who have been made homeless as a result of domestic abuse or trauma. The project needed to be safe

received from the Poslcode Lottery specifically to install new UPVC windows throughout, a heavy duty
composite front door and a CCTV system. This unit allows women the safety and breathing space to make

Achlevements and performance
Yet another challenging and demanding, yet rewarding year has passed by
We housed 12 women in our female only accommodation and 17 people in our generic supported accommodation.
We have never known a time when we have had so many complex needs access our service and il has not been
wilhoul its challenges, however many of these have moved on to live independently in their own home. 11 is always
nice when they return lo see us.
We have spent a lot of time recruiting new bank staff for our accommodation unit to take the pressure off staff in
covering shifts during sicknesslholidays. Our board decided that it was the right time to have HR assislance, so we
appointed Phil Collier HR Company to assist with all our HR requirements. This has proved to be extremely helpful
for manager8 and staff alike.
We received news that we were successfully awarded a 3 years contract to continue running our Women's D.A.
Projecl. in partnership with Women's Community Matters {WCM). This will begin in April 2024 when the contract
with Barrow Borough Council comes to an end. The contract was awarded by Westmorland and Furness council
through the hard work of Rebecca Robson of WCM. We will continue to work closely with Westmorland arij
Furness Council (Barrowlsouth Lakes) and other housing providers in the private and charity sectors in the pursuit
of housing homeless individuals.
Our day centre continues to be well used as a Warm Welcome Space on a Tuesday through the colder months of
the year. In April we were very proud lo receive 5 slars from the Food Standard Agency following our inspection.
Most weeks we provide dinner for 25+ people. This is free of charge, though donations are welcome from those that
feel they are able.
Harvest donations were received from schools and churches far and wide, These donations not only help provide
provislons for use in our day centre, but they also enable us to provide food parcels to those in need.
Christmas Shelter 2023 was again a very successful lime serving over 100 meals through Christmas Day and
Boxing Day. This was only made possible due to donations, the generosity of the local community, and the hard
work of staff and volunteers. Once more we were overnhelmed by peoples generosily. 11 really does restore your
faith in human nature.
The first Forty Winks for Furness was held in December 2023, which was kindly organised by Paul Griffiths and
Beverley Morgan, members of the Town Council. 11 was also sponsored by Westmorland and Furness Council. This
raised a staggering £14KI This was a great cash injection for our charity and was only possible due lo the biave
people sleeping out al Barrow soccer ground on one of the most horrendously cold and windy nights of the year. We
would like to also thank the very generous people who sponsored those that slept out. The plan is to do this again
during December 2024.
Our Charity Shop continues to go from strength 10 Strength. We have many dedicated volunteers who together help
us to receive, sort, recycle, and sell our donations. The income is slowly increasing following Covid 19 which we are
thankful for as it generates income lo run our SUPFX)rted housing projects. Thank you 10 811 involved in Ihe Charity
Shop.
Property repairs and renewals have been ongoing throughoul 2023124. We pride ourselves in making our rooms
comfortable for our residents and we have been replacing windows and renewing flooring, beds, bedding, curtains
in our housing stock. These renewals wi15 make our properties not only warmer and cosier, but also easier to l(eep
clean.
Once again we are nudging ourselves more and more into the 21 st cenlury! We have finally said goodbye to our
yahoo email and now have an @furnesshomeless domainl This means all members of staff now have an
@furnesshomeless email making day to day working life much more manageable for slaff members.
All of our achievements are only possible due to our dedicated staff team, our volunteers and our Boardl Trustee
members who whole heartedly support us_ With staff shortages earlier Ihis year our team really have gone above
and beyond to enable our service to keep running 24-7. We truly Ihank each and every one for your contribulion to
