Report of the Trustees
for the Year Ended 31st December 2024


The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The principal activity of the charity is the provision of independent and unbiased confidential advice, reassurance and education to women with hormonal, gynaecological and related problems as set out in the governing document. The purpose of these services is to help to relive suffering and improve quality of life.

Significant activities
At a trustee meeting on 11th December 2024 it was decided that there was no longer the need to retain the charity and to transfer the remaining funds of the charity to the British Menopause Society.

Following submission of the final accounts, the trustees would seek to wind up the charity.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The board advises income of £892 and expenses of £3591 resulting in a deficit to clear reserves of £2699 (2023 - surplus £213) for the year.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funds in deficit
From 5th July 2012 the operating responsibilities of the charity were passed to the British Menopause Society, who continue to support this charity.

The Women's Health Concern has been retained as a charity in its own right to safeguard future donations and legacies and to protect the BMS from unlikely future claims.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
New trustees are recruited when the board identifies a skills gap. New appointments are formally ratified at a board meeting. Newly appointed trustees are inducted to the policies and procedures of the charity by the chief executive and training courses are offered as appropriate.

Organisational structure
Day to day management of the charity is delegated to the honorary chief executive, Patrick Shervington, to whom the board wishes to express its gratitude for performing a wide range of duties on a voluntary basis.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of
Women's Health Concern Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Women's Health Concern Limited ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I 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 accounts to be reached.
