## **Future Plans** 

The charity aims to continue with its activities long term for the benefit of the community. 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined the operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks. 

## **Reserves policy**

## **Trustee's Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2024** 


## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees have a duty to comply with Section 17 of The Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit.

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in undertaking the public benefit duty. 

## **Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Charities Act require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus of the charity for that period.  In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Review of Charitable activities for the year ended 31 March 2024** 


## **Background** 

Z's Defence Academy, a BAME women-led charity based in Blackburn, focuses on engaging, educating, and empowering women to overcome significant barriers and lead fulfilling lives. The organisation offers a range of activities including self-defence, martial arts, outdoor pursuits, educational workshops, and access to blue/green spaces, along with holistic wellbeing programs addressing physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. Notably, the Academy has collaborated with the NHS and other organisations to support women with longterm health conditions, particularly from ethnic minority groups, through unique initiatives such as menopause-related sessions. Recognised for its proactive and person-centered approach, Z Defence Academy has been awarded multiple awards and continues to positively impact the community through its diverse and inclusive programs. 

## **Project and Activity Updates** 


After conducting a questionnaire’s in the Audley area, there has been a significant demand for self-defence courses. The focus is to support the most vulnerable women in the community, particularly those dealing with mental health issues or any form of abuse. 

## Project Plan 

Target Audience: Vulnerable women and girls in the Audley community. Courses: Six cohorts of self-defence courses. Participants: Aiming to support 100 women and girls. Collaboration and Success 

Z's Defence Academy has a strong history of collaboration with various local organisations, including Lancashire police. A notable project at Humraaz was highly successful, receiving excellent feedback from the chief constable. 

## **Participants: 100 Outcome: Complete** 

## **Muslim Sports Foundation** 


The self-defence sessions initiated by Z Defence Academy in Blackburn have been in high demand, addressing issues such as isolation and loneliness among vulnerable women, especially those affected by lockdowns. These sessions not only improve physical conditioning and reflexes but also empower women, aiding those who have experienced domestic abuse, violence, and adverse childhood experiences. The project, run by women for women, showcases the power of female empowerment and aims to foster a supportive community. The need for such sessions is urgent, given the continuous abuse women face, and the cultural barriers that need to be broken to support these vulnerable individuals.

## **Million Hour Fund** 

The proposed project aims to advance education and training in educational, physical activity for young girls aged 11 to 18 in Blackburn, addressing isolation and anti-social behaviour. We aim to run mainly during the summer holidays, it targets disadvantaged areas where young people cannot afford such activities. The project includes physical activity, education, and nature therapy to help girls become more confident, resilient, and socially engaged. It builds on successful collaborations with Lancashire Constabulary and similar adult projects, engaging participants through social media, emails, and local partnerships. Led by young girls and supported by culturally sensitive female volunteers, this community-led initiative provides a safe space for developing life skills and independence. Extensive consultations ensure the project meets community needs, aiming to reduce crime and foster a healthier, more positive life for participants.

## **BBC Children in Need** 


Z’s Defence Academy, a community-based organisation for women and girls in East Lancashire, helps young females overcome barriers to lead active and fulfilling lives. Offering a mix of physical sports, outdoor pursuits, self-defence, martial arts, and self-development, the Academy builds self-confidence, motivation, and essential life skills. The volunteer-led Academy focuses on disadvantaged areas, ensuring accessibility for young girls. Over the next year, the Academy plans to reach over 150 girls aged 10-18, emphasising personal safety, education, and health/wellbeing. Through extensive community consultations and social media engagement, the project meets local needs while promoting youth social action and leadership, making it well-placed to inspire and support young females. 

**Participants: 150 Outcome: ongoing** 


## **Active Lancashire** 


During COVID-19, our questionnaires revealed that women wanted to participate in physical activities and outdoor pursuits but were deterred by fear of going alone, lack of companionship, and uncertainty about how to book. Initially, we offered only self-defence sessions, but based on community feedback, we have expanded our services to include a variety of activities, making us the only charity in Blackburn providing such diverse options for women. This adjustment helps us cater to culturally conservative families and aims to break cultural stigmas while promoting diversity in outdoor activities.

Our sessions provide clear health benefits, enhancing physical fitness, cardio health, strength, flexibility, and stamina, alongside teaching importance of accessing nature spaces. They also significantly improve mental health, boosting self-confidence and reducing social anxieties. Participants benefit from a supportive group environment where they can make friends, build social networks, and develop lasting habits of regular physical activity. This support is crucial for women from deprived backgrounds and those overcoming adverse childhood experiences (ACEs).

## **NHS co-production** 

Transform4Life aims to tackle health issues among women aged 40-60 in Blackburn's most deprived areas by targeting inactive women with 60-minute sessions designed to improve heart and circulatory health, reduce high BMI, and manage Type 2 Diabetes. Addressing prevalent issues such as obesity, low confidence, anxiety, depression, loneliness, and body image problems identified through questionnaires, the project seeks to alleviate NHS pressure by preventing health problems from worsening. Offering activities like nutrition advice, diabetes education, yoga, meditation, and walking, the program will operate from community centres and grassroots buildings with support from freelance instructors. Over 12 weeks, it will deliver four sessions a week, aiming to improve fitness, strength, resilience, sociability, and body image while reducing depression and fostering new friendships, ultimately decreasing NHS service demands.

We plan to recruit instructors to deliver various weekly physical activities across various locations. Research indicates that a 12-week program can significantly improve health outcomes. We aim to offer three 12-week programs annually, targeting 10 women per activity, reaching 1,440 participants over 36 weeks. Post-program, we will sustain activities by offering two weekly sessions for a minimal fee, supported by volunteers.

## **Youth Hostels Association** 


This preventative project aims to educate the community on leading healthy, positive lives through outdoor activities, addressing the increased vulnerability and long-term health risks exacerbated by recent challenges. Our initiative can be quickly and effectively implemented, targeting hundreds of people facing uncertain futures and long-standing health issues. Complementing existing local provisions, our project fills a crucial gap by offering group walking and hiking days tailored to individual needs. These female-only activities promote safety, socialisation, reduced isolation, and healthy relationships. By helping the community connect, improve confidence, and enhance well-being, especially after months of lockdown, our area-based solution leverages volunteers' local knowledge to tackle inequalities and foster involvement.

Our charity aims to support young girls and women in Blackburn by enhancing their physical, mental, and emotional well-being through a transformation programme. This initiative includes fitness sessions, self-defence, nutrition education, life coaching, and 1-1 counselling, particularly targeting those in deprived areas who are inactive or struggling with poor health. The high demand for these programs was evident from our recent "Together We Grow" event. Led by female leaders in accessible community venues, the project will engage 75 women, removing barriers to participation by providing transport if needed. Activities focus on building confidence, mental resilience, and social connections, helping women overcome anxiety and improve their physical health. By fostering supportive networks and addressing mental health issues through life coaching and counselling, the programme promotes long-term positive changes and aims to reduce NHS reliance.

The "Weighing In-clusion" aims to engage and integrate South Asian women in East Lancashire's most deprived areas to combat obesity, diabetes, heart disease, depression, and mental health issues.

The project seeks funding to run female-only health, well-being, and engagement workshops to build selfconfidence, self-esteem, and empowerment. By fostering strong relationships among women with similar experiences and consulting over 600 women and mainstream agencies, the project ensures a deep understanding of their needs. Through grassroots community engagement and continuous feedback, the initiative addresses serious issues like mental health problems and domestic violence, helping women access necessary support and preventing them from becoming a forgotten community.

**Z's Defence Academy Charity Reference Number:1194054 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

The Charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard No 1 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued in March 2005 and the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Recognition of incoming resources** 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Incoming resources with related expenditure** 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the coming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. 

## **Grants and donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has been given notification of entitlement is received and the amount receivable can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are in included in the SoFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

## **Gift in kind** 

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. 

## **Donated services and facilities** 

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. 

## **Volunteer help** 

The value of any voluntary help 

## **Resources expended** 

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related 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. 

13 



**Z's Defence Academy Charity Reference Number:1194054 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Tangible  fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:- 

Plant and machinery 

25% 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date. 

## **Creditors** 

Creditors and provision are measured and accounted for in accordance with usually accepted accruals principles. 

## **Taxation** 

As a registered charity, the organisation is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applied towards the charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.
