Social Services Trust.
The Shankill Women's Centre currently runs:
The Health & Well-Being Project takes a holistic approach to the prevention of social isolation.
We do this by covering an array of topics including emotional and mental health, physical health, and social
wellbeing classes. All classes are cross-community and intergenerational, Emottonal and Mental Health
classes allow women a safe environment to explore and express their feelings in positive and healthy ways.
Physical Health classes provide a range of different activities ensuring that women with all abilities and
disabilities can participate in exercise classes. Social wellbeing and recT¢ational Classes help with hand-eye
co-ordination, maintaining and learning new skills. supporting their peers while making new friends

Childcare Unit
The child-care facility within the centre provides an invaluable resource to the parents through the provision
of high-quality care for their children it is also tliere to help and support parents either if they are working or
taking part in Education/ Health Project. All staff are qualified, and tliis is a safe and nurturing environment
where children learn and develop through play. We work in partnership with parents to ensure children's
needs are paramount. The child-care programme is organised by a Child-care Manager. A Child-care
organiser who runs the facility on a day-to-day basis and a team of qualified staff.
The Childcare Facility is registered as Full Day Care with North & West H.S.S. Trust. Opening hours are

meet all their areas of development.
High Scope Ongoing
The childcare project within the Shankill Women's Centre implements the High-scope Programme which is
an early learning plan for pre-school children. The programme is based on the idea that children learn best
from activities that they plan and carry out themselves. High-scope is based on a balance between activities
initiated by tlie children and those arranged by the adults. It is important to build on childrcn's strengths,
interests and abilities and to develop their self-esteem and problem-solving skills and to help them to
understand and accept differences in a wider social setting.
Media Initiative Ongoing
The childcare is continuing to use the Media Initiative for Children Respecting Difference Programme. The
children would use this resource each week whcther with the puppets or the story books. Major research has
found evidence that the programme is effective in improving outcomes in young children in relation to their
social and emotional development and awareness of and attitudes towards cultural differences.
Project Objectives
With the resources in place the project will be able to monitor the development of the children's intellectual,
verbal, cognitive, social and emotional skills. Children will also gain confidence and independency. The
Childcare facility will provide the children with the social contact of other children that will be crucial to
their individual development.
(a) To provide a quality Child focused environment in which children feel secure and safe.
(b) To foster and develop each cFLild's sense of self-value and esteem.
(c) To welcome all parents and their children regardless of their religion. race, Inarital status, sexual
orientation or disability.
(d) To provide child-care which embraces social policy and legislation in respect of children (Children Nl
Order 1998).
(e) To promote equal opportunities and ensure that all children are encouraged to participate.
(fj To be sensitive of the wishes and feelings of parents whose children are in our care.
(g) To implement the High Scope Programme.
(h) To provide a structured programme that will enable children to develop socially. emotionally.
intellectually, verbally and physically. encouraging children to learn and explore and develop.

ort of the Trustees

(i) To recognise and meet the developmental needs of each child and to offer choices to involve them in all
decisions affecting them, to seek their opinion at all time opportunities.
li) To help raise awareness in the children of attitudes towards cultural differences and respecting those
differences. This will in turn improve effective outcomes in the young children which they will take homc to
their families. Staff are all trained to deliver this programme and ensure all children are valued and respected
in a safe and nurturing environment.

Reserves policy
Shankill Women's Centre delivers a range of programmes and services and has been successful in obtaining
funding from a variety of sources. All of these grants, however, are in the form of restricted fund5.
Non-restricted incoine amounts to less than two per ¢ent of total income.
The Directors have reviewed the charity's need for reserves and Consider that these are necessary:
(a) to protect the charity against:_
Late payment of grants by funders.
Non-renewal of existing grants and so ensuring continuity of services while alternative sources of funding
are sorted or to allow a smooth and gradual wind-down of one or more service5. or
(b) in circumstances where there is a proportionately high number of redundancies:_
The equivalent of four months annual revenue costs is considered by the Directors to be a reasonable target.
This policy will be reviewed annually by the Directors.
This figure is based on the number of staff

responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the

responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriatc 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.

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.

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
thai 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:
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities. including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified the principal risks of
non-compliance with laws and regulations as those that have a direct impact on the determination of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial
statements and determined that the principal risks related to revenue recognition. We communicated the
identified laws and regulations throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of
non-compliance throughout the audit. Audit procedures performed included, but were not limited to..
Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud.
Reviewing the financial statement disc105ures and testing to supporting documentation.
Review of board meeting minutes of those charged with governance.
In addressing the risk of fraud through management overide of controls. testing the appropriateness of
journal entries and other adjustments.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAS (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:_
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or
error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to thos¢ risks, and obtain audit evidence that is
sufficient and appropriate to provide a basi5 for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgeryj
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
charities internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the rea50nableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures mad¢ by the trustees.
Perform analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of
material misstatement due to fraud or error.

Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees, use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may
east significant doubt on the charities ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the
financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based
on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions
may cause the charity to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the financial statements, including the disc105ures
and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.

timing of the audit and significant audit ftndings, includiiig significant deficiencies in internal control that
we identify during our audit.

102) (effective l January 2019),, Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard
applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements
have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

is limited to £1 per member of the charity.

Shankill Womens Centre
Notes to the Financial Statements - Continued
for the Year Ended 31 March 2024
ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Basis of preparing the financial statements
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the charity
is legally entitled to the income after any perforniance conditions have been met, the amount can be
measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
For donations to be recognised the charity will have been notified of the amounts and the settlement
date in writing. If there are conditions attached to the donation and this requires a level of
performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions are
fully met or the fulfilinent of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable
that they will be fulfilled. Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is
included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when receivable. Income received
from collections is recognised when received.
Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when
their economic benefit is probable, it can be ineasured reliably, and the charity has control over the
item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example, the
amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A
corresponding amount is recognised in expendituie.
No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102).
Further detail is given in the Trustees, Annual Report.
For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the
legacy beiiig received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the
charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these
occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.
Income from earned income includes income earned from fundraising events and earned income
activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and
services in order to raise funds and is recogniscd when entitl¢ment has occurred.
The charity receives government grants which are detailed within the notes to these financial
statements. Income from government and other grants are re¢ognised at fair value when the charity
has entitlement after any performanc¢ conditions have been met. it is probable that the income will be
received, and the amount can be measuied reliably. If entitlement is not met, then these amounts are
deferred.
(D) Expenditure recognition
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis inclusive of VAT which cannot be recovered
and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is
recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is
probable that the settlement will be required, and the amount of the obligation can be measured
reliably. It is catcgorised under the following headings:
Costs of raising funds include5 the costs associated with attracting voluntary incomes.
Expenditure on charitable activities includes those costs incurred by the charity iii the delivery of its
activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such
activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. and
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into the categories above.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES- continued
Basis of preparing the financial statements
Irrecoverable VA T is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.
Grants payable to third parties are within the charitable objectives. Where unconditional grants are
offered, this is accrued as soon as the recipient is notified of the grant, as this gives rise to a
reasonable expectation that the recipient will receive the grants. Where grants are conditional relating
to performance then the grant is only accrued when any unfulfilled conditions are outside of the
control of the charity.
(e) Support costs allocation
Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable
activities and include office costs, governance costs, administrative payroll costs. They are incurred
directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include project management
carried out at Headquarters. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings
they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis
consistent with use of the resources. Premises overheads have been allocated on an insert detail basis
and other overheads have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
(Q Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment
losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fix¢d assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less
estimated residual value, of eaoh asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Freehold Land & Buildings
Leasehold Improvements
Plant and Equipment
IO% Straight Line
I 00/0 Straight Line
200/0 Straight Line
(g) Finaneial Instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the
contractual provision of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amounts 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 relived and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in shares are publlcly traded or their fair value can otherwise 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
Basis of preparing the financial statements
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 exception of hedging instruments in a designed 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 financial activities in
which the initial gain is 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 exceeds what the carrying amount would have been
had the impairment not previously been recognised.
(h) Impairment
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at
each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's
cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is
carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease.
(i) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when tlie charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the
amount Can be reliably estimated.
(i) Leases
Assets acquired under finance leases are capitalised and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term
and the cxpected useful life of the asset. Minimum lease payinents are apportioned between the
finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding lease liability using the effective interest method.
The related obligations, net of future finance charges, are included in creditors.
Rentals payable and receivable under operating leases are charged to the SOFA on a straight line basis
over the period of the lease.
(k) Tax
No provision is required for taxation as the company is defined as a charity for taxation purposes.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Basis of preparing the fInancial statements
The charity is a registered charity and so such is entitled to certain tax exemptions on income and
profits from investments and surpluses on any earned income activities carried on in furtherance of
the charity's primary objectives, if these profits and surpluses are applied solely for charitable
purposes.
(l) Going ¢oncern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no
material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected
level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The
budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to
continue as a going concern.
(m) Judgements estimates
Tlie following judgements including those involving estimates that have been made in the process of
applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements and that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
(i) depreciation method and asset useful lives
The estimates and assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis considering the current and future
market conditions.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Th¢ 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.
