Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report.

## **Objectives and Activities**
In 2020/21 we have been reminded of how women are particularly affected by the unequal legal, social and cultural environment in which they live, work and grow. The Covid-19 pandemic saw women isolated with their abusive partners, unable to seek help or flee the abuse when restrictions were at their most severe. In a survey conducted by Women’s Aid Federation of England, 78% of respondents said they could not leave because of the pandemic with 32% saying friends and family were unable to help because of restrictions. Children, too, suffered more with 53% of respondents stating their children witnessed more abuse towards them and 37% that their abuser had shown an increase in abusive behaviour directed towards their children.
We had to respond quickly to this situation to guarantee safety for our clients and reconfirmed our mission to promote the benefit of women suffering or at risk of domestic abuse. Our staff and volunteers worked tirelessly to support both outreach clients and those in our safe accommodation and we are thankful to them for their commitment.
The Pankhurst Trust Strategic Plan 2019-24 makes clear our vision of a society where every woman has a right to be safe and to be heard and is able to take action to drive the change she wants to see. It reiterates our commitment to working to achieve this in a way that is consistent with our values. The Pankhurst Trust Business Plan 2019-24 describes how the two strands of our charity –the Pankhurst Centre and Manchester Women’s Aid domestic abuse services – intend to organise and prioritise in pursuance of our charitable objects, which are:
- 1) To promote the equality of women and
- 2) To promote the benefit of women suffering, or at risk of suffering, domestic abuse and their dependants with the objects of:
- a. Relieving need, hardship and distress among such beneficiaries
- b. Promoting the mental and physical health of such beneficiaries
- c. Advancing the education of such beneficiaries and
- d. Advancing the education of the general public in relation to issues of women’s equality and domestic abuse
- 3) To secure for the public benefit the preservation, restoration, improvement, enhancement and maintenance of 60-62 Nelson Street, Manchester as a building of historic and architectural interest, which building shall house a heritage and educational centre for visitors regarding the suffrage movement, women’s equality and domestic abuse together with a drop-in centre for women, space for conferences, classes and social events
Of course, the pandemic forced us to take a step back and rethink our priorities. We were disappointed to temporarily close the doors of the Pankhurst Centre during this time but took the opportunity to start improvements to the fabric of the building and complete the design of a new exhibition to be installed during 2021. We have spent £31k so far on this work and we look forward to welcoming visitors back as soon as it is safe to do so.
During the year we operated from ten sites dispersed across Manchester, an increase of 2 on 2019-20. These provide a wide variety of services, some of which are integrated and others, such as communal

refuge and some groupwork and play services, which remain separate and specific to meet the needs of women and children. We were fortunate to receive a number of short-term crisis funds to support existing, and develop new, domestic abuse services including:
- Ministry of Justice and CAF Bank Resilience Fund together gave us £138,434 to support our referral line and enable us to employ additional staff to support high risk clients
- National Lottery Community Fund gave a grant of £56,550 to enable us to move our groupwork online for the first time and provide tablets and wifi to clients experiencing digital poverty
- We Love Mcr gave £15,800 to provide removal costs, white goods and furnishings to enable clients to move-on from refuge into their own tenancies and, in turn, making space in refuge for more families in crisis
- Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government provided £99,000 to expand our families service and set up additional safe accommodation properties, enhancing our refuge provision
- Leathersellers and the Oglesby Trust supported our children’s service with £42,000 to provide safe playspaces and resources for children isolated from school, friends and family
In addition, whilst the Pankhurst Centre was closed, short-term crisis funds of £28,800 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £21,171 from Manchester City Council enabled us to maintain the building and prepare for re-opening.
Of course, we must also acknowledge those individuals and organisations that donated goods which go direct to our service users and make a huge difference to them at a difficult time. We were overwhelmed at the generosity shown and are delighted to acknowledge the following:
- Individuals cash donations of £79,127
- Individuals donated vouchers for clothes and toys totalling £1,050
- MCC food provision who provided Easter eggs valued at £550
- Kids Out provided shopping vouchers valued at £600
- Gunnercooke Foundation provided items totalling £500 from our wish list
- NHS donated various furniture and furnishing items estimated at £7,500 for women moving out of refuge and into their own homes
- NHS donated £3,644 worth of headphones or our newly formed online groupwork
- Manchester Soroptimists made donations of vouchers and children’s toys valued at £380
- Manchester Street Angels put together a shoebox of goods for every adult and child in refuge valued at a total of £600
- Ultimate Products and Online Home Shop donated homeware starter packs and household goods including bedding and clothing estimated at a total of £12,166 for women moving out of refuge into their own home
- University of Salford donated period packs estimated at £500

We are indebted to the many volunteers, including Sheikh Nazim Helping Hands and Queen Bee Coaching, for their help.
The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning how our activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set. The trustees recognise that good governance in charities is fundamental to their success and aspire to the highest standards laid out in the Charity Governance Code to enable and support the charity’s compliance with the law and relevant regulations and promote a culture where everything works towards fulfilling the charity’s vision.
They are informed in this task by robust performance management and monitoring systems that capture the outcomes - and outputs - of our work, and by comprehensive consultation processes that

incorporate service user, staff, volunteer and stakeholder experience of services gathered through a variety of formal and informal processes.
We are affiliated to the Women’s Aid Federation of England (WAFE) and are proud to have once again achieved national quality marks for our domestic abuse services from: The Women’s Aid National Quality Accreditation Mark and SafeLives Leading Light Accreditation. We are members of the Association of Independent Museums and Hidden8 Small Museums Network.
## **Beneficiaries of our Services**
Our vision is of a society where every woman has a right to be safe and to be heard, and is able to take action to drive the change she wants to see. We aim to empower our beneficiaries to make a real, improved difference to their lives and to all of our communities. We do this by making sure the experiences and needs of the individuals and groups that use our services are central to all we do and are underpinned by our core values, developed through consultation with clients, volunteers, staff and management. We can therefore rightly claim to be:
**Courageous** by challenging inequality, stepping forward and making change
**Affirming** by supporting and inspiring, paying attention to discover what matters
**Generous** by sharing our skills, creating energetic positive links, and thriving together
**Rooted** by being secure in our communities, participating and nurturing a sense of belonging
Never have we demonstrated our values more than during a pandemic that threw so many challenges at us. Our careful governance and prudent management of funds in previous years gave us a firm foundation to be able to react quickly to the sudden restrictions and isolation suffered by our service users and to the challenges that our staff were faced with of working from home. Alongside this, we received incredible support from our commissioners, including Manchester City Council and Central Manchester Clinical Commissioning Group, to adapt and flex our services enabling us to meet the unprecedented need.
Our incredible staff team were also supported during this time by a generous and committed team of volunteers and suppliers who were able to provide removal vans, transport huge numbers of beds, white goods, furnishings and personal effects, deliver food parcels, fit curtain rails and hang curtains, be a phone buddy, provide digital help and generally ensure that families were well looked after.

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
## Trustee’s Annual Report
## for the year ended 31 March 2021
_We provided active volunteer opportunities for an average of 30+ domestic abuse volunteers including delivery of household essentials and phone support_
_We providing placements for 3 social work students_
_We provided 8 business students with a real life consultancy project to enhance their studies_
_We brought £916,881 of non-MCC and non-MHCC money into the city_
_We continued to develop our volunteers and staff by promoting 3 volunteers into paid employment and 6 existing staff into higher paid roles_
In 2020-21, of the 1,574 unique domestic abuse survivors we directly supported:
- 12% were over 50, 35% from non-white ethnic groups. 36% of all clients were in work, 7% were seeking work and 7% were long-term sick or disabled.
- 17% of all clients disclosed a disability, including physical, learning, hearing, visual or mental health. 4% disclosed multiple disabilities and 30% disclosed a mental health vulnerability, 7% of all clients disclosed a physical health vulnerability and 4% stated that they had drug and /or alcohol support needs. 10% declared more than one vulnerability
- 38% had no recourse to public funds and 3% had no income at all when first entering our service
Our museum, based in 62 Nelson Street Manchester, is the former home of Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters who fought for votes for women, launched the suffragette movement and set out to change the course of history. The museum was a victim of the pandemic and was forced to close throughout 2020-21. However, a brand new exhibition was designed and will be installed in the first weeks of 2021-22 then we will fight on to bring the real life story of suffrage back to prominence, even a global pandemic can only stop us for a few months!
## **Achievements and performance**
In our report for the year ended 31[st] March 2019 we reported our intention to publish a 5-year Strategic Plan, supported by a robust Business Plan, designed to strengthen and extend our services. This strategy identified 4 core aims and 12 objectives for delivery.
We were able to change the way in which gender inequality and violence against women and girls, is regarded, understood, and interpreted by strengthening our heritage and domestic abuse prevention work through achievement of our **Prevent Objectives:**
- To share the story of number 62 Nelson Street , and ensure it survives for generations to come
- To build corporate and donor relationships to increase unrestricted funds to support growth
- To develop new collaborations to improve services for children vulnerable to abuse or vulnerable to abusive behaviours
We were sad to temporarily close the Pankhurst Centre but took this time to improve and update the museum experience, develop an offering for schools and make aesthetic improvements to the building itself.
Our services for Children and Young People have undergone great change. Our playworkers were temporarily furloughed as social distancing in our refuges made group play impossible but they have now been trained in therapeutic interventions and support our new Therapeutic Intervention Workers to deliver meaningful, child-centred, accredited groupwork and 1:1 support to children across all our services.

## Trustee’s Annual Report
## for the year ended 31 March 2021
We were able to accelerate our journey to expand the reach and impact of our holistic, whole family, strengths-based domestic abuse model through the achievement of our **Provide Objectives:** .
- To explore collaborations that will improve our response to violence against women and girls on all family members, including an understanding of perpetrator behaviour in our work
- To work consistently to increase our income to continue our community based, expand our lifesaving accommodation based services and ensure the continuation of the heritage museum
- To embed new management approaches for survivors with additional need to become better able to have an impact in unfamiliar places
In April 2020 we began to deliver our core domestic abuse services for refuge and community outreach under new contracts which we named Emerge (refuge) and Connect (outreach). These contracts extend our previous services by offering a programme of whole-family support including groupwork for perpetrators, an improved therapeutic offer for children, and introducing new dispersed properties to extend access to refuge beyond our current single sex offer. We used the opportunity to review our approach and introduce new roles to support our work, for example a Children and Families Worker and a Complex Needs Worker and new partnerships to enhance our offer, for example we undertook training from the Proud Trust and worked more closely with Wai Yin Society. Despite the pandemic, we delivered on all commitments where possible and look forward to continuing to deliver safe, inclusive services post-Covid.
We were able to move closer to our ambition to build strong and enduring partnerships to deliver high quality services through the achievement of our **Partner Objectives:**
- To seek new collaborations to improve access to safe, secure and affordable homes for women and their families impacted by violence against women and girls (VAWG)
- To strengthen existing and develop new networks that will enable survivors and their families to live well and be active partners in their health and well-being
- To evidence the social and community value of our work, in particular in our priority areas
We formed new partnerships including with One Manchester who have provided us with additional dispersed properties from which to run the Emerge service. We have committed Reserves spending to research long-term solutions including the development of housing provision and will seek investment through new collaborations with experts in the housing sector.
The value of our work has never been more evident with services reaching beyond our core offer of safe accommodation and outreach. Our BeActive Manchester service provides physical and wellbeing activity to clients and, despite lockdowns and social restrictions, continued to deliver to families in need. An online challenge sheet developed by this project has been used by GM Moving. Our volunteer led Queen Bee Coaching service provides a high quality coaching opportunity delivered free by experienced coaches to diverse emerging female leaders faced with social and economic inequalities
We are investing in the power and potential of our heritage seekers, clients, staff and volunteers to achieve change through the achievement of our **Prosper Objectives:**
- To embed a distributed leadership approach to service provision to increase the capacity of our staff, volunteers and clients to innovate and drive change
- To refresh and embed our core values into everyday practice to ensure all have a positive, personal experience that leaves them feeling valued, informed and empowered
- To develop innovative employment, skills and training initiatives to increase safe referral to specialist support and financial independence
Three staff members undertook the Common Purpose Leadership Scheme and will use their learning to develop new services and enhance existing ones through 2021-22 and beyond.

## Trustee’s Annual Report
## for the year ended 31 March 2021
Our volunteering programme, whilst reduced during the Covid-19 outbreak, continued to support many areas of the business throughout 2020-21 including coaching, delivery of food and essentials, providing phone support. These volunteers are, and will continue to be, key to our success as they work alongside our staff to deliver added value to our services.
## **Financial review**
The trustees of the charity decided to roll over the 2019-20 budget into 2020-21 as it was clear that the planned activity would be subject to great uncertainty. However, the pandemic caused a large number of crisis grants to be made available and so organisational reserves were not required to fund the emergency activity. Regular financial reviews took place throughout the year to ensure no negative impact and the result is that most existing projects delivered a balanced budget and the crisis grants were fully utilised. A surplus of £132,535 will be designated to continue the expansion in 2021-22.
We are constantly aware of the funding risks that all our services are exposed to and are investing in our fundraising and volunteering functions in order to maintain existing services and grow new ones. It is expected that the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 will release monies and provide opportunities that would otherwise not have been there but the impact on longer term funding following the extensive number of crisis grants released is yet to be seen. Our BeActive Manchester project is at immediate risk as the Sport England funding comes to an end in October 2021; our Playfund (children) project remains uncertain as funding has been reduced year-on-year; and our Sahara project, funded by the National Lottery Community fund, comes to an end in May 2022. In 2020, we succeeded in securing 3 years funding for our IRIS GP project and 5 years funding for our refuge and outreach projects commissioned by Manchester City Council.
Our cultural offer remains without dedicated external funding and during 2021-21 was reliant on the Government’s Job Retention Scheme and crisis grants to save the Pankhurst Centre. We are hopeful that, with the lifting of restrictions and opening of the new exhibition, our heritage activity will attract visitors once again and create fundraising opportunities.
## Reserves policy
The charity intends to maintain a “free” reserve in unrestricted funds to:
- Meet the cost of service development
- Protect its investment in premises, equipment and staff
- Meet any possible redundancy costs
In addition, reserves will be held to continue to offer a basic service in line with its charitable objects for a period of between 3 and 6 months.
The Board of Trustees set the reserves level on an annual basis and changes to this are informed by performance, risk and opportunity management systems taking into account service development, secured funding and other factors affecting operational costs. If reserves fall below the agreed level the Trustees will consider ways in which unrestricted funds can be raised to bring the reserve in line with the amounts set out in this policy.
The level of Reserves at 31[st] March 2021 is £1,239,304 (2019: £1,106,769). This includes the Pankhurst Centre lease of £280,231 (2020:£283,440), restricted reserves of £267,719 (2020: £114,562) and funds of £163,528 designated by the trustees in furtherance of its charitable objects.

These designations to include:
- Capacity building staffing costs £38,528
- ● Improvements to play areas £25,000 ● Relocation costs £50,000 ● Set up of dispersed properties £40,000 ● Capital works at the Pankhurst Centre £10,000
This leaves a free reserve of £527,826 which equates to c.4.5 months of operating cost.
## **Plans for the future**
Our plans must take account of the continued impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Throughout 2020-21 and up to and including the date of this report, we have and continue to face a global pandemic, providing a challenge that is unprecedented in recent times. Some of our staff were put on furlough leave and others were working from home most of the time, if not all. Emerge continued to deliver essential onsite services with telephone support being provided where appropriate but all outreach services were delivered remotely. The significant change in the way we worked in 2020-21 will impact on future delivery and we will look at ways in which we can bring learning from the past year to inform this, e.g.
- we know that the lockdown situation and subsequent social restrictions have impacted heavily on the mental health of our staff and clients so we will consider this as we move into the next phase of Living With Covid
- we also know that less travel and more online meetings is better both for our planet and time management and we will take this into account when setting up meetings
- we know that delivering groupwork online enabled more people to participate and we will seek to continue this alongside our more traditional face-to-face sessions, better meeting the needs of the individual
The Domestic Abuse Bill received Royal Assent on 29[th] April 2021 and the impact of this on our services is likely to be significant. Measures in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 include:
- extending the controlling or coercive behaviour offence to cover post-separation abuse
- explicitly recognise children as victims if they see, hear or experience the effects of abuse
- establish in law the office of Domestic Abuse Commissioner and set out the Commissioner’s functions and powers
- placing a duty on local authorities in England to provide support to victims of domestic abuse and their children in refuges and other safe accommodation
- provide that all eligible homeless victims of domestic abuse automatically have ‘priority need’ for homelessness assistance
- place the guidance supporting the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme (“Clare’s law”) on a statutory footing
We look forward to playing a prominent role in shaping additional services for Manchester and delivering support that is safe, confidential and effective.
We remain ambitious as we enter Year 3 of our 5-year strategic plan and we have every right to do so. Our strong financial position and reputation as a safe provider will ensure we continue to deliver in all planned areas:

## **How we will do it**
Our plans rely on reliable existing partnerships, new collaborations and strong financial control.

Our volunteer Board of Trustees will provide oversight and assurance of all that we do through:
- Quarterly meetings of Board of Trustees, strategic planning and training sessions
- Board committees, which include Board and independent members with specific expertise

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 trustees’ 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 trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the trustees’ annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. 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.

## The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
## Independent Auditor’s Report
## for the year ended 31 March 2021
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 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 (incorporating the directors’ report) for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- 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 our 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 trustees’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate 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’ Annual 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 16, the trustees (who are also the 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.

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
## Independent Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 31 March 2021
## **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.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
- enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims.
- enquiry of the charity's staff, management and those charged with governance to identify any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations.
- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
- reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
- auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/Our-Work/Audit/Audit-and-assurance/Standards-and-guidance/Standards-andguidance-for-auditors/Auditors-responsibilities-for-audit/Description-of-auditors-responsibilities-foraudit.aspx. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

## **Use of our 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.

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
## Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021
## **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), second edition - 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 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid) 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.
## **b 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.
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.
21
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **c 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.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either: the charity is aware that probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the executor(s) to the charity that a distribution will be made, or when a distribution is received from the estate. Receipt of a legacy, in whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be measured reliably and the charity has been notified of the executor’s intention to make a distribution. Where legacies have been notified to the charity, or the charity is aware of the granting of probate, and the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is a treated as a contingent asset and disclosed if material.
Income received in advance of a provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
## **d 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.
On receipt, donated professional services and donated facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
## **e 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.
22
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **f 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.
## **g 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:
- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs of heritage goods sold at the Pankhurst Centre.
- 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.
## **h 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.
## **i 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.
## **j 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:
|Leasehold building|Straight line over the period of the lease|
|---|---|
|Fixtures and fittings|12.5%|
|office equipment|25%|
|Play equipment|25%|
23
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **k Current asset investments**
Current asset investments include cash investments with a notice period of greater than one week and deposit accounts intended to be held for the longer term.
## **l Stock**
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. In general, cost is determined on a first in, first out basis. Net realisable value is the price at which stocks can be sold in the normal course of business after allowing for the costs of realisation. Provision is made where necessary for obsolete, slow moving, and defective stocks. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.
## **m 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.
## **n 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.
## **o 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.
24
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women's Aid)
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 (continued)
## **p Pensions**
Employees of the charity are entitled to join a defined contribution ‘money purchase’ scheme. The charity’s contribution is restricted to the contributions disclosed in note 11. There were no outstanding contributions at the year end.
## **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.
