## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To relieve the charitable needs of vulnerable women and girls, particularly those who are at risk of or involved in prostitution in Leeds, or such other locations as the trustees may from time to time think fit, and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected to the charitable work of the charity.
## **The charity's main activities**
Joanna works with women and girls, particularly those at risk of or involved in prostitution in Leeds. Through practical and emotional support, befriending and mentoring we aim to enable these women to exit prostitution and sustain a new life.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities Joanna Project's trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. Our focus in particular is on improving the safety, health and wellbeing of the vulnerable women in contact with the charity, in accordance with Joanna Project's purpose.
The ‘heads of charity’ Joanna Project operates within is the relief of those in need, by reason of youth, age, illhealth, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
## **Achievements and performance**
We work with women who have encountered multiple disadvantages and whose complex needs require a long term relational approach. When the Coronavirus Pandemic struck we recognised that all their previous vulnerabilities still remained and now they had additional challenges, so we were determined to maintain a face to face frontline service, adapting our service to remain compliant with the ever changing restrictions. We were able to continue with practical and emotional support, assisting with food and phone provision, as well as providing help with accessing housing, medical care, mental health support and drug treatment. Our advocacy role remains key. We are pleased that this last year has demonstrated that we are a service that is able to be flexible and adaptable in order to respond to changing needs and that the women know we are still here for them. Our core Christian values remain: hope, love and dignity.
We saw an annual growth in our reach (10% more women) and activity (27% more interventions). Social distancing restrictions necessitated the pausing of our physical drop-in, ‘Open house’ operations. Whilst missing the benefits of providing the community space and hosting of clinics, this step released capacity for oneto-one work with 165 women.
Throughout this time, we have reaped the benefits of years of building up relationships with other services and agencies which paid dividends in the amount of liaison we were able to achieve and the assistance we were able to give colleagues in other services who were working remotely. Partnership working remains a key part of being able to ensure the needs of women are met and to further help with that we became a member of the Women’s Lives Leeds Alliance.
The pandemic highlighted the need for staff to be able to work remotely should the need arise so we commissioned an online record keeping system which has been a great asset.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **Objectives and activities**
## **Financial review**
The net income for the year was £60,188, including net income of £39,425 on unrestricted funds and net income of £20,763 on restricted funds after transfers.
We have not identified any material uncertainties that cast doubt on the ability of Joanna Leeds to continue as a going concern in the short term. We are aware that the long running grant from the lottery is due to come to an end during 2021. That said we have been successful in securing a grant from the Ministry of Justice that mitigates this loss for the year and we remain confident that our relationship with the lottery will be renewed later in the year.
Despite the uncertainty caused by Covid, and increased expenditure on IT equipment to facilitate different ways of working for colleagues, overall the charity’s expenditure was lower than budgeted. Additionally the charity benefited from the government furlough scheme, and Covid related grants, which resulted in cash reserves increasing from £87k at the start of the year to £113k by the end of the year.
At the time of signing these accounts the charity has been impacted by the global Covid-19 virus. The trustees have reassessed the charity’s ability to continue for at least 12 months from the date that the accounts are approved and conclude that no material uncertainties exist that cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £99,978.
Joanna Project's reserves policy is to hold free reserves (unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) of between 3 and 6 months of total annual expenditure.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Joanna Leeds
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 6 to 14.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## Joanna Leeds
## Notes to the accounts
## for the year ended 31 December 2020
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Basis of accounting**
These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) and with the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. There has been no change to the accounting policies since last year. No changes have been made to the accounts for previous years.
## **Going concern**
The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
## **Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
## **Grants and donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.
Where grants are related to performance and specific deliverables, they are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
## **Expenditure and liabilities**
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out the resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Taxation**
As a charity the organisation benefits from rates relief and is generally exempt from income tax and capital gains tax but not from VAT. Irrecoverable VAT is included in the cost of those items to which it relates.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised and included at cost including any incidental expenses of acquisition. Gifted assets are shown at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the cost on a straight line basis over their expected useful economic lives as follows: Motor vehicles: over 4 years Software : over 10 years
## **Pensions**
The charity operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. The costs of contributions are recognised in the year they are payable.
