(b) a copy of the CIO’s latest Trustees’ Annual Report and statement of accounts.

Governing Document

The organisation is a constituted community organization and is governed by its Constitution adopted on

1[st] /September/2020

Membership

Full Membership of AWI UK is open to all constituted women community organisations in West Midlands. Only Full Members have the right to vote at Annual or Special General Meetings. Each women community organisation constitutes a single member of AWI UK and nominates a representative to vote on its behalf at any Annual General Meeting or any other Special General Meetings of the membership, including the election of the Management Committee.

Recruitment and Appointment of Management Committee

The charity trustees for the purposes of charity law are known as members of the Management Committee. Under the requirements of the Constitution the members of the Management Committee are elected to serve for a period of one year and are elected at the Annual General Meeting. The trustees are elected from the women communities that AWI UK serves. The Management Committee seeks to ensure that the needs of the women communities are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. New member organisations are sought throughout the network to increase engagement and the diverse candidacy of the Management Committee.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity, trustees 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

Use of volunteers

AWI UK makes significant use of volunteers to carry out its work. Volunteers are involved in all aspects of the work, including youth work, education, facilities management finance and administration.

Policies for induction and training

All volunteers receive a systematic and comprehensive induction to the charity and its work, allowing them to develop a good understanding of the requirements of the role and to settle in with confidence. All volunteers are given appropriate opportunities to develop their skills and knowledge to carry out their roles effectively.

Organisation Structure

AWI UK’s Board members are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the group including deciding on how the funds of the group are to be spent. The full Board met four times during the year (in a space of 3 months before next meeting). Given its wide responsibilities, the Board has a number of committees which meet between full meetings with each dealing with a particular aspect of the organisation’s life, as detailed below.

- 4 -

Risk Management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

On at least an annual basis the Board of AWI UK has considered and discussed the key risks facing the group, the controls in place to mitigate them and any action required. AWI UK continues to review and develop the strategic direction of the group and considers how its exposure to risk changes as a result.

Objective and activities

Drawn from its charitable objects, AWI UK has the following key organisational goals:

Women Matters (Women-2-Women Support) (Information, Advice and Guidance on Education, Training and Employment)

We provide advice, guidance and counselling in confidence to African refugee women. We enable any African woman lone parent and divorcee to have all the tools and support they require in order to be full participants in society, with access to the widest range of education, health, employment, and cultural opportunities. We do this at AWI UK office and on an outreach basis.

We offer advice on:

Through the provision of a safe women-only environment to offer women who are isolated by disadvantage a starting point from which to achieve personal development and improved economic stability.

Through individual assessment and a personal plan, to encourage women to use resources available to them at AWI UK and in the community to secure measurable improvements in their functioning, self-confidence and self-esteem.

To work co-operatively with relevant organisations dealing with disadvantaged women and their needs, in order to share expertise and jointly improve effective use and delivery of women-sensitive services.

To develop a sustainable organisation from a financial, resource, expertise, cutting edge, role model and planning perspective

To measure, demonstrate and publicise the effectiveness of the AWI UK activities

To influence the provision of women-sensitive services by local organisations and statutory services.

Public Benefit

The main beneficiaries of the work of AWI UK are African women asylum seekers and refugees throughout Walsall but, through our advice work, we also help migrant workers. African women and girls Asylum seekers and refugees benefit directly from our advice and health advocacy projects, through the Refugee and Migrants Forum, and more indirectly through our Community Development work. The direct benefits of advice and advocacy include the relief of poverty through income maximisation, money advice and help with debts, finding accommodation for homeless people, and ensuring that people can get the health care they need. Our services are all free of charge and benefit many who are poor or destitute. The Refugee and Migrants Forum empowers the people who take part in its activities by enhancing their skills, their knowledge, and their self-confidence. It also benefits asylum seekers more widely through its campaigning and awareness-raising work on issues such as the right to work. Our community development work benefits not only those directly involved in running the refugee community organisations we work with, but through enabling those organizations to operate more effectively, this work benefits all the members of those communities. In all our work we seek to empower people so that they gain understanding and confidence to manage their own lives and affairs and to participate more actively both in their own communities and in wider society.

Achievement and performance

- 5 -

The Over 65+ basic I.T. support group

The Over 65+ basic I.T. support group has profoundly influenced our community, bringing about numerous positive outcomes. Thanks to this initiative, service users have acquired essential I.T and computer skills, leading to a rise in social networking use among internet users aged 65 and older in our community, ultimately reducing social isolation. The achievements of the project are remarkable, with 100% of participants expressing that they have successfully learned how to use a computer or laptop. Additionally, 80% of participants have gained the ability to open and send emails, while an

impressive 75% of participants can now send and receive texts on different social media applications.

Support for Young Refugees with Mental Health

In June 2023, African Women Impact UK received funding from The Souter Charitable Trust to support our "Support for Young Refugees with Mental Health" project. This initiative focused on assisting 20 disadvantaged BME refugee youth struggling with mental health issues.

Impact of the Project:

- 6 -

The EmpowerHER project

The EmpowerHER project provided energy efficiency solutions and education to 30 disadvantaged BME single-parent women living in fuel poverty. The project successfully reduced participants' monthly energy bills by an average of 30%, significantly alleviating financial stress. Additionally, 80% of

participants demonstrated improved energy management skills through workshops and personalized support, enabling them to maintain these savings long-term. The installation of energy-saving equipment enhanced home comfort, while the knowledge gained empowered participants to sustain energy-efficient practices, leading to lasting financial stability and improved quality of life.

Drop-in for Advice & Support: Our drop-in service has experienced a notable increase in users seeking assistance, particularly for financial help. We provided advice and support across a range

of critical areas, including education, employment, domestic violence, mental health, housing, and financial management.

The rise in demand reflects the growing challenges faced by individuals in our community, especially those who are marginalized or in vulnerable situations. Many users sought help navigating complex issues such as securing employment, accessing education opportunities, and finding stable housing. Others required urgent support to escape domestic violence or to manage mental health concerns exacerbated by economic stress.

Our team offered personalized guidance, helping users understand their rights, access available resources, and make informed decisions. The financial advice provided was particularly crucial, assisting individuals with budgeting, debt management, and applying for benefits or financial aid.

Around 100 service users utilized our dropin services, benefiting from the holistic support we offered. This service not only addressed immediate concerns but also empowered individuals to build more stable and secure futures. The increased use of our services highlights the essential role we play in supporting the community through challenging times.

How we are hoping to raise the funds in the future

We are currently writing to a range of charitable trusts to make applications for varying sums of money to support different elements of the organization’s work, but this process is slow and also highly competitive. AWI UK has also developed a fundraising plan to look at diversifying our income streams. We are planning more events and are planning to develop our website to encourage donations online.

Brief statement of the charity's policy on reserves

It is AWI UK’s policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time.

It is our policy to invest our main funds balances in the group’s bank account. At the beginning of a new financial year, the accumulated unrestricted balance on income and expenditure at the end of each financial year is always used to pursue activities as defined in our Constitution.

Ms Cecilia Machozi Chairperson

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO Year ended 31 August 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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.

General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 52, VICARAGE PLACE, WALSALL, WEST MIDLANDS, WS1 3NA, UNITED KINGDOM.

2. Magic little grant: General cost

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through

- 11 -

the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.

- 12 -

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.

For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.

Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.

Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.

Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.

Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.

For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

- 13 -

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
