We recognise that the last few years have been particularly challenging for our client group. Covid-19 continues to have an impacl on the mental health of women affected by domestic abuse during this time. and Chikj￿n who have experienced long periods of isolation within al>usive homes. The current cost of living crisis has impacted on access to services. as perpetrators use this as a means of coeTave control. and on the day to day lives of women and children before coming to refuge. during their stay. and in planning their move on. Having identif￿d the need to provide additional support to alleviate the hardship for women as a result of the cost of living crisis, in the lasl year this has included.. Addits"onal support dunng the winter months when we recognise that there are additional costs for families Hardship support for familtes in our refuge, particularfy when Ihey first move into the refuge. buying essential tlems that they have left behind, initial shopping. transF)Ort to the refuge, and other items such as obtaining birth certificates and other paperwork that they may have left behind. Support from a local company towards the energy costs of women moving on from the refuge and into their own homes, vthich means that in the initial first few months when they are adjusting to their new home and life, they do not have to worry about energy bills.

STROUD BERESFORD LIMITED INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the year ended 31 March 2023

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023, which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out therein.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.

Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

• examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Charities Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:

• accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;

• the financial statements do not accord with such records:

• where financial statements are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)

• any matter, which in my opinion, should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the financial statements.
