The Parent Rooms Ltd (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
The trustees present their Trustees' Annual Report, combining the Directors' Report and Trustees' Report, and the unaudited financial statements for the financial year ended 30 June 2025.
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annual Report under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the charity's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees.
In this report the trustees of The Parent Rooms Ltd present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial year 30 June 2025.
The charity is a registered charity and hence the report and results are presented in a form which complies with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, although not obliged to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102, the organisation has implemented its recommendations where relevant in these financial statements.
Mission, Objectives and Strategy
The purpose of the charity, as set out in its governing document, is to advance health and wellbeing, particularly mental health, of pregnant women, parents, their support networks and the health professionals, volunteers and other related professions supporting them.
The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes are creating and sustaining peer support networks led by parents, providing wellbeing programs, counselling and social connection. Training and education are also provided on parental mental illness and its treatments as well as training for peer support leaders.
Review of Activities, Achievements and Performance
From January to June 2025, our group programmes were temporarily interrupted due to delays in gaining access to our new premises. During this time, the team worked remotely while 1-to-1 Parent Advocacy and counselling continued uninterrupted. This ensured that parents most in need, maintained access to timely, trauma-informed support even when group activity paused.
Group delivery resumed on a phased basis once premises issues were resolved, with our focus on rebuilding social connection and peer support as core components of recovery and community wellbeing.
Key Programmes & Activities Delivered
Despite operational challenges in early 2025, The Parent Rooms continued to deliver a diverse range of services designed to promote parental mental health, social connection and empowerment:
Space For Me
Our flagship wellbeing programme supporting parents to explore emotional regulation, self-compassion and coping strategies through group reflection and creative activities. Participants reported improved confidence, peer connection and emotional stability.
Art for Wellbeing
A creative arts-based intervention offering parents a safe, expressive outlet to explore their experiences and promote relaxation. Evaluation indicated notable improvements in mood, sense of belonging and confidence in self-expression.
Younger Mums Programme
Targeted peer support for mothers aged under 25, providing both therapeutic and practical support to address isolation, early parenthood stress and identity challenges.
Co-founding of the Young Women’s Consortium
In partnership with several community organisations and supported by the Pilgrim Trust, we jointly established a crosssector consortium to enhance opportunities, voice and mental health support for young women across Belfast. This collaboration demonstrates our leadership in community partnership working and collective impact.
Counselling Contract with the Belfast Trust Perinatal Mental Health Team
We continued to deliver clinical counselling sessions through this contract, providing specialist perinatal therapy for mothers experiencing antenatal and postnatal mental health difficulties.

for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
Weekly Social Connection Activities
Informal coffee mornings, peer support drop-ins and wellbeing-focused workshops were delivered weekly throughout the year, providing continuity of connection and reducing isolation.
Childcare Provision
Where funding allowed, on-site childcare was provided during programmes and group sessions, removing barriers to participation for parents with young children.
Seasonal Community Events
Our Halloween and Christmas parties brought families together for shared celebration, strengthening community ties and providing a positive social environment for parents and children alike. Outcomes and quality
Outcomes & Quality
Even during the period of restricted access to premises, parents continued to make measurable progress across the five wellbeing domains – mental, physical, parental, relational and financial – as assessed through our Circle of Wellbeing and Outcomes Measurement Tools. Parents reported feeling more connected, confident and better equipped to manage stress.
Partnership and community impact
We sustained strong relationships with existing funders and partners, including Belfast Trust, Belfast City Council, Pilgrim Trust, the Rank Foundation, Trusthouse Charitable Foundation and others. Our co-founding of the Young Women’s Consortium demonstrates our ongoing commitment to collaborative working and shared learning across the community and voluntary sector.
Against plan
The Strategic Plan 2023–2026 set out four strategic priorities – Impact, Access, Growth and Change – all of which remained central throughout the year. Despite delays to premises access, The Parent Rooms continued to demonstrate adaptability, maintaining essential services, protecting parent outcomes, and ensuring a rapid return to full programme delivery once facilities became available.
Financial Results
At the end of the financial year the charity has assets of £179,996 (2024 - £106,952) and liabilities of £2,688 (2024 - £2,785). The net assets of the charity have increased by £73,141.

The Parent Rooms Ltd
(A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
The trustees, who are also directors of The Parent Rooms Ltd for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the trustees as directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" Section 1A (Small Entities). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the surplus or deficit of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Parent Rooms Ltd
(A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE PARENT ROOMS LTD
We have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 30 June 2025, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet and the related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our work has been undertaken so that we might compile the financial statements that we have been engaged to compile, report to the Board of Trustees that we have done so, and state those matters that we have agreed to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's members, as a body, for our work, or for this report.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is required.
-
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 65 of the Charities Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
We have examined your charity financial statements as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and our examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records
-
the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of 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 (FRS102)
-
there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examiner's statement
We 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 financial statements to be reached.

The Parent Rooms Ltd (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The Parent Rooms Ltd is a company limited by guarantee incorporated in Northern Ireland. The registered office of the charity is Commission House, 18-22 Gordon Street, Belfast, BT1 2LG which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of general funds.
General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by the donor, as income.
10
continued
The Parent Rooms Ltd (A company limited by guarantee, not having a share capital) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 30 June 2025
Time based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases, the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measures for each activity.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
Plant and machinery
- 20% Straight line
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months’ notice of withdrawal.
Taxation and deferred taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption.
