| Asian Women’s Resource Centre |
| (AWRC) is a specialist women’s |
| organisation based in the London Borough |
| of Brent, providing independent, specialist |
| and dedicated support services to Black, |
| Minority, Ethnic (BME) women and children, |
| at risk or experiencing abuse across |
| London. |
| AWRC was created in recognition that |
| women carry a disproportionate burden of |
| problems of displacement, isolation, and |
| exclusion from mainstream society. They |
| are more vulnerable to abuse and |
| encounter a host of intersectional barriers to |
| safety and wellbeing. The AWRC is the |
| only organisation of its kind addressing the |
| multiple needs of BME women. |
| Set up over 43 years ago, the AWRC |
| provides a range of services that offers |
| support around every aspect of women’s |
| needs, ensuring a holistic, and needs led |
| response. |
| This includes the provision of advice and |
| information, domestic abuse advocacy, |
| casework support (at all levels of risk), |
| emotional support, women’s drop-in |
| activities, support group services, |
| groupwork programmes, activities for |
| women and children and community |
| engagement work and two Pan London |
| helpline addressing harmful practices and |
| No recourse to public funds |
One of the key areas of our work is to address domestic and sexual abuse including harmful practices within the wider violence against women and girls (VAWG) agenda, this includes forced marriages, “so called” honour related abuse, faith-based abuse, female genital mutilation, caste oppression and acid attacks. The AWRC also supports women who have no recourse to public funds. Furthermore, the Centre tackles the many challenges associated with VAWG such as homelessness, welfare benefits, child contact/legal issues involving children, drugs and alcohol, mental health, parental conflicts, employment, immigration, cultural and religious pressures such as “ sharam ” (shame) and “izzat” (honour) which hold women in abusive relationships. Training and employability workshops are provided to women to develop knowledge, skills and experiences to improve their career prospects. Women are also offered social and networking opportunities through activities groups. AWRC also provides training to frontline practitioners both from the voluntary and statutory sectors on issues which affect BME women, such as self-harm and suicide, forced marriages, honour-based abuse, trafficking, and caste and dowry. The training sessions allow professionals to be more responsive to the needs of BME women and girls and provide timely responses. The AWRC is approached by 4 new women each week fleeing violent relationships, often in crisis situations requiring immediate interventions and typically advises up to 1,500 women each year. AWRC is the only place in North West London where women can seek out specialist services. Practical and same language services offered in 23 spoken community languages (Gujarati, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, Marathi, Turkish, Azarbaijani, Kurdish, Italian, Portuguese, Farsi, Pashto, Konkani, Hinko, Patwari, Bengali), Bangla, Arabic, Somalia, Dutch. Persian and Tamil as well as providing options on rights and entitlements, prioritising safety, so that women can make informed choices about their lives and those of their children. An important aspect of supporting
| survivors is that we work to ensure that |
|---|
| BME women are believed, know abuse is |
| not their fault and their experiences have |
| been understood and that women are at |
| the centre of everything that we do. |
| In addition, AWRC seeks to highlight the |
| needs of BME communities and ensure that |
| their voices influence policy and legislative |
| changes. |

Structure, Governance and Management

| Type of governing document (trust deed, royal charter) |
Para 1.25 | Governing instrument Asian Women’s Resource Centre (AWRC) is a charitable company incorporated on 29thAugust 1985 and registered as a charity on 7th September 1995. The company was established under a memorandum of association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its articles of association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. |
| How is the charity constituted? (e.g unincorporated association, CIO) |
Para 1.25 | Organisational structure The Board of Directors is responsible for strategic direction, policy-making and overall control of the charity. Members bring a variety of backgrounds and skills relevant to their governance roles and AWRC's work. In addition to office holding posts (chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer), individual trustees support specific areas of the work as lead trustees for specific projects, and are accountable to the full committee. The Board meets every two months. The Board of Directors makes decisions on strategy, compliance, accountability and monitors risk, budget, and operations. As part of its work, the Board approves the charity's business plan, annual work programmes, annual budget and receives quarterly financial reports to control the charity's performance against budgets. Day-to-day operations, staff management and operational decisions are delegated to the Director who receives supervision from the Chair. AWRC Directors' induction and training Following election/appointment each new director receives a Trustee Information Pack detailing roles and responsibilities, legal and financial information of the company, its business plan, and its operational policies. An in-house trustee induction is delivered following election of new members, which may include spending at least half a day in the offices of the charity to acquaint themselves with |
| everyday operations, staff, and services. Risk mitigation The trustees reviewed their risk assessment in November 2022. The trustees at various meeting during the year have examined likely risks of constitutional, financial, governance, management, operations, fundraising, external Influences, human resources and health and safety and agreed measures to reduce and mitigate risks. Agreed actions, systems, and procedures to mitigate risks have been implemented. Policies and legislation affecting migrant women, cuts in the welfare system, reduced avenues to access justice, and the demonization of migration coupled with increased demand for services, against a reduction in funding continue to present risks to the financial sustainability of the organisation. The complexity of these risks increases in the context of Covid-19 and the Cost of Living crisis. Despite good results this year, the Trustees continue to consider measures to mitigate risks associated with dependency on grant funding and continue attempting to diversify funding streams and secure financial sustainability |
