Mothers Against Violence Limited Registered number: 10639212 Trustees' Report

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.

Our purposes and activities

To relieve poverty, advance education and to promote social inclusion, the social inclusion of young people within the community by:

a. relieving their needs

b. working with them towards the eradication of violence

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 UK (MAV UK) has renewed its commitment to providing activities face to face. This includes working with returning citizens and providing counselling. These services were delivered over the phone or using video call during COVID-19 restrictions. The management committee also return to meeting in person, while supporting those members of the team shielding by continuing with video call options. MAV UK increased its service activities, introducing regular weekly yoga classes, with the aim of improving physical and mental health issues. These were significantly impacted in our local community, due to the impact of COVID-19 restrictions.

Hulme Centre continues to provide increased service support. We have seen an increase in Faith Service Hire and youth group support. Our collaborative approach has allowed us to engage youth led groups such as Jet Black Academy. MAV UK have worked with Manchester City Council’s Estate Team, developing a clear plan for extending the current lease of Hulme Centre for 25 additional years. The process has been significantly delayed; due to a backlog of leases the City Council were dealing with because of COVID-19.

MAV UK secured funding from National Lottery and Our Nature. This funding supported sessions for young parents and their children. We also increased access to mental health support using the significant increase in donations made to the charity. This was largely due to the promotion of charity services by the new Operational Manager role. This encouraged hall hirers to make donations to the charity, alongside hall hire payments.

We have fully invested in implementing targets to improving our environmental footprint using recycling. We have also supported key staff to use electric travel. We now deliver 80% of all services using electric car travel, walking and public transport. We can now evidence the significant reduction in fuel reimbursement costs, over a one-year period.

Future Investment Plan

MAV UK are currently finalising a 25-year lease for Hulme Centre with Manchester City Council. We plan to have a permanent Director of Operations in place by 2024. This will help provide a sustainable way for the charity to provide long-term employment. The additional donations will cover planned repairs on roof and toilets at Hulme Centre. There will be funds raised for the expansion and sustainability of Hulme Centre to continue to meet the growing demands on our youth, family and prison services.

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 2023

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 given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.

When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included until the preconditions for use have been met.

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.

for the year ended 31 March 2023

1 Accounting Policies

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 asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings & 20% p.a. on a reducing balance 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.

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.
