Objectives and activities
The principal activity of the Waterside Women’s Centre is to create learning opportunities that are geared towards meeting women’s needs and aspirations. Help women gain the confidence and skills needed to participate in social, family, educational, community and economic life. Support women and children by providing quality onsite childcare. Waterside Women’s Centre is managed by the Trustees who are responsible for the management of the charity. The Trustees meet monthly to oversee the management of the Centre. The Management Committee employs two Centre Coordinators who share the responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Centre.
Public benefit The Management Committee have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and performance
Significant activities and achievements against objectives
In 2024/25 Waterside Women’s Centre continued to focus on the needs of the community to ensure woman and children received support to enable them to build their lives and make their community better. This continues to be a challenge with the ongoing cost-of-living crisis. The work of the Centre is focused on women’s empowerment and having access to opportunities to shape their lives and the lives of their families. We meet our aims by providing access to a holistic range of activities including education, training and skills with support provided through our onsite creche to those women requiring childcare.
Staff training and development was promoted and encouraged. And we continued our successful partnership with a range of tutors and organisations who provide programmes and activities. We continued to offer opportunities for women to achieve goals for their future.
Training, Education and Women’s Empowerment Our courses and empowerment programmes continue to provide high quality capacity building programmes for women in a safe and welcoming space. The range of courses on offer reflect our responsiveness to members surveys and consultations.
Health and well-being remain a core part of our programme, and we offered a range of sessions supporting women’s physical and mental well-being.
We delivered a range of courses to 956 women. We believe this figure demonstrates our capacity to work with our funders in delivering a wide range of courses and services to women to continue to support them through the ongoing difficult times we all face and prepare them for the future.
With the on-going support offered by our Child Support Worker we have developed relationships with community groups in Curryniern, Tullyally, Clooney, Shepherds View, Newbuildings and the Waterside Theatre These connections are vital to continue to grow the reputation of the Waterside Women’s Centre in the City and surrounding areas. We engaged with 303 children and their families.

WATERSIDE WOMEN'S CENTRE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 eee Childcare Our creche staff provided 2,442 places for children to support their development and allow their mums / carers opportunities to attend training and development sessions. We welcomed 68 new families and 103 children throughout the year. We are still working hard to deliver the services needed by families with pre-school children who have specific needs.
Financial review Total income for the year was £172,618, of which £158,670 represents grant funding received for projects and £10,031 was generated from user contributions to course fees. The balance of income represents small donations from users. Total expenditure by the charity was £205,112, of which £178,828 related to direct charitable activities, and £26,284 related to management and administration costs. The charity had net assets at the year-end of £84,497, of which £22,722 were held as restricted funds, £45,000 were held as unrestricted funds designated by the Trustees to cover costs in the event of a shortfall in funding, and £16,775 were unrestricted in nature.
Reserves policy
The Management Committee consider it prudent to hold monies in reserve in the event unforeseen circumstances should lead to financial difficulties which might put the future of its employment capacity, general charitable work and property in jeopardy. The organisation is currently working to meet unprecedented challenges created by the pandemic and the emerging cost of living crises. The Management Committee consider that reserves should be equivalent to 3 months of operating costs calculated annually. Reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding they will be able to continue the charity’s activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The Management Committee assess that three months of operating costs amounts to approximately £45,000 and have set aside this amount within a designated fund. This is to ensure sustainability and growth of our support services, investing in the maintenance of the facilities required to meet our aims for women and children. The Management Committee will review the appropriateness of the policy annually.
Structure, governance and management The charity is an unincorporated organisation governed by its Constitution which sets out the objects and powers of the charity. The Management Committee who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Geraldine Compton (Chairperson) Hilary Hamilton (Vice Chairperson) Christine Mclvor (Secretary) Marian Kerlin (Treasurer) Bernadette Duddy Monica Sherry Chery! Wannell
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The Management Committee manages the process of recruitment and appointment of new members in accordance with the provisions of the charity's Constitution. The charity shall be managed by a Committee consisting of a Chairperson, Vice-Chairperson, Secretary, Treasurer and not less than 2 members of the charity elected by and from amongst the members present and voting at the AGM. The Management Committee has the power to co-opt further members provided that the number of co-options does not exceed one-third of the total membership of the Committee.
The charity provides new members of the Management Committee with specific details of what their role entails and also their responsibilities in terms of governance within the organisation.

Charity information
Waterside Women's Centre is an unincorporated charity established under and governed by its Constitution. The charity is registered with the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under the charity reference NIC 104557.
- 1.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Constitution, the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland’ (“FRS 102”) and the Charities SORP "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 (FRS 102)" (effective 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 1.2. Going concern At the time of approving the financial statements, the Management Committee have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Management Committee continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3 Charitable funds Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Management Committee in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Management Committee for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors or grantors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.4 Income
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

a 1Accounting policies (Continued)
1.5 Expenditure Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
- 1.6 Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures and fittings 20% reducing balance Office equipment 20% reducing balance Creche equipment 20% reducing balance
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7. impairment of fixed assets At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 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. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.
1.9 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 ail 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.

WATERSIDE WOMEN'S CENTRE NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 eee 1 Accounting policies (Continued)
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 payments 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.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.10 Taxation The charity is recognised by HM Revenue & Customs as holding charitable status for taxation purposes under the charity tax reference XR62671. As a result there is no liability to taxation on any of its income.
1.11 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 the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the Management Committee 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 ongoing 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.
