Charity 1144805 – Company No. 07775753** ## **Objectives and Activities** The objective of Kingston Women’s Centre (KWC) as stated in its governing document is “to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of goods or services of any kind, including the provision of counselling and support to women in such parts of Kingston, the United Kingdom and the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit”. An affordable counselling service is offered for up to 2 years with some shorter term work also provided. Kingston Women’s Centre offers a unique opportunity for those benefitting from longer term therapy as many similar services offer short therapy only. The service is available to women; aged over 18 years, inclusive of all abilities, ethnicities, and cultures. Our service benefits not only the health and wellbeing of all women, but also those of their families and wider relationships. The Board of Trustees continue to have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. KWC continues to provide an important role to the community by working with universities and other education establishments to provide clinical placement opportunities for counsellors in training The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## **Achievements** Kingston Women’s Centre (KWC) continues to provide the only low-cost, long-term counselling service for women in Kingston upon Thames and the surrounding area. Our mission is to offer counselling and therapy for women of all backgrounds within a warm, safe, and caring environment. Run by women for women, KWC provides a confidential space where women can explore experiences that may be difficult, confusing, or painful without fear of judgement. Many of the women we support present with complex and deeprooted issues. This year has been one of change, consolidation, and growth, with a strong focus on strengthening service delivery, improving infrastructure, and responding to sustained demand. We are pleased to welcome new trustees Jay, Jo, Tee, Tori and Miranda to the Board. Together, they bring a wide range of skills and experience, creating a strong and well-balanced Board to support the governance of KWC. Their collective expertise spans clinical practice, governance, the voluntary sector, finance, human resources, marketing and communications, business and fundraising. Three key strategic objectives have been agreed to guide KWC’s development: - Maintaining the quality and impact of the counselling offer - Ensuring appropriate resourcing (staffing, supervision, and communications) - • Strengthening financial sustainability and funding levels Demand for counselling has remained high. During the year, KWC worked with an average of 46 placement counsellors, enabling us to maintain a capacity of approximately 100 counselling sessions per week. Around 139 women accessed counselling during the year. We continue to invest in the training and development of our placement counsellors, including well-attended workshops on Adult Survivors of Sexual Abuse, Ending the Therapeutic Relationship, Meet Your Creative Self and Trauma Informed Practice. KWC is also offering these training opportunities to external organisations, generating additional income while enabling us to share our expertise more widely. Our outcomes remain strong. CORE-10 data shows that of the 37 clients who completed counselling this year, 94.5% demonstrated improvement in their scores. Feedback from women using our services consistently highlights the importance of accessible, one-to-one counselling in reducing isolation, improving confidence, and strengthening mental wellbeing. 4 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE** **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **Reg. Charity 1144805 – Company No. 7775753** In response to a clearly identified need within the community, we have launched a free counselling offer. Many women who seek support from KWC are unable to access statutory or private counselling due to cost barriers or long waiting lists, placing them at risk of reaching crisis point without timely intervention. This initiative removes financial barriers and enables women who would otherwise be unable to afford therapy to access support. By providing free counselling for 12 weeks, we are able to intervene earlier, helping to prevent escalation, improve wellbeing, and reduce pressure on local health and social care services. Through this support, women are better able to reduce isolation, rebuild confidence and resilience, and strengthen their mental health. The programme has been supported by external funding, including £2,000 from the Magdalen Trust and £2,000 from the London Borough of Kingston community grant. We will continue to actively seek funding to sustain and expand this provision, ensuring that more women can access free counselling in the future. A new CRM system (Pabau) has been implemented during the year, representing a significant step forward in strengthening our operational infrastructure. The system has improved the efficiency and consistency of client management, enhanced data collection and reporting, and supported better communication across the organisation. This enables more robust monitoring of service delivery and outcomes, while also reducing administrative burden and supporting a more streamlined experience for both clients and staff. ## **Financial Review** The charity remains in stable financial health. Income is primarily derived from client fees, supplemented by room rentals and training activity. - Total income: £126,101 - Total expenditure: £135,084 - Surplus/(deficit): (£8,983) ## **Reserves** The charity carries no debt and maintains reserves appropriate to its size and operational needs. Total reserves (including restricted funds) currently stand at £72,201, equivalent to approximately six months’ running costs. Free reserves as represented by unrestricted net current assets currently stand at £68,586. The reserves policy is reviewed annually, and takes into account organisational development, planned projects, and financial risk. ## **Plans for the future** Long-term plans remain in place to explore the conversion of the derelict garage space to expand therapeutic and community provision. This project is still at an early stage and is dependent on planning permission. ## **Structure, governance and management** ## The Board of Trustees Our Board continues to bring financial, business, legal, clinical and human resources as well as experience of being Trustees from other mental health Charities. All Trustees have received external training through Trust Advice around their responsibilities of being a Trustee, and they have all received an induction at KWC. The Trustees continue to work hard, collaboratively, with shared aims and a common ethos. 5 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE** **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **Reg. Charity 1144805 – Company No. 7775753** We would like to thank our trustees, staff, supervisors, assessors and counsellors for their continued commitment and professionalism. Particular thanks are due to the Centre Manager and Administrator for their invaluable contribution throughout the year, which has been central to the effective running of the organisation. Together, the work of everyone at KWC makes a meaningful and lasting difference to the lives of the women who attend the Centre. ## **Reference and administrative details** Kingston Women's Centre Charity registration number 1144805 Company registration number 7775753 Registered office address: 169 Canbury Park Road, Kingston, Surrey, KT2 6LG Trustees: Frances Kearns (resigned 14 October 2024) Sophie Adam Keisha Delpeshe Grainne Sweeting Jayita Biswas (appointed 11 October 2024) Josephine Weinberger (appointed 24 October 2024, resigned 18 July 2025) Miranda Ayra (appointed 25 July 2025) Teresa Robins (appointed 10 August 2025) Victoria Monks (appointed 1 October 2025) 6 (A COMPANY LIMITED BY 6UARAPITEEI REPORT OFTHE DIRECTO FOR ThE YEAR EP4DED 30Th SEvfEPIBER 2015 kingstonwomen's centre statemert of Dlrertor'• r*•pDn•lbllltle•: The Charityes Art and the Companies Art rtquit the &>ard of Tru#ees to prepafe fin￿r￿￿ siarements fvr finandal year g1ve a true and falr of the stare ot affa￿￿ of the tharity as at the end of the flnaKki year the surw4u5 or defKit of the ctrk3rity.

Djreoty Tn .2026 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **Basis of preparation:** 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) - Charities SORP (FRS102)) and incorporating update bulletin 1, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The functional currency of the charity is sterling (£). The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP. The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories. No material prior year errors have been identified in the reporting period. Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. ## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** The particular accounting policies adopted are set out below. ## **Income** ## **Recognition of Income** These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: - the charity becomes entitled to the income; - it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. ## **Offsetting** There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. ## **Grants and Donations** Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). ## **Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. ## **Gifts in Kind** Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. ## **Legacies** Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. ## **Government Grants** The charity has received government grants totalling £2,000 in the reporting period. ## **Donated goods** Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 10 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE** ## **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **Donated Services and Facilities** Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. ## **Volunteer Help** The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Directors' annual report. ## **Income from interest, royalties and dividends** This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. ## **Investment Gains and Losses** This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year. ## **Insurance claims** Insurance claims are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP) and are included as an item of other income in the SoFA. ## **Income from membership subscriptions** Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in Donations and Legacies. Membership subscriptions which gives a member the right to buy services or other benefits are recognised as income earned from the provision of goods and services as income from charitable activities. ## **Expenditure and liabilities** ## **Liability Recognition** Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. ## **Governance and Support Costs** Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. ## **Employee benefits** Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received. ## **Redundancy cost** The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period. ## **Deferred income** No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. ## **Creditors** The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. ## **Provisions for liabilities** A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date ## **Legal status of the charity** The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. ## **Stocks and work in progress** Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or net realisable value. ## **Debtors** Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 11 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **Fixed Assets** Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity: These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. Freehold premises were previously held at cost. The Trustees obtained a valuation on 10th March 2021 from Zoopla, a well known online property portal website, which generated an estimate of £700,000 at that date. Based on their knowledge of the local property market, the Trustees believe that this valuation would have been at a similar level as at 30th September 2020 and have therefore used the value of £700,000 in these financial statements. Fixed assets are depreciated at a rate appropriate to their useful economic life, as shown below: |Office Furniture and Equipment

The terms are believed to have been that the grant was repayable if the society (as it then was) ceased to exist, hence the grant is shown as an ongoing liability in the charity accounts. 12 ## **KINGSTON WOMEN'S CENTRE (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH SEPTEMBER 2025** ## **4.

0| |---|---|---| The payments shown above represent professional services rendered to the charity. These payments to Trustees are permitted under clause 7 of the charity governing document. Note that Carey Khan is Centre Manager and was also appointed as Company Secretary on 25 July 2025. Carey Khan is considered a related party by virtue of their role as key management personnel. Only payments made to them from their date of appointment are disclosed above and these payments represent services rendered as Centre Manager, which is their substantive role, with minor administrative tasks carried out relating to the company secretetarial role. Apart from reimbursement of purchases made on behalf of the charity which totalled £0 in this financial year (2024/23: £4.99), the Trustees confirm that no other payments were made to Trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No material transaction took place between the organisation and a Trustee or any person connected with them. ## **12. RISK ASSESSMENT** The Trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The Trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. ## **13. RESERVES POLICY** The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily. ## **14. PUBLIC BENEFIT** The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 15 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** ## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT** As the charity’s trustees of Kingston Women's Centre (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”). Having satisfied myself that the accounts are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that: - accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or - the accounts do not accord with such records; or - the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or - the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102). 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.
