Structure, governance and management
Governing Document
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 8 April 2004. 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. In the event of the
company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not ex￿edIng £5.
Recruitment and Appointment of Board of Directors
Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association a Director shall hold offi
until the next Annual General Meeting following hislher appointment. A retiring Director is then
eligible for re-election.
The Board of Directors seeks to ensure that the needs of the adoption and looked-after communities
are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. The more traditional business
an(J professional skills are well represented on the Board of Directors. In the event of particular skills
being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Board
of Directors.
Trustee Induction and Training
New trustees are familiarised with the charity through an induction with the Regional Manager. The
induction covers..
The ServI￿S the charity provides.

Memorandum and Articles.
Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts.
Future plans and objectives.
The Board of Directors are invited to attend a variety of relevant training sessions including good
governance and strategic planning.
Risk Management
A risk register has been established and is updated at least annually. Where appropriate, systems or
procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Significant external risks to
funding are reduced by a strategic plan which allows for the diversification of funding and activities.
Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of prO￿dureS for authorisation of
transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure Complian￿ with health and safety of
staff, volunteers, clients and visitors to the charity's offices and hired premises for outreach projects.
All procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they meet required standards and the needs of
the charity.
Organisational Structure and Guidance
The charity has a Board of Directors of no less than four members who meet bi-monthly and are
responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity. There were no new appointments and
no resignations in the financial year.
The day-to4ay responsibility for the provision of services, financial and staff management rests with
the Regional Manager. The Chairperson is responsible for providing supervision to the Regional
Manager.
In so far as it is complimentary to the charity's objects, the charity is guided by the relevant legislation
in particular the Adoption (Northern Ireland) Order 1987, the Data Protection Act 2018, the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, the Adoption and Children Act 2002, the Children (Leaving Care) Act (Northern

Ireland) 2002, and the Protection of Children and Vulnerable Adults (Northern Ireland) Order 2003.
Objectives and activities
The charity was originally established to provide the services of a support organisation, the main aim
of which is to help adults deal with their feelings about the challenges that adoption can bring and, if
necessary, to provide help with the tracing process. On 8th April 2008, the committee passed a
special resolution that Adopt Nl would, from now on, also offer support to birth families who have lost,
or are at risk of losing their children (under 18s) through adoption and adults who were brought up
within the looked after community.
The charity's objects and principal activities are to..
To ensure Adopt Nl is properly governed.
To ensure that Adopt Nl has the appropriate skills, reSoUr￿S and systems in place to operate
efficiently and effectively.
To generate income from a diverse income base to insure the delivery of appropriate Adopt Nl
seNices and stakeholders.
To meet demand for all Adopt Nl's tracing services.
To increase the availability of peer support to all those in the adoption and looked after
communities across the province.
To increase the availability of independent specialist support to all those in the adoption and
looked after communities across the province.
To improve relationships and credibility with statutory and voluntary adoption agencies, LAC
and mental health teams.
To develop and effective and comprehensive PRladvertising strategy.
To reduce the stigma surrounding the adoption and looked after communities.
The main objectives and activities for the year continued to focus upon the provision of a first class
independent support service that will empower all those in the adoption and looked after communities
in Northem Ireland and those involved with them.
Achievements and performance
Adopt Nl has four main services and continues to collaborate with other organisations in the sector, to
identify and address the needs of service users and adapt to meet those needs. For the year
2022-23 Adopt Nl dealt with a total of 238 enquiries. Of those, many were either signposted to the
relevant agency or went on to aC￿sS support via Adopt Nl.
TRACING
Regional Origins Tracing Service (ROTS)
ROTS has been operating SUC￿ssfUllY since 2003 thanks to fijnding from HSCB, and will
continue to operate subject to funding. Adopt Nl delivers ROTS as a tracing service for Family
and Childcare Social Workers in the statutory and voluntary organisations in Northem Ireland.
ROTS can only be used by social workers searching on behalf of adoptees, birth mothers and
birth siblings and those who are looked after. Referrals totalled 139 for the year.

Company Limited by Guarantee
Trustees, Annual Report (Incorporating the Director's Report) (Continued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
Outside Agencies Tracing Service (OATS)
Adopt Nl established this tracing service in 2009, for those social workers and agencies who
do not qualify to use ROTS, such as childcare social workers employed outside Northern
Ireland. It operates in exactly the same way as ROTS although fees apply to cover our
resources for this work. In the year we prO￿SSed 1 OATS referral.
Private Tracing Service (PTS)
We offer a private tracing Servi￿ to adoptees and adults who have been looked after;
however we encourage everyone to tra￿ via a ststutory agency. In the year we processed 2
private traces
INTERMEDIARY WORK
Our intermediary service is designed to ensure individuals establish contact safely and at a pa￿ that
suits both parties.
Help to Remain Anonymous
If an adoptee or birth parent does not want to have contact and does not want the other party
to gain identifying information, Adopt Nl will endeavour to assure the person feels confident
that their wishes will be respected and can work with the other paty to help them accept and
respect the other's wish to remain anonymous.
SUPPORT
Overall, Adopt Nl provided advice, support and signposting for approximately 189 individual enquirers,
of these 42 availed of ongoing support or advocacy.
Peer Support
Peer support is founded on mutual agreement and respect, and based on shared
experiences. At Adopt Nl we offer peer support on a one-to-one and group basis.
One to one
One-to-one support offers individuals an opportunity to talk in confidence to one of their peers
or an experienced member of the Adopt Nl team.
The service is aimed at those who are not ready, or do not want, to attend a support group. It
is free and open-ended, i.e. it is available as often and as long as the client needs the service.
Support Groups
The charity's support groups are self-financing, as members pay a small attendan
contribution of £3.00 to cover the cost of refreshments. The Belfast Group continues to meet
regularly with approximately 12 members and 7-9 at most meetings.
An additional group was set up on Zoom in line with the Truth Recovery Strategy and runs
bi-weekly for adopted adults, with attendees joining from Nl, ROI, UK and abroad.

SPECIALIST COUNSELLING
Counselling is available for those who feel it is right for them. Our counsellors are fully trained and
accredited by BACP and specialise in the issues that surround the adoption and looked after
communities.
MOTHER AND BABY HOME, MAGDALENE LAUNDRIES AND WORKHOUSES (FUNDED 8Y VSS)
We launched new services this year in August 2022, funded by the Victims and SuNivors Setvice
(VSS). The new project is in a pilot phase and in the period we supported 61 individuals with
information recovery, advocacy, family tracing and wraparound support. We also launched a DNA
pilot to support 20 individuals to tra￿ their family of origin via DNA.
Financial review
The charity was delighted to continue to re￿1ve the continued support of both HSCB and DHSSPS
£42,475 for the ROTS project from HSCB and £14,039 toward the Regional Managerfs salary and
premises costs from DHSSPS. It relies on charitable grants and is grateful to have received £ 2400.00
from the Ulster Bank.
The charity is also delighted to announce new funding received in the year from VSS of £89,015.27 to
allow us to support victims and survivors of the Mother and Baby Homes, Magdalene Laundries and
Workhouses in Nl.
Plans for future periods
Subject to satisfactory funding arrangements, the charity intends to continue to provide the activities
outlined above in the forthcoming years.
Adopt Nl has continued to collaborate within the sector in the year, utilising its nelworks within the
teams in the 5 HSCTS and 2 voluntary adoption agencies in Nl, to further identify additional support
needs of service users. The overall aim is to tailor existing ServI￿S and implement new services,
which are people led and evidenced as currently being unavailable to adults affected by adoption or
long term care.
The aim is to both increase our presence and the availability of tailored servI￿S within the sector in Nl
in 2024 and beyond.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.,
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP-

explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements
comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the

These financial statements have been prepared in Complian￿ with FRS 102, 'The Financial
Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland,, the 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) (Charities
SORP {FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the
revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair
value through income or expenditure.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.
Deferred government grants
Deferred government grants in respect of capital expenditure are treated as deferred income and
are credited to the profit and loss account over the estimated useful life of the assets to which
they relate.
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements
are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations
of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the
charity's purposes.
Designated fijnds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or
commitment.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or

Accounting policies (Continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has
passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction
will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies
are applied to particular categories of income:
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the
gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
legacy income is recognised when re￿Ipt is probable and entitlement is established.
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is
impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor
or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and ServI￿S are recognised in the
accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for
the contribution of general volunteers.
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the
ontracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual
requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case
it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any
VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the ststement of
financial activities to which it relates:
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events,
non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking
activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those
support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable
activities.
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the
charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs
attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned
belween the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any
accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued
amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Page 13
Adopt Nl
Company Limited by Guarantee
Notes to the Financial Statements (eontinued)
Year ended 31 March 2023
Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other
recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been
recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying
amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses,
except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within
other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual
value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Computer equipment
Office equipment
33 /0 Straight line
20 % straight line
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable
amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Vvhere the carrying value exceeds the
recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for
possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impaimient testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable
amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest
identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely
independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the
acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity
are assigned to those units.
Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including
any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other
consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publicly traded or their fair value can othetwise be measured
reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in income and expenditure. All other such investments are subsequently measured at
cost less impairment.

Accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments {continued)
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless
payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest
that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future
payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. with any changes
recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the eX￿ptIon of hedging instruments in a
designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence
of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an
impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of fsnancial
activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are
individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are
either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not
result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that eX￿ed$ what the carrying amount would
have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which
the related seNice is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent
that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the
reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a
discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in
the period in which it arises.
Limited by guarantee
The company is limited by guarantee and has no authorised or issued share capital.
