**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021**
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The Company is a charity and promotes awareness through various educational techniques of the harmful effects associated with the misuse of **alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling.**
The core work of this Charity is to raise awareness in a factual and non-judgemental way of the health risks and consequences associated with the misuse of **alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling** . Our motto is: **'Promoting Healthy Lifestyles'** .
The charity has continued to apply its income effectively regarding education work with children and young people, and the wider community.
The charity has a Development Officer covering the West Midlands. There are two part-time Development Assistants working alongside the Development Officer, updating, and designing new resources for use within educational establishments, the wider community and inclusion on the website.
In addition, the administration team consists of three members of administration staff and an Archivist/Researcher.
Through the core services of Health Stands and the Community Health Project, the charity works with local schools, colleges, libraries, pharmacies, and other establishments.
An extensive range of age-appropriate literature is available to download from the website. The literature is developed and updated by our staff, printed 'in-house', and is used in conjunction with the services provided. Resources, including the website, and other social media platforms, are helpful tools in providing information about the charity and the issues surrounding the four core topics.
The website is regularly updated 'in house' with information, advice, and blogs.
## **Statement of Public Benefit**
The Trustees of the Charity have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on "public benefit" when exercising powers under the Charity's objects and our main activities and who we aim to help are described above. All our charitable activities focus on our mission to raise awareness of the effects of **alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling** . All activities are undertaken to further our charitable purposes for the public benefit.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
## **Health Stands:**
These are delivered by the Development Officer and her assistant. Together they visit local schools, colleges, etc to raise awareness into the issues associated with the four core topics, **drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling.** These events are extremely popular, and feedback is positive. A minimal charge is made for this service to cover costs incurred.
**Health Stands** are ideal for freshers' weeks, health fairs or as a one-off event to raise awareness of a particular issue or national campaign such as Dry January, Stoptober, Road Safety Week, etc. The **Health Stands** are an excellent way of engaging with a larger audience in a more informal approach.
A variety of informative display boards and a range of resources are used to enhance the delivery of the **Health Stand** . Free informative literature is also available for visitors to take away. Staff are 'on-hand' to answer any questions and share advice which encourages healthy lifestyles.
## **Unfortunately, due of Covid-19 restrictions the charity has been unable to deliver Health Stands for the majority of 2021.**
## **Community Health Project:**
This project was set up in 2012 and continues to be very successful. Regular bookings for the display boards have continued to increase significantly with libraries, schools, colleges, pharmacies and GP surgeries, and other establishments now signed up to the Project.
The **Community Health Project** is a free service offered within the West Midlands area and display boards are delivered each month to those who have signed up to the Project. The information on each display board is also available as A3 posters; these are available to be posted out, together with any literature, which is particularly useful for those outside of the West Midlands area or if space is limited. Information and resources can also be downloaded free from the website, or alternatively arrangements can be made for the display boards to be collected from the office.
The purpose of providing this service is to empower people with the knowledge to make decisions about their wellbeing and lifestyle. This is achieved by presenting the display boards in a non-judgemental way. Each display board is designed and printed in-house. The administration team work together to prepare the display boards ready for delivery. All display boards promote the charity and provide contact information, including website and social media accounts.
The charity actively promotes national campaigns, such as **Dry January, No Smoking Day, Road Safety Week, Stoptober, Alcohol Awareness Week.**
Display boards and literature are also available to order for specific topics, including **Loot Boxes, Cannabis, Peer Pressure, Driving Under the Influence, Festival Safety, etc.** Display boards and literature are regularly updated.
## **Consultations:**
During 2021 our Development Officer has taken part in various consultations, including:
- The Government's Women's Heath Strategy
- Alcohol Health Alliance Parliamentary launch 'No Escape' - How Alcohol Marketing Preys on Children and
- Vulnerable People report

## **Archives:**
During the year, the charity's Archivist made excellent progress continuing to work with the Archive Project. This involves cataloguing and re-organising the charity's historic records, which date back to the late 1800s.
**Enquiries:** The Archivist continues to receive several enquiries each month relating to the charity's history. She has undertaken extensive research and responded accordingly to all enquiries received.
**Promotional:** The Archivist continues to promote the history of the charity through various methods, including the website.
The 'Archives/History' section of the website is regularly updated and has an extensive amount of information regarding the history of the charity, including other temperance organisations. Regular blogs are also added to the website.
The Archivist is also available to attend events to share information about the history of the charity and the archives held.
**Visits to the archives are welcomed. Unfortunately, in 2021 due to Covid-19 restrictions it has not been possible to allow visitors into the building.**
## **Website:**
Our website continues to be managed 'in-house' and is updated regularly with latest news, resources, blogs, social media posts.
## **Social Media:**
This is managed by our development team and is an invaluable link with like-minded organisations, members of the public and other interested parties. It is a good opportunity to promote our work, including local and national health campaigns.
## **Future Developments:**

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Investment policy and objectives**
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the charity has the power to make any investments, which the trustees see fit.
The trustees' investment policy precludes any direct investment in alcohol or tobacco related companies. These funds have been invested on the advice of the investment broker, UBS, with the stipulation that a proportion of the funds are invested in fixed interest securities to reduce its exposure to fluctuation in share prices.
## **Financial review**
The operations for the year resulted in a net incoming funds of £894,498 (2020: outgoing funds £39,767 ). The net gains/(losses) on investments for the year was gain of £945,328 (2020: gain of £12,929).
## **Reserves policy**
At the year end, the charity had total reserves of £9,737,820 all of which were unrestricted and available for expenditure or future designations by the trustees. Following the sale of a property in London in November 2004, the charity's reserves have increased significantly. Part of the reserves has been applied to house the administration headquarters in Solihull, which we opened in September 2006.
Expenditure on charitable activities has increased to £287,856 (2020: £251,026) during the current year and the trustees are considering the levels of reserves that are required to meet longer term projects. To fund ongoing projects, the charity receives income from its investments and is also registered to receive Gift Aid on its donations and membership subscriptions. In the current economic climate the return on investments is subject to fluctuation and this can affect the charity's level of reserves.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The organisation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee, incorporated on 27 August 1951 and registered as a charity on 10 January 1963. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association.
Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as members of the Committee of Management.
When a vacancy occurs on the Board a person specification is prepared, based on the particular skills which are required at the time to contribute to the charity's management and development. Potential trustees are sometimes suggested by members of the Board of Trustees, or may be found by other means of recruitment.
All trustees must be members of this charity and the White Ribbon Association Inc (registered company number 39177).
## **Organisational structure**
The Committee of Management currently consists of five members.The Articles of Association require that a quorum of at least five members be present when the meeting proceeds to business. The day to day running of the business is delegated to an administrator who liaises with the members of the Committee of Management.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Women's Total Abstinence Educational Union Limited for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- 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 charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditors are unaware; and
- the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Women's Total Abstinence Educational Union Limited**
## **Opinion**
We have audited the financial statements of Women's Total Abstinence Educational Union Limited (the 'charitable company') for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
## In our opinion the financial statements:
- give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
## **Basis for opinion**
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
## **Conclusions relating to going concern**
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
## **Other information**
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the Independent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 7
**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Women's Total Abstinence Educational Union Limited**
## **Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006**
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
## **Matters on which we are required to report by exception**
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Trustees.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
- the trustees were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Trustees.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Page 8
**Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of Women's Total Abstinence Educational Union Limited**
## **Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements**
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
• The Charitable Company is required to comply with both company law and charity law and, based on our knowledge of its activities, we identified that the legal requirement to accurately account for restricted funds was of key significance.
• We gained an understanding of how the charitable company complied with its legal and regulatory framework, including the requirement to properly account for restricted funds, through discussions with management and a review of the documented policies, procedures and controls.
• The audit team, which is experienced in the audit of charities, considered the charitable company's susceptibility to material misstatement and how fraud may occur. Our considerations included the risk of management override.
• Our approach was to check that all restricted income was properly identified and separately accounted for and to ensure that only valid and appropriate expenditure was charged to restricted funds. This included reviewing journal adjustments and unusual transactions.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Independent Auditors.
## **Use of our report**
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value, as modified by the revaluation of certain assets.
## **Income**
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
**----- Start of picture text -----**
|||
|---|---|
|Freehold property|- 2% on cost|
|Long leasehold|- 2% on cost|
|Fixtures and fittings|- 25% on cost|
**----- End of picture text -----**
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Designated funds are set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
