provision of this service we are able to challeng¢ M￿1$ and slereotypes surroundin8 domestic abuse victims and
also challenge the acceptance of domestic abuse in $o¢i¢ty,
Financial review
We began the new fmancial year in a more stsble position having secured extensions to funding secured in 2023
to support our core services.
Like many other charities and organisations we were operating this year with the new challenge of the Cost of
Living ¢risis
we have been fortunate to secure some specific funds for this PUTpose from various sources to
support both the organisation with rising costs bul also the Service users who had been impacted massively by
the increase in living costs.
Our services now consist of:
• 5 bed Refvge and Resettlement Support
Outreach service- including drop in, legal clinic and onc to one 5UPPOrt
. Community Support Groups
Telephone helpline and website
• Education and Prevention Service includin8 training
During strategic plannin8 and board meetin8s we are reviewing our fundin8 streams to ensure we are using our
resources in the most effective way to meet the needs of our service users. We are committed to sustaining
extsting services and developing new ones whcre possible and to ensuring continued relevance to the needs of
our service users and look forward to building on this year as we progress.
Our income for the year 2023124 was £247,275 and our spend was £245,633 The trustees made a commitment
to the continuation of the charity and are plannin8 on an ongoing basis for its sustsinabiltty and viability for the
future. This has involved the use of the reserves in the short terni when necessary - particularly to cov¢r any
commitsnents that are currently unfunded.
The trustees alongside the CEO and staff team plaDned and evaluated regularly for appropriate provision to
ensure the safe continuation of our seTvice5. We are grateful for the support of our funders, stskeholders,
supportcrs and donors at this time for their gen¢r05Aty and flexibility.

Pollcy on ruerves
The charity is aware of the need to ensure that our reserves are sufficient to covcr our costs and the reduction in
our ￿ndIng for 2023124.
The Tnjstees have set aside £90,000 contingency fimd as a designated reserve to cover approximately six
months running costs of the charity. This is to ensure thal Su￿1Clent money is held for redundancies and the
wind up of the charity should fLmding streams cease. Iwhilst the Trustees would like to increase thi5 amount
further it is not considered appropriate in the curent economic climale.
A fiuther £5.000 of reserves has been designated to specific projects. We have £130.587 of general reserves
which are available to absorb any futur¢ overspends over the next few years.

poli¢y noles.

unccrtainlics Telated to events or Conditions thal may cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to

Expenditure
All expenditUT¢ is recognised once there is a legal or con$¢ru¢tive obligation to thai expenditure, il is probable
settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allo¢ated to the applicable
expendtture heading thai aggregate similar costs lo that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to
particular headings they have been allocated on a b&8is consistent with the use of resources. with central slaff
costs allocated on the basis of time spent. and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.
Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of slaff costs.
Charltable acllvllles
Charitable expenditure comprises those cosls incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services
for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly io such activities and those costs of an
indirect nature ne¢¢$sary to support them.
Taxatio
The ¢harity is considered to p&qs the tests set out in Paragr8ph I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
therefore it meets the defmition of a charitable company for UK corporation tsx purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempi from taxation in respect of income or capitsl gains received within caiegories
covered by Chapier 3 Part I l of the Corporation Tax Ad 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
Gain5 Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains arc applied exclusively lo charitable purposes.

ourse of business.
Trnde debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subscquently measured al amortised c05t
uslng the effective interest method, less provision for impairnient. A provision for the impairment of trade
debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charfftty will not be able to coll¢¢t all amounts due
according to the original tenns of the receivables.
