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** 

In June 2023, we celebrated WomenZone's 20th anniversary, reflecting on the impactful projects and services delivered to empower local women. Over the past two decades, our organisation has made significant strides towards achieving our goals of supporting women and their families to improve health, wellbeing, education, skills, and access to employment - all with the aim of helping them achieve greater independence. Despite the challenges of securing funding, our dedicated team has risen to the occasion, delivering remarkable results. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and perseverance. We are led by women experiencing racial inequality. 100% of our team are from South Asian and other minoritised communities.

## Trustees' report (continued) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Achievements and performance continued** 

In the period from April 2023 to March 2024, WomenZone has served the following number of attendees: 

## **Financial review** 

The net expenditure for the year was £16,868, including net income of £722 on unrestricted funds and net expenditure of £17,590 on restricted funds, after transfers. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity's free reserves, excluding fixed assets, at the year end were £399,233. 

Included within this balance, the trustees have designated £250,000 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 cost of living pressures 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 2024/2025 financial year reserves equivalent to between six and fourteen month's running costs should be maintained.  This is between £238,200 and £555,900, based on budgeted 2024/2025 expenditure.  As noted above actual reserves are currently £399,233. 

## **Funds or subsidiary undertakings materially in deficit** 

At 31 March 2024 three funds had deficit balances - BDMC Art & Culture (£3,072), BBC Children in Need (£2,213) and National Citizen Service Trust (£13,205).  Note 4 to the accounts provides further information concerning these accounts.  These deficit balances have been cleared since the 31 March 2024 following the receipt of further grant funding support. 

Approved by the board of trustees on 11/12/2024

## 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 2024, which are set out on pages 6 to 14. 

## **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 fellow 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 fellow of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies. 

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. 

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.
