Methods used to appoint and recruit new charity trustees
These have not changed in the past year and are as follows: An important objective of Apna Haq is to have service users represented on our board, as is reflected by our service user involvement policy. Also, for our board to be made of diverse community backgrounds. Due to these reasons our board recruitment is done through word of mouth, and suggestions by existing board members as well as the staff team, and women from the communities putting themselves forward. Once someone is identified as having potentially suitable experiences, or they contact Apna Haq, they are given information on Apna Haq’s work and asked to meet up with our CEO. A 2-way dialogue takes place where the CEO can ascertain how well the potential candidate may fit with Apna Haq values ethos and ways of working. The work Apna Haq does is shared by sharing past AGM reports and other strategic documentation. This information is then given to the board and staff members for their views on the suitability of the candidate. Potential interested trustees once vetted by the board and staff team are asked to fill in a Trustee application form detailing their interest and experience in wanting to become a trustee. Once the application is received back, this is considered at a board meeting, a decision is taken to offer the person a position or they may be turned down by the existing board.
Newly recruited Trustees undergo an induction process. They attend an induction meeting that introduces them to the work of Apna Haq and the duties and person specification of the role. Policies such as safeguarding, equalities and conflict of interest are shared. Induction includes:
Vision statement I Mission I Values I business plan I Trustees annual report and accounts I Role description and Trustee Code of Conduct) Extracts from funding bids strength-based review
Achievements and Performance
Although we have had restricted resources coming in, we have continued to deliver a high-quality service, which enables women and girls from global majority communities within Rotherham to live their lives free from violence and abuse. This year we have supported 148 women and 346 children. We have offered 49 advice and consult sessions to women/community members as well as professionals. This means that we have enabled just over 500 women and children to feel safer and escape violence and abuse.
We have undertaken Strategic work to strengthen the organisation in a few different ways, which has been made possible with the support of different funders: funding from Rosa, consultant to co submit funding bids. alongside holding a Seminar with funders (a first for Apna Haq) on Apna Haq work on sexual exploitation and child abuse. A subsequent report on our work around sexual violence support to young women and girls is being prepared as a follow to this seminar. To showcase and highlight the work Apna Haq undertakes in this field, aim being to create a better understanding among funders of the issues and needs of areas of work which currently are not seen, understood or then funded appropriately, leading to a change in future funding practices.
Apna Haq continues to be a sector leader Consultant on developing new board members induction pack which ensures that the experiences of service user board members are centered within it. We will be copy writing this piece of work.
Having undertaken an internal board membership reflection and future development, we have begun recruiting new directors. Ensuring that the experiences and voices of women with lived experiences are centered within this, we have undertaken a comprehensive recruitment process that brings new women to our board with service user experience as well as a broad range of other experience's such including Finance and legal background.
We have continued in our vein of delivering services and forging new partnerships to enable a wider range of support being able to be offered to our service users. Flux, Wenworth Woodhouse, this has included building on our offer of opportunities in the natural environments for service users who otherwise would never have access to such opportunities. Examples include the residential through the Landmark Trust and the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and the CunliffeLister family through whom, we were able to enable a group of our service users some with children to take part in a 2 night glamping residential, alongside these 2 partners we were able to draw on the funding from the GMSP foundation to cover all of the costs for both of these activities.
Continuing to focus on our future sustainability; alongside our funding strategy and funding applications, we are continuing to gain work, which is spot purchased through Rotherham social services, who are recognising the expertise we have as an organisation in being able to offer and support women on child abuse and sexual exploitation issues.

Achievements and Performance
We continue to be a strategic voice within Rotherham and South Yorkshire as well as nationally, through our CEO and staff team contributing to the Rotherham domestic and sexual strategic group, South Yorkshire violence reduction Unit and National women's aid being some examples. We continue to build on and bring into fruition our ambitious strategic sustainability plans: which this year includes our gaining of a Catalytic grant, which will support us, to look into the viability of us being able to purchase our own buildings to be able to offer on rent to service users etc. , enabling us to have an income stream which is not reliant on grant funding.
We remain grateful to both of our consultants Rosy Lewis and Fiona Sheil who have given additional time and resource to our organisation alongside their paid commitments, as they value and understand the work we do. We would like to Thank our range of funders, Rosa for strategic strengthening work we have been able to do, the SY PCC and Big Give for the delivery of the front line work, GMSP for the health and well-being activities undertaken by staff and service users and their children and the Caring Foundation for the girls and young women's post, and Lloyds foundation for their unrestricted funding which enables us to survive, and finally The National Lottery Community Fund for support with ongoing core costs.
Future Plans
We are in the process through our funding consultant developing our funding strategy and then putting in as many funding bids as we can to ensure that we are able to secure sufficient resources to maintain the level of support and advocacy and strategic level work that we are carrying out now. We will also be looking to recruit new directors, once we have compiled the areas that the board would like the strategic direction of our work to take.
Investment policy
The charitable company's investment powers are set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association and allows the company to invest funds not immediately required in investments, securities and property, subject to such conditions as may be required by law.
Reserves policy
We are still building our unrestricted reserves as we are wanting to reach the position detailed below:
-
to provide a level of working capital that protects the continuity of our core work in the event of not being able to secure funding.
-
to have 3 months salaries in the event of not gaining new funding to enable continuity of core work.
-
to have capital that will cover the cost of redundancy payments for eligible staff members
-
to provide a level of funding for unexpected opportunities
-
to provide cover for risks such as unforeseen expenditure or unanticipated loss of income.
Statement of Directors and Trustees' responsibilities
preparing the Trustees' Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charitable company and the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
-
charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and of the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Apna Haq Limited Independent Examiners report to the Trustees (Directors) for the year ended 31st March 2025
I report on the accounts of the Apna Haq Limited for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 6 to 13.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006;
-
- the accounts do not accord with such records:
-
where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102)
-
any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
