for the year ending 31 March 2025. which are also prepared to meet the requirements for the
directors, report for Companies Act purposes. The financial statements comply with the Charties
Act (Northern Ireland) 2008, the Companies Act 2006. the charity's Memorandum and Articles of
Association and the Accouting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practi
applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting

Chairperson's Report
As Chairperson of the Board of Trustees of Alliance for Choice (AFC) l am happy to report that
Alliance for Choice continues to work across its established client base and expand into new areas
of work.
Financial Review
The annual report should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements for the year ended
31 March 2025.
Alliance for choice accounts in 2024 showed an income generated through successful grant
applications and fundraising, £91,529. In 2024-25 we secured further funding from JRCT to
produce an educational platform, this increased the income in this financial year by £14,396 to
£105.925
It is in the policy of the chairty that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a
specific use should be maintained at a level equivelant to one month's expenditure, excluding
salaries. The trustees consider that at this level will ensure that. in the event of a significant drop in
funding, they will be able to continue the charities core running costs while consideration is given
to ways in which additional funds may be raised.

journey.

3. Development of education and awareness of wider reproductive justice via
'The Body Politic, online education hub.
Throughout 2024 AFC pushed for CEDAW compliant abortion services. We are incredibly
productive, often responding directly to abortion seekers. so cannot reflect every achievement.
We publicly challenged the Department of Health refusal to commission services and met with
given departments and political representatives to press for full implementation to ensure
everyone who needs access to care can get the care they need. We presented evidence and
submitted to numerous consultations and calls for evidence. including the Department of
Education consultation on 'Relationships and Sex Education, for young people in education.
OUR AIMED OUTCOMES AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
Compel the full implementation of the law
Our lobbying aim was to enhance our relationships with Department of Health and meet with
political parties to press for policy change on abortion issues. We met with them regularly to
monitor the implementation of services. AFC have insight into the progression of commissioning
and can flag problems. In July 2021 SOSNI. Brandon Lewis met with AFC and commilled to
compel not just the Department of Health (DOH) but also the Executive to commission services.
They asked us to maintain our website information on abortion access in lieu of the (DOH). We
met party leaders of Sinn Fein (SF), Allian￿ Party, SDLP, UUP, Green Party and PBP and civil
servants to keep abortion and commissioning of seniices a priority when the {Nl) Executive
returns. We maintain and upkeep safe. accurate online infomiation for anyone seeking abortion
healthcare in (N l).
Support women and pregnant people on request throughout their abortion journey
Our Lucht Cabhrach abortion companion programme directly supported women and people
who are facing multi-layered stigma. discrimination and isolation in accessing abortion. We
continued to support women and pregnant people who contacted us seeking information, advice
or direct support through their abortion joumey. We worked alongside organisations working
th asylums seekers. refugees and those experiencing domestic Violen￿ and coercive control
and provided information and initial training on competent and compassionate abortion care.
Abortion care beyond 10 weeks can present more acute barriers for women and people who in
in abusive relationships, who are asylum seekers and refugees, who have encountered sexual
violence, who cannot attend at clinics and LGBTQI people. For those requiring surgical abortion
or abortion over 10 weeks and who contacted us for support. we also provided more involved care
care and companionship. Rogue anti-choice pregnancy organisations and clinics operating
within (Nl), continue to present difficulties and barriers for those who contact them unknowingly
and who are seeking abortions. We have provided accurate information on abortions to those
those people and reported issues with these organisations to the Department of Health and
political decision makers.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of eslimation uncertainty in the
preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of preparation
The financial slatements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporling by Charilies..
Statement of Recommended practi￿ applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance wilh the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January
2019)_ (Charities SORP (FRS102)).
Alliance for Choice Belfast Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in
the relevant accounting policy note(s)
b) Preparation of the accounts on a going concern basis
At the time of approving the financial statements. the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity
has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue
to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The estimates and undedying 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 cu￿ent and
future periods.
c) Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in
furtheranGe of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restriclions imposed by donors
or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such
funds are Gharged against the specific fund. The aim and use of restricted funds is set out in the notes to the
financial statements. Restricted funds may only be transferred to general or designated funds once the
crileria for restriction have been discharged or no longer apply.
d) Income Recognition Policies
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
The charity has enlillement to the funds.
any perfomiance conditions attached to the item of income has been met or are fully within the control of
the charity-
there is sufficient certainty that re￿ipl of the income is considered probable. and
the amount can be measured reliably.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES {ConUn￿edj
e} Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party,
il is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Expenditure is Glassified under the following activity headings=
Expenditure on charilable activities includes the costs of supporting refugee families and activities under-
taken lo further the purposes of the charity and their associaled support costs..
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading=
IrreGoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
fj Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short temi highly liquid investments with a short maturity
of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening the deposit or similar account.
g} Allocation of support costs
Support Gosts are those functions that assist the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable
activities. Support costs include back office costs, finance, personnel, payroll and governance costs which
support the charitys programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of raising
funds and expenditure on charitable activities. The bases on which support costs have been allocated are set
out in note 5.
h} Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event
that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due lo settle the obligation can
be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement
amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES IcorrfinuEdl
i) Financial Instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual
arrangemenls enlered inlo. An equity instrument is any conlracl that evidences a residual interest in the
assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a simila
debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are
presented as such in the balance sheet. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities arE
included in the profit and loss account. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of
retum on the outstanding liability.
Where the contractual tems of share capital do not have any temis meeting the definition of a financial
liability Ihen Ihis is classed as an equity instrumenl. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instrument..
are debited direct to equity.
j) Taxation
The Gompany is a registered charity and the charitable lax exemptions are therefore being claimed to the
extent that income andlor gains are applicable and applied to charitable purposes only. These exemptions
will remain in place as long as income and expenditure is applied to charitable purposes only.
k) Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity's accounting policies. the trustees 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 experienc(
and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and undedying 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 cu￿ent and
future periods.
