Audit opinion

Going concern

Affirmed

“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members 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 charities ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events

• “NIA has provided restorative support to over 2,000 victims of crime and anti-social behaviour, involved 3,500 young people in diversionary programmes including schools work; delivered over 3,000 restorative interventions; delivered 300 trainings and intervened in over 500 neighbourhood disputes to find a peaceful and non-adversarial resolution.”
• “NIA also enhanced its wraparound counselling mechanism to ensure clients were receiving a holistic service including restorative support, activities, mentoring and therapeutic interventions. This growth was able to happen as a result of funding from the Community Foundation N.I and the Housing Executive through sustaining tenancies funding.”
• “NIA received new funding from the Belfast Trust to help support Tier 3 vulnerable young people due to a lack of social work personnel as well as support to young people with addiction and mental health issues.”
• “NIA continued delivering on the Communities in Transition Programme through The Executive Office to tackle paramilitarism. NIA delivered projects for or along with support from Community Restorative Justice Ireland, Belfast City Council, NIHE and Big Lottery Fund (others listed in Note 3).”
• “During this financial period, NIA also received funding from the Department of Foreign Affairs for the Young Futures Programme in North Belfast which is serving to act as 'bridge' funding until Peace Plus becomes operational in January 2024 under the Strive Programme.”
• “NIA has developed a University qualification on restorative practice/justice in partnership with Ulster University and it is anticipated that this new development will help to generate a small income stream.”
