## ACHIEVEMENTS & ACTIVITIES 

JWA continues its core work of supporting Jewish women and girls and their children, by providing a holistic and high-quality domestic abuse and sexual violence support service. Outreach and prevention activities are undertaken with the objective of preventing violence against women and girls through increased awareness and understanding across the community. 

Directors of each department - Client Services, Outreach & Prevention and Business Services - all report to the CEO. Each director linemanages all staff within their departments, conducting regular supervision and appraisal meetings and ensuring staff support and professional development sits at the heart of their work. 

## CLIENT SERVICES 

The JWA free Helpline and Webchat services continue to be the first point of contact for many of our service users and are staffed by over 40 volunteers who receive ongoing support and training. In the year to July 2023, we received 634 calls/chats/emails. These avenues of support are a core feature of what we offer Jewish women and girls: a confidential space to tell us what is happening to them and be heard. 

Our team of 16 qualified and 2 trainee counsellors provided sessions to 129 Jewish women across the UK either in-person, by telephone or video. All counsellors receive regular training and supervision and comply with good practice guidelines. 

Services receive funding from various statutory sources including MOPAC (Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime), Ministry of Justice and London Councils in addition to financial support from the Jewish community. 

As the cost-of-living crisis continues, JWA is fully committed to working to meet the needs of our community, with support from our generous donors. 

10 



Our sexual violence service worked with 29 women and girls offering specialist counselling and advocacy, helping them work through trauma and navigate their options for criminal justice should they choose this route. 

Our MOPAC-funded support for young women continued. 49 women and girls aged 14-30 were supported. This specialist service enables us to tailor work to younger women and girls who need support with a variety of issues such as sexual violence, stalking and intimate image abuse. 

Our specialist children’s service saw our children’s therapists deliver 394 one-to-one sessions to 30 children. Children in this service have experienced significant trauma through exposure to domestic abuse in the home, and these weekly sessions are crucial for their recovery. 

Our McKenzie Friend programme continues to lend legal support and this year 12 women were accompanied in the family court for moral and practical support - this is essential given the traumatic experience court can be for a woman who has experienced domestic abuse. 

JWA now runs a free monthly legal clinic for the benefit of clients requiring family law advice. This was established in June 2023 and as of end of January 2024 had assisted 19 clients. 

JWA's Designated Safeguarding & Child Protection Officer and Deputy ensure reporting continues to work well and highlights safeguarding concerns as soon as they arise, enabling early intervention. 

The Director of Client Services and managers attend the practice meetings for Ascent, Ascent Advice PLUS and CouRAGEous, the quarterly Barnet review meetings, Barnet MARAC (Multi-agency Risk Assessment Conference) Steering Group as well as representing JWA at Imkaan and LVAWGC (London Violence Against Women and Girls Consortium) meetings. 

The Advocacy Services Manager completed her SafeLives Manager Training. Our Senior IDVA and IDVAs completed their SafeLives IDVA Training.

## OUTREACH & PREVENTION SERVICES — 

The Outreach & Prevention Directorate was created in May 2022 and is (Schools, Youth and Community) and a three-year strategy in place. ¥ now fully embedded in the organisation with three clear workstreams i We have continued to deliver training and education about domestic . abuse, healthy relationships and consent, generating a more open > cs discussion in our community, shifting attitudes and building a culture supportive of and safe for women. The team launched our Whole School Approach in September 2022, and Year 12 School Ambassadors, to sit alongside our student facing ? offering a new programme of training and education to teachers, parents sessions in schools. Much of this work has taken place as part of our role as delivery partner in the Healthy London, Healthy Relationships programme, led by AVA (Against Violence & Abuse) and the London VAWG Consortium Prevention Strand. We delivered training sessions in five Jewish schools for 231 teachers, two educational sessions for 285 parents and a programme for seven Year 12 students, during which they attended a series of lunchtime sessions and then devised their own healthy relationships session which they delivered across Year 7, reaching 240 students. We delivered 133 age-appropriate workshops and assemblies to 3,524 young people in 12 schools in London and Manchester. The main topics include healthy relationships, identifying red flags in relationships, power dynamics, consent, social and cultural influences, signs of abuse, empathy, communication skills, bystander skills, peer pressure, expectations of relationships, gender stereotypes, image based sexual abuse (IBSA), sexual violence, including sexual harassment and rape culture.

We are delighted our work in this space, as part of the AVA-led partnership, has been recognised as an example of best practice by End Violence Against Women and Girls in their report, “It’s #AboutTime - A Whole School Approach to Ending Violence Against Women and Girls,” published in June 2023, and our Schools Manager was invited to be on the panel for the report launch alongside Kim Leadbeater MP and representatives from AVA and other sector leaders. 

Over the year, we have provided training to 323 youth and student professionals and voluntary leaders in 20 sessions covering similar topics to those in schools but with a focus on how to create safer settings in youth and student organisations. A particular highlight was training 185 youth leaders to prepare them for residential events involving several thousand young Jewish people over the spring and summer. We also produced a Relationships Abuse information leaflet which we distributed at an annual student conference in February 2023, where we also delivered educational sessions to 50 Jewish university students. 

12 



In the wider community, we delivered a successful JWA Shabbat in December 2022, aligned with the 16 Days of Activism in the wider VAWG sector. This is our annual crosscommunal awareness-raising Shabbat, supported by eight key Jewish organisations. We produced a ‘Domestic Abuse in the Jewish Community’ information leaflet and information about our work to be read out to congregations, which was distributed to 185 synagogues. 

We also recruited a Community Engagement Officer in April 2023, who has increased engagement with synagogues and Jewish community organisations, with a focus on rabbis and rebbetzens. We have also delivered educational sessions at six synagogues and religious bodies, reaching 210 community members and staff. 

The JWA workplace sexual harassment prevention programme has provided training for six organisations, to support them in preventing and responding to sexual harassment in the workplace. The programme comprises a Staff survey, training with senior leaders and support with developing policies and procedures and receives funding from the Jewish Leadership Council. An additional six organisations attended a half day online workshop covering an overview of the key information for employers about sexual harassment in the workplace.

Several of our supporters raised money for JWA through challenge events and by asking friends and family to donate in celebration of a birthday or anniversary. 

Throughout the year, our presence and engagements on social media have consistently expanded across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and X (Twitter). Our audience has increased, including followers with prominent public profiles, and the sharing of our posts has seen a notable rise. Newsletters in the form of e-shots from our database are sent regularly to all stakeholders informing them of JWA events and news as well as a link to our Impact Summary which is produced twice yearly. 

As part of ensuring JWA reaches a broader demographic, advertising was extended to appear regularly in religious newspapers and publications, adapting the advertising copy accordingly, often appearing alongside editorial. An advert also appeared in a publication aimed at the UK Israeli audience with copy in Hebrew. In addition, JWA supplied 26 pharmacies in 8 boroughs (across London, Essex and Manchester) with branded paper bags with JWA contact details for chemists to give to customers. The cost was covered by a generous donor. 

JWA was featured in online and offline media pieces and had 48 articles featured in all the main Jewish newspapers as well as mainstream newspapers, The Guardian and The Metro, covering all aspects of our work.

## CEO 

After eight years as CEO Naomi Dickson left JWA in December 2022. During her tenure JWAss profile within and beyond the community grew and there has been a shift in attitudes towards domestic abuse. JWA is well respected across domestic violence sector organisations, within the charity sector and in the political sphere. Naomi used these platforms to achieve systemic change.

m:<br>:<br>; 7<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


A recent landmark development was the inclusion of faith-based abuse as part of the definition of domestic abuse in the Statutory Guidance to the Domestic Abuse Act 2021. For the women we support, this means faith-based abuse and coercion, including Gett refusal, are acknowledged in court and can be treated as part of criminal proceedings - a game changer for many, not only in the legal process but as a deterrent to would-be abusers. 

JWA is proud to work in collaboration with other organisations to ensure the best outcomes for women. JWA is a member of representative bodies including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, the Jewish Leadership Council, Women’s Aid Federation England and IMKAAN (a second-tier organisation supporting specialist domestic abuse service providers), all of which enrich and ensure better understanding of our work. 

Monica Tuohy joined Jewish Women’s Aid as Interim CEO in January 2023. 

In December 2023, JWA announced the appointment of Sam Clifford as CEO. Sam brings with her a wealth of experience in leadership roles within the Jewish community and we look forward to her taking up her position in April 2024.

## RESERVES POLICY 

JWA‘s reserves policy is focused on maintaining a balance between holding sufficient reserves to safeguard its financial commitments and continuing to provide services in line with the Charity’s objectives in the event of unforeseen financial problems, for a period of time to allow those issues to be resolved. Reserves are required to provide ongoing services and to finance future plans in line with the aims and strategic vision of JWA. There is a requirement for prudent management of financial commitments and an allowance for future contingencies in the event of unforeseen financial circumstances, such as reduced income streams or increased demand for services. A relatively small percentage of JWA income is from statutory agencies. Therefore, JWA relies heavily on voluntary donations and must ensure that reserves are maintained such that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, it will be able to continue its activities until additional funds may be raised. On an annual basis, the Board agrees detailed budgets. Performance against these budgets and forecasts is closely monitored by the Board. The Board maintains oversight of the reserves policy. 

The JWA policy is that unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets should equate to approximately nine months of costs. The calculation is based on the 2023-2024 budget figures. The calculation at 31 July 2023 gives a target reserves level of £1.2m. 

Reserves at 31 July 2023 The reserves designated in 2022 of £126,557 were fully utilised in the year to 31 July 2023. 

Unrestricted reserves, which are not designated, were £1,402,585 (2022 £1,340,868). This is broadly in line with the target level of reserves. 

Based on the above policy and the current growth of the charity, it is considered that the level of reserves is appropriate.

DOMESTIC ABUSE CLIENT

The Trustees have responsibility for setting up and reviewing the risk management system at JWA. A risk register is maintained which is used to monitor key risks and is reviewed by the Trustees at quarterly Board meetings. 

## Financial 

JWA operates in a challenging and demanding arena with few certainties over funding and limited local authority or other governmental funding. Therefore, each year fundraising and events are required to raise the necessary funds to run the charity. Management time is allocated to managing donor relationships and striving to secure multi-year funding commitments. To mitigate these risks, JWA operates strict financial controls and continually monitors its financial position, including regular forecasting. The annual budgets, reforecasts and management accounts are regularly reviewed. JWA also has a risk assessment policy to identify, evaluate and prioritise risks to the organisation. 

Some of the key controls used by the charity to mitigate these risks are: 

- + Formal agendas and minutes for Board of Trustees and all other committee meetings. 

- Detailed terms of reference for all committees. 

- Annual budget and regular management accounts. 

- + Formal written policies including authority limits and a Finance Procedures Handbook. 

- An Executive sub-committee for operational risk management. 

- + An annual business plan, quarterly Key Performance Indicators and a three-year strategic plan. 

## Operational 

The nature of our services (supporting women and children affected by domestic violence) increases our operational risks. These are managed through the implementation of suitable policies, procedures and processes including case management, continual staff training, supervision and reporting structures. Through these procedures, the Board of Trustees is satisfied major risks are identified and procedures implemented so that key risks are minimised. 

Safeguarding is essential in our client facing services. All volunteers and staff receive safeguarding training as part of their induction and regular updates are provided. Training on all aspects of compliance, including data protection, is provided for all staff and volunteers. 

IT systems, data and cyber security risks are mitigated through the employment of professional IT support and secure cloud-based servers. JWA staff receive training on IT risks.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORI 

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. 

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.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: 

- The information given in the Trustees’ Report is inconsistent in any material respect with the financial statements; or 

- Sufficient accounting records have not been kept; or 

- The financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or 

- We have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. 

As explained more fully in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement, 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.

INDEPENDENTC fe F AUDITOR’SSs ? REPORTa ) 

## AUDITOR’S? RESPONSIBILITIES FOR 

We have been appointed as auditor under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act 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 Auditors’ 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 financialinfluencestatements.the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 

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 Auditors’ Report. 

## U S : O F O U R 

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 . ore . . irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: , , - — Enquiring of management around actual and potential litigation and elas: - Reviewing board meeting minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; - — Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations: - Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias. 

This report is made solely to the , charitable company’s trustees, as , a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) REgetetions 200k: Cat audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charteble company's senate ose matters we are require . to state to them in an Auditors Report ane for no other ed by 0 the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and its members, ae body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. 

BKL Audit LLP PRaqarad APEAUTTSRIE Statutory Auditor Llacrrsestioney 

Because of the ;inherent limitationsae of an audit, there is a risk that we PRaqarad APEAUTTSRIE will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material Statutory Auditor misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with Llacrrsestioney 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 non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or ———_ misrepresentation.P Dated:

BKL Audit LLP are eligible to act as auditors in terms of section 1212 of the Companies Act 2006

Jewish Women’s Aid Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales, and a Registered Charity. 

The principal activity of the company during the year is that of providing support to Jewish women and girls who are experiencing sexual and domestic violence, in a culturally sensitive way. 

The registered office is 35 Ballards Lane, London, N3 1XW. 

## 2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102), and the Companies Act 2006. Jewish Women’s Aid Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

- 2.2. General Information 

The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 17 February 1995. The members of the company are Trustees named on page 2. In the event of the company being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Company 

## 2.3 Going concern 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The Trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## 2.4 Incoming resources 

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably. Grants are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not expended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued. 

35 



## 2.5 Resources expended 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis. Costs of raising funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income and include staff salaries, printing & publicity, telephone etc. Charitable activities include costs associated with frontline community services, for instance: staff salaries, rent, telephone etc. Support costs include central functions and shared overhead costs and have been apportioned to activity cost categories on the basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance costs represent costs incurred by the Charity in respect of management of the Charity’s assets, organisational administration and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements. All apportionments are made on the basis of time spent on different activities by specific staff responsible for related tasks. 

Expenditure on raising funds includes all expenditure incurred by the Charity to raise funds for its charitable purposes and includes costs of all fundraising activities events and non-charitable trading. 

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity’s objectives, as well as any associated support costs. 

## 2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation 

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. 

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives on a reducing balance basis. Depreciation is provided on the following basis: Fixtures and fittings - 25% per annum on reducing balance 

## 2.7 Current asset investments 

Investments are initially recognised at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, current asset investments are revalued to fair value with the movements recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. Where market value or fair value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment. 

2.8 Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and 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. 

## 2.9 Liabilities and provisions 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. 

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the 

36 



Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost. 

## 2.10 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## 2.11 Operating leases 

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a Straight line basis over the lease term. 

## 2.12 Pensions 

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year. 

## 2.13 Accumulated funds 

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes. 

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

## 2.14 Donated gifts, services, facilities 

Donated professional services and facilities are recognised as income when the Charity has control over the item or received the service, any conditions associated with the donation have been met, the receipt of the economic benefit from the use of the item by the Charity is probable and economic benefit can be measured reliably. In accordance with the Charities SORP(FRS 102) general volunteer time is not recognised so please refer to the Trustee’s annual report for more information about their contribution.

## 14 STATEMENT OF FUNDS (CONTINUED) 

## DESIGNATED FUNDS 

Over the past years, demand for JWA’s services has increased consistently which resulted in expansion of our services and increased our staff numbers. In order to manage our services efficiently, in 2021 the Board committed and therefore designated reserves in order to implement: 

- + The restructure of the leadership and management team; 

- + Expansion of our outreach and prevention services including the implementation of year two of our sexual harassment service. 

- Reserves designated in 2022 of £126,557 were spent in the financial year to 31 July 2023. 

## RESTRICTED FUNDS 

The restricted funds above will be utilised in the next financial year unless otherwise stated below: 

- Welfare - these funds relate to requests for assistance in specific cases of hardship and will be spent as the cases arise. 

- Counselling service - these funds were granted by The Doris Pacey Foundation for the provision of the counselling service and will be spent in the next financial year. 

- * Sexual harassment project - this funding was to complete our sexual harassment programme and is now ended. 

- Client services - the funds received include statutory income and funding specifically for the domestic violence service. The funds will be spent in the next financial year. 

- + Outreach and Prevention - these funds were granted for the work done in raising awareness of domestic abuse, healthy relationships and consent. They will be spent in the next financial year.

A prior year adjustment has been made to restricted funds, as expenditure of £21,040 relating to the Sexual Harassment Project was previously classified under Client Services. The impact on the financial statements is to reclassify these funds from Clients Services to the Sexual Harassment Project for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees believe this is a more accurate reflection of the nature of the expenditure.
