BRIGHTON WOMEN'S CENTRE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

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 31 March 2022. 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

a) To protect and preserve the physical and mental health of and to promote the education of women in the South East of England and in the surrounding area in particular by the provision of advice and counselling services. b) To relieve poverty amongst women in the area of benefit.

The charity was founded in 1974 and has been supporting women and children in Brighton and Hove ever since. In 2014 we expanded to supporting women across wider Sussex and from 2021 working with women in West Kent.

Our aims are to empower women and promote independence in a safe, women-only space.

For the period of this report, BWC delivered the following services:

a) Volunteer Services including Women only Hubs delivering Volunteer led Drop-Ins, Foodbank and Holistic therapies

b) Inspire Project for women caught up in the Criminal Justice System

c) Women's Accommodation Support Service

h) Well Being Activities including a Musculoskeletal Support project, Women's 50+ group as part of the city's Ageing Well Service and Write for Life groups.

With the huge support of our local community and funders and supporters we have been able to transition all of our services to remote (telephone and/or on-line support) during the Covid 19 pandemic from March 2020. This transition has enabled BWC to develop a hybrid model of support services as we begin to re-commence face to face support.

Public benefit

In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the year, the Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in the planning of future activities.

BWC makes a positive difference to the lives of women and children. We have been supporting women and children in Brighton and Hove since 1974 and across wider Sussex since 2014. We are run for women by women and we are passionate in our commitment to empower women and children.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We work with women at risk or who have faced abuse, loss, trauma, poverty and homelessness, and those in contact with the criminal justice system. Whenever we can, we address needs at an early stage to avert or mitigate further crisis. We do this by placing women at the centre of support by recognising that each woman is the expert of her own experience.

BWC offers a reparative experience with a flexible, asset-based, women-centred approach. This enables each woman to develop strengths and seek to live life to its full potential, so that she, her family, and the wider community all benefit.

We understand the challenges women face and design services that are holistic and integrated to meet diverse needs. BWC advocates for women, by working in partnership and leading on the development of women-centred policy and practice.

The main activities undertaken to carry out the Charity's aims for the public benefit include the provision of a diverse range of holistic and integrated services across Sussex and into Kent for women with multiple and complex vulnerabilities.

In Brighton and Hove, we provided:

-A Women Supporting Women Information and Support Line which during the Covid 19 pandemic replaced the weekly Women's Hubs for women in crisis and those in need of on-going stabilisation in the community. This last year we have been resuming our face-to-face work as well as maintaining our remote support due to increased need and demand for our services.

-The Women's Peer to Peer Service

-A Therapy Service - psychological therapy and dance movement psychotherapy

-Musculoskeletal Link Worker Support

-Community Engagement for women with mental health issues through the Community Roots (now U--OK)-partnership

-50 + Women's group as part of the City's Ageing Well Service

-Volunteer training

-Foodbank

We work across Sussex, including Brighton and Hove, supporting women who are rough sleeping, homeless, insecurely housed and at risk of losing their homes. This year we re-opened our Hubs and co-located women workers from partner agencies to provide a women-only service and assertive outreach support to women in need of housing support.

We work in partnership across Sussex to deliver the Inspire project which works with women caught up in the Criminal Justice Service. This year saw the transition from our partnership with the Kent Surrey Sussex Community Rehabilitation Company to a contract with the Ministry of Justice through the reunification of the Probation Service. Pleasingly we were recommissioned to deliver female case work support addressing the 9 pathways leading to reoffending -- including mental health, domestic violence, finance, debt, accommodation.

We were delighted to also re-open our Ofsted registered and awarded Outstanding Pre-school and to see children and families once again in our Centre.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Achievement and Performance 2021/22

For the year 2021/22 we achieved the following:

Inspire

Inspire is the overarching name for the work carried out in partnership with Her Majesty's Probation and Prisons Service (HMPPS) and part of this work is funded by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ).

We have 3 contracts working with women in the Criminal Justice system, all of which went live in 2021-22. -We are the commissioned provider for Women's Community Rehabilitation Services (CRS) in Sussex. Inspire provides a holistic, women-centred service for women in Sussex who are referred by their Probation officers for support. This is a 5-year contract and became live on 26.06.2021.

-From Court to Support (FC2S) project which is funded by HMPPS as a 2-year pilot supporting women who find it hard to engage with their community orders. (See separate report for FC2S.)

-Creating Community Connections (CCC): this work is in partnership with 5 women's centres across England (Anawim, BWC, Nelson Trust, Together Women and Women in Prison) and funding was awarded by the Tampon Tax Fund at DCMS. The overarching aim is to work with women who are in custody by building a network of peer champions to promote knowledge and understanding about the services offered by women's centres. Unfortunately, this project has come up against a number of barriers including covid restrictions in the prison and staff leaving and then recruitment difficulties.

Our Inspire CRS service received 213 referrals, and supported 89 women between 26th June 2021 (when the contract started) and 31st March 2022.

All service users are referred by Probation officers. The number of referrals per pathway of need is below - women can be referred for support with more than one pathway.

-Lifestyle & associates: 15

-Emotional wellbeing: 69

"My Inspire case worker is so knowledgeable and so easy to talk too, it has been great working with her and I am going to miss the support."

WASS (Women's Accommodation Support Service)

2021-2022 saw a focus on working towards a return to full operational function following the limitations of the pandemic in the previous year, with a key aim of offering face-to-face support for all women where possible and where wanted. We kept some remote working as the benefits of this became clear during the pandemic. The Women's Hub re-opened in Eastbourne in November 2021 at The Eastbourne Blind Society building.

BRIGHTON WOMEN'S CENTRE

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Face-face delivery resumed in partnership with Seaview in their St Leonard's Centre from May 2021.

We began preparation for the re-opening of our Women's Hub in Worthing in partnership with Turning Tides later in 2022.

We recruited a Complex Needs and Housing Keyworker in partnership with Advance to provide support to women involved in the Criminal Justice System in West Kent.

The level of Domestic Abuse support offered by WASS was recognised through new funding from the PCC for additional casework and the opportunity of IDVA training and qualification for staff.

We secured a new office space at Faraday House in Eastbourne office as well as a trauma-informed meeting room for Service Users and staff.

Shelter was contracted to provide training to upskill the whole casework team on homelessness and housing issues, including Domestic abuse and Homelessness.

Women's Peer to Peer Support Service

April 2021 saw 3 weekly peer groups were held each week, with the weekly online movement session (Release and Reset) and the fortnightly 50+ peer group continuing. Three year funding from The National Lottery Fund began in November 2021. The funding is for a continued and expanded service encompassing a team of 3 to allow for groups to be set up in East and West Sussex and for the service to really champion a co-production model including the set up of an organisational wide Service User Forum.

The 50+ group is funded through Ageing Well, and there is minimal funding from Together Co - enough to encourage the start of referral pathways, but while this funding doesn't contribute to service delivery it does foster partnership links within the community as P2P is part of the Together Co's Befriending Partnership.

132 peer groups held (online & face to face) 24 50+ peer groups (mostly face to face, some online) 251 individual support provided, including referrals (online, email, phonecall, face to face)

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The charity achieved incurred a surplus of £29,351 on unrestricted resources during the year and this has been added to the reserves brought forward of £288,796 to leave £318,147 to be carried forward. The aim is to increase these reserves to a level set out in the 'Reserves Policy' below

Reserves policy

The level of reserves and cash position are regularly monitored by the Trustees. The Trustees would consider a level of unrestricted reserves equivalent to 6 months operating costs to be appropriate to be held at any one time. This refers to 6 months of the total organisational costs.

The unrestricted reserves are currently £318,147.Total costs are £742,313 - so 6 months would be £371,156. The Charity considers it should be holding reserves to cover: the costs of dilapidations on the expiry of a lease; provisions for major repairs to a building; redundancy costs and a buffer if future funding is withdrawn, to provide the Charity time to look for alternative funding.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was incorporated on 12 April 1991 under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the company and is governed under its Articles of Association. It received charitable status on 8 August 1991.

The trustees reviewed the Articles of Association and agreed a number of changes to bring the Articles in line with the Charity Commission Model. The new Articles were formally adopted at the Annual General Meeting on 18 November 2019. There were no changes to the charitable objects of BWC, or any other changes requiring Charity Commission consent

Induction and training of new trustees

The trustees are committed to building the capacity of the Board of Trustees and trustees undertake training on specific areas of development, including fundraising, financial responsibilities and strategic planning.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard FRS102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The accounts are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The trustees/directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The trustees have taken advantage of the various sources of Government support during the COVID-19 pandemic and consider that it will not have a significant impact on the company's ability to continue trading. Income from trading activities is expected to reduce due to the lockdown conditions and steps are being taken to make cost savings. The trustees regard any impact to be short term rather than affecting the company's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts.

Income

Incoming resources are accounted for as follows:

Client Fees and Contract Income

Client fees and contract income are included in the period in which the income becomes receivable, i.e. when the services are provided.

Investment Income and All Other Income

These are included when receivable by the charity.

Grants

Grants receivable are credited to income in the period to which they relate, except where the donor imposes restrictions on the timing of expenditure in which case the grant is treated as deferred. Grants relating to later periods are treated as deferred income.

Fundraising Income

The income from fundraising ventures is shown gross, with associated costs included within "Costs of Generating Funds".

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 including irrecoverable VAT 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.

Resources expended are accounted for on an accruals basis:

Expenditure

a).Charitable Activities comprise all expenditure directly relating to objects of the charity. b).Costs of generating funds comprise the costs incurred in publicity and fundraising events. c).Support costs include governance costs associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of fixed assets over their useful economic lives as follows:

Fittings and Office Equipment - over 5 years straight line basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Tangible fixed assets

The charity capitalises assets costing more than £500.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK Corporation Tax purposes. Accordingly the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
