Activities:

To promote and run Mutual Support Groups

Our support groups are designed for people who suffer from substance abuse such as alcohol, drugs, etc. Additionally, we invite people who have problems with gambling and other behavioural addictions. We also run a group for women. This is a support group with a broad spectrum. Some women live or have lived in a relationship with a person suffering from an addiction or their lives have become complicated for some reason now or in the past. All our groups are run in Polish.

Psychological Counselling and Development Centre

One of our missions is to support the creation of valuable social enterprises. The Psychological Counselling and Development Centre - Yellow Scarf Support (Ośrodek Terapii i Rozwoju - Yellow Scarf Support) is one project that we support. It operates based on providing top-quality services at a reasonable price. The team consists of advisors who are properly educated with high qualifications and who work to the highest standards.

Events

Yellow Scarf CIO organizes various activities such as bicycle trips, family picnics, mountain trips, etc. We also participate in co-organizing events such as Doughnuts Day, Talk to My Worcester. We also organize film screenings about recovery. All our activities are aimed at promoting an addiction-free life.

Support the hobbies

Discovering, cultivating, and developing hobbies are very important for our health and life. That is why the project "People with passion" was created. They were started by people who have discovered and are discovering their passions. Passions that allow them to develop and discover happiness around them. Passions that they want to share to give joy to others.

Organize trainings, workshops and courses

For many years, our support has consisted of running Mutual Support Groups and One to one meetings, but the increasing number of enquiries about extending the assistance offered made us think about extending our service. In 2020 we decided to extend our service to include courses and workshops. We take great care to ensure that our workshops are provided professionally.

Christmas Supper

Easter and Christmas are special times for us all. Every year since 2011 we have been organizing Christmas Supper and Easter Brunch in Evesham. Every year, more and more people participate in our celebration. Thanks to the help of All Saints Parish Church, Evesham can use the Church House and the church itself.

Free assistance with application for EUSS Support

In 2019, together with the European Connections Forum. We started to help residents from the European Union to apply for Settlement Status. This is not our mainstream service but seeing that many people have been in a difficult situation and deprived of any help, we could not pass by indifferently. That's why we obtained a license from the Home Office for our volunteers and started to help the most vulnerable people. We believe that an uncertain legal situation can have unimaginable consequences in life, so we try to counteract this.

Achievements And Performance:

Due to the Covid -19 pandemic, we have had to adapt our charity work to the new conditions. Our actions consisted of introducing online activities and telephone meetings.

Our activities are aimed at protecting participants from the dangers of the pandemic.

We have also taken new steps to help protect mental health in response to new threats from changes in the UK and around the world.

Financial Review:

Our focus this year has been to strengthen and consolidate our financial position. Despite the pandemic and additional costs, this and Brexit attracted, we further strengthened our position. We have monitored our costs closely to ensure that we continued to meet our charitable objective as well as strengthen our position for the future.

For the year ended 31/07/2022 we had an income over expenditure surplus of £ 847.00, which will be carried forward to next year to further found our projects and achieve our objectives.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Yellow Scarf CIO for the year ended 31 July 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and the related notes.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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

I have completed my examination. I can 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:

• the accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

• the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

• the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

• Other expenditure These are support costs not allocated to a particular activity.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

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

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity 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.

Yellow Scarf CIO Notes to the Accounts

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
