## **Objects and activities of the charity** 

## _**The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.**_ 

To advance in life and relieve needs of young women and girls who have been adversely affected by criminal exploitation and violence associated with gangs and county lines through exposure to violence, crime, sexual exploitation or otherwise, in particular by: 

- 1)  providing such young women with one-to-one and contextual safeguarding services, which increase safety, skills, self-advocacy and agency; 

- 2)  providing training and consultancy to professionals who support such young women; 

- 3)  supporting young women to bring about the changes they want in their lives and to influence policy and practice which affects them. 

## _**The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year and to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.**_ 

In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, including the guidance ‘public benefit: running a charity (PB2). The company works to benefit young women who are at risk of, or are affected by criminal exploitation and violence in the UK. 

The trustees have considered this matter and concluded: 

1.  that the aims of the organisation continue to be charitable; 

2.  that the aims and the work done give identifiable benefits to the charitable sector and both indirectly and directly to individuals in need; 

3.  that the benefits are for the public, are not unreasonably restricted in any way and certainly not by ability to pay; and 

4.  that there is no detriment or harm arising from the aims or activities.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## _**The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year and the difference these have made to the beneficiaries of the charity and benefitted wider society.**_ 

This year's Trustee report marks the end of the first year of Abianda’s current three year strategic period. It is also the first Trustee report following Abianda gaining charitable status. 

Over the past 11 years, Abi Billinghurst (founder and CEO) and the Board have led the organisation through significant growth and successes, as well as the global traumas and movements that have reverberated though, and deeply affected, individuals, communities and organisations. 

As a small organisation that works at close proximity to trauma, Abianda (like many other organisations) has faced challenges in the context of these external events. The strain on infrastructure and our people has, at times, been significant. It has been essential then, for the current strategic period to be one of reflection, rebuilding and actively disrupting the tendency for organisations such as ours to be in ‘fire flight’ mode.  Our three year strategy sees us make the courageous and deliberate decision to scale back our activity by reducing pan-London direct work with young women and girls for a period of time, in order to focus on a process of much needed recovery and rebuild, to become a resilient and robust organisation for young women into the future. 

One year into the strategic period, we are making great strides across all of our six strategic objectives, the team is aligned in values and our collective goals, and we have the capacity to lean into large transformation projects that have been long needed. We continue to work directly with young women and girls through a range of activities, all of which are developing positively and creating impact in young women's lives. 

## **Strategic objectives:** 

1. To increase the quality of Abianda’s focused support to girls and young women, and develop a model of practice that is rooted in a robust evidence base of what works for them. 

2. To reinstate our participatory principles in practice – ensuring that young women are embedded in the organisation and influencing policy and service design. 

3. To produce evidence of the impact of our model of practice, in order to support the future roll out of services and growth. 

4. To strengthen Abianda’s structure and systems to allow for safe services and sustainable growth. 

5. To devise and secure sustainable routes to independent income enabling short- and longer-term quality and impact, and so that we have sufficient unrestricted funds to support a resourced and resilient infrastructure 

6. To plan for future growth beyond 2027, from an organisation that is fit for purpose and can deliver transformational opportunities for girls and young women and institutions.

## **Our charitable activities** 

Over the past year the Abianda team has been working hard to ensure that all of Abianda’s activities are delivered to the highest possible standards, and that our collective efforts are working towards the development of young women's independence and agency. 

Our activities are designed to interact, not only with young women and girls directly, but with the spaces, systems and structures around them, ensuring they better centre her voice and create safety for her. We seek ecological change in spaces, systems and structures, rather than a total dependency on behavioural change from the individual young woman. This year the breadth of our activities have been rearticulated in a new Practice Framework (see diagram below), clearly illustrating how our activities support our charitable aims. 

In total we have engaged 124 young women and girls across our activities over the past year, and trained almost 1000 professionals nationally. A summary of our activities are below.

## The Star project 

The Star Project is Abianda's flagship one-to-one service. It is a structured programme of activity and advocacy, focusing on knowledge and skills development for young women and girls aged 13-25. 

Rooted in Abianda's Pillars of Practice, The Star Project supports young women towards increased critical thinking, independence, agency and knowledge of criminal exploitation and violence. We aim for young women and girls to feel knowledgeable and skilled to: 

- master their relationships, such are the important roles that they play in their lives. 

- navigate systems, spaces and relationships safely and healthily 

- able to advocate for her rights and needs and, as much as possible, get what she needs from them 

- understand what might increase safety for her and help her reach her desired outcomes 

The Star Project is delivered in Islington, as part of a multi-disciplinary partnership. Over the past year we have seen 31 young women and girls referred into the service, representing more than 100% increase in referrals from the previous year. We think this is due to us broadening the age range to work with girls as young as 13. 

We are very grateful to the Triangle Trust for their generous support in funding the Star Project for two years. We are working closely with Islington colleagues to redefine partnership arrangements as we review and rearticulate our practice framework and activities and prepare for roll-out of our complete offer. 

## Group work: 

Our group work is a structured programme of activities that is designed for young women and girls aged 13-25 who are at risk of, or have, experienced criminal exploitation. 

Harnessing the power of group dynamics and learning, young women develop a collective and new narrative about their (and others) experiences that moves away from the pathologising individual experience, and towards a collective experience of the gendered and intersectional experiences of girls and young women. 

Young women benefit from understanding experiences not just from an individual perspective, but through shared and collective experiences, to grow an ecological view. Young women and girls benefit from the power of peer validation, networks and support. 

Our group work is currently delivered pan-London in schools and community settings. Over the past year we have been lucky to work with brilliant partners such as New Horizons Youth Centre, The Running Charity and Arsenal in the Community, reaching 96 young women and girls. 

We are grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund that supports the delivery of our group work panLondon, and to Islington Council who support us to deliver the work in schools and the community in their borough.

## Young Women's Advisory Group (YWAG) and Lived Experience Team Members 

Over the past year five young women have been consistent members of our Young Women's Advisory Group. 

YWAG is at the heart of Abianda. A group of young women aged 18 - 25 with lived experience of the issues we address, who work alongside the Abianda’s team, board and stakeholders in a paid capacity.  As well as a growing portfolio of external systems change work, the YWAG ensures that the voices and lived experiences of the young women we work with inform, direct and validate our content, the strategic priorities of the organisation and the services we deliver to achieve our priorities. Most importantly, we offer meaningful, professional opportunities where they are advancing their own skills, knowledge and agency. 

Over the past year we have worked hard to re-instate our participatory practice and principles in the infrastructure of the organisation. We have further developed young women's pathways to decision making and increased opportunities for them to be involved in internal and external influence. 

A member of the YWAG took part in research carried out by ListenUp and Missing People around the Experiences of Black Missing Children. YWAG members were interviwed by the Alliance for Youth Justice for their work on Young People in Transition in the Criminal Justice System (expect a blog post about this soon!) and fed back their views on Abianda's Safeguarding Policy. 

The YWAG members have written reflections about their time at Abianda, a few snippets of feedback from them: 

“Being part of…the YWAG has been an incredibly empowering experience; what stands out is how much our voices are genuinely heard and valued…Our perspectives are not just acknowledged—they’re actively sought after and incorporated into the organisation’s work. This sense of being truly heard, rather than being tokenised or sidelined, is something I’ve found completely unique to Abianda.” 

“I’ve definitely gained a lot of confidence and now feel more able to use my voice in professional settings. I also feel like I’ve built good working relationships with people both inside and outside the YWAG which has also been really positive.” 

“Hearing about the vision the team has, seeing them cut back and scale things down and fixate on their priorities has been very informing and there’s always a focus on providing the best support for young women and girls as well as the staff at Abianda that strive towards that goal. We’ve had opportunities to provide input and that has helped me discover the importance of my voice. “ 

You can also see and hear some further feedback from the YWAG on the YWAG section of the website, which they contributed for advertising the YWAG, so that young women looking at the advert understood their experiences of being in the YWAG - https://www.abianda.com/ywag

## Elevate 

A five day programme to skill up young women in order that they can participate in decisions that affect their lives, and meaningfully take part in lived experience work in an emotionally and psychologically safe way. This is a crucial part of the induction process for young women joining the YWAG in order that they can do lived experience work safely, maintaining their own boundaries and ensure that Abianda is doing no harm in inviting them to be team members in this way. 

Elevate has been under development over the past year and we are really pleased to have begun the rollout of this new CPD accredited programme to our YWAG. 

## Internship: 

Abianda’s Intern Programme offers a one year fixed term employment opportunity for one young woman who has been affected by issues of criminal exploitation and violence. The Admin and Office Internship focuses on developing work based skills across: admin, internal and external communications, organisation and office management, IT, planning, diary management, website and social media. 

Over the past year we launched this newly developed and more robust opportunity and our first Intern has been in post for 6 months.  She is a highly valued member of the team and is settling in well. She has been involved in recruitment of YWAG members and Trustees; supporting our sales function and the development of our training programmes; working closely with the CEO on diary management and partner relations; partner/external comms; research and development for Abianda’s lived experience policy; and, a range of operational tasks and activities. 

Most recently she has been working on launching the Abianda Insider - a podcast series owned and led by the Intern, exploring issues relevant to our work through the eyes of a young woman for an audience of young people. Recent feedback for the Intern has included: 

“The reason why the Internship is such a good opportunity, is it is not just one thing, such as just being a participation internship, it’s also operations and I can find out about different parts of a charity and what is the best fit for me. 

I am pleased to see that when faced with a challenge like presenting in a team meeting, I was able to overcome that challenge because one, I was given the opportunity to be an intern and I feel someone without qualifications, you would not see yourself in this position and being able to have a space where you can present and people want to hear what you have to say. 

I am looking forward to seeing what opportunities arise after I have finished this internship and it will be nice to know that other young women will have this opportunity in the future.” 

We are grateful to the National Lottery Community Fund for their generous funding that supports YWAG, Elevate, group work delivery and our Intern programme.

## Influence and Policy Development: 

As part of Abianda’s efforts to influence internal and external systems change in a more coordinated way we now engage Senior Lived Experience members (SLETM). SLETM can pathway out of the YWAG and into consultant work. Or they may engage with us independently and through partners and wider network development. These are typically young women who are more experienced at doing Lived Experience Consultancy. Their involvement has included advising on the development of our training programmes, interviewing new Trustees, and external research on children's experience of criminal exploitation and their transition to adulthood. 

Other work the wider team have been involved in as part of our systems change efforts have been: 

- Sitting on LB Islington Youth Justice Advisory Board and VAWG Strategic Board; 

- sitting on the National Contextual Safeguarding Advisory Board - led by University of Durham - We participated in Agenda Alliance's roundtable meeting on girls' exclusion from education, highlighting how exclusions uniquely affect young women and girls who have experienced criminal exploitation. - We presented at the Youth Justice Board's webinar, speaking about how young women are made invisible through data and how young people's participation is a fundamental aspect of safeguarding them. 

- We represented for YJB and NCB on safeguarding young women and girls in the criminal justice system - We joined other women's charities at the Media Trust's Women's Voices Conference to connect with experts on communication, with a view to spread awareness on the issues of criminal exploitation. 

- We presented at London Youth’s Violence Affecting Young People Network event 

- We took part in The Alliance for Youth Justice focus groups on child criminal exploitation and the transition into adulthood. 

- We met with senior leaders from London Adolescent Safeguarding Oversight Board (LASOB) to share aspirations and concerns regarding the Safer Streets government mission and its potential impact on young people in London. for policymakers. 

## Training 

As a result of securing investment from Fredericks Foundation and Thrive Together, we have been able to propel our activities in developing our training content and begin the work to increase the sales and reach of our training programmes to a national audience. Our training programmes are essential tools in our efforts to raise awareness of young women and girls’ experiences of criminal exploitation and violence, and to bring about a change in culture and practice when responding to them. Sales of our training also bring in much needed unrestricted revenue.

While sales have been low over the year while we have worked internally on reviewing and developing our programmes, we are really pleased that this crucial foundation work is now complete. Our one, two and three day training programmes have been developed and piloted, with the final pilots for our three-day programme completing by the end of July 25.   Feedback has been positive. Overall the new formats have received a rating of 4.6 out of 5, and 97% of attendees stated the training was applicable to their job / work.  98% would recommend it to others. 

Through our training and conference events we have reached almost 1000 professionals nationally. Delegates have spanned policing social work, youth sector, health, education and the voluntary sector. 

## Other organisational developments 

We continue to see developments across all of our six strategic objectives. Including: - Progress of redefining our Practice Framework and how we articulate our work. This is essential development in ensuring our work with and for girls and young women is evidence based. We have rearticulated the four pillars of our practice being: ecological, participatory contextual and solution focused. It is brilliant to see the alignment across the whole team as a result of this re-articulation, and we look forward to rolling out the full breadth of our activities, as detailed in the Practice Framework, in Islington in the coming year. 

- Progress on the development of our new monitoring and evaluation framework, with a clearly defined theory co-created by the team and young women, a set of none outcomes to guide our work and support our efforts to evidence impact; 

- With kind financial support from Esmee Fairbairn, we achieved charitable status for Abianda, moving from a not for profit company limited by guarantee, to a charitable company with limited liability. This is a brilliant achievement. Being accountable to the Charity Commission and our Trustees, serves to future-proof Abianda, and charitable status means we will have greater access to grant and philanthropic funding streams. - Significant development across infrastructure and policy work - strengthening the scaffolding of the organisation and creating clarity and stability for our team and ensuring we have robust governance processes in place. 

- We have begun the process of recruiting for new Trustees. Following a skills gap anal;ysis we are clear on the expertise we need to see us though this strategic period and into the future, we are excited to bring new members to the group and to maintain the diversity of thought and identity in our Trustee group. - We have begun the work to re-design the operating structure of Abianda, with the first stage being to reinstate a Senior Leadership Team. This has provided much greater clarity and ownership of our strategic objectives.

## **Financial review** 

## _**The charity's financial position at the end of the year ended 31 March 2025**_ 

The financial position of the charity at 31 March 2025 and comparatives for the prior period, as more fully detailed in the accounts, can be summarised as follows:- 

|Restricted Revenue Funds<br>**Total Funds**<br>Unrestricted Revenue Funds available for the<br>general purposes of the charity<br>**Net income**|**2025**<br>**£**<br>(86,617)<br>113,737<br>87,898<br>201,635|**2024**<br>**£**<br>108,829<br>104,704<br>183,548<br>288,252|
|---|---|---|



## _**Financial review of the position at the reporting date, 31 March 2025**_ 

Given the difficult external circumstances, the trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to be satisfactory. 

During the year the company changed from a non-for profit entity to a formally registered charity.  The registration was issued by the Charity Commission on 10th December 2024. As a result, these accounts have been prepared applying charity accounting standards and the prior year figures have been amended to. This resulted in adjustments to the prior year with income increasing by £89,338 and reserves increased by £186,801. 

As noted in the previous section, the charity made a conscious decision to consider the strategic priorities. This results in the decision to reduce pan-London work and subsequently  resulted in a drop in income in the year to £434,552 compared to prior year £937,784, expenditure also dropped from £828,955 to £521,169 resulting in a deficit of £86,617. 

## _**Policies on reserves**_ 

The charity aims to hold three months of salaries and core costs as reserves.  The target reserves would be £117,114 based on the budget for 2025-26.  Unrestricted reserves at 31 March 2025 were £113,737. 

The charity will continue to build reserves in line with the charity’s reserves policy. As most of the charity’s funds are to be spent in the short term there are currently no funds available for long-term investment. Investment income earned during the year relates to interest on the charity’s bank account.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 17 to 37 for the year ended 31 March 2025 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP),  published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 22. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report** 

As described on page 13, you, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view. 

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of  Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:- 

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act; 

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken** 

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000, the charitable company's examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am an authorised member of CIPFA, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. 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 setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination.  An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company  and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide 

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. 

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

## **Abi Billinghurst & Associates (t/a Abianda)** 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion** 

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:- 

The accounts of this charitable company  are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006; 

The gross income of the charitable company in the year ended 31 March 2025 appears to exceed the sum specified in Section 145(3)  of the Act, namely £250000, and that I am qualified to act as Independent Examiner in accordance with that section by virtue of my being a qualified member of CIPFA; 

This  is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act  and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable; 

and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:- 

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011; 

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 accounts set out in section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; 

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP). 

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.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## _**Policies relating to the production of the accounts.**_ 

## **Basis of preparation and accounting convention** 

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities)  2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP),  in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. 

## **Going Concern** 

The charitable activities are entirely dependent on continuing grant aid and voluntary donations as well as trading revenues. As a consequence, the going concern basis is dependent on the future flow of these uncertain funding streams. Accordingly, the Trustees have obtained forecasts and, after reviewing the financial forecasts for future periods to 31 March 2026, the Trustees are satisfied that, at the time of approving the financial statements, it is  appropriate  to adopt the going concern  basis  in preparing  the financial statements. Other than these matters, the Trustees are not aware of any material uncertainites about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The unrestricted reserves are in line with the  reserves target, the charity is working to secure a good level of income for 2025-26 and has a positive cash flow. As a result the Trustees are confident that the charity has adequate resources to operate for the foreseeable future. 

## **Changes in accounting policies and the basis of accounting estimates since prior periods** 

During the year Abianda registered as a charity on 11th December 2024.  These accounts have been prepared based on the Charities SORP and therefore, the comparative figures have been adjusted.  The adjustments relate to the treatment of income, recognising grant income the basis set out below.  This resulted in £89,338 additional income in the year to 31 March 2024 which is held in restricted funds at that date. Reserves increased by £186,801 at 31 March 2024 which included income adjustment in the year to 31 March 2023. 

## **Risks and future assumptions** 

The charity is a public benefit entity. 

## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_ 

## **Nature of income** 

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers. 

## **Categories of Income** 

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income. 

22 



## **Abi Billinghurst & Associates (t/a Abianda)** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

**Income from exchange transactions** is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser. 

**Income from a non-exchange transaction** is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange. 

## **Income recognition** 

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably. 

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. 

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met. 

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs. 

## **Accounting for deferred income and income received in advance** 

Where terms and conditions relating to income have not been met or uncertainty exists as to whether the charity can meet any terms or conditions otherwise within its control, income is not recognised but is deferred as a liability until it is probable that the terms or conditions imposed can be met. 

Any grant that is subject to performance-related conditions received in advance of delivering the goods and services required by that condition, or is subject to unmet conditions wholly outside the control of the recipient charity, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. Deferred income is released to income in the reporting period in which the performance-related or other conditions that limit recognition are met. 

When income from a grant or donation has not been recognised due to the conditions applying to the gift not being wholly within the control of the recipient charity, it is disclosed as a contingent asset if receipt of the grant or donation is probable once those conditions are met. 

Where time related conditions are imposed or implied by a funder, then the income is apportioned to the time periods concerned, and, where applicable, is accounted for as a liability and shown on the balance sheet as deferred income. When grants are received in advance of the expenditure on the activity funded by them, but there are no specific time related conditions, then the income is not deferred. 

Any condition that allows for the recovery by the donor of any unexpended part of a grant does not prevent recognition of the income concerned, but a liability to any repayment is recognised when repayment becomes probable. 

## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_ 

## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure** 

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.. 

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the  obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

## **Abi Billinghurst & Associates (t/a Abianda)** 

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025** 

## _**Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.**_ 

## **Debtors** 

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

## **Creditors and provisions** 

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. 

## **Financial instruments including cash and bank balances** 

Bank balances, whether in credit or overdrawn,  are shown at the amounts properly reconciled to the bank statements. 

## **Pensions - defined contribution schemes** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme.  Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

There are no designated funds. 

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

There are no endowment funds. 

## **2 Liability to taxation** 

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific 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. 

## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity** 

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity. 

## **4 Significance of financial instruments to the charity's position** 

There are no significant implications of such matters.
