Public benefit statement

In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular the advancement of education and improvement of health and access to services for women living in areas of highest deprivation and health inequalities.

Achievements and performance

Womenzone launched its ‘Womenzone Digital Wellbeing Service’ (WDWS) in direct response to the COVID19 pandemic. It is now widely known that people from BAME backgrounds face greater risks of experiencing challenges and difficulties because of COVID-19. As many of our beneficiaries are South Asian women, beneficiaries and their families are likely to be adversely impacted by the pandemic. With the support of local volunteers, Womenzone identified the needs of local people by consulting with current beneficiaries about their current needs through telephone conversations.

In acknowledgement of this need, Womenzone developed WDWS to offer support and advice around mental and emotional wellbeing; culturally sensitive food parcels and hot meals; clothes donation and wellbeing packs; activity packs for children; digital activities like “Chai and a Chat” and ESOL; online exercise classes on Zoom and loss/grief/trauma support; COVID19 updates in community languages; and signposting to specialist services.

Womenzone had a team of volunteers with remarkable community spirit who were willing to support the most vulnerable families in our community during the pandemic.

We have been helping to tackle social isolation as many of our service users were required to self-isolate for 12 weeks as of 20th March 2020. Our staff have been in contact with them via telephone and online methods i.e. ZOOM sessions.

We have been successfully managing the Womenzone Digital Wellbeing Service to allow members of the public to contact a member of staff or volunteer if they need advice, support or signposting.

We have been very active on social media, i.e. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram with positive messages shared by our volunteers, staff and service users. We have shared a number of short videos within the community on how to stay happy, safe and healthy whilst self-isolating/social distancing during lockdown.

Objectives and activities

Achievements and performance continued

Womenzone has developed The Play Gym and Hubert St Kitchen to support our work with local families from the Better Start Bradford (Bowling and Barkerend, Bradford Moor and Little Horton) area. We aim to support expectant families and families with children under the age of 4 to improve their lives and give them the best possible start in life. We will do this by addressing one or more of the following themes: Social and emotional development; Language and communication; Health and nutrition.

Financial review

The net income for the year was £234,822, including net income of £161,174 on unrestricted funds and net income of £73,648 on restricted funds, after transfers.

Reserves policy

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £274,925.

The trustees have designated £150,000 of these free reserves to a building fund.

Womenzone's reserve policy is to maintain a level of reserves that enables operating activities to be maintained, taking account of potential risks and contingencies that may arise from time to time. The policy will be reviewed annually by the trustees of the Charity.

Womenzone will maintain unrestricted reserves to provide cover for:

l Known liabilities such as salaries, redundancy and office costs.
l Unforeseen liabilities.
l To continue funding core activities, in case of loss of a funding stream.
l To manage organisational cash flow in the short term.
l To invest in growth and development.

In light of the uncertainty existing around the impact of Covid 19 on future income flows and the desire to make improvements to the community centre the trustees have reviewed the reserves policy and have decided that for the 2021/22 financial year reserves equivalent to between six and fourteen month's running costs should be maintained. This is between £121,650 and £283,850, based on budgeted 2021/2022 expenditure. As noted above actual reserves are currently £275,152.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of WomenZone

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.

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

Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACA which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I have identified a matter of concern in relation to the allocation of expenses to restricted funds which indicates accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.

It has come to my attention that, due to errors in the allocation of expenses, two restricted funds have been reported as having had additional expenditure, totalling £32,872, in the year ending 31 March 2021. This error has been discussed with the funders and revised balances at 31 March 2021 have been agreed, which are reported in these accounts. I am satisfied that this error was not deliberate and that trustees have now put in place systems to ensure that a similar error would not be repeated.

I confirm that, other than the above, 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 confirm that there are 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.

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

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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of WomenZone

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.

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

Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACA which is one of the listed bodies.

I confirm that, other than the above, 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 confirm that there are 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.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of WomenZone

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 6 to 15.

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

Since the CIO's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of ACA which is one of the listed bodies.

I confirm that, other than the above, 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 confirm that there are 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.
