AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
The trustees are pleased to present their annual report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published (FRS 102) (effective 1[st] January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Amadudu was set up to address racism and barriers faced by Black and Racial Minority women and children in mainstream services and wider society. Its objective is to work for the promotion of any charitable purposes for the benefit of women and children experiencing domestic violence, by the advancement of education, the protection of health and the relief of poverty, sickness and distress.
Public Benefit Statement
In considering the objectives and activities, the Trustees have considered Charity Commission guidance on Public Benefit to ensure that the charity is meeting its Public Benefit requirements.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Amadudu is a specialist provider by and for Black and Minority Ethnic organisation. We provide accommodation-based refuge services for women and their children from Black and Minority Ethnic communities (however not exclusively) who are fleeting Domestic Abuse.
Based in Merseyside Amadudu are the first refuge service specialising in services to meet the needs of Black and Minority Ethnic women and children and have been delivering services for 31 years.
This year has saw the refuge move out of high level Covid restrictions and changing climate for Domestic Abuse services with guidance from Government health and local government strategic changes.
We continue to review and implement Health and safety, keeping informed by public health information to ensure the safety of our service users and staff are paramount.
This has been a busy and challenging year for the organisation as we prepared for procuring a new service contract with the local authority which was comprehensive. We are hopeful that the bid is successful to secure key funding for the next 5-7 years.
The organisation this year appointed a new Manager who is responsible for the overall operations at refuge and driving the vision, aims and objectives of the organisation forward with the Board. She has been instrumental in preparation for the new contract bid with Local Authority to ensure sustainability of the service. We have also employed a new admin/reception worker which was a gap in human resource at the refuge enabling local employment.
Amadudu have new and strengthened relationships with key stakeholders who have been staunch supporters of the organisation and with whom we have excellent working relationships.
We have worked hard this year to increase our income for much needed resources. Including a number of pandemic recovery grants, and smaller project funding. We commenced upgrading apartment furniture and furnishing also and secured funds to provide resources for women with no recourse to public funds for food and clothes, children’s services and therapeutic play and educational resources.

AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
We have introduced floating support workers to the team something that worked well during Covid that has help with supporting women and addressing the increase in demand to the service. We upgraded very tired office and communal/multipurpose room furniture and have started to redecorate a number of apartments to enhancing the living environments.
Amadudu have been strategically involved at National and local level, shaping Domestic Abuse Strategies and Domestic abuse providers collaborative working forums. We successful received funding from the Police Crime Commission, LCVS, Father Austin community grant, LCVS Community impact funding, P H Holt Resilience fund (towards staffing and womens resources) and Women’s Aid Federation fund.
We have been fortunate as a specialist refuge to lever funding grants from a lead organisation Imkaan to specifically address the complex and additional needs of women from Black and minority communities and funding that has enabled organisation development , staff training ,and contributed to new & existing staff costs with Imkaan Margin to Centre and Black Minority Women and VAWG funding .
The Family support worker designed, co-ordinated delivery of children services including out of school playschemes and childcare including child health and wellbeing activities to address child trauma and impact of experiencing domestic abuse on children.
Funding has provided digital equipment for families to use, securing a new website design and provider with staff training. The communal garden was uplifted with new furniture and tidy up and is now a better space for outdoor activities.
We have received a number of kind donations via our website facility which have been used for trips out for the children and emergency funds for new families arriving at refuge.
Re-housing families remains difficult in the current homeless climate in the region, but we have good working relationships with local authority homeless team and support women in their pathway to new homes and lives free from violence.
A range of activities have provided skills enhancement, improved health and wellbeing, confidence building, better connectivity with services and local community services, improve relationships with children and education providers, service led activities and inclusive welcoming environment at refuge.
Challenges remain in regard to women seeking immigration status, legal processes at court, access to mental wellbeing services (long waiting times)
Our connections with grass-roots community organisations have saw generosity in provision of clothes, food, free learning opportunities, lots of afterschool opportunity for children. MPAC have been a key organisation in provision of grants for children playschemes, addressing food poverty for the families and provision of education and play resources. Solicitors who provide children toy sacks each year.
We thank all the funders who have supported Amadudu this year it has been great appreciated by the families and organisation.

Basis of independent examiner’s report
Independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
1. Accounting Policies
Basis of accounting
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland published (FRS102) as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1[st] January 2019) and Charities Act 2011.
The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The Charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for Charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Going concern
The Charity has not been significantly impacted financially by Covid-19, due to receiving emergency funding from seven funders and reducing costs by furloughing staff. At the time of approving the accounts, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Trustees have therefore adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are the charity’s free reserves available for the trustees to apply in accordance with the charity’s objectives.
Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by the donor. All restricted funds are accounted for as restricted income and expenditure for the purposes is charged to the fund.
Income recognition
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, there is sufficient certainty of receipt and so it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from charitable activities is recognised on an accrual’s basis except for grants receivable, which are recognised on the date on which their unconditional payment is confirmed by the donor.
Income from other trading activities relates to fundraising events and is recognised when the amount is certain.
Expenditure recognition
Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charitable company to that expenditure, it is probable that settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual’s basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities. Support and governance costs are applied to unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.
Expenditure on charitable activities relate to the operation of the charity comprising of direct charitable expenditure to meet the objectives of the charitable company.

Financial instruments
The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses, including support costs and governance costs, are allocated or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings in the Statement of Financial Activities.
