The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2022
The trustees present their report and the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022. Included within the trustees’ report is the directors’ report as required by company law. Reference and administrative information set out on page 1 forms part of this report. The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: SORP applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102.
Objectives and activities
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.
The trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives that have been set.
Our Memorandum and Articles of Association define our charitable objects as:
-
To promote the equality of women.
-
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.
-
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.
We have been delighted during this year to move forward with our equalities ambition. We were, alongside GM4Women 2028, successful in our joint bid to facilitate the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Women and Girls Equality Panel in July 2021; working with partners from across England, Scotland and Northern Ireland we secured funding from the Department of Digital, Culture, Music and Sport to run the Labyrinth Project that is contributing to system change for women by building capacity and forging stronger networks for support and shared learning locally and nationally; and we partnered with RECLAIM to secure Comic Relief funding for the Full Time Fierce project that supports young working-class girls and women to change the country today and lead it tomorrow. With a combined income of £99,000 this year, these projects will deliver on our Business Plan objectives of strengthening and expanding our networks.
We were equally delighted to re-open the doors of the Pankhurst Museum and Centre and welcome back visitors to the improved exhibition that was installed during the Covid-19 pandemic closure. Thanks to our generous donors and funders including AIM Biffa History Makers, Manchester City

Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2022
Council, John Thaw Foundation, Cloudwater Brewery, Alix Partners, Hatch, NEU Manchester, Hazel Reeves, Mottram St Andrew WI, Joanie Clothing, RSA Insurance and Poynton Local History Society, income was up from £59,346 in 2020-21 to £152,990, exhibition costs of £65,526 aside this enabled us to allocate £87,464 to ensuring the Centre was adequately staffed with both paid and voluntary teams and that both internal and external areas were fit for purpose. We are happy to report that visitor numbers are gradually returning to pre pandemic levels.
Our domestic abuse services saw a significant increase in funding and delivery as the Domestic Abuse Act came into force and New Burdens funding was allocated to deliver the statutory obligation to provide safe accommodation. This enabled us to increase the staffing across our existing communal and dispersed refuge provision. It also meant that we were able to renew our focus, with the continued and valued support of Manchester City Council, on moving survivors and their families onto independence as quickly as possible. Income from accommodation rose by 16% in the year and expenditure rose by 18% though this was, in the main, due to increased levels of move on and set up costs for the dispersed properties brought on-line to keep survivors safe from harm. New Burdens funding also enabled us to extend our life saving services to domestic abuse survivors in Manchester City Council Safe Accommodation provision for homeless families and singles.
Outreach services saw a fall in income of 8% as many of the Covid-related grants that we received in 2020-21 were not available in 2021-22 but activity stepped up as restrictions were lifted and other funding streams came online. We were able to build on the success of the IRIS project – our GP training and referral service - by delivering a similar model in sexual health clinics. Funding from the Ministry of Justice administered through Greater Manchester Combined Authority allowed us to employ an Independent Sexual Violence Advocate, (ISVA) to work with victims of sexual violence and we also expanded our partnership working by securing funding for an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate, (IDVA), to work on the Drive project. This Manchester City Council (MCC) funded project is led by Talk Listen Change (TLC) and challenges and supports perpetrators to change and work with partner agencies to disrupt abuse. Referrals across all community outreach services increased by 22% in 21/22.
Our children’s services saw a significant increase in funding and activity during the year. New Burdens Funding contributed to our work with children in safe accommodation and the generosity of Mather Family Charitable Trust and Oglesby Charitable Trust contributed £67,400 for the provision of therapeutic intervention work with children across all services. We secured funding of £15,000 to deliver the 10 Dialogues workshops to young men in schools, this is a programme around sexual violence harm reduction. Whilst we were saddened to see funding, provided by Sport England, for the very successful BeActive Manchester project, come to an end, we were delighted to be able to continue and expand the provision of specialist domestic abuse services for the Big Manchester Partnership.
We are indebted to our incredible volunteers who assist in the delivery of all our projects and, without whom, our mission could not be delivered. During 2021-22 our 290 volunteers provided over 2,500 hours of support in the following ways:
-
Coaching aspiring leaders through our Queen Bee Coaching scheme;
-
Providing specialist Counselling for survivors of domestic violence;
-
Acting as community navigators for survivors when they first move into refuge or their own tenancy;
-
Being the knowledgeable tour guides and sales assistants around the Pankhurst Museum and Centre;
-
Providing buddy support to service users in the community; and
-
Contributing to keeping our garden at the Pankhurst Centre a restful space for service users and MFT hospital staff.

Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2022
Achievements and performance
We entered Year 3 of our Business Plan with optimism but also the realistic expectation that delivering safe, quality and sustainable services would be difficult given the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic and the lifting of restrictions. However, we have responded by delivering more in all 4 core aims of our business:
PREVENT
The Pankhurst Centre was closed from March 2020 until July 2021 and so it was with great delight that we were able to welcome 1,709 visitors in the period July 2021 to March 2022. We had to limit numbers to maintain social distancing so this is not a return to pre-pandemic levels but is a positive start and we look forward to building on this with future activity.
Donations dropped slightly by £10k (7%) but funding from private trusts, including Oglesby and Mather, particularly for our Children’s Service, increased by £41,200.
Our Children’s Services also received new funding from the Ministry of Justice enabling us to strengthen our prevention work by delivering workshops in schools to young men.
PROVIDE
During 2021-22 we received funds from more diverse sources than ever before. Of the £3m income, 55% was from outside of Manchester and 48% from outside of Greater Manchester. Bringing these valuable funds into the city enables Manchester residents to benefit from a greater range of services than has previously been possible. We take financial resilience seriously and saw a drop in rent arrears as our workers improve awareness of debt and benefits.
Calls to our referral line rose by 27% to 3,864 in 2021-22, due partly to the extended hours – the line is now staffed to 7pm weekdays – and also to our investment in an additional operator and administration support.
Referrals into our outreach services rose by 22% to 3,646 in 2021-22 compared to 2020-21 and this was despite losing our BeActive Manchester project delivering physical activity sessions. The number of people who were supported during this period rose by 19% from 1,574 in 2020-21 to 1,872 in 2021-22.
PARTNER
Our provision of safe accommodation through a number of dispersed properties continued to rise and, as of 31[st] March 2022, we had 6 such properties leased from One Manchester and Jigsaw Homes. Such partnerships are essential in improving access to homes that are safe and affordable and we will continue to seek out ways of increasing this provision.
We continue to partner with organisations that support health and wellbeing and have been successful in securing £31,525 worth of grants for such things as IT equipment, school necessities, carpets and other furnishings for new homes. Funding from We Love Manchester also enabled us to move women from refuge into their own tenancies and provide essential items such as white goods and furnishings. We are able to evidence the benefit of our work through our case management system and through our quarterly finance and performance meetings. By closely managing our performance we are able to state with confidence that:
-
97% of clients through our IRIS project report feeling more confident after our interventions.
-
81% of the same clients report feeling happy that they have been asked about domestic abuse by their healthcare professional.
-
82% of women accessing groupwork report feeling better able to recognise abusive behaviour.

Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2022
Our Board of Trustees continue to govern the organisation in line with our Values and the Charity Governance Code. Full Board meetings took place 4 times during the year, supported by Audit, HR and Pankhurst Committees that each have independent subject matter experts. A training day in November refreshed the trustees on their responsibilities around Principle 4: Decision making, risk and control and Principle 6: Diversity.
We were delighted to pilot a project aimed at “growing our own” domestic abuse workers. The Rise project started in January 2022 with 10 women recruited to trainee positions with a view to retaining them in permanent positions within the organisation once their 12-month training programme has been completed. This has been a valuable learning experience for both the trainees and the organisation and we look forward to seeing the impact they have on the services they go on work in.
Our volunteer base has increased greatly and we can now state that 290 volunteers provided some level of support to us in 2021-22, 124 in MWA services, 80 in Pankhurst Centre activity and 86 in our Queen Bee Coaching service. Of these 290, 44 have lived experience and 83 speak a language other than English.
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; and
Rooted by being secure in our communities, participating and nurturing a sense of belonging.
There was a total increase in unique domestic abuse survivors directly supported from 1,574 in 2020-21 to 1,872 in 2021-22. The chart below shows the differences between selected demographics and that more service users were aged over 70, more came from non-white ethnic backgrounds, more were working or in training, and more declared a mental or physical condition:

Our domestic abuse survivors told us that:
-
94% of refuge residents reported feeling safer;
-
75% of parents felt increased confidence in their parenting skills;
-
97% of service users accessing healthcare felt better able to recognise abusive behaviour; and
-
100% of women in our BAME service reported feeling less isolated due to having knowledge of other available services and wider community support network, including peer support.
The Pankhurst Centre museum re-opened to the public in July 2021 and, since then, has welcomed 1,709 visitors. Whilst we don’t currently collect demographic data on museum visitors we know we have reached out to many more younger people than ever before. Our school holiday activities and trial programme for primary schools have proven very popular and will be developed further in 2022-23. Our volunteers reach out further by delivering talks to other interested groups such as Local History groups, Women’s Institutes, etc.
Our Equalities projects have a far-reaching impact on women and girls across Greater Manchester:
-
On the Labyrinth project, we aim to increase the capacity of the women’s sector and bridge gaps in support. This is achieved through training of service users, staff and volunteers and networking across the sector to share work and best practice in supporting women and girls. Our work has specifically been working towards increasing support for women facing homelessness and women with immigration needs.
-
The full-time fierce project targets young working-class girls from across Greater Manchester. The program supports them with understanding gender-justice and forming campaigns to engage with activism in this sphere. The work helps increase under-represented voices in change-making and supports young girls with their confidence. One of our young people says about the project ‘I am here because I like the idea of unity and working together with different women’.
-
The women and girls’ equality panel can support and challenge Greater Manchester’s political leaders and policymakers to tackle the discrimination and disadvantage that cause injustice and inequality in society. The panel was established in December 2020. It aims to accelerate gender equality and ensure women and girls across Greater Manchester have their voices heard and influence GMCA. The panel brings together a diverse group of women across Greater Manchester, who represent their different communities and women they support.

Financial review
The trustees of the charity continue to monitor financial performance closely through the Audit Committee that meets quarterly. They are mindful that the rapid growth experienced by the charity in recent times has benefitted the operational teams but put intense pressure on the central service teams who have been unable to expand at the same rate. The 2020-21 budget was rolled over into 2021-22 to support the finance team as they got to grips with the additional funding and reporting expectations. By monitoring the financial performance regularly, we were able to control costs and end the year with a lower-than-expected deficit of £57,438.
In April 2021 the Domestic Abuse Bill became law and, with it, a significant amount of funding was made available to improve safe accommodation for victims/survivors. For PTMWA this meant additional funding in the year of £368,500 and £184,250 for 2022-23. However, this was an 18-month only commitment and we will be working closely with the commissioning team at Manchester City Council to mitigate the impact of any potential loss of this funding.
We were saddened to lose in October 2021 our BeActive Manchester project which provided physical activity sessions to families. Funding from Sport England ended and continuation funding was not available.
Our children’s Playfund project, part-funded through Manchester Young Lives, remains at risk as funding has drastically reduced and no longer covers staffing costs. We will review this in early 2022-23 in light of other children’s service provision.
We continue to seek continuation funding for our highly successful Sahara project for BAME women as the current funding comes to an end in May 2022. To lose this project would be a considerable setback as almost half our service users in 2021-22 came from non-white ethnic backgrounds and benefitted from this specialist service. Groupwork, which this project funded, is one of the most highly effective interventions and loss of funding will have a big impact on our communities.
Over the past few years we have diversified our income streams to mitigate the risk from being overly reliant on a small number of funders. Project income for 2021-22 came from 32 funding pots and 15 different funders, in 2017-18 this was 13 funding pots and 5 individual funders.
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; and
-
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 2022 is £1,197,157 (2021: £1,254,595). This includes the Pankhurst Centre lease of £322,801 (2021: £280,231) and restricted reserves of £207,753

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
Trustees’ annual report
for the year ended 31[st] March 2022
(2021: £267,719). Whilst trustees would usually designate at this point an amount of funds for specific activity in furtherance of the organisation’s charitable objects during the next financial year, as part of our Prosper objective (see below) we are undertaking a review of the remuneration package we offer staff and this will be a priority for our funds in the coming year. As a result, regular reviews of the reserves position will take place throughout the year and funds designated accordingly.
The level of free reserve at 31[st] March 2022 is £503,026 which equates to 2 months operating costs at the current level of activity.
Plans for the future
Our Business Plan for 2019-24 will continue to guide us in the work that we do but we also recognise that there are external forces over which we have no control. The Covid-19 pandemic changed the way that we work and the economic downturn has impacted heavily on the cost and availability of staff and supplies. Our risk register is key to keeping us alert to the pressures that surround us and ensuring our activity is realistic and manageable.
We will continue to deliver activity in accordance with our Business Plan objectives:
Prevent:
-
Extend our reach of the Pankhurst Centre by opening Sundays and delivering a programme of activity for schools.
-
Expand supporter and donor networks with the aim of increasing the amount of unrestricted funding received into the organisation.
-
We will ensure more staff, volunteers and service users have improved awareness of, and access to, finance, debt and benefits advice.
Provide:
-
We will significantly increase the number of properties in our portfolio to ensure more people are able to access safe accommodation.
-
We intend to grow the number of ways in which we engage with potential and existing service users starting with a Service Users Conference in November 2022.
-
As part of our intention to extend our reach, we were successful in 2021-22 in securing the IRIS project in Salford and will commence delivery in April 2022.
Partner:
-
We will strengthen our partnership with Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) to ensure the Pankhurst Centre is safe and embedded within the hospital estate.
-
We have identified, and will develop our working relationship with, social investors and housing providers in order to access more safe and affordable properties for survivors.
-
We will work with other specialist providers to complement our offer and access funding.
Prosper:
-
We have started, and will deliver, the Hera Project – a review of pay and benefits with the aim of retaining staff for longer and becoming the employer of choice.
-
We will increase the number of volunteering opportunities available for both volunteers and staff.
-
We will increase the number of opportunities for training and development.

Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17[th] October 2008 and registered as a charity on 24[th] October 2008. The company was established under a Memorandum and Articles of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
Company status
Members of the charity guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charity in the event of winding up. The trustees are members of the charity but this entitles them only to voting rights. The trustees have no beneficial interest in the charity. The total number of such guarantees at 31[st] March 2022 was 13 (2021:13).
Trustees
The trustees are directors of the charity and, under the company’s Articles, are known as Board members with voting rights. They all give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Any expenses reclaimed from the charity are set out in note 12 to the accounts.
The Board regularly undertakes a skills audit of the trustees to identify gaps in the Board experience and knowledge. New trustees are appointed on a 3-year term – confirmed at the Annual General Meeting following the appointment - to fill these gaps. There is an induction and training plan in place for all trustees to strengthen their role in safeguarding and strategic planning and, in addition to the standard Board meetings, there are a minimum of two additional strategy and training days per year. In 2021-22 these focussed on areas from the Charity Governance Code. Trustees are also able to access the organisation’s training plan and attend any that they feel would be beneficial to their role and/or understanding. A trustee usually represents the charity at the annual WAFE conference.
Organisational structure
The organisation is affiliated to the Women’s Aid Federation of England (WAFE) but is an independent charitable company with its own structure and operational policies.
The trustees delegate day-to-day management of the charity to the Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Management Team who, at 31[st] March 2022, comprised:
Chief Executive Officer Gail Heath Business Manager Lynne Warner Director of Operational Services Elaine De Fries Operations Managers Christie Webster Nabeela Hussain Val Nuttall (started 30[th] June 2021) Finance Manager Ruth Rigby HR Manager Megan Burns (started 7[th] March 2022)
The organisational Scheme of Delegation, reviewed annually, sets out the responsibilities of the Board and CEO/SMT which, at 31[st] March 2022, was as per the table below:

Related parties and relationships with other organisations
The charity operates under two trading names – Manchester Women’s Aid which delivers on the domestic abuse objectives and the Pankhurst Centre which delivers on heritage, culture and equalities objectives. All core activity – executive management, finance, HR, IT, property and performance – is delivered by the umbrella organisation The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid) (PTMWA).
It is a strategic objective of the charity to deliver in partnership with other organisations as we believe this strengthens and gives breadth to the quality of service we can provide to our beneficiaries. During the year we were proud to co-operate with the following organisations in pursuit of our charitable objectives:
- Barnardo’s, Homestart Manchester, Mind, CGL – providing a domestic abuse specialism to the Big Manchester projects working with families.

Remuneration policy for key management personnel
The remuneration package for all personnel comprises a basic salary and contribution to a pension scheme. All salaries are agreed by the trustees annually. The salaries of the Executive team – comprising the CEO, Business Manager and Director of Operational Services – were independently benchmarked against organisations of a similar nature and locality in 2021.
The charity is subject to pension auto-enrolment and contributions are currently made at 3.5% as agreed by the trustees in 2012. This is reviewed annually, most latterly in March 2022.
During 2021, we took steps to ensure our female staff feel supported and valued when they have children. We made a significant change to our Maternity Policy by setting pay at a level in excess of both the statutory requirement and that of most organisations in the sector.
Risk management
The trustees consider all major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that the procedures in place to manage them are adequate and effective. The Audit Committee meets quarterly to:
“take delegated responsibility on behalf of the Board of Trustees for ensuring that there is an effective framework for accountability; for examining and reviewing all systems and methods of control, both financial and otherwise, including risk analysis and risk management; and for ensuring the charitable company is complying with all aspects of the law, relevant regulations and good practice”.
The organisation’s risk register is reviewed by the Audit Committee at least twice yearly and by Board at least annually. All staff, management, trustees and independent members of sub-committees contribute to these reviews.
Fundraising
The charity relies on its own staff to raise funds to deliver activity and does not engage a third party to do this on its behalf. As well as a dedicated Fundraising Manager who is responsible for setting the strategy and raising funds from private and corporate donors, most managers are trained in bid writing and are encouraged to apply for funds for work in their areas. This is controlled by a Funding Panel that meets monthly to discuss managers intentions and authorise bids before submission.
All activity follows the 6 principles of the Charity Commission on charity fundraising.

Statement of responsibilities of the trustees
The trustees (who are also directors of The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid) 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.

The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
Independent Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid Charity Ltd (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (including the income and expenditure account), the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes. 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, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
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 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.
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
14
The Pankhurst Trust (Incorporating Manchester Women’s Aid)
Independent Auditor’s Report
for the year ended 31 March 2022
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 2022
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.

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), 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 2022 (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.

Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022 (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 2022 (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.
