**Charity Registration No. 702347** 



**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. 

This year we held our first organisation development and away days in November which allowed time to reflect, evaluate and prioritise our needs for the coming years. Our achievements from year end 2021 included. 

- Prepare and apply for continued service funding via Local authority. 

- Secure funding to develop children’s services and volunteers. 

- Train new volunteers in Domestic Abuse and other mandatory training

## **Risk Management** 

The Board has assessed the major risks to which the charity is or may be exposed, and those related to the operations and financing of the charity.  It is satisfied that by reviewing its policies, procedures, and systems regularly it is mitigating its exposure to any major operational risks.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE** 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31[st ] March 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 18. 

## _Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner_ 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that the audit is not required this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Independent Examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act, 

- to follow procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

_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 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;  and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

(2)  to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**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. 

- 9 - 



**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.  Support and governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report. These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charitable company.

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. 

## **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. Support and governance costs are applied to unrestricted funds unless specifically included in the restrictions, as specified by the donor.

Support and governance costs relate to the management and operation of the organisation and also compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements in producing the annual report.  These are dealt with in the Statement of Financial Activities when payment has been approved by the charity. 

## **Taxation** 

Income and gains are exempt from taxation as they are applied for charitable purposes only. The charity benefits from various exemptions from taxation afforded by tax legislation and is not liable to corporation tax on income or gains falling within those exemptions. The charity is not able to recover Value Added Tax. Expenditure is recorded in the accounts inclusive of VAT. 

## **Pension** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds. Contribution payments are charged to the SOFA. Any amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. 

## **Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when there is a clear decision or commitment to terminate the employment or provide such termination benefits. 

- 11 - 



**AMADUDU WOMEN’S REFUGE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022**
