NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Objectives & Activities (continued)

North Ayrshire Women's Aid services are registered with The Care Inspectorate and is a registered workforce with the Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) under Housing Support. North Ayrshire Women's Aid works in partnership with other local and national agencies to ensure the widest possible range of high-quality services are available to women, children and young people who have experienced abuse. Central to our multi-agency engagement is our involvement with NAVAWP (North Ayrshire Violence Against Women Partnership). We have ongoing working partnerships with: Health, Education, Criminal Justice, Social Work services, Police Scotland, Women's Aid groups throughout Scotland, North Ayrshire Homelessness services, mental health services, substance misuse services and a range of third sector partners. North Ayrshire Women's Aid co-delivers training on domestic abuse throughout North Ayrshire.

Achievements and Performance

Main achievements of the charity

Specific activities included ongoing commitment to delivery training to multi-agency partners on domestic abuse awareness and Safer and Together training.

As part of its commitment to ongoing training and development of the team and of partner agencies in the understanding of the dynamics of domestic abuse NAWA was pleased to be able to host a CPD multi agency event facilitated by Dr Jane Monckton Smith, a renowned academic in the field of domestic abuse.

NAWA continued to invest in its digital presence and have noted women using the website out with office hours to seek advice or refer themselves to the service in the safest way possible.

Principal funding sources Our main funding source for this period was North Ayrshire Council with additional funds from the Scottish Government Delivering Equally Safe (DES) and Robertson Trust. NAWA has continued to benefit from kind donations from local companies, from individuals and people living in the local community. As in previous years, NAWA volunteers continued to be a pivotal part of the organisation contributing to the day-to-day delivery of service. NAWA will continue to develop both the number and role of volunteers.

North Ayrshire Women's Aid would like to extend its thanks to all its funders, the partners with whom we work, and members of the public who continue to support its work and in doing so contribute to a safer North Ayrshire for women and children.

Reserves Policy and Going Concern

The unrestricted general fund represents accumulated surpluses and deficits on unrestricted monies and is available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitable objects. The trustees aim to hold sufficient reserves to ensure the charity is on a sound financial footing and consider 9 - 12 months of operating costs appropriate. The trustees are satisfied with the current level of reserves and continue to monitor and review the reserves policy.

The charitable company has cash resources and has no requirement for external loans. The trustees consider detailed budget and management accounts to monitor the charity's activities. The trustees believe that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. They continue to believe the going concern basis of accounting appropriate in preparing these financial statements. There are no known material uncertainties regarding the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Plans for Future Periods

NAWA has just been awarded a further three-year contract with North Ayrshire Council which will allow the organisation to continue to deliver on its core purpose of providing services to women who are at risk of or are experiencing domestic abuse. It will also continue to find ways to challenge the inequalities that are faced by women across all sections of society.

NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Auditor The company’s auditor, William Duncan + Co (Audit) Ltd stands for reappointment at the charitable company’s forthcoming AGM.

Statement of Directors’/Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Trustees (who are also directors of North Ayrshire Women’s Aid for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees have taken advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the directors’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

In so far as the Trustees are aware:

There is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's auditor is unaware and the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

Approved by the Board on 20 March 2026 and signed on its behalf by:

NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of North Ayrshire Women’s Aid (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cashflows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

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.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

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 course of 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID ee Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended) require us to report to you if, in our opinion: e adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page V of the Trustees’ Report, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We have been appointed as auditor under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and report in accordance with the Acts and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder. 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 an auditor's report that 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. 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 are detailed below:

To

NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES AND MEMBERS OF NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN’S AID

eSBecause of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of noncompliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, and to the charitable company’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Regulation 10 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members and trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s 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 charitable company, the charitable company’s members as a body and the charitable company’s trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NORTH AYRSHIRE WOMEN'S AID NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025

Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or grantor. Transfers between funds are made at the discretion of the trustees taking into consideration any restrictions imposed on funds.

Income from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance. Housing benefit is included when due.

(e) Expenditure Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Cost of raising funds represents expenditure associated with attracting donations, grants and other contributions.

Governance costs includes those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the auditor's fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity which are voluntary other than trustees’ travelling expenses reimbursed. Although disclosed separately at notes 1618, governance costs now form part of charitable expenditure (page 3) under the current SORP

(j) Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. (k) Other basic financial instruments The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. . (l) Debtors Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. (m) 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 to 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.

(n) Deferred income Grants received in advance of the associated work being carried out are deferred only when the donor has imposed preconditions on the expenditure of resources.

(o) Judgements and key accounting estimates The charity considers on an annual basis the judgements that are made by management when applying accounting policies and also any key estimates that would have the most significant effect on amounts that are recognised in the financial statements.

» Details of Significant Funds

a) Designated Funds

Designated Capital Fund - This represents the net book value of fixed assets to distinguish from actual cash funds.

Support Fund - This fund was established at 31 March 2017 from accumulated donations to provide additional support as needed for women and children. Each year the fund is augmented by donations less any eligble expenditure.

Hubs Development Fund - This fund was established at 31 March 2019 to support the development of community hubs with further amounts designated, less expenditure, to continue this development.

Aftercare Fund - This find was established during the year ended 31 March 2024 when £50,000 was redesignated from other reserves. This fund provides continued support to former refuge service users.

b) Unrestricted Funds

In addition to the above designated funds, we hold general unrestricted funds for the purposes of short-term needs and longer term contingencies that may arise. The level of reserves is in line with our formal reserves policy which is regulary reviewed by the trustees.

c) Restricted Funds

Scottish Government Delivering Equally Safe (DES) - This service provides advocacy and support to women, children and young people affected by domestic abuse.

The Robertson Trust - Towards the salary costs of the service managers (community hubs).

North Ayrshire Alcohol! & Drug Partnership - local authority funding specifically for work carried out in respect of alcohol and drug related issues.

- Details of Significant Gross Transfers Between Funds

Transfers

Transfers are made in respect of contributions to core costs of the charity, specifically contributing to administrative support and other related costs and where terms / conditions have been fulfilled.

Where applicable, this is shown as a transfer from the relevant fund into a separate designated capital fund (as noted above).
