Mothers Against Violence Limited Registered number: 10639212 Trustees' Report

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.

Our purposes and activities

To relieve poverty, advance education and to promote social inclusion, in particular the social inclusion of young people within the community by: a relieving their needs; b working with them towards the eradication of violence; and c by relieving victims of crime from the effects of violence through: education, counselling, advice, information, support, partnership working and by such other charitable means as the executive committee sees fit.

Mothers Against Violence (MAV UK) have built strong relationships with schools, colleges, police, local churches and Manchester city council. However, as MAV UK take the time to look back at a 20 year history, we are most proud of the relationships we have with local people. We believe it is these relationships which gives the charity a proven track record of delivering what local people need.

MAV UK were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Due to COVID-19 government restrictions, MAV UK Community Hulme Hall was closed to public hire. This reduced the charity’s ability to raise unrestricted funds. The management committee were proactive in their approach to put together a COVID-19 Response Plan. The plan was fully completed by Sunday 24[th] May 2020 and was immediately implemented into the new action plan.

The committee agreed to use all administration resources, which would have been used for hall hire management, redirecting these resources to support the writing of funding bids. This increased our applications for funding by 80%. On reflection we believe this focus on funding at the start of the pandemic was a great idea, as we were able to increase restricted funds year ending March 2021 by over 30%.

The additional funding secured from The CLINKS Charity allowed us to provide virtual counselling sessions to ex-offenders coming out of prison, during COVID-19 pandemic. MAV UK’s Active community Counselling and Emotional Support Services (ACCESS) increased the capacity for counselling and mentor support. This allowed counsellors to provide service by phone and video call. Virtual therapy had never been used before. The ACCESS project reviewed safeguarding and implemented additions security measures to allow for a safe transition to phone and video call counselling.

MAV UK increased working from home for staff. Additional funds secured from the Clothworkers’ Foundation allowed the purchase of additional computers. The development of two additional office stations at Hulme Hall transferred the Walter Tull rooms, from hire space to additional office space. This ensured better social distancing areas across the charity offices and the hall.

An outside area was developed with funding secured by the Heritage Lottery. We created an outside terrace area, which allowed direct access from the main hall. The project was led by an external service provided by Globicon LTD.

Future Goals

MAV UK will complete Funding application to National Lottery. The funding requested will allowed us to invest in youth services at the Hall. Part of these funds will ensure the STOP & REACH project continued to develop and engage young people. Many youth services, working with higher risk young people, continued throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. We were able to improve support for these groups by engaging with other local services working with young people.

We will start the process of extending our five-year lease on Hulme Hall. We will request an additional lease of at least 20 years. This will secure the current investment made, providing security for youth-based services in the local area for the next 2 decades.

We will also create new employment opportunities. This will start with a MAV UK Hall Operational Manager’s Position.

The results of the charity are shown on pages 4 to 11.

Mothers Against Violence Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting Policies

Charity information

Mothers Against Violence Ltd. is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Claremont Centre, Jarvis Road Manchester, M15 5FS.

1.1 Accounting Convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view. This departure has involved following the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

1.2 Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis that assumes that the charity will continue to receive the support of its bankers, creditors and funders. At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Income

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.

Income from donations and grants, including capital grants, is included when these are receivable, except as follows:

When donors specify that donations and grants, including capital grants, are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to preconditions regarding entitlement, this income is included as restricted funds when receivable.

6

Mothers Against Violence Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting Policies

Voluntary income includes discretionary grants for projects, goods and services where no service agreement or contract exists.

Other grants, which have particular service requirements and which are provided in accordance with a contract or service level agreement are included in the Statement of Financial Activities under the heading Charitable Activities.

Interest is included when receivable.

1.4 Expenditure

Expenditure reflects all amounts paid and accrued during the year. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource.

Charitable expenditure

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Governance costs

These represent costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.

1.5 Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost or deemed cost for land and buildings on transition Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each Fixtures, fittings & 20% p.a. on a straight line basis

equipment

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/ (expenditure) for the year.

1.6 Impairment of Fixed Assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.7 Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.

1.8 Financial Instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic Financial Assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic Financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.9 Investments

The Trustees consider that monies held with Barclays Bank on deposit should be regarded as a current asset investment.

1.10 Accumulated funds

Funds held by the charity are:

Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.

Mothers Against Violence Limited Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021

1 Accounting Policies

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for a particular purpose. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.11 Taxation

The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions. Recovery is made of tax deducted from qualifying income and from receipts under Gift Aid.

The charity is not able to recover Value Added Tax. Expenditure is recorded in the accounts inclusive of VAT.

1.12 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
