Chair’s Report

Welcome to our third annual report since we became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation in September 2019. This year has proved to be an interesting year for us as we have expanded our team from 8 to 11. We are fortunate to be able to continue to provide services throughout the year.

Our Board has seen a number of changes where Ingrid Abercrombie, Diane Stratulis and Sarah Tupling all resigned from the Board at different times in the year. I would like to thank them for their hard work and commitment they have given to Deaf-initely Women.

I am very proud of the work that all staff have done and continue to achieve. We continue to support deaf women through a range of gender specific services that are not available elsewhere in the UK. We listen to them and their struggles for acceptance and respect in society. We continue to offer a range of services in getting our organisation known within the deaf and hearing worlds in our fight for acceptance and gaining rights as deaf women.

I am sorry to see Janet Mellor leaving us last year for personal reasons but pleased that she remains in contact with us.

Following Janet’s departure, we also saw Molly O’Brien leaving us for a new job in the disability research sector. Thank you Janet and Molly for your hard work and support.

I wish them both all the best for the future.

I would like to welcome Becky Daykin and Veronica Stewart who joined us in October 2021 working on the Social Connector project in ensuring isolated deaf women are getting support across Derby and Derbyshire. They have recruited and trained 11 deaf women as social connectors – all working together in ensuring no deaf woman is left isolated.

Sarah Tupling also joined us as a Peer Coach working for Derby Deaf Living Well service ensuring that many deaf women are getting support in managing their mental health. Welcome Sarah!

I would like to thank all volunteers for their support in the past 12 months. All have helped out in our activities. Also, thanks to all Board members for their hard work, commitment and unwavering support. I would also like to thank all staff and volunteers for their support in striving to achieve outcomes and outputs for our peers.

Managing Director’s report

We are growing!

The last 12 months has seen changes within our staffing team in response to new funding that came online during the past 12 months. It has been and still is exciting for us all as we meet and greet new faces whether they are staff, volunteers, freelance workers or customers.

We have undertaken more Partnership working with deaf charities in the provision of training and networking.

We are moving towards accrediting our services so that we are recognised for providing quality services thus assuring our funders that we are a credible organisation who takes matters seriously. This should help our funding in future years.

We are grateful to our funders who provided us financial assistance and support in the provision of a wide range of much needed services for deaf women:

1.3 Charitable Funds

YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31[st] 2022

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31[st] 2022

1. Accounting policies

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:

Group information

Deaf-Initely Women’s registered office is Room 57, Strutts Community Centre, Derby Road, Belper, DE56 1UU. At the end of the year there were 8 trustees.

1.1 Accounting convention

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102, “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it apples from 1 January 2015. The group is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The accounts are prepared in Sterling which is the functional currency of the group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared on historical cost convention apart from freehold property that is carried at market value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

These are accounts for the year ended 31 January 2022 are prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 April 2015. The impact on the reported financial position and financial performance for the previous year are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the committee have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Committee continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.

1.3 Charitable Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the committee in furtherance of the general objectives of the group.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the committee for particular purposes.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.

1.4 Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the SOFA when the group is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gifts in kind have been included at market value of gifts received and in assets acquired. No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

DEAF-INITELY WOMEN

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED JANUARY 31[st] 2022

1.5 Resources expended

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs relating to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources. Fund-raising costs are those incurred in seeking voluntary contributions and do not include the costs of disseminating information in the support of the charitable activities.

1.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discounts offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

1.7 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other shortterm liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.8 Creditors and provisions

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the group has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1.9 Financial instruments

The group has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.10 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the year in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the group is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.11 Taxation

The group is exempt from tax on income and gains falling with section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or section 252 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects.
