3. Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

AWI UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by its Constitution adopted on 1 September 2020.

Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are elected annually at the AGM to serve a three-year term.
Trustees are selected based on relevant skills, knowledge and community representation to ensure effective administration.
All new trustees are provided with:
A copy of the current constitution
The latest Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statement

Membership

Full Membership is open to constituted women’s community organisations in the West Midlands. Each organisation nominates a representative to vote on its behalf during AGMs or special meetings, including trustee elections.

Management Committee

Trustees form the Management Committee and are elected from among the organisations we serve. The board strives for diverse representation aligned with the needs of the community. Recruitment is ongoing throughout the network to enhance inclusive governance.

Organisational Structure

The Board is responsible for strategic decisions and financial oversight.
The Board met four times during the year.
Subcommittees support workstreams such as safeguarding, fundraising, and volunteer management.

Risk Management

The Board regularly identifies, reviews and mitigates risks. An annual risk review ensures appropriate policies and internal controls are in place to protect the charity from fraud, reputational risk and financial mismanagement.

4. Objectives and Activities

Strategic Objectives

Empower African refugee and migrant women to overcome social, cultural and economic barriers.
Provide free advice, training, and guidance services tailored to women's and young people's needs.

Promote digital inclusion, economic empowerment, mental health, and housing support.
Collaborate with partners to expand community influence and increase access to public services.

Core Programmes

Women Matters (Women-2-Women Support)
Young Refugee Support and Mental Health Services
Energy Efficiency and Cost-of-Living Assistance
Over-65s Social and Digital Inclusion Projects
Youth Dance, Mentoring & Workforce Readiness Initiatives

Public Benefit

In line with Charity Commission guidance, AWI UK provides significant public benefit through its services to:

Asylum seekers and refugees (mainly African women and their families)
Migrant workers
Disadvantaged BME youth and older women

These services are provided free of charge and include housing support, income maximisation, access to education and employment, and health advocacy. Our community development work also enhances the capacity of refugee-led organisations, thus amplifying impact across the region.

Achievements and Performance in 2024/2025

Case Study: Rebuilding Confidence Through Technology

"I hadn’t touched a computer before. Now I can send emails to my grandson and even join our family WhatsApp group. I feel more connected and less lonely." — Esther, 71, participant in the Over-65 IT Support Group

This illustrates the powerful impact of AWI UK's digital inclusion work, which builds confidence, connection and digital literacy.

6. Use of Volunteers

AWI UK is proud to be supported by a dedicated team of 6 active volunteers. Their contributions totalled approximately 2,150 hours in 2024/2025, estimated at a value of £28,000. Volunteers support:

Youth mentoring and engagement

Advice and outreach services
Admin and finance support

Volunteer Induction and Training

All volunteers:

Undergo structured induction covering policies, safeguarding and role expectations
Are supported through regular supervision and skills-based training sessions

7. Learning and Challenges

Funding delays affected timelines, particularly for new programmes; mitigated via front-loading of volunteer training and planning.
Increased service demand required strategic prioritisation and recruitment of additional volunteers.
Digital exclusion continues to impact older BME women; AWI UK will maintain a focus on in-person tech education sessions.

8. Partnership Working

Strategic partnerships were central to AWI UK’s impact in 2024/2025:

Walsall Public Health : Co-delivered wellbeing and nutrition sessions
Local schools/youth services : Identification and referral for mentoring projects
Walsall Community Network : Training, networking, and referral collaborations

9. Future Plans for 2025/2026

Expand Over-65 IT Group to reach 30 more women
Launch a bilingual employment support programme for newly arrived refugees
Scale the youth mentoring and dance programme
Pilot a refugee-led peer education project on health, housing and rights
Pursue core funding for staffing and sustainability of existing services

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO

Year ended 31 August 2025

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 2025.

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:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
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
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.

Cecilia Machozi Chairperson

The notes on pages 10 to 20 form part of these financial statements.

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.

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.

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.

AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2025

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

3. Accounting policies (continued) 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:

income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

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:

expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

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.

~~3. Accounting policies~~ ~~(continued)~~

AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2025

Tangible assets (continued)

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.

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 cashgenerating 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.

3. Accounting policies (continued)

Financial instruments (continued)

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.

AFRICAN WOMEN IMPACT UK CIO

Company Limited by Guarantee

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

Year ended 31 August 2025

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.
