of Domestic Abuse than by supporting the work BWP do - for myself or for yourselves.
Join us and Viva la revolution.

AmbassAdore Summary
For me, being BWP’s AmbassAdore is a privilege that goes beyond 'doing charity work' - it's personal. As a domestic abuse charity supporting women and children in my local Borough and across Nottinghamshire, where I was born and raised, their work resonates deeply with me. Being an AmbassAdore means championing BWP in everything I do - whether at speaking events, corporate workshops, or online and in person. It’s about leveraging my network to make meaningful connections, introductions, and opportunities that amplify their vital work. It’s important to me that I make the most of the interest that my book has provided, using the media coverage it has generated to promote BWP’s efforts and raise awareness. The incredible work they do is close to my heart, and I’m committed to helping them change the lives of women and children in our community, for the better. Financial Contributions

Training and Education:
In line with our commitment to knowledge-sharing, we provided training sessions and workshops to professionals, community groups, volunteers and survivors. These programmes aimed to enhance understanding, develop skills, and equip individuals with the tools needed to address domestic abuse effectively. This ranged from helping businesses understand what domestic abuse is and how to better support their staff, to working with local schools where one of our male White Ribbon Ambassadors, our Partnership Manager and/or Children’s Outreach Worker delivered awareness raising sessions with every year group and some targeted engagement. We have collaborated extensively with community partners as part of our efforts to cascade DA awareness, and have been delighted to work with existing and new partners, training their staff and raising awareness. We know that our input and messages can flow out into the community and change the way people view domestic abuse and critically understand and recognise how perpetrators operate.
| Case Study NA was in a seriously controlling and abusive relationship with her perpetrator. There was a high-level of financial abuse too. NA did not live with her perpetrator but what complicated matters was that NA was very strongly trauma bonded to her perpetrator. Despite understanding how controlling and abusive her perpetrator was, she felt unable to leave, despite suffering quite serious abuse. NA engaged well with outreach support and over a period of 4 months she developed the strength to finally end the relationship. Since then, she was supported to report coercive control to the police and this matter is currently being investigated. NA has attended The Survivors Programme that has helped with her recovery. She will be provided with longer term support while the police investigation is on-going. |
Partner comments “I wanted to say on behalf of myself and Anthea, that we hope you have a great 16 days of activism ahead of you! We’re loving seeing all the photos and videos Broxtowe Women’s Project are sharing and are being tagged in on social media.” Leyla Buran -White Ribbon UK “Thank you for including us in it and being such a great advocate for what we are doing here! It was definitely an impactful event, and I was really pleased to see the connections everyone was making, particularly the family in this early stage to their charity foundation and work. As Gill has said we would love to continue working with you, there are links with the project we are doing with the family for sure. |
|---|---|
Increased profile and recognition of BWP in the community: We continue to engage with a wider audience via our media/social media reach: June 2020 – March 2024: X (Twitter) – 1531 followers - now 2133 followers - 39% increase Facebook – 207 followers - now 1100 followers - 431% increase Instagram – 170 followers - now 1064 followers - 525% increase LinkedIn – 51 followers - now 607 followers - 1090% increase The figures show that BWP has worked hard over the last 4 years to consistently increase the numbers, but we are also aware that followers alone do not give an accurate picture of the impact that social media is having. We hope that we have demonstrated some of the successes from the year, but from the challenges shown below BWP are mindful of further growth within this area that is required.

Fundraising and Income Generation – a three-year plan
We remain very aware of several imperatives. One of course is simply to grow our income and whilst we want to do that we also want to be realistic.
⮚ Diversify
We are fortunate to have many friends and have an excellent delivery reputation and relationship within our local communities. However, we have not yet leveraged that in terms of finance and funding as much as we need to – and we have an undue reliance on grant funding. It was well over 80% of our income over the last two years and that has been the picture for some time.
⮚ Increase corporate and community income
This will increase revenue and address resilience and sustainability – as well as bringing in unrestricted funding to increase reserves and pump prime new initiatives.
15
It will have the added advantage of raising our profile and raising awareness of the cause too. We began the process of increasing community and corporate fundraising and recruited to that role. Unfortunately, that didn’t work out as we had hoped, therefore we will need to review again and recruit.
⮚ Increase Traded Income
We worked hard across the year to expand this by setting up a local retail and training outlet to again raise both funds and awareness – and provide a training venue for small groups and for our own volunteers and beneficiaries, where it’s safe to do so. We plan to open our first shop in December 2024.
Charity Structure, Governance and Management
Trustees are approached personally or advertised for. We have a clear process for recruitment, application, approval or rejection, induction/onboarding and development and training. A duly completed application form is required including references and a role and person specification is clearly outlined. All Trustees are DBS checked (as are staff and volunteers) and fully referenced, in line with our safeguarding and equal opportunities policies. Trustees are supplied with appropriate information ahead of their considered application and are appointed or otherwise in line with the charity’s constitution, the good trustee guide and other legislative guidance and receive an induction and ongoing access to good practice resources and online training opportunities.
The Board of Trustees meets every two months to fulfil their role in overseeing and directing the affairs of the charity, ensuring that it is well run and delivers the charitable outcomes for which it is established. One of those meetings is an annual strategy/development day, when the Trustees review the overall strategy for the charity, including the budget and any financial implications. Trustees are committed to the Nolan principles of selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, honesty and leadership.
The Trustees delegate day to day running of the charity to the CEO, Colette Byrne. The Senior Management Team consists of the CEO, our Partnerships Manager and Outreach Manager.
Staffing and volunteers
We currently have a staff team of 10 salaried and four outsource workers with an FTE of 8.3 and over 21 amazing volunteers. We place a heavy premium on lived experience and many of our Trustees, staff and volunteers have personal lived experience of abuse.
The staff team meet regularly to ensure we are aligned and focused on the priorities received from the Board and that we all understand our part in delivering the mission of the charity and how important it is that we work well together, which we do! We also ensure the engagement and involvement of our amazing volunteer team, who are an invaluable addition to the resources and capacity of the charity.

Infrastructure and Systems
As a growing organisation we are concerned to ensure that we can monitor and evaluate our services effectively and to guarantee internal as well as external communications are optimised. In 2022, we made the decision to install the Oasis CRM system and are working through a programme to further adapt and develop its reporting to maintain the capturing, recording and reporting of the information that we need. The data, along with consultation with our service users, will help us to better shape future delivery as well as deliver current services. We have added a fundraising CRM to help us expand and develop our community and corporate fundraising and to support our wider community marketing and PR. We keep the two systems separate for reasons of confidentiality and safeguarding.
We made the decision in this year to move from QuickBooks to Xero for our financial records and reporting, including the facility to integrate with our bank for reconciliation and other automations. That supported this year’s reporting.
Internally we have SMT and staff meetings monthly in addition to team meetings in areas of work - and we work closely together to identify strengths, areas for improvement and explore all opportunities to better support the women and children and families that we are working with, and achieving the wider mission of the charity. Communication is vital with the community but also essential within the team.
Forward Plans and Development
The charity aims to balance ambition and realism, and to expand what we do now, and develop it into new areas as well as expanding existing provision in the face of escalating need, partly caused by Covid fallout and by the economic and energy crisis. As we stated last year, it is the familiar tension between rising need and diminishing resources. The charity remains concerned to diversify income streams and to address the profile of income.
Subject to funding, BWP aspires, in the next few years, to augment our core provision using hybrid and online services, especially for young people and for remote access for women. We are proud of our training capacity, and the ability and expertise that we have to help corporate and other community organisations to be more aware of domestic abuse and its impact. This work supports with their action planning and implementation. In 2024-25 we will launch a ‘Reach and Rise’ Training Programme to develop and widen provision via an expanded Train the Trainer approach alongside a virtual training initiative.
Last year we reduced our initial ambitions to ensure sustainability and some of the above developments have taken longer to achieve than we wanted but still represent our continued ambition to prevent, reduce and support and empower those impacted by domestic abuse, and to do so innovatively and responsively to developing need.
The revised budget above shows that this has been reduced to around 22% pro rata income growth in 2024-5 (given the previous 15 months 2023-24) and further reduced to just under 8% in Year 2. Those figures broadly translate into growth projections in service provision during the same period, with some adjustment for cost increase and salaries. However, our
18
aspiration and ambition is to do better than that if we can and increase provision in the face of escalating and unmet need for our services and the critical preventative and early intervention work required for meaningful change.
~~hee~~ Financial Review: We would like to express our gratitude to our generous funders and sponsors whose contributions have enabled us to continue our vital work. Here is a brief summary of our financial position:
Total income received: £362,918 Total expenditure: £355,859 – a small operating surplus of £7,079.
Total Grants and donations received: £317,508.
Reserves at year end: £126,601 (this includes the designated close down fund).
Major sources were:
-
National Lottery: £142,084
-
● Broxtowe Borough Council: £23,315 ● Lloyds bank Foundation £26,500 ● Postcode Lottery £25,000 ● Nottingham PCC £21,320 ● The Jones 1986 CT £10,000 ● 29[th] May 1961 CT £5,000
Reserve funds policy is three- six months running costs. A minimum of three months’ worth of reserves are held to ensure that core activity could continue for this period to develop and implement fundraising activities. The strategic plan 2024 -27 includes growing this to the six -month upper end of the policy.
Looking ahead, we are committed to expanding our reach, enhancing our services, and increasing our awareness raising and advocating for a society free from domestic abuse. We will continue to collaborate with partner organisations, explore innovative solutions, and adapt to emerging needs to provide the best support possible.
~~ae~~ Conclusion
In conclusion, the past 15 months has been a challenging and incredibly exciting time of opportunities for new collaborations, partnership and to continue to expand the vital work we do. We extend our sincere appreciation to our dedicated staff, volunteers, Patron, AmbassAdore, supporters, and beneficiaries for their unwavering commitment to our vision and work. Together, we have made a tangible difference in the lives of survivors, empowering them to break free from the cycle of abuse and begin to rebuild their lives. We look forward to another year of making a positive impact through partnership working and collaboration.

Broxtowe Women's Project Limited
Trustees' Report
Statement of Responsibilities
The trustees (who are also the directors of Broxtowe Women's Project Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they 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 its 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 apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 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 charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can 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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member and Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
I have no other 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2024
1 Accounting policies
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
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.
Basis of preparation
Broxtowe Women's Project Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of one year from the date of approval of the financial statements.
Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement
Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.
Income and endowments
Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Donations and legacies
Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period.

Broxtowe Women's Project Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 April 2023 to 30 June 2024
Grants receivable
Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released.
Deferred income
Deferred income represents amounts received for future periods and is released to incoming resources in the period for which, it has been received. Such income is only deferred when:
-
The donor specifies that the grant or donation must only be used in future accounting periods; or
-
The donor has imposed conditions which must be met before the charity has unconditional entitlement.
Expenditure
All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.
Charitable activities
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income.
Taxation
The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.
Tangible fixed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows:

Depreciation method and rate
33.3% straight line
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Trade creditors
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Fund structure
Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees' discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Restricted income funds are those grants for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
Pensions and other post retirement obligations
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity. Pension costs charges in the Statement of Financial Activities represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year.
