Objectives and activities

The charity's objects

To relieve the charitable needs of vulnerable women, 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, 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.

Achievements and performance

We celebrated turning 20 with a garden party attended by around 50 guests; our guest list included local councillors, partners, supporters, volunteers, and staff present and past, and was a wonderful celebration of 20 years supporting women who need a place to belong and feel safe. We had a mural painted on our garden wall which was co-produced with the women we support and is a beautiful mark of having been “here” for 20 years. We also launched our new strategic plan 2024 – 2029.

This year has also seen some areas of development to the work we do. We have always visited women at New Hall HMP, but this year have been able to invest in this area of work giving time to one of our workers to visit once a month and to follow up with them on release. As a result, we have seen women released from prison into suitable accommodation and with everything in place they need to give the best chance of a fresh start.

We have also invested more staff time in our Evening Outreach employing a worker for 15 hours a week including one evening per week on Evening Outreach and the rest of the time to spend investing in women who we have got to know through our outreach but have not yet made the step into support from our daytime team. We have seen success from this investment and an increase in daytime visits from women we previously only saw on our Evening Outreach. This has been hugely exciting for us as an organisation as it’s always been an aspiration to shorten the gap between women meeting us on outreach to then accessing daytime support.

Other things to celebrate this year have been a much more intentional shift towards more co-production and inclusion of those with lived experience. This has included having an ex-service user on our interview panels which was introduced in November 2023. And we have also recruited two members who previously accessed support with us onto our volunteer team; they are thriving in this role and it’s been great to see them using their own skills and life experience to support those who are still in need of support.

We have also begun some significant pieces of work with other partner agencies this year; a testament to our standing and reputation among other services in Leeds. Most significantly, we have been part of the partnership involved in making Leeds a “MEAM approach city” (Making Every Adult Matter); an initiative to help local areas design and deliver better coordinated services for people experiencing multiple disadvantage. It’s currently being used by partnerships of statutory and voluntary agencies in 50 local areas across England. We had our partnership interview in August 2024 and found out we had been successful in September; a significant achievement not just for us but for our city, and something we are proud to be part of.

We have continued to work on achieving the Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark which all staff and Trustees signed up to in 2023. We welcomed a new Director in March 2025 and go into the next financial year with eight members of staff and seven Trustees.

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 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.

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.

Notes to the accounts

for the year ended 31 December 2024

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, if 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 £1000 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.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

1 Accounting policies

Basis of accounting

Going concern

The trustees are satisfied that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Incoming resources

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

Taxation

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets costing more than £1000 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.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the accounts.

Leases

Rents under operating leases are charged on a straight line basis over the lease term or to an earlier date if the lease can be determined without financial penalty.

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 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 12.

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').

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.
