Aurora New Dawn Ltd

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Our Vision

Our vision is to empower survivors of stalking, domestic abuse and sexual violence through protection, safety and support and to promote and uphold human rights

Our organisational aims are to:

As a registered charity, our formal charity objects ("the objects") are:

  1. The relief of adults, children and young people who are subjected to, or who are at risk of being subjected to or affected by domestic abuse, including coercive and controlling behaviour, and or, sexual abuse, violence, stalking and harassment, in particular but not exclusively by providing information, advice and other support services.

  2. The advancement of education and training for the public benefit in the issues surrounding domestic abuse, including coercive and controlling behaviour, sexual abuse, violence, stalking and harassment.

We will do this by providing direct services that include one to one work, advocacy and group support; working in partnership with other organisations (statutory and voluntary); providing training and education across agencies; promoting an equal opportunities ethos throughout the organisation and working jointly with organisations holding a similar ethos to Aurora New Dawn.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

Our Headline Values:

Aurora is committed to:

Our board of trustees monitors the achievements and measures success of the charity's outputs via our quarterly board meetings. The reports are presented to the trustees by the senior management team who take responsibility for ensuring the outputs and outcomes of each project and income sources is appropriately spent and monitored.

Over the year the staff team was maintained at approximately 15 members, although we are a small charity this enabled each project to be adequately resourced and meet the aims and objectives set out in both our governance documents and through each of our funding agreements.

Public benefit

The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 and given regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

Background to the organisation

We believe that violence against women and hidden violence are both the causes and consequences of gender inequality and that ending violence is central to achieving a world where no one is limited by their sex or by gender stereotypes.

Aurora New Dawn (Aurora) was founded in 2011 and was created in direct response to public sector cuts threatening service provision to victims and survivors of violence and abuse.

From the very beginning, victims and survivors were - and remain - our central priority. Because of this, our roots are found in feminist advocacy and activism, which question dominant cultural assumptions about gender, stereotypes about men and women, and the inevitability of violence.

Aurora New Dawn became a registered charity in August 2013. We have made significant developments over this year and continue to grow and diversify our business to ensure we reach as many victims and survivors as possible and offer services and support to them at the time they need it most.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

STRATEGIC REPORT

Achievement and performance

This year we continued to deliver our core areas of service and particularly expanded our reach for victims within the armed forces.

Thanks to our partnerships with large institutions like Police Forces and the Armed Forces we were able to work with our colleagues in these organisations to contribute to significant learning and inform strategy at senior level to ensure that victims of domestic abuse, sexual violence and stalking are prioritised in responses.

The cost-of-living crisis had a significant impact on both our beneficiaries and on the charitable sector as a whole, we have worked hard to sustain our services over the year.

During 2023/24 we began to work hard not to solely rely on grants and contracts and continue to increase our income generation through training and domestic homicide review work. This means we can not only contribute to systematic change for victim/survivors but in addition raise income to provide more sustainable services for them.

Financial review

Financial position

During the year we received donations totalling £11,491, a slight reduction from the prior year.

Grant income received in the year increased to £715,673 from £587,350 in the prior year.

Aurora holds a robust financial controls policy - all accounting and finances are routinely reviewed by the board of trustees quarterly. Any ad hoc items that arise outside the quarterly board meetings are dealt with by the Treasurer and Chair.

The board of trustees and the CEO also review the risk register every six months to accommodate any adverse events and ensure the financial governance of the organisation is transparent and appropriate.

Reserves policy

Aurora aims to hold no less than three months of reserves at the end of each financial year.

Our business strategy, set out in 2023 to aim for six months reserves. These figures are held in line with the charities commission guidance and to ensure the safe exit of any close down of services for our beneficiaries.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees delegate the day to day management of the charity to the CEO, Dr Shonagh Dillon LLB DCrimJ.

This year (2023/24) we continued to work with our new structure and aims of generating self-sustaining income as the pressures on public finances continue to grow.

The board of trustees said goodbye to one of our trustees who has been with us since inception. We thank her for all her support and wish her well. We also lost our long standing chair who had also been with us since the start, and I am proud to have taken over from her, she leaves a strong legacy and we thank her for all her hard work. Our meetings continue to be held virtually and we intend to change our governance structures to reflect this in 2024.

I will once again make mention of the hard work and commitment the whole team, in supporting victims and survivors. I recognise how difficult the current climate is, and how hard the team work to ensure our services maintain the high standard victims deserve.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Aurora New Dawn Ltd

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Aurora New Dawn Ltd ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors 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 of the Company are not required to be audited 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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 March 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

Costs that are directly attributable to a fund are allocated in full to that fund. Overheads are apportioned across the funds based on the level of resource expended on that fund.

Core costs are also allocated across the funds based on a percentage of the grant income received.

Intangible assets

Database costs are amortised over their useful life of three years.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 33% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
