OUR MISSION

NO GIRL SHOULD STRUGGLE ALONE

Noa continues at the forefront of community-based mental health services for Jewish adolescent girls. This year, we are now in 16 schools, deepened our clinical expertise and maintained a 96% engagement rate - an achievement rarely seen in adolescent services.

This progress is only possible because of your commitment. Together, we are not just responding to a crisis, we are reshaping the landscape of adolescent mental health and building a model of care that is both innovative and enduring.

Frontline and early intervention remain key areas of growth. Our Education Programme has delivered more tailored mental health sessions to wider audiences, our Eating Disorder programme has expanded to include a disordered eating specialism and our new Emotional Regulation courses are successfully being rolled out. Earlier action results in quicker, smoother and more sustainable recovery, uprooting and pre-empting more harmful coping mechanisms and behaviours. Our staff’s creativity and focus on adolescent friendly services has maintained our remarkably high engagement rate and this, together with our rigorous monitoring and

evaluation, high impact and unbreakable fidelity to safeguarding continues to attract both existing and new funding bodies and partners. We are also deeply grateful for the continued support from the community, evident in our annual fundraising campaign, which underscores our role as a vital community resource. The mental health crisis continues, and so does our work. Our experience shows that with the right resources, we can change the tide for individuals and the community. Our young people can build the resilience and mental strength they need to face today’s challenges. Your crucial support is what is making that difference. Thank you for believing in us and every girl who is brave enough to ask for the support she needs. Thank you for building a stronger community. Thank you for changing the equation.

Warm regards,

Noa provides practical emotional and therapeutic support to adolescent girls in the Jewish community. We empower each girl to harness her innate strength, to move forward and overcome the obstacles in her life to live an independent positive and healthy future.

The impact that Noa has had on my life and on me as an individual is endless.”

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The trustees confirm their compliance with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

The girls we support struggle with often complex and severe mental health challenges, many of which stem from or are exacerbated by trauma and/or difficult home situations.

They saved my life and continue to do so throughout my darkest days”

‘RACHEL’ was referred to Noa

suffering with self-harm and suicidal ideation. Her severe social anxiety was preventing her from regular attendance at school. Despite being a loving and attentive parent, Rachel’s dad, a single parent to a number of children, was resistant to approaching statutory service, fearing that they would judge him as unfit to parent. In therapy, Rachel worked through her feelings of abandonment and anxiety created from her mother leaving the family home that prevented her from making meaningful connections with others. We also provided academic tutoring to help Rachel catch up with work she had missed from school whilst working with her school to create a modified timetable which Rachel felt she could manage. We encouraged Rachel’s father to approach statutory services without fear, so he could better support Rachel and his other children. Rachel is now attending school at 75% capacity and working towards her GCSEs. Rachel has created a small friendship group in which she feels safe and hasn’t selfharmed for 8 months. 66 I felt incredibly supported and I knew there were people rooting for me.”

Seeing my keyworker weekly has helped me in ways I can’t put into words. Knowing that no matter what I am feeling, she will hold a safe space for me, has been a lifesaver.”

EATING DISORDER PROGRAMME

We provide a full holistic service within Noa, giving the 360 care model girls need to build and maintain recovery, whatever stage they are at. Our team is made up of psychologists, psychotherapists, family therapists, dietician and nutritionist, as well as our keyworkers and mentors, giving similar coverage as an NHS model, but packaged in a far more creative and adolescent friendly way. We engage girls successfully and meet them where they are at.

We treat girls across the whole range of eating disorders and disordered eating. This is particularly important for girls who are unable to access NHS services due to specific exclusions based on perceived need, including age, diagnosis and BMI, as well as for those whose fears of exposure and cultural friction act as barriers to access. Where girls are able to access statutory services such as CAMHS, we work closely with these existing support structures, as well as their schools and families, to ensure care is joined up, most efficiently deployed and sustainable.

THE NEED

Disordered eating, itself a distressing and harmful challenge can be an early warning sign of an eating disorder and quickly escalate. Our new disordered eating package, which sits within our greater Eating Disorder Programme, is about early intervention, to help those girls showing signs of disordered eating to regain control over their eating behaviours and to prevent the development of a diagnosed eating disorder which is far more complex and traumatic to treat.

This is a particular needed due to the lack of support for disordered eating within the NHS. Disordered eating does not fit the specific criteria or conditions for entry to services.

OUR METHODOLOGY

The Service offers CBT-T dietetics which includes psychoeducation and meal plans, family work. We provide materials on topics including self-esteem, body image, anxiety, friendships and relationships should these be elements contributing towards the disordered eating, or on neurodiversity and disordered eating, if appropriate.

As with all Noa work, each girl is assessed on her individual needs and circumstances and her support is tailored accordingly. Whilst some girls may just need some dietetic support, others will need more intense and diverse support.

Noa have helped me find my self-worth and given me a reason to fight for myself throughout the hardships.”

AUTISM EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME

We support girls with ASC to navigate a neurotypical world from an empowered position. We help girls access assessments and diagnoses, understand the ramifications of their diagnosis and their unique strengths, exploring how they perceive the world and vice versa, social skills (making explicit the implicit ways of communication) and support them to build fulfilling relationships.

Our programme includes:

When adolescents struggle to manage their emotions, then may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to manage them. We have been awarded a new grant from BBC Children in Need to develop and deliver emotional regulation courses both within the Noa Service and to others who would benefit from a DBTbased early intervention. We have already provided DBT-based training to staff across Noa and created the resources for the courses. We are excited to roll this programme out over the coming year supporting further emotional resilience and pathways to recovery to more girls.

The programme also focuses on training those working with adolescent girls, ie in-house clinical staff, school staff, youth leaders, on the specific challenges girls with ASC face, deconstruct common myths about ASC, particularly in females. We have also produced resources for schools to help them consider how they can better support those with neurodiversity. hearing a modernised view of autism was refreshing” SCHOOL STAFF MEMBER

In the last few years, specifically since Covid, there has been a huge increase in persistent absence, emotional based school avoidance or school refusal. It is a growing and serious issue. It can have profound negative impact on the child as well as repercussions such as loss of ability to work for a parent. In response we created a specific programme 70% in order to support girls at risk of dropping out of of school refusers the education system to (re)engage in school and returned to receive a full education. education Our programme includes: • targeted support to identify and overcome schoolrelated barriers (anxiety, bullying, emotional abuse, social skills). U) • helping those struggling to attain educational referrals, tuition and educational consultations. • work with schools and parents to help them recognise and understand the connection with other struggles and how to create the most conducive learning environment. • specific training to enable staff in schools to view girls’ challenges around school attendance 65% through a new lens which identifies specific issues as the deeper reason for their absences or improved or disengagement from school. This leads to better maintained their advocacy on behalf of girls. At the same time, attendance

We piloted a 6 week course for six sets of parents of girls identified by a high school as either not in school or with severely poor attendance. The feedback was very positive. 100% of parents said that, “the course improved our understanding of EBSA and how to support our child”. All parents agreed that they would you recommend this course to parents facing similar challenges.

You saved my life. You taught me to live and that I deserve care and for things to be better. I now have purpose and confidence. These things seemed impossible before I came to Noa. I have a life I enjoy and am happy to wake up to every day. And for that I am truly grateful.”

MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Our mental health education programme continues to grow, delivering tailored mental health education to staff, parents and girls in 16 high schools in North West London and Hackney communities. The education curriculum covers such topics as ‘Friendship, Peer Influence and Emotional Safety’, ‘Building Emotional Awareness’, ‘Understanding Stress and Staying Regulated’. ‘Healthy Relationships and Self-Worth’. We have also run training sessions and community education evenings for youth leaders, Rabbinic and community leaders.

This increase in awareness and early intervention is transforming how schools and the community respond to mental health and challenges our girls face, providing a more sensitive, responsive and supportive environment for girls and their families. As a community, we are becoming better at identifying and guiding girls to access effective support. Girls themselves are developing a safer language for mental health, giving them the ability to effectively communicate distress and struggle.

We have started expanding into providing education to years 5 and 6 on eating disorders and food struggles as our experience and data is pointing to issues and disordered eating starting at this early age.

Noa has changed the face of our school! From a school that really wanted to address mental health but didn’t know how, we are now able to say that, thanks to Noa, our school have clarity, vision and guidance in terms of mental health. This is no longer just another DFE requirement we need to fulfil; rather it’s at the focus of what we do.”

GIRLS ARE BRAVELY AND RESILIENTLY MAKING POSITIVE, HEALTHIER CHOICES

Girls who have been with Noa for under a year Girls who have been with Noa for over a year

Data is based on 139 girls and relate to relevant milestones. The significance of each of these milestones cannot be overstated. Girls often come to us at a point when they are overwhelmed and devoid of hope. Whether they are at early stages in their journey, where simply showing up week after week is way of winning the battle, or whether they are further down the line and have not relapsed to self-harming and risky behaviours for months, each girl’s victory is recognised and celebrated.

Barnet invited Noa to join a working group creating EBSA guidance for schools across the borough. The invitation was in recognition that Jewish pupils may need additional or culturally specific support. We worked within the working group to ensure that the guidance distributed included tailored information relevant to Jewish pupils.

We followed up our pamphlets on Pesach and Eating Disorders with another two booklets highlighting the specific challenges around Eating Disorders and Yom Kippur. As before, the leaflets, one targeted external services and one produced for both communal leaders and parents, were met with huge enthusiasm and positive feedback.

We distributed the leaflets to professional organisations, community leaders and Rabbis and it was posted on the NCL GP websites (64 clicks). Comments we received included:

Without Noa I am not sure what would happen to patients. The NHS wouldn’t cope. GP services wouldn’t cope and there aren’t any real alternatives out there in the community.”

WE HAVE ALSO HAD THE PESACH AND YOM KIPPUR BOOKLETS TRANSLATED INTO YIDDISH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF CERTAIN GIRLS AND COMMUNITIES IN HACKNEY.

IT WAS DISTRIBUTED TO OVER 70 RABBIS IN HACKNEY AND THE FEEDBACK WAS INCREDIBLY POSITIVE, CREATING BETTER UNDERSTANDING IN THE COMMUNITY.

HANNAH’S STORY

‘HANNAH’ has spent a number of years struggling with anxiety, binge eating and then anorexia.

What started off as some anxiety around school work, began impacting her confidence and socially; Hannah became very isolated both from friends and from her three brothers. Hannah’s parents, whilst loving and supportive of her, felt overwhelmed and in her mother’s words ‘drowning’. Hannah’s intense relationship with food was taking over all mealtimes and affecting everyone negatively. As pressure in school built for A-levels, Hannah’s anxiety around food turned into a full case of anorexia. Hannah would cycle through different therapies, would be admitted as an in-patient, gain weight but then as soon as she left, would lose that weight again. During this period, Hannah was absent from school for long periods of time, creating increased academic pressure and stress as she struggled to maintain her grades at exam time, which further negatively affected her relationship with food. Hannah was referred to Noa as a last chance of recovery after being discharged from an in-patient facility, but quickly spiralling down again when she returned home.

We provided Hannah with both dietetics and therapy. Hannah displayed high motivation and made small changes to her eating every week. She started slowly gaining weight and has managed to create a positive attitude to this gain in contrast to previous attempts. We also provided family therapy to her mother and siblings to help them understand and relate to Hannah’s challenges and how they can create a sustainable support system and beneficial home environment. This has been beneficial for all of Hannah’s siblings, one of whom has been diagnosed with disordered eating.

Whilst Hannah is not fully recovered, she has made great progress and her medical team, whom we are in constant contact with, are very happy with her trajectory. In Hannah’s case the success is not just the increased weight, but the way she now relates to her body and the sustained motivation to maintain recovery. Hannah was able to attain the high grades she was predicted and is now in her second year of university. She maintains a tight knit group of friends who healthily support her and has regained a close relationship with her family.

I do see a really happy future, I really do.”

Anorexia had stolen her from me and it was impacting, every area of her life, I was angry. I was heartbroken. I felt like I’d let her down as a mum. She was so ill and I had been blinded because she wore big baggy clothes and she hid it pretty well.

when she comes back. Because she’s doing it for her, to please herself.

There were points where I didn’t know what would be with her. Everything was dark. I couldn’t see a way out of it because it is genuinely one of the ugliest diseases. Anorexia is wicked. It breaks up families, breaks up marriages. It steals your kid’s personality, their future. It eats into so many avenues of life that you can’t even begin to imagine unless you’ve touched on it.

Everything revolved around anorexia and it became our entire home. It was a miserable place. I was absolutely drowning. We took 10 steps forwards, 30 steps back. We weren’t really making enough progress. And then one of her friends called her up one day and said, have you ever heard of Noa.

Her last appointment at the NHS, they said they were discharging her because she had done so well and because they knew she was at Noa. They said to her, we want to know their secret. What they did for her in less than a year.

I made the call and I’ve never in my life been heard and listened to in the way I was by the person who picked up at the other end.

She went to her first Noa meeting and she came out of there and said they are incredible, ‘I think I’m turning the corner’. On day one she goes, ‘everything they said made sense’. The smile for me spoke volumes, ‘they got me mum they absolutely understood’ me she had a glow on her.

I think it’s the way that the staff at Noa have almost climbed into the brains of these girls and understand, not just the medical side but exactly how they tick, what they need.

Out of the five girls that went through one system with my daughter, they all failed unfortunately. She’s on Instagram with some of them, three of them are back in hospital unfortunately. I think where Noa is unique is that they are tailor-making a support network for each individual girl.

It was the way they dealt with my daughter, accepting what she was prepared to eat, as opposed to all the other programs that she’d been on. At the day centre she had been at, she was given plates of food. She’s a people pleaser. She wanted to do it. She proved she could to them, but she couldn’t maintain it at home. Whereas the dieticians that work through Noa, worked with what she does eat and what she likes to eat, slowly increasing it.

My daughter now is the happiest version of herself that I have seen. She’s doing so well and enjoying her university course. Our relationship is back on track, I’m so close with her. We understand each other. She’s confident. She’s happy. She’s smiling. She’s got energy. Wow is she a different human being.”

I was so worried about how she was going to react when she gained weight, but she had such a smile on her face

My daughter now is the happiest version of herself.”

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE CONTINUED

The charity received donations and grants and other income totalling £1,930,377 over the past 12 months and has continued to support girls at risk during the reporting period. The charity works with the girls one-to-one and creates a care plan for each of them which includes a keyworker, mentor and, in many cases, therapy.

The financial results of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 are fully reflected in the attached financial statements together with the notes thereon.

ACHIEVEMENTS AGAINST SET OBJECTIVES

This year we have met a number of objectives that we set at the beginning of the year. We again set ourselves an ambitious budget to enable us to take on additional girls and, at the same time to expand and improve the service we provide the girls. Our total expenditure for the year stood at £1,906,156. As part of our strategy to reach as many girls as possible, we continue to widen our funding base, both through new grants and additional sustainable funders. We continue to receive funding from local authorities in both Barnet and Hackney for individual girls as well as local authority funding through CY-IAPT training funding and NHS grants.

HOW PERFORMANCE AND SUCCESS ARE MEASURED

In the last few years, we have invested heavily (thanks to a part of the grant from the National Lottery Community Fund) in our monitoring and evaluation systems to enable us to measure, analyse and report our successes and progress. A number of different evaluation forms are filled in regularly and inform our ongoing services and innovation of new programmes. We are working with CORC to further strengthen our monitoring systems to provide evaluation systems that work on national scales to place our work against other services including NHS services.

FUNDING CAMPAIGN

We held our fourth matched funding campaign in November 2024, which enabled us to meet our budget, and widened our funding base within the community. We also used this campaign as an opportunity to spread awareness about mental health and to destigmatise the challenges our girls experience.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT.

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee and as such, its governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Its registered charity number is 1130834 and its company registration number is 6880752.

New trustees are appointed based on personal competence, specialist skills, availability and knowledge of and contact with institutions attending to the needs of adolescent girls at risk in the Jewish Community. New trustees are inducted into the workings of the charity by the existing trustees and the Senior Management team. All trustees, like staff are DBS checked and undergo safeguarding training.

The trustees administer the day-to-day affairs of the charity. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the charity and no expenses were paid in the year.

OUR TEAM

Our charity is run for and by women.

Our team is made up of 42 members of staff (25 FTE). Our clinical staff includes clinical psychologists, counselling psychologists, child and adolescent psychotherapists and family therapists, giving our girls coverage for a broad number of issues similar to the composition of a local authority team.

We maintain a high level of professional supervision for all clinical staff, including weekly case supervision and monthly external clinical supervision with child and adolescent psychotherapists or clinical psychologists. In addition, we provide regular professional training for all staff to ensure the high level of skill and competence that we expect from all those working for Noa.

We have a team of 68 dedicated volunteers from across the community, many of whom serve as mentors to our girls.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

RESERVES POLICY

The trustees aim to maintain reserves in order that they can continue to fulfil the objects of the charity.

As at 31 March 2025 the charity had total funds of £805,679, of which £312,009 are restricted funds and £493,670 are unrestricted funds. Unrestricted funds are readily available for use. The trustees consider the level of funds to be adequate having regard to the planned level of charitable activities to be undertaken by the charity.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finance of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to manage those risks.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The trustees plan to continue to help adolescent girls at risk in the Jewish Community by both continuing their current care plans and projects, whilst seeking to increase funding to develop new projects, in accordance with the charity’s objectives.

In order to achieve these objectives, the trustees successfully raised significant and much needed funds at a fundraising event during the year. The grants and donations received as a result of this event are manifest in the cash reserves at the year end and which will be applied in the next accounting period in the course of the charity’s operations and programmes.

A huge thank you to all our generous funders, who have partnered with us and enabled us to change so many girls’ lives and build lasting mental strength in the community.

As well as the huge generosity and support from the community and private individuals, we are fortunate to be supported by our patrons and to be the recipients of grants and support from the following national institutions, statutory bodies and private trusts:

OPINION

OTHER INFORMATION

We have audited the financial statements of Noa Girls (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the statement of financial activities (including income and expenditure account), statement of financial position, statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 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:

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work 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:

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 charity 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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 25 to the financial statements, 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 charity'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.

MATTERS ON WHICH WE ARE REQUIRED TO REPORT BY EXCEPTION

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charity 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:

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES

As explained more fully in the trustees' responsibilities statement, the trustees (who are also the directors 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 charity'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 charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

USE OF OUR REPORT

This report is made solely to the charity'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 charity'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 charity and the charity's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There were no significant judgements or estimates made in the preparation of these financial statements.

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Land and buildings - 10% straight line Fixtures and fittings - 20% straight line Equipment - 20% straight line Building improvements - 2% straight line

Depreciation of an asset begins when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the charity.

YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

4. LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10.
