Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The centre is a registered charitable company limited by guarantee governed by its memorandum and articles of association and managed by a voluntary Management Committee. It has 590 members. It employs 4 full time workers, 13 part time workers and has trained young women on student placements. The charity was incorporated on 15th August 2012 and commenced its activities on 1st April 2013 when it took over all of the assets, liabilities and activities of the unincorporated charity Roshni Sheffield Asian Women's Resource Centre . The Asian Women's Centre has an Equal Opportunities and a Confidentiality Policy. The Equal Opportunities Policy is a commitment to provide access to the Centre and its services free from direct or indirect discrimination. It is a commitment to provide support and assistance regardless of race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin etc. The Confidentiality Policy has been developed to protect clients seeking advice and support from the Centre. There have been no no significant changes in the policies of the charity during the year.

Appointment of Management Committee

Trustees, who are also directors for the purpose of company law, are appointed as members of the management committee whether through death or resignation of an existing trustee.

Trustee induction and training

New trustees are encouraged to attend short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These cover:

- The obligations of Management Committee Members

- Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published financial statements

- Future plans and objectives

Trustees are provided with the Charity Commissions guide "the Essential Trustee" and the latest financial statements.

Risk management

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Related parties

The trustees consider that there are no related parties.

Objectives and activities

How our activities deliver public benefit

Roshni is a central resource centre for information, advice and support; the primary purpose of the charity is the advancement of education (including social and physical training) of Asian Women in the City of Sheffield.

The trustees consider that they have complied with the duty as set out in section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission, including public benefit guidance.

Achievements and performance

The centre delivered services to 1437 women in the city and 57 children received support over the year through the following services and activities:

- One to one Advocacy support was provided to 406 women over the year of which 156 were new clients. A before and after review was undertaken with 53 of these clients who had received advocacy and coaching to reach their development goals and targets.

- 1,222 cooked meals provided through Roshni Kitchen to 118 women and children in food poverty.

- 30 marginalised women new to the world of work and volunteering, trained and supported to volunteer at Roshni Kitchen.

- One to one Bilingual Cultural Counselling sessions completed by 54 women, in addition to 4 Wellbeing courses delivered to 38 women. This included the delivery of the Power to Change Course which was run in partnership with IDAS - a wellbeing course aimed at women who have experienced domestic abuse.

- Employment skills: 38 women have completed our Employment preparation courses and were given further support around looking for work. As a result, 16 women have secured paid work, and 17 women took up further volunteering opportunities.

- We set up a new project specific to 12 South Asian women suffering from type 2 Diabetes and delivered cookery workshops at Roshni kitchen to raise awareness of appropriate diet and lifestyle.

- 38 new Domestic Abuse cases were supported over the year in which 43 children were involved. Of these women 23 of them had no recourse to public funds and 30 of them needed language support as they had little or no English language skills.

- 12 women took part in in-person wellbeing sessions for mothers and a further 32 had regular parenting tips over WhatsApp, women fed back that they used the tips with their children to improve behaviour. One of the mums went on to become a volunteer and helped to run the sessions.

- 13 training courses were delivered on Employment preparation, Self- advocacy, Digital skills, driving theory and Life in the UK courses - each of the courses were between 6 to 10 weeks, and the total number of learners was 86. We reduced the number of courses to accommodate the need for greater casework due to the large number of clients. We combined advocacy courses with Digital Skills and had larger class sizes for Employment preparation courses.

- Leaflets and resources were developed to raise awareness of long covid, and the information was disseminated to 399 women.

- South Asian Elder Cafe group sessions and activities were accessed by 49 clients to alleviate loneliness and/or isolation, of whom 23 were elders from the Bangladeshi community in Shuffled.

- We engaged and supported 36 women through our People Keeping Well service to provide wellbeing support and advocacy to women struggling with their mental wellbeing.

- Holiday Activities & Food Programme (HAF) sessions delivered to 57 children in receipt of free school meals in the school holidays. Most of these children are from single parent households and most have experienced some form of Domestic Abuse.

- Walks for Wellbeing were delivered in partnership with SEM (Shuffled Environment Movement) and were accessed by 59 women across the city.

- Day trips, events and a conference for girls was organized and delivered throughout the year. Day trips were taken up by 233 Asian women and children.

This year, we ran employability training with the Bangladeshi women living in the Darnall area of the city. These sessions prove to be very popular, providing an opportunity to gain information as well as providing a means of reducing isolation and loneliness amongst elders in the city. We have also been undertaking weekly chair aerobics over zoom in response to women's health concerns and feelings of isolation/depression. Many of the women we work with want to be-come more active citizens and have gone on to join our Walks for Wellbeing with SEM and other Health based initiatives which we are delivering in Darnall. Many others are going on to take up volunteering opportunities with us with a view to contributing to both the Roshni Kitchen and the Roshni Garden.

The past year has also seen the launch of Roshni Kitchen, our new social enterprise venture, which has grown from strength to strength. Not only are we providing Ayurvedic based nutritional meals from our café to the general public, we have also been providing nourishing meals, in kind, to vulnerable women attending our services who are in poverty and/or have no access to cooking facilities.

Financial review

The principal funding sources of the organisation during the year were Sheffield City Council, The Big Lottery Fund, The Henry Smith Charity, Lloyds Foundation, Islamic Relief, Smallwood Trust, Synergy and South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, amongst others (see note 5).

Investment policy

The constitution authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are currently held.

Reserves policy

It is the policy of the charity to build up the level of unrestricted funds to a level which equate to approximately 6 months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs.

Plans for future periods

In the coming year we are planning more focused work with younger Asian women in crisis and will be in working in partnership with schools and colleges so that young women can access our counselling and therapy service. We will also be developing the reach of Roshni Kitchen around the city and will explore ways of expanding our business venture. We will continue to utilize our Kitchen Cafe to train women in an array of skills, opening up their interest and opportunities to the world of work. We are also looking forward to working with Roshni Kitchen to deliver a series of health-based workshops called More life to tackle obesity with our South Asian clients. Roshni Garden is also flourishing, and a new hot compost bin has been introduced so that we can utilize the waste from Roshni Kitchen and focus on recycling and helping the climate.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Roshni Sheffield Asian Women's Resource Centre

Year ended 31 March 2025

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Roshni Sheffield Asian Women's Resource Centre ('the charity') for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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 the 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

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), which is one of the listed bodies.

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 charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements 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 financial statements 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

Year ended 31 March 2025

1. General information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 444 London Road, Sheffield, S2 4HP, United Kingdom.

2. Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', 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 (FRS 102) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.

3. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Roshni - Sheffield Asian Women's Resource Centre meets the definition of a public 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).

Going concern

Whilst the impact of the Covid-19 global pandemic has been felt by many organisations, the charity retains sufficient unrestricted reserves to ensure that there is no material impact on the ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future.

Disclosure exemptions

In line with the Charities SORP (FRS102) Update Bulletin 1: (a) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (b) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes. Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income: - income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably. - legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established. - income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers. - income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates: - expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods. - expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities. - other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Long leasehold property	-	2% straight line
Fixtures and fittings	-	25% reducing balance and straight line
Cafe/Kitchen Equipment	-	25% straight line

A full year's depreciation is charged in the year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal. Assets costing less than £100 are not capitalised but are treated as resources expended in the period in which the cost is incurred.

Financial instruments

A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or paable including any related transaction costs, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted. Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions in respect of the charity's defined contribution pension scheme are charged to the income and expenditure account for the year in which they are payable to the scheme. Differences between contributions payable and contributions actually paid in the year are shown as either accruals or prepayments at the year end.

4. Limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee, with a liability of members in case of winding up of £1.
