The provision, and assistance in the provision, in the interests or social welfare, for female inhabitants of the City of Leeds and the neighbourhood, of facilities for education, and for recreation and other leisure-time occupation, with the object of improving their conditions of life.

The charity's main activities

Our aim is to ensure that through our provision young women are enriched emotionally, mentally and physically and that they have chances to increase their positive choices in life. We recognise that women can be discriminated against in our society and we seek to offer a space where young women can feel comfortable enough to negotiate the challenges life offers.

We are committed to the following core values:

w All young women have the potential to succeed.
w All young women deserve the supportive relationships and unbiased information they need to make positive life choices.
w Young women are the experts in their own lives and we encourage them to have a voice in society.
w We value diversity and difference and celebrate it in all its dimensions.
w Prejudice and stereotypes are challenged at all levels.
w We endeavour to offer high quality services that empower young women.
w Our staff and volunteers are our major resource and we value the time, energy, skills and commitment they bring to the organisation.

Public benefit statement

In planning our activities for this year the trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard of public benefit guidance published by the commission.

Relocation

The Trustees took the decision to sell Getaway Girls' building as it was too small and no longer fit for purpose. The building was sold to Canopy Housing in April 2022 to create 4 new flats for young women. Getaway Girls have since moved into a temporary space within Shine, Harehills Road, LS8. All activities will continue to be offered for girls and young women from the temporary space.

It is hoped that Getaway Girls will be moving into a permanent property by the end of September.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

The trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and UK Accounting Standards.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial accounts 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 the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.

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 accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP (FRS102)), and in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees on 15/09/2022

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Getaway Girls

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 16.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the charitable company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Since the charitable company's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a fellow of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act.

I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a fellow of ACIE which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3 the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
4 the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

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 accounts to be reached.
